Rage was sitting alone on a park bench, the sun had set and the night was cool. He didn't notice when a young woman sat next to him. She seemed so sad and lonely.
"Hey it's you Rage right?" she said looking t him. Rage turned to meet the pink ranger's eyes.
"Yeah it's me, what are you doing out here this late?" he asked.
"I needed somewhere quite to think about things," she said softly. Rage could sense the sadness in her voice.
"What's wrong" he said softly Kim looked at him wondering if she should say anything.
"Some of my friends say that I shouldn't trust you" she said. Rage rubbed his chin as he looked into her eyes.
" Maybe it's for the best, its dangerous to be around me too many people get hurt," said Rage softly. Kim's eyes seemed to feel the same.
"I've hurt someone once, someone that was very close to me" she said. Rage faced her as she continued on. "We were in love, he was always there for me. Even when I got chosen to train for the Plan Global Games. He loved me enough to let me follow my dreams. Then I do the stupidest thing" she paused. Rage's heart just ached. "I broke up with him with a dumb letter. Then time passes and I see him again we don't really talk about it. Then a month ago I see him again for the first time in five years. He told me he forgave me, but I know he was still hurt," she said softly. Rage saw a small tear begin to fall from he cheek he took his finger and whipped it away.
"I am sorry about your friend it sounded like you two had something special," said Rage. Kim looked at him and smiled.
"Yeah we did" said Kim
"So the pink ranger is taking a likely to her new found friend" Zedd said and then faces a dark figure. "Goldar I want you to find out just who this Rage is and why he is here. But be discreet about it, it's not yet time for the rangers to know your back" said Zedd as he glowed red. Goldar bowed down on his right knee.
"Yes Lord Zedd I will find the identity of Rage. You have my word," said Goldar.
Kim and Rage had been sitting there for hours. Kim looked at her watch it was 12:00 am.
"I better be going" she said looking at him, Rage smiled
"Yeah me to, I'll see you around Kimberly" said Rage as he got up and walked away.
Aisha was sitting on the couch in the living room when Kim walked in.
"Where were you I was worried sick" said Aisha hugging her friend. When they broke Kim had a smile on her face.
"I was in the park and just so happens so was Rage we talked for hour" said Kim. Aisha smiled,
"Really what about" she asked
"Stuff like me and Tommy. Rage said he was dangerous that he was afraid to hurt any more people. So I told him about how I hurt Tommy," said Kim. Aisha's eyes just glowed,
"Do you like this guy?" asked her friend. Kim was wondering the same thing had she fallen for this guy.
"I don't know it just seems like I know him, like we've known each other for a long time" said Kim
"But" said Aisha
"I'm still in love with..." tears fell from Kim's eyes as Aisha held her close.
Andros and Zhane were running scans over the Earth when Rage appeared in the control room.
"How do I do it?" he asked walking up to them. Both of them turned around. Andros nodded to Zhane.
"Come with me will talk about it over some hot chocolate" said Zhane getting up and walking over by Rage.
Andros then took a seat back down, him and Zhane had rebuilt the mega ship a few years ago.
"Deca contact Ashley," said Andros silently.
"Yes Andros, starting communication now" said Deca
Rage and Zhane were in the eating room. Zhane took a seat and handed Rage a mug of hot chocolate. Rage could sense something wrong in Zhane's eyes.
"Zhane is there a problem?" asked Rage. Zhane lowered his head
"Yes, our scanners show that Goldar has returned. He's working for Zedd. We are guessing that Zedd has sent Goldar out to find out who Rage is," said Zhane looking straight at Rage.
"Great, now what?" asked Rage
"That is up to you, Tommy. Zordon was not trying to punish you but trying to show you the way. We all lose faith Tommy and want to be alone. Just as you wanted to fight alone. But you can't you need your friends, just as much as they need you. All you have to do is take off those sunglasses and stop hiding in the shadows of the past," said Zhane. Tommy just stared at Zhane as he slowly took off the sunglasses that hid his identity.
"I always did have the ability to take them off didn't I" said Tommy, Zhane smiled
"Yeah you did, come on go get some rest. You will probably have a big day tomorrow," said Zhane drinking the rest up of what was left in his mug. Tommy then got up, as did Zhane.
"Thanks for everything" said Tommy hugging Zhane
"Your welcome" said Zhane with a grin
"Hello" said a soft voice. A young woman that was lying in her bed had just answered the phone. For a moment all was silent.
"Hey Ash" said the voice on the other line
"Andros is that you?" she asked
"Yeah it's me, ah eh how you doing" he asked
"Andros you called me at one in the morning to ask me how I'm doing" she said
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have called," said Andros, as he was about to break the communication.
"Wait Andros" Andros then removed his hand from the button. "I know you wouldn't of called unless it was real important" she said, Andros smiled.
"Yeah, you see Zhane and I will be in for a little bit on Earth. I was just wondering if you would like to meet tomorrow, and talk something's over" he said softly. Ashley knew what he was talking about right away.
"Sure I like that" she said
"Good, I'll call you later on in the afternoon today" said Andors. Ashley looked at her bed stand on it was a picture of her and Andros. It was taken a few days before he left.
Ashley and Andros sat on the couch; he was holding her hand. And looked her deep in her eyes.
"Ash you know I care about you, but, I have to go on this mission it's my job," he said sadly with tears going down his cheeks.
"When will you be back?" she asked sadly. Andros put his head down.
"I'm sorry" he said giving her one last kiss
"Ashley" said Andros, Ashley went back to reality
"Yeah that sounds good, I'll talk to you then bye" she hung up the phone and stared at the photo one more time before falling back to sleep.
Jason, Rocky, Adam, Kim, and Aisha were walking in the park together. Having a good time, until an old enemy appeared in front of them.
"Rangers it's nice to see you again," said Goldar. Jason and the other got in there fighting stances.
"Goldar I thought he was destroyed" said Kim
"We all did" said Adam looking at her. Jason stared at Goldar darkly.
"Were going to make you sorry that you came back, it's morphin time" said Jason
Fully in colorful uniforms the rangers were ready for Goldar. Goldar just laughed at him.
"Fools you can not with, not with out you leader" The rangers froze in their tracks. "Yes I forgot Zedd took care of him didn't he" laughed Goldar. Jason stared at his teammates.
"We can do this guys, for Tommy" said Jason. His teammates all shook their heads. Then together the rangers attacked Goldar head on. But their attempts failed as Goldar flung them to the ground. Slowly they each got up.
"Is it me or had he gotten stronger" said Rocky. All of them stared at Jason for an answer. Goldar was getting ready to blast at the rangers. When a young man jumped Goldar to the ground.
"Rage" said Kim; Goldar looked at the young man with sunglasses.
"So you are Rage, I will deal with you NOW" said Goldar getting up. First he sung in with a punch but Rage blocked it and kicked Goldar in the chest.
"Oh come on Goldar I know you can do better than that" said Tommy as he threw off his sunglasses. Goldar just stared at him ah.
"But how, Zedd he destroyed you" said Goldar. Tommy just smiled,
"Nope I'm still here, rangers are you ready," asked Tommy staring at them. Kim couldn't believe it.
"I knew there was something about you" said Kim, Tommy just smiled and Jason nodded.
"All right white ranger power" said Tommy as he morphed into the white ranger. Goldar just laughed.
"Rangers even with your leader I am more powerful that you can handle" mocked Goldar.
"Yeah will see about that," said Rocky. Tommy turned to his teammates
"All right guys just like old times," said Tommy.
The rangers stood together as one team. Together the rangers fought Goldar their best. He had not lied he was a lot stronger and Tommy and the others knew it. Goldar then slashed all the rangers, but Tommy to the ground. Tommy had jumped out of the way. The blast that hit them was very strong the five laid on the ground unmorphed trying to get up. Goldar saw this as a chance to finish them. He was getting ready to do a powerful blast. Tommy drew out his Saba saber.
"Power shield" yelled Tommy as he through his weapon to the ground by Jason and the others. A shield then appeared around his friends. Goldar was powering up was just about finished. The rangers watched in fear, as Tommy stood there weaponless.
"Fool" said Goldar blasting at Tommy. A big explosion hit, smoke filled the air. The shield that was protecting the rangers went down, the Saba saber had disappeared. Kim then ran towards Tommy who lay on the ground unmoving. "Until next time rangers" he said as he disappeared away.
Aisha and the others were about to run towards Kim when Jason stopped them
"No guys" he said
Tears filled Kim's eyes Tommy was in her arms not moving. Slowly he began to open his eyes and looked up at her.
"Kim" he said softly, Kim looked down,
"Tommy your okay" she said with a smile. She then helped him to his feet. The two looked up ahead and saw their friends. But they went in a different direction.
"Where do you thing their going?" asked Rocky watching them leave
Tommy and Kim went to Tommy's house; the two sat on his couch and began to talk. Tommy had bruises and cuts all over his body. Kim looked at him with concerned eyes.
"Tommy your hurt maybe we should go to the command center" she said, Tommy looked at her
"No I'm okay I've been hurt worse" he said softly looking at her. Kim knew what he meant she felt bad.
"Yeah" she said softly, Tommy needed to know he wanted to know
"Why'd you do it, was what we had nothing?" asked Tommy as tears dropped from his eyes. Kim soon developed tears as well.
"What we had was special, when I was in Florida I was away from everyone I knew and you. Things just got so messed up and I wrote you that letter. I have regretted everyday of my like for sending you it. You'll never know how sorry I am for doing that," she said.
Tommy looked at her with his caring eyes and whipped away her tears. He slowly leaned down, to meet her lip and for the first time in years. The two shared a long awaited kiss. It only lasted a few seconds but felt like a lifetime.
Andros knocked on the door of an apartment building. Ashley slowly opens the door and looked at Andros. He still was the same old Andros he hadn't changed; it had been a while senses she last him. She smiled but seemed to be distant.
"Come on it" she said softly, Andros looked at her and smiled he had missed her a lot.
"Thanks" he said Kindly as he walked in; the two then sat down together. Andros looked into her eyes. "I'm sorry about everything, about us and leaving you. I know I hurt you Ashley and I wanted you to know that I'm sorry," he said as he got up from his seat and began walking towards the door. Only a second later felt the arms of her around him.
"Please let me come with you," she said with tears in her eyes. Andros turned and faced her. And washed away the tears with his hands.
"You know you can't come it's too dangerous. And I don't know when I would be back. You have your life here; your family is here. Not on this mission" said Andros as he gave her one last hug. "Goodbye Ashley thank you for always caring" he said and then he walked away.
Zedd paced back and forth and then stopped and faced Goldar.
"Good work Goldar you found out the identity of Rage, but only to have found out that Tommy is not dead" said Zedd. Goldar stood in pride,
"Lord Zedd in time I will see to it that Tommy is destroyed," said Goldar, Zedd glowed a dark red.
"See to it that you do not fail," said Zedd.
Tommy and Kim stared at each other for a long moment. Kim did not suspect that he would kiss her. Kim smiled
"We can talk later right now I think I want to be in your arms. A place I haven't been in a long time," said Kim. Tommy smiled he to miss her a lot, he moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. And then bends down and gave her another kiss. He knew in his heart he had always loved Kim and never stopped. Soon he would have to tell Kim his story about what happened to Dave and everything. But at this moment with her in her arms everything felt right.
