Kim had to admit that the area they were in at the moment was pretty nice looking compared to the city view she was use to on a day to day bases. The area was heavily forested which pleased Kim seeing as they would at least have some relief from the sun in their journey. Looking over at Tommy she couldn't help but to blush like when she was a school girl when the two of them flirted. She had to admit that he looked really good wearing the old ninjetti outfit, it just seemed to scream don't screw with me.

"You okay Kim?" Tommy asked looking back.

"Yeah just thinking," Kim responded smiling at him.

"About?"

"How lucky I am to have you again," She said making him blush bright red.

The two continued on through the trees and stopped every now and again to rest. When the sun was well above them Tommy began to wonder how much time had passed since they had been there and if there was a time limit to how long they could take the test. Rubbing the back of his head the black dino thunder ranger started to look around hoping to find something that would help them with their test. Kim, seeing what he was doing, merely did as he did in hopes that their test wouldn't be one that drove them mentally insane by the end of it. She wanted to get home and see Kira again and hopefully go out to eat with her and Tommy as a family that she knew they were going to become. But most of all she wanted to feel the power of ninjetti running through her again like when they first got it when they were the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Biting down on her lower lip Kimberly figured that it wouldn't do her any good if she started to freak out and decided to closer her eyes and try to concentrate on anything to keep her calm. That was when she heard something that she hadn't heard in a long, long time, the call of the crane. Opening her eyes she looked up and saw the majestic bird circling above them as if it was trying to tell them something important.

"Tommy look," Kim said pointing up at the crane.

"Do you think we should follow it?" Tommy asked as he watched the crane.

"It couldn't hurt," Kim said as the crane started to fly off, "come on we don't want to lose it."

Running through the trees the two followed the crane as best as it could without completely losing sight if it in the process. Finally the crane stopped and landed on top of a tree next to a river bank before letting out a cry and watching the two run up. Panting, Kim looked around and began to wonder why the crane would lead them there of all places before deciding that she didn't care and kneeling down to take a drink of water. The same thought ran through Tommy's mind but when he kneeled down he spotted something weird and placed his hand on Kimberly's shoulder.

"Kim don't drink the water," He muttered catching her by surprise.

"Why not?"

Standing up Tommy picked up a nearby limb and poked it at the river only for the tip of the limb to burst in the flames startling the pink ranger. Tossing it on the ground, Tommy then looked up at the crane that seemed to be laughing at them before it glided down ad transformed into a pale pink ninja looking woman. The woman had long black hair that seemed to look more like feathers than anything else and her eyes glowed a slight orngish color as if they were on fire.

"Very good Thomas, you saw right through my trap," the woman said clapping, "I didn't really care who it was that I battled but seeing as Miss. Kimberly here is still up and going I think I'll challenge her."

With that Tommy felt as if his whole body had suddenly been paralyzed and could only watch as Kim barely managed to dodge an oncoming barge of attacks from her newest opponent. Jumping up into a tree Kim realized that she made a fatal mistake and was suddenly hit from behind by the woman's attack. Managing to land on her feet Kim's eyes widened as she barely dodged another attack and almost landed in the river behind her. Getting her footing back she looked over at the crane monster who landed next to Tommy and stroked his cheek causing a sense of anger and jealousy to rise up in her chest.

"You know I wonder what it is that he like about you," The crane asked looking over at her, "after everything that you did to him I'm surprised that he actually took you back."

"Shut up, Tommy loves me and he would never leave me," Kim yelled clenching her fist.

'Calm down Kimberly she's just trying to provoke you,' she thought taking a deep breath

"Ha that's hilarious that you think he can love you after you broke his heart, do you know that after you left him he went after Katharine?" The crane asked smugly.

"It doesn't matter," Kim replied closing her eyes, "he's with me now and I won't let him go this time."

"Then prove it by beating me," the crane commanded flying forward and smashing into Kimberly.

The two flew through the trees and ended up in a small clearing nearby before Kim let go and rolled on the ground to a stop. Standing up she looked around and saw a giant tree stump in front of her where the crane woman was standing waiting for her to make a move. Taking a moment to breath, the pink ranger took this time to analyze her latest opponent in hopes that she would be able to find a pattern in her movement. When replaying the movements in her mind she saw that her opponent had the tendency to capture, lift her enemy up into the air and then drop said person. Opening her eyes, Kim dodged another attack before jumping up on to the stump and turning to face the crane woman. Bringing her hands in front of her she began to use her old energy attack hoping that it would damage the cranes wings keeping it grounded to level the playing field. It didn't work however as the crane merely flew back up into the air and dodged the oncoming attack as if it were mere child's play.

"You'll have to do better than that little crane," the woman said soaring through the air, "otherwise you'll never become a ninjetti master."

'This is my test,' Kim thought in amazement, 'the crane was originally my symbol after the pterodactyl.'

"Finally figuring it out Kimberly?" The crane asked looking at her, "That as your original ninjetti symbol it is only right you fight me?"

"If this is my test to become a ninjetti master then I will fight you," Kim said getting in a fighting stance, "I won't hold back."

"You were before?" The crane asked bemused.

With that the two dashed forward, Kim using her ninjetti speed, they clashed in the middle of the clearing and caused a small burst of pink energy creating a little crater. Being forced backwards, Kim landed on her feet and looked around only to find that the crane woman had vanished. Closing her eyes she tried to reach out and sense her but found that no matter what she did the crane was nowhere to be found. That was until she was flung up into the air as the crane appeared out of nowhere and hit her in the back startling her. While up in the air Kim could sense things that she never could before and, reaching deep within her heart, she called upon the powers that she once held as the pink ranger. Landing softly on the ground she turned her gaze towards the crane and smiled at the woman.

"I want to thank you for doing this but I need to get back to the love of my life now," Kim said summoning some more energy in her hands.

"What do you plan on doing with that?" The crane asked curiously, "The outcome will only be like before, with me dodging it, soaring in the air."

"Oh I know that," Kim said smiling, "but you forget one thing…"

Launching the attack Kim watched as the crane jumped into the air only for the energy to follow it as if it were riding the same current she was. The chase continued on for a little bit and when the crane thought that she finally lost the energy attack she was started to see that it was merely leading her towards Kim who was now charging up another energy ball.

"...I'm the original crane ranger."

With that she launched her finally attack hitting the crane woman back into her other one and causing the two energies to collide and explode destroying the crane in the process. Watching as the feathers vanished before her Kim started back towards where she knew the river was and, when she arrived, saw that Tommy was standing there looking around as if he had no clue what was going on. Seeing her walk up he ran up to her and gave her a bone crushing hug making her smile and hug him back.

"What happened?" Tommy asked looking her in the eyes.

"I finished my part of the test," Kim said with a smile.

Grinning Tommy leaned into kiss her cheek only for her to vanish as soon as he did. Looking around Tommy started to call out her name in fear but when no answer came he started to grow afraid when he heard laughter behind him. Turning around he watched as a falcon circled around him and finally landed on the ground before transforming into a boy that looked like a younger version of him with white wings.

"Don't worry Tommy, she's safe," he said smirking at him, "you'll see her if you manage to beat me."
