Chapter 16: Surprises

Kimberly was in the park with Kylie while Hannah was at the library with some friends studying. "KIM! KIMBERLY!" A voice shouted. Kimberly looked over her shoulder and saw Cole running towards her.

"Cole, what's going on?" She asked.

"Kim, they found Dr. Adler, he's alive," he replied.

"What? You mean the Dr. Adler that was with your parents?"

"Yeah."

Kimberly picked Kylie up and had her sit on her hip. "We're heading towards the hospital, want to come?" He asked.

"Of course I will," she replied.

Kimberly took Kylie back to the Animarium first before heading towards the hospital with Cole.

As she drove to the hospital, Kimberly let out a sigh. "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 sighed again and they arrived at the hospital.

Kimberly stood in the hospital room with Cole and the other Rangers. She suddenly felt the sharp pain go through her head when she saw Dr. Adler. "Dr. Adler. It's me, Cole Evans, son of Richard and Elizabeth," he told Dr. Adler. The injured man nodded. "I need to know what happened to my parents," he added. Dr. Adler placed his hands on Cole's shoulders.

"You'll find out…son enough," Dr. Adler informed as he hugged Cole.

Kimberly then collapsed to the floor holding her head. "COLE! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Kimberly shouted. Dr. Adler, who was really Master Org, used his powers to wrap vines around Cole and then around Kimberly and the other Rangers. All Kimberly saw was darkness after that.

When Kimberly woke up, the pain was excruciating. She looked up and saw Cole waking up. "Cole!" She called. She fought against the vines while trying ignore the pain and for the fact she was getting weak again. She looked over at her friends to see them struggling against the vines as well. She watched as Dr. Adler turned into Master Org.

"Welcome, Rangers," he greeted.

Kimberly tried to back away as Master Org walked over to her. "Ah! The weakling former Ranger," he taunted. Cole stood up.

"Get away from her," he snapped.

Kimberly cried out in pain when she felt Master Org's anger increase in strength. She struggled to fight her curse of feeling anger. She listened to Master Org tell Cole that he was a friends with Cole's parents. "As time went on, I grew to love your mother and I knew that she felt the same. I was going to ask her to marry me, but your father already did. He stole the woman I truly loved. He stole my chance at a family. He even stole my chance at fame," he snapped. Kimberly was in disbelief.

"It can't be," she whispered.

"We went into the jungle when you were only an infant. Your mother found Master Org's seeds. I took them and when I knew that this was my chance to get my revenge, I ate the seeds," he added. Kimberly closed her eyes as she felt his anger start to increase. "I was able to kill your father first, but when I caught your mother, you were no longer with her. I killed your mother and I vowed to find you and destroy you," he explained. Kimberly watched as Cole fell to his knees, feeling the feelings of betrayal and sadness coming from him.

"After all this time, I've been searching for my parents. Only to find out they were betrayed, by a friend," he murmured.

"Your parents were foolish and they died foolish," Master Org laughed.

Kimberly shook her head. "COLE!" She shouted. She fought against the vines as hard as she could. "COLE! YOUR PARENTS DIED WITH HONORS! THEY DIED FOR YOU!" She shouted. Master Org glared at Kimberly.

"You, young missy, a woman who gave birth to a brat," he snapped.

Kimberly glared at him. "I'm honorable, just like Cole. I might be weak from the anger emotion, but I am and always will be Kimberly the first Pink Ranger," she snapped. Master Org aimed his staff at her.

"I don't think so," he snapped.

Cole stood up and pushed Master Org down before he could destroy Kimberly. She watched as Cole fought against the man that destroyed his parents. Merrick arrived in time and he freed them from their vines. Merrick quickly grabbed her before she could hit the ground. "Are you okay?" He asked. Kimberly nodded.

"Yeah," she replied.

Kimberly looked up as Alyssa ran over to Cole once he was able to defeat Master Org. She was able to stand and she ran over to him. "Cole, are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'll be okay," he replied.

Alyssa helped him stand and they started walking off. "You such a coward? Why won't you finish me off?" Master Org now Dr. Adler again asked. Cole turned and looked at him.

"Is that all you think about? Revenge?" Cole asked.

Kimberly placed a hand on Cole's shoulder. "Come on, Cole," she murmured. Cole nodded and he followed them out of the warehouse.

(Turtle Cove Cemetery)

Kimberly held Kylie's hand as Cole placed flowers on his parents' graves. "Mommy, what happened to Cole's mommy and daddy?" She asked. Kimberly sighed as she picked Kylie up.

"That mean Master Org was hurting Cole's parents very badly. The angels came down and took them to a better place," Kimberly replied.

Kylie placed her on Kimberly's shoulder and Kimberly kissed the top of her head.

(One Week Later)

Kimberly was walking around the city getting some things for Kylie and Hannah. As Kimberly was walking around the city. As Kimberly was walking around, she stalled. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped. "Tommy?" She asked. She swore that she saw the father of her child walk out of the park where the Rangers were working out at. She went to follow him, but she couldn't find him. "I swear I just saw him," she whispered.
