"I'll see you guys soon!" Daniel told Eubulon, Kit, Ronin, and Baron as they left. The biggest plus side for him was not only he got to keep his real memories, he got a chance to visit his friends whatever he liked through his mirror travel. The Silver Ranger smirked softly by Alpha's reaction to Commander Finley's comment, knowing a light mood was needed. "So what happens now?" He found himself asking.
"What happens is that you have a decision to make, man." Joey said to Memphis, looking at the lone dimensional portal and then back at Memphis.
"Yeah... I do." For what seemed like forever, Memphis stared into that portal. He had two choices. He was happy here. He had a fresh start and even with his brooding, he had friends, a community, a purpose beyond just being a Ranger. Back home, even with all of the good he had done, he was still plagued by lies and false accusations along with those who would never accept him no matter what.
"This should be easy but there's one person that is making this so hard." As much as Memphis loved Regi, he couldn't help but wonder if maybe she was better off without him since that world was now safe. In the end, it was destiny that guided his choice with a bit of deductive reasoning.
"Close it."
Xavier walked up to the group, somewhat puzzled by this decision. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah." Memphis closed his eyes, praying that he had made the right decision. "I'm sure."
After Memphis made his declaration to stay, Xavier closed the final dimensional portal.

Like Xavier, Daniel was a bit confused by Memphis’s decision. He thought he would return to his own dimension to see his friends and his girlfriend again. Instead, his Gold comrade had made up his mind, choosing to stay here. Perhaps his tenure here really changed him immensely. "They're going to miss you though." He said softly, referring to Memphis's team and his girlfriend. "But you being happy is what matters most, okay."

"I know." Memphis sighed, coming to grips with what closing that portal actually means.
"Daniel's right. You have to do what's best for you." Jenn smiled. "Your world is safe and our world is safe so you've done what you set out to do. Now I guess you can carve your own path with what you choose."

"So I guess that means your gonna follow your mom's lead and become a teacher?" Nolan said as he gently wrapped his arms around Jenn. "You'd be a good fit. Kind, Gentle, Nurturing. I think the kids would like you alot. I know I do." Nolan smirked.

"We'll see." Jenn responded, feeling at ease in Nolan's arms. "With everything that's happened over the past year, I didn't think about it as much as I probably should have. At least now I have some time with things going back to normal. Although I think they'd like me for different reasons than you do." Jenn smirked.
"I'm glad you're staying man." Joey chimed in, visibly pleased that the Gold Ranger was staying in this world. "And I bet I know someone else who will be too."
"Gee.. I wonder who you could be talking about?" Memphis responded sarcastically before the two shared a knowing fist bump.
As the Rangers were celebrating their final victory, Zeo's ship began to glow and the lone living Eltarian Guard began to glow as well.
"It must be the new elders." Xavier surmised. "They are bringing me back to Eltar to pay for my crimes against the Grid." He said before rotating his glance so that he may see all of the Rangers. "I understand that this may mean nothing for you but I'm sorry for the role that I played in this turmoil and for Zeo losing his way. I know that there is nothing I can do to absolve myself of the atrocities that I committed or allowed to happen but I at least want to do my part to help ensure that it doesn't happen again."
Xavier removed his gauntlet and handed it to the Red Ranger. "I fear that with so many Rangers and villains going through these portals at the same time, there may be some malfunctions where some of them did keep their memories along with your comrades from this world who fought with you and depending on who may have retained their memories, it may spell potential trouble for you. You all should be prepared. Just in case."
"Thank you." Joey nodded to Xavier just before the genius of Eltar vanished along with his ship. While everything Xavier said was true, his decision to aid them in bringing those Rangers over and turn on Garland was huge and without it, the Rangers may not be standing here today.

Daniel watched Xavier and Zeo's ship teleported away, saying farewell in his thoughts. Then he huffed softly, his hands on his hips. "And now, the rebuilding truly begins." He said. "Starting with a celebration, a memorial, and picking up Dotto."

With Zeo defeated, Xavier in custody and the additional villains back in their own time, it was time to everyone to move forward both in celebration and in honoring those who gave their lives for the fight against evil. Over the next several days, it was a mad scramble to get everything organized for a mass memorial, honoring Kenny, Brooklyn, Tommy, Delphinne, Julian, Amy, Christian, and Commander Storm, all of which fell at the hands of the Eltarians over the course of the past year. Thanks to coordination between Dr. Manx, Kat, Ronin, and Madi Prescott, the Ninja Storm Blue Ranger they were able to organize a centralized memorial in Angel Grove to ensure that these heroes were all honored for their sacrifices.
A few days after the mega memorial, everyone agreed to meet up at the Hartford Residence in San Angeles for a large party to celebrate Zeo's defeat and their combined efforts to save the multiverse. Unlike those who came from different timelines, all of the Rangers from this Earth kept their memories of the encounter which would mean some interesting stories to be told after what they are dubbing The Grand Battle.
"You've got some nice digs here, Hartford." Finley admired the former Ranger mentor's home while taking a swig of his beer.
"Thank you. It ended up being one of the few options available that could house all of the Rangers comfortably without the prying eyes of the public."
"It was a good suggestion." Dr. Manx walked up to Andrew, taking his hands into hers. "Thank you for opening your home to us on this day."
"Anything I can do to help." Andrew smiled. "My team may not be active anymore but Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger."
"I swear... you should get that trademarked." Joey walked up with Jules at his side, earning a laugh from those nearby. Both he and Jules hugged Andrew, Dr. Manx, and Finley, happy to see all of them.

"Hey, its only been a few days but I'm already hating retirement." Nolan stated as he and Jenn walked up not long after Joey's comment. "Being a ranger was a major bucket list. I don't wanna give it up if I don't have to." Nolan said as he exchanged hand shakes with Andrew Hartford, Finley, and a hug to Dr. Manx before looking at Jules and Joey and then looked at Joey's rear end. "Hmm. I thought she would have chewed it all off by now." Nolan said jokingly.

Jennifer thanked Andrew for having them there and hugged Finley and Dr. Manx. She heard what Nolan said as she hugged Jules. She smacked him gently on the arm. "Honey stop that." She hugged Joey and then put her arm through Nolan's. "Sorry about that. I'm still training him to think before he speaks."

"No harm done." Joey laughed. "You've got your work cut out for you, Jenn."
"And if you must know, I didn't give him too much of a hard time. I said my peace at Delta Command." Jules explained, addressing Nolan. "So what's next for you two?" She asked the younger couple.

"Oooo..."
"You have to stay in, remember? I'll let you out when I say so."
"Aye."
In the days that followed, everything went a blur for Daniel. He submitted his resignation papers to his agency so he could start his next phase of his life. Not surprisingly, Dotto chose to stick by him as he quit as well. Following the Grand Battle and the memorial, the Silver Ranger took the time to reflect on everything that happened those past years while taking the time to finalize his plans with his confidant's help. Eventually they have it prepared.
Currently, Daniel's at the Hartford Residence with his sling backpack, which had Dotto inside. He hadn't had a chance to catch up with everyone else since he was busy at the time. But by the time he saw them, he immediately walked next to them, just in time to listen to Juliet's question to Nolan and Jennifer.

"Well before all this started I was going to college to become a teacher like my mother," Jennifer said. "I've decided to go back and finish my degree." She sighed. "I had a couple of scholarships to cover tuition but I'm pretty sure that their all expired by now. I'm going to have to reapply for them and get a job in the meantime."

"Well like it or not, you're famous now." Jules chuckled. "The world knows you and the rest of your team as the five who led the charge to save the universe. Between the interviews and any other opportunities that may pop up, securing money shouldn't be a problem."
As Jules said, the fallout from the Grand Battle was massive. Thankfully, the Rangers who had secret identities got to keep them but for those who had public identities, their profiles were massively raised as every news outlet, blog, and social media personality wanted the big scoop on the largest battle this universe has ever seen.

"Oh god I didn't think of that," Jennifer said. "I mean I'll be glad if it help me go to school but it's going to be a pain in the ass otherwise."

"It probably will but if you can put up with this one for a year, then you can accomplish anything." Jules smiled while not so subtly taking a playful dig at her boyfriend.
"Oh so you have jokes?! I'll remember that." Joey quickly tickled Jules' side, earning a light tap on the chest and a look that's normally spelled good times over the years.
"So what about you Nolan? What are your plans now that this is all over?" Dr. Manx repeated the question, steering the topic of conversation back on track.
