SUMMARY: Maybe I was a little unclear. I'm just following the time line. Well, somewhat. I don't like it either, but Kim has to lose her powers. Plus, it has good emotional highpoints. As always, you know me. I'll make it to be were… hey, I'd be ruining it for you if I tell you.

Chapter 27 Pink No More

The pink covers on Kim's bed were thrown off as her dream was getting worse.

"Please, give it back to me," Kim pleaded.

She covered her mouth as Goldar began to laugh.

"Bye bye, Pink Ranger," Goldar said, disappearing.

"No! Oh God, no," Kim cried.

Kim fell to the ground.

"It won't be long now," a female voice laughed.

Kim turned and gasped.

"Give me back my coin now, bitch," she yelled.

"Or what," the female asked.

"Then I'll have to kick your ass then, Kat," Kim said. "You know I don't want to, but I will."

Kim woke up screaming.

"Kim, are you okay," Kevin asked, knocking on her door.

"I'm fine. It was just a nightmare," she said.

Kim curled up in a ball and began crying. Why would Kat do something like that? Better yet, how would Kat know she was a Power Ranger, and if she did, does Kevin know?

For a few weeks, Kim had been having those nightmares. It was only now that she knew who was behind her in those dreams. Knowing it was her brother's girlfriend scared her to death. Tommy was getting worried. Kim had been grabbing her power coin out of her back pocket during class a lot more than she used to. Zordon would not like knowing that, well he probably did. She had been keeping a close eye on it, which in return made the rest worried. Before class started, Tommy walked up to Kim's desk. She didn't seem to notice he was there. He looked down to find her playing with her coin once again.

"Kim," Tommy asked.

"What? Oh hey, Tommy," she said.

Kim put her coin back in her pocket.

"You should really stop taking that thing out," Tommy said.

"I know," Kim sighed.

"Are you feeling okay today, Kim? You look a little out of it," Tommy noticed.

Kim pulled Tommy down to her level.

"It's that dream I told you about," she whispered.

"Is it getting worse," Tommy begged.

"I know who's behind me," Kim said.

"Who? Tell me, Kim, please," Tommy begged.

"It… its Kat," Kim cried.

"No way," Tommy gasped.

He pulled her in his arms. Tears were falling down her face when he let her go.

"Oh, Tommy, what are Rita and Zedd going to do to her," Kim asked.

She had no idea that it had already happened.

"What if they've already done it," Tommy asked.

"Poor Kevin," Kim said.

She wiped a tear away as Tommy hugged her before he sat at his seat.

Everyone decided to go to the beach that day after school. Kim was keeping a close eye on Kat.

"Kim, you okay," Aisha asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she said.

"Come on, last on in the water has to walk home," Jason yelled.

"Oh, you're on," Rocky said.

Kat ran over to Kim's bag and took her power coin. She disappeared to give it to Rita and Zedd.

"Hey, where's Kat," Kevin asked.

"Oh no," Kim whispered. "Tommy, I left my coin. She's going to get it."

"Adam, come over here," he called.

Adam swam over to Tommy and Kim.

"What is it, Tommy," he asked.

"I want you to get Rocky, Aisha, and Kevin out of here. We might have a situation on our hands," he said.

Kat placed Kim's power coin in Rita's hand.

"Here you are, my Queen. Kimberly's power coin is all yours," she said.

"Perfect," Rita smiled.

"Well done, Katherine," Zedd said. "There's no more need for your assistants."

Kat fell to the ground.

"Goldar, send the putties," Zedd commanded.

"Yes, my Lord," he said.

Kat moaned as she turned on the floor.

The putties showed up as the Rangers were getting ready to leave.

"Man," Jason moaned, getting into his stance, "I thought we were going to have a free day today."

"That's why it's good to be prepared," Tommy said. "It's morphin time!"

Kim morphed, but only for a while.

"What's happening," she cried.

"Oh my gosh," Trini said.

"Tommy, help Kim," Zack yelled. "I'll take care of these creeps."

"Tommy," Kim screamed, falling to her knees.

The morphing had done something to her body.

"Kimberly, hold on," Tommy yelled.

He ran over to her and put her behind him.

"Stay behind me," Tommy said.

"Right," Kim nodded.

After fighting, Kim had gotten worse.

"Kim, are you okay," Jason asked.

"I feel weak," she said.

"Are you going to be alright," Tommy asked.

"I'll be fine," Kim said.

Kat woke up and rubbed her eyes.

"Where am I," she asked.

"Thanks for helping out getting rid of the Pink Ranger," Zedd said.

"It… it's you! What the hell did you do to me," Kat asked.

Rita held up Kimberly's power coin.

"You've just destroyed you boyfriend's sister," she laughed.

"Kimberly…" Kat gasped.

"It won't be long before she's no longer the Pink Power Ranger," Goldar said.

"Give it to me, now," Kat yelled.

Zedd laughed and teleported her out.

As everyone was putting their things back up in their bags, Kim's worse fear came true.

"It's gone! My power coin's gone," she cried.

They all ran to her. Kim turned and behind crying on Tommy's bare chest.

"I don't believe it," Billy said.

"Aw man, this can't be happening," Tommy moaned.

"I can't believe my dreams are coming true," Kim cried.

Kat's head slowly appeared from behind a tree. How could she have done this to her?

"I'm going to lose my powers," Kim realized.

"Don't worry," Tommy said, "we'll get your coin back."

"Kim, I'm so sorry," Kat yelled, running from behind the tree.

"How dare you! How dare you still my power coin," she screamed.

"Kim, hold it," Zack said, walking in front of her. "Let her explain."

Zack had to hold on to Kim before she ran to Kat.

"What's there to explain? She stole my power coin, and I want it back," Kim yelled.

"Kim, I was under Rita and Zedd's spell," Kat cried.

She never wanted her boyfriend's sister to hate her.

"How am I supposed to believe you," Kim asked.

"Because…" Kat began.

"Because," Tommy cut Kat off, "Rita and Zedd's magic is extremely powerful. I know from experience."

"Why are you protecting her," Kim asked.

"Kim, you helped me get through the pain of what I did while I was evil," Tommy said. "So, understand that what she did, she did under their influence like I did. Help her like you helped me. Don't make her feel worse."

Pink light began to surround Kim's body.

"What's happening to her," Trini asked.

"Her body seems to be going through some kind of energy drain," Billy said.

"This is all my fault," Kat cried.

"You were under a spell," Trini said. "You had no control of what you were doing."

"We need to get to the Command Center," Jason replied. "You going to be alright, Kat?"

"I'll be just fine. Go help Kim," she insisted.

After Alpha examined Kim, Zordon told them what they had already known.

"Kimberly, your power coin must be reunited with you. Without it, you'll perish," he explained.

"I'm not going to let that happen," Tommy said.

"Is there anything we can do," Zack asked.

"Someone will have to go and get the coin," Alpha replied.

"I'll do it," Tommy said.

He walked closer to Zordon without fear.

"No," Zordon said, "they'll know if you're there or not," Zordon said.

"Then what the hell are we going to do," Trini asked.

"I think I know who can do it," Billy said.

"Who, Billy," Jason asked.

"Alpha, bring Rocky, Adam, and Aisha," he said.

"Tommy, I…" Kim began.

Kim fell into his arms.

"Kimberly," Tommy gasped.

"Come on bro," Jason said, "let me help you get her to the back room."

Tommy could hardly stand to see Kim's weak body on the bed.

Adam, Rocky, and Aisha were walking through the park.

"Do you think Kim's alright," Adam asked.

Aisha shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know," she sighed.

"I hope so," Rocky said.

As they sat underneath a tree, the ground began to shack.

"Earthquake," Adam yelled.

"This doesn't seem like a regular earthquake," Aisha said, falling into Rocky's arms. "Sorry."

"That's okay," he replied.

The three held on to the tree and closed their eyes as they disappeared.

Tommy walked out of the room Kim was in. His eyes were watery.

"I'm not going to lose her, Zordon! Even if that means giving up my powers for real this time," Tommy yelled as three rays of light entered the Command Center.

"Whoa," Rocky said.

"What are we doing here," Aisha asked.

The three looked up at Zordon in shock.

"Well, you've always wanted to see this place," Zack said, trying to smiled, but as much as he tried, he could not.

"Come on, there has to be more to this," Adam replied. "Oh no, where's Kim?"

Zordon transferred Kim's bed to the middle of the Command Center.

"Oh my God," Aisha said, covering her mouth.

"What's happening to her," Rocky asked.

"With Kimberly's power coin missing, I'm afraid she won't survive," Zordon said.

"Oh, Tommy," Aisha cried, embracing him. "I'm so sorry."

"I'm not going to let that happen to her," he said as calmly as he could.

"I know you won't," Adam replied.

"You damn right," Tommy yelled, making a fist.

"Kim's going to live because of you," Jason said. "You won't let anything stand in your way of saving her."

"But I won't be the one saving her this time," Tommy sighed.

Tommy took a deep breath and turned to Billy.

"Can you help her, Billy," he asked.

"I'm trying my best, but I can't get a reading. It's like she's in a deep sleep," he sighed.

"I'll kiss her then," Tommy said.

"I'm afraid a fairy tale ending won't help this matter," Billy told him.

"So, why exactly are we here," Rocky asked.

"We need you three to get Kim's coin back," Trini said.

"You trust us," Aisha asked.

"Yes," Zack said. "If we didn't, we wouldn't have called you."

"More like teleported us," Adam laughed.

The mood turned drastically as Zedd suddenly appeared by the viewing globe. Alpha ran behind Billy.

"You can come out, Alpha," Zedd laughed.

"You scare me. Leave me alone," he said.

Tommy covered Kim with his body. The rest stepped back as Zedd walked closer.

"I…I don't believe it," Jason's voice cracked.

"How did you get here, Zedd," Tommy asked.

"So, Zedd," Zordon said, "I see you finally found a way to get here after all."

Their heads turned to Zordon in shock.

"You knew he could do that," Billy asked.

"We thought he wouldn't find out," Alpha said.

"Shut up," Zedd yelled. "I'm not her to make small talk. I'm here to get your sweet Pink Ranger."

Tommy shook his head angrily.

"You have to go through me first, Zedd, before I'll let you touch any part of Kimberly," he said.

He was holding on to Kim with every ounce of his strength.

"And you'll have to go through us to get through Tommy," Jason said, getting in front of Tommy.

Trini, Aisha, Billy, Adam, Zack, and Rocky followed.

"So I suggest you leave," Zack said.

Zedd threw his head back and laughed.

"What's so funny," Trini asked.

"You Rangers think I have to get through you and your three friends just to get to your little Pink Ranger? Just thinking about it makes me laugh," Zedd said.

Zedd pointed the staff at Kim, and like that, they disappeared.

"Kim, no," Tommy yelled.

Tommy could not believe what had just happened. Kimberly was gone from his arms.

"Kimberly," Tommy screamed.

"Bro come on, snap out of it," Jason said, shacking Tommy's shoulder.

Tommy fell out of his bed and sighed.

"Wait a minute, what am I doing here," he asked.

Tommy looked around to find himself in his room.

"If I've been at home, then where's…" he began.

"Tommy, it wasn't a dream," Billy said.

"Where are Rocky, Adam, and Aisha? And how did I get here," he asked.

"We told them to leave," Trini said.

"That sill doesn't explain how I got here," Tommy replied.

"Um, Tommy…" Zack began.

Zack pointed to his nightstand.

"Oh no, I didn't," Tommy moaned.

On the nightstand, there were at least a dozen beer cans.

"You went on a drinking rampage after…" Jason began.

"Don't remind me, Jason. Damn, that explains this massive headache I have. How the hell did I get a hold of beer anyway," Tommy asked.

"You told us you'd be gone a second and when you returned, you had already had two," Jason said.

"Did my mom…" Tommy began.

"She's not here," Trini said.

"We need to get this shit out of here," Tommy yawned.

"We'll do that," Zack said. "You need to get some rest.

"Wait a minute, where are the other six beers? The box says an eighteen pack," Tommy said.

Zack and Jason looked over at each other.

"You guys didn't," Tommy laughed.

"Hey, we all needed it," Jason said.

"Billy…" Tommy asked.

"One, I swear," he said.

"Trini," Tommy asked.

"I had just one too," she said.

"That means…" Tommy began.

"Jason and I had two each," Zack said.

When Tommy got over his hangover, he changed and teleported to the Command Center where the rest were waiting for him. Aisha, Adam, and Rocky were also there.

"Heard you went a little wild yesterday," Rocky said.

"I wasn't the only one. Besides, could you blame me," Tommy asked.

"No, I can't," Rocky confessed.

"We have to find her," Tommy sighed.

"And we will," Aisha said.

Billy started jumping up and down in joy.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," he said.

"What did you find, Billy," Trini asked.

"I found her! I found Kimberly," he yelled.

"Billy this might seem a little weird, but God I love you," Tommy said.

Billy felt a little uncomfortable as Tommy hugged him, but he had to admit, he would've done the same if it would have been Trini.

"She appears to be in one of Rita and Zedd's dark dimensions," Billy said.

Jason already knew what Tommy was going to do. He put his hand on Tommy's shoulder.

"Tommy, it can be dangerous," he told him.

"Yeah," Adam said, "you're risking your life, and Kim's."

"What about her power coin," Aisha asked.

"We still need to locate it," Alpha said.

"Be careful, bro," Zack replied.

"I don't care what happens to me. I'll do whatever it takes to get Kim back," Tommy said.

Tommy turned to find Kim lying on a flat silver table.

"I'm going to get you out of here, Kimberly," he whispered.

Tommy ran over to her and began picking her up.

"Tommy," Kim asked in a weak voice.

"Don't talk, Kim. You need to get some rest," he said.

"So, White Ranger, I see that you found where I was holding your sweet Kimberly," Zedd replied.

"That's right, Zedd," Tommy said, disappearing.

"You forget. I still have the Pink Power Coin," he laughed.

Zedd opened his hand to reveal Kimberly's coin.

When Kim woke up, it seemed like she had a burst of energy.

"Tommy," she smiled.

Kim jumped off of the table in the Command Center.

"Kim, you're awake," Tommy said.

"Are my powers…" she began.

"They're no longer attached to you," Zordon said.

"Meaning," Trini asked.

"She doesn't have the powers of her coin in her for the time being," Zordon explained.

"You still have some powers," Alpha said, "but only use them if necessary."

AN:

Well, you like it? It's a difference from the original I think. 'Changing of the Zords, one and two.' Part of three also. Funny, there's not even a zord change in my version. Sorry about that if you wanted it.
