Alpha 5: "yes. of course. that's absolutely right. you're all injured super badly. and if you all keep this up, you'll all get killed off."
Tails: "Yeah."
Knuckles: "and we don't even want that to happen."
Tommy: "that's true. but we're the Zeo Rangers. and we can't even let the darkness take over the globe."
Katherine: "Tommy's absolutely right."
Alpha 5: "but, Rangers-"
Zordon: "Alpha. I think they're absolutely right."
Tanya: "well. okay."
Narrator: meanwhile in King Mondo's lair, Ivan Ooze had arrived, wondering exactly who brought him here.
Ivan: "where the dang heck am I?"
Narrator: then King Mondo appeared in front of Ivan.
King Mondo: "ah, Ivan. I knew you'd come by."
Ivan: "who the dang heck are you? and why the dang heck am I here?"
King Mondo: "allow me to introduce myself. I'm King Mondo. and the reason why I brought you here is 'cause of the pesky Zeo Rangers that I fight against."
Ivan: "yeah? what about them?"
King Mondo: "you see? the Zo Rangers destroyed most of our giant monsters and our army was completely useless. and you're the one that can destroy those Zeo Rangers in sight."
Ivan: "really? what's the catch?"
King Mondo: "no catch, Ivan."
Ivan: "okay. I accept."
King Mondo: "good. splendid."

Narrator: Tommy began running over to save Katherine's entire life.

Narrator: Tommy collapsed to the ground. and Ivan was still standing with a pure evil grin on his face. then all of a sudden, he begins feeling the pain in his entire body. and when he blasted that super thrilling power, it weakened his super powerful strength. and he had no choice but to retreat.
Ivan (grunting a bit): "we'll meet again, Freedom Fighters and Mystic Force Rangers. and you too, Zeo Rangers!"
Narrator: Ivan disappeared. and the Zeo Rangers, Freedom Fighters and Mystic Force Rangers ran up to the injured Tommy.
Katherine: "Tommy! Tommy! speak to me!

Tommy: "I'm afraid that's not possible, you guys. I'm done for."
Adam: "what?! Tommy, you can't give up now."
Tommy: "you guys. I can't even fight any longer. I'm finished now."

Madison (teared up): "yes, Tommy. please don't do this."
Tommy: "I'm terribly sorry, you guys. but this is just my time."
Narrator: then Tommy got out his Zeo morpher. and he handed it over to Katherine.
Tommy: "Katherine. take my Zeo morpher."
Katherine: "no, Tommy. please."
Tommy: "take it so you won't forget all about me."
Narrator: Katherine took Tommy's Zeo morpher. and Tommy looked up at his best ffriends for life and lovebirds and the others. and he had a super thrilling smiling face.
Tommy: "thanks a bunch, you guys. I'm super lucky that I became a Power Ranger. and I always...will be."
Narrator: Tommy closed his eyes. and a bright red glow swirled around him.
Katherine: "no, Tommy! please!"
Narrator: butt it was way too late. Tommy faded away in Katherine's arms. and Katherine looked up just as Tommy's heavenly spirit stars flew right into the evening skies, and tear drops began streaming down her face.
Narrator: Katherine put her head down. and she began silently sobbing her eyes out.
Katherine: "Tommyyyyyyyy!"
(Katherine's silently weeping.)
Narrator: the other Power Rangers began silently sobbing their eyes out too. and the Freedom Fighters who watched Tommy pass away, also began silently weeping their eyes out. except Shadow, Silver and Espio.

Narrator: meanwhile in the Power Chamber, Alpha 5 saw what had happened to Tommy. and he was shocked and upset about it.
Alpha 5: "Aye yi, yi, yi, yi! Tommy's deceased."
Narrator: then Xander walked all the way up to Katherine. and he knelt right down to her.
Xander: "Katherine. I'm terribly sorry about this."
Katherine (teared up): "why the dang heck did Tommy need to pass away? it really should've been me."
Xander: "Katherine. everything's gonna be okay."
Narrator: Katherine lifted up her tear-stained face.
Katherine: "okay? Xander. Tommy's deceased 'cause of me. I shouldn't've confronted Ivan."
Xander: "Katherine. it's not your entire fault. Tommy passed away 'cause he wanted to save all of us. and he'll always be on our side no matter what happens."
Katherine (teared up): "okay."
Narrator: Xander let Katherine silently weep on his right shoulder. and he was saying supe nice gentle words to her. then the other Ranger Teens and Freedom Fighters made a memorial grave for Tommy's memories.
Trixie: "goodbye, Tommy."
Omega: "we are gonna miss you for eternity."

Bold Dialogue: Flashback Sequences
Chapter 2: Flashback memories
Narrator: it had been two days after Tommy Oliver, the Red Zeo Ranger, passed away in the battle fight against Ivan Ooze. the Ranger Teens and the Freedom Fighters were in the rec room.
Pansy: "it's like a terrible and horrible nightmare."
Trixie: "yeah. Tommy took his entire life saving all of us. that was super brave and heroic of him indeed."
Espio: "I know you all miss him more than anything. we all miss him more than anything as well."
Sonic: "you do?"
Tails: "of course we do. man. Knuckles cried and wept for the very first time."
Amy: "well. he's gone for good now. and we need to move on."
Narrator: then Xander began looking around for Katherine. but she wasn't even there.
Xander: "hey. where's Katherine?"
Knuckles: "oh. she's in her dorm room. ever since Tommy passed away, Katherine's been cooped up in there."
Nick: "yeah right. and she's been depressed an awful lot."
Xander: "hmm. I'll go see how she's doing."
Vida: "Xander! wait!"
Xander: "I really don't like to see Katherine this depressed. so I'll go speak with her."
Narrator: Xander went up to the door. and he entered Katherine's dorm room.
Narrator: meanwhile in her dorm room, Katherine had been having flashbacks of her and Tommy. when he was dying and when he was still alive.
Tommy: "thanks a bunch, you guys. I'm super lucky that I became a Power Ranger and I always…will be."
*he faded away in Katherine's Arms*
Katherine: "why the dang heck did you need to pass away, Tommy?"
Tommy gave Katherine a plush toy kangaroo at a carnival. and she was amazed by it.
Katherine: "whoa, Tommy. this is super incredible!"
Tommy: "I got it for you, Katherine. now you'll have that kangaroo to remember me by when I'm gone off to a much better place."
Katherine: "I really love it, Tommy. thanks a bunch."
Tommy: "you're welcome, Katherine."
Narrator: Katherine remembered Tommy's handsome smiling face.
Katherine: "Tommy's deceased 'cause of what happened. and it's my entire fault."
Xander: (off screen) "Katherine?"
Narrator: Katherine looked up. and she saw Xander right at the door.
Katherine: "Xander. I'm not coming outta here."
Xander: "Katherine. I know exactly how you're feeling. everything's gonna be okay."
Katherine: "everything's not gonna be okay."
Narrator: Katherine walked up to the wall.
Katherine: "Tommy was my best friend for life and one true love. we were about to become boyfriend and girlfriend in the future. he was always there for me. and now, he's deceased 'cause of what happened and also 'cause of me."
Narrator: Xander's eyes widened.
Xander: "Katherine. it's not your entire fault."
Katherine: "It really is my entire fault. I should've passed away and Tommy would've been safe and secure."
Xander: "come on, Katherine. quit blaming yourself. Tommy didn't wanna see you get destroyed. that's exactly why he passed away instead of you."
Narrator: Katherine sank to her knee caps. and she sighed depressingly.
Tori: "Xander. I can't move on any longer. none of this would've happened if Ivan never came to Angel Grove."
Narrator: Xander knelt down in front of her. and he replied to her.
Xander: "Katherine. it's not your entire fault. okay? but Tommy's gone for good. he's in the skies of heaven now."
Katherine: "I still miss him, Xander. I miss him more than anything."
Narrator: Xander put his right arm around Katherine's right shoulder. and the Pink Zeo Ranger let out another depressed heavy sigh.
Katherine: "I'm gonna be alone for good now."
Xander: "you're not gonna be alone for good, Katherine. you still got Rocky, Jason, Adam and Tanya on your team. and you got me now. and we'll all make sure Ivan says his final words."
Katherine: "Xander. I-"
Xander: "no, Katherine. don't say that. everything's gonna be okay."
Narrator: Xander gave Katherine a romantic kiss on her forehead. and they both fell asleep.
Narrator: Tails broke down in tear drops. and Pansy put her right arm around his right shoulder.
Tails: "Pansy? I really miss Tommy more than anything in the globe."
Pansy: "we know, Tails. we really miss him more than anything as well too."
Narrator: Blaze and Trixie were watching Tails weep silently.
Blaze: "whoa, boy. I sure hope this ends real soon."
Trixie: "you're absolutely right, Blaze. I hate to see the Zeo Rangers end up like this for the rest of their entire lives."
Narrator: Trixie put her right hand on Blaze's right shoulder. just as they said goodbye to Tommy. one last time.
Rest in heavenly peace, Tommy Oliver. we'll all miss you for eternity.
