Disclaimer: You know the drill.

A/N: This will definitely be a tearjerker chapter for some, as lovers are torn apart. Believe me, it was very hard to write this chapter, modeling Samantha and Kyle after my girlfriend and myself.

Chapter Five-Lovers Ripped Apart

KYLE MARTIS' HOUSE

Kyle's parents had just left to go and buy another suitcase for Kyle at the Angel Grove mall, so he decided to call his friends over for a farewell party. They bought pizzas, and watched some of Kyle's favorite movies, including Aliens, and Enter the Dragon, which inspired Kyle to go into martial arts.

After a few hours, the teens bid farewell to Kyle until tomorrow, and they left, except for Samantha. She helped clean up the mess left behind by the ranger teens. As she threw away the last of the paper plates, she leaned down on the counter, her head in her hands, crying.

"Samantha, it's going to be OK," Kyle said, trying to comfort her.

"No it won't be Kyle, I LOVE you, and I would do anything in the world to see you again. Depending on how far you go, I might not ever see you again," she said, tears streaming down her cheeks.

He raised her head saying, "You'll be able to see me whenever you want,"

"But…but how will I?" Samantha asked, wiping the tears away from her cheeks.

Kyle smiled and walked away, returning with a box. He opened it revealing a golden locket, shaped in a heart.

Samantha gasped, putting a hand to her mouth, saying, "Oh my God!"

Kyle smiled to her, and said, "Open it,"

Samantha did, seeing on one side, a picture of them together, at the junior prom, and a blank space on the other side.

"What this blank spot for Kyle?" she asked.

"That's how you can see me. I had Zelda design this feature, just say I wish I could see Kyle, and wherever I am, you'll be able to see me," Kyle said.

Samantha smiled and softly said, "Kyle, thank you,"

Kyle said, "You're welcome," and put the locket around his girlfriend's neck. As he did, he revealed one of his own saying, "We'll always be together,"

Samantha began softly crying again, and this time, Kyle stopped her, with a long, passionate kiss. Samantha turned to him, saying, "Can we do it again?"

Kyle looked at the clock in the den; his parents wouldn't be home for two more hours. He nodded as they went into his bedroom. Samantha and Kyle removed their clothes, and once again had sex with each other, for the last time.

THE POWER CHAMBER

The next day, Kyle was teleported early into the Power Chamber, to bid Zelda, his mentor goodbye.

"Kyle, you have grown into a truly amazing young man, and I wish only the best for you. These past years here have been a thrill with you leading the team, now I only hope they will be able to move without your guidance and wisdom," Zelda said, hugging the teen.

She pulled out a slender red box, revealing a communicator.

"If I ever need you, or if Japan ever needs us, call us," Zelda said.

Tears were brimming in his eyes as he said, "Thank you,"

He wrapped his arms around Zelda, besides Samantha, this fortress, his second home would be missed most of all. Kyle wiped the tears from his eyes, letting go of Zelda.

"Is everything ready for my surprise to the others?" Kyle said.

Zelda said, "Yes my friend,"

Kyle said, "Thank you Zelda, for all you've done for me these past years,"

Zelda said, "You are welcome, but it is me who should be thanking you. Your tireless dedication to the power ranger team has kept Divatox's dark future from reigning over this world. Kyle, you are a true leader, and I only hope Samantha will be the same in your absence,"

Kyle smiled, and pressed the communicator, and exited the Power Chamber for the last time.

ANGEL GROVE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Kyle pulled up to the airport, checking his six bags, and lugging two in with him. He went through the security checkpoints with no problem, heading to his gate to check the flight. When he reached the desk, he saw Divatox, in disguise, but was not sure what was going to happen.

"Hello…Kyle. I must say these past years have been quite a challenge with you. But now that you're leaving I think that Earth's conquest will be fairly easy. You were a worthy adversary, but now you're just a civilian, but I won't forget you in the new world order, so remember that Kyle," she said, disappearing.

Kyle stood there, pondering Divatox's words, but shrugged them off as the plane came to the gate.

THE POWER CHAMBER

At noon, Zelda called the rangers to the Power Chamber.

"Rangers, I know that you all are upset of Kyle's resignation, but it is for the best. Kyle left you something to remember him by," Zelda said, guiding the surprise down to the floor.

It was the viewing globe, completely restored, and made to look like it hadn't suffered through the explosion of the Command Center.

"Zelda…what is it?" Susan asked.

"It is the viewing globe, but has been reengineered to show you Kyle whenever you six wish," Zelda said.

Kyle's face appeared on the globe in a pre-recorded message.

"Surprise guys! I hope you enjoy this gift. My days as a power ranger were the best of my life, and I only wish they could have been longer. Had we not been chosen to defend Earth, I don't think that we would be this close as friends. I consider you guys my family, and I wish all of you the best. I hope I can return soon for a visit, but I'm not sure when it will be. Guys, you were all unique. Each of you had a great attribute that I will remember about you: Your athleticism, your comedy, your high spirits, your caring, and your love. I will miss you everyday until my return. Love from your friend and comrade, Kyle," the screen said as it went blank.

That's when the emotions were let out. Tears were present in everyone's eyes as they flew to Zelda for comfort and support. She felt the exact same way, but could not help feeling that something more evil and more diabolical was on its way, and that there would be no way to stop it.

A/N: Oh, tearjerker and cliffhanger in one chapter. Anyway, there will most likely be between 1-3 chapters left in this story.
