Chapter 5
.
Katherine woke up in a prison cell in Zed's dungeon. Rito Revulto was her guard, he didn't seem to know why they were keeping her alive at this point. Either they wanted her as a bargaining chip, or they were planning a particularly painful death for her. Katherine saw something else, a box that was glowing pink. She realized, this was where they were keeping the pink power coin that she stole from Kimberly. Maybe if she could get it back, she could return it to Zordon's team and they could create a new pink ranger. She just needed to get out of this cell first. Fortunately Rito wasn't too bright. Katherine began humming a lullabye, one that her mother used to sing to her to make her fall asleep. Rito started to nod off, and Katherine kept humming. Finally Rito fell asleep and Katherine stole his keys. Then she grabbed to box and began opening it. Just as she got it open Goldar returned, it was apparently time to execute her. Katherine feared she was no match for Goldar in her normal state, so she did what she had to do. Katherine used the power coin to become the pink ranger. She and Goldar fought briefly, before Zordon was able to morph her back to the command center. They all seemed happy to see her, she turned back to her regular self.

Katherine: How'd I get back here?
Alpha: Once the pink power coin was in the hands of good again we were able to teleport it's user back here.
Katherine: Sorry about that, seemed like the only way to survive. But I believe this belongs to you.
.
Katherine offered Kimberly her power coin back. Kimberly took Katherine's hand, but didn't take the coin.
.
Kimberly: Not anymore.
Katherine: I don't understand.
Kimberly: Zordon it's been an honor to be a power ranger, but I can't do that anymore. I have to think of my baby's safety now. And I can't think of a better choice to take my place than Katherine.
Zordon: I agree with your judgement Kimberly. Katherine would make an excellant addition to this team.
Katherine: Are you serious? After all I've done to you, to all of you?
Kimberly: It wasn't your fault. And it would be an honor to name you as my successor. If you want the job.
Katherine: Yes I do.
Zordon: There are three rules you must follow Katherine, or lose the protection of the power. Never use your power in anger. Never engage in a fight unless Rita and Zed force you. And never reveal your identity to anyone.
Katherine: I accept, and I will do my best to honor the person who gave me this coin.
Kimberly: I know you will, that's why it's yours.
