Chapter 3

.

Katherine found Kimerly as she was leaving school.

.

Katherine: Are you okay Kimberly?

Kimberly: Yeah. Why?

Katherine: There's a rumor going around school, that you're pregnant.

.

Kimberly thought about this for a moment. Aside from the other power rangers, who kne she was pregnant? There was her parents, her doctor, Tommy's parents, and that cat who hung around them. Who among them would blab?

.

Kimberly: Yes, I am with child. Tommy and I are getting married. We're not stupid, we know it will be hard work and difficult, but I also love this baby.

Katherine: For what it's worth, I think you're going to be a good mother.

Kimberly: Thank you, that means a lot to me.

.

Katherine hugged Kimberly and Kimberly accepted this hug. Before she knew what hit her Katherine teleported them both to Rita and Zed's palace.

.

Kimberly: What's going on?

Katherine: Haven't you figured it out? I work for Rita and Zed.

Kimberly: But Billy's invention, it said you're good.

Katherine: Maybe he's not as smart as you all think. But I will be the new pink ranger, after I eliminate my predecessor.

.

Kimberly's dissapearence did not go unnoticed. Zordon ordered the other rangers to the command center while Alpha hacked into the frequency of Rita's palace. They saw Kimberly and Katherine fighting, and Zordon recognized the dagger that Katherine was weilding.

.

Billy: I don't understand, my invention said she was good.

Tommy: She must be under a spell like I was.

Billy: That makes sense, the device measures a person's true essence, not Rita's magic.

Zordon: Unfortunately, I recognize the dagger that Katherine has.

Jason: What is it?

Zordon: It is the dagger of darkness. If Katherine takes a life with it, even under Rita's spell, then she will forever be bound to the service of evil.

.

Kimberly fought Katherine, but tried to take care. She knew that Katherine was good, but she was under an evil influence, not unlike Tommy had been. But Kimberly had to protect herself and her baby. During the fight Kimbery got hold of the dagger, but she couldn't bring herself to kill Katherine. Katherine didn't understand, why was her enemy showing her mercy? It seemed to be getting through to Katherine, Kimberly tried to get her to fight Rita's spell. Katherine seemed conflicted, she had a mission, couldn't let this weakness stop her. Katherine grabed the dagger and put it to Kimberly's throat. Kimberly used her last card, told Katherine that she was good, this wasn't her. In this moment Katherine made a choice, between good and evil. Katherine destroyed the dagger of darkness. When she chose good, the artificial evil that Rita had placed in her dissapeared.

.

Katherine: I am so sorry.

Kimberly: It's okay, you chose good.

Katherine: We need to get out of here quickly because we're both vulnerable here.

Kimberly: My communicator was damaged, it'll take a few minutes to repair.

Goldar: You don;t have a few minutes.

.

Katherine and Kimbery turned around and saw Goldar. Evil might have lost Katherine as a servant, but he could still destroy both of them here.
