I seem to always say I'm sorry that this chapter took so long. I've had a lot going on and some major writers block going for me but here is the new chapter and I hope to have another one up soon. I seem to be on a roll. Now to thank people.
Starlight63- Hi thanks for reading I'm so glad you like.
IsabellaPaige- Thank you for sticking with me through out the long pause inbetween chapters. It means a lot to me that you are still with me on this one.
Eaglesgirl- The Tribe is on WAM all through out the weekends and is on twice Sunday on Movieplex. I'm not sure about the times. But if you go to you can get the complete first and I do believe second season of the tribe. It doesn't have many of the people from the tribe on it that are mainly in this story but it does have a few. You can also go to to get the full cast list and episode guide. Thanks for reading hope to hear from you again.
James Eric Oliver- I don't think I thanked you in my last post to reviewers but thank you it means a great deal to me when people let me know that they like my stories.
Lady Silverstar2- Hey how have you been? Long time no type. I'm glad you like I'm trying to stay true to the Tribe but I haven't seen it in so long that it's kinda getting hard. I still need to finish my tribe stories, but I've given up on the Tribe BB no one is on it that I know anymore. :(
texsPanzer- Thanks for the review sorry I've been out of contact for so long I'm out of the country and barely have time to breath. I'm glad you are enjoying the story.
rosa lunae- Thank you I love getting reviews like yours. Although I don't think I'm that funny with my story atleast no tells me I am, but I'm glad you get my humor. I want to make people laugh out loud at parts, but no ever tells me if they do. Thanks for reading I'm sure that was a lot to read.
Cranelove- I'm sorry it has taken me so long I'm currently out of the country on business and it is very hard to find time to write and update. I have a weeks vacation. So I'm hoping to write a few chapters and have a friend post them for me. Thank you for reading if there is anything you don't understand please feel free to email me and I'll answer any questions you might have as best as I can.
mj08- I've already emailed you and I hoped it helped. Thanks again for reading.
He wasn't after me. Kimberly whispered into his ear.
Tommy said pushing back from Kimberly so he could look her in the eyes.
Wait, Tommy I'll tell you everything but just not here. She said softly nodding towards the crowd of reports that started to look their way.
Okay you go in first then I'll follow.Why? They don't know who you are unless they found out. They did, didn't they? That's who all the calls were from that one day. I'm right aren't I? Kimberly said while trying to keep a low voice and failing at it.
Tommy nodded as Kimberly got up. The anger clear in her eyes, as she walked back to the stairway that she had existed from. A security guard was standing there now Kimberly noted, but on a second look it wasn't a security guard it was a very unhappy Jason.
Kimberly said as she approached him.
Kimberly? You changed! Wait, let me guess this is part of your... well you know what. Jason said as he twirled his hand in front of her so she would get his meaning.
Kimberly just nodded as she tried to hide her laughter, that was the last thing she needed to do with Jason in the kind of mood.
Where's Tommy? He asked his voice once again calm and level a clear sign that he was mad.
Kimberly jerked her thumb behind her.
I'll wait for him out here. You get inside and wait just on the inside of the door. It locks from the inside with no key pad for you to control. How you two thought you were going to get back in without going in front of all those reporters is beyond me. Jason said as he ushered Kimberly into the door.
I have my ways. Kimberly said lightly.
Jason watched as she transformed to her old self... or maybe he should say new self it confused him either way he thought about it. He knew that the reports wouldn't realize it was her from a distances but if they had gotten a good look at her it would have been all over and no one would have been the wiser until it was to late to pull her out there. Jason fought the urge to roll his eyes, as he saw Tommy walking sheepishly towards him with his hands in his pockets. Jason watched him and thought back on the Kimberly he use to know.
How was she going to pull this off. She didn't like attention... well she didn't like attention from the press. Even in Angel Grove when reporters would surround them after defeating the putties or the other big bads that they handled in uniform and as civilians, Kimberly would stay to the back. Then when the Mayor gave them all acknowledgments for their services to Angel Grove once again both in and out of uniform she had stayed in the background. Kimberly had kept quiet when she was in her suit while the press was getting pictures of the famous Power Rangers.
When the Mayor again awarded them with the Humanitarian of Angels award for bravery in the face of danger, Kimberly had just said anyone else in their shoes would have done the same thing or something like that. Jason knew she was feeling guilty for accepting the award they all did. The only reason they got it was because they were fighting a two headed snake/monkey monster without their powers, and that was only because of the fact that there were reports around covering the fight and they couldn't find a way to get out of sight and morph.
With all of Jason's knowledge about Kimberly and her feelings about reporters, he couldn't figure out for the life of him why she was doing this. Why would she choose a job that kept her in the limelight. Although with everything going on that seemed to be the least of their problems. Kimberly has been dealing with it for a few years so she should be fine... right?
Look, bro sorry for worrying you. I just needed sometime to clear my head and to make sure whoever did this wasn't waiting around for Kimberly to be alone. I just found her out here only a few minutes ago. I don't think anyone recognized her.Jason, come on now don't give me that look. This is Kimberly we are talking about. You said it yourself not more than a day ago. She can take care of herself' remember?Why is it, that you only say that when it's someone else being over protective of her. Yet when it's you going off the deep end, your ready to rip off anyone's head for merely implying that she can take care of herself. Jason asked with a sly smile on his face.
Perks of being the leader, I guess. Tommy shrugged.
Okay leader man you first go in first then. Jason laughed and patted him on the back as they entered the hospital once again.
Meanwhile
... Just as she appeared through the portal again she had the sword. Then that's when she called upon her warrior form. It was completely her choice, there was no immediate danger or any incantation that she called upon to transform her. Zhane explained to a cold metal room.
I think it's time, and so does Kim, if that's way she sent us here. Unless you know something that we don't? Andros said as four figures appeared in front of him and Zhane.
I believe that was Kimberly's intention. She no longer makes a move unless it's carefully planned out. A higher pinched voice said, as he pressed a few buttons on a control panel that was by him.
Agreed, but should it not be Kimberly here asking us instead of you? One of the figures said her soft voice floating around the cold metal room.
She has more important things to deal with.Like what? One of the smaller figures asked as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
I have yet to inform them of Kimberly's current situation. I will do so shortly. However to get back to the matter at hand. I trust Kimberly's judgment like I always have, and will do as she has asked, under one condition I want her to bring Tommy to me. a loud masculine voice boomed.
She won't be happy about that, but I'm sure she'll bring him to you. Andros nodded and in two lights the two men left the four figures.
The two landed in Kimberly's living room. The house was still empty, thankfully the two thought.
Tommy is going to be completely blind sided by this. I mean if it was one of us doing it he might not be so shocked, but coming from Kimberly...Yeah the last person he would suspected is Kimberly. Though I think that is going to work to our advantage. Andros said to Zhane.
Back at the Hospital
I think I have talked to every reporter and got told to bug off, they were here first' by all of them Aisha said
I have been listening to them and so far they have nothing more than we do. Rocky said as he crossed his arms in front of him, while leaning against a tree.
The three of them stood far away from the crowd of reporter that reminded them of hawks waiting for their prey.
Hey guys, any news? TJ asked as he came up to the trio.
No, but one of the reporters said he thinks it might be a publicity stunt or Beth Allen finally had enough of Kimberly and hired someone to scare her away. Zack said.
Then they don't know our Kimberly. Adam said as he and Billy joined them
Where is the rest of your group TJ? Billy asked
I sent them to go and get some food Cassie is hanging back somewhere around here just incase.Look who I found. Cassie said as she approached the now growing group with Jason right beside her.
Hey, Jason what's going on no one seems to know anything. Zack said.
Thank god. Guys the girl that was attacked is Kat. Jason broke the news quickly.
Whoa. How is Kim and Tommy taking it? Billy asked.
Well Tommy scared the hell out of a candy striper for saying Kimberly is hot, and Kimberly... Well she did something to Kat... Jason trailed off trying his best to describe what she could have done to her.
Even though in all reality he couldn't figure out what she did to her, why or how.
came the response from all the rangers that were present.
Meanwhile
I found it! Zhane exclaimed while holding an old book.
Andros waited for Zhane to continue. Zhane just kept reading the book, and flipping from one page and back to the other.
Well, what is it? Andros asked getting annoyed that Zhane didn't just come out and say what he had found.
Oh sorry... According to this it looks like Kim just reach ultimate power. The sword that she got off of Zurgane is the sword of Altar. It says here only the true ruler of Altar will be able to call upon it at will.So if Kimberly's able to call on it again. Then it means the prophecy is starting to be fulfilled. Andros said mostly to himself.
Meanwhile
Kimberly where are we going this isn't the way home? Tommy asked.
Kimberly had turned off the freeway and was now heading towards the business district of Reefside.
I promised a friend I would be at the grand opening of her cafe. Plus she probably saw what happened on the news. She's a major information junkie. I want to let her know I'm okay.Okay but we have to make it quick. I want to get you home with the others till we figure out what to do.Tommy this guy is human. You know as well as I do humans are hard to figure out let alone guess what they are doing and why. I don't think we'll ever figure out what this guy wants until he is caught or... Kimberly broke off she didn't want to thing about the or.
She didn't have to Tommy was going to say it even if neither one of them wanted to hear it.
Or until he gets what he wants. Which is more than likely you. Kimberly I promise I'll protect you till the very end. Jason, me and the other rangers won't let him lay a hand on you a promise. Tommy said as he put his hand over Kimberly's which was on the gear shift.
Tommy... I... We're here. Kimberly wanted to say so much more but she just didn't know how to say it without hurting him.
He couldn't guarantee that this guy wasn't going to hurt her again or even touch her again, but she wasn't going to let Tommy feel that guilt right now. If he need to think that way then so be it. Kimberly knew he would try his best but somewhere deep inside her told her in the end it wouldn't matter. This guy was going to get her one way or another. She just didn't know if you would be able to walk away from it with Tommy or not.
