Derek laid back in his chair, thankful to have Boss who had his back and in this moment was thankful that Boss knew his identity which made this conversation much easier. "One last thing...." Derek spoke to his team, sitting up in his chair. "Time to deal with Narda and get her the hell out of my building and out of our lives for good."
"Yeah, that's something that we should do next," Tyler spoke up.
"And how are you going to plan on doing that? The last thing you want to deal with is your place being destroyed," Hiro spoke to the Red Ranger.
"Derek is not like that," Andros spoke to Hiro. "Sure she is the remaining Space Pirate here, but I think there's more to it than inflicting more damage."
"Andros is right," TJ spoke. "He's emotionally worn out from losing Jax and Divatox... which I really can't believe."

Amara sighed as she walked into the house. She dropped her morph finally, looking around. "Mom?" she asked. The sound of breaking glass caught her ear, and she jumped, turning to face the kitchen.
"Amara! What the fuck are wearing?" her mother asked. "Where is Jackson? What the hell is going on out there?"
Amara took a breath, walking over and taking her mother's hands. "Mom, for the last year and a bit, I've been a Power Ranger. Tasked with saving the world. Jax too. We've been...we've been fighting all year, and....we won today. It's all over," she said. "But, Mama....Jax, he um...he--"
"Amara, no. Don't say that. Don't you fucking finish that sentence..."
Amara nodded softly, catching her mother as she collapsed. "I was with him at the last minute, mama. He was happy. He went out fighting, like he wanted to for so many years," she said softly. "Our powers, they uh...they put him in his dress uniform, a casket, everything. He's at Dream Chasers, and Derek said we can meet there. Ok?"
Her mother nodded, sniffling as tears fell down her cheeks. "Ok...ok..."
Fifteen minutes later, Amara walked with her mom side of Dream Chasers, heading straight to the elevator and up to Derek's floor. She walked off and led her toward Derek's office. She stopped when she saw Boss walking out of the office, and she bit her lip. "Boss...is...is everyone inside already?" the Pink Ranger asked.

"Thanks guys." Derek said, grateful to the Space Rangers for speaking on his behalf. "Bottom line Hiro, she's not welcome here. I didn't give consent to her being here and every moment she's here, she's a danger to all of my people in this building. If that means she gets locked up on KO-35 next to Ecliptor or we put her in the ground next to her pirate friends... I could care less either way at this point." Derek spoke firmly.
"Either way, she needs to leave and she needs to leave now."

She stopped when she saw Boss walking out of the office, and she bit her lip. "Boss...is...is everyone inside already?" the Pink Ranger asked.
As promised, Boss was vigilant in making sure that nobody disturbed Derek or any of his friends. She saw Amara walk towards the door and with everything she heard a few minutes prior, her bullish behavior towards the Pink Ranger was instantly pushed to the side.
"Yeah, everyone's in there." Before Amara could go in, she grabbed Amara by the arm and after a moment of silence, the CEO's right hand began to speak. "I'm so sorry...." She said, shifting her gaze between Amara and her mother. "Jax was a great man. I was never a big fan of DC's choice to do what he does but I felt better about it knowing that your brother was out there having his back." With those words, Boss stepped to the side, allowing the mother/daughter pair to go into Derek's office.

"Either way, she needs to leave and she needs to leave now."
"I understand clearly. The battle has been very brutal and it took the wind out of all of us," Hiro spoke to Derek.
Leo sighed, "That reminds me, Karone. What happened to that other Pirate?" he asked and Karone looked at Leo and sighed.
"He's in Zhane's ship and he badly injured. I had to put him in cryogenic sleep to save him from dying to his wounds. My best bet is to take him to KO-35 to be treated, that means that he will be staying there for a while, to keep him away from Earth," Karone spoke to Leo.
"What? Crow is still alive?" Mackenzie asked and Karone nodded.
"He is and I have gotten some information about him, he's come from a rough past and such but that doesn't excuse him from the things he had done. Like Ecliptor, he has to take responsibility for his crimes. Same thing for Narda which I also found information about her."
Tyler turned around to see Amara and her mother entering the office, "Amara...," he spoke with a sad smile.

She bit her lip and knocked on the door, opening it and peeking her head around. "Guys?" She walked in, her mom behind her. "Oh, wow. Full house..." She sighed softly. "Everyone, this is Anastasia Ratcliffe. Mama, this is Derek Chase, Tyler Leighton, Mackenzie Stewart, Astraios, Jasper, Kunzite, Andros, Ashley, Carlos, Cassie, TJ, Leo, Maya, Karone, Kai, Damon, Hiro, Jason, and Aisha." Anastasia waved softly, seeing everyone. "It's...it's nice to meet all of you. I, um..I'm going to assume that you're all Power Rangers as well?"

"Most of us are, ma'am," Tyler spoke respectfully with a smile.
"Aisha and I are former Power Rangers but we helped them when they needed it," Jason spoke to Anastasia.

"Oh shit." In that moment, Derek forgot about Narda for an instant as he shot up out of his chair, wincing due to the ill advised quick movements. He walked over to Amara's mother.
"Yes and it's good to finally meet you, ma'am." Derek spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice. "Although I envisioned our first meeting would involve spicy dishes and lots of chocolate."

Anastasia looked at her daughter and cocked an eyebrow. "Amara Parvati Ratcliffe. What have you been telling this boy?" she asked.
"Only that you make some of the best spicy food I have ever had, including your ghost pepper salsa, triple alarm chili, and the chocolate cake shake is the best damn dessert ever," Amara said with a smile. "Mama, I promise you, I have said nothing bad about you at all and that it's been all good things. Honest to goodness, cross my heart and promise on Jax's truck."
Anastasia smiled softly, kissing her daughter's head. "Good," she said. "Mr. Chase, I can promise you, my food's spice levels are infamous. I hope you have an iron stomach and a healthy appetite for ice cream."
"He does," Amara laughed. "And Mama, it's just Derek or DC. Mr. Chase is his father." She looked at the Red Ranger and stuck her tongue out, having stolen his line.

"I really wish we could see our mom," Leo spoke with a smile and Mike nodded. "Yeah, it kinda makes me miss her cooking as well," he added.
Kendrix and Maya laughed, "Oh, wow," they both said while Damon and Kai laughed.
Andros and Karone just smiled with Carlos and TJ snickered.
"You better hope you add some milk to that," Ashley spoke up and Cassie nodded.
"That kinda spicy food can be pretty strong."
Tyler shook his head, "Don't even get me started," the Yellow Ranger spoke in a mutter while smiling.

"Yeah...." Derek chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his head as Amara stole his normal line. His tone then grew more serious as reality was setting in once again. "Ms. Ratcliffe..." His voice trailed off just slightly. "I want you to know that I made your son some promises today and you should know that if there are any expenses that you need taken care of, please give me a call."

Anastasia nodded, smiling softly and putting her hand on Derek's cheek softly. "Derek, my son spoke highly of you. He said you gave him a chance when nobody else would. You were a brother to him, and you've given Amara a new place to call home for work. You have already done above and beyond enough for my family," she said. "I know that Jax had a funeral plan through the Air Force, and his burial will be taken care of. All I ask is that his found family is there with me at graveside." She watched her daughter step away and over to the Red Ranger, and she smiled softly before it turned into a deadly smirk. "Though if you hurt my daughter, Jax's spirit will not be able to get to you before I do. Understand?"
"Mama!" Amara said as her jaw dropped, shaking her head. "Jesus CHrist...and you wonder why I don't tell you anything."

"Yes, Ma'am." Derek chuckled, seeing the exchange between the two Ratcliffe ladies. "Your daughter is in good hands." Derek smiled. Even though he had enough power to level his city, nothing was scarier than a mom protecting her child.

"Mrs. Ratcliffe, Jax was a very tough fighter and we promise that we keep his spirit alive. As well as another friend we had lost as well," Tyler spoke to Anastasia.
"That's right, we want to make sure we give him the proper goodbye he deserves," Mackenzie spoke.

Anastasia smiled softly, looking at the Rangers. "Thank you. All of you," she said. "He was lucky to have good friends like all of you. And please, just call me Ana."
Amara nodded, looking at Derek. "So, back to business. What's left to clean up? Narda die of her wounds or do we get to shove her out of a really high window and splat her ass?"

"Wow, sadistic much?" Leo spoke jokingly to Amara only to have Andros nudge him.
"Anything to get her out of our planet. Or Derek here has another plan," Carlos spoke.
