Kelly began to slowly walk backwards, fear overcoming her. She had read the stories, seen the documentaries about what Ivan Ooze did to Angel Grove. This was the monster that haunted her dreams all throughout her childhood.
As she was backing up, however, she looked down at her wrist, and she saw the bracelet that her brother had gotten her before her first big high school karate tourney. It was white gold and had a six emeralds and six diamonds on it. The inscription on it said, "Fight the Good Fight Every Moment."
Kelly found a new resolve after looking at the bracelet. She took a step forward and stood her ground. "Where is my brother?" She hissed, anger overcoming here.
Ivan looked shocked at first that Kelly had stood up to him, but then he laughed. "Don't worry, we're taking real good care of him; his friends too."
Kelly's heart stopped. "Friends?"
"Well, you probably know this by now, but your brother was a Power Ranger, and we've got him and some of the other former rangers up at our place. You may know them. Do the names Aisha, Adam, Rocky, Kimberly, and Jason ring a bell?" Ivan asked, chuckling a bit as he spoke.
"You son of a gun, let them go!" Kelly yelled. Before she realized what she was doing, she threw a punch right across Ivan's face.
Ivan looked at Kelly in disbelief then smiled. "My turn." He said, as he hit Kelly with a bolt of lightning, knocking her 10 feet back.
Kelly grabbed her chest, trying to catch her breath. The pain she was feeling was unlike anything she had ever experienced.
Ivan walked over to Kelly, and as he tried to lift her up, Kelly kicked him in the chest and rolled away.
Ivan laughed at her. "Kelly, sweetie, you can't win. Why are you even trying?"
"Guess I'm just a little headstrong." Kelly said, much louder than earlier, as she scooted across the ground.
John was hidden behind a giant rock with the others, when he heard the signal. "'Headstrong', that was it. Let's go." He said.
The other 5 rushed to where Kelly was, as John instantly took a defensive stance in front of her.
"Ooze, you'd better let Tommy go, now!" John demanded.
Ivan laughed. "Yeah, and what are you going to do if I don't? I have the power coins. And, I'm going to turn the coins' energies evil. I'm going to kill the former rangers, then use the evil energy to resurrect them, and they will be completely, 100% evil."
"Yeah, well, you know those Power Coins you got. Well…." Ryan started.
"They're ours, and we're going to get them back." Kelly interrupted, rising to her feet and putting her hand on Ryan's chest, silencing him.
"Well, they'll be on the moon with us. Good look getting up there to get them. Bye, bye kiddies." He said, as he quickly disappeared.
Logan looked at Kelly in disbelief. "Why didn't we just morph and kick his purple people eatin' butt back to wherever it is that he came from?"
"Yeah, I could kill him for hitting you with lightning. Are you okay?" John asked, extremely concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine. But, the reason we didn't morph is because if he knew those coins were fake, he'd have no reason to keep our siblings alive. He'd just kill them." Kelly said, shaking her head.
Rachel looked at Kelly, fear written across her face. "Siblings? What do you mean siblings?"
Kelly sighed, "He's got the others too. All of our siblings, and he's going to kill them all and try to bring them back as evil rangers."
Megan put her hand over her mouth. "Oh my gosh! What are we going to do?" She asked, as she buried her face into Ryan's chest, crying.
Ryan wrapped his arms around her, but couldn't comfort her. All he could do was whisper "Rocky."
Rachel took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying desperately to keep it together.
Logan turned away from the group and ran his hands through what little hair he had.
John became so overcome with emotion that he just sat down where he was. He put his head in his hands and started to rock back and forth.
Kelly kneeled down next to him and comfortingly put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, J, we'll get 'Macho Man' back. I promise." She had always called Jason "Macho Man." He had always been just like another brother to her. When Tommy left, he put Jason in charge of keeping Kelly safe.
Jason never let Tommy down either. He went out of his way to spend time with Kelly and keep an eye on her. He helped train her for karate tourneys and even helped her learn how to drive. And, after her now ex-boyfriend cheated on her, Jason "took care of it." Kelly still wasn't sure what exactly he did or said, but it worked. That guy never bothered Kelly again.
John looked up at Kelly, and shook his head. "I can't lose him K. I just can't."
"And you won't. We're gonna get Macho Man and Tommy back. I promise." Kelly said, weakly smiling.
"K and J all the way, right?" John asked.
"Yep. Shoot to thrill, play to kill." She said, as she offered her hand and helped him up.
"Alright guys. We don't have time for the sad sacking. Rita and Ooze have no idea that we're Power Rangers. So, let's get back to the Command Center and figure out how to get to the moon, so we can teach those punks a lesson." Kelly said.
The others nodded as they walked over towards Kelly, anger quickly replacing where their sorrow had just been.
They all teleported back to the Command Center, with no clue what to do next.
But, as soon as they reached the Command Center, the rangers instantly began bickering.
"Zordon, teleport us to the moon, now." Ryan said.
"No way dude. We can't go yet. We don't have a plan." John replied.
"So, what you just want to sit here and let our siblings die? We've got to go, now." Megan let her two cents be known.
Logan shook his head. "John's right, we go in smart, or we don't go in at all."
"And let our siblings die while we try to figure out the best way to go about this?" Rachel asked.
John sighed, "No, we just slow down for two seconds and talk about this."
Ryan pointed his finger at John, "Look, just because you don't care about Jason as much as we care about our siblings, doesn't…"
"Excuse me!?!" John said, moving towards Ryan.
The two sides were about to erupt, when Kelly decided enough was enough. She put on her best "leader" face and turned towards the others.
"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" She yelled.
Everyone became silent and looked at her.
"If you guys weren't so busy fighting, you would have heard Zordon say that we don't have the energy to teleport 6 people past Rita's defenses, let alone teleport 12 people back. So, why don't we stop fighting, and start being productive?"
Everyone looked towards the ground, realizing how stupid they had been acting.
Ryan looked at John, "Sorry bro, I didn't mean what I said. I know you and Jase are tight. I'm just real worried about Rock."
John shook his head. "Hey, don't worry bout it. I know you just want to get up there."
"You two done with your chick flick moment? Cause if you are, we should probably get working." Kelly said.
Everyone nodded. "Let's do this."
"Good. Okay. Rachel, Megan. I want you two to check for our siblings. Make sure that we aren't getting our legs pulled by Ooze. So, check their houses, then check where they work. Rocky and Jason own the Juice Bar/Youth Center, Aisha just opened the Animal Hospital on Main Street, Adam coaches soccer and is a Guidance Counselor at the school. Kim teaches Gymnastics classes and is a secretary at the school. Tommy's still working at Reefside High."
"Got it." The girls said, as the Command Center was flooded with pink and yellow lights as they teleported.
"Ryan, I want you to look through our database. I want to know every single weapon and feature we have while morphed."
"On it." Ryan said as he went to one of the computers.
"Logan, I want you to search the county and try to find an energy source large enough to teleport us up there. If you can't find any energy readings large enough in the county, then look at the state. If nothing comes up, keep expanding the search till you find something."
"Sure thing." He turned and began typing away on the computer.
"John, there's a blueprint of the moon base for Rita and Zed in our files. I want you to look through it, and see which rooms are possible holding areas for our siblings. I want 6 rooms at the most. Read the descriptions, narrow it down."
"Alright K." He winked, as he went to a local computer.
"And what are you going to do Kelly?" Zordon asked.
Kelly smiled. "I'm gonna go check out the zords. I've got an idea on how to rescue them, but it's gonna involve the Zords."
