Chapter 19: Future Disaster Part I: Kim's Heartache
A few days ago after another fight, Alex had sent them a transmission telling them that they weren't going to survive the final fight against Ransik. Alex was going to send the Rangers a time ship to bring them back to the year 3000, but Kimberly knew that her friends didn't want to go. For the time being, Kimberly had the girls stay in the clock tower and she also was going to stay in the clock tower, just for their safety.
However, one day, Kimberly couldn't handle the thought of her daughters putting themselves in danger. Wes watched as Kimberly walked over and picked the phone up and dialed. "Hello?" Carter answered. Kimberly tried her best not to cry as she spoke to Carter.
"Carter, it's me," Kimberly informed.
"Kim, you sound like you've been crying. What's going on?" He asked.
"I need your help."
"What is it?"
"I need you to take Hannah and Kylie to Mariner Bay. They're in danger here and if something happen to them, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
"Understood, Kim, what's going on that you're sending your daughters here that their lives are in danger?"
"We were told that in our last fight, we're all going to die."
"Look, Dana and I will come over and you can tell us then."
"Thank you."
She hung up and wiped her tears away.
When Carter and Dana arrived, Kimberly had them sit by the café near the mall. "Kim, what's going on?" Dana asked.
"Someone sent us a transmission, telling us of our future. He said that in this last fight that we are all going to die. I want you to take Hannah and Kylie back to your house in Mariner Bay and wait for me. You'll know if I didn't survive," Kimberly explained.
Dana looked at her husband in fear and Carter sighed. "Please, Carter, I need you to take my daughters to safety, please," she almost begged. Carter looked at his wife and grabbed Kimberly's hand.
"All right, we'll take them," he answered
Kimberly stood up at the same time they did and Dana hugged her tight. Tears were falling down the girls' faces knowing that if what Alex said was true, then Kimberly was going to die in battle. Carter then hugged both girls and let out a sigh. "Be careful, Kim, please just be careful," he insisted. Kimberly nodded and wiped her tears away.
That afternoon, Carter put the girls' things into the truck and Kimberly picked Kylie up. "Mommy, why don't you come with us?" Kylie asked.
"Oh munchkin, I would, but my place is here. Listen to me, sweetie. I love you and your sister more than anything in this whole wide world," she replied.
Kimberly embraced both of her girls and they were all crying. "Hannah, Kylie," Carter called. Kimberly kissed the side of her daughters' heads before handing Kylie over to Dana. Dana placed Kylie into the truck before going up to Kimberly. Kimberly hugged Dana tight with tears falling down her face.
"Just be careful, Kim," Dana murmured.
"I'll try," Kimberly answered.
Dana stepped back and got into the truck before Kimberly hugged Carter tight. Carter hugged her back and kissed the side of her head. "Goodbye, Carter," she murmured.
"Don't you tell me goodbye, Kimberly," Carter ordered.
Kimberly looked at him and slowly nodded her head before turning and leaving. Carter then turned and got back into the truck. Then he drove his family back to Mariner Bay.
Kimberly sighed as she was sitting by Lucas by the lake. "Lucas, I want you to go back to the year 3000," she informed. Lucas looked at her confused.
"What? Why?" He asked.
"I don't want you to die here, Lucas. It isn't fair to you. Even this relationship isn't fair to you."
Lucas looked shocked at her words. "What are you saying?" He asked. Kimberly let his hand go and stood up.
"Lucas…I'm saying goodbye. I can't do this anymore. I can't keep a relationship with you, because I'm still in love with Tommy. He's the father of my daughter. He made my life complete. We had something special and even though you make me so happy, I feel like I'm betraying Tommy and you," she explained.
Tears started to fall down her face. "Even if we did survive, you'd be going back home and then what would you do, Lucas? You can't wait for a future that's never going to happen," she added. Lucas sighed as the truth finally hit him. "Were you really planning on giving up your home and staying here with me? Even though you know what's supposed to happen in my future," she stated. Lucas sighed as he stood up.
"You're right. It was nothing but a dream," he agreed.
He looked at Kimberly with a sad smile. "You are one special girl Kimberly Hart," he commented. She walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Even if we aren't "together" anymore. I still want to be your friend, like we were before this relationship happened," she told him.
Lucas nodded and he hugged her. Kimberly hugged him back and let out a sad sigh. "Please, Lucas, please go back while you still can," she whispered.
"I'm staying, Kimberly," he insisted.
Kimberly sighed and then she pulled back. "I better go, I have a fight to win," he informed. Kimberly wrapped her arms around herself and lowered her head as Lucas walked away.
When Kimberly went back to the clock tower, she saw Wes sitting alone on his bed. "Wes, are you okay?" She asked. Wes looked up at her and shook his head. She sat down next to him.
"I want them to go back, Kimberly, they have to go back," he replied.
"How do we send them back?" She asked.
"I have an idea."
Kimberly nodded and listened to his plan.
(After their Defeat)
Kimberly came into the time ship with the rest of the Rangers and played with her hands while Wes was programming the computer. "Kimberly, what is he doing?" Lucas asked.
"I have no idea," Kimberly replied.
Wes then turned to Kimberly. "GO!" He shouted. Kimberly ran through the door and she watched as Wes closed the door behind him. Wes then grabbed her hand and they ran out of the time ship.
Kimberly sat the heartbroken look on Jen's face as the time ship went to take off. "Wes…wait I have to tell you something," Jen told him. Kimberly looked at Wes as he watched the time ship take off with their friends inside.
"What now, Wes?" She asked.
"We defeat Ransik," he replied.
