Battle For Greyskull Epilogue – Carl Turner Fanfiction

EPILOGUE: TIME TO CELEBRATE

The Royal Palace was in a celebratory mood as the Royal Family, the Masters, the Rebellion, the JLA, the Rangers, and the ThunderCats were gathered for a festive feast. During the festivities, Tommy and Kimberly walked to the garden, where Tommy turned and started "Kim-"

"Hold on. If you are gonna do this, you gotta do it right." Kim giggled.

Tommy then got down on his knees. "Kim- I know we...ve already gone through this before-but after our last couple of adventures-I realized more than ever-I love you and you are the most important part of my life. Would you do me the honor of-"

That was as far as Tommy had gotten. Kim said yes and kissed him right there.

Meanwhile, Eve Torres & Wonder Woman were talking. "Diana, do you sometimes freak out when Zack goes off on a Ranger mission without you or the other Leaguers?"

"Worried about Keith? I know the feeling. Eve, we both do the same thing, but we are always going to be worried for them. And think about what they go through when we have an adventure without them." Diana grinned as she talked to the Diamond Power Angel. "We just have to trust that they...ll be fine-as they do about us-and love them dearly."

Eve grinned. "Keith is just so amazing. I can...t stand the thought of losing him."

"I feel the same way about Zack. But, I know he feels the same way about me-and I wondered how my mother would like him. She does-and she is not the easiest person in the world to earn her trust. Meanwhile-you may have to help Kelly-she and Batman?"

"Yeah, I know. And I thought I...ve seen and heard it all! Still, if anyone can win Batman...s heart, it...s Kelly. Come on, let...s get back. I want to try that dessert Trini and Billy were sharing." Eve smiled.

The Feast was a huge success. Afterwards, Man-E-Faces performed a play and soon, it would be time for the main attraction.

The Partridges and Hyde were gathered on stage with their instruments. Kris was filling in for Shirley. Finally, Keith said, "These last few days here on Eternia and Etheria have been amazing. These have been some of the best days of our lives and we will always treasure them. We...ll all be going home soon, but before we do, at the request of Queen Marlena, we...ve been ask to give you a taste of Earth music. So, we hope you enjoy our little show." He then launched into a song.

I would walk ten miles on my hands and kneesAin’t no doubt about it, baby, it’s you I aim to pleaseI’d wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bearIt’s my life, baby, but I don’t careAin’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?For you, baby, I would swim the seaNothing I’d do for you that’s too tuff for meI’d put out a burning building with a shovel and dirtAnd not even worry about getting hurtAin’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Would work twenty-four hours, seven days a weekJust so I could come home and kiss your cheekI love you in the morning and I love you at noonI love you in the night and take you to the moonAin’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?I’d lay in a pile of burning money that I’ve earnedAnd not even worry about getting burnedI’d climb the Empire State, fight Muhammad AliJust to have you, baby, close to me

Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?

Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?Ain’t that tuff enuff?

After a round of applause, Keith smiled and said, "Thank you, and now our our good friend-Wonder Woman!" Diana took the mic and spoke "This is a song from a good friend of mine: Donna Summer!" She then started-

On a fairy tale high

Don’t you believe that your dreams all come true

The fairy tale world inside can bring it to you

You just have to wish, and you’ll take off and fly

On a fairy tale high, fairy tale high

Fairy tale high, fairy tale high

On a fairy tale high

When you were young, you were full of those dreams

Then you grew older they all faded it seems

But all of that glitter can turn into gold

On a fairy tale high, fairy tale high

Fairy tale high, fairy tale high

Fairy tale high, fairy tale high, fairy tale high

On a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher

Just look around you, the dark clouds are far

Stand on your tiptoes, and reach for a star

As stardust comes sprinkling, it will brighten your eyes

On a fairy tale high, fairy tale high

Fairy tale high, fairy tale high

Fairy tale high, fairy tale high, fairy tale high

Smiling at Zack, and looking at him for this song, Wonder Woman started-

Once Upon A Time there was a girl

She lived in the land of never never where everything real is unreal

And only fairy tales are true something like me and you

But she believe in what she dreamed in could be real

So she strived on to make it come true

Fighting odds not knowing what would come of her

Never giving up the hope within her

She carried on and on because she believed

That once in a time in her lifetime the things so unreal could be real

And in the morning when she awoke to find herself surrounded by the same old room-she was disappointed

So she dreamed and she dreamed

And she dreamed and she dreamed and she dreamed

And she said that fairy tales do come true because I believe

I believe

She kept trying and she kept right on fighting

Until one day she met a man

Who held her tight

And she fell in love

Once upon a time, in the land of never never, where all things real is unreal

There lived a girl

Who believed all things could be possible

And one day she did awake

And found herself somewhere else

Beside her a brand new face

Of someone that she loved

Zack walked up to Diana, cupped her face in his hands and gently kissed her, which met thunderous applause. Keith grinned, looked at the audience, and nodded at the band before beginning another song.

On a long and lonesome highway East of Omaha You can listen to the engine Moanin‘ out his one-note song You can think about the woman Or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wandering The way they always do When you’re ridin‘ sixteen hours And there’s nothin‘ much to do And you don’t feel much like ridin‘, You just wish the trip was through Say, here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin‘ the star again There I go Turn the page Well, you walk into a restaurantStrung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you As you’re shakin‘ off the cold You pretend it doesn’t bother you But you just want to explode Most times you can’t hear ‘em talkOther times you can All the same old cliches“Is that a woman or a man?” And you always seem outnumberedYou don’t dare make a stand Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin‘ the star again There I go Turn the page Out there in the spotlight You’re a million miles away Every ounce of energy You try to give away As the sweat pours out your body Like the music that you play Later in the evening As you lie awake in bed With the echoes from the amplifiers Ringin‘ in your head You smoke the day’s last cigaretteRememberin‘ what she said Ah, here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin‘ the star again There I go Turn the page Ah, here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin‘ the star again There I go There I go

After another round of applause, Hyde took over.

It...s all the sameOnly the names will changeEveryday, it seems we...re wasting away

Another placeWhere the faces are so coldI drive all night, just to get back home

I...m a cowboyOn a steel horse I rideI...m wantedDead or alive

WantedDead or alive

Sometimes I sleepSometimes it...s not for daysThe people I meetAlways go their separate ways

Sometimes you tell the dayBy the bottle that you drinkAnd times when you...re aloneAll you do is think

I...m a cowboyOn a steel horse I rideI...m wanted (Wanted)Dead or alive

Wanted (Wanted!)Dead or alive

Oh, alright!

I...m a cowboyOn a steel horse I rideI...m wanted (Wanted!)Dead or alive

I walk these streetsA loaded six-string on my backI play for keepsCause I might not make it back

I...ve been everywhereAnd still I...m standing tallI...ve seen a million facesAnd I...ve rocked them all

Cause I...m a cowboyOn a steel horse I rideI...m wanted (Wanted)Dead or alive

Cause I...m a cowboyI...ve got the night on my sideAnd I...m wanted (Wanted)Dead or alive

(Dead or aliveDead or alive)

Dead or alive

I still try (I still try)

Dead or aliveDead or aliveDead or aliveDead or aliveDead or alive

As everyone applauded, Hyde simply nodded before beginning his next song.

We both lie silently stillIn the dead of the nightAlthough we both lie close togetherWe feel miles apart insideWas it something I said or something I did?Did my words not come out right?Though I tried not to hurt youThough I triedBut I guess that’s why they say-Every rose has its thornJust like every night has its dawnJust like every cowboy sings his sad, sad songEvery rose has its thornYeah it doesI listen to our favorite songPlaying on the radioHear the DJ say Love...s a game of easy come and easy goBut I wonder, does he know?Has he ever felt like this?And I know you’d be here right nowIf I could have let you know somehowI guess-Every rose has its thornJust like every night has its dawnJust like every cowboy sings his sad, sad songEvery rose has its thornThough it’s been a while nowI can still feel so much painLike a knife that cuts you, the wound healsBut the scar, that scar remainsI know I could have saved our love that nightIf I’d known what to sayInstead of makin‘ loveWe both made our separate waysBut now I hear you found somebody newAnd that I never meant that much to youTo hear that tears me up insideAnd to see you cuts me like a knifeI guess-

Every rose has its thornJust like every night has its dawnJust like every cowboy sings his sad, sad songEvery rose has its thorn

Hyde smiled and nodded to another round of applause as Laurie took over. She smiled and said, "This song goes out to every bad date I...ve ever had."

As everyone applauded, Kris smiled as she took over.

Three o’clock in the mornin‘And it looks like it’s gonna beAnother sleepless nightI’ve been listenin‘ to your dreamsAnd gettin‘ very lowWond’rin‘ what I can doMaybe I’m bein‘ foolish‘Cause I haven’t heard you mentionAnybody’s name at allHow I wish I could be sureIt’s me that turns you onEach time you close your eyesI’ve heard it said that dreamers never lieYou’ve been talkin‘ in your sleepSleepin‘ in your dreamsWith some sweet loverHoldin‘ on so tightLovin‘ her the wayYou used to love meTalkin‘ in your sleepWith lovin‘ on your mind

You...ve been talkin... in your sleep

Once the applause died down, Kris said, "Joining us for this song, our own Pink Ranger, Kimberly Hart."

Kim smiled as she took the stage. She smiled mischievously as she said, "This one goes out to Tommy, who, for those that don...t know, is my fiance."

Mind if I sit down?Can I buy you a round?Haven’t seen your face beforeAre you new in town?It’s the same old lineOh, every timeAre you here alone?Can I take you home? Now every woman seesWith every “pretty please”There’s a pair of lyin‘ eyesAnd a set of keysHe says come be a starIn the back seat of my carOh, but, baby, slow downYou’re goin‘ way too far Let me make it clearTo you, my dear If you’re not In it for loveIf you’re notWillin‘ to give it all you gotIf you’re not in it for lifeIf you’re not in it for loveLet me make it clearTo you, my dearIf you’re not in it for loveI’m outta here! Babe, I can change your worldMake you a cover girlYeah, you could be a beauty queenIn a magazineNow tell me, what’s your sign?Why always the same old line?I’ll be number 409If you change your mind Let me make it clearTo you, my dear If you’re not In it for love If you’re notWillin‘ to give it all you gotIf you’re not in it for lifeIf you’re not in it for loveLet me make it clearTo you, my dearIf you’re not in it for love-

Oh! If you...re not in it for lifeIf you...re not in it for loveIf you...re not in it for lifeIf you...re not in it for love

Hoo!

I...m outta here!

Applause rang through again, none louder than Tommy as Kimberly stepped off the stage. Zack & Diana joined everyone on stage as they did their own version of Donna Summer...s "I Love You...-

Zack: Well he searched and searched for nights and daystill he found the one he lovedand he wrapped her in his arms againand then he thanked the stars abovethat he found what he’d been looking forand he stared her in the eyesHe said “I love you”he said “I love you”love you, love youDiana: She stared him right back in the eyeswith a look of disbeliefthen she gazed off into somewhere elsewas it real or just a dream?and she pulled him, oh so close to herand she whispered in his earShe said “I love you”she said “I love you too”love you, love you, love youZack & Diana: So together they will always beuntil the stars fall from the skyThey said “I love you”

yes, I really dothey said “I love you”yes, I doI do, I do, I do, I doSo together they will always beuntil the stars fall from the skyso if you find someone you love a lotyou must never let them goyou just hold them tight with all your mightand you say three little wordsYou say “I love you”you say “I love you”you say “I love you”you say “I love you”

Finally, Keith took the lead again. "You...ve all been great. We really appreciate that you seem to enjoy our music. Now, to close out, we...re going to be performing a new song I wrote recently. This is the first time we...ve performed it for-well, anyone. We just never imagined it would be on another planet." Everyone couldn...t help but chuckle at this. Smiling, Keith continued, "Anyway, this goes out to my girlfriend Eve. It...s called "'Tempted,... I hope you like it." Eve smiled as Keith and the others began playing.

There...s a girl trying to steal my heartAnd I...m temptedEven though she could tear it apartI...m tempted

In her eyes, there...s mysteryEvery time she smiles at meI know how it could beAnd I...m tempted

Each time she looks my wayI...m temptedJust a little more every dayI...m tempted

It...s so hard to resistThe thought of her sweet kissCan...t take much more of thisI...m tempted

Tempted and triedDeep down insideI can...t deny itI...m tempted

Ever since she caught my eyeI...m temptedJust one look, and you...ll know whyI...m tempted

So, if I...m burned by the flameThere...s no one but me to blameCause every time she calls my nameI...m tempted

Tempted and triedDeep down insideI can...t deny itI...m tempted

I...m tempted

When the song was over, Eve got up on the stage and kissed Keith, which he happily returned. The Partridges, Kris, and Hyde lined up on the stage and bowed as they were given one final round of applause. Amongst those clapping included King Randor and Queen Marlena as they stood up from their thrones.

As sunset approached, the JLA, the Rangers, the ThunderCats, Zatanna, Dr. Fate, and the Mystic Force Rangers were preparing to board the Javelin. Superman shook hands with King Randor and Prince Adam, saying, "We...re truly happy to see that peace has finally come to your world. We hope someday, Earth can enjoy that same peace."

Holding hands with Kimberly, Tommy asked, "So, Adam, now that you and Teela are officially an item, what are your plans?"

Smiling, Adam answered, "It...s been a long time coming, but I...m never been happier. As for our plans, we are to be married on my twenty-first birthday. That...s in about three months."

Kimberly smiled and said, "Congratulations, you two. Tommy and I are getting married about a month before you do."

"We...re happy to hear it," said Teela with a smile. "We wish you all the best."

"What about you and Sea Hawk, Adora?" asked Jason.

"We...ll be getting married the same day as Adam and Teela," answered the Princess with a smile.

Sabrina smiled and said, "Well, I guess this is good-bye."

Everyone shook hands with the Royal Family, Teela, and Sea Hawk, including Batman. When they were finished, Randor said, "Good journey, all of you."

"Good journey?" asked Kelly in confusion.

Marlena blushed and said, "Oh, that...s right. You...ve never heard that before. It...s an old Eternian saying."

Adam smiled and continued, "Live the journey. For every destination is but a doorway to another. Good journey."

Superman smiled and said, "Good journey." Nothing more was said as Earth...s heroes finally boarded the Javelin and headed home. The Royal Family, Teela, and Sea Hawk waved as they watched them leave.
