Katherine or Rita in Katherine's body slammed the door to Jason Scott's apartment, fuming.

"Something troubles you my Queen," Jason or Lord Zedd in Jason's body asked.

"The little pink bitch is on too us," Kat grumbled, "We need to move fast if we want this to work."

"Patience," Jason said calmly, "She's a minimal threat."

"I don't think so," Kat said, "Something didn't feel right."

"You're paranoid," he replied, "Once we have the legendary Tommy Oliver on our side, we will be unstoppable."

"We might have to take her out first," Katherine said, sitting on the couch and crossing her arms, "Their connection to each other is strong. She could ruin us if she gets to him first. We need to move fast."

"We will. We will take her out," Jason said, "And we will have him soon enough and his son too."

Kimberly stepped away from the crystal globe in front of her and turned to Billy with a frown.

"Get him here,"'Kimberly said, "Now." Billy just nodded and went to the phone and called his former leader.

"Hello," Tommy grumbled as his phone rang. He looked at the clock. It was three in the morning and he was alone in his bed.

"Tommy," came Billy Cranston's voice.

"Billy," Tommy said, sitting up.

"Pack whatever you need for you and your son and get to the old power chamber," Billy said.

"What? Why," Tommy said.

"Just do it Tommy," Billy all but yelled, "Ill explain everything when you get here and whatever you do, don't bring Kat. Don't even tell her. Just get here. Now. It's imperative that you follow my instructions to the letter."

"What the hell is going on, Billy," Tommy said.

"I said I'll explain when you get here," Billy said and the line went dead. Tommy just looked at his phone with a screwed up expression and put it back on the cradle. He laid back down and got comfortable and then he heard a voice inside his head. Her voice.

"Get up Tommy," Kim's echoing voice told him, "Get to the Command Center. Do it now. Before it's too late." He shot out of bed and quickly through his things together and his sons things and carried J.J. out to his Jeep and headed to the Command Center.

Kimberly opened her eyes and looked at their group, short Jason and Katherine and Trini but Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Justin, Billy, Tanya, and Zack were present and looking to Kimberly for guidance.

"He's coming," she said, "Now we have to make sure nothing gets in their way."

"What do you mean," Tanya asked, "And why would you tell him not to bring Kat, much less tell her?"

"Because Kat is dead," Kimberly said, then shrugged a little bit, "kind of. So is Jason. Years ago, when Rita and Zedd were purified, it only changed their outer appearance. They had a back up plan incase we ever defeated them. They retained their power and then waited for the right time to act. Six months ago, they took Katherine and Jason and they performed a ritual that switched their bodies. When they did that and were sure that they would be able to contain their essence inside the bodies of our friends and Kat and Jason's souls remained in the human bodies of themselves, Rita and Zedd murdered their former human vessels. Effectively ending the lives of our friends and they assumed their identities. They had been watching them. Learning their lives inside and out. Learning to behave like them. They had chosen Kat and Jason a long time ago."

"But why them," Rocky asked, "they could have done that to any one of us."

"They want Tommy," Billy said, "if they get him to turn on us all, they will be unstoppable. What better way to do that than to assume the identity of his wife and best friend."

"Hang on," Adam said, "You said kind of. What does kind of killed them mean?"

"Well," Kimberly said, trying to find the words to explain this.

"There's an anomaly within the morphing grid that we can't explain," Billy said, facing the rest of the group.

"We think that maybe," Kimberly said, "hopefully, Katherine and Jason are trapped there. We don't know for sure yet."

"How do you know all of this, Kim," Aisha spoke up.

"I've spent the last two years on Phados with Dulcea," Kimberly said, "Time passes by much slower there than it does here."

"Kimberly is the true crane but her lineage also stems from a long line of powerful witches," Billy explained, "Dulcea has trained her to harness her magic and the Ninjetti power together. Kimberly is more powerful than even Dulcea realized. If we can confirm that the anomaly in the Morphing Grid is the essence of our friends; Kimberly might be able to reverse what Zedd and Rita did. But..."

"But what," Tanya asked.

"But there is a price that comes with it," Kimberly said, "a pretty big price."

"What is it," Rocky asked, stepping closer.

"If I can do this," Kimberly said, "I would have to absorb Zedd and Rita and the only way I could destroy them...at least guarantee that they couldn't come back..."

"No," Aisha snapped, "No Kim. You can't sacrifice yourself. There has to be another way."

"There isn't," she snapped back, "I wish there were but there isn't. If getting Kat and Jason back means that I have to die, I will gladly bear that cross."

"We won't let you," Adam said, "We will find another way."

"There is no other way God dammit! If there were, I would have found it," Kim yelled, "You guys, I don't want this to be the end for me but I won't let them die either. I'm not going to let J.J. lose his mother or Tommy his wife. Jason's kids need their father too."

"Why do you have to absorb Rita and Zedd? Can't you just expel them from Katherine and Jason's bodies and put Kat and Jason back," Rocky asked.

"Because there is no guarantee that they won't find their way into another living vessel. If they are in my body and I die, their souls will be sent to purgatory and they can't escape that."

"What about you? Does that mean you'll end up in purgatory too," Adam asked.

"It's possible," she replied.

"No, Kim. We can't let you sacrifice yourself and risk that you might spend eternity in torment," Tanya said, "Neither Kat nor Jason would want that."

"It's my cross to bear," Kimberly said, "I'm not going to leave Jason's girls fatherless and I'm not leaving J.J. without his mother. It's the only way."

"Kim, we have to find another way," Aisha said, "you know, Je..."

"Enough," Kim stopped her, "I know. Okay. I know. Like I said, if there were any other way, I would have found it by now. All I need from you guys is your help and you have to to keep this from Tommy. He doesn't need to know that this is the only way to save them."

"If it's even them in the morphing grid," Rocky said.

"Right," Kim said, "Just promise me."

"You have our word," Tanya said and each of the veteran Rangers nodded their promise.

"So what do we do now," Justin finally spoke up.

"Now, we wait for Tommy to get here with J.J. We can keep them safe. I've been keeping my eye on things with the witches glass. Rita and Zedd can't sense me watching them but I can see every move they make," Kimberly said, "But if they find out about me, about my powers; then we might be screwed. They already know that I know who they are and I wanted it that way. I'll be their target now. They will want to take me out before they try to get Tommy. They know I will tell him."

"Tell me what," Tommy said, walking in with his son in tow. Everyone faced him as he entered from the dark corridor. Everyone except for Kimberly. She turned away, whispering to herself before she lit a bundle of herbs aflame and threw it skyward. The bundle burst upward and the exploded like a firework above their heads sending a protective barrier down around the Command Center ruins. They were safely shielded from prying eyes for certain now.

Kimberly stepped forward and looked at him. She gave him her best comforting smile.

"Can you all give us a minute," she asked the group. They nodded and Tanya offered J.J. her hand and led him out of the room and down another corridor, leaving Kimberly and Tommy alone in the Command Center's central control room in the still standing lower levels far below ground.

"What is going on Kim," Tommy asked, walking closer to her.

"Let me show you," she said reaching for his hands and pulling him closer to her, "Close your eyes." He did as she asked and she reached up and placed her finger tips on his temples and her thumbs over his eyelids and whispered words he didn't understand. He saw a flash of light and saw Katherine, furiously writing a letter to him and signing it with Kimberly's name. Then she handed it to Rita and then she passed out. Next he saw the day he received the letter months later. Then he saw Rita and Zedd purified. Each scene changed with a brilliant flash of light in his head. He saw himself and his family being watched from hidden places over the course of time. He saw Jason and his family being watched the same way. Then he saw his beautiful wife and his best friend kneeling and two people he recognized as the purified human forms of Rita and Zedd. They were performing some kind of ritual. There was a brilliant fire that rose angrily between the four bodies and then Katherine and Jason collapsed followed by Rita and Zedd. Shortly after Katherine and Jason rose again, but they were no longer themselves. The human forms of Rita and Zedd began to stir and they were quickly bound and gagged by Kat and Jason. Then Katherine took a sharp knife from the alter near them and slit the other woman's throat, her blood pooling on the floor. Jason did the same to the other man and then the two looked at each other, smiled sickly and Jason pulled Katherine into his arms and kissed her passionately. Then next thing Tommy saw was the altercation between Katherine and Kimberly and then he felt Kimberly's fingers release him. He staggered backwards, sucking in air like he'd just swam up from the bottom of the ocean.

"I'm so sorry, Tommy," Kimberly said, tears falling down her cheeks.

"She's dead," he gasped, "My wife is dead!" He fell to his knees and let tears fall freely. Kimberly knelt in front of him.

"I will get her back, Tommy," she promised, "I swear to you, I will get her back."

"How," he cried, "How? They killed her! They killed Jason!"

"Billy found an anomaly within the morphing grid," Kimberly started to explain softly, touching his shoulder as she knelt beside him, "We think that somehow, Kat and Jason's souls might have been trapped there, essentially preserving them for now but we don't know for sure if what Billy found is them."

"How can we get sure," Tommy asked, trying to collect himself.

"I'm working on that," she answered.

"They want me," Tommy said, looking to her for confirmation. Kimberly nodded.

"That's why we had to get you here as fast as we could," she said, "That argument tonight wasn't just because I was angry. I needed you to go home and question her, to make her come to me. She knows that I know now. For now, I'm their target." Tommy's eyes shot up to hers, the shock written all over his face.

"Why would you..."he started to ask.

"Because you and J.J. needed to get to safety first and the only way to get you away from her without her noticing was to distract her," Kimberly answered, "I'm not going to let your son lose both of his parents if I can help it."

"How were you able to show me all of that? How did you get in my head? I heard your voice after Billy called me. How did you do it," he begged her for answers. She smiled and held up her hand where a white flame floated above her palm. It took the shape of his falcon and was soon joined by a pink flaming crane. She threw them upwards where they danced around them and then slowly fizzled out.

"Magic," she said with a gently smile, "I come from a long line of powerful witches, Tommy. I've been honing my powers with Dulcea for the last two years on Phados. I saw this coming, but I didn't see exactly how which is why I was too late to save them. My visions were spotty at best and I couldn't see exactly what they were planning. Kat wrote that letter but she doesn't remember doing it, Tommy. She gave it to Rita to use against us all at the right time. Her plan would never have worked if she didn't force the two of you together."

"So my marriage has been a lie," he questioned. Kimberly moved in front of him and took his face in her hands.

"Katherine loves you, Tommy," she said, looking him in the eye, "It wasn't a lie. It just wasn't the way the way things were supposed to go. But you have to know that she loved you. She always loved you. She always will."

"If Rita hadn't done what she did, would we have..."he started to ask. Kimberly took his hand and kissed the back of it and she nuzzled his cheek with her palm.

"It doesn't matter now," she said softly, "what matters now is that you and your son are safe and I am going to do everything I can to get her back for the both of you." Kimberly leaned in and kissed his cheek and whispered, "It's going to be okay. I promise."
