CHAPTER 31 Reconciled Love
As shocked as they were, the rangers managed to transport themselves and the Zordon-possessed Leila back to Dr. Oliver's house. Anton Mercer quickly met them over there, shocked and dismayed at his possessed daughter.
"HOW did this happen?" he asked.
"Leila cast some type of spell, the sky went all weird, and the next thing we know, she's possessed by Zordon," Trent explained. Leila looked calm but interjected.
"If I may, it is imperative that I transfer hosts soon," she said, or well, Zordon said.
"Why Zordon?" Katherine asked.
"Leila possesses a great deal of power. It is unclear what my presence will do to this power, but it would be better if I was hosted by someone with no powers," Zordon/Leila said.
"Well, if it means keeping Leila safe, than use me," Anton offered.
"Mr. Mercer, it's really dangerous," Kira interjected.
"It's more dangerous for Leila," Hunter commented.
"I'm doing it," Anton said. He stood in front of Leila/Zordon, who took his hand. Suddenly, a power surge went through both of them. The light that had surrounded Leila before illuminated and transferred to Anton. When it died down, the power seemed to blast through them, knocking Leila back into Hunter, Trent, and Dustin while Anton only stumbled, being stopped by Tori and Dr. Oliver. Leila was disoriented. Trent and Hunter helped her up.
"Dad are you okay?" Trent asked.
"He's fine Trent. How are you Leila?" Anton/Zordon asked. Leila finally came out of her disorientation and her eyes widened when she heard the voice come from her father.
"Oh man, it worked," she said.
"How long have you been able to do this Leila?" Dustin asked.
"Do what?" she asked.
"Call a spirit to possess your body," Devin interjected. Leila sighed, scared to admit it.
"I've known about the magic for a while now. I only found out about the possession spell a couple of weeks ago. That was the first time I cast that spell," Leila said.
"Are you out of your mind?! You could've killed yourself!!" Hunter screamed at his girlfriend. Leila looked pained at his sudden sternness.
"I'm so sorry I took a chance to help the planet and that it WORKED Hunter!" she retorted before running out of the basement and out of the house. Hunter sighed, ran his hands through his hair, and scolded himself as he collapsed into his chair.
"Man," he whispered.
"You'd better go after her. And walk so you have time to calm down," Blake said.
"How can I calm down? She's risking her life one time after another and I can't stand the thought of...losing her," Hunter said, calming down.
"Hunter, you risk your life too. Do you think that stops Leila from worrying or even the rest of us for that matter?" Tori asked. Hunter sighed and smirked, knowing that once again, the girl was right. He got up and headed towards the stairs.
"Hey Bradley, be careful," Trent said.
"I'm not going to break Leila's heart Trent," Hunter said reassuringly.
"That's good, but that might not stop her from breaking some of your bones," Trent said. The veteran rangers stifled laughter while the storm and dino rangers burst out laughing. Hunter laughed on the way up the stairs and out of the house. Anton/Zordon looked to the laughing Tommy.
"I don't think I'll ever understand young romances," he said. Tommy frowned. Meanwhile, Hunter was only a little ways away from he heard small sobs. He looked over and saw Leila leaning against a tree. She had her head buried in her arms. Hunter's heart broke when he saw her crying. He carefully walked over to her and sat down next to her. He put his hand on her back.
"Leila," he whispered. Leila jumped and saw that it was him, she broke down crying more. She hugged him and cried into his shoulder. Hunter held her tight.
"Hunter, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking, I just wanted to help," she said through her sobs.
"Don't be sorry baby. That's what you're supposed to do. You're a ranger. I just can't stand the thought of losing you," he whispers. Leila looked him in the eye. Hunter gently wiped her tears with his fingers. They didn't say anything but sealed their apologies with gentle, passionate kisses. Little did they know that they had an audience. Blake had snuck out to make sure that Hunter hadn't blown his cool again. He smirked when he saw the two making out. He turned back towards the house to give them some privacy when he ran into Tori. She put his arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. When they separated, Blake looked at her in surprise.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"I'll let you know when I think of a reason," she said before pulling him back in for another kiss. Jason and Katherine could see them from Tommy's front porch.
"Teenagers," Jason said. Katherine smirked at him.
"I kind of thought they had the right idea," she said. Jason smiled and slyly put his arm around Katherine. Katherine had to keep herself from laughing. It didn't take much to do it when Jason started to kiss her. Trent and Kira weren't spying on anyone, but they did sneak off to get some privacy. They passed by Adam and Aisha sharing a moment under a nearby tree.
"Seems like everyone's pairing off," Trent said.
"Yea, I guess being a ranger may also destine you to be with your soulmate," Kira said. Trent pulled Kira into him.
"Well, I like destiny," he said while smiling. Kira grinned and they kissed. Tommy sighed as he saw all the couples from his kitchen window. Everyone else was downstairs in the basement. He dried another dish and put it on the counter.
"What are you thinking of handsome?" said a familiar voice. Tommy glanced up and smiled when he saw Kimberly. She approached the sink, grabbed another towel, and started helping him dry dishes.
"Thinking of how much I miss having what all of them have," Tommy said, pointing outside. Kimberly frowned and looked outside, seeing all the couples. She sighed.
"I wouldn't mind having that again," she said quietly, drying the dish. Tommy wasn't sure what to say. He hadn't felt this nervous since the first time he asked Kimberly out. His heart was beating fast and he felt so hot. He put the dish back in the sink, threw the towel down and turned to Kimberly.
"Kim, I really miss you," he admitted. Kimberly looked at him in a little bit of shock. She smiled a little as tears started to form in her eyes.
"Really?" she asked quietly. Tommy nodded.
"I don't think I ever stopped," he said. Kimberly swallowed hard.
"Me neither," she admitted. The two didn't know what else to do but one thing. They leaned and exchanged their first kiss in almost ten years.
The infamous Tommy/Kim romance has been reconciled. But we still have Leila's plan to go through and that's not to say what else is in store for the rest of the story. Please R&R.
