Hello everybody, here's the next chapter and I have to say it's pretty flippin good. Thank you all for your reviews and I'm still accepting suggestions on where to go with this. So enjoy, and please let me know what you think.

The next morning Dr. Oliver awoke to sound of birds chirping outside his window. For a second he smiled to himself at the noise, it was morning and it had all been a horrible nightmare. Reaching for his left arm he felt his wrist certain his dino gem bracelet would be there, but when he felt nothing but skin he jumped up and gazed at his wrist hoping it was there. It wasn't. Replaying the events of the night before in his head he remembered all too well what had happened.

After Kimberly had seized the bracelet and morphed into the Evil Pink Ranger, her and Tommy exchanged a few words, his much nicer than hers. As Kimberly stood before Tommy in her uniform he had no choice but to reason with her and hope things didn't get physical.

"Kimberly," he said immediately, "this isn't you. Lord Zedd has you under a spell. You have to remember who you really are, and it isn't this."

"Shut up, Tommy!" she snapped back grasping the bracelet even harder. "I know exactly who I am, I guess you just never got close enough to find out for yourself."

"What do you mean?" questioned Tommy, "I know you better than anyone else, and you know it." He was hoping to intimidate her thus creating a mental dual that hopefully he'd win because he was of his own mind. Tommy remembered how chaotic his thoughts had been whenever he was evil. He knew exactly what Kimberly was going through and he knew exactly how to treat it.

"Well, if you know me so well then how come I'm the one with upper hand!" she declared.

She did have a point. It was right about now that Tommy was feeling pretty stupid for having let her trick him. But it was only because he didn't want to believe that Kimberly was capable of evil. Back on the Island of Muranthias when she and Jason had been sacrificed to Maligore she had turned evil. Looking back that was probably the worst moment of Tommy's life up to that point. It was one thing for her to move to Florida and then send him a stupid Dear John letter. But it was something entirely different to not have her anymore at all. Right now that was the case. Kimberly was no longer Kimberly, but on the inside Tommy knew that she was still there.

"I let you win Kim," he admitted to her and himself, "but that doesn't mean that I'm going to let Zedd win."

"Let me win?" chuckled Kimberly, "You didn't let me win, I beat you. Just like I'm going to do now!"

Before Tommy knew it she had scaled the bed like it was nothing and was closing in on him. He had really pissed her off this time. He probably shouldn't have said that last thing about letting her win. Now he gave her a reason to have to prove herself.

When she reached Tommy he greeted her with a snap kick to the chin. He really hated to do it but if he didn't maintain the upper hand then he would probably be left with no hand. Kimberly fell back onto the bed dropping Tommy's bracelet next to her. Tommy acted fast and retrieved it before she had a chance to recover.

As she recovered from the blow Kimberly stood up with more furry than she had ever had before. She had to get that bracelet back, what would Lord Zedd do to her if she returned without it?

Before she could act Tommy had done it, he had uttered those horrible words "Dino thunder, power up, ha." He stood before her in all his glory.

For a second Kimberly thought all hope was lost. She had not yet actually taken on the Black Dino Ranger, and although she would never admit it she was scared. She knew what Tommy Oliver was capable of. He had saved her and the other Rangers countless times all by himself against some of Rita and Zedd's toughest monsters. Now she was the monster and would have to be the first to conquer him. As she stood up Tommy backed away from her slowly.

"I don't want to fight you Kim," he said compassionately, "But, I'm not going to let you win this time." He absolutely hated the way things were going.

Kimberly immediately recognized the hurt in his voice. Lord Zedd had been right; she was Tommy's weakness and right now was the best time to take advantage of that.

"Let's get this over with Black Ranger," she uttered as she took her stance.

"Your move Kim," responded Tommy regretfully.

Kimberly immediately snapped her leg up just as Tommy had done to her, but this time she struck the man on the side of the head. He recovered quickly and although the quarters was small he found a way to maneuver around so quickly she never saw his fist coming towards her. It hit her stomach and she momentarily had the air knocked out of her but was on the defense in no time. It was her turn, so she returned the punch directly to his stomach and his reaction was similar to hers. But unlike Tommy, she did not give him time to recover because she immediately knocked his feet out from under him causing him to crash to the floor. Kimberly then stood over him with her foot to his throat.

"So, you gonna gimme that gem or do I have to take it?" she asked.

"Neither," choked Tommy as he struggled for air.

Kimberly knew exactly how this battle was going to end, there was no way Tommy was going to give up that gem, and there was definitely no way that she was going to maintain the upper hand. Her position right now was just pure luck; there was no way that he was fighting at one hundred percent. He was simply trying to tire her out and Kimberly knew it. She had no choice but to provoke him and put herself out of her own misery.

So, she reached for her blade blaster, and just as she guessed Tommy had his Brachio staff in his hand before she could even aim at him. He struck her in the knees and pain surged through her entire body as she dropped to the floor, releasing him. The pain was excruciating in spite of her powers. As she struggled to sit up Tommy stood above her.

"Just stay down Kim," he ordered, "it will make things a lot easier," he pointed his Brachio staff directly in her face.

"You know I can't do that Tommy," she said softly just before aiming her blade blaster at his chest, but before she could pull the trigger he had already done it, sending a great surge of power through her tiny little body.

Tiny surges surrounded her body for a few moments, at first they were black and white and eventually they turned to pink as her body returned to its regular unmorphed state. She appeared unconscious and lifeless on the ground.

Tommy was stunned. He didn't mean to do it, he hadn't realize how much power he had forced into that last blow. Now, he felt helpless and vicious. He didn't deserve to win; he didn't even deserve to know the woman. Rushing to her side he cradled her in his arms.

"Kimberly, I'm so sorry!" he yelled over and over again with no response from her.

He hugged her to him as he felt her move slightly.

Kimberly opened her eyes slowly; a faint smile crossed her face. "Tommy," she whispered, "I forgive you."

Tommy was elated, she was alive. "Kimberly you're going to be okay, I promise," he assured.

"No Tommy," she responded, "it's over, but it will be okay," tears came to her eyes. "This is it."

Tommy couldn't believe what he was hearing, he couldn't lose her, he just couldn't.

"But before I go," she continued "I just want to see your beautiful face one more time, please."

"Anything you wish, Kimberly," he said as he powered down, revealing himself to her.

Tears began to fog his view of his one true love's beauty and he cursed them for their obstruction, and just as he went to clear them away with his left hand he felt it, a massive hit to his forehead, perhaps it was her elbow, or maybe her fist, but Kimberly Heart had once again played him for a fool, and knocked him out cold.
