(Now the Conclusion)

Kimberly couldn't stand there and wait any longer. "I'm going out there," she informed. SHe then hurried out of the room and nobody could stop her.

When she arrived at the site, she saw the Rangers getting up from the ground. She ran over to her friends. "Are you guys okay?" She asked.

"We're fine," Chad replied.

She helped him stand up and looked over at the Galaxy Rangers. "How about you three?" She asked. They nodded and stood up slowly. She listened to Carter promise Heather that they'll save her mom and that he had an idea. Carter looked up at Kimberly. "Don't you even say it, Carter Grayson. I'm able to fight," she assured him.

They arrived at the building and then Carter sent the Rangers to get firemen suits on. She pulled on the jacket and the rest of the gear when Carter came up to her. "You sure you want to do this?" He asked.

"Carter, I may be your mentor, but when it comes to jumping in when I'm needed, this is a time where I had to jump in," she replied.

Carter nodded and looked over at Dana. Dana smiled as she held onto his hand. "Ready to do this, Day?" He asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," she replied.

The fire alarms went off and Heather came running out of the building with everyone else. Kimberly went inside to get everybody out. Once they were all out, Kimberly removed the jacket and stuff waiting for Carter and Leo to return with the missing people. "Hey guys," Chad called. They ran over to the Blue Lightspeed Ranger and listened to his morpher.

"Goodbye Rangers," Trakeena laughed.

"Oh, God!" Kimberly gasped.
"Let's go," Chad urged.

They ran towards the truck and went to save their friends. Kimberly stopped the truck and she pushed the button so an inflated block could blow up to catch their friends. She got out of the truck to see if they were okay. "How lucky can a monster be?" Olympius laughed. Kimberly got into a fighting stance. "I get to destroy the Lightspeed Rangers, the Galaxy Rangers, and their mentor as well," he laughed.

"You're in for a big disappointment," Leo told her.

"Guys ready?" Carter asked.

"Ready," the Rangers replied.

"GO GALACTIC!"

"GALAXY RED!"

"GALAXY GREEN!"

"GALAXY BLUE!"

"GALAXY YELLOW!"

"GALAXY PINK!"

Kimberly placed a hand on Dana's shoulder. "You go, girl," she told them. Dana nodded.

"LIGHTSPEED RESCUE!"

"RED RANGER RESCUE READY!"

"BLUE RANGER RESCUE READY!"

"GREEN RANGER RESCUE READY!"

"YELLOW RANGER RESCUE READY!"

"PINK RANGER RESCUE READY!"

"Batlings destroy them," Olympius ordered. Kimberly then ran to defeat the bat creatures coming at her. Her old Ranger skills kicking in as she fought them. She flipped one over her shoulder and then she ducked down and punched one in the stomach. She then fought with the new skills that the Lightspeed Rangers taught her. She did a back flip over the batlings' heads and continued to fight them. Kimberly gasped when someone grabbed her from behind.

"KIMBERLY!" Carter shouted.

She felt a dagger pressed to her throat. "None of you are doing anything," Vypra threatened. Olympius just grinned evilly at them.

"Why am I wasting energy destroying you? I'll let Trakeena do that. She wanted to mutate, then I'll let her have her wish. Be careful what you ask for Trakeena. It's time," Olympius announced.

"What is he doing?" Carter asked.

Kimberly stayed closed her eyes and she was able to escape Vypra when she elbowed her in the stomach. She then ran over to her friends. "Are you okay?" Dana asked.

"I'm fine," she replied.

She then looked up at the mutated Trakeena. "It looks like you guys have your work cut out for you," she told them. They nodded and called for their zords. "Good luck," she called. She then stood beside Leo. Leo nodded to Kimberly, but then they saw that the Rangers were losing.

"We need the Galactic beats, but they're on Miranoi," Leo commented.

Kimberly bit her lip. "HANG IN THERE YOU GUYS!" She shouted. Just then, the Galactic beast came just in time. She looked over when Heather came out of hiding and ran by Kimberly. They watched as the Galaxy Rangers join power with the Lightpseed Rangers because Trakeena had defeated their Megazord. Kimberly nodded in approval when they defeated Trakeena once and for all.

Kimberly watched as Heather was reunited with her parents. She sighed as she fidgeted with her hands. "Tommy, how much I miss you," she whispered. Carter placed his hands on her shoulders and she looked up at him. He smiled at her and she smiled back before he went to talk to Heather's parents.

"Uh, ladies, you probably want one of these," Joel commented with an autographed picture in hand.

Kimberly laughed at the looks on Kendrix and Maya's faces. "I don't think so," Kendrix replied.

"Are you sure?" Joel asked.

Kimberly couldn't help but laugh and then looked over at Dana. "You had to put up with Trakeena all the way to Miranoi?" Dana asked.

"With Olmypius and Vypra, you had it tough enough," Maya assured them.

"Actually, I thought it was fun getting back in the game," Leo stated.

Everyone laughed. "Only you would think that was fun, Leo," Kai laughed.

"Could you stay awhile, Mariner Bay could use another team of Rangers," Dana commented.

"That's a great idea," Kelsey agreed.

"We love to but we're needed on Miranoi," Kendrix replied.

"Actually, maybe I'll stay for a little vacation," Damon commented while wrapping his arm around Kimberly and Dana's shoulders.

They laughed as Leo came over and pulled him away from the women. Kimberly then got into the Rescue Rover with her friends and they all waved goodbye as their friends passed overhead. "So, Kim, how did it feel to fight again?" Kelsey asked. Kimberly smiled at the thought.

"It felt great, even though it brought back some memories," Kimberly replied.

They nodded in agreement before they all went back to the Aqua-Base.
