Disclaimer: can you guess, or should I give you a hint? That's right!!! I
don't have any claim on the Power Rangers. Good guess!
Author's note: If you don't like Kat and Zhane as a couple, I'm sorry. It just came to me, and fit. There's a lot of revising going on as I write, plus there's a sequel to this, so you never know what can happen!
Kim ignored T.J.'s call as she ran through the ship's winding halls trying to find her room. Tears blurred her vision as her feet carried her around another corner, causing her to miss the two people emerging from the door ahead of her. She collided with one of them, dragging both herself and her victim to the hard ground with a thud. She looked up, seeing Kat's worried expression as she moved to help them up.
"Kim, oh my go what happened?! Zhane, are you okay?" she asked, helping the stunned man to his feet. Andros and T.J. rounded the corner as he got his bearings back.
"Kim, what- Zhane! W-what happened, and what are you doing here?" Andros asked, surprised to see his best friend standing before him.
Kimberly simply ignored both rounds of questions and pushed herself against a wall. She pushed back the pain in her arm and stomach and leaned back against the cool surface, staring at the other side of the hallway passively.
Zhane smiled and rubbed his arm. "I told everyone I needed to see my friends again. Then when I teleport in I meet this mysterious yet lovely young woman, and get told that the ex-red ranger has been found in space with amnesia." He grinned, glancing at Kat.
"Yeah, his name is Tommy Oliver. This lovely young woman is Kat, and the woman you ran into, literally, is Kimberly Hart." Andros sighed, gesturing to the human ball on the ground.
Zhane smiled and glanced down at Kimberly, frowning when he saw her oblivious expression. "Hey," he said kneeling down, "what's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
Kim blinked and turned her head slowly towards him. He saw the pain in her eyes and noticed her tear streaked face. "No," she said softly, "you didn't hurt me. It was my fault. I'm Kim." She said, hesitantly extending her hand. Zhane smiled and took it, helping her up in the process.
"My name is Zhane, and I do hate to see a pretty lady like yourself so upset."
"Yeah, well, thing's happen." Kim sighed sadly. "If you'll excuse me, I have to get ready for a memory quest." With that, she continued on her way, walking now, leaving three sympathetic people, and one very puzzled young man in her wake.
"Did I say something wrong? And what's a memory quest?" Zhane frowned, turning to Andros.
"Come on," Andros smiled, "I'll explain everything. Kat, can you see if she's okay? You know her better than we do."
Kat nodded turning to leave. "She said it was her fault." T.J. said, causing her to turn back momentarily. "She said it was because of a letter she never got to explain."
Kat frowned. "Something is very wrong here. I can feel it." She said, resuming her journey.
"Now can someone please tell me what is going on here?" Zhane pleaded.
*** "Kim? Can I come in?" Kat called from outside Kim's door. D.E.C.A. had directed her on where to go, and she knew she could just walk in, but she wanted Kim to let her in. However, when there was no answer, she sighed and pushed the automatic entry button. The doors hissed open, and the Australian was met with darkness. She entered seeing a bump on the bed in the corner.
"I know what you're here about." It said, sniffling in the process.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Kat asked, taking a near by seat.
"What's the point," Kim said, curling tighter into her protective ball. "You're going to find everything out on my quest, right? It is going to be visual."
"Kim, it might help if you talk about it. My guess is, you've been carrying something very serious around for quite a while. It might help to tell someone.to tell me." Kat ventured. Just then the door opened, and Carlos hesitantly stepped in.
"Kim, are you ready? If we don't get going soon." he trailed off, knowing she knew the consequences.
"Yeah," Kim said getting up. "I'm coming." As she passed Kat, the tall blonde touched her arm.
"It's not your fault. Whatever it is, it's not your fault." She said.
Kim shrugged her hand off and glared at her. "I'm going to get him back. And when I do, both you and he will know that it is my fault, and it always will be." She said, her voice trembling from the pain she felt. She swallowed, pushing down the wave of tears that threatened to break through and went with an embarrassed Carlos. Kat sighed as she was left alone in Kimberly's dark room.
*** Kim followed Carlos to the bridge, where the rest of the rangers had congregated, and went over to Zhane.
"I'm sorry for running into you like that. It was completely careless of me." She smiled lightly.
"Don't worry about it. It's already forgotten." Zhane grinned sticking out his hand. Kim's smile broadened as she shook it. She sighed and turned to the rest of the team.
"Let's do it."
