A/N: So how was it? Intense, right? I love it when Power Rangers try to kill each other in stories! And I must say, thank you fanfiction . net for putting up the traffic option in the profiles. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't be writing so much. Knowing how many hits the story gets really does make a difference on my ego. I am now currently contesting this story with the Ironic Rise story, to see which one people read more. So far, it's actually a tie! Weird, right? And now, Enjoy!

Truths of the Hearts

Catfight!

By genielou

The Pink Turbo Ranger relaxed her fingers and let the string of her bow go. The sword pierced through the Red Ranger's chest. Screams and yells rang in her ears as she stared at him with wide eyes, unbelieving of what she had done.

The Red Ranger heaved a sigh as the sword flashed a red light and disappeared, leaving a black hole where it had pierced through his suit. A faint red glow surrounded his body, misting over every inch of him. It faded away, taking his red armor with it, and leaving him with the very same clothes that he had had on when he first disappeared over a month ago. They were tattered and dirty. She saw how thin his frame had gotten. She saw the lack of muscles his usually bulky figure displayed. She saw the cuts, the bruises, and all of the evidences that marked hard abuse on his face, arms, and legs. For the first time in a very long time, she realized how much he had been suffering; how much more than she could have ever imagined.

He breathes another sigh before letting his chest fall down one last time. His head slowly hung back onto the ground and his arms fell to his sides.

A desire to run away filled her, but she found herself stuck to the current position she was in: staring down, not completely digesting what she had done. The flare of her nostrils had gone away, replaced by a stinging that accompanied the watering of her eyes.

A flash of white suddenly engulfed the two former comrades. It disappeared just as fast as it had appeared, taking them with it.

(((((( ))))))

Tanya cried outloud, teeth bared as she pushed the former yellow ranger against the lockers. Aisha screamed as a locker handle hit her back. She swung a fist onto Tanya's stomach, and again upwards to her chin. Tanya faltered backwards. Aisha lunged at her again, but Tanya caught her by the shoulders and threw her against the lockers again, this time head first. Rocky tackled her down as Aisha placed a hand to her head, a sharp pain developing just above her forehead.

"Urgh!" she frowned upon seeing the blood on her fingertips. "Where did she learn to fight like that?"

"Adam!" Rocky yelled out, ducking in time to avoid another punch.

"Figures," Aisha shook her head before running head on towards the battle again. Her fist flew forward only to be dodged.

Rocky tries to land a hit but Tanya ducks and slams both fists into his chest, pushing him backwards into the ground. Aisha tried her hand at offending again, but Tanya blocked every one of her punches and started throwing her own, each landing on Aisha's stomach and sides. Aisha's stance wavers for a moment. Tanya takes advantage of this, opening both palms and clapping them hard onto Aisha's chest. She flies backwards and lands hard on the floor next to Rocky, heaving as she clutched her midsection. She looked at Rocky incredulously.

Rocky gave her an apologetic look as he shrugged his shoulders. "I gave her boxing lessons a few months ago."

Aisha rolled her eyes before pushing herself off the ground, wincing as she did so.

Tanya looked at both of them while they struggled to get up, smirking at the facial reactions they were displaying as they felt the severity of her hits on their bodies. "What was that about hurting me again?" she taunted.

Aisha and Rocky glared at her as they both got into their respected fighting stances.

((((( )))))

The Green Turbo Ranger ran to where his friends once were. "Alpha! What just happened?" he yelled into his helmet.

"Not now, Adam!" Alpha replied. "We're busy here!"

He heard the sounds of shuffling and metal clinks on the other end of the transmission before it cut off. He wanted to transport into the Chamber to find out what had happened, but the battle was still underway and he just couldn't afford it. He turned his attention towards where the Blue Ranger was fighting, a little surprised at how well he was fairing. The Blue Ranger realized his stare and gestured towards the school.

"I got this covered!" he called out to him as he blocked a punch. "Go get Tanya!"

The Green Ranger nodded his head and ran towards the school entrance. Just as he reached the entrance way, a wet tongue wrapped itself around his ankle and pulled him back. He fell face first onto the ground.

"Yaw nah goang ehniwer!" Elgar yelled as he kept pulling.

The Green Ranger grunted as he hung tightly onto the door post. After a dodging a few more tackles, the Blue Ranger pulled out his Turbo Blaster and aimed. He pulled the trigger and the blue light shot onto Elgar's tongue, burning through it. Elgar pulled what remained of his tongue back into his mouth with a loud "Yaw lillel rah!" The Green Ranger kicked off what was still wrapped around his ankle, pushed himself off of the ground, and ran as fast as he could deeper into the school halls.

((((( )))))

Rocky flew into the air and landed back first into a trash can. His body folds in as his own weight pushed deep into the can. He propped his hands onto the opening of the trash can and tried to push himself out, but found that his body was too cozily fitted into the shape of the can.

"Ugh! Not cool, Tanya!" he yelled at her. "This feels like Junior High all over again."

Aisha landed a kick to her side, but was retaliated with a hit to her shoulder. A slap landed on her cheek and she wavered back as she lifted a hand to her face. Rocky stopped his fidgeting upon seeing this, letting out a low "uh-oh."

Aisha's eyebrows furrowed and she glared hard at her replacement. She charged head on with fists already at the ready. She threw punch after punch, each blocked and avoided. She threw another kick to her side, but Tanya catches it with both arms. She gripped Aisha's leg tighter and pulled, hurling her around and throwing her against another set of lockers. Aisha's body dented the lockers before she fell to the floor.

Tanya smirked as she relaxed her shoulders and looked at her with a mocking glare. "No wonder I had to come in for you," she chuckled. "You're pathetic."

"They must have scrambled your memories too," Aisha said, slowly getting up. "Because as I remember it, you were an unwanted addition."

"Keep thinking that."

They heard the sound of grunting and both turned to see Rocky finally able to at least get his knees out of the trash can. He pulled himself out and stumbled to his feet. He wiped a sweat from his brow before turning his gaze towards them, confused at why they were both staring at him.

Tanya chuckled at him, all the while glancing at Aisha, and smiled. She lifted a hand towards Rocky and stretched her fingers. A gush of wind blew from her hands and pushed Rocky hard towards the wall. He lands on the floor with a loud thud. As he tried to get up, Aisha saw very clearly the red line that trickled from his nose and onto his chin. A few droplets fell on the white floor.

Aisha's nose flared as she saw this. "That's it. First, you hurt my friends. Then, you hurt me. Now, you make my boyfriend bleed?" She took off her earrings and bracelets, and threw it to the ground. "I'm going ghetto on your ass."

Tanya giggled at this, causing Aisha's anger to reach its limit. She screamed as she ran towards Tanya. Tanya threw a punch, but Aisha avoided this, ramming her entire body against Tanya's midsection instead. She tackles her to the ground and starts to wrestle her.

When Rocky recovered, he started to push himself up and he saw this. His eyes widened at the sight. He stood still, unsure of what to do.

The Green Turbo Ranger ran towards him as he stared on. "Rocky!" he called out to him as he got nearer. "Rocky, are you alright?"

When Rocky didn't answer, his eyes followed the source of his stare. His own eyes widened when he saw a very angry Aisha sitting on top of Tanya, pulling at her hair. The Green Turbo Ranger lowered his shoulders and a green light filled his entire body. It disappeared to reveal Adam in his regular, baggy clothes with the signature green pallet.

Both Adam and Rocky just stood there for a moment, staring at the catfight that continued in front of them.

"We should do something," Adam said, not taking his eyes off of the two.

"Uh-huh," Rocky answered dreamily. After a short while, Tanya was finally able to push Aisha off of her. However, the former Ranger quickly recovered and climbed on top of her again, throwing a punch and causing Tanya's lip to pop.

Adam awoke from his trance upon seeing the blood trickle from Tanya's lip. He nudged Rocky's shoulder and gestured towards the two females. Rocky nodded and they both ran towards them.

Rocky pulled Aisha off of Tanya with both arms locked on hers while Adam pulled Tanya to her feet, both arms also locked onto hers as he held her back. When she broke free and tried to run forward to Aisha, Adam grabbed her by the elbows and spun her around. He gripped both of her arms tightly as she faced him.

"Tanya?" he asked, frowning at her. "Tanya."

She frowned back at him, confused. She recognized him. She remembered him from her dreams. Suddenly, all of the questions that she had been craving to have answered sprang in her mind. She wanted them answered, and felt that somehow, he must have the answers that she was looking for. She opened her mouth to convey these thoughts, but found her voice getting caught. Something was stopping her. Something deep inside of her was stopping her from saying anything. Her brows furrowed even more as she tried again, but still nothing came out.

"Tanya," Adam repeated. He wanted her to say something, anything, to relieve him. He believed that she knew who he was, and he was desperate for her to confirm this.

Tanya tried again, her eyes watering.

Finally, she screamed in frustration and broke free from his grip. As she threw a punch at him, both of her arms gets pulled back behind her. She felt her body lifted up when she tried to kick at him.

"Adam! In my pocket!" Aisha yelled as she tightened her grip on one arm, Rocky held onto the other.

Adam ran forward and reached into Aisha's front pants' pocket and fished out the morpher key that was handed to her not long ago. He held it up as he tried to take one arm out. Tanya kicked again and this time, her foot makes contact with Adam's shin. He stumbles back with a limp.

"Knock it off!" Aisha twisted the arm that she held on to, causing Tanya to cry out.

Aisha rearranged Tanya's arm to be in front of her. She quickly turned her wrist while making sure to maintain her grip. With a flash of yellow, Tanya's morpher appeared. Adam ran forward again and shoved the key into the morpher. But Tanya yanked her arm back before Adam could turn it.

Finally reaching the peak of her irritation, Aisha released her grip on her arm and elbowed Tanya right on her face. Tanya's head swung to the side as Aisha's elbow hits her on her cheekbone. Her head hung sluggishly when Aisha took charge of her arm again. Adam, while trying to mask his shock at his best friend's violent outburst, took Tanya's wrist in one hand and the key in the other. He took a deep breath and twisted the key.

All three had to close their eyes at the sudden surge of yellow glow that intensely flashed before them. The yellow suddenly flashed a bright white, and Aisha and Rocky had to let go to shield their eyes. Adam, however, maintained his short distance from her.

When the light subsided and Adam was able to open his eyes, he looked upon the very familiar and much missed yellow armor of the Yellow Turbo Ranger. He looked at her with wide eyes, almost unbelieving that she was in existence before him. She, in turn, was mimicking his reaction as she stared at her gloved hands, almost as if she herself was unbelieving of her own existence.

Her gaze lifts up, and her head tilts at the sight of him.

"Adam?" she whispered through her helmet. "Adam."
