Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger
Summary: What if Kim decided to stay instead of go to the Pan globals? What if she they would have their new powers until the day they die?
Chapter 1: The Mutiny
The rangers were preparing for the rally they were riding in. Kim and Tommy were near one another talking and laughing while the others studied the map they'd been given. Kim and Tommy had been going out for a little more than a year. They were then quickly on their way through the course plotted for the Rally.
"Kim are you alright?" Tommy asked out of concern.
"I'll be alright I'm just a little dizzy," Kim said kissing his cheek. They got on their four wheelers and started the course following the clues on their map and having fun when all of a sudden the sky flashed.
Meanwhile on the moon Rita was about to start another plan to conquer the Earth and finish off the power rangers. When Lord Zedd returned and threw Rita out of the moon palace as he resumed his command as the true emperor of evil.
Back on Earth Jason had the others pull off to the side of the course. They made sure they would stay together and monitor their communicators in case Zordon tried to contact them.
"The next clue should be up around that rock formation," Billy yelled over the noise.
"Alright let's go," Jason said also warning them to keep alert.
"Alpha contact the rangers at once and transport them here," Zordon said to Alpha.
Their communicator's chimed and Jason was the first as leader to answer.
"Hold on Alpha, I'll round up the others," Jason said into his communicator.
Once they moved off course and stood together Jason answered his communicator.
"Go ahead Zordon," Jason said with all seriousness.
"RANGERS TELEPORT TO THE COMMAND CENTRE IMMEDIATELY," Zordon said, "THIS IS AN EMERGENCY."
When they arrived at the command centre Alpha was in hysterics and the guys were confused.
"Zordon what's going on?" Jason asked.
"RANGERS THE THING THAT I HAVE FEARED THE MOST HAS HAPPENED. LORD ZEDD HAS RETURNED, RITA AND HER MINIONS MASTER. HE LEFT RITA IN CHARGE AND SINCE SHE HAS FAILED HE HAS COME BACK TO FINISH THE JOB. I'M AFRAID THAT YOUR ZORDS MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO DEFEAT HIM. HE IS TOO POWERFUL," Zordon said grimly.
Meanwhile back on the moon Zedd was watching Earth.
"So poor old Zordon is still around. Too bad he thinks those do gooder teenagers are no match for me. Send my putties down to them." Zedd said.
The putties landed near the rally in front of Bulk and Skull and started to harass them.
Back in his palace on the moon he had Rita on her knees begging for a second chance. Lord Zedd said simply that she would not get any more chances and he took her wand and locked her into her dumpster. He then sent her into the far reaches of the universe. He then turned to send more putties to the Earth to destroy the rangers for good.
In the command centre the sirens started to go off and Alpha was in shock.
"Ay ei ei, rangers come look," Alpha said.
"What is going on Alpha?" they asked as they walked over to the viewing globe.
"It's morphin time," Jason yelled.
"Dragon zord," Tommy yelled transforming into his green power suit.
"Mastodon," Zack yelled transforming into his black power suit.
"Pterodactyl," Kimberly yelled transforming into her pink power suit.
"Triceratops," Billy yelled transforming into his blue power suit.
"Sabre tooth tiger," Trini yelled transforming into her yellow power suit
"Tyrannosaurus," Jason yelled transforming into his red power suit completing their morphing sequence as their leader.
They all teleported to the putties where they were harassing Bulk and Skull. They took their stances and began to fight. They were losing badly and Tommy's powers began to fail on him. Jason saved him from an advancing putty before he found their weakness the Z on their chests. They split up once again and kicked ass defeating the putties in no time at all.
Once they went back to the command centre they got the answers they were looking for from Zordon. Meanwhile Zedd used his wand to create a monster out of a piranha from the lake outside of Angel Grove and let it out on the unsuspecting residence of the city.
The sirens once again went off in the command centre and Zordon told them what they needed to know.
"TOMMY YOU MUST STAY BEHIND UNTILL WE CAN FIND AWAY TO RECHARGE YOUR POWERS. RANGERS YOU MUST GO OUT AND STOP PIRANHA FROM HARMING THE INHABITANTS OF ANGEL GROVE," Zordon said.
"Back to action," Jason yelled as they reached up and pulled back on their helmets.
"We need dinozord power now," Jason yelled.
The monster Zedd had unleashed froze their zords and they could nothing without them. He then brainwashed the tyrannosaurus zord into turning against the rangers and started to fight them.
Meanwhile in the command centre Zordon used his own power to reenergize Tommy's power coin. But Tommy was told that it wouldn't last forever and it was only a temporary fix. Tommy understood but he jumped back into the action with the others.
Using the dragon dagger he called the dragon zord into action to protect them and keep the tyrannosaurus zord busy. The monster then brainwashed the dragon zord into fighting against the rangers as well.
"Let's get back to the command centre maybe Zordon can figure something out," Kim said and they all teleported back to the command centre.
Zordon tells them about the new and more powerful zords they could possess if they regain control of their old zords first.
"Looks like we got our work cut out for us guys," Jason said with a sigh.
They sat there trying to think about what they could do to regain control of the zords. Alpha gives Billy some schematics for a signal disrupter that could be built that might free the zords and give the rangers back their control over the dinozords and dragon zord.
"TRINI AND BILLY MUST GO TO WORK ON THE DISRUPTER MEANWHILE THE ZORDS AND THE MONSTER ARE HEADED FOR THE RALLY," Zordon said.
"Back to action," Jason yelled and they flipped into action landing outside the rally.
They get tossed around by their zords and didn't know how much longer they could last without the machine Billy and Trini were constructing in his lab. The monster then changes the directions of the zords who then start heading for the rally and the innocent people participating in the rally. Billy and trini had still not finished their machine so the rangers tried to get the zords to change directions by following them.
Billy and Trini morph and join the others with the device they had just finally finished building. When they got to the others however the machine didn't work and Billy needed to figure out why. To give him time they called on the power blaster.
"POWER AXE," Zack yelled tossing up his weapon.
"POWER BOW," Kim yelled tossing up her weapon.
"POWER DAGGERS," Trini yelled tossing in her yellow daggers.
'"POWER LANCE," Billy yelled throwing in his blue lance.
"POWER SWORD," Jason said completing the process by adding his sword to the mix which brought together the power blaster.
"Billy fix the machine," Jason said as they distracted the monster from the zords long enough.
"Aww man I put the battery in the wrong way," Billy said to Tommy who was with him.
"Our genius," Tommy said laughing.
"There it should work now," Billy said as he pushed the button on the device and then Zedd became enraged and began to destroy the zords by burning them.
In the command centre Zordon and Alpha quickly worked to save what was left of the zords.
"Tommy think quick and send the dragon zord which Zedd has not gotten yet back to hiding," Jason said.
Using the dragon dagger Tommy sent the dragon zord back to the sea and safe in it's hiding spot and free form the dangers of Lord Zedd.
After fighting the monster some more they retreated back to the command centre.
"All we worked for is gone," Trini said sadly.
"NOT QUITE TRINI. ALPHA MANGED TO SAVE ENOUGH OF YOUR OLD ZORDS TO CREATE THE NEW ZORDS," Zordon said to the rangers before him.
"Aww it was nothing I just had to, never mind," Alpha said.
"RANGERS CALL FOR YOUR NEW ZORDS AND FORM THE MEGAZORD. TOMMY YOUR POWERS ARE TOO WEAK TO SUSTAIN A NEW ZORD SO FOR NOW YOU MUST REMAIN BEHIND," Zordon said.
"Back to action," Jason called and they landed back outside and in front of the monster.
"MASTODON LION THUNDERZORD POWER,"
"PTERODACTYL FIREBIRD POWER,"
"TRICERATOPS UNICORN THUNDERZORD POWER,"
"SABRE TOOTH TIGER GRIFFIN THUNDERZORD POWER,"
"TYRANNOSAURUS RED DRAGON THUNDERZORD POWER,"
They brought together the zords to create the mega thunder zord.
"MEGA THUNDERZORD POWER UP," the rangers called.
"THUNDER SABRE NOW POWER IT UP," Jason called.
They quickly used the sabre and destroyed the monster saving the Earth and the city once more.
They teleported back to the command centre and reunited with Tommy after powering down.
"TOMMY JUST AS YOUR POWERS ARE WEAK SO SHALL IT BE WITH THE DRAGON ZORD," Zordon said but Tommy understood and he just held Kim to him.
"Hey whatever happened to Rita?" Kim asked.
"Look in the viewing globe," Zordon said starting to laugh.
The rangers watched as Rita sang the beer on the wall song as she floated in space. The rangers laughed about it then grew serious as they saw the reckless driving of Bulk and Skull still under the influence of the monsters powerful spell.
"You guys we can't leave them like that," Trini said with a laugh.
The rangers teleported back to the base where they left their device and unscrambled the signal placed upon the four wheelers that Bulk and Skull were riding around on. Jason sent Tommy and Kim to look after Bulk and Skull to make sure they were alright while the others went back to get the bikes.
Tommy and Kim doubled up on one bike while Bulk and Skull doubled on the other one. They were the last ones across the finishing line of the rally.
Tommy then walked with Kim back into town where they went to the park and he surprised her with a candlelight picnic by the lake.
"Tommy when did you have the time to make this up with all the fighting we did today?" Kim asked speechless.
"Well when you guys all went back out in your new zords I had Alpha teleport me around to do this for you," Tommy said with a smile.
"Your amazing Tommy thank you," Kim said kissing his cheek.
"Anytime beautiful," Tommy said.
They enjoyed their picnic dinner and then headed back home for rest before another day with Zedd and other problems that might occur in their next battle against evil.
