Chapter Four: An Explanation
Tommy just looks amazed. Callista never expressed any sort of concern in the past, so why was she now?
"Purple Ranger, I apologize for keeping all this from you. It's entirely my fault. I should have allowed Tommy to contact you every once in a while. I didn't know it would get this out of control." Zordon apologizes.
Both Olivers look at the intergalactic being in shock. Everyone begins to argue, Tommy with Katherine, Adam with Tanya and Rocky with Jason, Zordon and Alpha 5 simultaneously.
"I can't concentrate. You know what? I'm just going to leave. Obviously you guys don't want another Ranger. You already have six. Adding another will be too much trouble. "Callista sighs, preparing to teleport back to the Youth Center.
Everyone stops when they hear this, except for Tommy, who's oblivious that his twin's upset. Jason puts his hand on Callista's shoulder, but she shrugs it off. She knows when she's not wanted.
"Callista, what are you talking about? It's not going to be too much trouble to add another Zeo Ranger to the team. Oddly enough, six Zeo crystals went through the time portal. I just didn't want to mention it until I believed the time was right. I've waited too long to have you toss the chance to fight with me aside like you did in 1994. I can't allow you. I made a promise to the original Crane that I would convince you to re-join the team, but you've obviously already made your decision." Tommy states.
Man, I really need to say something. There must be a way to convince her. Wait, Kim. Of course! Katherine thinks.
"Zordon, I think I know a way that we can get Callista to re-join the team. Alpha, I need you to contact Kimberly. I've decided I'm going to resign as Zeo Ranger I: Pink. If Callista really preferred having Kimberly here and she's the only way Callista will re-join, I might as well give Kimberly my morpher. "Katherine decides.
A dark pink column of light teleports Kimberly to the Power Chamber. She's unaware of Katherine's spur-of-the-moment decision.
"Oh, hey, guys. Wait, why does everyone look upset and who's the girl with the lavender hair? She kind of looks familiar but I don't recognize her." Kimberly states.
"Maybe that's because somebody's standing in my way. Oh my goodness! Kimberly, I can't believe it's you!" Callista exclaims.
Kimberly looks at the new girl a little confused before it finally hits her. She feels Katherine slip the pink Zeo sub-crystal into her hand.
