Chapter 2: Kimberly's Weakness

Kimberly sighed as she sent Hannah and Kylie off to school. Kimberly sat down and looked up when Cole walked over to her. "Hey, how did you sleep?" She asked.

"I slept okay," he replied.

"Listen, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday, you know, when Taylor punched you like that," Kimberly apologized.

"Nah…don't worry about it."

Kimberly sighed as she got up and started to clean up Hannah and Kylie's mess. "Listen, Kim, Alyssa only told me a little bit about you. I think it would be better if you told me," Cole stated. Kimberly folded up Kylie's blanket and hid the picture of her and Tommy inside.

"It's a very long story," she answered.

"I've got the time," Cole assured her.

Kimberly sat down on a rock and Cole sat across from her. Kimberly told him from beginning to end about the attack and when she got her four children. "So, you haven't seen Kylie's father for six years?" He asked. Kimberly shook her head slowly.

"The last time I saw him, he was at a karate match and I saw him with another girl. He really believed that I wrote the letter," she replied.

Cole was over her words. "He truly hurt me that day, but a few years ago, I started to send him letters, telling him all about Kylie. I never got an answer back, never," Kimberly added. Cole placed a hand on her shoulder and Kimberly slowly stood up. "Don't do that," she insisted.

"Do what?" He asked.

"Don't pity me. I don't want pity," she replied.

"I wasn't pitying you."

"Yes, you were. I know what people are feeling. I have the gift of empathy I know what emotions you are feeling, every time you feel them. Right now, I know that you're pitying me. Don't pity me, I don't need it."

Kimberly walked away just as the other Rangers came to get Cole as they needed some help with an org that was attacking the city. Kimberly looked into the fountain and watched as the Rangers battled the org. At the same time, she wrapped her arms around herself. She watched as the monster started to grow. "Rangers, you have to call on your Wild Zords and combine them, that way you can defeat the org," Kimberly instructed.

"You've done this before, haven't you?" Cole asked.

"A few times," Kimberly replied.

Kimberly watched as the Wild Zords left the Animarium to help the Rangers.

(After the Zord Fight)

Kimberly was sitting in a field watching Hannah practicing her gymnastics. Kylie was working on her reading beside Kimberly when Cole walked up to her. "Kimberly," he called. Kimberly looked up at him. She smiled to see that the Rangers cleaned Cole up a bit.

"Wow! You clean up nice," she commented.

"Thanks," Cole answered.

Cole then led Kimberly to an isolated spot to talk. "Listen, Kim, I want to apologize to pity you like I did," he apologized. Kimberly placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Its okay, you didn't know," she answered.

Kimberly hugged him with a smile. "I have a feeling this is a start to a beautiful relationship," she commented. Cole chuckled as he hugged her.

"I have a feeling it is too," he agreed.

That night, Kimberly was asleep with Kylie beside her and Hannah was asleep a few feet from her. However, as Kimberly was sleeping, she was starting to see things that she never saw before.

(Kim's Dream)

Kimberly was walking through a dark passageway when she saw Jindrax and Toxica. "Our master has returned!" They cheered. Kimberly's heart stopped at their cheers of their Master returning. She entered a room and her eyes widened when she saw what they were talking about. An org stood there with his staff in hand.

"We'll destroy the Power Rangers and the Earth will be mine," he laughed.

She rolled her eyes at those words. "Oh please," she mumbled.

"Jindrax, Toxica," Master Org called.

Kimberly watched as Jindrax and Toxica bowed to Master Org. "I want you to find out how to defeat those Rangers. Especially their mentor, Kimberly Hart. She knows too much," he informed. Kimberly gasped when the two Duke Orgs laughed.

"We know her weakness, Master," Toxica answered.

"What is her weakness?" He asked.

"Her weaknesses are her two brats, she does have another weakness, we can see it in her eyes," Jindrax replied.

"Take care of her two brats first, then we'll destroy whatever weakness she has."

Kimberly covered her mouth in disbelief. "No…" she trailed off.

(End Dream)

"NO!" Kimberly screamed as she sat up. Cole was beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Kimberly, it's okay, it was just a dream," he assured her.

Kimberly shook her head. "It wasn't a dream, Cole. I saw him. I saw Master Org. I saw his plans," she rambled. Cole kneeled in front of her and grasped her shoulders.

"Kim, calm down before you strain yourself," he instructed.

Kimberly tried to calm down, but she looked around to see Hannah and Kylie staring at her. "Girls, until Master Org is destroyed. I don't want you two to leave this Animarium. When you go to school, take one of the Rangers with you," she instructed. Both of them nodded and then Kimberly led Cole away from her daughters to tell her what else she saw.

Cole looked at her confused once they were alone. "Cole…Master Org is planning to go after my girls to get to me. He's gong to try and kill them," she informed. Cole's eyes widened in shock and Kimberly was nearly in tears. "What am I going to do? I knew that taking this job was dangerous, but this Master Org seems to be more dangerous than the last two evil doers that I went up against," she explained. Cole once again placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Kimberly, while I still draw breath, nothing will happen to Hannah and Kylie. I promise," he vowed.

Tears fell down her face as Cole hugged her. "He won't touch your girls, I promise," he murmured. Kimberly cried against him not knowing what to do. Her daughters were in danger and she felt that it was her fault.
