I'm feeling a little creative, so I thought I put out another drabble for you. Keep in mind, I'm taking some creative liberty with that episode from season 1, "Gung Ho!", so you're gonna have to bear with me on this. I'm promise you, it's a good one.

Enjoy and happy reading!

Lots of love, hugs and kisses from your resident writer and friend, Nina!

Chapter ten: Coming To Her Aid

Jason had to hold in his breath as he watched his beloved laying on the playground sand; with Kimberly doing her best to keep the newly formed super putties at bay. Even as the original pink ranger was kicking them away, they keep coming at a rapid pace, much stronger than the regular putties the rangers were used to fighting.

"I'll get Trini," Billy Cranston, the original blue ranger said as he, Tommy Oliver, Jason and Zack ran right through the playground. Jason, realizing that he had to fight the putties, silently encouraged his friend to get Trini to safety as the four male rangers disbursed.

As Kimberly kept kicking the putties away from her and Trini, Billy showed up and quickly took over, leaving Kim to fend off another super putty, who has decided to go after her. However, just as Billy was helping Trini up on her feet, out of nowhere, a putty came up right behind him and before he could have time to react, he was kicked in the back of his head. Trini screamed as she watched her genius friend falling face first in the sand; seemingly knocked out cold.

Jason saw the whole thing and his breath caught in his throat as he watched her trying to crawl over to Billy, but, because her back was still sore after getting hit with the wheel swing, she was having a tough time moving. Suddenly, without warning, he ran right over to her, reached down and scooped her up in his arms, just as Zack jumped off the jungle gym and ran right over to them.

"I'll help Billy, you two get out of here!" he said. Jason nodded and proceeded to run as far as his legs would let him go, with Trini cradled safely in his arms.

However, a couple of super putties surrounded Jason, leaving him at a disadvantage. Trying to figure out what to do next, he gently lowered Trini down onto her feet and proceed to stand right in front of her, in fighting mode. It was the only way to protect his girlfriend.

"Stand close to me while I dispose of these clay brains," he whispered in her ear. She nodded her head and kept close to him as a putty came charging at them.

Even as her back's hurting, Trini wasn't gonna stand by and watched her boyfriend being pummeled, so as Jason was fending of the putties that were charging at him, another one came right at her.

To her credit, she somehow managed to fend him off, but it was short lived. Another super putty came out of nowhere and grabbed her from behind; but, she stumped down on his foot hard, causing him to release her from his grip. The super putty that was in front of her tried to lunge at her, but Jason kicked the putty he was fighting right at his cohort, causing both of them to collide on the ground.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he ran right over to Trini, who was trying to dust the dirt off her clothes.

"I'm fine, Jase. Let's get out of here while we have the chance," she told him. She reached over and grabbed his hand to prove her point.

"I agree. Maybe Zordon will give us the answers we're looking for," he replied, squeezing her hand gently. Together, they ran over to the swings, just as the rest of the rangers joined them and they huddled right in front of the swings.

"Let's get to the command center and see if Zordon can help us," Jason declared as he pressed the button on his communicator. The rest of them did the same and, a few seconds later, six streaks of light appeared and they were out of the playground.

It has been an exhausting day, indeed, but there was more work to be done.

Being a power ranger was tough!

Coming up in the next chapter: Asking Her to the Dance. Stay tuned!

Next drabble will be my take on "The Green Candle, pt. II"; you know after Tommy finally asked Kim to the dance. I know a story was done on it already, but this is my take, okay?

More coming your way soon. I'm telling you, the ideas are just flowing out of my head concerning these two, it's ridiculous lol!

Please review!
