Chapter 37: Rebecca's Worry
Rebecca was walking towards her car when Jack ran over towards her. "Rebecca, your dad just called," he informed. Rebecca looked at him with a quizzical look.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Josh is attacking Reefside Park with Zelinda by his side," he replied.
Rebecca gasped. She couldn't believe it. "So, the Dark Wizard succeeded of taking my brother?" She asked.
"We can still save him. Come on," he insisted.
They ran behind the school, Jack gave her the okay before getting ready to morph. "POWER TIME!" She yelled.
"PINK FOX!"
"RED THUNDERBIRD!"
They ran towards the park to find Josh and Zelinda standing on a hill. "Welcome, Power Rangers," he greeted. He then held his staff up and shot at Rebecca.
"REBECCA, WATCH OUT!" Jack yelled.
He grabbed Rebecca and they landed on the ground. Jack was on top of her and he looked down at her. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm fine, but we have to save my brother," she insisted.
Jack nodded before helping her off the ground. Josh then jumped off the hill and landed in front of his sister. "Let's get this over, Pink Ranger, or should I say Rebecca," he laughed. Rebecca whipped out her saber and she clashed weapons with her brother. Zelinda jumped down and had a staff appear in her hand.
"Let's get this over with," she snapped.
Zelinda attacked Jack only to have Jack's new saber that Billy had Dulcea send them. He needed more than just a whip to protect himself from the Dark Wizard's forces. Zelinda then grabbed Jack's arm and tried hitting him in the stomach only to have Jack sweep his leg off from under her.
Rebecca gasped in pain when Josh pinned her to a tree. "This is the end of the Pink Ranger," he laughed. Just then, a blast came from their left.
"HOLD ON GUYS!" Brandon yelled.
They stopped their cycles and Brandon ran over to help his girlfriend's sister. He pulled Josh off of her and Rebecca fell to the ground holding her throat. Jack then threw Zelinda and had cut her shoulder with his saber. "Zelinda! You will pay for this, Power Rangers," he snapped. Then they disappeared. Jack ran over to Rebecca to see her still gasping for air.
"Come on, we have to get your helmet off," he insisted.
He took off her helmet off and Rebecca grabbed onto his arm while gasping for air. Teresa then hurried over. "Is she okay?" She asked.
"She'll be fine. Josh just knocked the air out of her," Jack replied.
When Rebecca tried to stand, she couldn't stand. "Here, I'll carry you," he insisted. He picked her up. He then went back to the lab.
Jack and Rebecca had de-morphed when they got back to the lab.
Tommy hurried towards the door when he saw his daughter unconscious in his best friend's son's arms. "She's okay. She's going to get a bruise on her throat. Josh had her pinned to a tree," Jack informed. Tommy had Jack take Rebecca up to her room.
Jack placed Rebecca on her bed and looked at her. "She's just as beautiful as Ann is," he whispered. He closed his eyes and shook his head. "No, I can't," he whispered. He then left.
Rebecca woke up and felt pain go through her neck. She looked in the mirror to see a bruise. She walked out in the hallway to find the picture Ann and Rebecca gave Kimberly on her birthday. (AN: To find out what I am talking about read Together again and Forever.) She sighed and walked over to the next picture to find a family portrait of her with the whole family at Ann's birthday party a year before she left for KO-35. "Rebecca," Kimberly murmured. Rebecca turned around after putting the picture back up on the wall.
"Mom, I didn't hear you," she stated.
Kimberly smiled and stood in front of her daughter. "Sweet heart, I know you miss Ann and worried about Josh. I am too," she stated.
"I can't stand the thought of losing my brother and sister in the same year," Rebecca murmured.
Rebecca sighed and lowered her head. "Mom, I miss them both," she whispered. Kimberly embraced her daughter and tried her best not to cry. She had to stay strong for the rest of the children still standing.
When Rebecca let her go, Tommy came upstairs. "Zhane is on the line, he's asking about Zelinda," he informed. Rebecca sighed and knew that she had to tell Zhane and Karone the truth.
As they came to the lab, Zhane was waiting. "What's going on?" Zhane demanded.
"Zhane, I have some terrible news. The Dark Wizard has kidnapped my brother and your daughter. He has changed them from the people we know and love to our enemy," Rebecca informed.
Zhane didn't know what to say. "I have been through this before with her mother. Just do me one favor. Get her back and once you do, make sure we talk with her," he insisted. They could tell that he was going to lose his temper when he turned off the screen.
"What do we do now?" Rebecca asked.
"You have to rescue Josh and Zelinda from the Dark Wizard before it is too late," Tommy replied.
In the cave, Josh grabbed Zelinda's hands and looked into her face. "Don't worry, Zelinda. Those Power Rangers will pay for the pain they have given you," he assured. Zelinda kissed his cheek and got off the table after her shoulder was wrapped up. Josh then walked over to the Dark Wizard. "How will we defeat the Power Rangers, father?" He asked.
"My son, don't worry yourself. We will defeat the Power Rangers. Your mother will be mine and we'll rule the world with your beloved Zelinda by your side," he assured.
He grinned behind his mask. "Tommy Oliver will pay for the pain his ancestor has inflicted upon me," he snapped.
"Yes, Tommy will pay. I ashamed to be his son. I now see that you would have made a better match with my mother. Look at one bright side though, father. Without Tommy Oliver I would not be kneeling before you," he pointed out.
The Dark Wizard chuckled and touched the boy's face. "That is one bright side, son," he agreed. Josh nodded before going to Zelinda. "This boy is the greatest asset to my plan," he chuckled. He then watched Josh. "He's a great boy. The eyes of his beautiful mother, but the attitude of his pathetic father. The power of the two of them flow through his veins. A very powerful boy and he'll be a very powerful king one-day," he pondered.
