A beautiful pink crane laid stood in Kimberly's place and it was panting heavily. "Tommy, we need to find a place to hide," Kimberly whispered as he rushed over to her side. "I am sure they are looking for us."

"But, where can we go?" Tommy asked as they began to look around. The size of Lunar Palace looked much bigger than it did when they were humans. "When this first happened before, you found a small hole in the wall in the throne room."

"Tommy, that's prefect," Kimberly gasped as her face lit up. They began to look around from cracks in the wall. Next to the laundry shoot there was a small opening in the wall that looked like it was big enough for them get through. She got Tommy's attention and they quickly went through the opening. Heavy footsteps were coming down the hall. "They're coming."

Tommy noticed there were pipes leaking above them and a down the long hall. "Kim, I think we need to follow the light and see where it leads us," Tommy suggested. They started walking down the cave like path, suddenly Kimberly collapsed. "Are you okay?"

She stretched out her left wing and teeth marks were in it, along with a bruise and beads of blood. "I got bitten-"

"-By Rita," Tommy finished as he grabbed her by the scuff of the neck and fly the rest of way to the other end of tunnel. They laid down to rest and head the villains' talking.

"I can't believe they got away!" Alvin complained as he kicked Rito in the knee and punched him hard in the chest.

Irina walked over to her son and put her hand on her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure they are here somewhere in the castle," she assured him. "We'll find them and use the spell to turn the pink ranger into-"

Rita threw her wand on the floor when she took a seat next to her husband on her throne. "I found the potato sack she was wearing and the laundry shoot was opened," she barked as she crosses her arms over her chest. "I fear the pink ranger kissed Tommy after hearing Rito read a passage in the book and talking about the falcon and the crane legend."

"So, the legend is true?" Rito asked as he was pacing the room.

"Yes, brother, it is true!" Rita yelled as she glared at him with anger. "Didn't you read the whole legend? If you whole passage you would understand why we're so angry with you!"

Rito shook his head no when he considered the angry eyes of his sister. "Kimberly and Tommy are married now!" Zedd explained to his brother in-law. "In the legend, it says if the two are married, they will possess the powers of a real falcon and a real crane have! It says that a falcon and a crane are soul mates bonded together. They have their own power but get part of their power from their soulmate. They can consider each other's heard and mind. And they share the same heart, soul, and mind even though they have two different bodies."

"Ed, what does that mean?"

"It's Zedd, how many times do I have to tell you?!" Zedd hollered as he hit Rito with a strong blast and he hit the wall. "Z-E-D-D! Got it memorized?!"

Alvin took a seat next to Rita's telescope. "It means they can now read each other's mind and heart," Alvin stated while he watched his mother pace around the room. "And I believe it is possible for them to combine their powers which is twice as strong."

Tommy and Kimberly laid away from the opening. Tommy's eyes were locked on Kimberly's injured wing which was stretched out on the floor. "I'm wish I could've been there to prevent you from being tortured," he began as his eyes began to tear up. "When I heard you screaming, I thought I was going to lose you. You sound like you were in a lot of pain."

He lowered his head and tears began to run down his feathery face. His tears landed on her long pink injured wing. "Tommy, the pain in wing is leaving," Kimberly gasped as her wing began to heal. "Do you think it's possible that-"

"That the falcon and crane legend that we heard about is true?" Tommy finished as he watched Kimberly's wing finish healing. "Yes, I do. When I heard you being tortured, I could almost feel the pain myself. And I could look into your mind and you were afraid and wanted someone to come save you from the torture."

"When my wing was healing it was like we were sharing energy and power with each other," she stated as she moved her wing without having any pain. She tried to stand up, but she was still weak from being hit with the red light and the magic from the flute.

"Maybe you should rest for a while," Tommy suggested. He laid down beside her and took her under his long white and feathery wing. "We'll start looking for a way out of here after we both get some rest."

Kimberly began to nuzzle Tommy affectionately. "Hey, Tommy, did they force you to become a falcon?" Kimberly asked and she saw Tommy shake his head yes. "Why did you allow that to happen?"

"That was the only way that they'd stop torturing you," he revealed as looked into her face.

"Tommy, you knew that they would put us back in that same cage again," Kimberly warned as she heard water dripping from the pipes above. "You didn't deserve that. I didn't want that for you."

He felt a drop of water hit his back, so they moved into a corner away from the leaking pipes. "I didn't want to lose you either," he answered in a sharp voice. "I figured I'd eventually become a falcon again anyway. If I recall correctly, as soon the villains' placed me in your arms, you took off running."

She began to blush while gazing into his warm chocolate eyes. "I knew I was going to be crane anyway," Kimberly sighed. "I at least wanted to us to be close to an area in this castle for us to hide."

"I would've done the same," Tommy confessed while he stretched his wing over her when he felt her shivering. "You were willing to even kiss me even though you'd become a crane."

"It was better that way," she explained as she snuggled closer to Tommy. "If Zedd hit me with the spell, we'd be stuck this way forever. If I kissed you, we'd at least have a chance of becoming humans again."

Kimberly and Tommy let out a yawn as they both woke up after getting a peaceful good night's rest. "Morning, Beautiful," Tommy greeted as they were waking up. "Did you get a good night's sleep?"

"I did," she answered as they got up and started walking around trying more openings in the wall.

"Kim, I see an opening up there," he pointed out as he looked up at one of the tall walls. "Maybe we can go up there. Do you think you can fly up there?"

"I think so," she replied. They both flew all the way to the top of the wall having to fly around the zigzagged pipes along the way. When they got to the top, both rested on a pipe to catch their breath.

"I'm going to have the parents of Angel Grove dig up the twin machines that were hidden outside of Angel Grove," Alvin announced. Tommy and Kimberly remained quiet as they tried to listen to what he was saying. "I'm passing out ooze that is turning the parents of Angel Grove into zombies."

"I think Tommy and Kimberly have escaped," Irina warned. "They aren't in this castle at all."

"Don't worry," Alvin assured her. "We'll be able to spot the white falcon and the pink crane easily."

"GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Zedd shouted.

"We better get down stairs," Irina suggested. "By the way, what do your twin machines look like?"

"One's a tiger and one's a dragon," Alvin answered.

Kimberly and Tommy waited until it got quiet and flew the rest of the way to until they got to a window. It appeared to just be an empty room, but the wall and ceiling was covered in purple ooze wads. "I wonder what this room is used for?" Kimberly wondered as she flew into the room.

"I have no idea," Tommy responded. "I bet it would take a long time to scrap the ooze bizarre. I would hate to be the person that gets stuck cleaning up this mess."

A portal opened in the middle of room and their hearts leapt with excitement. "Do you think this is our ticket out of here?" Kimberly whispered as she stared at the portal.

"I bet it is!" Tommy exclaimed. "Let's get out of here!" They both quickly flew through the portal.

Both came out in a backyard with a tall fence all around it. It had a huge swimming pool in the middle of the yard. In a corner, there was an outdoor hot tube gazebo. The gazebo even had curtains that could be closed for privacy. A large stone like bird bath sat next to the fancy porch deck. And in the back of the yard there was blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry bushes.

"I know where we are," Tommy stated as he looked around at the familiar environment. "This is my backyard. I bet we're the only ones here. I... just hope my parents are okay." He noticed there was a pair of red swimming trunks and a pair of black flip flops by the pool. A beautiful pink floral one-piece swimsuit was laying in near the lawn chair next to a pair of pink flip flops and a pair of sun glasses. A red beach towel and pink beach towel was laying close to the back door leading into the house. It dawned on Tommy his parents had been out in the pool, when Alvin captured them.

Kimberly watched him turn his head away and she noticed the sadness in his eyes. She walked over to where he was and wrapped her wing around him. "Tommy, I'm sorry you had to find this," she said as a tear ran down her face. "If you need some time alone, I understand."

"Let's go over to the gazebo," he mumbled as he flew over to the gazebo and went behind the curtains. He laid down on the edge next to the warm hot tube. Kimberly flew in a few minutes after breaking off a branch from the raspberry bush.

"I got us some berries," she informed him as she laid the branch down next to him. It was a long branch that had enough berries for them to get one meal from. "It's been awhile since we've ate."

"Thank, Beautiful," he answered as they started to eat the berries.

"This whole situation with the ooze family has horrible," she sighed as she laid her head on his shoulder. "I never thought that Ivan Ooze had any relatives left."

"Kimberly, we need to talk about our relationships," he mumbled and she immediately swallowed her berry. "I don't know even how to begin-"

She looked into his troubled eyes with worry and concern. "-Tommy, does this have to do with us or other people?" she asked in a cold voice. "I hope I haven't done anything to hurt you."

"Kim, you haven't done anything," he assured her as he pulled her close to him. "I've always wanted you for my beautiful wife, that hasn't changed. I love you more than you'll ever know or realize, that hasn't changed." He stepped back and looked her straight in the face. Her beautiful eyes were begging for answers.

He didn't know how to tell her because he knew it would just as hard for her. "Right now, we're in a tight spot," he began as she started to slowly walk over to him. "Once again, we have claws, wings, and beaks. If anyone saw us, they won't know it was us. They'd just think we were a falcon and a crane. No matter how hard we tried, no one would understand what we were saying. They would just think we were squawking at them-"

"-I know what you mean. It isn't every day you see a pink crane and a white falcon-"

"-That's what I'm trying to say. We could end up in the zoo or poachers would be after us. And after learning the falcon and crane legend is true, I need to find a safe place to stay at for a while."

"We can go to the command center. We'd both be safe there-"

"-Kim, I'm not ready for them to see me like this," he said in a slow whisper.

"Why? You know that I'm coming with you," she said when he started looking at his reflection in the water. "We could fly to the command center tonight and only Zordon and Alpha would see us. I'm sure they'd let us have time to ourselves before our friends saw us."

"I'm sorry, I don't think it's a good idea if we go now."

"You must have a good reason you don't want to go there now."

"Because they probably don't know about the rest of the falcon and the crane legend," he said while he couldn't look her in the eyes. He had to tell her something because he didn't want to go there for a while. There was more to the story. He felt useless because he couldn't tell them what he knew. And it hurt him that he couldn't do anything to help the team out. Plus, he didn't want the command center to be attacked again or any of his friend's parents to come up missing.

"Tommy," Kimberly said in a soft gentle voice when she laid next to him.

Tommy became very irritated that she was questioning him. "I'm sick of all this!" he clipped as he began to take his anger out on Kimberly. "The stupid ooze family, Rita, and Zedd has taken everything thing good that I have in my life! They've taken my parents, ruined our wedding night, and we're a falcon and a crane again. They have made caused me to be angry and have hatred inside of me!"

"Tommy, please listen," Kimberly began in a concerned voice as she tried to comfort him. "I know-"

"No, you listen," he hissed as he backed away from him. "I thought we were done with Ivan two years ago. But, no! His wife and son are just as bad! They'll come back and hurt us some more!"

"Tommy, Please-"

"-Don't say anything," he shouted while he had to look away from her when she walked over to him. "JUST GO AWAY!

"Nothing is wrong with me!" Tommy clipped as he looked stepped away from her. "I DON'T NEED YOUR SYMAPTHY!"

Kimberly stepped back and looked at him with pools of tears in her eyes. "I was just trying to help," she tried to assure him.

"JUST GO AND JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Kimberly got up with huge tears streaming down her eyes. She went outside and laid outside the curtain leaving Tommy there alone.

Several hours flew by as Tommy stayed in the outdoor gazebo. All he could think about was his argument with Kimberly. They had arguments before in the past and they always made up and tried to work things out. He realized how he had made her feel terrible. "I shouldn't have taken my anger out on him," he thought as he started heading back in the open. He jumped when he heard a clap of thunder. Just then he heard rain pounding on the roof of the gazebo. "She needs to get back in here where its safe and dry."

He walked outside and was immediately soaked from the heavy down pour. "Kim, you need to come in," he requested after he stepped behind the curtain. But, she wasn't out there. He searched the entire back yard and she was nowhere to be found. Tommy felt his heart shatter realized that she had took what he said to heart and left. Where was she? Was she hurt? He had to know and he had to let her know that he still wanted her. He left the familiar area and bravely flew through the storm searching for his mate. "How could I have taken my anger out on her? I wouldn't be surprised if her reason for leaving was because she didn't want nothing more to do with me."

Meanwhile, Kimberly was flying around taking time to calm down before she faced Tommy. She felt heavy rain drops hit her wings and heard a crash of thunder. After seeing a bolt of blue lighting close by, she immediately knew she had to take shelter. She spotted an ally way with a huge green dumpster and immediately flew towards the dumpster and took cover underneath it. "I made a foolish choice," she scolded herself while she began to shiver when she felt the wind take up. Her heart leapt with fear when she looked into Tommy's heart and mind. He was out in the storm searching for her and he was scared that she was hurt somewhere. "He shouldn't be out in this. If he's hurt, it all my fault." The rain drops were beating on the dumpster.

Kimberly slowly got out from underneath the dumpster without noticing a white cat was waiting on top of the dumpster. "Finally, you've came out!" the cat exclaimed with joy as she jumped down at landed on her. She wasn't like an ordinary cat. Most cats hated to get rain and would have ran to find a place to take shelter. But, this cat appeared like it didn't care that it was raining. She only had her mind on one thing only, which was her prey. "I saw you go under there where it started raining! I sensed fear in you this whole time. You are worthless! The cat flipped her over on her back and pinned to her to the ground.

"Please let me up!" Kimberly pleaded as she felt the sharp claws in her body.

The cat raised its front paw in the air getting ready to attack her. But, something flew in and ran something sharp across the cat's head. Three bright red stripes were left its head. "Show yourself!" demanded the cat as she jumped of Kimberly and began to look in all directions. Whatever attacked her was moving around at a very fast pace. Whatever attacked her was white as snow and it had sharp claws. It immediately dawned on her that it was a white bird that attacked her. "I'm not going to be out smarted by a stupid bird!"

She looked around again as the rain was falling heavily. "Rain isn't going to stop me," hissed the angry cat. "Now you're mine!" the cat warned as she was walking close towards Kimberly. Kimberly started to flap her wings to fly a way, while she still had the chance. She was a few feet off the ground, but cat jumped up and grabbed her by the tail feathers and pulled her back down. A white paw smacked Kimberly back down on the ground and she couldn't move a muscle.

"Help me!" Kimberly cried out. She felt the sharp claws sink deeper into her body this time. The white cat opened her mouth wide showing her sharp white teeth.

"That white bird can't do as much damage as me!" smirked the cat. It lowered its eat and was about to bite Kimberly until the fast-white bird swooped down and scratched her again. Three long wide red lines were now on the cats back. Strikes of blood were running down the cat's face and beads of blood were beginning to run down her back.

"Whatever is out here seems to be dangerous," Kimberly announced as the cat was walking over to her again. "Maybe you should take cover!"

"And leave you lying on the ground?! I think not!" shouted the angry cat. She glared at Kimberly as she steps closer to her. "You can't fly away because I injured you. At last you are mine!"

"Tommy, where are you?" she wondered when she tears pouring down her face.

"Say, your prayers!" shouted the mean and angry cat when she jumped on Kimberly. From out of nowhere, the white bird appeared out of nowhere and started pecking the cat on the head stop. "STOP PECKING ME!"

"Very well," answered a familiar voice.

"LET ME GO!" the cat barked when she felt something left her off the ground. "PUT ME DOWN!" She went up high and higher into the sky until she above a huge sliding board.

"This looks like a nice place to leave you." The cat felt the sharp claws let go off her and she fell on the slide. The top of the slide was slick and she stepped back and slide down the steep slide and landed into a mud puddle. When the cat looked up she got a better view of the bird. It wasn't just a white bird, it was a white falcon. She watched the falcon break of a branch on a black berry bush. He picked it up with his beak and flew away.

Tommy quickly flew back to the ally way that he knew very well and hoped he'd never have go back to... because it was the place where he was attacked by the putties and was placed under an evil spell to be the evil green ranger. He landed next to a metal trash can. Tommy slowly explored the place hoping Kimberly was still there and more importantly still alive. As he walked around he saw on beautiful pink figure laying on the ground. "KIM!" he fretted as he rushed to her side. When he reached her she was unconscious?

The rain came down heavier, this time he could barely see what was in front of him. That meant they'd have to take shelter underneath the dumpster. He gently scooted her underneath the dumpster and laid the branch with delicious blackberries next to her. "You're okay now," he said when examined her body. "Please wake up soon."

Kimberly felt something nuzzling her. It felt almost as nice as one of Tommy's kisses. Her eyes slowly opened when she felt something warm splash on her face. "Tommy," she muttered as she started to begin to wake up. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for you," he answered in a relieved voice. Tommy gathered her in his wings. Just knowing she was safe and alive felt wonderful. "I mean if you still want me."

"How could you even think that I didn't want you?"

"When I went outside the gazebo, you were gone. I knew that I really hurt you and that's why you left."

She began to nuzzle him affectionately. "Tommy, I was just going to fly around for a while and then come," she started. "But, the heavy down pour occurred and I had to take shelter. When I sensed that you were out in that storm, I had to know you were okay. As soon as I got out from under here, the cat attacked me-"

"-Kim," Tommy interrupted as he felt her breathing hard. "It's okay. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. I guess I didn't want you to see how angry and scared I was and am."

The heavy wind began to pick up and they could feel the cold wind cut their skin. "I feel the same way you do," she confessed as they both began to shiver. "We're scared and on the run, we can't communicate with anyone else, and we're a falcon and a crane again."

He looked down into her eyes that were full of anxiety. "We'll get through this," he assured her. "We'll learn to use our power and defeat the ooze family for the last time."

"How will we do it?" Kimberly asked while burrowing closer into his chest to stay warm. "We'd need a place to train, where no one can find us."

"We'll look for a place in the morning," Tommy yawned as he let go off her. He walked over to the edge of the dumpster and found an old ragged baby blanket. He brought it back to where they were resting and laid it on the ground. "I wish I could've found something warmer than this."

"Tommy, it's fine."

They both rested on the blanket and laid huddled together. "Kim, we're going to have leave early in the morning so no one sees us," he warned as he felt her curl up next to him.

"Where will we go?"

"Maybe to a cave or-" he paused as he realized where they'd be the safest at. "I think you were right. We'd probably be safer at the command center."
