"Moze, please save your strength. Please..." Olivier’s voice is shaky when she whispers. "I don't... I don't know how to say goodbye. I can't say goodbye to you. You mean so much to us."
Moze gave a weak smile, her eyes fluttering as she tried to keep them open. She heard the faintest sound of teleporting, her vision being filled with Kida, Jax, and Billy. "Ken...you...have to...be....strong..." she whispered. "Jun...I am proud...of you..."
Kida knelt beside Moze, taking a scanner and checking the Red Ranger over. Her scanner beeped, and she sighed. "Moze...I'm sorry," she said softly. "If we try and remove the claws, she'll bleed out instantly. We try and move her, the gash on her neck opens up and she bleeds out instantly. There's nothing we can do."
Moze smiled softly, a tear falling down her cheek. "I...am...happy. You all...gave me...hope..." She blinked softly, her eyes focusing on the sun. "Derek....will I....see my mother....?"

Jun saw the injuries inflicted on Moze and his face turned dark but he smiled sadly, "Thanks... and if you see my brother... tell him I will be there soon," he said.

Derek was silent for a moment. He didn't want to accept it. He couldn't stomach the thought of this being it. When Moze asked about seeing her mother, something clicked. He was finally coming to terms with this being the end, knowing Moze would finally be at peace with her mom.
"You will." Derek smiled softly. "When you see her, tell her I'm sorry."

Moze smiled. "I...promise," she whispered. "Kakoye chudesnoye chuvstvo... umeret' sredi sem'i." Her eyes closed, hands falling onto her stomach as her last breath left her. Her Key fell to the ground, glowing lightly before it dimmed, signaling the end of the Red Ranger's life.
Kida sighed softly, putting her hand on Ken's shoulder. Jax put his hands on his sister and Derek. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "We need to get out of here."

Derek was quiet, finally letting Moze go both literally and figuratively. When he heard Jax, he stood up, getting a good look at Moze one last time.
"Goodbye, my friend."

Olivier quietly weeps as she watches Moze takes her last breath. At the very least she finds comfort knowing Moze went home to her mother. She gets up to lean against Cole. "See you later, my friend." She whispers.

Jun wiped the tears off of his face and he walks away, not wanting to see Moze's lifeless body, knowing that the leader was gone.

The war with the Empire was over. With Dhazan dead, his ships in orbit started to splinter, breaking apart on reentry, most peices falling into the worlds oceans. Kida and Jax teleported back to base with Moze's body, the former Rangers mourning for their fallen Red Ranger. _______________
A week passed for the Rangers, a week filled with sorrow on all fronts. First was Kaleb's funeral, all of SPD in attendance. The Rangers were there to support Ken, knowing that the Blue Ranger needed them in that time. Two days after Kaleb's funeral, Moze's happened. The Shift Steel Rangers, Kida, Jax, Billy, and anyone that knew Moze attended, a bigger turnout then anyone expected.
"She touched a lot of lives." Kida had said, something the others agreed with.
Now, sitting in the Command Center, Kida sighed as she looked at the Rangers in front of her, the six remaining members of the team. "This war is over," she said, standing up and sighing, rubbing her arm. "At great cost. We won't forget what Moze did, taking Dhazan down. There's still wreckage to be picked up, but listening to sources on KO-35, Triforia, Miranoi, Onyx, and Sirius, the Empire's fleet has been stopped. Most shuttles fell out of the sky, and thankfully nobody's been hurt by the rubble."
She took a case from Jax, opening it up and revealing Moze's Caller and Key in the center of the foam, five more spaces carved out for Keys and Morphers. "That means your guys times are up. For now. UNtil the Machine Empire comes back. We're monitoring for anything about Gaskety and AXIM twenty-four/seven. We won't make you turn them in, especially if you don't want to, but the choice is yours. The Keys are bonded to you, so that means any sign of "bad guy" trouble on our scale, even locked away, they'll come back to you."

Jun sighed as he listened to what Kida and Jax had said, "After what happened, I think I will take another shot at being a Ranger. Don't want Moze's loss to be in vain," he said.

Derek looked at Kida then down at the case. The last few days have been challenging for the Silver Ranger as he was processing the deaths of both Kaleb and Moze. Unlike the last time he attended a Ranger funeral, he wasn't wallowing in despair but yet controlling anger. Had Ken trusted the team to go through with the final attack that was in the works, Kaleb and Moze might still be alive but now, they're mourning two friends because someone decided to be reckless. Out of respect for Kaleb, Derek didn't haul off and slug Ken but he has kept his distance, not wanting to say a word to him for fear of going off.
Instead, he chose to move forward and hoped that any villain that tried their luck would at least wait for a while.
"Ya know, if you'd ask for this key six months ago, I'd have given it to you with a bow and even a wad of cash as a thank you." Derek chuckled. "But after everything that's happened, I think I'll hold onto this for a bit." Derek held the key in his hand. And if I never have to use this puppy again, so be it."

Olivier mulls it over. After what happened in the final battle, she takes the time to figure things out moving forward. While she remains disappointed with Ken and his actions, she does not let this rule her. Not when he's coming to terms with the loss of his father. So she focuses on living like Moze wants for her.
"I have my considerations. I talk about it with Cole in advance." Olivier says, a genuine smile forming for the first time in a long time. "I want to keep going. Not just for Moze and everyone, but for me."

Kida looked at the Rangers and smiled. "Good," she said. She looked at Ken and Cole, seeing the brothers had been the most silent. She sighed softly. "Boys? What do you think?"

Cole was the first to speak up he looked at his Shift Steel Phone and Ranger key a long while before he handed both to Kida " just to clarify I'm not giving up I'm only doing this because I want to enjoy my vacation with Olivier" the Green Ranger said smiling
Ken followed suit handing over his Shift Steel Phone and Ranger key Moze's last words to me were be strong between running SPD and helping out around the city I'll have plenty of time to try and become the kind of strong King she could be proud of"

Kida took the Keys and Callers, putting htem on either side of the REd Key and Caller. "Alright. When the need arises, these are right here for you," she said. She looked at everyone, closing hte case and setting it aside. "We need to be the people Moze would be proud of. No more bickering, no more fighting, no more "I can do better!" out of anyone. It's time to stop being petty. Especially when AXIM and Gasket come back." "And when that happens, we'll find a new Red Ranger to fill in the ranks. When that happens, you all will have to help whoever it is," Jax said. "That being said...this is it. We'll all be around, and everyone's got everyone's numbers. Don't be strangers. Have fun. You've all earned it," Kida said. With a final goodbye, the Shift Steel Rangers departed the Command Center, some planning on resting, some planning vacations, some planning on focusing on their personal relationships and businesses. In time, the Machine Empire would come back, but that was a fight for another day. _____________ Across town, the sound of beings digitizing in an office building was heard in Marius Masters' office. Gasket stepped forward, bowing his head. "Mr. Masters. My name is Prince Gasket of the Machine Empire. This is AXIM. The three of us need to have a discussion." TO BE CONTINUED
END OF POWER RANGERS SHIFT STEEL SEASON 1
