Chapter Three: Back To Action!
"Stop right there!" Kim exclaimed, as she stepped into view. The three baddies turned to look at her. The one called Elsa smirked amused.
"Well this is cute. We've got ourselves a…what are you deary?"
"I'm the one who's going to put a stop to this nonsense! I won't let you use these fuel cells, and I won't let you hurt the Rangers!" Kim growled.
"You're not a Power Ranger? Then what are you doing, you daft girl?" Electronix demanded.
"I'm putting a stop to you." Kim informed.
"Cute, but it won't get you anywhere. Now I suggest you scamper on along, and leave us to our work. If you go now then maybe we'll let you live." Elsa sneered.
"We should get rid of her now as a warning to the Rangers!" Zeltrax snapped. Kim was quick to take a defensive stance, her adrenaline pumping. Here it comes, she thought.
"Try me." Kim challenged.
The smirk on Elsa's face faded as she stared long and hard at Kimberly. Doe brown eyes stared fiercely back at her, a spark of fire burning from within.
"You think you can take us on? What an idiot!" Zeltrax chuckled.
"I know I can take you on. Now, I'm going to tell you once, get out of here." Kim ordered coldly.
"Zeltrax. Electronix. Keep working. I'm going to deal with this little brat." Elsa informed, drawing a deadly blade from her hip. She rushed at Kimberly, swinging he blade with ease. Very aware of her lack of protection, Kim did the only thing she could do, duck. She barely missed the first attack, as it sliced over her head.
Lovely. The next attack didn't miss, this time cutting into her shoulder. Kim let out a small cry of pain as her flesh split, blood spilling.
"This is going to be easy." Elsa grinned. A cold chill rushed up Kim's spine as the dark warrior grinned at her. Elsa wanted to kill her, and if she didn't act fast then it would be all over.
"Think Kimberly. You can do this." She coached herself mentally. As she dodged another strike from the sword she threw herself into a somersault. When she landed on her feet, it came to her.
"Time to get a little old school." Kim smirked. She'd use Elsa's fighting technique to her advantage. Crouching slightly, Kim waited until Elsa struck again before she moved. The sword was thrust at her midsection, but Kim was already airborne, flipping over the enemy. Once she'd landed safely on the other side she turned back to face Elsa. Kim cartwheeled out of the way as the sword came in her direction again. The pain in her shoulder didn't escape her as she performed the maneuver.
However, she couldn't let it stop her. The battle continued as Elsa tried to land her blade on Kim, while she flipped out of the way. Furious with the way things were going, Elsa finally threw her sword away.
"I've had enough of these games!" Elsa snapped. Moving on to hand to hand combat was something Kim had hoped for. Now she could give it her all. Recalling years of putty battles, Kim readied herself for a real fight. Her opponent proved to be formidable as Elsa rushed forward. Kim threw her hands up in defense as the dark warrior threw a wicked punch. Her bones seemed to rattle from the force of the blow.
"Come on Kim! You can do better than this!" She silently urged. When Elsa dove in for another punch Kim threw a kick into her stomach. The dark haired woman was knocked off balance, and she crashed to the ground.
Due to her strict moral code Kim waited until Elsa was on her feet again before attacking. Elsa grabbed her by the arm, intending to flip her over, but Kim used the maneuver to her advantage. Gracefully, she spun underneath Elsa's arm as if she were a ballerina, and flexed her own just enough, so she could propel Elsa towards a group of the dinosaur foot soldiers.
"How can such a little brat have so much skill and power?" Elsa snarled.
"You keep calling me a brat, and it's getting annoying. I'm your age, well maybe. You could be eighty for all I know." Kim said sarcastically. The insult was well aimed, as Elsa's glare might've killed her under other circumstances. Elsa lifted her hand as if she was going to throw a punch, but instead she sent a bolt of energy at Kim. She had just enough time to dive out of the way as it smashed into the building behind her, exploding in a shower of sparks. Her heart beat a little faster, recalling that she wasn't as immune to such attacks without her powers.
"I see the fear in your eyes, and yet you still fight. Perhaps you're realizing what a foolish idea it was to challenge me?" Elsa asked, smirking.
"Not likely." Kim replied. This time it was she who ran forward to attack. She should've known that it was a bad idea, but she slipped up. Before she even reached Elsa, another blast of dark energy hit her square in the chest. The burn was instant as she was knocked off her feet. Sparks exploded from her body in a bright arc, and her body writhed with the electric shock.
Elsa's laugh was like a punch in the stomach. She was gleeful now that Kim was utterly helpless. Her body lay prone on the ground, unable to move due to the pain the attack had brought on her.
"I knew you'd make a mistake. And now the Rangers will have an example of what happens when they allow civilians to interfere." Elsa sneered. The evil warrior walked up to her, energy forming in both hands this time. There was nothing Kim could so though, but watch as Elsa towered over her.
"How does it feel to know that your foolish act of bravery has led to your doom?" Elsa asked smugly.
"If you think I'll quit then you're mistaken." Kim gasped.
"Ha, you can't even move, and yet you think you're a threat. How pathetic." Elsa laughed. It took a great deal of effort, but Kim pushed herself into a sitting position, much to Elsa's shock.
"You've got guts, but no matter."
"I won't give up! I won't let you beat me! No matter what it takes I'll fight you until I can't fight anymore! I won't let the forces of evil win! I'll never quit!" Kim exclaimed passionately.
Something hot exploded against her leg, but it didn't hurt. No, instead it warmed her body. The pain actually began to recede. Kim looked down to see that her pocket was glowing pink. Even as she looked at it the light burst out, blinding all. The heat surrounded Kim's body, healing her. When she opened her eyes again, the light was still there but it didn't hurt. Only the evil ones seemed to be affected by it. Reaching into her pocket Kim pulled out the source of the light. Her power coin. Of course it could be nothing else, but to see it glowing after all these years it was still a shock. The light intensified, and something formed around the coin. As quickly as it brightened the light suddenly vanished. When all was clear again Kim stared down at her hand.
"My morpher!" She gasped.
"What was that?" Zeltrax demanded. He'd run out of the warehouse to see what was taking place.
"I have no idea." Elsa growled.
"But I do." Kim whispered.
"What are you?" Elsa demanded.
Kim didn't answer the question. She just stood there staring down at the morpher that had once given her power. Why was it here now? What on earth was going on? So many questions flooded her mind, but she forced them back. There was time to figure that out later. She knew what she had to do. Grasping the handle on her morpher she looked up and said, "I'm a Power Ranger."
"What! That's impossible! There are no more dino gems to be found!" Elsa shrieked. Ignoring the woman Kim brought her morpher up, and shouted, "It's Morphin Time! Pterodactyl!" A surge of pink thunder surged down from the sky, and struck her body. Kim gasped as the power flooded through her, a sensation she had long forgotten.
After nine long years, Kimberly Ann Hart finally donned the pink mantle once again. When the light faded Kim stood before the enemy, feeling amazing. Her link to the Morphing Grid had been reawakened.
"Another Ranger!" Zeltrax exclaimed.
"How is that possible? The Pterodactyl is a part of the yellow dino gem." Elsa snarled.
"Not this Pterodactyl. Mighty Morphin Power Ranger!" Kim informed, taking on her signature pose.
Kim couldn't help, but grin as Elsa glared angrily at her. The tables had turned, and for the better. The three villains suddenly looked above her head, Elsa's face, the only one expressing shock. Confused Kim looked up as well, finding three creatures flying around her head. Tears suddenly welled in her eyes at the sight.
"Pterodactyl! Firebird! Crane! You're back!" Kim exclaimed joyously. They answered her in unison with their own personal cries before shooting into her chest. Once again reunited with her animal spirits Kim no longer feared destruction. This battle was hers.
I've had enough of this! Tyrannadrones! Get that Power Ranger!" Elsa commanded.
"Tyrannadrones? How unoriginal. What's the matter Elsa? Are you afraid to fight me now?" Kim taunted. Even as the first foot soldier came her way, she sent it flying into another with a spinning kick.
The five Dino Thunder Rangers stood on a rooftop watching the battle below them unfold. They'd arrived just in time to see the Pink Ranger in action. She was having no trouble dispensing with the Tyrannodrones. It was almost as if it were effortless on her part.
"Oh my God! It's the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger!" Ethan exclaimed excitedly.
"Wait! I thought all of the original rangers didn't have their powers anymore. What's going on Dr. O?" Kira demanded.
"I have no idea." Tommy replied. He was staring dumbstruck down at the Pink Ranger as she flipped over a Tyrannodrone. Even from his vantage point he could see that the woman was small and petite. The fighting style itself was quite recognizable as well, especially since he saw some of his old kata moves getting thrown in once in a while. There was only one Pink Ranger with that graceful style, or who used some of his moves, Kimberly.
The very thought sent his heart racing. Dear God, the woman he loved was fighting on the ground beneath them.
"She's doing one heck of a job." Connor said impressed.
"Do you think she can take out Elsa and Zeltrax too?" Trent wondered.
"We're not standing up here to find out." Tommy growled. The others looked at him stunned, even if he couldn't see their faces. He'd been around them enough to know how they would react.
"You don't think she can do it?" Kira asked curiously.
"I don't know." Tommy admitted. Even as he said it he watched the Pink Ranger take down a few more foot soldiers. She was strong, and holding her own against the Tyrannodrones. They were nothing like the putties that they'd faced before. So far she was adapting well.
"Well we can't leave her to have all the fun then. Come on Rangers, let's get down there!" Connor commanded. Finally, Tommy thought. The Dino Thunder Rangers were about to make themselves known.
