Trini's Terror
Trini was all alone, on the island by herself. Well, not all alone, she was on some kind of island, or perhaps in some kind of dimension, and the other rangers were here somewhere, she just didn't know where, but she was sure they were here; they just had to find each other. Trini heard a familiar scream and she knew it was her friend Zack Taylor, the black ranger, he sounded truly frightened like he had whenever he saw a spider. Trini ran toward the sound of the scream. "I'm coming, Zack," she called, hoping the other rangers, too, had heard his scream and were on their way. If she could find them all then she knew they could make it off this island. She ran toward the source of the scream calling Zack's name as she did.
Katrina or Trini Kwan as her friends and teacher's had learned to call her over the years was happy for Tommy and Kim, she really was, there was nothing better than being able to fall in love, Trini on the other hand didn't have that option. She was Asian descent, her parents had moved here when she was small to find a small fortune in hopes of getting out from under the ever oppressing government that kept them from ever realizing their full potential. Whenever her betroved turned eighteen he was supposed to join her in America.
She had met him several times during her childhood .Hideo Wang was a pompous egotistical narssasitic douche bag if she had ever met one. And she was supposed to marry him, it was customary, and in Asian marriages a man could discipline his wife. Trini's hands clenched into fists she was supposed to marry and have children with an oaf like that and no matter how many times she had pleaded with her parents her father had told her that was that, they had given their word, and a real man never goes back on his word, she would get used to him. She didn't want to get used to him, she didn't want to marry him at all. He was part of the reason she had started martial arts. There was no way she was going to be beat up on. She was going to fight back. No matter that she liked Jason and Billy; it didn't matter when she turned eighteen she would have to marry Hideo.
She was powerless to do anything when her aunts were to arrive from Asia and begin planning her wedding, she had no choice in anything, all she could do was stand up beside the prick and say I do as she spent the rest of her life with him, being miserable. It wasn't fair; her parents didn't have to spend the rest of their lives with him.
She reached Zack to find him fading away. "Zack, what's going on? What's happening?" she asked him, taking in the frozen look of terror on his face, his was-she could see right through him. She reached him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Zack, its Trini, talk to me."
"No, you are all evil. You betrayed me."
"No, we haven't, Zack. Stay with me, you are fading away," she told him, wondering if she knew.
"Fading away?" he questioned, turning fearful eyes to look at her. "You aren't evil? You aren't working with Rita?" he asked.
"No, Zack, of course not. Trust me," she added. He nodded his head and closed his eyes as he started becoming more corporal.
"Now we must find the others, have you seen them?" she asked him.
Zack shrugged, "I thought I saw Tommy, but it might not have been real. This place is sure creepy, how can I even be sure you are real?"
"You must believe in me, in yourself, in the team, and in Zordon." Zack nodded, as he touched her again, just to make sure she was real.
"So what do you think happened?" he asked her.
"Well, obviously there was a reason we were split up. Someone-"and she screamed, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. No, no, there was no way."
"Trini, what is it?" he asked her, but she didn't respond as her eyes got wide and terrified.
