The night air of the park was warm, the June weather beginning to turn to summer. The slight breeze blowing through the trees felt nice on my face as I walked the familiar path towards the pond. The moon was high above me, stars winkling all around it. I hugged my arms around myself, trying my bed to not cry. This was the hardest thing I have ever decided. Breaking up with Tommy had been difficult but the only ones it hurt were Tommy and me. This time, I felt like I was betraying my entire team, Zordon and the rest of the world.

I had to admit; the idea to join Tommy was one I had decided on as soon as he asked me. At first, it was out of selfishness. I knew I had to be with him, even if it meant joining the dark side. But as we continued to fight, I knew that I could be a huge assets in helping our team behind the scenes. If I showed Rosita I had come willingly, she wouldn't need to place a spell over me. I would have my own conscious thought and I could help over throw her without her even knowing. I knew if I had tried to tell Jason and the others, they would shoot me down before I could even finish my thought. That's why I needed to go and then have them find out about it. There was no other way around it.

Walking over to the large rock, I sat on it like I had the night before. I tugged my white jacket around me more, crossing my arms across me. I knew it was a little passed midnight. I wondered if he had come and gone, thinking I wasn't going to show. My question was quickly answered as he teleported a few feet away from me. We locked eyes for a moment, neither one of us moving. He wore a tight dark green t-shirt and light blue jeans, looking as if he was just coming back from a day with friends rather than a day trying to kill the Power Rangers. Clearing my throat, I stood up from the rock and took a step towards him.

"Did you decide?" He asked, looking at me cautiously.

"I'm here, aren't I?" I replied, my heart thudding in my chest. Every part of me was telling me to turn and run. Instead, I took a deep breath and stood, rooted to me spot. "Tommy, I need to know that you aren't going to let anything happen to the others. That they'll be safe." He walked towards me, stopping a few inches away from me.

"I gave you my word that they would be." He said softly, taking my hands in his. They felt warm and calloused like usual. "I'm glad you came. Even though I tried like hell to fight it, I couldn't stop the feelings I had for you. I'm going to take good care of you, Kim. You'll like it with Rosita. She's given me free run of the hotel and I can do what I please. I mean, Goldar and Strasser get old but you'll learn to ignore them."

"Will she put a spell on me too?" I asked, looking up at him. He shook his head.

"No. Once I tell her you decided to join us, she'll see that you don't need to be placed under spell. You'll have to prove yourself though. I'm sure it won't be too hard." He seemed excited, a smile plastered on his face. "C'mon. I'll take you to her right now. She'll be happy to see you." He pulled on my hand, heading for the park trail. Something inside of me screaming, making me stop. I felt tears prickle the back of my eyes as I shook my head.

"I can't." I whispered, pulling my hand from him. He turned back, looking at me confused.

"What?"

"I can't do this, Tommy. I can't turn my back on Zordon and the Power Rangers." My hands trembled as I glanced at him. "I tried. I really did. I can't do it though. I want nothing more in the world than to be with you but not if it means trying to take over the world as well."

"You're telling me no?" He asked, anger showing on his features. "I told you I wouldn't hurt your precious friends! What else do you want from me, Kim?"

"I want you to come back to the Command Center with me. Let us fix you!" I said, grabbed his hand.

"NO!" He roared, shoving me. I stumbled back, falling to the ground.

"Kimberly!" A voice called from behind Tommy. Looking up, I saw Jason come sprinting from the tree line. Tommy turned, standing in front of me facing Jason. Jason skidded to a stop, glaring at Tommy.

"I should have known you weren't too far away from her." Tommy sneered, glaring at Jason.

"Let her go, Tommy." Jason called out, taking a defensive stand. Tommy shook his head, let out a dark chuckle.

"Gee, Jason. Does Trini know you came here, running after Kim? I'm sure she'd love that. The two of you should just fuck and get the whole thing over with. We're all getting pretty tired of the best friend act the two of you going on. I'm sure Trini sees it too."

"I don't know what idea you have but it's not like that, man." Jason said. "Kim loves you and you know that."

"It doesn't matter anyway. Once I destroy you and the rest of the Power Rangers, she'll have no one to choose over me anymore." Above our heads, there was a loud crackling noise. The three of us glanced up as I stood up. There were flashes of white light now, putties appearing with them. I took a defensive stance, surprised that Tommy did the same thing towards a putty. I heard him swear under his voice as another loud crackle happened. Goldar appeared now, his large golden sword in hand.

"Green Ranger! You have defied our empress! She is not impressed with your actions!" He called out, pointing the sword at Tommy.

"Shut up, you ugly ape." Tommy said. "You have no idea what you're talking about. I was just about to take care of the original red ranger." There was another loud crackle noise and I felt someone standing behind me. Before I could turn, I felt an arm wrap around my torso and lift me out the ground. It was purple and wrapped in cold metal. Strasser. I let out a scream as I tried to break free. Tommy spun on his heels to see what was wrong. He glared at Strasser when he saw he was holding on to me.

"Come, Tommy. It's time to go home now." Strasser said, pointing his staff at Tommy. He raised it and slammed on the ground. We disappeared, leaving Jason with the army of putties. I heard him call my name as we vanished into thin air.
