Author's Notes: I hope you guys enjoy chapter nine. As always reviews are appreciated.
Just to let you all know it may take a while to get chapter ten out. For those of you not following Legacy the reason for the delay is my hectic schedule over the next month or so. Next week I have some minor surgery scheduled on my hand and while it heals I don't know how much writing I'm going to be able to do. Shortly after that I'm going to be out of town for two weeks and there is a possibility that there's going to be something else added to my plate in August/September. (Yeah it's going to be a busy, CRAZY, next month or two). I'm going to start work on the new Legacy chapter this week. Hopefully I can work on it some and then it won't take too long before I can start typing again. Ideally I can squeeze that chapter out before I leave town and will have the next chapter of Return to Action ready to post by the first of October. It's possible that the Legacy chapter won't get posted until the end of September/first of October and then the Return To Action chapter two weeks later. I apologize in advance for what may be a long wait but I promise I will try to speed write the next chapter to make up for it :)
Return To Action
"Surprises"
Kim awoke on a Saturday morning, the smell of bacon and coffee permeating through the bedroom she shared with Tommy. It indicated that he was downstairs making breakfast, and that was a really nice surprise to wake up to. It had been a long time since Tommy made breakfast, since before the transmission from Phaedos that shook their peaceful existence and stripped any sort of normalcy their relationship had. Kim shook her head, thinking momentarily about how rangering had always been a part of their relationship and how normalcy was in all honesty odder than the chaos.
Of course they had yet to see the chaos that this term as a ranger would bring them. They had been back for a little over two weeks, with September slipping into October with little noise from the moon. As far as Billy could tell Cerlina was up there building her empire and paying Earth little to no attention. It almost didn't make sense; Cerlina was a powerful enough villain on her own, she didn't need to build a castle or a new army. Kim thought she was trying to get under her skin. She was sure that Cerlina thought of herself as the biggest cat in the jungle, playing with her prey and waiting to pounce when she would get the most out of it.
Although they hadn't had to fight any battles, Kim didn't let her team slack on her. She had Billy create simulations, much like the Astro Megaship's simudeck, where they would battle against Cryobots and monsters and anything else she thought they needed to be aware of. She wanted them to be familiar with the Sonic Force powers well before they had to test them in battle. She was glad that they practiced, she could hear the others talk about how it was weird to have powers again. The feeling was one you never forgot however when you don't battle for years then pick up a new morpher there is usually an adjustment period. She was learning to handle the powers with ease thanks to some of her training. Tommy also latched onto the powers quickly and told her later that the Sonic Crystal has powers not too far removed from the Dino Gems and he felt right at home.
Throwing the covers off of herself Kim stretched and tried to push away the thoughts of battle as she crawled out of bed to go down and meet her fiancé. Slowly she worked her way out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, sneaking up on Tommy and stepping on her toes to give him a kiss on the neck. "Good morning."
"Good morning beautiful." He replied as he turned and leaned down for a kiss on the lips. "Why don't you have a seat I'll bring breakfast over."
"Sounds good." Kim said as she headed over to the kitchen table and made herself comfortable. A few seconds later Tommy arrived with a plate of food and a cup of coffee, setting it down in front of her before going off to get his own.
Tommy grinned as he sat down. "So what do you think?"
"About breakfast?" Kim questioned as Tommy nodded in reply. She looked down at the stuffed omelet and the slices of bacon before her. "It certainly smells good."
"It's the Oliver specialty." Tommy replied. "You're guaranteed to love it."
Kim grinned. "We shall see." She said as she cut into the omelet
Tommy watched her take a bite before breaking in to his own breakfast. They sat in silence for a moment before Tommy decided he wanted to get to what was really on his mind. "So I've been thinking. Now that things have calmed down a bit we should start working on things for our wedding." They really hadn't gotten a chance to say two words about it since he proposed, and now was as good a time as any.
Kim looked up at him and thought for a moment. Although she was thrilled to be engaged to him she hadn't given the wedding a second thought since the mess with Cerlina began. But Tommy was absolutely right, they needed to talk about it. "I agree."
"Should we start with a date?" Tommy questioned
Kim had actually given this some thought the day he proposed. It was the only think she thought about in regards to the wedding before they got Dulcea's message. "I was thinking next July. I can get out of work anytime, and I know summer is easiest for you. Plus the kids will be home."
"I can go with that." Tommy replied. The work issue was minor in comparison with the grief the former Dino Thunder rangers would give him if he picked a time to get married when they couldn't be there. "Have you given any thought to who's going to be in the wedding? Or what we want to do?" He hadn't given too much thought to the groomsmen yet. He had ideas though, most of which were former rangers.
"No not really." Kim said. She hadn't even given any thought to the bridal party. She was pretty sure she'd end up asking Aisha and Trini but past that for the moment she had nothing. She didn't have any clue as to what she wanted to do except for one small thought. "I want our main color to be a shade of red."
"Red?" Tommy questioned a little surprised. "Not pink?" She had been the pinkest pink ranger he knew. He was pretty sure the color had heavy influence on her wardrobe well before she ever donned the ranger uniform.
"I haven't been pink in a long time." Kim replied referencing both the ranger color and her wardrobe. "Besides red represents both of us."
"I guess you're right." Tommy replied. He hadn't thought of it that way. It made him think of how proud of her he was. He was the only red whose future wife could sport red as a ranger color. Despite the fact that they could both be in charge she was still red.
"Other than that I don't know." She said with a shrug. "Maybe we should look into a wedding planner or something." Not that she wanted to pay for help, but between work and Cerlina she simply didn't have time to do it herself. She was hoping that she could get her mother or maybe some of the former female rangers involved as she wasn't even sure where to begin.
"Maybe." Tommy agreed. He certainly didn't know what to do and he was lacking a lot of spare time as well. He looked down at his half eaten omelet before looking up and Kim and smiling. "Come on let's finish breakfast. I have a surprise for you."
"Surprise?" Kim questioned. "What kind of surprise?"
Tommy laughed. "Well if I told you it wouldn't be much of a surprise would it?" he said as he grinned mischievously at her. He watched as Kim smiled back at him, then they both worked on finishing breakfast so they could figure out what exactly this surprise was all about.
Cerlina looked around at the palace that her minions had built. They had followed her specifications to the letter and everything was just the way she wanted it. It was going to be so much fun to capture Kimmie and bring her up here to torture her, all the while allowing her to watch while she systematically ripped her home world to shreds.
As she stood in the throne room and looked around Malizor entered and approached her. "What do you think?"
"It's too perfect." She said with a wicked grin. Now she was ready to go make Kimberly pay. She could have easily done it before, swooped in half assed and destroyed everything. But that wouldn't have been as much fun. She wanted hers to be the most glorious revenge in history. She wanted to use everything in her power to enjoy every moment of what she was about to do. She wanted it to be long and drawn out, torturing Kim mentally before physically giving her a beating.
She turned toward Malizor, her eyes wickedly flashing red. "Is the machine ready?" It was the last part of her plan.
"Follow me." Malizor replied. He had overseen the machine himself and there were things he was eager to show her. He headed out of the throne room with Cerlina hot on his heels. They weaved through a room or two before coming to a stop.
"This is it?" she asked looking the machine over
"It's the one belonging to Rita Repulsa." Malizor assured her. "With our adjustments of course."
Cerlina looked Finster's former monster and putty making machine over. It operated off of the same principals as it did years ago, only this time it was sleeker and stronger, able to create monsters from molds that were much more ferocious than anything Rita ever came up with. "Do we have someone to play with it?" she asked. She didn't want to busy herself or Malizor with the task and the Cryobots didn't have enough of their own intelligence to do it.
"We have sent for someone. A leech that once made monsters for Zarkan." Malizor replied. "Until then," he started to speak as he gestured to a shelf on the wall, "we have recovered some of Finster's old molds"
Cerlina looked at the shelf and took note of what was displayed up there. There was a small army of putties sitting there along with a small collection of monsters. She picked up a skeletal looking monster and smiled. "Perfect. What better way to start my revenge on Kimmie than by giving her a dreadful sense of déjà vu."
Cerlina then handed the sculpture to Malizor who nodded. "Would you like for us to run this through the machine?"
"While you're at it cook up some putties too." Cerlina added as she continued to think about what her first battle plan would be
"The putties weren't that strong to begin with. If Kimberly interferes she will be able to easily defeat them." Malizor pointed out. He hoped she understood they would be a waste of time.
"I'm sure she will." Cerlina agreed with a smile. "I don't need putties to destroy her. I want them to distract her, confuse her. Put yourself and the Cryobots on standby. When she thinks she's winning I want you to attack with everything you have. And once she knows she's been beaten we'll send our little monster friend down to take out our first target while she watches helplessly."
Malizor nodded. It was a decent idea, one that would throw Kimberly for a loop and devastate her depending on what the target was. "What part of her life are we attacking first?"
"A place she holds near and dear to her heart." Cerlina said with a laugh, heading out of the small room and leaving Malizor to work
Jason found himself lying on a bench in the small gym that was part of his apartment complex. He was out there lifting weights as part of his exercise routine, a routine he followed practically every day since he got his new powers.
He had to admit, it was nice to get back into working out. Not that he'd been a couch potato over the years but it was nothing like the way he trained when he was in high school. Shortly after his misadventure with Kim his life had gotten hectic and he started working out less and less until it became more of a chore than anything. It came down to the point where if he was lucky he'd hit the gym once a week.
Now that he was a ranger again he had made a promise to himself to get back in shape. It wasn't just for his sake it was for that of the team. When the fate of the world rested on their shoulders the last thing they needed was one of them lagging behind. It was obvious that everyone else stayed in mint condition over the years although he wasn't surprised. He and Rocky were the only two that hadn't been involved in the fight against evil in one way or another and Rocky ran karate schools which forced him to work out more than normal. It didn't matter though as he was quickly sculpting himself into a fighter once again.
He was glad that Cerlina had yet to attack as it was giving him some time. Although he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not as most bad guys didn't hesitate to pay Earth a visit and let them know they were there. Kim assured them that she wasn't like most bad guys, and that Cerlina would certainly plan and be precise, having a reason for everything she did. Cerlina was stronger, faster and smarter than anyone he'd faced before and her entire reason for attacking Earth was orchestrated based on her hatred and intense need for revenge against Kim.
That bothered Jason more than he let on for several reasons. The first one was fairly obvious. He'd always thought of Kim as a little sister growing up and he didn't want anything to happen to her. He was glad to be a ranger on her team, to help protect her and everything she cared about. Of course everything she cared about included a lot of things that Jason cared about which was another reason for concern. He didn't want to see Cerlina attacking their friends or their hometown. The most frightening reason was that the villains he'd faced before- Rita, Mondo, Zedd – had only been out to conquer Earth. That was quite a broad goal and they all seem to struggle to figure out how they were going to pin that down to a manageable starting point. They became easy, almost predictable in their actions. Cerlina was quite specific on what her targets were going to be and there was no telling where she was going to hit first or how.
With a sigh Jason increased the weights on the bar and went back to start lifting again. He tried to push everything out of his mind so he could focus on the task at hand. Before he had a chance to get started the new communicator on his wrist went off. Jason sat up and looked around, making sure the usually unoccupied gym was still empty. Satisfied that he was all alone he pulled his communicator up and spoke.
"Go ahead."
Billy's voice came through loud and clear. "You need to morph and get moving."
"Is this another one of Kim's drills?" Jason asked. He had teased Kim about her simulated exercises. She would page them and strange times and tell them they were needed for battle, and when they arrived they fought against simulated foes. He had to admit that it was good practice with their new powers and a good introduction to the enemy, but at the same time Kim was quite the little drill sergeant about it and Jason found it kind of funny.
"Nope this is the real thing. You need to hurry." Billy replied
"On my way." Jason said as he stood. The blinds were drawn in the gym and he heard no one outside the door. Deeming it safe Jason lifted his hands out in front of him.
"Sonic Crystal Activate!" he called the words that would reveal his power morphers. On each wrist appeared a piece of the morpher and he crossed one hand in front of the other over his chest, clinging the morphers together and listening as they locked into place. Once locked a surge of energy from the crystal surrounded him, morphing him into the white ranger as he teleported out.
Rocky walked out of the office of the law firm he had retained in his divorce settlement. The papers were signed and it was officially done. He was free of Marie. Of course his freedom had come at quite a cost to him and he wasn't sure if it was worth it. But now he could start over, and the shiny new communicator on his wrist was a reminder of his ability to build his life up the way he wanted it.
He wasn't starting completely from scratch although it certainly felt like it. She had been living in the house they bought when they first got married. He didn't mind, he didn't want to live there with those memories in the first place. Although she wouldn't be living in the house much longer as she couldn't afford to pay him for his half and she was going to have to sell and split the profit. Since they separated he was living in an apartment not much bigger than the one he had right after college.
Most of the belongings that were theirs he let her keep, including wedding gifts from his family and things they bought together. It just wasn't worth him arguing over. They tried to make a list of who got what and she had simply wanted everything. He now had very few possessions of his own and would have to save his money to repurchase items he once owned. That was going to be harder than he thought since the worst part of the whole deal was his financial situation.
At one point he owned four karate schools throughout California. All his schools did well and they were able to have a decent living situation because of it. The schools had been his, he owned the license to the franchise, and he built them all from the ground up. He was quite proud of what he accomplished. Marie made the argument that they were as much hers as they were his. She claimed that she was there every step of the way helping him get them off the ground. Although she was there he didn't know how much help she was. He vaguely remembered at one point suggesting a color to paint the offices at one of his newer schools.
But he couldn't prove what she did or didn't do and that was the problem. She pushed to profit share in all of his schools and to be able to continue to have a hand in running them. Rocky had a feeling it had more to do with her not being able to support herself on a kindergarten assistant teacher salary than her actually caring about the schools. The incomes of all the schools were similar and Rocky's lawyer suggested that he retain ownership of two schools and he give her ownership of two schools. He wasn't thrilled with the idea but it would keep them from having to work together on a day to day basis. Although she wanted the two local schools he pushed to keep the Angel Grove and Stone Canyon schools in his possession as he opened both of those up before they got married.
It was decided that the two that were opened up after they got married would go to Marie and he'd keep the other two. It was also decided that any other schools opened as part of that franchise would have to be jointly run and profits equally shared. Rocky wanted to continue to spread his chain but he was going to have to all but start from scratch. He'd have to license a new business, eventually technically closing both schools that were in his possession and opening them back up as the new schools. It was frustrating as he wanted to keep his personal life private. But he would have to let his students know what was going on or else he'd risk losing them. His only comfort was the fact that Marie had no clue how to run a school. Eventually both her schools would close the doors and he could buy the properties and start from scratch.
He was almost to his car when he heard a voice call his name. As he turned he was surprised to see his ex-wife making her way toward him. "What do you want?" he asked harshly. She was the last person he wanted to talk to.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry. For all that happened." Marie said as she got closer
"You're sorry?" Rocky repeated raising his voice. "For what? Taking half my things? Taking my two schools? Or how about taking my family?"
"You seem to have forgotten how you're the one who took everything from me." Marie responded raising her voice in reply. "Like all those years in the prime of my life I wasted on you. I did everything for you and all you did was ignore me and pick fights."
Rocky shook his head. Here they were arguing. Again. "I never ignored you and you were just as good at starting fights as I was." He pointed out
"Well it doesn't matter now anyway." Marie said not being able to reply with any sort of comeback. "It's over now anyway and you… you've just ruined my life. I was the perfect wife. I hope you're happy."
"Maybe you weren't perfect for me. Maybe that's the problem." Rocky snapped. "And my life's not so peachy either." He added for good measure
"Maybe I wasn't perfect for you because you're just an asshole." Marie yelled
Rocky crossed his arms and took a deep breath. He had better things to do and this argument needed to end. "You know Marie you're not the little saint that you make everyone think you are and one day everyone is going to realize that." He knew he crossed the line when he spoke. She had always been good to him while they were married, but he'd seen the way she could be sweet to people's faces while conniving behind their backs. It was much like the way she tried to tear him apart in their divorce.
Marie reached over and slapped him across the face. "You son of a bitch!"
At that moment Rocky's communicator went off and he'd never been so happy for anything in his entire life. "Goodbye Marie." He said calmly, turning to unlock the front door of his car.
As he turned she started whacking him in the back with her purse. "Don't you walk away from me now!"
"We're through. The papers are signed and I don't want to hear from you again." Rocky said as he climbed into the driver's seat and shut the door. As he started the car Marie whacked on the window a few times for emphasis.
He drove away and once he was completely out of sight he stopped at the first secure location he could find. He answered the page and was quickly alerted that their battles were starting for real. Shifting into ranger mode he morphed and teleported to the scene.
Kim found herself standing at the head of her ranger team facing her second surprise of the day. The first had been Tommy's romantic weekend for two that he had planned. She really liked that surprise. This surprise, well this surprise was far from anything she would be expecting today, tomorrow or this century for that matter. This surprise involved a group of Rita's putties swarming around Angel Grove High School.
She wasn't surprised that Cerlina had picked Angel Grove High as a target. It was there Kim first became a ranger and met her closest friends, including the man she'd agreed to marry. So if she was going to systematically destroy everything Kim, the high school was as good a place as any to start. What she was surprised with was the putties, a group of warriors so inept that even Rita and Zedd quit using them. She had a bad feeling about this. It was too easy and Cerlina knew it.
"Déjà vu." Jason was the first of the group to speak
"Yeah, well, you guys know what to do." Kim said. Half the team had experience with Rita's putties and for the rest, Rocky had fought Zedd's putties and Karone and Zhane certainly have seen worse. "Just keep your eyes peeled."
"Will do." Tommy replied. He wasn't too thrilled with the idea that someone as powerful as Cerlina would send putties after them either. But they were attacking the high school so for now there was only one thing they could do. He joined the other Sonic Force rangers as they ran at the band of putties.
Tommy watched as they all slung the putties around, breaking them into putty pieces as though it was nothing. He didn't know how the others felt, but for him after facing tengas and cogs and tyrannodrones, beating up on the putties was nothing more than a children's game. Pieces were flying everywhere and their numbers were quickly dwindling. It was starting to seem as though the fight would be over soon. Just as they were putting on the final touches and starting to relax, a new breed of warrior joined the battle.
The Sonic Force rangers were suddenly surrounded by Cryobots, who were weaving their way through the remnants of the putties to launch attacks on unsuspecting team members. "Watch out, Cryobots!" Kim yelled hoping her team was prepared
"They're not the only things you have to watch out for." Malizor threatened as he hit Kim from behind. He was prepared to fight hard but he already knew this battle wasn't going to turn out to be the easy victory Cerlina had hoped for. They weren't aware that Kim had recruited a ranger team or that she had gone looking for the Sonic Crystal. He knew that Cerlina was not going to be happy when he returned.
Kim stood and turned. It had been a cheap shot on Malizor's part although she shouldn't expect the demon warrior to play fair. She glared at him and stood strong. This time she had ranger powers and it would be a more even fight than the last. "Don't forget about what you have to watch out for." Kim said calling for the Sonic Sword, her power weapon. With a determined look in her eye she ran forward as Malizor reached for his own weapon. Leaping toward each other their swords clanged together and they landed on the ground, the battle between the two beginning.
As Kim started her fight with Malizor the battle around the rangers was heating up. The team was quickly learning that despite the accuracy of the simulations it was impossible to completely prepare yourself for Cerlina's Cryobots. Although their first battle was easy it had taken some time to throw around the massive number of putties and they simply weren't ready to jump from that battle into one with an enemy much quicker and much tougher.
If the Cryobots weren't enough, Karone quickly found another thing for the team to worry about as a skeleton like monster landed near the school and started shooting beams out of its eyes in an attempt at destruction. "Sonic Sais!" she yelled as the weapons fell into her hand. She ran up to the monster and slashed it from behind.
Surprisingly the monster turned around and even more surprisingly he just let her hit him. Without much force he collapsed into a pile of bones at her feet. "Huh. That was easy." She said as she couldn't help but think it was a little too easy.
Out of the corner of his eye Jason saw Karone and the foe she was trying to fight back. Knocking two Cryobots back and leaping over a third he ran over to the pink ranger. "Careful Karone!" he hollered as for the second time that day he was being overcome by déjà vu. "It's Bones." He said as though it meant something to her
Karone looked at him as he approached her. "Yeah I know he fell into a pile of bones."
"No that's not what I." Jason stopped short as the bones disappeared. "He's going to reform." He said quickly as he looked around for the skeleton of his past. Suddenly beams came shooting at the duo from out of nowhere, sending them flying to the ground and trying to duck for cover.
"Where are they coming from?" Zhane asked running over to see if he could be any assistance
"Over here." A now visible and in one piece Bones called from behind as he shot more lasers out of his eyes. "You can't get rid of me that easily."
"Should we fire on him again?" Karone asked. There were three rangers here this time and maybe that would do the trick.
"No I've fought him before. There's only one way to destroy him." Jason said recalling Billy's stealing his head and Trini's throwing it into lava in order to make his skeleton implode.
"What's that?" Zhane asked
Jason grunted as Bones' head removed itself and started floating around so it could shoot at them better. "We need his head."
Shots were flying out of Bones' eyes when out of nowhere Rocky hit him from behind, causing his head to fall to the ground. "Grab it!" Jason yelled fearing this would be the only opportunity to get a hold of it
Rocky jumped into action and got a hold of the head. "Now what?"
None of the others were completely sure where to take it next but fortunately someone else had an idea. Kim had seen Bones arrive on the battlefield, and had seen Rocky grab his head. She knew she could easily teleport herself with it into a volcano, the only problem would be getting away from Malizor. She gave him one swift kick and ran toward Rocky. "Toss it over here!" she called out as Bones' body was making a play for the head.
"Oh no you don't!" Malizor growled as the blue ranger threw the head in the air. But he didn't get a chance to get close to Kim as the black ranger hit him in the head with his spear and caught him off guard, causing him to fall back and hit the ground. He looked up just in time to see Kim teleport away, and a few seconds later the skeletal body of Bones fell to the ground in a mini explosion.
Things were definitely not going the way Cerlina had hoped for. They were going to have to regroup and rearrange their plans for her to get her revenge. One thing was for certain. There was no need staying here unprepared and dealing with a strong ranger team. "This isn't over by a long shot." Malizor threatened as he stood up and teleported away
Cerlina stood in her throne room with her arms crossed. What was a fool proof plan had turned out to be a complete and utter failure. Bones' lasers were much stronger than any Rita ever equipped him with. He would have certainly turned the school to rubble. She was disappointed she didn't have the ability to make him grow, he could've just stepped on the school. That was something she was going to have to learn.
The main reason the school still stood was that there was a Power Rangers team to face off against. She couldn't believe that Kimmie had managed to pull a team together, and it was even more of a surprise that she had the Sonic Force team. Everyone good and evil was under the impression that the Sonic Crystal was merely a myth. This created more than one problem for her.
Her revenge was suddenly not going to be as simple to execute. She couldn't go after everything Kim loved as easily if there were six power rangers in her way. She was going to have to rework her strategy. And if she was right from watching this battle there was at least one other Sonic Force ranger on the original team, and who knew who else had experience with Rita. Meaning they would all certainly remember her monsters weaknesses. As powerful as she could make Finster's old molds, she wouldn't be able to rid them of their weaknesses without tinkering with them first. That was something that would have to wait until this monster making creature Malizor knew arrived. Of course if he was as good as she hoped he was she was going to scrap everything Rita had and make some rather vile creatures of her own.
Cerlina sighed. It looked like it was going to be time to jump in and get to work.
Kim sat out in the grass in the park as Tommy went to work on recreating his romantic surprise. As excited as she was for the romance, she now found herself not in the mood. The battle with Cerlina had shifted her day, but she was trying hard not to let that show to Tommy.
The battle hadn't been what she expected, although she should've known not to expect the ordinary where Cerlina was concerned. She couldn't believe she'd throw putties at them. She suspected it was intended on teasing her somehow, and that there was some devious reason behind it. She was surprised she pulled out the first monster she ever faced as a ranger and sent him to destroy her high school.
She was glad they had a team. If it weren't for the Sonic Force Rangers she knew she wouldn't have won that battle. She might have survived the battle; in fact she was almost certain Cerlina would want to make sure she was around long enough to watch her demolish all the people and the places she cared about. But she was almost certain she wouldn't have been able to fight against Malizor and save the high school.
The most positive thing that came out of the battle was the realization that Cerlina didn't yet have the ability to save a monster and make it grow. Billy was working hard on getting zords together, but what he had were just prototypes. If it came down to it he would've let them give the zords a try but he was still working hard and getting them functional and battle ready and neither of them would've been comfortable throwing them out into battle. She was thankful for Billy and his intergalactic contacts, if it weren't for them they wouldn't have a shot at zords to begin with.
With a sigh Kim turned and smiled at Tommy who was making his way back over toward her. Her battle with Cerlina over Earth had begun. It was Kim's team versus Cerlina's team, and Kim's team had to win. A loss would cost her everything and it was simply unacceptable. She would do everything in her power to keep her friends and family safe and to protect the planet that Zordon had chosen to help so many years ago.
