Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers, Star Wars or any other references I might put in. I do own my characters.
Author's note: I have seen many predictions on the identity of the Red Ranger. Everyone is excited to see Kyle again except Sarah who has suspicions.
Suspicious
Kim: So that is what has been going on so far."
"And the council is letting you do this?"
"Let's just say Uncle Shen pulled a few strings."
Sarah: "Okay, even though this is nice to see a family come together; I have a question for you Kyle."
"Shoot."
"How did you know that we were the Power Rangers?"
"Because I figured Kim was behind because of her past as one."
Ben nodded pointing to him and Anton: "Why didn't you ever tell us."
"He was sworn to secrecy by me."
"Huh?"
"Years ago before you and I moved to Florida with Dad I caught Kim teleporting one day in her room while sneaking around."
"You kept bugging me the whole week about that I finally had to tell you."
"Give me a break. I was curious any 9 year old would be."
"So I told him and I swore him to secrecy."
"Even from me?"
"Especially from you, you had a big mouth back then. You still do."
"I do not."
Everyone burst out laughing when the alarm went off. Kim turned to the screen to see Balthazar, Darth Comedor, Darth Fenrir, and Darth Sheeva.
"Looks like our old friends are back but no sign of the red ranger."
Ben: "Too bad Kyle and I could kick is butt all the way to Corusaunt."
"Yeah, if I had ranger powers."
Kim: "We will worry about that later. Right now the citizens need their saviors."
"Right lets ranger up ready."
"Ready."
"Jedi Ranger Power Ha!" A flash of light covered their bodies and they reappeared in their ranger outfits. All Kyle could do is stand there and be amazed of what he just saw.
"Cool"
Ben: "See later bro."
The four rangers went in a flash. Kyle sat down and observed the monitor.
In the streets of Angel Grove the four Sith were causing a lot of chaos.
Darth Sheeva: "Look at these foolish humans running for their lives."
Darth Comedor: "I just love the smell of fear in the morning (laughing maniacally).
Balthazar: "Silence both of you! The rangers are near." As he finished his sentence four energy balls knocked the dark figures back. They looked up to see the rangers high on top of a building.
Darth Fenrir: "Finally some real action."
Ben: "Everybody pick your opponent."
They all jumped down landing perfectly on the ground. Kim engaged with Balthazar, Ben with Comedor, Anton with Fenrir, and Sarah with Sheeva.
Each of them seemed to be gaining the up hand with their enemies but Kim noticed something was off.
"I noticed you aren't even trying."
"Who said I wasn't."
Before she could speak a red streak slashed each of the rangers revealing it to be the red ranger.
"Go back to base, I'll take from here."
Darth Comedor: "You can't just come in here and steal our thunder."
"Actually I can. Master Jerec's orders."
Balthazar grunted under his breath.
"Fine but we will have a talk later."
"Whatever."
The four Sith disappeared in a flash.
"Okay who's first?"
Ben: "Me."
Kim: "Ben wait!" Before she could warn him Ben had already charged to the red ranger. The two engaged in a fierce battle each matching each other's moves and moving at super speeds.
"Poor Ben rushing into a fight with no plan"
This angered Ben as he continued to attack but by now he was getting sloppy because the red ranger had gotten to him. Red ranger force pushed him into the followed by an immediate knee to the stomach. Ben collapsed to the ground holding his stomach in pain.
Sarah: "Are you alright?"
"Yeah just let me at him one more time."
Kim: "No Ben sit this one out and rest. We'll take care of him."
Ben stepped back as the other three charged towards their opponent. They started by running around the ranger encasing him in a force bubble. As they looked upon the red ranger smirked beneath his helmet and unleashed a large shockwave freeing himself and knocking everyone else back in the process. Red ranger set his eyes on Sarah as she struggled to get up.
"Come on sweetie."
Sarah got up infuriated that this guy had the nerve to take them down. She went after him attacking using all of your training knowledge but she knew that he was better.
"Come on don't give in to anger. You know what they say fear is to anger, anger is to hate, hate is to suffering."
"How do you know that?"
"I'm a big fan."
He slashed Sarah multiple times causing her to fall to the ground demorphing. Anton was next to engage with this dark warrior. Anton was holding pretty well but something seemed familiar about him. He tried to read his mind but was unable to sense anything.
"It's not nice to raid in someone's mind without permission."
"If you're a ranger you should be on our side."
"Wrong I like being bad, it makes me happy."
He slashed Anton in a similar manner like he did with Sarah.
"Enough"
"Oh here comes the cute little pink ranger to the rescue."
"Why are you doing this?"
"Evil is as evil does Kimmie."
Kim hesitated about was able to bounce back in time to block his attack. Kim did more one the defense end than attacking because she wanted to find this ranger's identity.
"I feel like I know you."
"You should I'm an old friend. Someone who was really close to you."
Thoughts ran through Kimberly's head. The only other person she had ever been close to in her life was Tommy.
"Tommy?"
"Wrong but thanks for playing." He shot an energy ball at Kim sending her backwards next to her fallen rangers. He turned to Ben who was still recovering.
"You and I will finish this later. Catch you on the flip side". Then he was gone.
Later back at the house: The rangers with their helmets off went down to the basement to find Kyle sitting by the computer with Rosie next to her.
"Is this how all your battles look?"
Kim: "This is the first time I could say we lost."
"Any idea who this red ranger is?"
"I have a few."
"Ben that is first time I saw you handled like nothing."
"Yeah well this guy is good maybe too good."
Kim: "I'll stay here and try to figure out his identity."
"Sure." The rest of them went up with Kim alone with her thoughts. She picked up a phone and dialed. A woman with an Australian accent answered the phone.
"Hello Scott's residence Katherine speaking."
"Hey Kat, its Kim."
"My god Kim how have you been it's been so long."
"Yeah listen is Jason there."
"No he's teaching at a karate class can I have him call you back?"
"Sure."
"Oh, I noticed on television that Power Rangers have resurfaced in Angel Grove. You wouldn't have anything to do with this would you?"
"Actually yes. I am both the mentor and ranger."
"Which color are you?"
"Do you even have to ask?"
"Right of course."
"A well that is the reason I called you see there is an evil red ranger."
"That is a first."
"I know that is why I wanted to talk to Jason."
"Well I can assure you that Jason wasn't left New York since Trini's funeral. But I will have him call you."
"Thanks Kat."
"No problem Kim. See ya."
"Bye."
Kim hung up the phone and tried dialing another number. Her heart was beating fast as the phone rang.
"Hello Tommy Oliver speaking."
She immediately hung up the phone with tears in her eyes. She could only hope that the red ranger was playing mind games with her.
Author's note: So Sarah suspects Kyle and Kim think it might be one of her old ranger buddies. Keep in mind that this is a special occasion and former rangers will not make appearances unless it fits in the story. I don't how long the red ranger will remain masked. It will either be 1 or 2 more chapters before and identification is made. Bye for now. Review.
