Chapter 7: A Turn for the Worse
Tommy teleported into the command center with Kim and Kat. Tommy sat Kim down and the medical bed so Alpha and Adam could scan for injuries.
"You have done an excellent job in bringing back Kimberly unharmed. Now I must ask for you to remove Katherine's morpher and communicator" said Zordon.
Tommy didn't say a word. He tore his eyes away from Kim and turned towards Kat. He removed her morpher and communicator, and then handed them to Alpha, who placed them in a box.
"So, what's gonna happen to Kat now?" asked Adam.
"I will spray Katherine with a memory potion that will erase all memories of being a power ranger and the identities of the other rangers" stated Alpha.
"Will she remember what happened between her, Tommy and Kim?" asked the former gold ranger.
"Yes Jason. Katherine must live with what she has done" answered Zordon.
Then Alpha teleported Kat out of the Command Center.
"Where did she go?" asked Tanya.
"I have teleported her to the park" replied Alpha.
Tommy walked over to Adam, who was examining a still unconscious Kimberly.
"How she doing Adam?" asked a worried Tommy.
"I don't know what happened between her and Kat, but I do know that Kim took another hit to the head. She has a bruise on her forehead that seems to be less than an hour old. I don't think she'll wake up anytime soon, maybe not till morning" explained Adam.
"So I'll take her back to the hotel. Alpha, can you teleport us to my car?" asked Jason.
"Right away Jason" replied the little robot.
"Hey Jase, can you keep me updated?" asked Tommy.
"Sure man" replied Jason.
After that, Alpha teleported Jason and Kim to Jason's Car. Adam walks over to Tommy and places a hand on his shoulder.
"She'll be okay Tommy. Kimberly's tough" said Adam.
"I know. I just hope that she's tough enough" retorted Tommy.
In Jason's car….
Jason is driving Kim back to the hotel when he noticed a bright light shining in front of him. He tried swerving to avoid collision, but the other car purposely turned into them. CRASH! Jason didn't gain any injuries because his airbag deployed. However, Kim was not as lucky. Her airbag did not open and she hit her head on the dashboard. Then, Jason's shock turned into worry as he noticed that Kim was bleeding. He got out of the car and ran to the other side. He opened Kim's door and unbuckled her. Realizing the damage done from the crash, Jason took out his cell phone and dialed 911.
"911, what's your emergency?" asked the woman on the phone.
"Yes, there was an accident on Angel Grove Road. My friend has been really hurt and I'm taking her to the hospital, but I don't know about the other driver" replied Jason.
"What is your name sir?"
"My name is Jason Scott."
"Okay. We are sending someone over right now."
"Thank you" said Jason as he hung up the phone.
Jason pulled Kim out of the car and picked her up. He then began to hurry to the hospital up the road.
In the hospital…
Jason rushes into the hospital.
"Help, my friends been in an accident" yelled Jason.
A bunch of nurses and a doctor rush over to Jason with a gurney. Jason places Kim on the gurney and the doctor begins to examine her.
"What happened?" asked the doctor.
"We were in a car crash and her airbag didn't open" replied Jason.
"Take her to examine room 4 and start running some test. MRI, cat scan, the works" said the doctor to his staff.
The nurses nodded and took Kim away. The doctor turned towards Jason.
"We'll let you know what happens" said the doctor; he then went to join his staff.
Jason walks to a private area and contacts Alpha and Zordon.
"Alpha, call all the rangers to the Command Center, even Rocky" commanded Jason.
"Right away Jason" replied Alpha.
Then, Jason teleported to the Command Center.
Outside the juice bar…
The gang is getting ready to leave, as Ernie is closing up. Then, their communicators went off.
"What is it Alpha?" asked Tommy.
"Jason needs all of you in the Command Center right away, including Rocky" replied the robot.
"We're on our way" said Tommy; then they teleported to the Command Center.
In the Command Center…
"What's wrong?" asked Tommy as soon as they entered the Command Center.
"Tommy I need you contact Zack and Trini. Rocky, contact Aisha and Adam, help Alpha in contacting Billy on Aquitar. Tell them to teleport here right away" ordered Jason.
Without question, Tommy, Rocky and Alpha did as they were told. In a flash of blue, black and yellow, Trini, Zack, Billy and Aisha appeared.
"Thanks guys for coming" said Jason.
"Sure Jase. What's wrong?" asked Billy.
"It's Kimberly. She's in the hospital"
"WHAT! WHY!" yelled everyone in the Command Center.
"There was a car accident."
Everyone started asking Jason a million and one questions. Tommy got them all to be quiet.
"What happened?" asked Tommy, worry all over his face.
"I was driving Kim back to the hotel and this car was driving right toward us. So I moved trying to avoid collision, but the other driver purposely turned into us. I'm fine because of my airbag, but Kim's didn't open and she hit her head on the dashboard. I dropped her off at the hospital and came here to tell you guys. I should be heading back now" explained Jason.
"We're coming with you" insisted Trini.
"Please tell Kimberly that we hope she makes a full recover soon" said Zordon.
"Give Kimberly a hug for me" said Alpha.
"We will" said Jason.
And with that, they teleported to the hospital.
"Do you think Kimberly will be okay Zordon?" asked the worried robot.
""I hope so Alpha. Kimberly has a lot of people who care about her and are wishing for her to pull out of this" replied Zordon.
"Oh, I hope you're right."
