Chosen Bonds: Chapter Two

By BashfulC

~~~*~~~

"So let me get this straight. You were the original pink ranger but retired to go into gymnastics. You gave your powers to an Australian chick who tried to kill you and your teammates and who eventually married your ex. When you and your best friend since childhood went back to Angel Grove to help raise money for an orphanage and got kidnapped by a space pirate slut who needed two people of purity and strength to free her demon fiancée who was stuck in a volcano. You and Jason got dropped into a pit of boiling lava and came back evil and Divaslut called you Maligore's children. You attacked your friends who had come to rescue you and it took a tiny munchkin wizard to free you of evil. The rangers then destroyed the demon and won the money for the orphanage. Is that it?" Buffy asked. The living room was crammed full of potentials and Scooby's. Kim frowned and thought it over.

"First of all, the demon was Maligore. Kat was under a spell when she tried to kill us and she was the one who saved me when I fell off the beam. Other than that, yeah, your right." She told her. She tried to remain calm. Buffy looked like she wasn't sure whether or not to believe her but Xander was staring at her in shock.

"Spike what is it with you? You always get the super heroes." Xander demanded. Spike chuckled from his perch in the shadows.

"I guess it's just my charming good looks, wanker." Buffy and Faith snickered and Xander rolled his eye. It was Andrew who spoke next.

"Do you think the other rangers would be willing to help?" he asked. Buffy, Faith, Willow, Giles, and Dawn perked up. Kim sighed.

"I had a feeling it would come to that. I'm not sure about some of them, but I'm fairly certain I can get Tommy, Jason, Kat, Adam, and.Rocky. Aisha's still in Africa, last I heard Zack was in London studying with a dance theater there, Tanya is recording her first album, Billy's still on Aqualand. However, I don't think any of them have powers any more. Andros, Cassie, TJ, Carlos, Zhane, and Ashley have powers but I barely know them. Plus I think there rebuilding KO-35 and getting Karone back into the swing of things. Plus, I don't think they'll want to talk to me." She told them, frowning. Buffy raised an eyebrow.

"Why not?" she asked. Kimberly's eyes filled with tears and Spike made a move to her side but stopped at the last moment, remembering his allergy. Dawn, seeing this stood up and pulled the dark drapes that kept Spike from going poof. Spike sent her a thankful look and hurried to his lover's side. Kim was openly crying now and Spike enveloped her in a hug.

Kim clung to his chest while Buffy and Faith shared looks. Giles frowned, Robin cocked his head to the side, and Xander grimaced. Dawn hovered nearby, clearly caught between staying where she was and offering comfort. For Willow, there was no hesitation as she swept down and wrapped her arms between the two lovers. She knew the pain Kimberly held in her eyes, the same pain she herself had held when the Scoobies had temporarily abandoned her after her Evil-Willow phase. Some one had abandoned her in the past and she had three guesses who, the first two not counting.

"I'm sorry, it's just, I did something really stupid and Tommy has yet to forgive me which has caused a rift between the group. Unfortunately, most of them sided with Tommy, not that I blame them." she murmured. Spike growled and Willow bristled. Buffy, Giles, Dawn, and Xander however visibly blanched. No doubt they were remembering what they had done to Willow. Kim looked up and sighed.

"When I broke up with Tommy, it wasn't pretty. In fact," She hesitated, but continued. "I'm very ashamed to say I sent him a dear John letter. To the Youth Center, the group hangout." Buffy and Faith nodded wisely while the men grimaced.

"The only reason I sent it to the Youth Center was because I knew Tommy. If I sent it to his house, he wouldn't mention it until a dance or someone asked about me, maybe not even then. He's very broody and keeps everything bottled inside. I wanted the others to know so they could help. And they did." She laughed softly. Spike was watching her with an expression of amazement and Buffy was smiling. Giles was nodding and glancing between Buffy and Kimberly suddenly realized why Buffy trusted the girl on first glance. She had a warrior's spirit, much like Buffy herself. Faith stared over Kimberly's head, realizing how good a Slayer Kimberly would've been.

"How?" this was asked by Dawn. Kimberly gave a short shout of laughter.

"Kat and Billy took Tommy skiing which is a really desperate move on Billy's part since he can't stay up on two feet in skis. He met a famous skier there, a famous female skier. Kat set up a romantic dinner for two for them but Tommy got called away for a fight. By the time he got back, Heather was gone. Kat came to see the results and the two of them ended up having the dinner together. Adam told me in one of his week's letters. He's the only who never visibly chose sides. Him, and Jason." she told them, sniffling. Buffy smirked.

"You seem to really like those three guys. Any crushes?" she teased. Spike growled which caused the others to laugh.

"Actually, I've known Jason pretty much since I was born; he's like my brother. He acts like it too. I met Billy in Kindergarten when I was getting teased by a couple junior high bullies at the park. Billy confused the hell out of them by sprouting algebraic questions at them until Jason and his mom arrived. They never messed with me again; I think they were scared of getting lectured by Billy again and/or getting creamed by Jason and my brother." The others snickered as they imagined a little Kindergartener sprouting algebraic question's at junior high 13 year olds. She smiled.

"As for Adam, he's too bashful for me. Plus, cranes eat frogs." This was met with puzzled looks so she told them about the quest for the Great Power and how Adam was horrified when he discovered he was a frog. By the end of it, the group was howling in laughter. Buffy was wiping tears from her eyes when Dawn asked for another tale, realizing she was getting over the pain at her friends betrayal by telling stories about them. Kimberly smiled mischievously.

"Hey Buffy, did any of your big bads try making you there queen?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye. Buffy shook her head.

"No, thank God." She replied. Dawn looked up.

"Sweet tried making me his underworld queen, if it means something." Kimberly smiled understandingly at her.

"Well then you and I have something in common." And with that she told them how Zedd had tried to make her his queen and how she had scared the bejezus out of Goldar by acting like Rita. Dawn was snickering by the end and one of the potentials, Vi, asked for her to demonstrate her fighting abilities. This was soon taken up by the rest of the group and Kimberly finally relented. Her time telling stories had caused the rest of the day to pass and night had settled in. Kimberly smiled.

"Al right, aright! I'll spar with one of you. However, I need to call someone." With that she stood up and walked downstairs, grabbing the phone on the way down. She punched in a string of numbers and waited while putting her hair in a pony tail. Spike walked down and settled into the bed, watching her pace.

"Hello?" a soft voice answered. Kim swallowed.

"Hey Adam, it's Kim. Is Rocky around? I heard you two are roomies. I need to talk to you both. It's important."

"Yeah, he's getting a soda. Hold on a sec." he laughed. Kim choked back a sob at his voice. About two minutes later she heard a click and then Rocky's voice.

"Hey Kimmie!" he fairly yelped.

"How many times have I told you not to call me Kimmie?" she scolded. The two chuckled on the line and Spike snickered on the bed. She sent him a dirty look as Rocky spoke.

"Okay, I just heard someone snicker on your line and it sounded decidedly male. Anything you need to tell us?" He teased. She rolled her eyes as Spike's snicker grew into laughter and Buffy stuck her head into the basement. She waved off Buffy's look and scowled at the phone.

"I have lots to tell and some of it ain't good." She snapped. Instant silence greeted her.

"Are you okay?" Adam asked softly. Kim sighed.

"Not exactly. Remember when our Mystic History Professor's told us about The First the exact same week and we had laughed it off?" she asked. Even though she couldn't see him, she knew he was nodding.

"Well. I spoke with Trini." Again silence greeted this announcement. Finally, Rocky spoke.

"Kim. Trini's dead. Has been for over two years." He said delicately. She snorted.

"Doesn't mean I didn't see her." she retorted.

"She took on Trini's form then?" Adam asked at the same time Rocky spoke.

"Adam, why are you paling?" Kim and Adam sighed.

"Adam do you still have your books?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'll show em to Rocky on our way to FLA. We'll be there to help." She chuckled.

"You go to FLA and you'll find nothing but an empty house. I'm not in Florida. Actually, I'm in Cali. Sunnydale to be exact." She told them. Adam took a sharp intake of breath.

"Oh God. You're on the Hellmouth." Kim blinked.

"Yeah, how'd you know about that? I just recently discovered it." He chuckled while sounds in the background indicated he was moving.

"Xavier told us. I'm coming tonight. I'll call Kat and inform her; she had the class with me. Oh and Kim? If you meet any of the evil beasties that roam that town, call on the crane." He told her. She blinked.

"I gave the powers to Kat, Adam. And they were destroyed, remember?" She felt more than saw him shake his head.

"We discovered during C2D that the original six, you, me, Rocky, Billy, Tommy, and Aisha can still call on the ninjette spirit. Kat tried calling to the crane and didn't receive an answer. Billy thinks it's because Kat isn't the crane though she may have used the powers. The powers aren't as strong as in full armor, but they're a little bit over full power of Dino." He informed her. She took a deep intake of breath.

"That powerful?" She asked, realizing she could be useful again. Ninjette in ninja garb was as powerful as the Dino powers had been. Ninjette in full ranger armor had been ten times as powerful.

"Yeah. Aisha arrived in town yesterday and Billy's been living in Stone Canyon for the past five years and didn't bother to tell anyone until last week. He's still in contact with Andros; he'll prepare him in case we all go to hell. I'll try and get the ninjette team together." Kim let out a shaky breath. At Adam's next words, she let out a sob.

"Don't worry Kim; you won't be fighting this alone. I'm taking a stand. Were a team, we'll always be a team." Kim smiled ruefully when she heard the muffled sounds of Buffy, Dawn, and Willow sniffling. She turned around. All the Scoobies we're at the bottom of the stairs and many of the potentials were standing on the stairs. She smiled.

"Adam, it's dangerous. Bring the arsenals. She's killing off the Potentials." She told him softly. She gave Giles a leveled look. He averted his eyes.

"I got the Slayer that Died Twice, the Slayer of Redemption, the Slayers Witch, the Slayers Knight, the Slayers True Watcher, a Slayers Son, my Vampire with a Soul, and about three dozen surviving Potentials. So I'll see you in a couple hours?" She asked casually. She heard Rocky ask Adam if he was ready and his yes. Then Adam seemed to realize exactly how she had addressed Spike.

"Wait, what do you mean your Vampire with a Soul?" He asked baffled. She, Buffy, Faith, and Willow smirked.

"Bye Adam." With that she hung up. Faith snickered, Buffy rolled her eyes, and the others who had heard laughed. Spike walked up to her. She smiled and stepped away. At Spike's puzzled expression she blew him a kiss. Then, standing as tall as she could, she closed her eyes and concentrated. She felt the Crane acknowledge her and smiled.

"The Crane!" She yelled with a certain amount of pride. A flash of light blinded the others for a few minutes and when it dimmed, Kimberly wasn't in sight. Instead, a short, fully clothed warrior stood in her place. Bright doe brown eyes stared out at the group and Kim slowly looked down, subconsciously imitating herself from when she first received the powers.

The outift was different. Instead of pink, her main color was purple with black trimmings. Her top had the golden image of a crane and the diamonds fairly glowed with power. Her feet were snug in there boots, her skirt was perfectly positioned for a fight, and her hands were gloved. She slowly pulled her mouth veil off and then pulled down her hood. She smiled wickedly.

"Okay, who's up for a sparring session?" She asked brightly. Buffy and Faith exchanged identical looks. Spike just rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Why me?"

"You sure this is the place?" Rocky asked his best friend. Adam nodded.

"Since it's the only house with people in it, I think so." He told him. Justin and Jason snickered in the back while Billy just rolled his eyes. Kat, Aisha, and Tommy were squished in the very back seat, the group having rented a van for the trip. They remained silent. Tommy and Kat hadn't been happy they were going to help Kim, even if they realized how bad the situation was. Justin and Adam hadn't taken sides, but Aisha, Jason, and Billy were with Kim one hundred percent. Adam saw a young girl peak out the window. A minute later, as the group fell out of the van, a very familiar figure walked out clothed in purple ninjette garb.

Jason and Billy rushed to Kimberly with Tommy and Kat just kept back scowling. Adam watched in amusement as Rocky picked up Kimberly and swung her around. He heard Aisha giggle from behind him.

"Look at that guy, Adam. He's glaring daggers at our Fearless Leader." Aisha spoke. Adam followed her gaze and came to rest on a tall, lean, bleach blonde man in a blue muscle shirt, a black pair of pants, and an ankle length duster. He was glaring at Tommy who was oblivious to the hatred in his eyes.

"Kimberly." Kat stepped up. Adam noticed Kim go rigid as she faced her successor.

"Katherine." She acknowledged just as the beach blonde stepped up behind Kimberly and wrapped his arms around her middle. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Tommy scowl.

"That guy needs a 'tude transplant, stat. Buffy's already not happy with him. If he wants to have children, he might want to tone down the glaring." A short redhead murmured from beside him. Adam glanced at her and chuckled.

"That's Tommy. He didn't want to come in the first place but his conscience got to him, I think." He murmured. The redhead nodded. They watched as Kat and Kim spoke in hushed tones which quickly got louder.

***

"If you didn't want to come, PC, then why did you?" Kim seethed, putting emphasis on 'PC'. Katherine glared at her.

"Tommy and I couldn't let you screw this up. So we came to make sure you didn't destroy the world." She snapped. Kim glared as Buffy and Tommy stepped up.

"Kat's right Kim. You've never been able to do anything yourself. I'm not going to die because of your stupidity." He told her coldly. Buffy snapped and Kim could hear both Faith and Spike growling as a supernatural wind picked up. Kim glanced back to see Willow looking pissed.

"Well all high and mighty, you can just take your sorry ass and leave my town." Buffy told him frigidly. Tommy raised a sardonic eyebrow.

"What? You think you can stop this on your own? You look even more pathetic than Kim." He told her. Buffy and Spike snorted. Kim snickered.

"Honey, you might want to take that back." She told him sweetly with a bit of a sarcastic tone on honey. He snorted.

"Why? It's true." Kat snickered but the other rangers were scowling at Tommy and Kat, much to Kim's bemusement.

"Did Adam mention the Slayer that Died Twice?" She asked him. Tommy frowned and nodded as the Scoobies gathered around Buffy and Kim.

"And did he mention the Slayer of Redemption?" Again, Tommy nodded and eyed Faith as she gave him an especially wicked smile.

"What about the Slayers True Watcher, the Slayers Witch that tried to end the world, the Slayers Knight, a Slayers Son, the Potentials, and MY Vampire with a Soul?" Tommy nodded, now visibly confused. She motioned to the angry and bemused group of people gathered around her.

"You're standing in front of them." she told him. And to prove her point, Spike morphed into his vampiric face, Buffy pulled out a stake and crossbow in a flash, and Willow put glamour on herself to give her black hair and black veins. Kim had heard Willow, Spike, and Buffy planning this so she wasn't all that surprised. Faith snickered at Kat and Tommy's startled expressions. Kim glanced at the others, wondering why they weren't surprised. She caught Adam's gaze and he winked at her. She stifled a giggle. Adam had obviously warned everyone but those two.

A shout from a potential made her snap towards the street. Without them knowing it a small group of vampire's had gathered in the street and Trini stood in the center. She heard Billy and Jason take sharp intakes of breath and Rocky murmur something to himself. Just at that moment, she noticed another group to the right of her and heard Buffy cursing, probably because of the group of vampires on the other side. Billy raised his communicator to his lips and pressed a button as Buffy ordered the potentials and non fighters inside the house. Willow rubbed her ring and Spike glared at Tommy, daring him to make a comment. He didn't.

"Kim?" Buffy turned to her and Kim smiled. She nodded to Adam, Aisha, Billy, Rocky, and Tommy who sighed reluctantly. The small group gathered just as six streaks of light announced the arrival of the astro rangers. Buffy barely gave them a glance as she yelled.

"You have to cut off there heads!" Xander came back outside and handed out weapons while the ninjette prepared to morph.

"The Bear!" Aisha morphed into her yellow and white ninjette garb.

"The Wolf!" Billy morphed into his blue and white outfit.

"The Ape!" Rocky was now in red.

"The Frog!" Adam became the black frog.

"The Falcon!" Tommy's outfit was, like Kim's, a different color. It was green with black lining.

"Back to action!" Kim yelled and was once again clothed head to toe. She received a startled glance from Tommy and an angry glare from Kat neither of which had noticed her clothing.

The Vampires gave a yell and ran to meet the twelve fully powered rangers, three former rangers, a dozen older potentials, a souled vampire, two active slayers, a very angry witch, a key, a nerd, a slayers son, an ex vengeance demon, and a muggle Knight as Dawn had taken to calling Xander. The Vamps didn't stand a chance. Finally, it was just the First, Caleb who had shown up halfway through the fight, a few vamps, Kim, Spike, and Faith, Jason, and Billy. Jason swallowed at the sight of his dead friend. He glanced at Kim.

"How am I supposed to fight her, I loved her." he asked softly. Buffy heard and glanced at him in understanding.

"She's not Trini. She's evil incarnate. Remember that. Besides, we can't fight her. She's incorporeal. Caleb on the other hand." Buffy trailed off. Kim nodded, glancing at Billy. Both took a deep breath and nodded.

"Here's what we do. Jason, Billy, Spike, take out the rest of the vamps. Ignore The First; she'll try to distract you. Faith, Kim, lets show the evil preacher what us whore's can do." Buffy ordered. Kim snickered and Faith grinned wickedly. The two groups split up. Caleb smiled evilly at the girls.

"So, you got yourself a new little whore. One who gives no thought to sleeping with the enemy." Caleb sneered. Kim snorted.

"Come on, that is so lame and not to mention so cliché." Kim mocked. Caleb narrowed his eyes and lashed out with a snap kick. Kim jumped over his head and kicked him in the back. He flew into a wall, but only shook his head. Kim gave Faith a disbelieving look.

"Oh you got to be kidding me!" She moaned. Faith and Buffy gave her sympathetic looks before attacking as one. Kim hung back a little trying to think. Finally, she saw Andros out of the corner of her eye and grinned. She ran over to the panting red ranger.

"Andros, I need your help." He looked at her. She motioned to the two girls and two rangers now fighting Caleb.

"Get the other Astro's. I think with the combined firepower of the Astro's and the ninjette we can beat that guy, annoying as he is." Andros looked him over.

"He's human." He protested. She sighed.

"So were Scorpina and Goldar. Evil's evil, Andros. And he's sharing his body with The First. If that isn't evil, I don't know what is. Plus he thinks all woman are whores. Think about he'd do if he met Karone." She told him.

He frowned and sighed. "Alright, give me five minutes."

She smiled and ran over to Buffy and Faith who were struggling to get up.

"Don't get up." She advised while pretending to look them over. Buffy gave her a puzzled look.

"Do you think twelve rangers and their weapons energy would blow this guy out of the sky?" She asked mischievously. Buffy and Faith exchanged identical wicked grins as Kim stood up and joined the circle of rangers around Caleb. She silently called for her power bow which appeared different than she expected; it wasn't a bow, it was a crossbow. She grinned and raised it to Caleb who was still grinning like an idiot. She cocked her head.

"Hey Cal!" She called. He turned to her, Aisha, Ashley, Cassie who were standing on her right and Willow who had stepped up on her left.

"Bye Bye! Fire!" she yelled and the sound of twelve different weapons and a ball of fire from Willow blasted in her ears. When the smoke cleared, Caleb was still standing, but barely. She growled grabbed Rocky's Power Sword which had also been enhanced and charged the man. She swung her sword in a golf ark and swung upwards. The guys groaned as she pulled the sword up and finally released. Buffy and Faith staggered up to the group as the rest of the Scoobies and Potentials came out of the house, The First having left in anger.

"Where's Caleb?" Buffy asked. Kim motioned to her right. Buffy and Faith grimaced. She motioned to her left. Xander crossed his legs.

"He had to split." she cracked. Buffy and Faith snorted. Spike chuckled and carefully took the sword from her hands and gave it back to the cross-legged red ninjette. She collapsed into his arms, her gaze on the thunderstruck Tommy. She gave him a look that said clearly 'Who's the damsel now?'

Tommy averted his eyes and Kim closed her own in exhaustion. She wasn't used to fighting so hard and she had put a lot of power into her arrow. She demorphed and slumped, asleep, against Spike. Buffy smiled at the two.

"Everyone lets get some rest. Those who have injuries, go to Anya and Xander. Rangers, thanks." She told Andros who nodded.

"If you need our help again, let us know." She nodded and the six ranger's teleported away as the ninjette demorphed. She turned to Spike.

"Get her to a bed. She deserves some rest. Wills, think you can magically clean him up? I really don't feel like doing it by hand." She asked, motioning to the two sides of Caleb. Willow nodded and waved her hand. Caleb disappeared. At Adam's puzzled expression, she explained.

"I teleported him to the cemetery." He nodded and caught her when she fell. She smiled sheepishly.

"I must have used more power in that fireball that I thought." She whispered right before she slumped, unconscious. He glanced at Buffy who nodded and motioned to the house. Understanding, he picked the young redhead up, rested her head to his chest and carried her inside. Buffy, Giles, and Faith remained behind. "Buffy, I believe I owe you an apology. You were right to trust your instincts. After her tale I called Wesley." Faith and Buffy looked at him in surprise. He shrugged.

"I had remembered that before you were called, the Council figured it would either be you or another girl about your age. However, Quentin was against having her as a Slayer since she was already working for the PTB in her own way. I know Wesley knew the girls name but I didn't bother. I believed you would be called and I was right. Wesley told me the girls' name." He went quiet and Buffy understood.

"It was Kimberly. Kimberly was a Potential." She whispered. Giles shook his head.

"She still is a potential Buffy, because she wasn't called." He told her. Faith and Buffy went quiet. Finally, Faith spoke.

"If The First finds out Kimberly is a Potential AND a Ranger, she'll focus on killing and hurting her. She could be a danger to us." Buffy swallowed.

"She stays. We said we'd protect all the Potentials. Whether she knows it or not, she's still a Potential. We'll tell her after she wakes up." she decided. Faith nodded and Giles sighed in relief.

"In a sense we now have three fully trained Slayers, though one may not have the mystic powers." Giles mused out loud. Buffy and Faith smiled.

"Ya know, I think things are finally looking up." Faith said. Buffy gazed at the house and smiled bitterly.

"About time." Giles and Faith couldn't agree more.

So what did you think? Questions, comments, flames to help me heat my house? Let me know!
