Chapter 15: Return of Old Friends Part II

(Last time on Heart of a Mentor)

Wes and Eric have returned to help the Wild Force Rangers battle mutorgs. Now that this new evil from the year 3001 is around and teamed up with Master Org, will they be able to defeat them?

(Now Conclusion)

Kimberly sat down and rubbed the back of her neck. Cole walked over and placed his hands on her shoulders. She placed a hand over his and let out a sigh. Kylie walked over and sat in her lap. "Mommy, are you okay?" She asked. Kimberly stroked her daughter's hair with a smile.

"I'll be okay, baby," Kimberly replied.

Kimberly then stood up, picked Kylie up from the ground, and walked over to the monitor. It was Circuit. "Hi guys, Captain Logan's sending us back in a time ship. Reinforcements are on the way," Circuit informed. Kimberly kissed Kylie's forehead and looked over at her friends to see that they were thrilled that help was coming.

They stood on the beach, waiting for the time ship to arrive. When it did finally land, Kimberly laughed as her friends came running out of the ship. "Mama?" Kylie asked. Kimberly nodded and watched as Kylie ran as fast as she could towards the Time Force Rangers. The Wild Force Rangers watched as their mentor greeted her old team. Lucas stood there when Kimberly stood in front of him.

"Hi, Kim," he greeted.

"Hi, Lucas," she answered.

Lucas then hugged her and she hugged him back, the awkwardness left and she was filled with happiness again. She looked over Lucas's shoulder to see Ransik and Nadira. "Ransik!" Jen hissed. Trip quickly grabbed Jen's arm.

"Easy, Jen. Ransik and Nadira are here to help us," Trip informed.

Kimberly quickly picked Kylie up and stepped back, just incase. As Ransik was explaining to Jen that he was there to help and that he wanted to try and start over. She felt that Ransik was being true to his word and she knew that Cole knew it too. Cole placed a hand on Jen's shoulder. "He's telling you the truth. His words come from his heart," he informed. Jen nodded.

"Alright, we'll listen to what he has to say," Jen answered.

Kylie looked at Ransik and Nadira with a smile. Nadira smiled at Kylie and walked over to them. "Hi, I see you're not scared of me," she commented. Kylie smield as she placed a hand on Nadira's shoulder.

"You're good now, right?" Kylie asked.

Nadira nodded. "Yeah, yeah I am," she replied. Kylie smiled.

"My name's Kylie," Kylie told Nadira.

Kimberly and Nadira smiled at Kylie. "I'm Nadira," she answered. Kimberly kissed the side of Kylie's head.

"We should get back to the Animarium," Kimberly pointed out.

Nadira nodded and they went to the Animarium.

(On the Animarium)

After Ransik told them how he was the one that brought the mutorgs to life, Ransik stood up from his spot and walked over to Kimberly. "I want to apologize to you too, Kimberly," he told her. Kimberly looked up at him.

"For what?" She asked.

"I've done some horrible things to you and for that I am sorry," he apologized.

Kimberly stood up. "Jen's right. We can't change the past, but we can work for a better future," she answered. Ransik watched as Kimberly led Kylie over to her bed.

"The girl's father. Have you found him yet?" He asked.

Kimberly stopped and looked at him. "No, we haven't found him. Every time we think we've found him, he disappears again. Whenever one of our friends try to contact him, he won't answer them," she replied. Ransik nodded.

"Have faith, Kimberly. Keep your children close," he advised.

Kimberly nodded. "I will," she answered. She walked off to get Kylie to bed.

Once Kylie and Hannah were fast asleep, Kimberly decided to check on her friends. She saw that Lucas, Katie, Trip, and Circuit were asleep. Wes and Jen were cuddling up on the floor with smiles on their faces. She watched as Taylor walked over to Eric, who was cleaning his Quantum Defender. "Always working?" Taylor asked.

"Yep," Eric replied.

"Can I see that?" Taylor asked.

Kimberly leaned against the wall, watching the Quantum Ranger and the Yellow Ranger start to bond a bit. "Yeah, sure," Eric replied. Taylor sat next to Eric. "This isn't your standard Silver Guardian weapon. This is one of a kind, the Quantum Defender," he informed. She smiled at her two friends. It wasn't just the fact they were bonding, it was the fact she was feeling attraction between them. "Hey, be careful with that, that's not a toy," Eric told Taylor.

"Hey, I was in the Air Force. I can probably teach you a few things about this," Taylor commented.

Kimberly then walked off towards her bed. She pulled Kylie into her arms as she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, it was time for the two teams to defeat the mutorgs once and for all. Kimberly kneeled in front of Kylie. "You be good for Hannah and Princess Shayla, okay?" She asked. Kylie nodded and Kimberly kissed Kylie's forehead. Hannah nodded to Kimberly and watched as her mother went off with the other Rangers.

When they arrived at the plant, they split up into groups. Kimberly went with Wes, Cole, Ransik, and Nadira. They were walking around the plant when they heard Nadira scream. They looked over and saw a mutorg attack her. "NADIRA!" Ransik shouted. Ransik attacked the mutorgs. Kimberly was trying to fight off the mutorgs with Wes and Cole. However, the mutorg she was fighting grabbed her arm, picked her up from the ground and threw her across the plant, but Cole was able to grab her, making them both hit the ground.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah," Kimberly replied.

The mutorgs was going to use their greatest power to try and destroy them. They started running, until they noticed that Ransik wasn't following them. "Ransik?" Wes asked.

"I created these monsters. Now it's up to me to fix my mistake," Ransik answered.

He then charged at them. "NO!" Nadira screamed.

"RANSIK DON'T DO IT!" Kimberly shouted.

Ransik then grabbed onto the mutorgs and Kimberly noticed that his mask started to glow. "GO! GET OUF OF HERE NADIRA!" Ransik shouted. Cole then grabbed Kimberly's arm and they ran from the blast. They looked over once the blast died down and saw Ransik fall to the ground. "DAD!" Nadira shouted. She ran over to Ransik and placed his head in her lap. "Daddy!" She gasped. Kimberly, Wes, and Cole kneeled beside him.

"Hang in there, Ransik," Cole insisted.

"Rangers, I destroy their mutant halves. You can finish them. Go…GO!"

Kimberly stood up and looked at Nadira. "He'll be okay," she assured her. Nadira and Kimberly ran after Wes and Cole.

They stood in front of the mutorgs. "STOP!" Merrick shouted. Kimberly smiled to see that Merrick was there to help them.

"Ready?" Wes asked.

The Time Force Rangers held up their morphers. "TIME FOR TIME FORCE!" They shouted.

"Ready?" Cole asked.

The Wild Force Rangers held up their morphers and nodded to Cole. "WILD ACCESS!" They shouted. Kimberly looked over at Eric and Merrick.

"WILD ACCESS!" Merrick shouted.

"QUANTUM POWER!" Eric shouted.

The Rangers stood in a line. "BLAZING LION!" Cole shouted.

"NOBLE TIGER!" Alyssa shouted.

"IRON BISON!" Danny shouted.

"SURGING SHARK!" Max shouted.

"SOARING EAGLE!" Taylor shouted.

"HOWLING WOLF!" Merrick shouted.

"POWER RANGERS WILD FORCE!" They shouted.

"TIME FORCE RED!" Wes shouted.

"TIME FORCE YELLOW!" Katie shouted.

"TIME FORCE BLUE!" Lucas shouted.
"TIME FORCE GREEN!" Trip shouted.
"TIME FORCE PINK!" Jen shouted.

"QUANTUM RANGER!" Eric shouted.

"POWR RANGERS TIME FORCE!" They shouted in unison.

"POWER RANGERS UNITE!" Cole and Wes shouted in unison.

Kimberly then went with Alyssa and Jen. "Hey, Kim. Time to fly," Jen informed. Kimberly nodded. The two Rangers put their hands together. Kimberly ran, jump onto their hands, jumped into the air, and kicked the now org in the stomach. "You're up, Alyssa," Jen added. She then boosted Alyssa up into the air.

Once they got the orgs together, Cole, Wes, and Eric got into their battle armor. "Your time's up," Wes told them. Jen handed Kimberly a blaster.

"Thought to let you in on the rest of the action," she commented.

Kimberly nodded. "CHRONO BLASTERS!" The Time Force Rangers shouted.

"CRYSTAL SABERS!" The Wild Force Rangers shouted.

The orgs were defeated and the Rangers ran back to Ransik. To their surprise, he was fully human.

They came back to the Animarium and had a big picnic. After the food was gone, Kimberly walked around with Kylie to see what their friends were up to. Kimberly smiled to see that Lucas had found someone else to be with in his own time, Nadira. She walked past Eric and Taylor to see that they were now flirting openly and laughed as Taylor chased Eric to get her book back. Katie had won yet another arm wrestling match. Kimberly stopped next to Jen. She picked Kylie up and watched as the two Red Rangers ran across the field in a race. "It's going to be hard to say goodbye again," Kimberly commented. Jen looked over at her friends.

"To say goodbye to them, yes. I'm not going back to the year 3001," Jen informed.

Kimberly looked at Jen with a smile. She hugged Jen with her free arm. Jen then walked over to Wes to tell him the news and watched as Wes picked Jen up and spun her around. Kimberly nodded. She knew that Jen was going to be very happy.

"Cole, we don't know if your parents are still alive. I have a real bad feeling about him," Kimberly informed. Cole looked at her.

"I want to know what happened to my parents, Kim," he told her.

Kimberly was walking around the city and she stalled. "Tommy?"
