Mortal Combat

By: Luna Ace

Summary: Years after the infamous Dear John letter Kimberly Ann Hart calls Thomas Oliver and asks to met him in Angel Grove Park. Can a relationship ten years old be salvage?

Rocky found himself in the last place possible, or the first place possible? They would always come here and fight monsters every weekday after school. And, sometimes during the weekends. This was bad territory for a Power Ranger. Even for him. Memories of the past- fighting those rouge monsters and hurting his back was very painful.

But, he knew he couldn't let Aisha fight this monster alone. Even though he could only remember fighting her once or twice (A/N: I believe. Tell me if I'm wrong). Watching Aisha throw punches and kicks towards Scorpina made him want to protect her. To wrap his arms around her and tell her to stop fighting; let him fight her battles.

But, he knew the truth. And, he couldn't do that. Fight her battles. The only way she was going to get stronger was to fight her own battles. But, that was enough. And, he had loved Aisha for who she was rather then what she was.

After all they were only human.

"Bored Red Ranger?" Scorpina called to him.

He gulped and begun to wonder what torture Scorpina was about to put him through. He watched as she lifted her right arm into the air and mutter under her breath. He knew this wasn't good. And, he was right because the next second a group of Super Putties had gathered around him.

"Damn this is getting old," he muttered under his breath as he began to take down each and everyone of them. Well, tried. He soon realized that they were touch.

Zack was watching the viewing globe, and gulped. He saw a disaster in the making. He knew for a fact that Rocky had no experience in this area. He slowly shook his head and turned back to the rest of the team.

"You guys," he begun. "We have a problem."

The original Rangers (Billy, Jason and Trini and Tommy) looked at their friend. Zack then got out of the way waiting for a word from his friends. Trini walked over to one of the consoles and zoomed into the image. She then turned around and glued her eyes to the screen.

"That's not possible. Rita never used that type of Putty after Jason and Tommy learned to work together." terror was evident in her voice.

Jason and Tommy looked at each other, and exchange glances.

"What type of Putty?" Billy hearing himself ask.

"Super Putty." Trini said, but then shook her head. "No, It gets much worse. They are a higher form of Super Putty. I think Kim has tweaked with them as well."

Each of the original team gaged. "So, what now?" Zack asked.

"Well," Billy stopped as the alarm rung out.

The Rangers- original and non- looked at the screen. The monitor was showing someplace none of the rangers recognize. And, a half-man, half cyborg man was terrorizing the city. For a moment Tommy froze. Beside the man was a woman with brunette hair and eyes. She was laughing amongst the citizens.

"Kim no!" Hayley cried from across the room, closing her eyes.

Fresh tears begun to fall from her eyes. She knew then what she had to do. She raised up the Triceratops coin, and prayed she had the power to fight her first friend she had made in this life alone. Tommy quickly caught on to what she was about to do.

"Hayley don't. I'll handle this." he said, rather gruffly.

"Thomas Oliver. Listen. I'm not going to stand around and let my best friend destroy the town I grew up in. You may not know me, but I owe this to Kim. You don't know how many times I've watch her die in a nightmare. How many times I blame myself for it. It's my chance to do something right. And, your not going to stop me. It's Morphing Time! Triceratops."

And, with the new Blue Ranger morphed; a bright blue light left the command center.

Tommy stood there gawking at the place were she stood. He looked over to Trini and Katherine. They were laughing at him. He supposed he deserved that. Here, he was; their fearless leader astounded by everything and all. Turning back towards the viewing globe he realized he would have to face the cyborg by himself. Oh, happy days would soon come, once he could put his Power Ranger days behind him.

Jason watched amused at the turn of events. He knew how close Tommy and Hayley had gotten over the years. He knew how much Tommy still loved Kim. He had tried to help them get back together, but along the way he seemed uninterested. And, then this had to happened. Maybe this was for the better. He hoped that they could save Kim, and the fairytale couple of the Rangers could find love.

"I guess I'm up against Zeltrex," Tommy mumbled to himself. Then he spoke up and cried, "White Ranger Power." Then, White Light had engulf him and he was gone.

Rocky kicked a putty towards the ground and more were coming after him. He was wondering how to defeat these putties. And, he was getting tired and restless. He knew it was time to step it up to the next level.

"Aisha! It's morphing time!"

She turned around and looked for a second. In that second was all it took for Scorpina to kick Aisha in the chest. She was thrown back into a tree. And, all she could hear was Rocky scream her name. That's all it took to make her scream those three words she never thought she would hear again. Especially since the last time she was face with this situation she killed Scorpina with her bare hands.

And, then she remembered what Billy had said: You know the funny thing about morphin'? You don't appreciate it 'till you can't do it anymore!" She smiled, an awkward smile. If that was all it took to take out Scorpina so be it. Lifting up her own Ninjetti Power coin as she looked towards Rocky. She then nodded.

"Yellow Ranger Power!"

"Red Ranger Power!"

Smirking, Scorpina and the mindless Super Putties surrounded them. The wicked lady was ready to fight her enemy, and she could only hoped her minions could keep the mighty Red Ranger away from them. But, that was not all they would dish out. She knew about two hundred miles away (A/N: Another guess from me) another battle that was define by her Mistress was underway.

"Hayley stay back!" Tommy cried over to her.

He was scared. Not for his safety. But for hers. She had never faced an enemy as tough as this before. He knew she had never fought in a battle before. He knew that this could be disastrous. Even for him. If Hayley hadn't been here it would be okay.

"Leave the Lady alone," a dark ominous voice called out to him.

He turned towards the voice. And, took a step forward.

"Zeltrex. I've been wondering what happened to you."

The half cyborg smirked, and if Tommy could of seen it he knew he would be angry. No. More angrier than he was all ready.

Behind them, a woman stepped to the side. She was hidden behind Zeltrex so well. The brunette showed hatred in her eyes at the white Ranger and then the Blue Ranger. She spoke up only towards the two Rangers.

"It's over Tommy. I've won. You've lost. And, Billy you should of stayed in Aquitar!

At this, "Billy" laughed. A pure feminine laughed. And, then a few seconds later Tommy had joined in. They weren't going to tell Kim what was funny though. This fight wasn't about small pleasantries.

"Bring it on," Tommy cried to Zeltrex and Kim as he made the come hither motion with a palm.

A sick notion fell into Katherine's through as she watched Tommy and their new found friend, Hayley; off to fight the first Pink Ranger and an enemy they had never knew before. Katherine then turned to her husband and took comfort in his arms. Tears fell from her soft blue eyes.

"This is horrible," she murmured.

Billy could only nod. Their battle with this entity inside Kim was coming to a close he figured. And, it could have two outcomes. They'll win and save Kim. Or they'll lose and Kim would take over the Earth. The latter would be dreadful, and that he knew. But, then again he wasn't going to stop fighting-- for the sake of the planet. He hadn't spent all those years, back when he was a Power Ranger; to let the world to end like this. In the hands of one of his best friends.

Funny, he thought. I still think of her as my best friend. And, not my enemy.

"Bill?" Katherine asked him.

He shook his head clear.

"Yes?"

"We'll save her. We won't let the Earth fall to her rein. We didn't let Rita, Zedd, nor the Machine Empire have Earth. We won't let Kim have Earth either." Katherine said.

But, then another alarm interrupted their moment. Billy and Katherine looked towards the viewing globe and gasped. The globe then made a third screen appear. The first screen had shown Rocky, Aisha versus Scorpina. The second-- Hayley, and Tommy versus Zeltrex and Kim. So, the third and final screen showed Goldar in the shopping district of Angel Grove destroying the city.

Jason then turned to his friends, compainons, and most importantly teammates.

"It looks like the time has come to face my own fears."

The remaining Rangers (except Trini) nodded. Trini grabbed Jason's hand. And, said the few words that would make his heart soar.

"I'm going with you."

And, to Jason Lee Scott those four words were enough.

A/N: Ah. Done. With this chapter. In the next coming chapters will be two-three fights being written up. Bare with me because I don't really like writing fight scenes, and I'm not good at doing them. But, I will try. For you guys. The other Rangers- Billy, Adam, Zack and Katherine have not much of a plot in the coming chapters. Although, I could use them to fend off Elsa-- but then what will the DT Rangers do? Hmm? Time to think of a plot line for the four.
