Chapter 10: The Perfect Weapon

Trini stabbed the needle with lightning quick speed into Kat's arm and she dropped to the floor quickly. Tonya gave Trini a look of disbelief as the two hoisted Kat's limp body onto the table/bed. Being a ranger had increased both female's strength.

"What?" Trini asked as she took out another needle. She wiped the spot clean and stabbed her again, and injected the liquid medicine into Kat's arm.

"Nothing Trini. Its just Kat's been in a terrible fight and……." Trini cut her off.

"Look I just sedated her, and the second needle was to relieve her pain. We don't want her ass waking up hysterical. Excuse my French." She pushed a button near the door that was for the intercom system. "Tommy, Kat's in Sick Bay. Get down here now."

"Will she be okay?"

"Yeah, but its likely she'll be out for hours. Tell Tommy that when he gets here. Bye." She walked out. She had special plans for someone, or rather with someone.

Tonya sat alone with Kat until, Tommy arrived, and then she too went away to take a shower and try to get some sleep.

Billy sat in the power chamber's sub levels and thought. He hadn't had much luck in discovering exactly what the prophecy was talking about, and right now all he wanted was a soft bed to sleep in. He hadn't been to sleep in two days but it felt like an eternity. Sighing he rubbed his eyes, and as he did so he heard the doors slid open and in walked Tonya Sloan. She looked about as restless as he did.

"Hi, Billy." She smiled and moved to meet him. He offered her a seat and she took it.

He then noticed that she was dressed in a tank top and pajama bottoms. "I couldn't sleep. Decided to visit....hope you don't mind to much." Tonya smiled again. She knew how much Billy valued his privacy above the other rangers.

"No, I don't mind," he returned the smile. "I'm just tired is all. I've been working none stop on this prophecy and its beginning to get on my last nerve. I wish Zordon would have left a manual or something. Or maybe if Alpha would have survived the virus Rita used, God…………..there are so many maybes. Maybe Cestria will love me some day." He stood. Tonya invoked these emotions in him. He didn't know why it was so easy to talk to her. He leaned his head against the cool cement. Moments later he felt Tonya lean against his back and her arms encircled him.

"Billy, your exhausted and you need to sleep."

"Are you saying this as a concerned friend or a potential lover?" He didn't know exactly where that came from but he needed to know.

She was stunned but she found herself wanting to answer him. She didn't know whether she wanted to play it safe or to see what dangerous looked like.

"What if I said lover?"

Trini walked into Jason's quarter's wearing nothing but yellow lingerie. Her black hair was pinned up and ringlet seemed to cascade around her face. She and Jason had been hiding this affair from everyone, and she didn't think it was any of their business.

"How's Kat?" he asked first thing putting aside the book he'd been reading.

"What? I come in here and all you can think to ask is how Kat is doing." Trini crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"Well I am concerned. Shit Trini, she is a team member."

"Well" she smiled. "The bitch is doing fine."

"Trini, what has gotten into you? First you sedate her, and then you call her a bitch. Its like you've changed." Jason stood and came to her.

"Or maybe Jason I'm not buying into this little act that Katherine has going. She's hiding something and I can feel it. I've been a ranger long enough to know that I should trust my feeling. But the only time they seemed to be wrong was the one moment I gave myself to you completely…………….." she was interrupted by the intercom coming on with Zack's voice.

"Hey, Jay, is Trini with you?" Zachary asked, knowing full well that she was.

"Yeah, this is Trini, what's wrong?" she asked.

"You need to get down here to here to the Sick Bay. Kat's having some type of seizure." He clicked off after that.

Jason Lee Scott stared down at Trini, and her brown almond ones starred back at him. "Are you going to help her?"

"Give me a reason to."

"Because Trini, she's a fellow ranger. And because that's not the type of person that you are."

She smirked turning to leave. "You have no clue what type of person I really am."

"Well are you going to at least put something on over that. I mean everyone's going to know about us."

"I don't care what they know." He followed her out of the room, and made their way to Kat.

Trini walked into the room where Zack, and Tommy were. They both gawked at her, and looked to Jason who just shook his head.

"Well, what's the problem?" Trini asked surveying Kat's limp body once more.

"She just calmed down but I think she was having a seizure," Tommy voiced his concern. He couldn't stop starring at her chest and wondered when her body had become so tan.

"Well I'll check her vitals. It might be an allergic reaction to the medicine I gave her," Trini said. "Jason get me a lab coat, while I wash up. Oh and Tommy............ stop starring at my chest."

Jason did as she asked and walked past Tommy. He didn't like the way Tommy was starring either but didn't comment.

Kim was angry. And that didn't even begin to cover how she was feeling. So as she called out her zord, she started to feel better. It was like Serpentera, gigantic, metal black, and it was beautiful.

She flipped the power coin between her fingers. The design etched onto it was that of a dragon. "Black Metal Dragon, do my bidding! Destroy Angel Grove!" She walked away smiling, she had some unfinished business to attend to and she needed to do it now.

Clutching the power coin she became a black streak of light and landed in the back yard of Katherine Hillard's house. A tree loomed over the new pink ranger's house. It was just perfect for what Kimberly needed to do. Quickly she scaled the tree and stopped on the branch that led over to the room with a balcony. Kim had never been to Kat's house ever before but she knew instinctively that this had to be her room. "Black Dragon Light Beam!" she called and lights flooded from her helmet seconds later. It showered the darkened room with light and Kimberly saw all of the pink. Yes, this was Kat's room. As she climbed in she heard the monster alert in Angel Grove go off, only she knew it wasn't a monster.

"Is it a monster?" Tommy asked as Adam, Rocky, and Aisha rushed into the room.

"Um……no." Aisha glanced at Kat. "It's a zord."

"What?" Jason looked confused.

"Actually it's the Black Dragon's zord," Rocky said.

"Okay," Tommy said. "Zack you take Adam and the others. Find Tonya and lead an assault on the Black Dragon. I'm really sure that this is just a plan to draw us out. Me and Jason are staying with Kat. If you need back up, let us know."

Zack nodded and he and the other's headed out.

Tonya and Billy starred at each other although neither were sure of what to think.

She had never been in a situation like this with anyone. She didn't know where this would lead.

"So where do we go from here?" Tonya wondered smiling up at Billy shyly.

"I don't know yet, but-" he was cut off by both their communicators going off. There wasn't an intercom system in the sub-levels, and so Billy answered. "Yeah go ahead."

"Hey Billy, this is Adam. Is Tonya with you?"

"Yeah, this is her." Tonya answered.

"We need you. Morph and get down here. We'll explain when you do." Adam ended the message.

"Well duty calls. And its really late so I probable won't see you till in the morning."

"Yeah……..probable."

"Gotta go." Smiling she kissed his cheek, backed away and started the morphing sequence.

Kim had been in Kat's room for practically an hour and it was amazing that she hadn't found not one thing to implicate that Kat as the one who had Divatox capture.

Sighing she took off her helmet, and let her hair flow free. Fresh air hit her face and she breath in deep. She sat her helmet on Kat's nightstand and it occurred to her that that was the one place she hadn't searched yet. "Duh Kim!" she smacked her forehead and proceeded to search the night stand. What she found was letters and a diary. Randomly she flipped through the pages of Katherine's diary. She stopped on one particular entry. It seemed to stand out from the other's.

Dear Diary,

Today I met the most wonderful guy, even though I seem to be having lapses in my memory, I can remember this guy. He is wonderful and he is sweet. I know this even though I've never even talked to him. How is this possible, you may wonder? I am dreaming about him. Who is this dream guy?

She smirked at the entry and flipped a few more entries.

Thursday, February 13, 1997

I finally know what has been happening. She explained it all. I'm her daughter. She sent me to Earth after she killed the real Katherine Hilliard, exactly seventeen years ago. Rita, that's her name, and she's my real mother.

And I know who he is. The man I've been dreaming about. His name is Tommy Oliver, and he is the one I most destroy. Only I can't hurt him. See Diary, even though I'm evil, I love him.

I have told her, my mother, this and she says that I am the perfect weapon. I am the perfect weapon to destroying the leader of the power rangers.

"Oh God." Kim murmured, but continued reading. She needed to know more.

(Continued)

My mother says that even though I love Tommy, he loves another. In order to have Tommy to myself, I must destroy his love for this girl. I've also met this girl who he desires and loves. Her name is Kimberly Hart. My mother says she has the perfect plan to achieve what she wants. She tells me that I am the perfect weapon.

Kim stood speechless. She now knew that Kat was the one that had put her and Jason's lives in danger. She understood now that she never would have become what she was if it hadn't been for Kat.

And now she knew that she needed to return the favor.

Climbing down the tree she once again became a streak of light and went to her zord. She landed with excellent grace on the Black Dragon's back. All fighting ceased.

"Black Dragon, return to your home! Now!" she shot off again her goal, her destination, the power chamber.

"Adam, where do you think she's headed?" Aisha asked.

"If its my bet," Adam said. "She's going to finish what she started."

"She's headed for Kat," Zack shook his head. He didn't know why this new ranger had it out for them but he wanted to find out.

When Zordon had first came to Earth, the first thing he'd did was use his powers to banish Rita Repulsa to the moon. The next was he created the Command Center, and placed the power coins away for the day they might be needed.

But when the power rangers were called to duty, and they finally defeated Rita and Zedd, Divatox came and destroyed the Command Center and along with it the power coins. So Zordon rebuilt the Power Chamber and the rangers found a source for their new powers through Turbo power created by Billy, but Zordon never quit forgot about the last of the power coins. It was hidden away on Muranthias, and in case the other power coins were destroyed, which they were, it would be strengthened beyond all other power sources. Zordon never believed that the coin would be found.

Kim now stalked around in the main room of the power chamber. It was new to her and she felt like a kid in a candy store. The container where Zordon had spent most of his intergalactic life was empty. It was as if a dark shadow loomed in the room, and the comfort of his presence no longer remained. She smiled knowing that she'd tripped the silent alarm and that at least a few rangers had been left behind.

To her right she saw Jason emerge, and Tommy on the right.

"So, I guess your thinking that I don't look so out of place, huh?" she ran the back of her fingers over the control panels, as if she were rubbing hte ivory of piano keys.

"You are definitely a fish out of water," Tommy clenched his teeth and moved into a stance. Jason only watched her with interest.

"I've come to finish what I started." Kim said firmly.

"Your not getting anywhere near Katherine. You know that, right?" Jason stated firmly.

"And you should know that I can destroy every last one of you. I'm stronger, faster. Better."

"Then don't just stand talking, do it." Tommy and Jason both commenced the sequence to morph.
