Author's note: This is a story I am co-writing with pinkrangersforever. It is about Kimberly's life as a Power Ranger with some differences. Enjoy.
A New Evil Afoot
Kimberly is fast asleep in the early morning hours. The sun had barely risen above the horizon, struggling to climb it as were it tired itself. A beam of sunlight shone right through Kimberly's window and caresses her face, bringing her to the edge of consciousness. She turns around, agitated by the sunlight that has hit her eyes. Just as she is drifting off again, her alarm clock goes off. She tries to block is out by hiding under her pillow, but no such luck – the alarm keeps ringing.
Agitated, Kim bashes the alarm clock down on the floor with the swing of an arm. As the clock rings for the last time, Kim is finally able to get some sleep again, had her father not been standing next to the bed. He touches her shoulder gently, calling out her nickname. Kim sits up slowly, rubbing her eyes like a child.
She struggles out of bed and changes from her pajamas to work outfit consisting of a tank top and shorts. She wobbles as she made her way downstairs; passing a kitchen and a family room then enters through a door that leads to the basement. Only this basement was filled with weight equipment in one area, mats along the floor for sparing, and high tech equipment in another.
"Morning daddy," Kim says sleepily to the man of six feet tall, with brown hair, and dressed in a brown t-shirt and shorts.
"Shall we begin?" the man asks the woman in front of him.
Kim positions herself into a fighting stance as her father comes up to her with a high kick as the girl eludes the attack. She then flips over him then tries to side kick which the man easily evades followed by the man proceeds with faster punches that would be impossible for the normal human. The girl quickly goes on the defensive almost matching the speed he was pacing at. She loses focus for a moment as the man lands a kick knocking her off balance onto the floor.
"Not bad Kim, but are trying too hard," her father says helping her up off the floor.
"But you're faster than me," Kim whines.
"You think my speed and physical strength has anything to do with it? Again," her father orders, sternly.
Kim jumps up trying to make a dent on her father. She proceeds with a side kick aiming for his stomach follows by a jump kick as he ducks under as her feet rise in the air. Kim jumps up kicking him multiple times aiming for the arms trying to disable his arm movement which he easily blocked with his hands.
"Let it come to you," her father instructs and he grabs her leg deflecting the process.
She stops for a moment and then proceeds to attack again only this time more focused. She jumps over him managing to knock him off with a kick to the stomach. She then stuck out her hand letting out some kind of energy sending him flying across the room. Kim quickly ran over to him.
"Sorry I guess I put a little more into it," She says as she sits next to him.
"No, instead of going for the direct approach you decided to go for something more productive," her father says as she tries to apologize again.
"Sometimes I wonder if I will ever live for some action," Kim complains, as her and her father sit side by side.
"Part of me prays that you don't but always need to be safe," her father articulates, he knows in the future though that she may get some action.
From an intercom in the room there as another female voice.
"Kim, honey, time to get ready for school," the voice announces. Kim gets into a crouch position and places her hand on her knee to push herself up. She walks over to the wall that has an intercom.
"Coming mom," Kim replies as she pushes the button on the intercom.
Both Kimberly and her father walk up the stairs that enters into the kitchen where an older woman, standing almost the same height as Kim but with red long hair pulled back into a bun, is at the stove making breakfast and a boy, younger looking than the young woman, now almost dripping with sweat, sat at the table with his pancakes floating in mid air.
Mom scolds the young boy, "Kyle, no playing with your food."
"Okay mommy," Kyle replies as the pancakes fall slowly back to his plate and proceeded to eat from his plate.
Kim sneaks behind him and tickles him causing him to laugh.
Mom questions her husband as he enters the room, "How was training this morning?"
"Kim managed to knock me off my feet," Kim's father replies as he strolls over to his wife.
Kim's mom laughs then questions him, "Losing your touch, Ben?"
Ben growls, "Susan."
Ben grabs her side turning her around and kissing her on the lips. Kim quickly covers Kyle's eyes as well as making a face herself.
Kim demands, "Could you two get a room? I'm going to take a shower."
As she strolls to the stairs, the woman hears a noise that sounds like a baby crying that is from a walkie.
Susan calls to her husband, "Honey could you go get little Ben."
"Sure sweetie," the voice returns.
Kim meanders up to the bathroom and jumps into the warm shower. It takes her around twenty minutes to get herself ready. When she gets back downstairs there was now a baby in the room as Susan spoons him with some sort of orange food in a jar.
"So Kim do you have any plans with your friends today," as she continues to feed the baby.
"Well I was hoping to go with them to the juice bar after school," looking nervously at her parents.
Susan smiles at her daughter, "I suppose that is alright, isn't it Ben."
"I still don't like the fact the there are more boys than girls in your group," he says in a stern tone.
"Daddy please, I have been friends with them since forever. Their like my brothers and sisters they won't let anything happen to me. Besides I can take care of myself," she says standing up straight.
"Fine, but don't stay too long."
"Thank you, thank you," she says as she kissed her father on the cheek.
"Kim you and Kyle get into the car," says Susan as she handed Ben the baby.
Ben turns towards his son, "Kyle, no using your powers at school."
"Yes sir!" Kyle says in a very happy tone.
"And that goes double for you," he says to his daughter.
"Don't worry daddy. Love you, bye," she says as she walks out the door with Kyle.
Ben looks over to Susan as she grabs her car keys.
"Don't look at me she gets it from your side of the family. I have to run some errant's after dropping them off so take care of little Ben while I am gone," she kisses her husband and goes out the door.
Ben looks over at the little one who has a big smile on his face, "Don't look at me, she's your mother."
After Susan leaves with the kids, there is an awful stench that filled the room. Ben Sr. looks around the room trying to determine where exactly the disgusting smell is. He picks up the baby and smells the diaper. Ben makes a face in disgust.
"Poopie," the young one says in a sorry tone. Ben Sr. then uses his powers to change the dirty diaper.
"Why can't they just do everything in the toilet like older people?" Ben Sr. thinks.
Meanwhile on the moon two astronauts are exploring on the moon's surface. As they stroll along they come across a very large container.
"What is that?"
"I don't know but it wouldn't hurt to take a look."
They both take the lid off with great difficulty causing it to fall right on the floor. A light emitted from the can causing the astronauts to fall to the ground. Then a large being in golden armor steps out of the pot caring an enormous sword. It turns its attention to the astronauts revealing a black face resembling a monkey.
"We thank you but your services are no longer required," he says in a deep voice.
Fire came out of his sword aiming straight for the two astronauts obliterating them from sight.
"Goldar, must you always be so offensive," says a smaller being in blue handy man clothes with its head resembling a goat.
Goldar quickly responds back, "Shut up you old goat. I deserve some action after being trapped for 10,000,000 years."
The goat then sighs, "Ah yes it is good to be out."
"I'll say, I hope the food is still good," says a small heavy set blue creature followed by a tall dark blue being that looked like it was wearing a costume.
"Squatt everything on your mind is food," says the tall one.
"Squatt, Baboo help me out of here you idiots," says an old woman wearing a sorcerer type outfit with a crackling voice.
"Sorry my queen, let me help you out of that," nervously responds the tall one calls Baboo.
He and Squatt help her out of the casket responds by a slash when her foot hit the ground.
"You nit-wits, you made me step in a puddle," she says in an angry tone with the two apologizing.
"What are your orders my queen?" says Goldar as he bows.
"After 10,000,000 years the first thing I want to do is conquer Earth," as she turns towards the planet letting out a crackling laugh.
Meanwhile at next to Angel Grove High School there was a small building called The Juice Bar where most of the students are walking into. Inside there are workout machines each with someone on them. In the center was a blue mat where kids are either boxing or doing martial arts. One of the groups sparring was a young African American wearing a black t-shirt and black pants with a white Latino wearing a red sleeves shirt wearing black pants. The Latino kid did a spinning jumps kick with the black kid ducking under trying to trip him with the Latino responding with a small jump to dodge it. The black kid then did a front kick with his right foot but the Latino caught his leg not letting go. The black kid then did a back flip.
"Nice recovery Zack," says the Latino as he slapped his hand.
"Thanks Jason. Thanks for teaching me," he says with a smile.
"No problem, man," Jason replies as they walk over to a table.
Towards the end, a young, Asian girl with long black hair wearing a short sleeve yellow shirt and pants to match is doing some type of martial arts meditation. Next to her is Kimberly wearing a pink top and tight blue pants was on a balance beam doing gymnastics routines. She walks with her back facing towards the other side. She does two backwards flips, then using the end as a base doing a back flip landing perfectly on the ground.
"Awesome Kimberly," the Asian girl says.
"Thanks Trini," Kimberly answers.
Where Jason and Zack are standing a young white kid wearing glasses and a white karate uniform comes up to them.
"What's up, Billy?" says Zack.
"Hey guys, guess I am ready for Jason's karate class."
Meanwhile a heavy set kid wearing a black leather jacket followed by a skinny kid wearing a light brown jacket approaches Kimberly and Trini.
"Oh, look who it is," says Trini in a sarcastic tone.
"Bulk and Skull," Kimberly responds in a disgusted tone.
"Hi girls, how about that double date we talked about," says the fat one.
"Yeah," says the skinny one followed by an annoying laugh.
"Sorry guys," says Trini.
The skinny one shrugs his shoulders and starts to walk off but is dragged back by the fat guy.
"What's the matter, not good enough for you," the fat one says in a more serious tone.
"Leave us alone Bulk," responds Trini.
"Oh yeah, make me," says Bulk pointing to himself.
"Yeah, make me," copies Skull.
Kimberly let out a small laugh as Zack comes up behind the two girls. Skull then points towards Bulk.
"Him, make him."
"Hey, you heard what she said," Zack says in a protective tone.
"Oh the little dancer wants to be a fighter," says a very cocky Bulk.
"Thanks Zack, but we can handle these two," Kimberly assures taking Zack's hand off her shoulder.
"Oh really, let's show them some karate moves Skull."
They charge towards Kimberly and Trini as Zack shimmied to the right out of the way. Both Kimberly and Trini steps out of the way grabbing their arm and tossing them over to the mat landing on opposite sides of the balance beam where they laid dazed.
"You guys should defiantly take Jason's karate class," Kimberly says with laugh followed by everyone else.
Bulk walks over to Jason's karate class after it has ended.
"You think you're so tough. I can do any move you can do," Bulk taunts Jason as Bulk shoves him. Jason regains his balance.
"Let's see if you can," Jason remarks with a smirk, "Tornado kick." Jason moves his legs in a circular motion in front of him and twists his body executing it perfectly and landing softly back on the ground.
"I can do that," Bulk says as he tries to move his large body in front of him. He falls flat on the ground, laughter echoing in his ears.
Kim and Trini stand leaning against the balance beam watching Bulk and Jason go at it. Skull walks up to Kim putting his arm around her.
Oh no, you don't buddy, Kim thinks. She quickly formulates a plan. She uses a mind trick and has Skull walk over to the mats and executes a perfect tornado kick.
Bulk's jaw drops at the sight and starts running towards Skull tackling him to the ground. Skull wrestles his way out of the hold that Bulk has him in and takes off running.
Bulk shouts at Skull, "You idiot I can't believe you did that in front of everyone!"
"Huh what did I do?" Skull yells back in between breaths.
"You made a foul out of me," Bulk says as he slows down because Skull is faster than him.
The juice bar is roaring at the two as they see Bulk and Skull run into the hallways.
"Guess Skull knows how to get wound out of Bulk," Kim remarks.
"He always does though, but his mocking is the worst," Trini agrees.
"Oh yeah those two are always going at it," Ernie remarks from behind his counter and walks over to the gang with their regular orders.
Suddenly the building begins to shake.
"Earthquake!" Ernie shouts, "Get to safety."
The five teens stand near the stairs trying to find a safe place to go. They feel a weird sensation as their bodies are stretched.
"I have a very bad feeling about this," says Kimberly in a worried tone.
"This is too weird," responds Trini.
"Everyone hang on," yells Jason.
Their bodies stretch as they dematerialize, turning into five beams of color: Jason red, Zack Black, Billy blue, Trini yellow, and Kimberly pink. They feel like flying as they travel through the outskirts of Angel Grove towards some kind of a dome. The five teens enter through a small hole at the top of the dome. Before they know it their bodies rematerialize as they fell to the ground on top of one another. They look to see themselves in a round room filled with futuristic consoles.
"This isn't exactly is the mall is it," say Kimberly questioning where they were. "The only other person I know who has technology like this other than my father is my uncle," she said in her thoughts.
"This place is magnificent," says a fascinated Billy astounded by the technology.
"So, how did we end up here?" asks a confused Jason.
"I would like to know where here is," responds Trini.
"Maybe the answers are in these controls," answers Billy as he punches buttons on one of the consoles. Kimberly also walks towards the controls to find out where they were but before she could do anything a short robot with a large dome head came running out of the shadows.
"No, no don't touch anything," the little robot begs as he tripped falling to the ground.
Billy helps the robot back onto his feet.
"Wow, a fully functional automaton, never seen anything like," says Billy as he looks into the robot's visor.
"I have," Kimberly mutters under her breath.
"Welcome humans," says voice as the teens turned to a large tube where a giant blue head appears.
"Uh oh," says a frightened Trini.
"So, you are you," says Jason keeping his cool.
"Like, what are you," responds Kimberly demanding an answer.
"My name is Zordon, an inter-dimensional being caught in a time warp," answers the head.
"And my name is Alpha 5," says the little robot.
"Okay I'm confused right now," states Kimberly.
"It's quite simple my dear, this planet is under attack and I need you to safe it," states Zordon.
"Yeah right," says Zack.
"Ah, a non believer, observe the viewing globe, no doubts will be answered with the images you see," Zordon says as the kids turns around to look at a globe with images inside it.
They see an image of Rita flying on a bicycle with Goldar with big gold wings right behind her.
"This is Rita Repulsa, an intergalactic sorceress who is bent on controlling the universe. With her henchman and Putty Patrollers she plans to conquer earth."
"What does this have to do with us?" asks a confused Trini.
"You have been chosen to form an elite fighting team to battle Rita. Each of you will be given access to ancient powers from beings you call dinosaurs," explains Zordon.
"Dinosaurs?" questions Kimberly. "I could probably take her out myself," she says in her thoughts.
Just then small circular devices each with a different dinosaur appear on their waists.
"Behold, the keys to their power," exclaims Zordon.
"What are these?" questions Zack.
"Those are your power morphers, when in danger hold it up to the sky calling the name of your dinosaur and you will transform into a fighting force known to all as The Power Rangers," explains Zordon.
"Power Rangers, sounds catchy," says Kimberly.
"You will have access to great power controlling a fleet of fighting machines called Zords," says Zordon.
"I don't get it," says a confused Trini.
Zordon continues ignoring what Trini had said, "Jason bold and powerful, you shall control the Tyrannosaurus Rex Dinosaur. Zackary, you are clever and brave, you shall control the Mastodon. Kimberly, graceful and smart, the Pterodactyl dinosaur is yours to command. Billy patient and wise, you shall command the Triceratops dinosaur. Trini, fearless and agile, the Saber tooth Tiger dinosaur will be yours to command. Observe the viewing globe when in need of help your Zords will aid you and they will form together to create the Megazord."
They all watch seeing mechanical versions of the dinosaurs coming together to form a gigantic humanoid robot.
"Power morphers, dinosaurs, no not my kind of thing, hey it's been real but I got to split," says Zack unimpressed.
"Me too," says Trini following close behind.
"Yo, Jason, Kimberly let's go," shouts Zack to his friends.
Jason and Kimberly follows with Kimberly turning back to look at Zordon.
"Very well, may the power protect you," says Zordon.
"Well that didn't go very well did it Aye-Aye-Aye," says a worried Alpha.
As the gang walks out of the Command Center, the group discusses things.
"Guys, he choose us to save the world. I say we do it," Jason announces.
"D o you really think we can?" Trini asks the group.
"Hey guys, I mean you don't even know what you're talking about. We were talking to a giant talking head.
"Hey get off me you ugly things," Kim says as she pushes herself backwards and smashes the two of them together.
Zack shows off his hip-hop karate as he does some fancy footwork.
Billy takes off his glasses and begins to fight. The two creatures grab him and throw him to the ground. Billy quickly recovers.
"I hate this," he mutters under his breath as he looks around and sees Jason kick one in the chest.
Trini is holding her own as well. Trini punches a couple of the grey creatures that are around her.
Billy tries to go up against them again but is only thrown to the ground as Jason falls on top of him.
"That's it! I've had enough," Kim says annoyed. She uses the same attack she used on her father but makes it more discreet. The two creatures attacking her fall to the ground but one comes up behind her and throw her on top of Jason.
Zack is the next to fall on top of the pile but is annoyed that nothing is working for them. Trini is the next to follow as she falls on top of Zack.
"Zordon said these power morphers give us powers. Let's try them out," Jason announces taking the spot of leader whether he knew or not the red ranger was leader. They call out their respective dinosaurs and transforming into Power rangers.
Meanwhile, back in the circular command center, Alpha is jumping up and down for joy.
"Zordon, they have completed the metamorphosis," Alpha exclaims.
"Teleport them to Angel Grove City, Rita sent Goldar to attack the city," Zordon orders.
The rangers once again feel themselves being stretched as they get ready to teleport.
"Where we going now," asks Trini.
"We're going to save the world," answers Jason.
They teleport to Angel Grove as they see Goldar jump from building to building. More of those creatures appear behind him. Some of them had swords in place of their right hand.
"Get them," Goldar orders.
The creatures charge towards the rangers but this time things were different. They found that their speed and strength were increased making quick work of them turning their attention to Goldar. The rangers then see a tall wand fall from the sky impacting the ground causing the ground to crumble before them. They look up to see that Goldar had grown to 40 stories tall as he stomps around the city laughing about his new size.
"Man, that dude is huge," exclaims Jason.
Goldar takes his foot stomping near the rangers causing them to fall to the ground. The rangers got back on their feet ready to defend the city.
"Alright fang face, you're going down," bellows Jason.
"Yeah, the good guys are here," shouts Zack.
"Get off our planet," shouts Billy.
"Cause we're the Power Rangers," shouts Trini.
"And we're not backing down," shouts Kimberly.
"We need Dinozord power now," commands Jason.
Hidden underground a large mechanical red t-rex rises from a fissure roaring loudly as it stomps its way to the city. Beneath a glacier of ice a black mastodon rose up blowing cold steam from its snout. Within a desert the blue triceratops zord rolls its way across the sands roaring. Hidden in a jungle the saber tooth zord sprints its way through the trees leaping over them and into the city. In the outskirts of Angel Grove a small volcano erupts as the pterodactyl zord soars into the sky. The team is in awe as they see their respective dinosaurs come to where they were standing. Jason was the first leap high in the air landing on the head of the t-rex. He then opened up a small hatch dropping down into the cockpit. Everyone is amazed how easily they knew how to operate them despite never driving a zord before.
"Everyone log on," he commands.
The other rangers follow entering the cockpits of their zords.
"Zack here this is kicking!"
"This is Billy, all systems go!"
"Trini here ready to rock!"
"Alright let's see what this baby can do."
"Let's bring them together," says Jason.
The t-rex's arms folds up as wells a bending down on its knees. The saber tooth tiger folds down with the front legs near its head while the back legs go inside the body while the tail folds up. The triceratops tail also folds over as both zords attach themselves to one knee of the t-rex. The mastodon's head detaches from its body attaching itself to the chest of the t-rex with the back legs folding upwards while the back split in two attaching to the back of the t-rex with the legs becoming cannons. Pterodactyl clips onto the zords back. Each of the rangers' chairs slide through a door behind them through a series of tunnels into the main cockpit in the t-rex's head. In this tank form it rolls towards Goldar's position. Goldar wasting no time fired an energy blast from his sword doing damage to the tank. Despite shaking in the cockpit the rangers' maintained their course. Jason then pushes a button on his console.
"Megazord sequence has been initiated," announces an automated voice.
The mastodon head detaches from the torso with the saber tooth and triceratops bodies shifts upwards becoming legs with the heads being the feet. The cannons roll around revealing hands as it stands up straight. The pterodactyl unclips itself from the back taking to skies again going for the chest of the t-rex folding its wings and head inside its body. The t-rex's chest opens as it slid down inside revealing a smaller head that had sides shifting from the back resulting in a spiked helmet. The pterodactyl docks with the chest becoming the new chest piece.
"Megazord activated," the automated voice says.
Goldar leaps forward slashing two quick hits on the newly formed Megazord. He charges again but the zord grabs its arm dragging him to the opposite side. It then does a hook punch with its left hand knocking the monster back. Goldar recovers slashing it two more times in the chest causing it to spin around. It blocks the next strike countering it with another punch sending Goldar to the ground.
"Nice one Jason," states Billy.
"Hold on, he's coming back," responds Jason.
Goldar quickly got up jumping into the air thrusting both feet forward kicking the Megazord as it struggles to maintain its balance. Goldar wastes no time slashing and kicking once again before they could fully recover.
"You are foolish to think you can beat me," laughs Goldar.
"Man, this guy doesn't know when to quit," remarks a worries Zack.
"The database says something about a power sword," says Kimberly.
"Alright we need the power sword," commands Jason.
Out of the sky fell a large metallic sword with blade end imbedding itself in the ground. The Megazord lifts it from the ground flipping it so the bladed end is up as electricity forged form the sword into the robot giving it full power. Sensing this was too much for him Goldar decided to retreat.
"I'll be back," he says as he disappeared.
The rangers cheer now that the battle is finished. Back at the moon at a large palace in its tallest tower Rita is grilling her henchmen following Goldar's return.
"Goldar you couldn't handle a bunch of kids! Finster you should have made better putties! Get out of my way you idiots," Rita says as she pushes herself through Squatt and Baboo.
"I assure you your highness I will not fail you again," assures Goldar.
"Shut up, oh I have such a headache!" she complains.
Kim quickly returns home after the battle. She looks at her watch and it reads seven o'clock. She was supposed to be home at five.
"I'm so dead," Kim mutters. Entering the house, she attempts to run upstairs but her father got her attention.
"Kim where were you? You were supposed to be home two hours ago," Ben senior scolds his daughter.
"Sorry I got caught up doing a project," Kim quickly covers up.
"You still should have called," Ben tells her.
"I have a lot of homework to do so I better get started," Kim states. She then hurries upstairs to hide everything.
She enters her room and looks for a place to hide her morpher. She looks and sees her closet to her left and her desk to her right.
"Not good enough," she mutters to herself, "Dad will have an easy time finding it there."
She looks again and sees her bed along her back wall of her room. She looks under her bed to see how messy it is, which to her surprise is clean.
"I'll put it in my underwear drawer. Dad will never there."
"Kim, come down here now," Her father yells sternly up the stairs.
"Crap," Kim mutters again. She hurries down the stairs.
"Sit down," her father orders. Kim pulls a chair out knowing what is coming.
"Where were you earlier?" Kim's father asks her sternly.
"I was at the movies and lost track of time. Sorry daddy," Kim says without stuttering.
"I sense your telling me the truth. So go get your rest we have an early day of training tomorrow," Ben tells her.
"Alright, I'll see you bright and early," Kim replies. She climbs the stairs to her room and breathes a sigh of relief.
