Thank you for the reviews watches and favourites. Honestly they mean so much to me.
I got a review from HunterBradley that said "Great story keep up the good work. But why did Dulcea have to introduce herself to Kim? Cause they've already met. Update soon please." To answer this question. The MMPR Movie is in an alternate timeline. Ivan Ooze and the events of the movie never existed in the TV universe. The only access they had to the Great Power was from Ninjor (Ninjaman) to gain their Ninjetti powers. But thank you for the question. I never thought to actually point out that fact.
Now with the Disclaimer: Power Rangers are owned by Saban Brands. I dont own anything but the plot of this story.
The figure turned around, They are the kyonshi." She then pulled back her hood, exposing long blond hair, and said, "I am Dulcea. Welcome to Phaedos."
Kimberly walked over to her bag with a slight limp. She went to grab her things when the defender of Phaedos placed the end of her staff between the girl and the bag, "Tell me why you have come here."
The brunette pushed hair behind her ear and responded, "I am Kimberly. Zordon sent me here to find you." She then picked up the red backpack, the gift from Tommy for her journey.
Dulcea lifted the end of the staff and responded, "Zordon did? I guess we should be on our way." She then turned and began walking away.
Kim with a slight limp followed, "We will need to go slow."
Dulcea turned her head to ask why, however upon noticing the braces only responded, "But, of course."
The journey was mostly silent. Dulcea kept an eye on the girl. Even with the injuries she carried she moved with purpose, unwilling to fall back into self loathing. The warrior stopped and looked at a nearly vertical cliff face. The cliff seemed to go on to the left and right endlessly. It was also very tall, though the surface consisted of many hand and foot holds.
Just then a raven landed on the branch of a tree that was near the two women. It gave but a single caw when in a flash the cloaked woman's free arm was extended and hand open inches from Kimberly's face. Kim's eyes followed Dulcea's arm to see the bird embedded by a slender blade into the tree. As they watched, the raven's wings flapped one last time and gave a final sound. The bird began to melt leaving a slip of paper with kanji written on it. That, soon, was consumed in flames.
Kim looked back to Dulcea, wide eyed, "What was that?"
Dulcea started to undo her cloak, "The eyes of the darkness on this planet." She turned her head as she let the cloak drop, "Start climbing. I hate to rush you but this area is going to be crawling with kyonshi very soon."
Kimberly swallowed, "Alright. Be careful. As Zordon is so fond of saying, May the power protect you."
Dulcea gave a smile, "He does like saying that doesn't he? Now go. I don't want my charge hurt while in my care."
Kimberly nodded and began to climb up the side of the care to find each hand and foot hold. Dulcea brought her weapon down onto the surface of the ground. The blade ejected out of the end making the weapon a naginata.
Upon getting into her stance with the blade part of the pole-arm low, one could see the well built woman was garbed in a pair of green thigh high boots with tabi toes. Around her hips she wore a leather strap skirt. For a top she wore a leather mini-top and a leather bracer on her non dominant wrist. She wore a full leather armor sleeve on her dominant arm with a matching bracer at the wrist.
With a just a slight sound from the touching of feet on the branches, the fallen warriors flipped out of trees. Colors of their outfits ranged across the entire ranger spectrum. Reds, pinks, blues, yellows, blacks, greens and whites surrounded the warrior. With a snap of a branch they became a flurry of action.
With her eyes closed she swung back and cleaved a black in half. The undead being turned into dust. Dulcea slammed the end of the staff part of her weapon against the toe of the one that was in front of her and brought it up connecting with its jaw. That caused the blue to stumble back. Which gave her a chance to swing the weapon a full arch around clearing another four, two greens , a pink and a white. All four turned to dust before she placed the blade against the ground.
Kimberly's scream rang out causing Dulcea to look up. There a yellow clung to the cliff above the former pink ranger. As it dropped down, Dulcea threw her weapon with enough force to embed it through the kyonshi and deep into the bedrock.
Kim turned her head to see a red on the other side. She pushed off the cliff face catching the hilt of the weapon. Using her momentum she began to swing on it like an uneven bar. With a twist at the top of her swing she began to swing in the other direction. The red attempted to drop down on top of her but found itself caught in the jaw with her feet and flailed another 15 feet down to the ground. The impact turning it to a pile of ash.
Kimberly let go as the weapon loosened and began to fall catching herself back against the rock face. The weapon spun as it fell and split another pink down the middle as it embedded itself into the ground.
Dulcea pulled out two kunai from her boots and with a sweep sent a blue to the ground and stabbed it in the chest. A white ran up ready to attack and Dulcea through the other kunai into its chest, turning it into dust. The warrior ran and grabbed the shaft of her weapon and ran up the side of the cliff face. She jumped off turning in mid air and slashing a red in half as she landed it becoming another pile of ash.
Upon seeing Kimberly had made it to the top she grabbed her cloak. After she covered her body with it she turned to an owl and flew away from the growing crowd of undead creatures.
Kimberly pulled herself up and found that she had made it to a temple. The massive structure was in a disrepair but still very much in one piece. The owl landed beside her and in a flash of light returned to her form as Dulcea.
Kimberly looked over to the woman and asked, "What is this place?"
Dulcea looked over to her as she began walking to the temple, "My home. And as long as you are here, yours."
Kim turned around and looked over the Phaedos outlook. Upon seeing the grand forest and the ocean in the far off distance, she realized how lucky she had been to find this place.
