Chapter 12: About to Break
Kira ran on top of a hill to get their plan in motion. "CONNER! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!" She shouted. Kira looked over to see the other Rangers hiding like she told them. "CONNER! I SURRENDER TO YOU!" She shouted. She bent down on one knee to prove her point. The others watched as a green light appeared behind her and Conner stood there.
"About time," he commented.
Kira stood up and she looked at him. "You really giving up? Or are you going to pull a stunt like you did before?" He asked. Kira smiled as she stood in front of him. The others felt sick as they watched their Red Ranger act like she was going to actually give herself to the evil Green Ranger.
"What do you think?" She replied.
She removed her morpher from her wrist and she placed it in his hand. "I think that gives you a clue," she commented. Kira circled around him.
"You left your morpher behind before and you jumped out of a two story window," he reminded.
"What? Don't like a little challenge?" She asked.
Conner grabbed a hold of her arm and pulled her time. "I enjoy a challenge," he replied. Kira smiled and then she placed a hand on his staff.
"Good," she answered.
Conner pulled her tightly against him and he kissed her. He suddenly caught something out of the corner of his eye and looked up to see Trent. "You wench," he snapped. He pulled back and he hit her hard enough to knock her off her feet. "Thought you could ambush me," he hissed. Kira wiped the blood from her lip.
"Was the plan," she commented.
Kitty ran over to Kira. "You okay?" She asked. Kira nodded and she saw her morpher still in his hand.
"GREEN HAWK RANGER!" Conner shouted.
He slammed his staff to the ground and he was engulfed in the green light. Kira stood up and she ran at Conner to get her morpher back. Conner glared at her and elbowed her in the side, making her fall back on the ground. She held her side and winced in pain. "GO!" Kira shouted. The Rangers nodded.
"PURPLE COYOTE RANGER!" Kitty shouted.
"BLACK TIGER RANGER!" Trent shouted.
"BLUE ORCA WHALE RANGER!" Ethan shouted.
"WHITE FALCON RANGER!" Tommy shouted.
All four spun around and slammed their fists to the ground. They engulfed in their respective colored lights. "We'll get your morpher back," Kitty assured her.
"Don't worry about me, just destroy that staff," Kira hissed.
"BLACK TIGER SABER!" Trent shouted.
"COYOTE LANCE!" Kitty shouted.
"ORCA WHALE SHIELD!" Ethan shouted.
Tommy pulled out Saba and they ran at Conner. Conner held his staff up. "HAWK FLAME ORB!" Conner shouted. He swung his staff around in a circle and a ball of green fire appeared. "FIRE!" He shouted. He threw the blast at them and watched as they were knocked off their feet. "Nice try," he laughed. Kira was waiting for the right moment.
"Wait for it," she whispered.
Kitty stood up with her lance and started fighting Conner on her own with Trent and the others following her not long after that. "Wait for it," Kira whispered.
"COYOTE HOWL BLAST!" Kitty shouted.
She did a front flip and threw the blast at Conner's back. Conner moved out of the way, but the morpher fell from his hand. "NO!" Conner shouted. Kira got up and she rolled on the ground, grabbing the morpher at the same time. She stood up and put her morpher back on her wrist.
"RED PANTHER RANGER!" She shouted.
She spun around and hit the ground with her first and was engulfed in the red light. "Put all our powers together," she told them. They nodded and stood next to her. "PANTHER CLAW ATTACK!" Kira shouted.
"COYOTE HOWL BLAST!" Kitty shouted.
"TIGER LIGHTNING SLASH!" Trent shouted.
"ORCA WHALE WATER CLASH!" Ethan shouted.
"FALCON TALON FLAME!" Tommy shouted.
Conner stood up and held his staff up. "HAWK FLAME ORB!" He shouted. Kira nodded with a grin.
"FIRE!" She shouted.
They threw their blasts at Conner. With their powers combined, Conner's attack was thrown back and the green jewel on the top of his staff broke. "NO!" Conner shouted. A huge explosion occurred and it threw them all back.
After a few minutes, Kira sat up. "Everybody okay?" She asked. She was trying to see through the smoke.
"Yeah," they replied.
Kira stood up. "Conner!" She gasped. She ran towards where the explosion threw Conner and stopped short.
"What?" Tommy called out.
Kira took off her helmet and smiled. Conner was walking up, his helmet was under his arm and he looked at Kira, his eyes were no longer green. "Hey," he greeted with a small grin. Kira dropped her helmet and threw her arms around his neck. Conner dropped his helmet and wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her off the ground a bit.
"I told you that I'd save you from that spell," she told him.
Conner smiled and closed his eyes. "Not a doubt in my mind," he answered. He looked up when the other Rangers walked up. "Hey guys," he greeted. Tommy walked up to Conner and shook his hand after a minute.
"Welcome back," Tommy answered.
One by one every Ranger welcomed Conner back.
(The Lair)
"NO!" Nerak snarled. He watched the reunion with a sneer. "No! This can't be happening," he snapped. He swung his sword around and disappeared.
(The Forest)
"RANGERS!" Nerak shouted. They looked up to see Nerak floating in the sky. "You took away my servant and now you will pay," he snapped. Conner wrapped his arm around Kira's shoulders.
"You can't win, Nerak," Trent told him.
"Oh
yes I can! The Earth will be mine for the taking!" Nerak laughed as
he disappeared.
Conner rubbed his forehead and let out a sigh. "Now what?" He asked. Tommy looked at Conner.
"We fight him, like we always fought our enemy," Tommy replied.
Conner nodded with a smile.
