A/N: Hello everyone! Welcome to the new fanfic! I hope you've read the preview at the end of Marry Me. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that for right now, this will be rated T but will have a high probability of becoming M (because I'm a perv lol). Also, this story will switch back and forth between Kimberly's and Tommy's POVs. It should say at the top of the chapter title who is speaking but if you get confused, don't hesitate to ask. I got the idea of this FF at the Rhode Island Comic-Con after meeting Jason David Frank. (Check out my avatar for our awesome picture together!) As always, I hope you enjoy and remember to R&R!
I do not own the rights of Power Rangers nor the song, Head Above Water.
Head Above Water
A Power Ranger Fanfic
Darkness shrouded the room, a single candle perched on a stand casting harsh shadows in its wake. With each flicker, the shadows would dance, moving gracefully like dancers in the moonlight. The glow of the fire was bright in contrast to the inky darkness around it. It was like a beacon of hope on the darken seas, guiding ships to safety. The little flame of the candle striving to do its best to pierce through the black.
In the darkness, a figure stepped forward. Wearing a robe of black fabric, the cloaked figure stood in front of the flame. Their eyes followed the movement of the candle, its glow reflected from their orbs. A soft purr emitted from their lips as a smile spread widely. How foolish, the creature thought. There was so much power left in the life of the flame. It refused to give up as long as it had the fuel and the oxygen to let it burn.
Turning from the candle, the figure pulled a staff from inside of the robe. Stabbing it down, the echo of its contact on the cement below surrounded the area. More soft glows began to fill the room as circular globes began to brighten. Soon, the room was filled with enough light to illuminate everything.
"It's been far too long it seems." The figure purred, taking in the room. Dust, cob webs and insect shells littered the area, signs that life had not be present in many years. There was no noise around except for that of the figure as they purred. Taking the staff, they waved it quickly and the proof of lifeless existence vanished. The throne that stood in the middle of the room, stone that was crumbling, still remained crumbling though.
"This will have to do until my powers are completely restored." They murmured. Turning, they focused their attention on a wide archway. Long curtains hung from it, their deep red color contrasting against the dark colors of the stone floor. Grabbing the curtain, they opened it. A balcony was revealed, a large area wide enough from them to walk out without issue. There was also a stone railing that protected whoever stood here from a deadly fall. Stepping out, the figure walked over to the edge and leaned against the railing. Glancing up, the creature took in the sight of planet Earth. It seemed to glow blue, the water reflecting the pale color as white clouds moved across the surface of it.
Home of the human race and many other creatures that have evolved over the centuries, Earth was well known in the galaxy for being the most sought-after planet this side of the Milky Way. For centuries, various species have tried to conquer its grounds and take over those who inhabit the orb. None have prevailed though. This was in thanks to a powerful group of warriors, known as the Power Rangers. The Power Rangers were an elite fighting force that were created by the legendary interdimensional being known as Zordon. With the aid of his trusted assistant, Alpha 5, the noble master sought out six extraordinary teenagers and gave them the power to transform into an unstoppable fighting force. In time of great need, the young heroes could now call upon colossal assault vehicles known as "Zords". While the identity of the six remained a guarded secret, their courageous exploits soon became the stuff of legend. Power Rangers have protected the Earth for years now, keeping at bay the evil forces that have tried to take that away from them. Teams have come and gone, leaving new rangers to care on the legacy to protect the world from evil.
"Well, Rangers." The figure said. "Let's see if time has been as good to you as it has for me."
