Chapter 9: Saving the Teachers Part II

(Previously on Fighting for a Family)

The White Ranger entered the room again and stood next to Kimberly.

"As soon as your precious Tommy is dead, you will be mine," he stated.

"I will never agree to stay here with you, not while I'm still breathing," she snapped.

The Ranger then brought his head down closer to hers. "We will see, Pink Ranger, we will see," he snarled. Kimberly struggled as hard as she could while looking over at Tommy.

"Tommy, please hang on," she begged.

(Now the Conclusion)

Kimberly tried to hold back her tears when she saw her husband dying in front of her. "Tommy, please hang on," she begged. She tried to reach him, but her binds prevented her to do so. She lowered her head and tears fell from her eyes. Her husband was dying right in front of her and there was nothing she could do about it.

Once the rest of the team came to the lair, they became very cautious. "I got a reading from Mrs. Oliver. She's down this way," Kira informed quietly.

When they came through the doors, they found both of their teachers strapped down. They freed Kimberly and they undid the straps on Tommy. She kneeled beside him and tears fell down her face. "Tommy," she whispered. Tommy opened his eyes and looked beside him. He reached out and touched her face.

"Kimberly," he murmured.

"We're going to rescue you," she whispered.

"Just leave me here. Don't worry about me."

"Don't talk like that."

Connor and Trent had Tommy lean against them. "Come on, we have to go," Connor ordered. They were then transported out of the lab.

When they returned home, Shane took Tommy from the young men's arms and placed the dying man in the bedroom. "Kimberly, go with them," Tommy insisted. Kimberly shook her head.

"No, I'm not leaving you," she objected.

Tommy grabbed her hand and looked at her. "Beautiful, I'll be here when you come back. I believe in you," he whispered. She touched his face with a worried look. "If I'm not, just remember that I always have and always will love you," he added. She gave him a gentle kiss and pressed her forehead against his.

"I love you too, Tommy, I always will no matter what," she whispered.

She then stood up and her morpher appeared. "DINO THUNDER! POWER UP!" She yelled. She morphed and they hurried away.

When they came back to the lab, Mesogog was there to greet them. "Welcome," he greeted. Kimberly glared at him and stepped forward.

"Return my husband's Life Force gem," she ordered.

"Sorry, I can't do that, Pink Ranger. I already feel powerful with the Life Force gem that belonged to him," Mesogog replied.

Kimberly then saw the Life Force gem around his neck. "I've had enough. SUPER DINO MODE!" She screamed. She then charged at Mesogog who grabbed her by the throat.

"You can't defeat me while I still wear the gem," he snapped.

Then she heard Connor, Ethan, Kira, and Trent coming to help her in their Super Dino Mode. Mesogog dropped Kimberly and Kira helped her up.

After awhile, Mesogog disappeared and Kimberly threw her helmet off when they were sent into the forest. "NO!" She roared. She then began to lose it. Kira grabbed her shoulder, but Kimberly threw her off. After awhile, she sat alone in one part of the forest. Her helmet sat next to her and her face was buried in her hands. Kira then decided to take the chance of calming her down.

"Mrs. Oliver," she whispered.

Kimberly didn't look up, but the young Ranger knew she was crying. "Mrs. Oliver, I promise that we'll save Dr. Oliver," she assured. Kimberly lifted her head up and wiped her tears away.

"I'm usually stronger than this," she mumbled.

"The man you love is dying. You're suffering from it. That's normal," Kira reassured.

"He saved my life so many times, but I am having the difficulties of returning the favor."

"We will save him in time. I promise."

"If we don't save him, what will happen to the girls and me?"

"We'll take care of you," a voice assured.

She looked up and gasped. "Jason! Billy! Zack! What are you guys doing here?" She asked. She stood up and hugged them tight. "How did you find us?" She added.

"Tommy gave us this to track you down," Jason replied while holding up the tractor beam monitor.

"We saw him, we'll take care of you like we always have," Billy assured.

"We're not giving up yet though," Connor insisted.

Kimberly shook her head and then Zack wiped the remaining tears on her face. "Go get them, Pink Ranger," he urged. She nodded and pulled her helmet on.

"Let's go," she ordered.

They hurried back towards the lair while the original rangers watched them go.

When they came to the lair, they saw that the ninjas were there to help them. They heard someone behind them and turned to see Jason, Zack, and Billy there again. "You don't have to fight you know," Kimberly pointed out.

"Sensei was able to power these up one very last time," Shane informed.

"Some how, that girl Hayley had powered our old coins up. Apparently, Tommy was able to save them when the Command Center was destroyed," Billy explained.

"NINJA STORM! RANGER FORM! HA!" They yelled.

"MASTADON!"

"TRICERATOPS!"

"TYRANNOSAURS!"

Kimberly was impressed and then they walked through the lair together.

They came back to a long corridor and dinodrones surrounded them. "KIMBERLY! WE'LL FIGHT THESE OFF! YOU GO FIND MESOGOG!" Jason yelled. Kimberly hurried away. She left her friends behind to battle

When she came to the lair, she gasped to see Mesogog standing there. "Welcome, I see you're trying again to try and save your precious lover," Mesogog taunted. Kimberly glared at him and started fighting with him.

"Give me that stone, she hissed.

"Sorry, I just happen to like my new gem," Mesogog commented.
"SUPER DINO MODE!"

She then began to fight him that way. She did a flip over his head and grabbed the gem on her way. "NO!" Mesogog yelled.

"See ya," she laughed.

She ran down the halls and came to her friends. "GUYS, I HAVE IT!" She yelled. They nodded and they ran with her towards the exit.

They ran as fast as they could out of the lab and then the dinodrones were right behind them. When they came out of the lab, they turned around and fought the dinodrones before de-morphing. "We better get back," Billy insisted. They nodded and ran off back to the house.

When they got back to the house, the rangers looked at their friends. "Thanks for your help again. I guess this is the very last time you'll fight by our sides," Kimberly sighed.

"We'll always help as long as you call," Dustin assured.

"We'll always have your back," Zack assured.

Kimberly nodded and hurried inside.

Tommy was weakening by the second. "Tommy," she whispered. She then placed it on his chest, but it wasn't working. "What's wrong?" She asked. Then Dulcea appeared as a hologram. "Dulcea!" She gasped.

"Hello, Kimberly, it is an honor to meet you again," she greeted.

"How did you know Tommy was in trouble?" Kimberly asked.

"I could feel it," Dulcea replied.

"Something's wrong with Tommy. His life force was taken, and I have retrieved his gem, but it isn't getting better," Kimberly explained.

"Tommy has been a mentor and a warrior for a long time. It is time to prove the stone of how much Tommy really means to you and that's by combining all of your powers."

The ninjas, the original rangers, and Hayley stepped back and watched as the rest of the rangers formed a circle around Tommy. They held their arms up and had their hands connect. They closed their eyes and their symbols on their uniforms glowed. Kimberly felt tears fall from her eyes as she tried to save her husband. "Tyrannosaurs. Dr. Oliver means a lot to me because he is more than a mentor, he's more like a friend, and he helped me when I struggled with my powers," Connor murmured. The symbol turned red and into a T-Rex and it went into the gem.

"Pterodactyl. Dr. Oliver means a lot to me because when he could, he was able to support me of my dreams. He taught me a lot of things and he's able to juggle around a job, family, and protecting the world," Kira murmured.

Her symbol turned yellow and into a Pterodactyl and it went straight into the gem, making it glow yellow. "Triceratops. Dr. Oliver is the greatest person that ever lived. When we struggled against the enemy, his advice always helped," Ethan murmured. The symbol turned blue and into a Triceratops and it went into the gem, making it glow blue. Trent closed his eyes and a symbol appeared on his chest.

"Dragonzord, Dr. Oliver tried his best to save me when I was evil. When I became good, he was the first person that accepted me into the team. He was able to believe me that I was good once again and not a trick. Dr. Oliver has done so much for me, I just want to return the favor," he murmured.

The form of his Dragonzord formed from the symbol and into the stone, making it glow white. Kimberly took a deep breath and a single tear fell from her eye as she tried to save her husband.

"Stegosaurs. Tommy means the entire world to me. When I had a bad day, he made everything okay. He took care of me when I needed him and he helped me with Ann, Rebecca, and Josh. Tommy is my life and soul. I don't want anything to happen to him," she whispered.

The symbol turned pink and into a Stegosaurs and it went into the black gem making it glow pink for a second. The gem began to glow all colors of the rangers except for black. Tommy was getting color back in his face and his breathing stopped being labored. He opened his eyes and the gem had disappeared. "Tommy," Kimberly whispered. Tommy looked up to see his students, friends, and wife standing around him. He sat up and pulled his wife in his arms. She tried so hard not to cry against him, but the fear of losing him just made it even worse for her not to do that.. "Oh, thank God. Tommy, I thought you had left us forever," she whispered. He hugged her tight and sighed. Dulcea nodded to her friends and disappeared. Tommy looked up to see Jason, Zack, and Billy there.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" He asked.

"We were here just for a visit, but then we heard about you dying and Kimberly and the rest of the rangers were losing, we had to find them and give them advice," Jason replied.

"How long will you guy be staying?" Tommy asked.

"Like what Kat said before, as long as you need us to stay."

"How is Kat?"

Zack nudged Jason with a grin. "Well, Kat's working at her own dance school at the moment, she couldn't make it to tell you the news. We have decided to move to Reefside," he informed.

"We're coming with them," Billy informed.

"Are you guys really?" Kimberly asked.

"Yep, we'd like to have Ann play with our own kids like we did when we were children," Zack agreed.

"How are Brock and Teresa?" Tommy asked.

"They're great. Teresa looks like Trini everyday," Billy replied.

"When will you guys be here?" Kimberly asked.

"Next week," Jason replied.

Then they looked up when Ann and Rebecca ran into the room. "MOM, DAD!" Ann exclaimed.

"MOMMY, DADDY!" Rebecca exclaimed.

They both leaped up into their parents' arms and hugged them tight. Tommy smiled at Kimberly before they got up and left the room with their friends and daughters to talk about next week.
