AN: Here's chapter 13! Enjoy and please leave a review!
Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf
Chapter 13: Breathe
Sparks spewed from Kat and Adam, as they went down from the latest monster's blow. This latest monster was Mean Screen, a computer virus monster that had made all the computers in Angel Grove go haywire. He was another one of King Mondo's creations, and being down a ranger was really taking its toll.
"Let's summon the power weapons! Kat, you should have access to Billy's too!" Adam said.
"RANGERS, KAT'S POWER WEAPON WILL NOW COMBINE INTO THE POWER BLASTER FOR ADDED POWER," Zordon said.
"All right, let's bring 'em together!" Kim called.
"Frog Axe!" Adam called.
"Crane Bow!" Kim called.
"Bear Claws!" Aisha called.
"Wolf Lance! Wolf Whip!" Kat called.
"Ape Sword!" Rocky called, as he completed the weapon.
"Fire!" they called. Mean Screen exploded in a brilliant show of sparks. But Klank and Orbus were there to give him a boost.
The rangers called the Shogun zords and began to fight the monster again.
"Alpha, how are you coming with the anti-virus that Raymond gave me?" Adam asked into his communicator.
"Aye yi yi, I'm working on it Adam. Oh aye yi yi, I wish Billy was here," Alpha replied.
"We know Alpha," Adam sympathized.
"Zordon, can you send out the Falconzord so we can finish this dude," Tommy said.
"THE FALCONZORD IS ON ITS WAY," Zordon replied.
The rangers formed the Shogun Mega Falconzord and finally put an end to Mean Screen.
~*~*~*
The rangers teleported back to the power chamber.
"Rangers, the anti-virus was a success. Angel Grove is back to normal," Alpha reported.
"Leave it to Mondo to unleash a computer monster with Billy gone," Rocky said.
"Did I hear my name?" a familiar voice said. Everyone whirled around to the viewing screen.
"Billy!" Kat exclaimed.
"Hi angel," Billy said warmly.
"I've missed you so much," Kat gushed.
"I've missed you too babe. I've missed everyone," Billy said.
"We've missed you too man, so when are you coming home?" Tommy asked.
"I'm getting ready to leave as we speak. How have things been in Angel Grove?" Billy asked.
"Pretty good, except for a couple of bugs," Adam laughed, as he referred to Mean Screen.
"Yeah, and Tanya is a fast learner. She's been staying here during our battles and learning how to run some of the systems," Aisha mentioned.
"That's great guys, but Delphine says my shuttle is ready. According to my calculations, I should be home late afternoon tomorrow," Billy said.
"I can't wait till you finally back," Kat said.
"Me either angel-girl. I love you," Billy said.
"I love you too," Kat replied before the screen finally went dark.
"He must have settled the conflict on Aquitar," Kim said.
"We'll have to have him tell us all about it over smoothies," Tanya said with a smile.
"It's getting late, so we should all get home," Tommy reminded.
"Yeah, and the sooner we do, the sooner tomorrow comes!" Kat said excitedly. The others chuckled.
"Come on girl, let's get home so we can decide what you will wear tomorrow, and I can get to sleep at a decent time," Tanya said.
~*~*~*
Billy checked his scanners and smiled. He was making excellent time. He was passing Mars now, and at the rate he was going, he would be home within the hour. (We are assuming that the space cruiser has faster than light speed capabilities)
A while later, he could see the moon and decided that it was time to contact the power chamber.
~*~*~*
Classes had finally ended for the day, and Kat, Adam, and Tanya teleported to the power chamber.
Kat bopped happily over to the console in her baby blue sundress.
"Anything Alpha?" Kat asked.
"I'm getting something," Alpha said.
"Billy to Power Chamber!" Billy's voice broke through the static.
"We're here Billy!" Kat said.
"Great, I'm almost home guys. I can't wait to see everyone, even Bulk and Skull," Billy chuckled.
~*~*~*
"So the blue ranger is coming home. Why don't we make sure this homecoming is one the rangers won't forget," Mondo said.
"Darling, you are brilliant," Machina replied.
"Yes, by destroying him, we destroy the glue that holds that team together. And the one thing keeping me from my queen," Vile said.
"Klank, fire the lasers at his space cruiser. Knock him off course and let the ship float toward me," Mondo said.
"What do you want with him?" Vile asked.
"I want my own personal genius and he's a ranger to boot. Imagine the possibilities," Mondo seethed evilly.
~*~*~*
"I can't wait to have one of Ernie's smoothies," Billy said.
"I take it that Aquitian cuisine leaves much to be desired," Adam said. Billy paled.
"Very much," he replied, when suddenly his ship was rocked violently. The young genius was thrown around in the cockpit and sparks spewed from various places. All they could hear at the power chamber was static.
"Alpha, what happened?" Kat asked.
"There seems to be some interference," Alpha replied, as he began to tweak the comm system.
"Guys! Billy to power chamber! I've been hit...hard! The engines are shot and I've lost all navigation!" Billy screamed at them.
"Alpha! What could have hit him!" Kat said in panic. Adam rushed over to the scanners and began to scan the solar system.
"Whatever it was, it came from the machine base!" Adam reported.
"Oh no! They're trying to destroy him," Tanya said. At that moment, the other four rangers arrived in the power chamber.
"What's going on?" Tommy asked.
"Mondo's damaged Billy's ship with a blast. He's floating toward the machine base!" Adam said frantically.
"What about the tractor beam!" Aisha said.
"Great thinking Ish!" Adam said, as he scrambled to another console. The others, except Kim and Kat joined them. The shorter girl put her arms around the taller one to comfort her.
"Kimberly...what if he was...hurt?" Kat asked.
"Shh...let's not think about that. We'll get him back and he'll be just fine. Billy Cranston is one of the strongest and most stubborn boys I know. He's a fighter and he'll fight to the last breath," Kim comforted.
"Guys, I'm going to need your help. I can't navigate and life support is almost gone. It's starting to get really cold and morphing will only help minimally," Billy reported.
"Hang in there man, we're almost ready to engage the tractor beam to pull you in," Tommy reported.
"Here go nothing! Engaging tractor beam!" Adam said, as he fired the beam directly for Billy's coordinates.
~*~
"Oh no you don't rangers. Klank, block their tractor beam!" Mondo ordered.
"Yes yer majesty," Klank replied, as he fired another laser. The laser blocked the tractor beam and sent Billy's ship spiraling off course.
~*~
"What happened Ad? Why didn't we get him?" Rocky asked anxiously.
"Mondo blocked the tractor beam and the force bumped Billy's ship off course," Adam said, as he tried to figure out just where Billy was headed.
"RANGERS, I'M AFRAID THAT BILLY'S SHIP IS ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH THE SUN." Zordon reported.
"There has to be something we can do!" Kat yelled.
"Can't we use the tractor beam again?" Tanya asked.
"Aye yi yi rangers, the tractor beam needs a new fuel cell. It was drained from our last attempt," Alpha reported.
"We store the extra fuel cells in the Angel Grove Warehouse," Adam stated.
"Let's go! It's Morphin Time!" Tommy called.
"White Falcon!" Tommy called.
"Black Frog!" Adam called.
"Pink Crane!" Kim called.
"Yellow Bear!" Aisha called.
"Red Ape!" Rocky called.
"Blue Wolf!" Kat called.
The rangers teleported to the warehouse, but were met by Tengus and Cogs.
"You guys take care of them, I'll go find the fuel cell!" Tommy said.
"All right, be careful Tommy!" Kim called. The five rangers drew their weapons and began to fight the menaces.
So you are trouble to our town,
We are here to help you with your attitude.
Cuz ya think you're so bad,
you're think you're so tough, huh?
Ya better wave the white flag,
or it'll be the end of you..
The end of you..
The end of you..
Rocky and Aisha flipped into the air.
"Red Metallic Armor, power up!" Rocky called.
"Yellow Metallic Armor, power up!" Aisha called.
"Let me give you a boost Ish," Rocky said, as he catapulted Aisha into the air. She rolled into a tight somersault and split the enemy defenses. Rocky followed up by flipping in with her, where they began to double-team their foes.
We're here to save the world.
We're here to save the world tonight.
Save the world..from your kind.
We're here to save the world.
We're here to save the world tonight.
Save the world..so now it's time..to unite!
"Eat fire metal heads!" Adam called, as he unleashed a fire attack from his frog axe. Seeing that the cogs were slowly recovering, he took the opportunity to up his power.
"Black Metallic Armor, Power up!" he called. Adam unleashed another fire attack on the Tengus, singing feathers and all.
"Smells like fried chicken!" Rocky joked.
"You and that stomach!" Kim retorted, as she delivered several vicious sidekicks to the remaining cogs.
Did you really think you had a chance?
Did you really think that we would fall apart?
Ya think ya have a brain,
but you're nothin but a dummy!
Ya better run run now,
Or it'll be the end of you..
You'll find it's true..
Kat had been silent the whole battle, but her moves showed just how mad she was. Her love was in danger and the cogs and Tengus were taking a beating for it. She pulled out her wolf whip and began to beat them back with that and various kicks and punches.
We're here to save the world.
We're here to save the world tonight.
Save the world..from your kind.
We're here to save the world.
We're here to save the world tonight.
Save the world..so now it's time..to unite!
To unite..to unite..to unite..
to unite..to unite..to unite..to unite..to unite..Meanwhile...Tommy was inside the warehouse in search of the fuel cell. After roaming the place for nearly ten minutes, he finally stumbled upon it. But Cogs were there to ambush him. He fought them furiously and managed to make his way out of the warehouse and back to the others. They had just finished off the last of the Cogs and Tengus, and he joined them as they teleported back to the power chamber.
~*~*~*
"Billy, are you there?" Adam asked.
"I'm still here guys. It was getting cold, but this wasn't exactly what I had in mind for warming up," Billy replied, as he spotted the sun outside his window.
"RANGERS, THE TRACTOR BEAM WAS DAMAGED IN OUR LAST ATTEMPT. IT MUST BE POSITIONED MANUALLY," Zordon reported.
"I'll go," Tommy said, as he teleported to the top of the mountain. He reached the panel, but was suddenly bombarded with fire from the Quadra fighters.
"Whoa!" Tommy cried, as he fell from the platform. He grasped the edge of the mountain and began to slowly pull himself up. He reached the lever and began to pull at it with all his might. With a strangled gasp, Tommy pulled it to the necessary coordinates.
"Fire now Adam!" Tommy called. Adam fired on Tommy's mark and locked onto Billy's ship. He began to reel him in and now they waited.
~*~
i can feel the magic floating in the air,
being with you gets me that way.
i watch the sunlight dance across your face
and ive never been this swept away.
all my thoughts seem to settle on the breeze,
when im lying wrapped in your arms.
the whole world just fades away, t
he only thing i hear is the beating of your heart.
Tommy teleported back and was silent, as they waited for a response.
"Power chamber to Billy...do you read?" Adam called.
"IF HE DOES NOT RESPOND IN THE NEXT 30 SECONDS, THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE," Zordon reported.
"Billy...please answer! Billy Cranston! You answer me right now!" Kat yelled.
Seconds passed and nothing but static.
"Please...my sweet wolf. Please answer," Kat cried.
cause i can feel you breathe,
its washing over me and
suddenly im melting into you.
theres nothing left to prove,
baby all we need is just to be.
caught up in the touch,
the slow and steady rush.
baby, isnt that the way that loves supposed to be?
i can feel you breathe. just breathe.
"Guys! I'm still here!" Billy called. Everyone present sighed in relief.
"You scared us man!" Adam said.
"Sorry bout that," he replied. Everyone waited impatiently as Billy's ship docked in the holding bay. The doors to the other decks in the chamber slowly opened, revealing Billy's form.
"Billy!" Kat cried happily, as she ran into his embrace. Billy scooped her up and spun her around.
"Did you miss me?" Billy asked with a chuckle. Kat responded by capturing his lips in a kiss that was hot enough to set off the fire alarms.
in a way i know my heart is waking up,
as all the walls come tumbling down
closer than ive ever felt before and
i know and you know theres no need for words right now
cause i can feel you breathe,
its washing over me and
suddenly im melting into you.
theres nothing left to prove
baby all we need is just to be.
caught up in the touch,
the slow and steady rush, baby,
isnt that the way that loves supposed to be?
i can feel you breathe, just breathe.
"Things are definitely back to normal," Rocky said dryly.
"Wow, maybe I should go away more often," Billy joked.
"Don't you dare," Kat replied, as she kissed him again.
~*~*~*
"Well that plan went well," Zedd ranted sarcastically. He was getting quite tired of these machine heads running the show and he decided that it was time to formulate a way to get rid of them.
"Blast those rangers, they will pay!" Mondo ranted.
"Yes they will Mondo, but so will you," Zedd growled under his breath.
~*~*~*
"Man, I have really missed earth food," Billy said, as he polished off his smoothie.
"So how did you defeat the Hydro contaminators?" Adam asked.
"Well, at first I helped Cestro build devices that were supposed to go out and destroy these things, which looked like mechanical jellyfish. These things were releasing hazardous chemicals and polluting the water. The devices were doing their job, but the minute we would destroy one, another one would replace it," Billy began, as he flashed back to only two days earlier.
~*~
"Their supply of the contaminators seems to be endless," Cestro said.
"What are we to do?" Cestria, a female Aquitian scientist asked. Cestro turned to Billy, but saw that he was deep in thought.
"If I can hack into the mothership's computers, maybe I can upload a virus, which would filter down into the smaller components and render them useless," Billy said.
"That is a wonderful idea Billy, but then we must destroy the mothership. How are we to do that?" Cestro asked.
"While you're uploading the virus, I'll be on my way out there. Once the virus is in affect, I'll launch the ultimate weapon at them and then hi-tail it out there," Billy said.
"That sounds very dangerous Billy, perhaps one of us should carry it out," Cestro replied.
"No, I got this one; I've got to be the one to release the weapon. We don't have the time for me to teach one of the others how to do it," Billy replied. His fingers flew over the console, until he finally broke into the system. He placed the virus in ready position and stepped back.
"I'm going now, and I'll radio back and tell you when to upload the virus," Billy said.
"Be careful Billy," Cestria said. Billy nodded.
"It's Morphin Time! Blue Wolf!" Billy called.
Billy hopped into the sea shuttle and fired up the engines. He sped into the waters of Aquitar and was soon coming within range of the mothership.
"Cestro, begin the upload of the virus," Billy ordered. The blue Aquitain rangers did so and Billy waited. Soon, each and every contaminator began to beep violently, before it sparked and dismantled. Billy smirked, as he aimed the missile at the Cyrian ship.
"From the power rangers, with love," Billy said, as he fired the missile. He quickly put the shuttle in full reverse and sped back to the docking bay. The Cyrians barely saw it coming, and only the commander and a few of his top men made it into the escape pod. The ship exploded in an array of brilliant flames, while the Cyrian escape pod blasted into orbit and headed back to Cyrius. They had been defeated by Billy Cranston; blue wolf ranger of the planet earth.
~*~*~*
"Wow, totally awesome!" Rocky said.
"No kidding, what an adventure," Adam added.
"That it was," Billy replied, as he turned to Kat, who was looking at him with pride in her eyes.
"You must be a hero on Aquitar," Aisha said.
"Yeah, they wanted me to stay, but I kindly refused," Billy said.
"I'm glad," Kat replied.
"Are you kidding, nothing could keep me away from you," Billy told her.
"You two need to get a room," Rocky replied. But the two wolves ignored him,
as they were already locked in another kiss.
"Well, we're going to get going. It's good to have you home Billy," Tommy
said, as he clasped Billy's hand in a shake.
"It's good to be home," Billy replied. With that, the group broke off into
couples for the night.
"I'm not ready to go home," Kat said.
"We could go to my house and watch movies," Billy said.
"And cuddle on the couch, sounds perfect," Kat replied, as she finished the
idea. Billy smiled, as they left the youth center for his house.
~*~*~*
Billy and Kat arrived at the Cranston residence, and the young man
wasn't surprised to see that his father was out of town again. While he was
gone, his father was only home for a couple days, and Adam had easily covered
for him. Though there were times when Billy wished his father asked where he
was and cared enough to take the time to talk to his son. He knew his father
loved him, but since his mother had died, Peter Cranston had buried himself in
his work. Billy shook himself out of that train of thought and focused his
attention on the girl next to him.
"So, what do you want to watch?" Billy asked, as they sat down on the couch.
Kat eyed him hungrily and snatched the remote of his hand. She promptly
threw it over her shoulder and climbed into his lap.
"Forget the movie," Kat said, as her lips claimed his, which caused them to
both fall back onto the couch. And forgotten it was as his fingers became
tangled in her hair.
