"Tommy are you alright?" Kat asked heading towards him.
"Stay away from him, Kitty Kat," Tammie snarled shooting electricity bolts through Kat's body. "Even up until now, you're still trying to steal him from my mother!"
Kat lay shocked, from the electricity and from Tammie's accusations.
"What-" Tommy began but Tammie ignored him.
"Scorpina," Tammie cried. "Take these three back to the dungeon."
Scorpina reluctantly backed away from fighting Aisha as Tammie took her place.
"Rocky, stay here with Aisha and Kat," Carl ordered. "Adam and I will go follow Scorpina!"
Rocky nodded as he ducked from Goldar's punch.
Adam performed a back flip, kicking the two putties before him and followed Carl out of the throne room.
Tammie kicked Aisha, sending her towards the wall. She, too, began to follow the two Rangers.
"Not so fast, princess," Rocky said as he flipped in front of Tammie. "I hate to do this to you Tammie."
Tammie shot electricity through him and sent him flying in the air.
"You Rangers talk too much," she said as she began to walk. But she felt herself being pulled back. She felt the wind get knocked out of her and fell to the ground. She looked up at the pink Ninjetti Ranger. Tammie performed a helicopter and Kat was soon down on the ground as well.
"Tammie," groaned Kat. "Please, forgive us for keeping your mother's death a secret."
Kat cried in pain as electricity was shot through her again.
"Hi-ya!" cried Aisha, jumping from behind Tammie and kicking her. "Girl, you need to stop doing this! Think of what your mother would say?"
"Who cares?" Tammie said getting. "She's dead."
"But her spirit is still around," Rocky cried.
"Don't listen to them Tammie!" Silas cried, beginning to fear that the truth will come out. He hated to admit it, but he was scared of being in the receiving end of Tammie's wrath. After seeing her in action, he knew that she was powerful. He descended the stairs.
"No, don't listen to him!" cried Kat. "He's trying to play with your mind. He's the one who lied to you!"
Lord Silas gave Kat a taste of his own power. This time the Pink Ninjetti Ranger remained on the ground, barely breathing.
"Kat!" cried Aisha.
"Aisha I could use some help here!" cried Rocky who was left alone with facing Goldar. Aisha looked from Kat to Rocky. She reluctantly went to aid Rocky.
……………………………………
"You're no match for me!" Scorpina exclaimed as Adam and Carl made their entrance into the dungeon.
"Well, we'll see about that!" cried Carl as he charged at Scorpina with kicks and punches. Adam went over to the three chained Rangers to see if they were okay.
"Get these chains off and then we'll be better," Jason said.
Adam fumbled around with Jason's chains and managed to get them off.
"Get Tommy and Damon, while I go help Carl," Jason said as he sprang up into action.
Adam did as he was told and freed Damon and Tommy. With five Rangers against one Scorpina, the Rangers easily triumphed. A cry suddenly pierced the air and the ground began to rumble.
"What was that?" asked Carl.
The three older Rangers looked at one another.
"Kimberly?" Tommy cried as he ran out of the dungeon.
"Wait, Tommy!" cried Jason as the other Rangers ran after him.
The Ranger guys all dashed to the throne room in time to see a burst of pink light fill the room. Rocky and Aisha were kneeling beside Kat, covering their ears and Lord Silas stood with a shocked look in front of the steps of his throne. Goldar was on the other side of the room with the same shocked expression and Tammie, Tammie was in the center of the room her eyes transfixed on the glowing pink figure in front of her.
"Kimberly," Tommy said in a whisper, tears brimming his eyes.
But Kimberly's attention was fixed on her daughter. Kimberly's eyes shone with tears, happy to see her daughter again, but sad to see her in such a bad state.
"Tammie," Kimberly said, floating towards her daughter.
"No, no, no," Tammie repeated to herself. "You're not real. This is a trick."
"No, sweetie, this is real. I've come to help you," Kimberly said, bringing out her transparent hand. Tammie only looked at it. "Tammie, I've come back to help you get through this."
"She's lying!" bellowed Silas. "They're trying to get you back on their side. And after that they'll leave you again!"
"No, we won't!" Aisha cried.
"We're here for you!" Rocky joined in.
"If you think we've left then why do you think we're here?" asked the black ninjetti Ranger.
Tammie looked from her master, to her mother and father, and to the other Rangers.
"I told you the truth about everything! I let you know about your mother!" Lord Silas cried.
"No he didn't," Kimberly protested. "He may have told you his side, but I can show you what really happened Tammie."
"What?" Tammie asked.
Without saying another word, Kimberly's transparent body collapsed entered Tammie's. Her eyes closed and then opened again, pink light emitting from them.
"Don't stand there!" Silas cried to Goldar. "Do something! Kill her before she returns!"
Goldar finally snapped out of his shocked state and advanced towards Tammie. But Adam, Rocky, Carl, and Aisha were quick to circle around Tammie. They fought and made sure to keep Goldar away from Tammie. Jason, Tommy, and Damon looked at one another and began to advance on Silas. But Silas called more Putties.
"I don't have time for you!" Silas told them. He was more concerned about what was going on with Tammie. He sent a blast of electricity to Tammie, but a force field seemed to surround her body. Suddenly, Silas felt someone send a kick to his stomach, making him fall on the steps.
"Come on, Silas," Tommy said. "I want a rematch."
Lord Silas only smirked and trip Tommy.
"Alright, white Ranger. I have your daughter this time, hopefully that'll be enough motivation for you."
………………………………………………
Tammie opened her eyes and saw that she was in a dark room. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.
"Speak with your mind," Kimberly's voice said as she appeared in front of Tammie. This time, Kimberly was in the flesh.
"Where are we?" wondered Tammie.
"We're in your mind. Now, I'm going to show you everything that you need to know." Kimberly made a move to hold her daughter's hand but Tammie pulled away.
"How do I know if you're lying or not?"
"Simple," Kimberly said, prepared with an answer. "Even if you were a baby when all of the events I'm about to show you happened, you will still have some recollection of certain things."
With that, Kimberly held up her hand and pink light transferred from her hand to the dark walls. Tammie watched as the walls served as a viewing screen and showed a younger Kimberly and Tommy holding a little baby, which she assumed to be her.
The first flashback that Tammie saw was when she was first born. Then it flashed to when her aunts and uncles first met her.
"We headed back to Angel Grove," Kimberly began to explain to her. "because that was where most of your aunts and uncles were."
The scene faded and another scene appeared. This time the younger Kimberly was holding Tammie the baby and crying.
FLASH BACK
"I'll be back for you sweetie," Kimberly told her baby. "But for now, you'll be staying with your Grandparents okay? Daddy and I have to deal with certain things, things that you won't understand, but maybe when you grow older we'll be able to tell you."
Kimberly put the sleeping baby in her crib just as Tommy appeared beside his wife. He put his arms around him and Kimberly began to sob.
"Shh, it'll be okay," Tommy told her, caressing her hair.
"I know," Kimberly said. "But we're parents now Tommy, it's not the same. What if something happens? What's going to happen to our little girl?"
"As cliché as this might sound, but the world needs us," Tommy said.
END FLASH BACK
"So he thought the world was more important than me?" Tammie thought, forgetting that Kimberly was able to hear her thoughts.
"Your father took his Ranger duties seriously," Kimberly explained, sensing Tammie's anger coming back. "Here is what you need to see."
The walls went black and then showed scenes from Kimberly's memories.
FLASH BACK
"My, my," he said, descending from his throne. "I have finally have completed my collection of Power Rangers."
"What do you want Silas?" asked Jason.
"I want what all of your past enemies wanted, your powers, your destruction, and of course, Earth."
"Well, that'll never happen!" yelled TJ, dressed in the Red Turbo Ranger outfit.
"Stupid imbecile! I already have all the Rangers captured. Who else is left to save you?"
…………
"I am Lord Silas, the one who is feared by the ones who you, the Power Rangers, fear. I do not think that you would like to feel my wrath," he threatened.
"Try us," Tommy said menacingly.
-- Tammie watched the fight scene, more interested in seeing her mother in action. Then she saw Silas zapping chains onto Kimberly.--
"I think more motivation is called for," Lord Silas said as he drew back his sword and plunged it into Kimberly's stomach.
END FLASH BACK
Tammie felt sick to her stomach and sunk on her knees. A whirlwind of emotions just filled her head. She felt disgusted with the way she acted the past few days. And she felt even worse when she realized that she chose to believe the guy who killed her mother rather than her own father. The walls and Kimberly began to fade from Tammie's vision.
"Tammie!" Damon cried, seeing Tammie collapse to the ground. He made his way to her and reached out to touch her. But the force field sent electricity shocks up to his body and caused him to fly back. Everyone turned to see what happened, including Tommy. Silas took this opportunity to strike Tommy at the back of his head. Tommy fell to the ground, knocked out. Lord Silas made his way towards Tammie, zapping all of the Rangers that stood in his way.
The Rangers, all helpless, watched as Lord Silas raised his sword and plunged it into her stomach, the same way he did to Kimberly.
"No!" cried Damon.
