Silver Hope
Chapter 12
Katherine yawned as her eyes fluttered open. She found that she was still
on Billy's couch and thoroughly wrapped in his arms. She pecked him on
the lips. Billy's eyes opened.
"Wow, what a way to wake up," Billy said with a smile. Kat giggled as she
kissed him again.
Summer had just started and they knew it would be one of the best
summer's ever.
The phone rang and Billy picked it up.
"Hello," Billy said into the receiver.
"Hey Bill, what's up?" Tommy said.
"Hey Tommy, not much, just woke up actually.
"Well, why don't you get your swim stuff, and Kat and meet us at Ernie's
beach cafe," Tommy said.
"Sounds great, Kat and I'll meet you there soon," Billy replied.
"Ok, see ya there," Tommy said as he hung up the phone. Billy told Kat
about the plans. He got his stuff and then stopped at Kat's house so she
could get her stuff. After that, they headed for Ernie's summer cafe
on the beach.
"This is great!" Kat said as they got out of Billy's car.
"Yea, let's go," Billy said.
"Hey guys!" Kat called.
"Hey you two!" Aisha called. Billy and Kat joined the others, which
included the whole gang. Even Dulcea, Bulk, and Skull.
"Billy, will you rub some sunscreen on my back for me?" Kat asked
sweetly. Billy blushed, but then gladly obliged. The girls laid out in the
sun, while the boys swam and canoed.
Kat got up to go to get a drink. As she was walking, Billy snuck up behind
her.
Kim saw the prelude of a prank, and attempted to warn Kat.
"Kat, watch out!" Kim called. Kat looked behind her. But it was too late.
Billy swooped her up and began carrying her towards the lake.
"Oh no, Billy, put me down!" Kat told him. Billy only smirked as he ran into
the lake and dropped Kat into the water, soaking her. Billy stood over
her, smirking at the beauty of his handy work. Kat looked up at her
boyfriend with a look in her eyes that said: You better run.
Billy saw the look and bolted off through the sand. Kat was hot on his
heels, determined to get him back. Billy ran, but stopped when he found
four other girls in his path. Kim, Trini, Aisha, and Tanya weren't going to let
him get away. Kat caught up and wrapped her arms around his
shoulders. Billy turned and faced her.
"You are so bad. What am I going to do with you?" Kat asked him. Billy
smirked.
"I don't know, what do you do with bad boys like me?" Billy asked.
"Something like this," Kat replied as she kissed him.
"Remind me to be bad more often," Billy said. Kat smiled and playfully
smacked him in the stomach.
Suddenly, Cestria appeared with seven other people.
"This day was perfect until she showed up," Kat mumbled.
"Why don't you get lost fish girl," Tommy said.
"I just came to introduce Zedd's new fighting force to you," Cestria said.
"You're the new fighting force? What happened? Did Zedd finally run
out of pathetic monsters?" Aisha asked.
"Not quite. Zedd is taking a new approach. I have gathered humans
that hate the power rangers, and Zedd has equipped them with special
powers and enhanced fighting skills. Let me introduce my team," Cestria
began.
"I'm sure you all know Sean. Now onto new members.
This is Jeff and Jessie Baker" Cestria said. Jeff and Jessie were brother
and sister. They wore black leather and looked like bikers.
"Jeff and Jessie hate people in general. They basically joined us for the
power," Cestria said.
"I'm sure you remember Violet, don't you Billy? Things didn't work out for
you guys. She thinks that you didn't give the relationship a chance. And
her sister was killed in an attack recently, so she doesn't like the rangers
much. But she knows that you are reserved for me Billy," Cestria said with
a smirk.
"This young woman is Chloe Carter. Her father was killed in an attack,
and her mother is in a coma because of an attack. She never really has
liked the power rangers, but she wants revenge for her parents," Cestria
said. Chloe was tall, with long dark hair and chocolate eyes.
"This is Kyle Taylor. He's Sean's cousin, and shares his hate for you
rangers," Cestria said. Kyle was taller than Sean, but resembled him.
Cestria came to the last member, whose back had been to them the
whole time. He had a black bandana tied around his head, ninja style.
"And I'm sure you are all familiar with him, especially you Billy," Cestria
said as he turned around. The rangers' eyes widened and they all
gasped.
"Meet Wil Cranston, your clone Billy," Cestria said.
"Hello Billy, I'm back," Wil said with a smirk.
Kat unconsciously grasped Billy's arm tighter as Wil approached her. He
came within inches of her. Billy intervened by standing protectively in
front of her.
"I must say, we have good taste," Wil said as he backed away. Billy
glared at his clone.
"So you've shown us you're scary little group, now why don't you leave,"
Adam said.
"Without a fight? I don't think so," Cestria said, as the members of the
group began to pick their opponents.
"Should we morph?" Kim asked.
"No, we outnumber them. Let's see what we can do before we have to
morph," Billy replied. The others agreed and went into fighting stances.
A hoard of Tengucogs and Arachnids appeared.
Tommy, Dulcea, Trini, Zack, and Tanya went after the Tengucogs and
Arachnids, while the other rangers took on one of Zedd's new fighters.
Jessie faced off against Aisha. Aisha threw a fury of punches at
Jessie, but she blocked every one of them.
"Is that the best you got little girl?" Jessie asked. Fire burned in Aisha's
eyes. She was not a little girl. Aisha delivered a spin kick and knocked
Jessie to the ground. Jessie quickly regained her composure. This battle
was far from over, and Aisha knew it. With monsters, she was never afraid
of hurting them. But these people were human. Even if they did work for
Zedd, they were still human.
Jeff took on Jason. Both were intense fighters. Jason could tell by
his style that Jeff knew how to fight even before joining up with Zedd. Jeff
was able to match Jason blow for blow. No matter what he tried, Jason
couldn't land a blow, but so far Jeff couldn't either.
Kim had known Chloe Carter since grade school. They had been
cheerleaders together, but had a falling out when Chloe and the other
girls chose to exclude Aisha from their club.
"Chloe, why are you doing this?" Kim asked.
"Because of you and your stupid friends, my father is dead. And my
mother may as well be. You could have stopped the attacks!" Chloe
yelled.
"Chloe, we did everything in our power! You should be angry with Zedd!
He killed your father!" Kim yelled.
"No! He's given me power and shown me the side that I'm meant to be
a part of," Chloe said as she punched Kim in the gut. Kim's breath
caught, but she retaliated with a punch to Chloe's jaw. The two girls
continued to fight each other furiously.
Kyle faced off against Rocky. Rocky wasted no time in laying his
best moves on Kyle. But Kyle managed to match Rocky.
"What do you hope to gain by defeating us? This is senseless" Rocky
asked.
"We don't hope to defeat you. We hope to murder you," Kyle replied
coldly.
"Well, you're in for one hell of a fight," Rocky said as he fought more
intensely. He managed to land a few blows, but the fight was still far from
over.
"You won't win this time Adam. Not like you did in the
tournament," Sean said.
"We'll see Sean," Adam replied.
"And after I'll kill you, maybe I'll spare that gorgeous girl of yours," Sean
said evilly. Fire burned in Adam's eyes.
"Stay away from Trini!" Adam growled.
He launched himself at Sean with
burning rage. He would not let them destroy his future, and the earth's
future.
"After I kill you kitten, Billy will finally be mine," Cestria said.
"Billy will NEVER be yours. I want you to get that straight," Kat growled.
"Oh he will be. And until he is, I will haunt you both," Cestria said. Kat
went into fighting stance, but Cestria remained still.
"I'm not going to waste time with fists like the others," Cestria said as pink bolts of power exited her fingers and hit Kat. Kat screamed out in pain.
The pain brought Kat to her knees. Cestria smiled evilly as she watched
Kat agonize in pain.
Billy fought Wil in hand to hand combat. Fighting his own face felt
very odd. His clone knew all his moves and was matching him. Billy
heard Kat cry out and his eyes darted to her position. Wil caught him off
guard and punched him in the chin. Billy fell to the ground. He decided
that it was time.
"Guys regroup!" Billy called.
Tommy, Dulcea, Trini, Zack, and Tanya were able to hold off the
Tengucogs and the Arachnids and regrouped.
"Let's morph guys so we give the others time to morph!" Tommy called.
"Right!" they called.
"White Tiger!" Dulcea called.
"Mastodon!" Zack called.
"Saber-toothed Tiger!" Trini called.
"Zeo Ranger 2-Yellow, Power of Sun!" called Tanya.
"Zeo Ranger 5-Red, Power of Fire!" called Tommy.
Dulcea went to help Jason. She faced Jeff, allowing Jason to
regroup with the others.
Tanya took over for Aisha against Jessie, while Trini took over for Kim
against Chloe. Zack took over for Adam and Tommy took over for Rocky.
Jason, Kim, Adam, Rocky, and Aisha regrouped.
"All right guys, it's Morphin Time!" Jason called.
"Pterodactyl!" Kim called.
"Triceratops!" Aisha called.
"Tyrannosaurs!" Jason called.
"Zeo Ranger 3-Blue, Power of Water!" Rocky called.
"Zeo Ranger 4-Green, Power of Earth!" Adam called.
Billy landed a good kick in Wil's gut. He took the opportunity and
flipped away from him and prepared to morph.
"Power of the Wolf, Power of Pegasus, Silver Ranger Power!" Billy called as
he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Rocky and Adam double-teamed Wil, while Billy went to help Kat.
Kat's vision became blurry as she began to lose consciousness. The
pain was too much. But suddenly, it stopped. She looked up, her vision
becoming clear again. She could see Billy blocking Cestria's power jolts
with his metallic armor.
Cestria growled and ceased her jolts. She regrouped with her team
"Let's show the rangers our costumes," Cestria said. As she said that, they
transformed into ranger-like costumes. Each costume was a solid color
with a black Z on the belt buckles. Each helmet face was shaped like a
half circle.
Cestria's was dark pink, Wil's was midnight blue, Sean's was jade green,
Kyle's was maroon, Chloe's was dark purple, Jeff's was black, and Jessie's
was orange.
Billy helped Kat up.
"Are you okay?" Billy asked.
"Yea, I'll be fine. It's Morphin Time!
Zeo Ranger 1-Pink, Power of Wind!" Kat called.
"How did they get ranger powers?" Aisha wondered.
"I don't think these powers have anything to do with the morphing grid.
My guess is Zedd just simulated suits for them and gave them powers,"
Billy replied.
The rangers, evil and good, fought each other furiously. But bringing
themselves to destroy these people was not possible. Because they were
people, not monsters like they had faced in the past.
But the rangers would discover that human beings were the worst kind of
monsters.
The battle soon grew to a stalemate and the evil rangers retreated back
to Zedd's palace. The exhausted rangers of good teleported back to the
power chamber.
"Zordon, my clone has returned. How is that possible?" Billy asked.
"YOUR CLONE WAS PROBABLY NEVER DESTROYED. BUT WHEN HE WAS
FOUND OUT, ZEDD PROBABLY LOCKED HIM AWAY UNTIL HE WOULD BE
NEEDED AGAIN," Zordon replied.
"Zordon, how are we supposed to fight humans? That's insane," Tommy
said.
"I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS INDEED A TROUBLING SITUATION. BUT YOU MUST
DO YOUR BEST RANGERS," Zordon replied.
"Kat, you took some hard hits out there. I want to run some scans on
you," Billy said.
"Billy, I'm fine, really," Kat said.
"Sorry Kat, you're not leaving here until I make sure your okay," Billy
replied. Kat sighed in defeat and followed Billy into the medical wing.
"We'll see you guys later at the juice bar," Tommy said as he and the
others teleported out.
The medical scans showed nothing and Kat was fine.
"Should we go to the juice bar now?" Kat asked.
"We can if you want, or we can go somewhere and be alone," Billy
replied in a soft tone. Kat smiled.
"Hmm...I think I'll take choice B," Kat replied as their lips met. Kat and Billy
exited the medical bay and back into the main chamber.
"Billy, I have just received a transmission from Edenoi. Prince Dex and the
Edenites have driven Count Dregon out of their solar system. Edenoi has
been liberated.
"That's wonderful. I'll bet that makes you happy Alpha," Billy said.
"Heh, heh, finally my home planet is free," Alpha replied.
"PRINCE DEX HAS ASKED FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF A SKILLED ENGINEER TO
HELP REPAIR THEIR TECHNOLOGY AND GET THEM UP TO SPEED. I TOLD HIM
THAT YOU WERE THE BEST," Zordon said.
"I'd be honored to help Zordon, but do you think that it's wise for me to
leave Earth at this time?" Billy asked.
"I think the rangers will be okay. I am sending Kat with you. Many
Edenites need a gentle soul to look to. I think Kat is the perfect candidate
for that," Zordon said. Kat smiled.
"Okay, we'll go Zordon, but make sure you call us if the others need us,"
Billy said.
"I WILL BILLY. I WILL INFORM THE OTHERS OF THE SITUATION. YOU MUST
LEAVE NOW," Zordon said.
"Don't we need to pack?" Kat asked.
"Don't worry, I have already taken the liberty of teleporting things you'll
need here. I packed them in these suitcases," Alpha said.
"Thanks Alpha," Billy replied.
"PREPARE FOR LONG-RANGE TELEPORTATION," Zordon announced. Billy
Kat nodded as they were teleported away in a stream of pink and silver.
"GOOD LUCK BILLY AND KATHERINE," Zordon said with hope.
"Zeddy! Billy and Kat are off somewhere!" Rita yelled. Zedd used
his infrared vision to track them.
"It appears that they are going to Edenoi," Zedd replied.
"Why would they being going there again?" Rita asked.
"Prince Dex has defeated Count Dregon. Billy and Kat must be going to
help with damages," Divatox replied.
"We should attack earth Zeddy!" Rita said.
"No Rita, not yet. We will wait a few days. Then four of our evil rangers
will attack earth with a few dozen monsters, and the other four will go stir
up trouble on Edenoi. That way Billy and Kat won't be able to return to
earth. Separated, they don't stand a chance!" Zedd exclaimed.
The other villains cheered as they began to make plans for their next
assault on the power rangers.
AN: Hope you liked it! In the next chapter, things turn for the worse as the
evil rangers attack earth and Edenoi. Can the rangers succeed, or has
Zedd finally won. Find out in the next chapter! Later!
