Chapter 12: Losing their Power Part I: Kimberly's Gone

Three months later, Ann came home one afternoon and watched as Rebecca went storming out of the house and Kimberly was chasing after her. "REBECCA JANE OLIVER! YOU GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" She ordered. Rebecca spun around to look at her mother.

"Why can't I go to this party?" She asked.

"Rebecca, you are too young and your father will fly through the roof if you ever went to a party full of kids over twenty," Kimberly snapped.

"I'm thirteen," Rebecca reminded.

"I know how old you are, Rebecca, I just don't want you to get hurt."
"I WON'T GET HURT THOUGH!"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT HUH? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT SOME GUY ISN'T GOING TO GRAB YOU AND DO WHATEVER HE WANTS WITH YOU?!"

Ann hurried over and grabbed Rebecca before she could run off. "LET ME GO, ANN!" Rebecca roared. Ann kept a firm grip on Rebecca's arms.

"You aren't going anywhere. Get in the house, Becky, and I'll explain later," Ann stated.

She had Rebecca go back inside and Kimberly was leaning against the doorframe with a sigh. She was thankful that the babies were with Mrs. Oliver for the day. "Mom, you should've told Rebecca when she got older, she had the right to know what happened to you all those years ago. That way she could be more careful," she stated.

"I know, it wasn't easy when you found out. You were only a baby," Kimberly murmured with tears in her eyes.

Ann walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Mom, because I know what happened to you, I have been more cautious of what I am doing. I would rather die than have the same thing happened to me," she assured. Kimberly touched her daughter's face with a sigh.

"I just wish that I were able to turn back time so I was able to tell your father about you. Then I wouldn't have been in that situation and neither would you," Kimberly sighed.

"Then Rebecca would be at that party right now," Ann pointed out.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"I love you, mom."

"I love you too, baby."

Ann hugged her mother with a sigh.

Then they walked inside.

Rebecca was sitting on her bed with her headphones on. Rebecca was the total opposite of Ann. Ann always got good grades and stayed out of trouble, Rebecca on the other hand gets C's, D's, and F's on her report card every year. She did karate but she hated gymnastics. She hated everything that Ann liked. Except there was one thing that Rebecca liked that her sister had and that was Brandon.

Kimberly and Ann came into the room and Ann removed Rebecca's headphones. "HEY!" Rebecca snapped.

"Becky, we need to talk," Kimberly stated.

Rebecca sat against the wall with a quizzical look. "Okay," she mumbled. Kimberly sat in a chair across from Rebecca's bed. Ann sat on the edge of her bed.

"Sweet heart, there's something that you need to know that I never want to happen to you. You see angel, when I was in high school, I became part of a team for the Pan-Global games. This you already knew, but there was one thing I left out. I had to quit the games, because I found out I was carrying Ann. However, I broke up with your father because I was afraid.

"Well, one day, I met a man his name was Jake and well, he wasn't a very nice person. The night we first met I was raped. Eight months later, Ann was born, but Jake wouldn't leave me alone and he kept saying that Ann was his daughter, even though she wasn't. However, he kept beating me every time I would try to leave, he beat me in front of your sister when I tried to leave once. One day, I sent Ann to live with your grandmother in France and the night I let her leave was the night my nightmare became worse.

"I ran away one day and I found your father here in Reefside and I ran for his aid and told him everything from Ann to Jake. Your father went to France and retrieved Ann. I became the Pink Ranger, your father and I got married, and then we got you," Kimberly explained.

Rebecca lowered her head in shame. Now she felt guilty for thinking her mother was being overprotective. She just didn't want the same thing happen to her. "I'm sorry, mom," she apologized. She hugged Kimberly with a sigh.

That night, Kimberly was sitting out on the porch when Tommy walked over to her. She had a blanket sitting across her lap and a cup of coffee in her hands. He knelt down next to her with a smile. "You're so far away where are you?" He whispered. Kimberly giggled and looked at him.

"I was just thinking," she replied.

Tommy touched her face with a smile. "What are you thinking about?" He asked.

"I was thinking about us, our children, and our life here in Reefside and back in Angel Grove," she replied.

He placed a kiss on the side of her head and touched the side of her head. "You're thinking too much," he stated.

"Hey," she stated while playfully pushing him, "I have that right to think too much."

He chuckled before giving her a kiss. "I'll be running some scans in the lab. Just holler if you need me," he informed.

"You got it. I'll be getting Tom, Katie, and Trent here in awhile," she acknowledged.

"Okay, just call me when you need me."

Tommy went inside and into his lab while Kimberly got up and started walking towards the beach, her favorite place for her to go when she was thinking. She heard something and put her cup down into the sand. She played with the necklace Tommy gave her for their second wedding anniversary. "W-Who's there?" She stammered. She gasped as minions appeared around her. "Great," she groaned. She kicked one away and started doing back flips. "I'm really getting too old for this," she commented. She did more back flips and landed on a rock. She screamed when three minions grabbed her. "TOMMY!" She called. She struggled against them. "TOMMY!" She screamed.

Tommy was running scans on the beach when his computer caught Kimberly calling him. "Kimberly," he whispered. Her pushed his chair back with so much force that it fell down the stairs. He ran out of the lab and towards the beach. Ann saw her father run and ran after him.

Kimberly tried kicking the one that had a hold on her feet. "TOMMY, HELP!" She screamed.

"HANG ON, KIMBERLY!" Tommy yelled.

"SI-KYAA!" He yelled. The minions that had a hold on Kimberly dropped her and Kimberly nearly fell onto the rocks. He grabbed her with a smile. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied.

However, Tommy was thrown against the rocks and the minions grabbed Kimberly again. Ann tried to get to the minions but they disappeared with Kimberly. "MOM!" Ann called. She ran over to her father to find a gash on his head. "Dad, dad, daddy," she whispered. Tommy didn't wake up. "REBECCA! JOSH!" She called. They came down and saw their father in trouble. "Daddy, you have to wake up," she begged. They ran over to them.

"What happened?" Josh asked.

"Minions attacked mom and dad came down here to try and save her. A minion threw him against the rocks," Ann replied.

"Where's mom?" Rebecca asked.

"The Dark Wizard has her," Ann replied.

"Here, we'll get dad to the hospital, go find mom," Rebecca urged.

"Okay."

Ann stood up. "ANIMAL POWER! COYOTE! PINK RANGER! POWER UP!" She yelled. She morphed and ran to find their mother.
