Tommy walked back out to the main chamber and was met with the rest of his team and Jason. They turned to look at him and he just looked at Zordon, hoping for answers.
"Rangers," Zordon began, "the Kimberly you remember, isn't the same person you rescued from Miranthias. She has been chosen for a much higher calling. There are forces at work beyond the power I can give you. The evil Kimberly now faces is greater than us all."
"But if its more powerful than us, how can she fight it," Tanya asked.
"Because into every generation a Slayer is born," Kimberly said from behind them, walking down the hall in tight blue jeans, a black tank top and wedged boots, "One girl in all the world with the strength and skill to fight the demons, vampires, and the forces of darkness. Well, that is until that one Slayer and her super witchy best friend used the power of the ultimate weapon and gave that power to every girl in the world that might have been called eventually. You see, the way it worked was that when one Slayer died, another would be called to take her place. Most never made it out of their teens."
"What kind of strength and skill are we talking about here," Rocky asked. Kimberly smirked and walked over to a pile of scrap metal from Zord repairs and picked up a solid steel pipe. She held it in both hands and with little effort bent it into a loop.
"Holy fuck," Adam whispered, then he realized that Zordon had made a disapproving face and quickly apologized.
"I didn't ask for this and I am so sorry, Tommy," she said, taking a step toward him, "I never wanted to hurt you. I couldn't tell you all of this then. Not when…." She had to stop and look away. She fought back tears and wiped a few away and looked at him, "…not when I might not have come back."
"Perhaps it would be more beneficial to see what she means," Jason said and looked to Zordon.
"Rangers, behold the viewing globe," Zordon said. They turned and watched as Kim and a group of your women descended into a cave and within minutes they were in the middle of major battle. Girls fell left and right. Kim did too. They couldn't see her for a few minutes because of the amount of vampires that had covered her. She fought through those and fought more.
"How the hell did you survive this," Kat asked, looking at her in utter astonishment.
"I honestly have no idea," Kim said, "I thought about you guys." She looked at each of her friends and then at Tommy, "I thought about you. About never seeing you again. I think that is what kept me going." Tommy didn't know what to say, so instead he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead and just held her tight. The rest of them gathered round and it became a group hug. Tommy let go when the alarms started going off. The group immediately turned to the viewing globe.
"You'd think that Divatox would lay off for at least a day after Muranthias," Tanya muttered.
"Uh, I don't think that's anything Divatox cooked up," Adam said, grimacing at the demon stalking up the road from the beach. Kimberly moved closer to the screen. She immediately knew what she was looking at.
"Sorry guys," she said, picking up her axe from where it leaned against the wall, "Duty calls." She looked up at Zordon and he nodded and she disappeared in a flash of light. She appeared on the viewing globe screen in the middle of the road, far ahead of the demon. Then there were two more stalking toward her from either side.
"She needs help. Zordon, we should be there," Tanya said, bgenuine concern edging her voice.
"No, Tanya," Zordon said, "that monster is far beyond your powers. Kimberly can handle this."
"Zordon, its three against one," Tommy said, "We should be there."
"I know you are concerned Tommy, but behold," Zordon said, "She fights."
They watched her run toward the monsters. They charged. She swung her axe in front of her, quickly decapitating the first monster. The second thrashed its arm out, leaving claw marks across her chest. She threw several quick jabs into its chest then grabbed the monster by the fins on the top of its head and slammed its head into her knee then she tossed it to the side as the third jumped on her back. She reached back and grabbed its spines on the back of its neck and flipped it over her shoulder and onto the pavement. She stood just in time to be kicked in the chest by the second monster and she staggered back. The monster charged and she turned and ran to the nearest tree at full speed. She ran up and flipped over the monster, kicked it into the tree, swung her axe and its head hit the ground. The third monster was flying at her as she turned. Its feet hitting the pavement faster and faster with each stride. It swung at her as it got closer but she quickly dodged. She jumped up and landed a double kick to its chest, sending it staggering backwards. It charged again and she threw a right hook into its jaw line and then she jumped into a high twisting kick, landing each both of her feet to the monsters head and chest. It fell and she landed in a crouch and then stood. The monster stood as well and growled at her. She smirked and gave it a nod to egg it on to come at her. The monster took the bait and ran for her. She spun on her heel, reeled her arm back and tossed her axe straight forward. It flipped through the air, end over end and hit its target square in the chest. The monster flew back into the tree behind it and went limp. Kim walked over, put her foot on the dead demon's chest and pulled her axe out. She dropped it in a bush and picked up the body. Green and gooey blood, dripped thick and slimy onto her shoulder, but she paid it no mind. She piled the dead demons on the beach and set fire to them. She heard, rather than saw her friends teleport to her. She stood on the beach, watching the sun rise beyond the flames of her kill and crossed her arms.
"So, that was," Adam started.
"Totally badass," Rocky finished, excitedly. Kim let out a chuckle and felt Tommy next to her. She could see the red of his muscle shirt out of the corner of her eye and she felt his hand slip into hers. She let out a breath and smiled.
"Is anybody else hungry," Rocky asked and everyone laughed.
"When are you not hungry," Tanya joked.
"Seriously, I'm oddly in the mood for fish," Rocky said.
"Oh my God, " Kim said, rolling her eyes but she laughed and then inhaled in a hiss. She looked down and remembered the claw marks across her chest. They were deeper than she had expected and bleeding badly.
"I guess that Slayer healing thing hasn't kicked in yet," she joked, gingerly wiping blood from her chest.
"Are you alright," Tommy asked, eyes wide at the bloody that covered her chest. Kim shrugged and gave him a half smile that said I'm used to this.
"Par for the course," she said, "But I should get cleaned up. Besides, I am beat."
"We should get home," Tanya said to the group who had been out all night and were also incredibly tired.
"All of our cars are still at the Youth Center," Kat said, looking weary at the walk that they had ahead of them.
"Are you staying at Jason's," Tommy asked Kimberly, quiet enough that only she could hear him.
"No," she said, leaning into him as they walked, lagging a little behind the group, "I have a room at the hotel up the street."
"I'll give you a ride," Tommy said, "Or you can come to my place?" She giggled a little and put her arm around him. She was so tired from the nights battles and the unexpected trip to Muranthias that she was barely standing.
"Oh Tommy," she said, "I am in desperate need of a shower and the closest one is my hotel room."
"Then I will take you there," he said and gave her shoulder a squeeze. They reached his truck and said their goodbyes to their friends. Tommy helped her into his truck and then took her to her hotel. He walked her to the door of her room. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the key. She opened the door and looked at him and smiled.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay," he asked.
"I'll be fine," she promised and tossed her jacket onto the bed.
"Well, then, I guess…" he began to search for words because he didn't want to leave her. She cocked her head to one side and reached for his hand.
"You guess," she ventured, knowing that he didn't want to leave and that she didn't want him too. He looked at her and she met his eyes. She let go of his hand and pushed her hands into her back pockets and chewed on her bottom lip while taking him in. He had far more muscle than the last time she had seen him and his shirt hugged those muscles just right.
"Oh fuck it," she said and grabbed his shirt and pulled him into her. She pressed her lips to his and ran her hand up the front of his shirt. She kissed him hungrily and he responded with equal force. He was the first to reach under clothing. He ran his hand up under her tank top and she responded by raising her arms so he could pull it over her head and off of her body. The only time their lips separated was long enough for her shirt to come off and soon after his was on the floor as well.
"Shower," she said, breathlessly between his kisses, "I desperately, desperately need a shower." He nodded his response as they began moving toward the bathroom. She was unbuckling his belt when he ran his hands down her back to her firm butt and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his waste and never broke her lips away from his. He set her on the counter in the bathroom and unhooked the black bra she wore and slid it off of her arms.
"God I've missed you," he whispered, holding her at her hips and then sliding his hands up. She leaned in and kissed him while she worked him out of his jeans and boxers. The she slid off the counter top and he helped her out of her jeans and panties and she turned on the water in the shower and continued to kiss him as the steam filled the room. Then she slipped into the shower and pulled him into the water with her. She stood under the water, allowing it to wash away the blood and demon blood. She reached for her body wash and loofah and Tommy took it from her and proceeded to wash her body. He started with her back.
"I want you," she said, as he worked her loofah down her chest, between her breasts and toward her stomach. He leaned in, close to her ear as he kept moving lower on her body.
"Where do you want me, Beautiful," he whispered in her ear and pushed her belly backward so that her backside pressed up against his front. She felt his hot, hardness throb against her as his hand dropped the loofah and slid lower to her wet and waiting slit.
"Do you want me here," he whispered as he slid a finger into her. She let out a shuddered gasp and leaned her head against his shoulder as he began to work his digit in and out of her before adding a second. She reached her arm around behind her and began working his hard cock up and down until she could take it anymore. She turned to face him and kissed his chest, up his neck and traced his jaw line with her lips and then she looked him in the eyes as her lips barely touched his and said, "Please, Tommy. Please, make love to me." He buried his hand in her hair and turned her whole body with his so that her back faced the wall of the shower while he kissed her deeply. His other arm wrapped around her lower back and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around him as he pressed her back to the wall and moved his hands to rest on her full ass to help support her weight and then he rocked his hips forward and felt her body tighten as he slid into her.
"Are you okay," he asked against her lips.
"Uh huh," she breathed and she felt him spreading her open to sheath his hardness. She was deliciously full with his hard cock and she gently sucked on his tongue to express her pleasure.
"You feel incredible," he said as she started to ride him.
"So do you," she whispered in his ear. Neither noticed the water starting to lose its heat. Tommy responded to her sexy voice in her ear with a hard thrust into her that made her gasp and whisper in his ear again, "Don't stop." With that, she met him thrust for thrust until she felt him explode within her. She carefully set her feet on the shower floor and turned the water off after they both finished cleaning each other. They toweled off and Tommy picked her up and carried her to the bed where he laid her down and made love to her until they fell asleep in a tangled of limbs and bedsheets. She slept soundly with her head on his chest and his arms around her. He stroked her hair until he fell asleep.
