DISCLAIMER: Nope. If you recognize the characters, they don't belong to me. Saban and Disney own the Power Rangers in all incarnations.

SUMMARY: This is the sequel to 'Bring me to Life'. So many have asked me about it that I decided to write it. Bear with me on this one please. I have no idea where this one might go.


Carter opened his eyes. Something had awakened him and he wasn't sure what it was.

The movie was over and the menu screen was repeating itself on the television. Kim was asleep in the recliner. Dana was asleep curled against him. What woke him up?

Then, he saw the flames. They were licking at the front windows. He nudged Dana but she didn't wake up. He nudged her again. "Dana, wake up. The house is on fire."

Dana bolted upright on the couch. "What?" She looked toward the windows. "Oh my god!" She jumped off the couch and ran over to Kim. "Kimberly, wake up! Kim, wake up! We need to get out of here!" The smoke was starting to get into the house around the front door.

Kim sat up in the recliner. "Oh god! Dana, how are we going to get out of here?"

"You have to tell us, Kim. How can we get out without using either door?"

"The lair. We have go out through the lair." She dragged herself out of the chair with Dana's help. She noticed that Carter was on his cell phone.

"That's right. 1992 Valencia Road. The house is on fire." After a moment, he all but yelled into the phone. "Actually, I'm calling from inside the house. My fiancé and my friend's pregnant wife are here with me and I think we're pretty well trapped. You might want to get someone out here fast."

The smoke was starting to get thick in the living room. Kimberly started coughing and Dana took her arm and led her away from the outside walls. "Where's the entrance to the lair, Kimberly? You have to show us." Dana watched as Kimberly led the way into the kitchen and activated the secret entrance to what had once been the command center for the Dino Thunder Rangers.

"Carter, come on!" Kimberly yelled as she and Dana started down the steps. Carter followed them, closing the hatch behind him. They stumbled through the center and to the secret exit. Just outside the lair, Kim dropped to her knees still coughing and holding her very pregnant belly. She cried out and Carter and Dana dropped to their knees beside her.

"Kim, what is it?" Dana asked. "Is it a contraction?"

"I've been having them all day. I thought it was Braxton-Hicks but I guess it's not. They're getting more and more intense and I think they're coming more regularly." She was trying to breathe through the contraction but was having a hard time after inhaling the smoke.

"We need to get her up to the front yard. The medics should be coming soon. Which way, Kim?"

Kim just pointed as another contraction hit her hard. Carter and Dana each took a side and practically lifted the young woman to her feet and pulled her along between them.

Arriving in the front yard a short time later, Kim dropped to her knees and Carter stepped away as Ryan ran up and started talking to his sister and Kim. Ryan asked questions and Dana fired the answers back at him almost as fast.

"Carter, you might want to go get Tommy. We're taking Kim to the hospital. She's in labor." Dana's voice reached Carter through all the other noise around him. The fire trucks had arrived and orders were being shouted to the firemen trying to save the house.

Carter simply nodded and ran for his car. Once there, however, he didn't pull out until he watched the ambulance drive away with Kimberly, Dana and Ryan inside.


Pulling up at Reefside General, Dana was worried. The contractions were getting much closer together but Kim's water hadn't broken yet. There was a chance they'd have to take the babies C-section but Dana really hoped it wouldn't come down to that.

She went with Kim into the emergency room where they immediately started her on oxygen and an IV to attempt to slow the labor a little.

To make matters worse, Kim had been only barely coherent on the trip in to the hospital.

The doctor looked at the nurse. "We'd better prep her for an emergency C-section." Turning to Dana, he apologized. "You can't stay."

"I heard what you're doing and, until her husband gets here, I'm not leaving my friend's side. The fire was set deliberately as a murder attempt. I'm not letting her out of my sight. Besides, I can help. I'm a fully trained medic only months away from receiving my RN."

"You can't stay here." The doctor was adamant.

"And I said I'm not leaving. She has the right to have someone beside her. Who better than someone who's been through this sort of thing before?"

"And how do we know that you're telling the truth?"

"Would you like to talk to my father? I'm sure he'll be willing to verify everything I told you. I have his number in my cell phone."

"Who's your father?"

"Captain William Mitchell of the Lightspeed Rescue Aquabase. Still want the number?" Dana knew what the doctor's response would be to her claim. Her father was legendary amongst Rangers and civilians alike.

"The Captain William Mitchell?" The doctor looked shocked for a moment. He regained his composure fairly quickly. "Fine. You can stay. But the minute her husband gets here, you're out. And I would like to talk to your father later. I'd like to find out just what he thinks of the way you bandy his name around to get what you want."

"He thinks it's funny. Especially when self-righteous jerks like you try to call him tattling on me. Besides, Kim's like a daughter to him. He took a real liking to her when he first met her a year and a half ago."

The nurse walked up to Dana. "Who is her husband? That way I can let the front desk know to be expecting him."

"Dr. Thomas Oliver. He should be here shortly. I sent my boyfriend to get him from the school."

"Okay. I'll go let them know and start preparations for an emergency C-section." The nurse left the room and the doctor followed her shortly after.

"Hang in there, Kim. Tommy'll be here soon. I promise."


Carter Grayson walked into Reefside High School and looked around. "Can I help you?" came a voice from beside him.

Carter turned to the voice only to find the superintendent of schools, Dr. Anton Mercer, standing close by. "Actually, Dr. Mercer, I think you can. I need to find Dr. Oliver. His wife's in labor. She was driven into it early by a fire set at the house. She wasn't looking too good as they loaded her into the ambulance."

Anton didn't need to hear anymore. He knew what he needed to do. "Follow me, Mr. –"

"Grayson. Carter Grayson. I'm a friend of Tommy's."

The two of them stopped outside Tommy's classroom and Anton signaled for Carter to wait for a moment. Anton knocked and walked into the classroom. "Dr. Mercer. How can I help you?" Tommy asked.

"Dr. Oliver, please come out into the hallway for a moment." Anton didn't want this type of news broken to him in front of his class.

Tommy nodded and turned back to his class. "I'll just be out in the hallway. Behave until I return."

Stepping out into the hallway, Tommy was shocked to see Carter standing there with a dirty face that spoke volumes. It was Kimberly. Something had happened.

"Tommy, there was a fire at the house. We had to go out through the basement. Kim's labor and she wasn't doing too well when the ambulance arrived. Dana went with her to the hospital."

Tommy turned to Anton an expression of sheer panic on his face. "Go, Tommy. I'll cover your class. Your wife needs you." Tommy just shook his friend's hand and ran for the door. Stopping, he turned around.

"Carter, the girls…."

"Just make the call. I'll pick them up." Tommy nodded and turned back around, running as if Mesogog was chasing him.
