Chapter 4: Captured Part I: Lucas's Promise

Kimberly sighed as she woke up, she smiled to see Kylie fast asleep next to her. She smiled at her baby girl and touched her face. "You look like your father when you sleep," she whispered. She kissed the side of her daughter's head before getting out of bed.

She walked down the stairs to find Hunter, Blake, and Hannah already up. "Hey you guys, what are you doing up?" She asked.

"Mom, it's 9:30," Hunter replied.

Kimberly smiled as she went to get some coffee. "Boys, what do you two plan on doing today?" She asked.

"Uh, Blake and I are gonna hang out at the racetrack," Hunter replied.

Kimberly sighed. "What got you two interested in racing?" She asked.

"That new Blue Ranger, Lucas. He's an awesome racecar driver in the year 3000," Blake replied.

Kimberly smiled as she sat up on the counter looking at her kids. She was glad to see that they were so interested in racing. She wanted her children to have a life outside of watching their mom being a Power Ranger mentor. "And you, Hannah?" She asked.

"I'm going to hang out with Brooke today at the mall," Hannah replied.

Kimberly nodded and leaned back against the cupboards. "What about you, mom?" Hunter asked.

"I'm taking Kylie to the park today," she replied.

"The park?" Kylie asked.

Kimberly smiled at her daughter. "That's right sweet heart, we're going to the park today," she replied. Kylie laughed as she ran over and hugged Kimberly. "You guys have fun today," Kimberly told them. They nodded and then Kimberly sent Kylie upstairs to change while she went upstairs herself to get changed.

When Kimberly came out of her bedroom, she was wearing sneakers, blue jeans, a pink t-shirt, and her hair was pulled back in a half-ponytail. She smiled as Kylie came out.

Kylie was wearing white tie-up shoes, a white flowered dress, and her hair was tied back in a pink ribbon.

"Are you ready to go sweetie?" She asked. Kylie nodded and then they went off to the park.

(Ransik's Lair)

Nadira came in to see her father working a plan. "Daddy, if you want to defeat the Rangers, how about you hit them where it hurts?" Nadira asked. Ransik grinned evilly.

"What did you have in mind, Nadira?" He asked.

"Take their mentor, daddy, they're vulnerable without her," Nadira replied.

"Good idea," Ransik agreed.

He kissed his daughter's cheek with a grin.

(Silver Hills's Park)

Kimberly smiled as she played with her daughter. "Mommy, tell me about daddy," she insisted. Kimberly sighed as she sat Kylie down on the grass. Kylie's favorite story in the whole world.

"Do you want me to tell it over ice cream?" Kimberly asked.

"Yeah! Ice cream," Kylie replied.

Kimberly laughed as she kissed her daughter's cheek. "Stay right here. No talking to strangers," she instructed. Kylie nodded and sat under a tree as Kimberly went to buy ice cream.

Lucas was driving by the park when he saw Kimberly and Kylie. However, his eyes were really drawn to Kimberly. Ever since he met her, he was drawn to her. "Am I crazy? She's my mentor and at least a few years older than me," he mumbled. He closed his eyes with a sigh. Even though Kimberly was three years older than him, he already had feelings that he know he shouldn't be having. "I have only known her for a couple of months. I must be going out of my mind," he told himself.

"MOMMY!" Kylie screamed.

Lucas opened his eyes when he saw Ransik trying to grab Kimberly only to see her fighting back as hard as she could.

Kimberly did a back flip to get away from Ransik. "Get away from me," she snapped. Ransik laughed and looked up as cyclobots grabbed Kylie.

"MOMMY!" She screamed.

"Kylie!" Kimberly gasped.

She looked over at Ransik. "You monster, let her go. She's only a child," she snapped.

"Surrender, and I'll let the brat go," he replied.

Lucas ran over and freed Kylie from the cyclobots. "Lucas!" Kimberly gasped. Ransik grabbed Kimberly from behind and held one of his blades up to her throat.

"Give it up, Blue Ranger," Ransik snapped.

"Lucas, just get Kylie and get her out of here," she insisted.

"Listen to your mentor," Ransik laughed.

Just then they disappeared and Kylie was sitting on the ground crying. Lucas ran over to her. "Kylie, are you okay?" He asked.

"That mean mom took my mommy," she sobbed.

Lucas nodded and picked Kylie up. "We'll go talk to Jen and the others," he told her. Then he ran to the car and went back to the clock tower.

Lucas came in with a sobbing Kylie. "Ransik has Kimberly," he informed. Jen stood up in shock as Lucas took Kylie up to the loft. Lucas placed Kylie on his blanket.

"Is my mommy going to be okay?" She asked.

Lucas sat next to her and sighed. "Your mommy's going to be just fine. I'm going to contact your brothers and sister and they're going to come and take you home," he told her. Kylie shook her head.

"No, I don't like being without my mommy," she sobbed.

Lucas sighed as she buried her head in his lap. "I promise you, Kylie, I'm going to get your mom back," he assured her. Kylie cried herself to sleep on him and Lucas watched as Hunter, Blake, and Hannah came in. Until Kimberly was home safely with her children, they have to take care of the Hart children.
