Here's the next chapter and please let me know what you think. I hope I didn't make Kimberly too evil. And, I don't own the Power Rangers, etc. Enjoy.
As Kimberly Hart set foot on Earth once again she was no longer the evil Pink Ranger. Instead, she was the evil Kimberly Hart. These were two very different people with two very similar goals to seek revenge. The evil Pink Ranger sought revenge in the name of Lord Zedd while the pretty high school teacher sought revenge for herself, her fears, and her regrets.
Lucky for Kimberly Lord Zedd transported her to a hidden location behind some dumpsters in what appeared to be an alleyway.
'Why'd he send me here out of all the places...' she thought to herself in annoyance as she inhaled the smell of week old garbage that radiated around her. She knew that she should have come in uniform, but she did not want to attract attention. At least not before she pinpointed her target.
But as she turned the corner and scoped out the scenery she knew exactly why her master had chosen this spot. Walking towards her was a sight, which she had not seen in years, a sight that she thought she might never see again. It was Tommy Oliver.
At first she was taken aback by the surprise, but then she quickly became overwhelmed with a rush of memories. Memories of holding hands in the park, longing glances in the youth center, finding any reason to make physical contact even if it was just a pat on the back, and kisses that made everything else in life obsolete.
There, walking toward her was Tommy Oliver, her White Knight in shinning armor, and the man of her dreams. His face was exactly the same, just as handsome as it ever was, but with a goatee, which would not take long to get used to. His hair was short now, and immediately she missed the soft ponytail. His body was a little bigger than she remembered, but she was not complaining.
It was as if time had done no harm except in one very important feature, his eyes. They were not the same eyes that had followed her every move and understood her every thought, and that was not just because of the glasses. No, they were much harder now. It appeared that Tommy was no longer Tommy, and she missed that. But, she also could not help but fall hard for Dr. Thomas Oliver.
Before she could completely evaluate the situation she was forced back into the alleyway so quickly that she was sure he had not seen her when his gaze shifted from the sky to the building. As she leaned up against the wall holding her breath she was half expecting to hear him call her name. But instead she heard the door open in an eruption of voices and then close with the silence of the breeze.
Surprised by her utter lack of self-control and sappy, pathetic urge to fall into the Black Ranger's arms Kimberly sighed in frustration. She could not believe how quick she was to disregard her previous feelings at the mere sight of the man. Not only that, she was just inches away from betraying Lord Zedd, and those consequences were something that she did not even want to begin to think about.
Deciding that the coast was probably clear Kimberly once again stepped around the corner and crept past the door until she reached the large rectangular window. The whole way her mind was playing a relentless game of tug of war and neither side was winning. On the one hand she had her loyalties to Lord Zedd and herself. While on the other hand she could not at all remember why she had ever sought vengeance on Tommy Oliver to begin with.
She reluctantly reminded herself that this attraction was bound to happen and it was merely a representation of the weak little girl she was before Lord Zedd and Rita took her in. If anything this whole experience should be reminding her just how insignificant she was before her master was kind enough to bestow upon her the dark powers. Then why was she frantically searching for the tall handsome man in the window?
Never mind that right now, she had spotted him. Amongst the crowd she noticed the man in black in the center of the room in the back row. He was starring at the blond girl in yellow on the stage intently. She did not instinctly become jealous though, because it was obvious to her who the girl was, the Yellow Ranger. An evil smirk grew upon her face at thought of obliterating the girl all together. She relished in her evil thoughts; she was in control of herself now.
Just then two teenage boys approached the man and once again it became obvious to Kimberly that the boys were not just teenagers, they were Power Rangers. The very tall boy in red was quite handsome and very fashion conscious. A combination that would have normally driven the Pink Ranger wild. But not this time, instead all she could think about was taking a blade blaster to his pretty little face. Tommy shook hands with him and then acknowledged the boy in blue next to him. This kid did not intimidate Kimberly one bit. She laughed out loud at the mere thought of seeing the geek in action.
"Excuse me miss? Um, are you okay?"
The young male voice of a panting teenager brought Kimberly to her senses. She must have appeared to be a total psycho. She was crouching in front of a window of a public place with no shoes, disheveled hair, paint all over her shirt, and to top it all off she was laughing hysterically.
After her face changed back to its original color she turned to the young man. He was also handsome. In fact he was tall, dark, and handsome. He too was dressed very well in a white button up shirt and designer jeans. But Kimberly was no fool; she knew exactly whom she was dealing with.
As she turned around a fake but believable sincere smile grew across her face.
"Yes, um, I'm fine. I'm sorry," she continued with a sweet tone in her voice, "I must look pretty weird. I really am okay I'm just having one of those days."
Trent wanted to believe the beautiful young woman but there was just something very unsettling about her but he could not pinpoint exactly what it was. He decided to give her the benefit of the doubt though. If anybody knew anything about needing the benefit of the doubt it was Trent.
"You're sure?" he said with deep concern.
"Yes, of course. You're so sweet to be so concerned but I really am okay."
"Well, is there anything I can do for you? My friends are just inside, I could just go get them real quick and we could help-"
"No!" Kimberly interrupted with intense force. She did not mean to sound so insistent but she could not risk Tommy seeing her. "I mean, um, I'm fine. There's no need to bother anyone. In fact I was just leaving. It was nice meeting you um?"
"Trent." Responded the young man as he stuck out his hand for the pretty girl to shake.
Kimberly shook his hand politely and began walking in the other direction, "Well see ya." She yelled over her shoulder.
"Wait," called out the young man, "you didn't tell me your name."
Kimberly cursed the kid in her head, how annoying could he possibly be? She had to think fast, "Um, you can call me Ms. Har-Harper. Ms. Harper."
"Um, Okay Ms. Harper, be careful and it was nice meeting you too."
Trent finally went in the door as Kimberly was halfway across the street. 'It's about time, irritating little mutant.' She thought to herself. 'What does he care what my name is.'
Once she reached the window again it did not take her long to zero in on her target. She still could not believe she was here in Reefside and Tommy was only a window apart from her. As she began to let her sentimental feelings take control she was not prepared for what came next. Just then a woman with long curly burgundy hair stepped behind the Black Ranger and leaned in very close to him as she whispered something into his ear.
Kimberly began to feel her previous feelings evaporate as Tommy took the woman in his arms and embraced her tightly. Suddenly it became very clear to the Pink Ranger why she wanted vengeance on Dr. Oliver. He was just like Tommy Oliver, and he would hurt her the same way. It all began to come back to Kimberly.
That day, looking in the viewing globe she saw Katherine clutching his arm so tightly, her head tucked in his shoulder, and not an inch between them. Then she remembered the day they went to the beach. Katherine did not want to go, but when Tommy invited her it was as if there was no decision to be made. Yet, none of those memories compared to the incident when she was stuck in the hospital recovering from her dangerous fall off the balance beam. It was because of Katherine that Kimberly was so exhausted to begin with. She stole her power coin and was responsible for all of the complications. It was all Katherine's fault and Tommy was so quick to forgive her.
Kimberly's eyes grew red with the intensity of her building emotions, as the couple in front of her turned towards each other and gazed into the other's eyes. Tommy was the same Tommy now as he was all those years ago. He could not be trusted then and he could not be trusted now. He had to pay for the hurt he caused her and she was ready to make sure that he did, today.
"It's morphin' time!" She declared to the world as the pink shroud of evil engulfed her and shaped to her form resulting in the introduction of the evil Pink Ranger to the people of Reefside. She was going to enjoy this, and when she was done things would never be the same for the Black Ranger.
As she flipped through the glass window with a strong, piercing "Hiyaaa!" her eruption into the room startled the Yellow Ranger. The pathetic little girl looked like a deer in headlights. Her shrill was delightful. The rest of the room was no better or braver for it took only seconds for the screaming teenagers to evacuate the room. Once they were gone all that was left was the Power Team. Yet somehow they did not look so powerful. The yellow ranger froze, still on the stage, while that other three boys were shrunk on the floor, along with their leader and his silly little girlfriend.
Kimberly took great joy in the expression that seemed to be permanently tattooed on the Black Rangers face. He looked horrified and stunned at the same time. He began to shake his head and the words "No, no, no..." escaped his lips in a whisper over and over again. It was as if the other Rangers were helpless without his leadership. Before they could even gather their bearings the evil Pink Ranger was making her first move in the form of a roundhouse kick to the fallen Black Ranger's chest. He hardly saw it coming. In fact no one saw it coming. All they saw was their leader hit the ground with a devastating thump caused by his head hitting the floor. Haley shrieked out in horror as the evil beast in front of her exploded into laughter.
Connor and Trent lunged at the black and pink monster as Kira and Ethan hunted for weapons. But it was too late, she was gone with one quick blast of pink lightning it was over and they had failed the Black Ranger.
Chapter 7 will hopefully be up sometime next week. Please come back and don't forget to review this chapter. Thanks.
