"What about Mackenzi? What will happen to her once you're gone? It's too bad you're already dying…..I quite liked you Ellie." Rita Repulsa said to the young adult laying at her feet. "You just had to get involved, didn't you? I'll be sure to give your daughter your regards." She said with a smirk.

"D-don't touch her." Ellie Oliver said, getting to her feet in pain. "I won't let you." Ellie said to the witch.

"You think you can stop me? HA!" Rita yelled. The witch pulled out a long scepter with a sharp tip. "You just try."

Ellie grit her teeth and pulled out her cell-phone. "It's morphin' time!" She muttered under her breath. "Spinosaurus!" With that, she morphed into her Purple Ranger attire. Two twin swords adorned her hands. "You have no idea what I'm capable of!"

"And you have no idea what I'm capable of!" Rita screeched. The two ran at each other, swords slashing wildly.

"Stay away from my family!" Ellie screamed back at her, slashing at her chest. Rita fell backwards and spun around. Ellie went flying backwards to the ground.

She got to her feet and ran at Rita, doing a spin-jump in midair before kicking the scepter away from her. "Can you feel the poison? Coursing through your veins, destroying every power cell in your morpher?" Rita hissed as she grabbed the Purple Ranger's neck and squoze it hard.

Ellie was lifted off of the ground. She clawed at the air, desperate to be let go. It had been a few years since she had retired and she was rusty. Finally, she kicked Rita in the chest and was released. Ellie tumbled to the ground and rolled away from her.

"HEY!" Ellie heard someone yell. Her friends came running up to her. Her husband reached her and helped her up. "Are you okay?" He asked desperately. Ellie nodded numbly in response.

"What are you doing here? You don't even have your powers anymore!" Ellie scolded her six friends.

"Like that's ever stopped us." Jason muttered, standing defensively in front of his team.

"She's after Kenzi." Ellie said to her husband Tommy. His eyes narrowed and he got a dark look on his face.

"She can't have her." Tommy said.

Rita smirked. "Aww the team's back together! How cute!" She screeched. "Now you can die together!" She threw her sword at them and Ellie deflected it.

"The only one who's going to die today will be you Rita!" Ellie yelled back at her. And with that, all of them ran into battle, her friends facing off with Rita's monsters and her fighting Rita.

For a while, it seemed that the veteran rangers had the upper hand. And then the putties came in greater numbers. Ellie was forced back to back with her friends. She was getting weaker by the minute. "Hey Tommy?" She asked, out of breath.

"Yeah honey?" He asked in a tense voice, also out of breath.

"I love you." She said, staring down Rita. Then she ran straight at Rita, sword swinging hard. Tommy didn't notice as another creature attacked him. Ellie slashed down at Rita as the latter thrust her sword upwards.

"I love you t-" Tommy said, turning to find an empty spot beside him. Suddenly, there was a sickening scream from Kimberly. She pointed in horror at Rita and Ellie, who were completely still. Ellie had her sword a few feet away from Rita, while Rita had embedded her sword in Ellie's stomach. There was a burst of light and Ellie demorphed. Ellie looked over at Tommy and fell to her knees.

Rita cackled madly. "She's dead! Even if you manage to save her, the poison will take her soon!" Before the other rangers could retaliate, Rita had disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"NO!" Tommy screamed, sprinting over to his wife's side. Ellie was breathing shallowly on the ground, demorphed. Crimson was soaking her white shirt and purple jacket. "No, no, no!" He whispered as he held her closely.

"T-T-Tommy….take care of…..Kenzi. Promise….me?" She asked in a weak voice.

"You're gonna do it, because you're gonna be fine! We can heal you, with our morphers!" Tommy insisted.

"You can't…..I-I don't feel any….pain…." Ellie trailed off, looking at her husband. Her deep blue eyes stared into his brown ones. An understanding passed between the two of them.

"Please….please don't go. Kenzi needs you! I….I need you Ells. Please!" He sobbed. Their friends knelt next to them, tears clouding their eyes as well.

"I know…..and I'm sorry." Ellie choked. "P-please be happy….I….I love you….T-Tommy Oliver…." Ellie said, blood beginning to come up through her mouth.

"Ellison Martin Oliver….I love you." He whispered, tears dripping down onto her face. He pressed a kiss on her forehead. Her eyes glazed over and her chest went still. "No!" He choked.

For the next hour, he rocked his wife back and forth, muttering under his breath. Jason finally had to pry him away as the authorities showed up. The five friends took him home to his daughter, where he sat on the couch, not moving and not acknowledging his four year old. Kimberly was hugging him tightly, doing her best to comfort him.

"Daddy, where's Mama?" Kenzi asked, coming up to him. He choked back a sob and Jason noticed this.

"Kenzi, can you come here?" Jason asked from the other side of the room. Kenzi nodded with a bright smile and ran over to her Uncle Jason.

"Do you know where Mama is?" Kenzi asked in an innocent voice.

Jason knelt down next to her, putting his hands on her shoulders. "Mackenzi," He said seriously. "Your mom…..she was in an accident. She's not coming home."

"Can I go see her?" Kenzi asked, confused.

Jason blinked back tears. "Honey, do you know what an angel is?"

Kenzi nodded enthusiastically. "Mommy said that Granpa and Gramma are angels. Is mommy an angel too?" she asked.

"Yes. But-"

Kenzi looked over at her dad, tears filling her Kaleidoscope eyes. She ran over to her dad before Jason could continue. She flung her arms around his neck, finally getting him out of his stupor. "Uncle Jase said that momma is an angel! Do you think she's watching over us?" She asked, tears dripping down her face.

Tommy looked at his daughter. "Of course she is. Mom loves you. Daddy does too, he's just sad." He explained.

"I want you to be happy daddy….." Kenzi whispered, looking up at her dad. "Does Kim make you happy?"

"Yeah, she does. But...that doesn't change anything. She's not your mom….but she can be like your mom, right?" Tommy asked his six year old.

Kenzi nodded enthusiastically. "Marry Kimmy. I like her."

"Good." Tommy said, breathing a sigh of relief.

Kenzi thought for a moment. "Mommy says she's okay with it."

Tommy nearly fell out of his seat. "Wh-what?! When did-what?" He asked in shock. He had never heard his daughter talk like that.

"Mommy would want you to be happy. So she told me that she's okay with it." Kenzi said, looking at Kim. "Mommy misses you both."

Kimberly Ann Hart and Thomas Oliver exchanged looks. They knew what a special kid Kenzi was. She was so mature for her age. On the 13th of December, Kimberly Ann Hart became Mrs. Oliver. In no way was she trying to replace Ellie, but she wanted to be there for Kenzi. As Kenzi got older, it became clear she wanted nothing to do with her dad. Nothing to do with his martial arts or training.

After all, her childhood was changed since the moment her mother had died. However, all of the training was grooming her for something more. Something important. Mackenzi Ellison Oliver was going to be a force to be reckoned with when she grew older. And neither Kimberly or Tommy was prepared for that day.
