Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf
Chapter 20: Dreams
The rangers arrived back on earth, finding downtown Angel Grove in shambles.
"This is definitely Ivan's handy work," Tommy said.
"Billy, look!" Kat pointed. They all turned and saw Ivan's Ectomorphicons were the source of the destruction.
"We've got new zords, let's use them!" Tommy called.
"Right! Power of the Ninjetti! Spirit zords power up!" they called in unison.
"White Falcon Ninjetti zord, power up!" Tommy called.
"Pink Crane Ninjetti zord, power up!" Kim called.
"Yellow Bear Ninjetti zord, power up!" Aisha called.
"Red Ape Ninjetti zord, power up!" Rocky called.
"Black Frog Ninjetti zord, power up!" Adam called.
"Blue Wolf Ninjetti zord, power up!" Billy and Kat called.
Silly little man, it seems you had,
A big idea in your head,
To come and conquer me.
Rocky leapt onto the back of Hornitron, attempting to bring the massive mechanical monstrosity down. But Hornitron struggled, which was taking Rocky for a nice ride. Aisha powered up the bear zord and attacked Hornitron in an attempt to help Rocky out. Hornitron batted her away and she crashed into a near by building. Tommy flew the Falcon zord in and fired his missiles, but Hornitron was able to block them.
Now I don't mean to go and wreck your day,
but ya better turn and run away,
Or there'll be a big, big price to pay..
~*~
Cuz I am the one you should fear the most..
Cuz I am the one who will take you..down.
And as long as I exist..
There's hope for the world,
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world..
Billy reared the wolf zord back on its haunches and then leapt at Scorpitron. The zord's teeth locked onto Scorpitron's neck. The monster growled and tried to shake the zord off, but the wolf refused to let go.
"Billy, this is Adam. Disengage, I've got a clear shot," Adam said over the com.
"He's all yours Adam," Billy said, as he and Kat disengaged, but not before taking a chunk of metal out of the monster. Adam fired the Frog zord's fire breath, which singed the monster.
"How bout we call your weapon and put his lights out," Billy said to Kat. Kat nodded and made the call.
"Ninjetti Wolf Saber, power up!" Kat called.
"Ninjetti Wolf zord, warrior mode!" Billy and Kat called.
So, the battle field lights your way,
It's what you want, well then okay.
Prepare to disappear.
I'm gonna crush you down till you're so small,
That a mouse will seem like stories tall.
It's what you want..good bye!
The wolf zord reared back on its haunches, which became legs. The head of the wolf became the torso and a head unfolded. The wolf saber rested at the zord's side in a scabbard. The wolf warrior drew the sword at the order of its masters.
"Wolf Saber! Thunder Strike!" Billy and Kat called, as the agile zord leapt into the air and did a front flip. The zord dematerialized and swept through Scorpitron like a lightning bolt. Then, the zord rematerialized behind the monster, as it combusted into a show of brilliant flames.
Cuz I am the one you should fear the most..
Yes, I am the one who will bring you..down.
And as long as I exist..
There's hope for the world,
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world..
"We did it Billy!" Kat cheered.
"These zords are amazing," Billy said.
"Way to go guys, but could we get some help over here!" Aisha called.
"We're on our way," Billy said, as he took the helm.
~*~
Hornitron threw the ape zord off and batted the bear away again.
"Guys, I think its time!" Tommy called.
"Right, let's bring them together!" Billy called.
"We need Ninjetti Megazord power now!" they called in unison. The Frog became the legs and pelvis, while the bear folded into the torso and set itself on the frog. The wolf warrior transformed back into wolf mode and became one arm, while the ape zord folded into the other. The crane zord landed on top of the bear and became the head. Tommy secured himself on the megazord's back and joined the others in the torso cockpit.
Never a time, I fall apart...I must be strong.
Cuz the winners win, the losers lose.
Choose your sides...it's your move..
"They destroyed my precious zord and now I'm getting really angry!" Ooze growled, as he became an oozing form and began to excrete himself into Hornitron.
"Oh, I think I'm going to be sick!" Kim exclaimed. Ooze's head replaced Hornitron's and the monster became even more of a monstrosity.
"Gross," Kat commented.
"Wolf Saber engage!" Billy called, as the megazord drew the saber and the duel began.
"Let's end this guys!" Tommy called. With that, Billy and Rocky took the helm and delivered a wolf punch and an ape punch, which tossed Ivan to the ground. While Ivan was recovering, Billy and Kat took the helm and powered up the wolf saber.
"Wolf Saber! Fire Storm!" they called, as the saber created spinning rings of fire, which engulfed Ivan. Before Ivan could recover, Kat and Billy engaged another attack.
"Wolf slash!" they called, as the megazord slashed Ivan, slicing him up.
"Let's finish this!" Billy said. Kat nodded.
"Wolf Saber, final strike!" they called. An eerie wolf howl sounded, as the saber literally lit on fire with blue flames. The megazord wound up and struck the saber at Ivan. The blue flames swept through his mechanized form and he fell to the ground in a display of azure flames.
And I am the one you should fear the most..
Cuz I am the one who can bring you..down.
And as long as I exist..
There's hope for the world,
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world..
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world,
Hope for the world...
But his essence escaped and he spoke to the rangers.
"You have won today power rangers, but you have not seen the last of Ivan Ooze!" he called, as he disappeared.
"Yeah! We did it!" Kim cheered.
"Come on, we need to get back to Zordon!" Adam reminded. The rangers agreed and teleported to the power chamber.
~*~*~*
The rangers removed their helmets and shuffled to Zordon's broken tube.
"I'm sorry rangers, but I'm afraid you are too late," Alpha said sadly.
"Too late?" Billy exclaimed.
"This can't be happening," Kim cried. The others were silent, as they bowed their heads in sorrow.
"Wait, remember what we learned? To those who possess the power of Ninjetti, anything is possible," Tommy recited.
"Tommy's right, our animal spirits asked us to call upon them when we needed them. So let's save Zordon," Kat pleaded.
"Kat's right," Billy said, as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. The rangers gathered around Zordon and joined hands. They concentrated, each of them requesting the help of their spirit animals. The coins on the center of their chests began to glow brightly, as the power of the Ninjetti began to repair the damaged power chamber. The pure essence of power entered Zordon's body, restoring the breath of life to him. The powers repaired his broken tube and restored him as if he had never been hurt. The rangers beamed happily, as they realized that it had worked.
"Zordon!" Kim called.
"Rangers, it's good to see that you are all safe," Zordon said.
~*~*~*
World turns black and white, pictures in an empty room.
Your love starts fallin' down, better change your tune.
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring, reach of the sky.
Baby just spread your wings, and get...
Higher and higher, straight up we'll climb.
We'll get higher and higher, leave it all behind.Later that night, the rangers arrived at Ernie's outdoor cafe for a well deserved meal. Music played in the background, helping to add to the celebration.
"Tanya!" Adam called, as he caught sight of his girlfriend.
"Adam! I'm so glad you guys are okay," Tanya said, as she embraced him.
"I'm glad that you're okay," Adam replied, as he kissed her softly on the lips.
Run, run, run away, like a train runnin' off the track.
Got the truth bein' left behind, fall between the cracks.
Standin' on broken dreams, never losing sight.
Ah! Well, just spread your wings. We'll get...
Higher and higher, straight up we'll climb.
We'll get higher and higher, leave it all behind.The rangers sat down and ate together. After that, they watched a celebration of fireworks in honor of the power rangers and their victory over Ivan Ooze. After that, the celebration continued. Billy and Kat danced closely, oblivious to anyone else around them. Things were truly perfect at that moment.
~*~*~*
Peter Cranston stepped out of the elevator and onto the thirteenth floor of the Angel Grove Hospital. The staff knew him well, since he came by to visit a very special patient almost everyday. But his son had no idea that his father came here everyday, and Peter regretted not telling his son the real truth sometimes. He entered room 1304 and sat down by an unconscious woman's bedside.
"Good Peter, I'm glad you're here. There has been some change in your wife's condition," doctor Diana Hart, Kim's mom, said.
"Is she going to die after all this time in a coma?" Peter asked sadly.
"No Peter, you're wife is responding. We think she may actually come out of the coma," he replied.
"But she's been in a coma for almost six years!" Peter exclaimed.
"Yes, but this kind of thing is not unheard of. Rare, but not unheard of," the doctor replied.
"I've made a terrible mistake Diana, I should have never told William that his mother was dead. But I didn't think she'd wake up and I didn't want him to hold onto false hope for the rest of his life," Peter said.
"No, you should have told Billy, because its going to hurt him that you lied about this," Diana said.
At that moment, Kara Cranston's hand moved. Diana and Peter stared at the woman and watched as her eyes fluttered open for the first time in six years.
"Kara..." Peter choked out.
"Peter?" she asked.
"Yes honey, it's me," he said, as he took her hand.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Kara, you were in a car accident, do you remember anything?" he asked.
"Not really, where's my little Billy?" she asked.
"Kara...there's something I have to tell you. After the accident, the doctor's didn't think you would ever come out of the coma. I had a job offer in Angel Grove California, so Billy and I moved. I had you moved to the hospital here and I told Billy that you were cremated. I would have never told him that if the doctors hadn't encouraged that I try to move on for Billy's sake," Peter said.
"How long have I been in a coma?" Kara asked.
"Six years, Billy is seventeen now. And in a lot of ways, I've been a horrible parent. Billy will never forgive me for this," Peter said sadly.
"Darling, what you did was wrong, but I forgive you and Billy will in time. Now please, tell our son, because I really want to see my little boy," Kara said. Peter nodded.
"I'll talk to him in and bring him here in the morning. He's out with his girlfriend," Peter said.
"My little boy has a girlfriend?" Kara beamed.
"Yes, and they love each other very much. She's the reason I don't worry about him so much, she takes very good care of him," Peter told her.
"Make sure he brings her tomorrow, because I want to thank her," Kara told him.
"I will, I can hardly believe your back!" Peter said excitedly.
"I love you Peter," she said.
"I love you Kara, I never stopped loving you," Peter replied.
So baby, dry your eyes,
save all the tears you've cried.
Oh, that's what dreams are made of.
'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong.
Wo, that's what dreams are made of.
~*~*~*
Kat and Billy cuddled together on the couch at Billy's house, while watching a movie. Billy snaked his arms around her and tickled her. Kat giggled.
"Stop that," she scolded.
"Sorry, I have a hard time keeping my hands off you," Billy said.
"Then stop trying," Kat suggested, as he began to kiss her neck.
Higher and higher, straight up we'll climb.
Higher and higher, leave it all behind.
Oh, we'll get higher and higher, who knows what we'll find.
Just as they were about to go upstairs, Peter Cranston came home.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your evening, but I have something very important to talk to you about Billy. If you would Katherine, I'd like you to stay as well," Peter said, as he sat down in the chair.
"What's going on dad?" Billy asked.
"There's no easy way to tell you this Billy, so I am just going to tell you. After your mother's car accident, she fell into a coma, and the doctor's told me that she would probably never recover," Peter began.
"What are you talking about dad? I thought mom died on the way to the hospital?" Billy asked.
"That's because the truth was kept from you William. Your mother fell into a coma and I had her moved here to Angel Grove hospital when we moved here. They thought she would never come out of it, so they encouraged me to move on to help you cope," Peter said.
"Dad, what are saying?" Billy asked, as the frustration began to get to him.
"Your mother never died Billy and a miraculous thing has happened tonight. She woke up after six years in a coma," Peter told him. Billy's breath caught, as he felt like a ton of bricks had just been dumped on him. Kat squeezed his hand, letting him know that she was there.
"How could you? How could you let me think she was dead?!" Billy screamed.
"I didn't want you to hold onto any false hope that she would come out of it. I was trying to help you cope," Peter said.
"Help me cope!? You call immersing yourself in your work and forgetting I existed HELPING ME COPE!" Billy raged.
"I was wrong son. Please, I know you're angry, but your mother is very anxious to see you. If you'll let me, I want to take you to see her tomorrow and she'd like to meet Katherine as well," Peter said.
"Of course I'm going to see her! But yes, I am angry with you, and I can't deal with you right now," Billy said, as he took Kat's hand and stormed up to his room. Peter sighed in frustration.
"That went well," he said sarcastically.
~*~*~*
So baby, dry your eyes,
save all the tears you've cried.
Oh, that's what dreams are made of.
'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong.
Wo, that's what dreams are made of.
"How could he Kat?!" Billy sobbed into her shoulder. They lay on the bed together and Kat stroked his hair
"Shh...it's going to be okay love. I know what your father did was wrong, but just think Billy, tomorrow you'll be seeing you mother!" Kat comforted.
"I can hardly believe it, it's too good to be true," Billy said.
"Things would have been different had he just told me. I felt so lost after I thought she had died. For a long time, I thought I had done something wrong, because my dad seemed to quit caring about me. I know that he cares about me, but why did he ignore me like that, especially since mom wasn't really dead? He's told me that I'm just like her, but isn't that a good thing? Shouldn't he be proud of that? Why did he put me through so much hell?!" Billy cried. Kat caressed his cheek.
"I wish I had all the answers for you sweetheart. But I do know that I will always be here with you," Kat said. Billy hugged her tightly and kissed her.
"I know, I love you," Billy said.
"I love you too," Kat said, as she kissed him.
"I should walk you home so your parents don't worry," Billy said.
"I'd much rather stay here and hold you all night," Kat said.
"I just might have to let you," Billy replied.
"I'm sure T will cover for me," Kat said, as she cuddled close to him and they showed one another how much they loved each other.
And in the end on dreams we will depend.
'Cause that's what love is made of.
AN: Hope you liked it! In the next chapter, Billy is reunited with his mother. But Billy is still not ready to forgive his father for his lies. Thanks for reading and please leave a review! Bye!
