Angel of Darkness

By: Luna Ace

Summary: Years after the infamous Dear John letter Kimberly Ann Hart calls Thomas Oliver and asks to met him in Angel Grove Park. Can a relationship ten years old be salvage?

She stepped off the last step and walked into the light. She was thinking about one of the Rangers greatest enemy. And, she sent her most faithful servant to gather her. Her evil smile was unseen as she called forth her brooch, in which she use to transform.

Behind her, she felt the remains of what had stood of Scorpina, her once sworn enemy. She closed her eyes and swiftly turned towards the ashes.

"Goldar shall be pleased." she sneered.

A flicker of emotion flowed through her body and then a voice. She knew that voice, and turned around.

"Kimberly stop doing this. This isn't you. Don't let him control you. It's over."

But, she didn't listen. She knew who that voice belong to. It was the goody-two shoes Kimberly. She really needed to separate herself from her goody-two shoes self. She place her hand out to the ashes, and murmured the Requiem of a scorpion once more. And, then in the light of the moon a body full of gold lining appeared.

"My queen," a female voice echoed through out the walls.

And, with that Kimberly smiled a vile smile as she listened to the goody-two shoe self whisper in fear:

"I am going to die."

Hayley, Aisha and Trini walked out of the Hospital wing just as Jason walked inside the command center. Everyone who was inside didn't know what to say. They felt at a lose. They felt as if they were about to take a big hit. Lose something worth saving. It only boiled down to the last battle, which they knew would happen soon.

"Someone tell me what's going on," Jason announced as he looked from Rocky to Katherine.

"Well," Hayley started. "I would like help anyway I can," Hayley stated looking from Trini to Aisha.

Jason shook his head. He wasn't going to let some bystander into this war. But, Hayley wasn't just some bystander. That much he knew. Then, why did he feel like he could trust her with this? That they can win if Hayley was fighting at their side. And, then it hit him. She could be a Ranger.

But, not just any Ranger. He begun to walk over towards the box of Power Coins where two power coins laid torment. The Frog Ninjetti Coin and the Triceratops Power Coin. He then walked over to Adam with the box in his hand, and waited patiently for Adam to take his coin. He did and then held it up into the light.

Billy, who was behind Jason spoke up for the first time. " Adam Park, I know how hard you had it since this ordeal began. The fact of the matter is with the last battle coming up. We need you. Please take your stand as you become The Ninjetti Frog Ranger once more."

Adam didn't say a word. This was it. He was finally able to help the Rangers. And, not like last time. Where he was fighting without his coin. He still felt so stupid for doing that. But, now wasn't the time. Kimberly needed him. She needed all of them. And, he knew from that moment on he would do anything in his power to save her.

"I accept," Adam spoke with courage.

Jason smiled and then turned to Hayley. This was new for her. She wasn't a Power Ranger before. She didn't deal with the hard strifes that they had. That they all have. It all was very simple. And, then another thought occurred to him. What would Zordon say?

Tommy?

Sweat could be seen visible on his brow. There were times like this he wished he wasn't there. Times like this were he was asleep next to his loving wife-- Trini Kwan Scott. But, right now he swallowed his own fears and held out the last power coin.

"Hayley Ziktor. You have been chosen to be the final Power Ranger. The Triceratops. A Blue. Before you can accept there are three rules that one must follow." Jason said.

Aisha then stepped forward. "Never use the power for personnel gain."

Then, Katherine spoke up. "Never escalate a battle unless Kimberly or Mesogog forces you to."

Trini then walked over to her husband and spoke quietly. "Keep you identity secret."

Hayley laughed somewhat. "Wow. Um, no pressure." she muttered as she took the coin and examine it. She then turned around as the command center doors opened revealing a very pissed Tommy.

Hours later Hayley sat outside of the command center watching the sun go down. She hadn't accepted the mission as of yet. In fact, she didn't accept it because of how Tommy would react. She knew she could, but his reaction to anything Power Rangitc scared the hell out of her.

Especially when he had been captured by Mesogog and became invisible.

But, she wondered how he was going to react to this? How would the DT Team react? This was a big step to her. A very big step. And, sure enough she would have to find a replacement manager for her Cyber Lounge. She wondered right now who was looking after it. It had been closed for sometime. Yet, she knew after this mess she would go back to the simple life.

"Penny for your thoughts?" an Australian accented voice asked.

Hayley looked over to the blond woman. She smiled inwardly. What could she tell her? Many thoughts surrounded her mind and harpooned her.

"Katherine is it?" Hayley asked, unsure of herself.

The blond nodded. "You can call me Kat."

"All right Kat." Hayley said, not knowing what to say.

Katherine then sat down beside her. She smiled at her. And, yet Hayley didn't know what to say nor do. Katherine had been in this for a long run, and Hayley was just starting out. But, Hayley was intrigued by Katherine Hillard- Cranston.

"I was given my coin by Kim," Katherine said, breaking the tension.

Hayley looked over to her, butt didn't say anything.

"Kimberly was tore when she was barely young adult. She wanted to follow her dream, and do her duty as a Power Ranger. At the time, I was evil. A pawn, if you will. Rita Replusa wanted to use me to take Kim's Ninjetti coin and use it against her. I... no we succeeded."

Tears now fell from the blond's face as the redhead hugged her closely.

"I found out at the last minute-- before the Rangers saved me." Katherine gulped, and then pulled away from Hayley. "They had a bigger plan for Kim. This. What she's going through now was started after she left California.

Hayley nodded. "That must been when she stopped writing me."

"She wrote to you?"

"Every week for about ten years. She never told me about the Powers though. She kept that part of her life secret. Now, I see why."

Katherine stood up. "Come on Hayley. With power comes responsibility. I believe together we can bring Kimberly back to us for good. What do you say?"

Hayley smiled, and for the first time since she been recruited into the Dino Thunder team she felt as if she was part of the team. And, she wasn't even on the sidelines this time.

The two walked into the Command Center side by side. Tommy turned to them and glared intensively at Hayley. She knew then that he knew. And, she walked past him and towards the Scott's. She smiled at them and nodded.

She was going to be a Power Ranger after all. Despite what Tommy would have said. The alarm started ringing at that precise moment. Each member of the team-- besides Hayley and Tommy-- looked over towards the viewing globe.

A tall scorpion monster was destroying the town. And, yet a shriek came from one of the Yellow Rangers. This was it. Her final battle.

A/N: Muwhahahahaha. Cliffhanger. I started writing this back on Thursday, knowing that I would only be allowed to work on it during my free time (when I wasn't packing, shopping, or sleeping). And, yet I feel as evil as KIm right now leaving tomorrow (Sunday, Fen. 24) and not coming back and working on this for three weeks. Enjoy though!
