Chapter 28: Nightmares Part II: The Victory

Kimberly sighed as she looked at her sons. Blake had a small cut on his forehead from the debris falling. Hunter had a gash on his cheek from the debris. She looked over at Dana who was walking away from the sound of the glass breaking. She walked over to her. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"What do you think, Kim? There's no news whether Ryan and Carter are okay or not. The window is going to break any minute," Dana replied.

Kimberly placed her hands on Dana's shoulders. "Dana, I promise you everything's going to be okay," she assured her. Dana sighed and looked over at the boys.

"How are they doing?" She asked.

"They have a couple of cuts, but other than that, they're okay," Kimberly replied.

Dana looked over and her eyes widened. "Guys, look," she called. They walked over towards the monitor and saw that it was the Megazord that Kimberly and Ms. Fairweather created. It was attacking the city and putting stones in place around the Skull Cavern.

"Oh, no!" Kimberly gasped.

She could feel the fear coming from her friends. She quickly walked away and wrapped her arms around herself. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see her daughters again. Especially her baby girl. Kylie was the only memory she had left of Tommy. Kimberly jumped when someone tapped her shoulder. She looked over her shoulder and saw Hunter standing there. "Mom, are you okay?" He asked.

"I'll be all right, Hunter," she replied.

Kimberly placed her hands on his shoulders. "I promise you, Hunter. We will get out and we'll be a real family," she vowed. Hunter nodded, knowing that his mom was going to try and have him have the family he wanted to have since his parents were gone. The only family he had before was his sister and now he had a brother and two sisters. Along with a great mother who loved him like there was no tomorrow. Hunter smiled at her.

"Mom, you've been a great mom, you gave me the family I dreamt of having for a long time. Ever since my dad's accident and my mom committed suicide, you took my sister and me in without a negative thought. For that, I'm really grateful for. I love you, mom," Hunter explained.

Kimberly smiled as she hugged Hunter tight. Blake smiled as he walked over to Kimberly. "Mom, I've been going back and forth between foster parents all my life because my mother didn't want me and my dad had run off. I am also grateful to have you to be my mom," he agreed. Kimberly hugged her boys tight and sighed. "I love you, mom," he murmured.

"I love you too, boys. I love you so much," she answered.

During that time, they had found a place to get to the submarine bay, but it was flooded so Chad took the chance to go to the submarine bay. When he came back, he looked at them. "It's not far, we can swim there," he informed. Kimberly walked over and grabbed air tanks for her boys.

"Hunter, Blake, you two go first. I'll be right behind you, I promise you," she assured them.

They took the air tanks and followed Chad to the submarine bay. Then Kimberly went in along with Dana behind her. After Dana went Kelsey, Joel, Ms. Fairweather, and then finally, Captain Mitchell. They all had escaped and were at the submarine bay.

Once they arrived, Kimberly saw her boys there waiting for her. "Come on, mom," Hunter insisted. They helped her out of the water and then Kimberly helped Dana out.

"That's our ticket out of here, let's go," Joel insisted.

They got into the submarine, but then they were attacked by batlings and stopped them from getting in. "We're not even in the water," Chad confirmed. Joel looked around.

"We'll get in the water," he assured them.

"Joel, this is a submarine, not a plane," Captain Mitchell pointed out.

Kimberly knew what they were planning and helped Dana out. They blasted the Aqua-Base wall wide open and they were free. Kimberly laughed as she embraced her boys. "We did it," she cheered. They nodded and then they went towards the city.

Once they arrived, Ryan and Carter were there. "RYAN! CARTER!" Dana shouted. Kimberly watched as Dana leaped into Carter's arms. Carter spun her around and buried his face in her wet hair. Kimberly shrieked as she ran over and jumped into Ryan's arms. Ryan smiled as he embraced Kimberly.

"The last stone was put in," Carter informed.

Kimberly pulled back and placed her hands on her sons' shoulders. "You guys know what to do," she commented. The Rangers nodded.

"LIGHTSPEED RESCUE!" They shouted.

Kimberly watched as her friends fought for the last time before running into the Skull Cavern. Kimberly took a deep breath. "Dad, keep an eye on them," she instructed. Then she ran inside.

"KIMBERLY, NO!" Captain Mitchell shouted.

"MOM COME BACK!" The boys shouted.

Kimberly ran inside not listening to them. She had to help them.

Carter looked over his shoulder when Kimberly ran in the room. "Kimberly? What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I came to help," she replied.

She then fought off some of the batlings, able to defend herself for the first time in three years. Ryan hurried over towards her. "Kimberly, up and over?" He asked. Kimberly smiled and placed her hand in his.

"You said it," she agreed.

Ryan leaned over and swung Kimberly over his back so she could kick a few batlings. At the same time, she grabbed Ryan's Titanium Blaster and shot some of the batlings down. She turned around and saw Carter being pulled into the coffin with Queen Bansheera. "CARTER!" She heard Dana scream. She could feel the fear and heartbreak from Dana and they ran over to the coffin.

"Close the lid," he insisted.

"If I go you're going with me," Queen Bansheera snapped.

Kimberly leaned over. "Carter, grab my hand," she insisted.

"I can't reach, Kimberly, close the lid," he insisted.

Kimberly watched as Dana ripped her helmet off with tears falling down her face. "Carter, don't you dare leave me here alone," she snapped. They watched as Diabolico appeared and helped them. Ryan threw down a rope and helped Carter back up. The lid was closed and Dana embraced Carter. "Don't scare me like that again," she whispered. Kimberly felt a twinge of jealousy. The thought of being with Tommy again came back into her mind. Just then, the Skull Cavern was about to fall apart.

"Let's get out of here," Ryan insisted.

Ryan grabbed Kimberly's hand and they ran out of the Skull Cavern.

Once they arrived, Kimberly embraced her sons and watched as the enemy's fortress fell apart. She placed her hands on their shoulders. "It's finally over," she whispered. They nodded and she smiled at them.

"MOMMY!" A voice called.

Kimberly smiled when she saw Kylie and Hannah running over towards them. She ran over to them and scooped Kylie up into her arms while hugging Hannah at the same time. Hunter and Blake hurried over and embraced their sisters. It was finally over.

That night, Kimberly was fast asleep when it happened again.

(Kimberly's Dream)

Kimberly looked at Tommy. "Sweetie, I don't have any friends," she laughed. Then she looked over at Kat and back at Tommy. "Oh and sweetie, pink is out," she added. Then she kicked Kat away.

(End Dream)

Kimberly sat up with a gasp. "Oh, no!" She gasped. More danger was coming again.
