Pink With Evil: Part 2
Author's Notes: For those of you who wrote reviews- first, thanks, wish more people would! Secondly, I really had no idea there was another fic with the same concept- guess that's what I get for claiming to be original, eh? Hehe. Well, hopefully this one turns out good.
Also, if you like this fic and don't mind me doing some shameless plugging, PLEASE check out my other one, Power Rangers Omega (check my profile for the link). I really like the work I've been doing on it (it's an original PR fic), but it hasn't gotten any reviews yet, so I'm really itching for feedback on it! If you decide to check it out, thanks!
Either way, enjoy Part 2 of Pink With Evil!
It was after school on that same day, which for Tommy meant, as usual, hanging
out with his fellow Rangers at the juice bar. Tommy, Jason, Zach, Billy, and
Trini sat together at a table, drinking away.
"You were really hilarious, bro." Jason said, giving Tommy a light punch to the left arm. "'Well, I'm sure you know my name, since I....ummm....just told you!'"
The others laughed as Tommy hung his head, laughing along with it.
"And the new girl wasn't much better. 'It was a p-p-pleasure to meet you, Tommy!'"
The group once again broke out into laughter.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Tommy said with a sort of laughing sigh. "I'll pay you back the next time we spar, you can count on it."
In the meantime, Kimberly entered the juice bar for the first time, taking a look around the place someone had referred to her as the premiere hang-out for teenagers in Angel Grove, hoping to find the shy but cute boy she met during school that day. After a short while, she spotted him hanging out with Jason and three other teenagers.
Tommy was seating with his back to the entrance and didn't see her, but on the other side of the table Zach spotted Kimberly staring right at him and laughed.
"Hey, Tommy, there's your soulmate now!" Zach said, pointing to Kimberly.
Kimberly saw Zach point at her and then Tommy turn around, and immediately turned her head away, blushing. The others laughed.
"Alright, alright, keep having your fun at the expense of Tommy." Tommy said, waving his hand.
"If we are seriously hurting your feelings, Tommy, we will cease and desist immediately." Billy said, not picking up on Tommy's self-depreciating humor.
"He's just playing along with the joke." Trini whispered to him.
"Oh, affirmative!" Billy said, nodding.
Tommy rolled his eyes as he stood up. He looked over at Kimberly, who had started staring at him again, prompting her to look down at the floor instead.
"Well, what are you waiting for, go get her tiger!" Jason said, and he pushed Tommy forward towards Kimberly.
"Hey!" Tommy yelled as he turned around to glare at Jason, who only laughed and shrugged.
Tommy turned back around to see Kimberly still staring at her shoes.
"You don't have to do that....because of me." Tommy said. "You can...umm....look at me....as much as you want."
Oh great, now I don't just sound like an idiot, I sound like an egotistical idiot! Tommy thought.
"That's....very nice of you." Kimberly said, finally looking back up at Tommy.
She smiled at him. He smiled back. And from behind them, Jason and Zack burst out laughing again.
Tommy rolled his eyes. "Want to go somewhere a bit less noisy?" he asked her.
"Sure." she replied, still smiling.
Kimberly turned around, and she and Tommy walked out of the juice bar, as Jason and Zack kept laughing.
"Why are you two still laughing again?" Trini asked them. "I see Tommy as the one walking out of here with the cute new girl, not either of you."
Jason and Zack stopped laughing, and now it was Trini and Billy's turn to laugh.
Meanwhile, back in Rita's palace, she watched Tommy and Kimberly exit the juice
bar and head for an alleyway behind it.
"Argh! The Green Ranger!" Rita yelled, frustrated. "He's going to ruin everything!"
"How so?" Finster wondered.
"The Power Rangers can't know the identity of my Pink Ranger!" Rita screamed in explanation. "I need her to be able to get the jump on those Rangers while in human form! Goldar! Get down there and provide a distraction to take the Power Rangers away!"
"Yes, my Queen!"
Goldar disappeared in a flash of gold, then reappeared in Angel Grove.
"Now, magic wand, make my Goldar grow!" Rita said, spotting him down there.
The wand flew down to the ground of the city and blasted Goldar with energy, turning him into a giant. He began blasting all the buildings around him with lasers from his eyes.
"Ai-yi-yi-yi, Goldar is destroying the city!" Alpha-5 said in his
usual panic.
"Contact the Rangers immediately, Alpha!" Zordon said.
Meanwhile, back in the juice bar on the opposite side of town from Goldar, Tommy
and Kimberly were walking together in the alleyway.
"This is....nice." Tommy said, putting his hands behind his head.
"Yeah. Nice." Kimberly replied, spotting a dirty hobo with a bunch of alcohol bottles surrounding him.
"Ummm, we can go somewhere else if you want...."
"No no, this is okay." Kimberly said, smiling. "It's....unique."
"So, you just moved here?" Tommy asked her. No, Tommy, she's been here all this time, only invisible!
"Yup." Kimberly replied. "It's always hard, starting over at a new town, but I'm glad I made at least one friend." she said with a smile to him.
Tommy returned her smile.....only to hear his communicator go off.
"Crap!" Tommy yelled.
"What is that, some kind of an alarm?"
"Something like that." Tommy said. "I have to go. I'm sorry, I really am, I'll talk to you soon!"
"Okay!" Kimberly yelled after him as he ran down the other way, and watched him turn the corner and leave. She looked around at her surroundings. "Hmm. Guess I'll just head home."
"Think again, Kimmy!"
Kimberly looked around for the source of the strangely annoying voice, and saw Rita standing above her on top of a building.
"Who are you? And what's with the outfit? I mean, geez, I've seen better fashion on Saved By the Bell."
"I am Rita Repulsa, but you may call me Queen!" she proudly announced. "Because you're about to become my newest warrior! That is, if you can defeat my Putties...."
Kimberly had no idea what this fashion victim was blathering on about, but suddenly, a group of 4 Putties appeared around her, surrounding her and causing her to yell out in surprise! She looked around them, and put on a more serious face. One tried to punch her, but she blocked it and flipped the Putty over her shoulder.
Alright, Kimberly, time to put those marital arts lessons your gymnastics instructor recommended to good use! she thought as she kicked another Putty down.
Another Putty kicked her in the stomach, so she turned and grabbed one of the empty beer bottles the hobo had dropped on the floor- but not before stopping to say "Ewwww." After a brief moment of hesitation, she threw the bottle at the Putty, and the glass shattered on his head, knocking him down.
Finally, the fourth Putty tried a jumping kick, but Kimberly put her gymnastics skills to good use, doing a flip backwards and dodging the kick, then kicking him down instead. With all 4 Putties defeated, Kimberly looked up at Rita.
"Alright, this is all SERIOUSLY messed-up, and since you probably have a medieval fair to get to or something anyway, I'm out of here."
"You are going nowhere, my new Pink Ranger!" Rita yelled, and raised her staff. A beam of red energy came out of it, going into Kimberly's head. She immediately collapsed on the floor and was teleported out in a flash of pink.
Meanwhile, the Megazord, fully assembled and with Dragonzord at its side, began
heading towards Goldar, still destroying buildings with his eye lasers and sword.
"Stop, Goldar!" Jason yelled from inside the Megazord cockpit.
"Hah! You expect me to stop destroying the city just because you command it! Foolish human!"
Jason looked down at Tommy commanding the Dragonzord on top of a building, and used his communicator to speak with him.
"Bro, we have to stop Goldar, but we have to do it without destroying the city any further!" Jason told him.
"I know!" Tommy replied. "But how can we? Why couldn't they just attack an abandoned rock query like they always do?!?"
Back at Rita's moon palace, Rita watched Kimberly laying on the cement slate,
eyes closed. Rita had the Pink Power Coin inside her right hand.
"Now, my powered-up Power Coin, it is time to bond with your new Ranger!" she announced.
She threw the coin up into the air, where it hovered above Kimberly while still flashing red. After a few moments, the coin began to release red-and-pink bolts of energy into Kimberly, until finally the coin disappeared and Kimberly morphed into the Pink Ranger! Kimberly sat up on the slate, then stood up to face Rita.
"Please tell me how I can serve you, my Empress." Kimberly said.
Empress? Rita thought. I wanted her to call me Queen! Oh well, I guess nothing's perfect.
"Ahahaha!" Rita laughed. "Thanks to my upgrade to your Pink Power Coin, not only are you stronger than the average Ranger, but you will grow stronger and stronger as you defeat each Ranger, by obtaining their Power Coins! Go, Kimberly, destroy the Power Rangers and take their powers for yourself!"
"Yes, my Empress." Kimberly bowed, and then disappeared in a flash of pink.
"Finally, the end of the Power Rangers is at hand!"
To Be Continued....
