A/N: Okay sorry that this wasn't up yesterday but I didn't feel like the chapter was finished and I was right. Anyway I hope that everyone likes this chapter and just a heads up there are only a few more chapters left.

"Billy, what's happening with Kim now?" Jason asked as Tommy's body stopped glowing pink and returned its non-glowing state.
"She is free." Tommy said as he opened his eyes. "She escaped from the Moon Palace." He qualified looking at Jason.
"Is she still evil?" Trini asked looking from Billy to Tommy. She was hoping that Kim was back to normal but she just knew that she wasn't.
"She is." Billy confirmed as Tommy nodded causing everyone to lose a little of their hope. They had hoped that with Zedd chaining her up that she would turn back but that wasn't the case.
"So she just escaped from Zedd and not the evil." Kat stated as Billy nodded. "Well what do we do now?" She asked looking at Tommy. They were in unchartered territory and didn't know what was next.
"Keep an eye for her; she may try to attack Angel Grove. I'm going to try to find my falcon before she shows up again." Tommy said as everyone nodded and watched him disappear in a red streak. They did notice the stronger Tommy that left them this time. It was like he knew that he had to act now or he would lose her forever.
"Rangers, you all need your rest, Alpha and I will keep a watch over Angel Grove." Zordon said as they nodded. "Return to your homes and clear your thoughts." He stated as the rangers did as they were told. Zordon knew that the next battle would be difficult on them since Kimberly's powers were becoming more unstable by the minute. She would attack when she thought she had control over those powers and the rangers needed to be ready when she did.
XXXX
Kimberly appeared in the Dark Dimension before falling to her knees. She gripped her head in pain and tried to gain control of her thoughts. Everything was blurring together so that she couldn't remember what was right and what was wrong. Images were flying around faster than she could catch them so she didn't even try.
She also felt someone always with her now. They wouldn't answer her when she called out. The whispering and wing flaps had her turning around at almost every moment. Something wasn't right but she didn't know how to figure it out. Easing back, she sat down on the floor and watched as the mist rose up around her until her entire body was covered. She was finally at ease as the pain left her body.
Closing her eyes, she heard the sounds of battles of years past. Jason's yells as he battled Goldar and Tommy during Tommy's time as the Evil Green Ranger. Tommy's yells when he was captured to speed up the green candle's melt. Zack, Trini, Billy, and her screams were next when Jason had to rescue them. So many memories were tied up in this one place and it had to stop. All of this had to stop or she would never survive.
Opening her eyes, she finally knew a way to get Tommy to come here. He had to be destroyed so that this images and memories would fade and not cause her pain any longer. Her plan was finally perfect and it would work. He would come because she was going to ask him too and he had always done what she had asked him too in the past.
XXXX
Jason had just come downstairs when the doorbell rang. Since he knew that it wouldn't be his parents, he had a pretty good guess on who was out there. He opened his front door to see all of his friends minus Tommy standing on his front step and had to hold back his smile. "Zordon said that we need rest." He stated as they all nodded. Shaking his head, he sighed and opened the door wider to let them in. "Come on in." He said as they all smiled at him on their way inside.
"Thanks Jason, Trini thought that we need to stay together and come up with a plan on how to help Tommy get his falcon so that we can save Kimberly." Adam said as he moved past Jason and sat down on the couch in the den.
"She did, did she?" He asked as Trini smiled and walked in second to last.
"I did." She confirmed as she kissed his cheek before walking over to sit next to Tanya and Aisha.
"You too, Billy?" Jason asked as he closed the door after Billy walked in.
"Well I know that you are going to need my help in making a plan so how could I stay away?" He asked with a smile. "Plus Kim is one of my oldest friends." He said in serious tones.
Jason shook his head before walking over to his friends. "So what have you guys discussed so far?" He asked sitting down next to Adam and Kat. He knew that that they have to have talked about Kim before making their way over to his house.
"Oh we haven't discussed anything except to come over here." Trini stated with a sly smile aimed at him.
"Don't worry, I think that we can draw Kimberly out or at least Zedd and Rita can." Billy said drawing everyone's attention.
"How will that work? Zedd and Rita are not going to help us." Jason asked as Rocky jumped up and walked into the kitchen.
"Well no they're not but when they do send Goldar or a monster to the park, I have noticed that Kimberly shows up too. She may not show up until later but she is always there." He said as Jason nodded. "Anyway if we can capture her somehow, it would give Tommy enough time to find his falcon, if it is with Kimberly." He said as Jason smiled.
"It's a good idea but how do we capture Kim? I mean I don't want to hurt her even if she is evil." He said as Rocky came back in the room with a tray of food. "Dude, how did you know where everything was?" He asked as Rocky passed out drinks and set the tray in the middle of the coffee table.
"I know kitchens like the back of my hand." He said as everyone laughed. The tension had finally disappeared between them which was good. They may not be resting but at least they were relaxing.
"Okay so back to the topic at hand, how do we capture Kimberly?" Adam asked as everyone finally settled back down with their drinks and snacks.
Billy sighed and looked around the room. "I'm not sure but there has got to be some way. I know that Alpha had captured Tommy when he was the evil Green Ranger but then Tommy escaped so we need something better than that at least." He said as Jason, Zack, and Trini nodded. They remembered when Alpha had caught Tommy because that's how they found out that Tommy was the Evil Green Ranger.
"What if we locked her up in the Power Chamber and leave Tommy alone with her?" Kat asked thinking that it could work with them in the same place that neither could escape.
"I don't think that that's a good idea. I mean she broke through the chains that Zedd was holding her with. She is very powerful at the moment and we need a way to contain her." Tanya pointed out.
"How can you contain a power though?" Zack asked as Billy and Jason shrugged. They didn't know how to contain a power like Kimberly's.
"I think it just comes down to Tommy. He is the key to Kimberly now. We just have to help him find his falcon." Adam stated as Jason nodded.
The rangers discussed different options throughout the night trying to figure out a way for Tommy to reach Kimberly. It was a good thing that it was summer since they stayed up way too late for school if they had to go.
XXXX
Tommy paced his bedroom, trying to focus but nothing was working. He kept seeing Kim in the Dark Dimension and wondered if that's where she was at. He didn't know why she would be there but it made sense if she was. She would want to stay away from the Moon Palace for the time being until she gained control of her powers. She knew now knew that reason why Zedd had wanted to turn her to control her power.
Tommy paused in front of the mirror and stared at himself but what he was really seeing was a boy in white rather than red. He saw an outline of a crane reflecting back at him. The crane looked like she had been crying and she was glowing red, the same red that Kimberly glowed. He had to get her back and soon. Shaking his head, the crane disappeared and he saw himself in a red t-shirt and jeans. Maybe that was the problem; he wasn't the same boy he had been when he had found his falcon.
Walking away from the mirror, he finally sat down at his desk and pulled out a pen and piece of paper. Sometimes he wrote things down just get all his feelings out in the open. It was something that he learned when he had lost his Green Ranger powers the first time. It was also a way that he got to keep in touch with Kimberly while he was gone then when she left for Florida. Actually getting to the phone during that time wasn't easy so the letters made sense. It made sense now, because he had to rediscover the boy that he had been to help Kimberly. He had to learn how to fly again.
An hour later, Tommy felt really good, his mind was clear. Standing up, he walked over to his bed and sat down to try once again to find his falcon. He closed his eyes and saw Kim sitting down in the Dark Dimension with her crane and his falcon close by watching over her. It was like they were waiting for him to come and rescue her like he had done before. He remembered the last time he had seen them like this and that was when he had rescued Kim from Zedd's dimension after battling Zedd. His falcon and her crane had been with her then too waiting for him. He remembered the joy at finally getting her out of there and wanted that feeling back.
"Kimberly." He breathed as a sense of peace settled over him. He only had to get close enough to her and get his falcon then he would work on getting her back.
"I'm coming for you." He whispered with a smile while looking over at the picture of them together. They would be that way again, he would see to that. He would not fail in getting her back because he could not. His falcon and her crane would see to it that he did not fail her as he closed his eyes again.
XXXX
"NO!" Kimberly screamed as she jumped up. She could still feel the words whisper over her body. It was like someone had promised to get her back but she didn't want to come back. Grabbing her head once again, she was almost blinded by the pain. It was almost unbearable but at least she did know how to stop it now. The only way she could stop it now and she had to act. She morphed before disappearing from the Dark Dimension. It was time to stop this pain before it destroyed her.
XXXX
Tommy's eyes popped open before he jumped up and teleported to the Power Chamber. The second he appeared the alarms started going off as if to confirm his worst fear.
"Tommy, what's wrong?" Alpha asked as he checked the scans. It was unusual for the Red Turbo Ranger to show up before the alarms sounded off.
"Something is wrong with Kimberly, I can feel it." He said as Alpha nodded. He knew not to question the Red Ranger. Tommy had had a link with Kimberly for so long that it was no longer questioned on how he knew things before even Zordon did.
"The scans that Billy set up show that Kimberly is in the park right now, morphed." He said looking back at the Red Ranger. It was not a good sign that Kimberly was morphed but at least she was alone at the moment.
"Contact the others; I think that she has finally reached her breaking point." He said as Alpha nodded and did just that. "It's time to act."
XXXX
The others were just talking when their communicators went off. "This cannot be good." Jason muttered before raising his wrist to his mouth. He had a bad feeling that this had something to do with Kimberly. Everyone else gathered around him to hear what Zordon said.
"Rangers, you need to teleport to the Power Chamber immediately." He said through their communicators as they stood up, ready to teleport.
"We're on our way, Zordon." Jason said as everyone gathered around him again.
"I really hope that this isn't something with Kimberly." Trini muttered as they rangers disappeared in colored streaks before appearing in the Power Chamber seconds later.
"Rangers, Kimberly has appeared in the park and I fear that her powers are at a level for concern. They are unstable and her crane is fighting them." Zordon informed them as they nodded. They knew that they had to save her tonight or she wouldn't survive.
"Then we have to help her, Billy please look for any weakness and let me know the moment you do." Tommy said as Billy nodded. He and Aisha backed away from the others watched them as they morphed.
"Shift into Turbo!" Tommy yelled with the other Turbo Rangers.
"Its Morphin Time!" Jason, Trini, and Zack yelled.
"Rangers, I do fear that Zedd and Rita will take advantage of Kim's state and attack so be on your guard. Go and may the power protect you." He said as Tommy and Jason nodded before they all disappeared in colored streaks. Billy and Alpha began working on a way to stabilize Kimberly's powers while Aisha watched the rangers appear in the park in front of Kimberly.
"I'm worried about them, Billy. Do you think that they will be able to fight her?" She asked as Billy looked over at her.
"I wish I knew but I don't. If we cannot stabilize her then it won't matter if they can fight her, her powers will destroy her." He said as Aisha gasped. She didn't think that it was to that point yet but it made sense. Looking back at the screen, she prayed that they found a way to help Kimberly or at least a way for Tommy to help Kimberly.
XXXX
The rangers landed in the park as Kim fired a blast just past them. "Whoa, that was too close." Rocky muttered while they got their bearings.
"Tell me about it." Zack commented while Tommy stepped closer to Kimberly.
"Dude, do you really want to move closer to her at the moment?" Rocky asked as noticing that Kim was glowing red. "She is not in her right mind at the moment."
"We have to stop her so do you have any better ideas?" He asked without looking back at the Blue Ranger.
"None that involve not hurting her." He muttered as Tommy nodded.
"I thought so." He replied watching Kimberly all the while.
"Rangers, its nice of you to finally join me although I did get a little impatient waiting for you." Kim called out motioning to the trash cans and picnic tables with burn holes in them. She had been using them as targets apparently but at least she didn't have anyone captured.
"Kimberly, snap out of this. You are better than this evil." Tommy said taking another step towards her. He could feel his falcon urging him closer.
"I don't think so, I like the new me and once I destroy you, I will never have to worry again." She said firing a shot at him. He managed to dive out of the way but just barely. He wasn't use to Kim firing shots at him and he really didn't like it either.
"Are you alright?" Trini asked as she helped him. Since she was the closest she made it to his side first.
"Yea but I didn't plan on her being that fast with a shot." He said standing up and brushing off his suit.
"Oh look, the love birds what a nice picture." Kim called out sarcastically. "Its so nice, it makes me sick." She said firing another shot this time at Tommy and Trini. Tommy pushed Trini out of the way but didn't get out of the way in time himself. He was thrown back several feet into a tree which had him seeing stars for a couple of seconds.
"Tommy!" Kat yelled out as Trini struggled to get up. Tommy had pushed her farther than she had first thought. Jason was there to help her up while Adam and Kat rushed to Tommy's side to help him.
"Oh he saves you and not himself, what a great guy." Kim stated as her bow appeared in her hands. Everyone had regrouped and faced Kimberly again.
"Okay how did she call that weapon?" Rocky asked as they watched Kim take aim. "This is not fighting fair; we can't use our weapons against her." He said.
"Who cares, we have got to stop her." Jason stated as he tried to think of a way to get that bow away from Kimberly. He knew that she was good with it and he didn't want it fired at him.
XXXX
"So there is your Evil Ranger." Rita commented as Zedd walked over to her. She had been looking out her telescope for the past few minutes and had decided to check on Angel Grove. It was then that she had seen the rangers fighting against Kimberly.
"Well what do you know; the little Pink Ranger is finally fighting those rangers. Goldar, take a group of putties with you to help her out." Zedd said as Goldar bowed and left the Moon Palace.
"Do you think that that will help? You should send Rito to help Goldar. I mean Goldar's track record with them has been zero so far." Rita said causing Zedd to look at her.
"I think that Kimberly and Goldar can handle those rangers this time." He said instead and turned to watch Goldar and the putties appear next to Kimberly. He planned to leave Rito out of it as long as he could.
XXXX
"What are you doing here? I can handle them without you." Kim said under her breath while Goldar laughed. She was not happy that he had shown up and it showed. She was no longer relaxed as she had been facing the rangers.
"I don't think so, pinky." He laughed back while the rangers moved closer to them.
"What's wrong Goldar; you couldn't take it that she was getting the glory?" Tommy questioned as he felt the falcon and crane both crying out to him. Kimberly was close to the edge and he had to do something before she tipped over.
"I can handle you better than she can." Goldar replied as he and the putties began attacking the rangers. Tommy noticed then that Kimberly stayed back and let Goldar fight. If he could get her alone and away from the fight, he would be one step closer to getting her back. How would he get her alone was the question.
XXXX
"I found Kim's weakness." Billy said as he read the printout. His scans had finally come back to confirm his theory. It should have been easy since this was Kim but sometimes the easy answer is the last one thought of.
"What is it?" Aisha asked looking over at him from the screen. She hadn't been happy about the fact that Goldar and some putties showed up but she knew that the rangers could handle them.
"Her heart." Billy replied as Aisha smiled. She knew what that meant and the only one that would get her back. He just needed his chance to try.
"I guess you should tell Tommy." She said turning back to the viewing screen. This was the first good news that they had gotten about Kimberly and it had not come at a better time.
"Me too." Billy said punching a button on the control panel with more zeal that it required but he was just too happy about the news. "Tommy."
XXXX
"Billy, what did you find?" Tommy asked rising his wrist to his mouth. He hoped that Billy had found something and that he could use it against her now.
"Kim's weakness is her heart. You know what to do." Billy said as Tommy smiled under his helmet. He did know what to do; he just had to close enough to her.
"Thanks Billy, I'm on it." Tommy said throwing the nearest putty over his head and to the ground. He had to make a path to Kimberly.
"Tommy, we'll cover you." Jason said from his left side. He hadn't even known that Jason was next to him.
"Thanks." Tommy called back as he looked around at everyone. Goldar was currently fighting against Rocky and Trini but they were handling him with ease at the moment.
"Just get her back." Jason answered as he pulled out his blaster and fired at a putty coming towards Tommy. "Go." He said as Tommy nodded and took off towards Kim. She was firing at Adam at the moment and wasn't watching him. He kicked another putty on his journey towards Kimberly and sent it into a nearby tree. He didn't have time to play with them now.
"I don't think so, Red Ranger." Goldar called out as Tommy turned around and saw Goldar come up behind Jason. Everything seemed to go in slow motion then as Tommy tried to get back to Jason's side. He was the closest and currently the only one not fighting a putty. He just wasn't quick enough though and watched as Goldar came down on Jason's shoulder with his sword. Jason hit his knees as Kimberly let out a scream as if she was in pain. Tommy turned back and watched her fire an arrow off at Goldar. She hit him and it knocked him back away from Jason as the others finished with their putties.
"JASON!" Kim yelled as she hit her knees in pain. Tommy watched as Kat and Adam rushed over to Jason and knew that he had to get to Kimberly now. Knowing that Jason would be looked after, Tommy took off running to Kimberly and reached her side in record time. Goldar got back up then and started waving his sword at Kat and Adam who were keeping him away from Jason at the moment.
"Kimberly." Tommy said coming down next to her while the others fought Goldar and the remaining putties. He knew that the others could handle them; his only job was to get to Kimberly. She was starting to glow red.
"Tommy?" Kim questioned as she looked up at him. He could feel the evil and good fighting within her and he knew what she would say before she opened her mouth. "Come with me?" She asked as her eyes began glowing red as the rest of her body. He knew that it wasn't a good sign but he could feel his falcon next to him telling him to take that leap and he knew that this was the only way to get through to her. Looking back at the others, he noticed that Jason was still on the ground but he was trying to get up with Trini's help. The other rangers had finally made it to his side and were fighting Goldar with ease it seemed.
Looking back at Kim, the same peace that he had felt earlier in his room fell over him as he grabbed her hands. "Let's go." He said as they both stood up and disappeared in a red streak.
XXXX
"Where did they go?" Aisha asked as Billy and Alpha started typing really fast on the control panel.
"I'm not sure Aisha but I know that the falcon and crane are with them." Zordon said in a calming voice. "I trust that Tommy has found a way to get Kimberly back without destroying her." He said as she nodded.
"Where would she take him though? There can't be too many places that she can go." She stated as Billy shook his head.
"I'm afraid that's incorrect." He said as the others landed in the Power Chamber. "She has access to all of Zedd and Rita's dimensions."
"Where did they go?" Trini asked ripping off her helmet.
"I'm not sure but we are working on that and for the moment Tommy is safe and not evil if that makes any difference." He said as Jason groaned.
"You know that it doesn't help at the moment." He said leaning against Rocky and Adam. "Next time, I face Goldar I'm going to be the one swinging the sword." He groaned again as Zack smiled.
"Don't worry; maybe Kim will destroy him before she turns back good." Zack stated. "I can't believe that she shot an arrow at him. I think that the good is coming to the surface." He said as Trini nodded.
"I think seeing Jason hurt helped Tommy more than anything else." Kat said quietly looking back at Jason.
"It certainly did something but I don't know if its helps Tommy or not. We'll just have to wait and see." Billy muttered as he still searched for Tommy and Kimberly. They couldn't be too far; he just had to find them.
XXXX
"Where did she go?" Zedd demanded as Goldar appeared back in the Moon Palace. Zedd's body was glowing red and Goldar backed away in fear. He knew that it meant that Zedd wasn't happy.
"I don't know. She just disappeared with that Red Ranger." He said backing up a few more steps to be on the safe side.
"Find her, she can't have gotten far. I want that Red Ranger destroyed before he can break through the evil. He cannot be permitted to get her back." Zedd yelled as he raised his staff high. "Find her."
XXXX
Kimberly hid her smile as they landed in the Dark Dimension. She finally had Tommy where she wanted him and it hadn't taken a lot to convince him to come with her. She just didn't know what had happened back at the park with Jason. Shaking her head, she looked at Tommy and knew that he would die here like he should have years ago with the Green Candle. She would not fail like Rita and Zedd had.
"Kim? Where are we?" Tommy asked as he took off his helmet and got a good look around. "What? Why are we here?" He asked as he looked at her. This was not the sign that he had wanted. This place was not a reminder he needed about his past.
"This is where you should have died here years ago and now you will." She said as her bow appeared in her hand once again like it did in the park.
"What? Kimberly its me." Tommy said Kim took aim. "Kimberly, wait!" He called out as she took aim.
XXXX
Okay so what did everyone think? Please let me know. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone that has shown an interest in this story. I love you guys!
