Catlovingmermaid here, so this chapter is about Tommy and Kim starting their life together in Reefside so enjoy.

Tommy pulled himself up out of the water, his tail vanishing as soon as he got into the shallows. Revealing soggy wet Khaki's and button-down shirt, his shoes so water logged that he would probably have to throw them out when he got home. He wouldn't be able to wear them anymore. He stood up and offered his hand down to help Kim up.

She looked at the hand tentatively, "I don't know Tommy, I don't have anywhere to go, I don't have a job, or money, or a high school diploma."

Tommy shook his head, grabbing Kim's arm, "Don't worry about all of that. You'll stay with me, I'll help you find a job, and we can get you your GED, no problem."

"I don't know Tommy," Kim said softly, standing up as her tail disappeared and she gained her legs. She wobbled a little bit and would have fallen over if Tommy hadn't caught her.

"You okay Beautiful?" Tommy asked as he steadied her.

"Yeah, just hadn't used my legs for a while now I guess."

Tommy nodded, scooping her up bridal style, which caused her to squeal and cling to his neck, "Tommy!" she gasped.

Tommy just shook his head, as he carried her out of the water before depositing her onto the sun warmed sand of the beach. He collapsed down next to her with a laugh, but the laugh was more to cover up his nervousness. She had been so light, even with her soaking wet pink sun dress on she had seemed light. She probably hadn't been eating the way she should. Well he could figure out what to do about that later. Even with being turned into a mermaid the near-death experience had been draining and he had just promised Kim a place to live. So, he figured he better figure out where they were going to live. He still had several months left in his internship and that had included room and board so he hadn't arranged a place just yet. He guessed he probably stay at his parents until he can sort this out, unless...

"Aqua you there!" he called out, "I'm ready to make my final wish."

The mermaid popped out just outside the shallows, "Yes, what is your final wish?"

"I wish that Kim and I can find someplace to live together were we can be happy and safe."

The mermaid nodded, "Very well, head to the woods outside Reefside California, there you will find a house with a secret lab underneath it; it is yours." with that she vanished underneath the waves and Tommy collapsed onto the sand next to Kim. Everything was taken care of; he could rest for a little while.

Chad was walking across the beach when he noticed two prone figures laying in the sun, he frowned, that almost looked like Tommy. He jogged over, it was Tommy and some woman in pink. Something was familiar about her, perhaps she was another power ranger, he had notice before that he felt a strange sense of familiarity with other rangers, even those he had just met.

He got closer; he had been right it was Tommy. He let out a sigh of relief, the explosion had made national news and it had been assumed that no one had survived.

"Tommy," He called out, kneeling next to the prone figure in the sand, "You okay?"

"Yeah, Chad I'm fine," Tommy said, sitting up, "What are you doing here?"

"Mariner Bay's Beach? Where I've worked as a lifeguard since before I became the blue Lightspeed Rescue Ranger. I was just making my rounds and saw you. Are you hurt I can call Dana if you want."?

Tommy shook his head, running a hand through his hair to force out the sand, "I don't think so, but if she doesn't mind, I'll like her to check Kim here, just to be safe."

"Kim," Chad asked, trying to think if he had heard that name before, "Kimberly Hart?"

Tommy nodded, "Yep the original pink ranger."

"But she's dead!" Chad pointed out.

"Doesn't look dead to me," Tommy quipped, "But I want to make sure her time away hasn't affected her health any."

Chad pulled out his cell phone, hitting a speed dial number, "Dana can you come to the beach, I've found Tommy."

Tommy couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a woman with blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail walking towards him. It Dana Mitchell. The one who gathered the light speed rangers together, the daughter of Captain William Mitchell, the pink lightspeed ranger, and a paramedic. She was well known for being the first ranger to become a doctor.

"Chad, I got here as quickly as I could!" Dana exclaimed kneeling down to Tommy. She placed her stethoscope over Tommy's heart. As she listened to his heart beat, her eyes landed on Kimberly. "Is that Kimberly Hart? I thought she was dead-"

"-I've been alive the whole time," Kimberly interrupted taking hold of Tommy's hand. "The villains trapped me in a dimension back in 1997. When I was able to escape, I became a mermaid and searched for Tommy."

"She appears very weak," Tommy said after Dana finished listening to his heart beat.

"She wasn't the only one injured," Chad informed. "I think Tommy may have an injured his right leg. He said he jumped off a cliff and hit the water. The island he was on exploded and he had to swim for miles before finding land. When I came to this place, I saw Tommy was mermaid too and another mermaid appeared and asked him for his final wish-"

"-Can you please tell me where we are?" Tommy broken in clutching his ankle.

"You're at the Reefside beach," Dana stated as she began to listen to Kimberly's heartbeat. "Chad, call an ambulance. We need to get an x-ray of Tommy's ankle and we need to check out Kimberly's health status."

Terrance Smith laid face down on a cold metal floor. His latest lab experiment had gone totally wrong. Tommy Oliver didn't come help him. All he was worried about was that girl, Kimberly Hart. It was time Tommy faced the truth. She gone and wasn't coming back. Most men would have moved on after four years and found another woman to love. Tommy was so selfish and it had cost Smitty a job he wanted and now his life.

"If I was going survive, I'd get even with Tommy Oliver," Smitty weakly muttered.

"What if I was to help you?" asked a cold voice.

Smitty weakly lifted his head off the ground and looked up at dinosaur like human's face. "Who are you?" Smitty asked as he head hit the ground. "Where did you come from?"

"I am Mesogog," answered the creature. "This is my lab. I think I can help you-"

"-Really, I'd do anything to get even with Tommy Oliver!" Smitty coughed as he slowly started to close his eyes. "He's stole a job from me and he didn't even bother to come help me during the lab explosion. All he was worried about was a girl named Kimberly Hart. She isn't even-"

"-you are mistaken," Mesogog interrupted as he walked around the room. "She's been trapped in a dimension. Not too long ago she escaped and she's finally be reunited with Tommy."

"I w w want h him t t to s s suffer," Smitty hissed when Mesogog kneeled next to him.

"I want that just as much as you do," Mesogog smiled. "I can give you, life again. But, your body is grievously injured. You have to take on a new form. You will become a cyborg and go by Zeltrax. Your job will be to help me capture Kimberly and take her back to the dimension."

"It's a deal," Smitty.

What are Mesogog's plan's? Will Tommy learn about Mesogog's plans before it's too late? Why do they want Kimberly to return to the dimension?
