Tommy glanced at his teammates, grateful that Kat had decided to head back to Angel Grove where she was staying with her parents while her divorce was finalized, this was no place for anyone without powers. Even if his theory was correct, there was still the fact that Morgana would attack as if there was no flaw in her plan. She would use as much power as possible and then run out.
Frank glanced at him, and then at Morgana who was now bringing the goblet to her lips, he crouched low, ready to launch himself at her, when Tommy grabbed him by the shoulder shaking his head, "Don't, trust me, I've studied magic long enough to know that you have to be very specific with magic."
"What?" Frank asked giving Tommy a confused look as Morgana drained the cup, "I could have stopped her."
"I know what I'm doing," Tommy insisted as there was a blaze of light as Morgana left Kimberly's body in a glowing light, "Shields up everybody."
The team rose their shields just in time to block a blast that knocked them back a full foot, leaving large scars in the grass.
Sara glanced at Mason's shield, then glanced over to Mark, both their shields had large cracks in them, Sara glanced at her own, it too was cracked, "One more blast like that, and we're done for."
"There's only one of her and nine of us," Tommy called out.
"There's only eight of us," Ms. Johnson pointed out, "Mark's mother left, remember?"
"Right, right, she hasn't shown up yet," Tommy said, "We'll just have to tire her out, she won't last long without a host."
"She drank from the cup though," Mark pointed out.
"Oh, stop talking and scatter," Frank snapped, "If we stay in a large group she can blast us again."
Frank rolled out of the way of a blast before blasting Morgana himself. Morgana turned to him, only to have a blast hit her on the side, why wasn't her shield working? It should have blocked blasts from their weapons. She whirled around, firing a spell at the blue ranger, who quickly raised her shield to block it.
Melody kept her head down as she focused on keeping her shield up, she could hear the cracks deepening before there was a sudden flash of blue and she was thrown to the ground. She quickly rolled back onto her feet, jumping up, before looking around, the others were still fighting. She glanced at her arm to see the remains of the strap of her shield dangling from the grass-stained school uniform, she had demorphed completely, her powers were completely gone.
There was another blast, and Melody grabbed hold of Mason as he flipped past her, demorphed. "You okay there, Mason?" she asked.
"Yeah, but how are we going to defeat Morgana if she keeps destroying our shields?" Mason asked as J.T. stumbled into them demorphed.
"I don't think that's going to be a problem," Tommy announced, limping slightly as he approached his nephew and his friend, "Look her blasts are already getting weaker and weaker."
Melody, Mason, and J.T. watched as Ms. Johnson got blasted, demorphing, but not going flying like they and Uncle Tommy had, he was telling the truth the blasts weren't as strong as they had been when they had started.
Frank and Mark crawled over to where they were, demorphed as well, "Are you guys okay?" Frank asked.
"I twisted my ankle a little bit when I landed," Tommy confessed.
"Has anyone seen Sara?" Mark asked, "We were right next to each other when I was blasted, and I haven't seen Sara since."
"Sara's tough," Mason insisted, "She'll be fine."
A blast landing next to them barely flattened the grass, "I don't get it," J.T. stated, looking at it, "I thought drinking from the Holy Grail would return her to her former glory? Why is she weakening so quickly?"
"I know," Tommy said, "I suspect that all we need is to get one good blast in and we'll win."
"How are we going to get a blast in?" Frank asked, "We don't have any power weapons anymore."
"There's at least one ranger not accounted for," Tommy said, "And I'm sure that she'll strike soon."
They all glanced at Morgana who was looking confusingly at her hands, no doubt trying to figure out why her powers were fading so quickly. There was movement behind her, far enough away that all the rangers could tell was that the figure was clad in pink.
"Sara," Mason and Mark exclaimed together as the figure drew a bow and fired, hitting Morgana straight in the back.
Morgana's eyes bulged hugely as she looked down at her chest before disappearing into a cloud of smoke.
"Whoa," Melody said, "Sara did it."
"Did what?" a groggy voice asked as Sara arrived, from the opposite direction of the pink-clad figure, nursing her head in her hands, "When I was blasted I ended up knocking my head on a rock and blacking out for a moment."
"If Sara didn't finish off Morgana, who did?" Mason asked, turning his head to look at his Uncle. Surely he knew.
"Maybe my mom came back in uniform," Mark suggested.
"Your mom never had that type of aim," Tommy insisted, turning to Sara, "That was Sara's mother."
"What!"
"The Holy Grail restores the body to its former glory but it wasn't Morgana's body it was Kimberly. So instead of having a powerful enemy return, we had a powerful ally instead."
"That's why you stopped me from stopping Morgana," Frank said. "She was playing right into your hands."
Tommy nodded as a figure wearing a pink power ranger suit with white diamonds across the front approached them. She glanced around, anyone who had stepped out during the battle had quickly made their way back into the nearest building, there was no one around, which was a good thing because she was the only one in uniform and she wasn't even one of the team.
"You just couldn't settle on a single color could you?" the pink ranger asked, jabbing Tommy in the chest, "Green, white, red, now silver, what's next?"
"You forgot to mention black," Mason piped up.
"Yeah, um, retiring didn't go as planned," Tommy announced, "the morphing grid likes me too much."
The pink ranger shook her head before demorphing, "Only you Tommy, only you."
Tommy opened his mouth to say something else but before he could get a sound out Sara ran forward and wrapped her arms around Kim, "Mom, you're here."
Kim dropped down to her knees wrapping her arms around her daughter, "Sara, look at you, you're all grown up."
"You're alive," Sara said as if she was trying to process that fact more than to inform Kim about it.
"Yeah, I'm alive."
"But how? I was at your funeral? I saw you in the coffin."
Kim glanced up at Tommy before letting out a sigh, "I think I have a lot of questions to answer," she admitted.
"The letter? Sara? Your supposed death?" Tommy quickly fired off, "I might be forgetting one but..."
"Can we talk about this privately?" Kim asked, "Please?"
Tommy glanced around, Sara was looking interested while Ms. Johnson tried to herd the other rangers away. He nodded, "Let's head up to my office," he suggested.
…
Tommy carefully made sure that the door was locked and the blinds closed so that he wouldn't have to deal with any rumors about what the two of them were doing in his office alone, "So what exactly happened in Florida?"
"Do you remember the accident I had before I left?" Kim started, "Where I hit my head?"
Tommy nodded, "Yeah, you were exhausted, Rita and Zedd had your power coin and were slowly draining you of your strength, why?"
"Well, I never fully recovered from it," Kim confessed, "I tired way to easily, things I use to find easy were hard to do. I wasn't progressing in my training as I should. Coach Schmidt claimed I was distracted, he told me I either had to dump you or quit Gymnastics, he said that you were holding me back."
"So you wrote that letter?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah," Kim said, "only it didn't work, I wasn't focusing on you any. I was focusing on my gymnastics but things were getting worst, there were days I couldn't even get out of bed. Coach took me to a doctor, and well," Kim looked down at her lap, "my health was bad enough that I was forced to go live with my dad while I did treatments. I had just gone into remission when Jason insisted that I come home for a visit, and you know how that went."
Tommy chuckled, "Yeah, I still have nightmares of Jason dangling me over the volcano," he shuddered, before deciding it was time for them to move on to a new topic, "Sara's a bright girl, reminds me a lot of you, except she isn't nearly as happy go lucky as you."
Kim smiled, "Sara's a good girl, I'm proud of her, I just wish that I could have been around more when she was growing up."
"Who's her father?" Tommy asked, it was a burning question that he had, all he got from Sara was the fact that her father wasn't a good person.
"After I visited you in Angel Grove I went back to Florida and started to train again. One of the assistant coaches was…"
Tommy paled, "That Florida Coach on the news sixteen years ago, he assaulted at least sixteen young gymnasts. It mentioned that he was working under Gunther Schmidt, but I never thought you were one of his victims."
Kim nodded, "It was hard, especially when I relapsed halfway through the pregnancy."
"That's why Sara claims all of her memories of you were of you sick."
Kim nodded, "Yeah, as for my supposed death, I don't remember much until Morgana possessed me."
"Well," Tommy insisted, "That's all in the past, now, what are your plans Saturday?"
Kim shook her head in amusement, "Sorry Tommy, but I haven't seen my daughter in ten years, she comes first."
"Then let's make it a family day, I'll bring Mason," Tommy insisted as there was a pounding on his door.
"Uncle Tommy," Mason called out, "We have a situation."
"It's already went viral and it was only posted half an hour ago," Sara added.
"This is bad, like really, really bad," Frank added.
"I don't know, I kind of like it," J.T. confessed, "I like it when girls compete to get my attention."
"Of course you do," Mark groaned, as Tommy finally opened the door.
"What's going on here?" Tommy demanded.
"This," Melody announced, handing Tommy her phone, a video was up on it, and all Tommy needed to do was read the clickbait to know what the big deal was.
"'The Legendary Mystical Power Rangers' Identity Revealed'?" he quoted, glancing up at everyone.
"They even caught Mom demorphing," Sara announced, "But they didn't get any sound, so your previous team affiliations should be safe."
"Except they now know that you know the Mighty Morphin power rangers," Kim said, having walked up behind Tommy.
Tommy rubbed his forehead, "Why can't all students be as honest and understanding as Cassidy?" he whined.
A/N: Well they finally defeated Morgana and you finally found out Kimberly's story. I'm thinking about doing a sequel to this. It would be called The Fountain of Youth and would involve the teens being turned into toddlers and Tommy and Kim trying to keep them all in check. Let me know in the comments what you think.
