If We Hold on Together

By: Luna Ace

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

Silence had taken over the cave. Billy was over by the written marks that were by the wall-- he had concluded that thew were Aquirian. Which oddly made it that he was the only choice to read the inscription. Adam was leaning on the wall near him with worry etched across his face. Aisha was trying to hold Kim together-- but failing miserably.

"This is all my fault." Kim said sadly.

"Don't say that," Aisha said firmly.

Aisha had enough of Kimberly putting herself down. It was as if they were in high school again, but then she remembered Kimberly hadn't been free from her spell since high school. The African American sighed, and took the trembling woman into her arms. Aisha shook her head, and looked at her comrades. Kimberly had fallen asleep.

"Has anyone figured out where we are?" she asked.

Nobody said anything so she took that as a no. The yellow Ninjetti Ranger sighed, anger raising inside of her, but who was she to complained. The past ten years had been quite odd for her. And, it all started with that marriage to Lord Zedd. She cringed just thinking about it. Adam looked up at her when she did, and pushed up off the wall.

"'Sha?" Adam asked, unsure of what to say.

Billy stopped what he was doing and looked over to the yellow Ninjetti.

"What's going on?" he asked.

He was kind of embarrassed that he forgotten that he wasn't the only one in the room. He looked solemnly towards the black Ninjetti ranger and sighed. Then he went back to decipher the message on the wall. He knew he was the only one who could decipher it, but he realized after about a half a minute that the language was somewhat like Old English.

"It's nothing." Aisha said quietly as she looked down at her chocolate hands. There was nothing in them, but somehow she was seeing blood in her hands. Something that had never happened before. But, she wondered why was it happening now. To her. This wasn't normal. And, yet she laughed to herself. Nothing in her life ever was.

Adam didn't looked convince, and he sat down by Aisha. He studied the face of Kimberly. She was smiling, dreaming of something. He smiled-- maybe she was dreaming about Tommy. He'd hope so. But, then again when she woke up she'd be back in this nightmare. A nightmare which he wished that him and his comrades could wake up to-- and it was yesteryear before Kim had made an allegiance with Zedd. No that wasn't the word. Before Zedd decided to put the spell on her.

"We have to stay together. For Kim's sake." he said after a minute.

"I know, but everything that's happened thus far... Rocky's hurt, and he might not even..."

Adam hugged her... somehow... with Kim's head still in Aisha's lap.

"Shh... it's okay... he'll make it. The other's will make sure of it. I know they will. We have to find a way to save Tommy."

Aisha nodded sadly.

She sighed. She was bored. This is what it came too. The yellow Power ranger to a computer consultant to this... whatever this was. She wished she had brought something here to passed the time. And, yet... she felt like a nurse maid. She began to wonder how had Billy passed the time here in the command center. She had known about his exploits from the time he became an ex-Ranger, like her; to the time he left for Aquitar.

She then turned to the red ranger's handsome face. She smiled a bit as she walked over towards her long time friend. She was jealous. She had always known he'd make a great companion-- not that she loved him. But, in a way that she could trust them with their secret. When Kimberly and Billy had met Aisha, Rocky and Adam in high school it felt like Kimberly had pushed her away. And, it didn't helped when the school had chosen Jason, Zack and her to go to that conference in Switzerland.

Yet, Kimberly was happy for her. She would never tell her brunette friend that she cried on the plane. It had felt like her life was ripped away from her. Her duty of being a Power Ranger, and responsibility. By then she felt as if she was tossed aside by Kimberly and replaced by Aisha. In retrospect she realized she had been foolish to think that, and quietly decided that once this was all over Kimberly and her were going to have a nice long talk.

You just have to get better Rocky, she quietly pleaded.

Mesogog tilted his head. He was trying to figure out who were these people. He didn't want to ask them. That was below him. They looked like the Dino Thunder Rangers-- except there were more of them. There was a Pink Ranger. He blinked. Since when did the Dino Thunder Rangers had a Pink Ranger? He then soon realized something-- he would of known if Elsa had reported back to him, but she was now missing.

He scoffed. She was the second comrade under his mind control that had gone missing. The first of course being Zeltrex. But, he had found Zeltrex being hang by the red Dino thunder ranger... wait... if he saw the Red Dino Thunder Ranger and a Red Ranger was here in the flesh then who could this be? Being a Mastermind baddie never been so... confusing.

"Who are you?" he shouted, trying to masked it's confusion.

The Blue Ranger giggled. Actually giggled. This confused the demented boss even more. He thought she was a he. The Blue Ranger's eyes sparkled behind his helmet. It looked like he was having fun with Mesogog's confusion. The other Rangers all looked at the demented leader confusingly. Then at the Blue Ranger.

"Mesogog thinks I'm a he," The Blue Ranger whisper-giggled.

The others looked back towards Mesogog and then to her. Then they broke out in a round of laughter. The Red Ranger shook his head. Maybe now was a good time to attack. He raised his arm as if to say Charge In. The male Ranger charged in and begun to attack. The female Rangers readied their weapons. The blue Ranger looked at the lance and wondered for a moment how to used them, but then thought of a way.

She, like the male Rangers; charged in as well. This only left the Pink Ranger alone. The Pink Ranger lifted her bow and begun to shot Mesogog. Mesogog dodged quickly. He wasn't going to be destroyed by a arrow. The Pink Ranger's anger flared. And, she begun to shoot arrows two at a time. Then three. Yet, the demented leader still dodge. Oh, but that didn't mean he got hurt by the other weapons.

He dodged the Red Ranger's sword as well.

And, yet he couldn't dodge the Black Ranger's Ax nor the Blue Ranger's lance. In fact somehow he felt attracted to the Blue Ranger somehow. He wanted to fight her alone. He wanted to control her. He wanted... he wanted the Blue Ranger to show him mercy.

The blue Ranger felt it as well. He was homing in on her for some reason. It had given her a sickening feeling. Just then the Red Ranger had a plan. "Everyone attack at the same time!" he called, and they did-- there was a big explosion, a flash, and Mesogog fell to the floor. The Rangers thought that this fight was over-- but it wasn't as Mesogog stood up smirking at each and everyone of them. They needed a new plan.

"We need the power blaster." The black Ranger cried.

"We need Trini," The Red Ranger cried slapping the wrist communicator under his uniform.

"Tri we need you."

"Uh..." The Black Ranger was thinking hard. He then turned to The Red Ranger. "Do you think it will work we haven't used that since..."

The Red Ranger nodded. "I know, but it has to. We don't have the use of any other weapons. Well, not without Tommy anyway."

"Well Rocky it looks like your going to be alone for awhile." the Asian woman had said.

She smiled sadly at him. She wished that he was better. She wished that he could help them-- they needed to destroy Mesogog once and for all. And, they needed to find their other companions. She swallowed hard. He didn't know that Aisha had blinked away. What the hell did that mean? She didn't have time to think of that though. The others needed her.

"It's morphing time! Saber tooth Tiger!

...

She transported a few feet away from battle, and called her Daggers into her possession. She smirked under her helmet and then ran off towards the battle scene. This had become one interesting day. Maybe she should write a book about this...

"Jason!" she cried as the evil creature; who looked disgusting; had made it's way towards the Red Ranger.

The Black Ranger looked back at his long time friend and smirked as he turned around to hit Mesogog with his Power Ax. The monster, Mesogog; had fallen back onto the ground. The Red Ranger thanked The black Ranger and smiled at Trini.

"Power Ax."

"Power Bow."

Power Daggers."

"Power Lance."

"Power Sword."

The weapons made a type of Cannon that the Blue Ranger had never thought possible. But, the Red Ranger, Black ranger and Yellow Ranger were glad that their old weapons could still morph into this. But, then came the moment of truth. Would the weapon still work? Would it destroy this monster? The Yellow Ranger sensed the Red Ranger's edginess.

"It will work. It has too."

"Right."

The other Rangers lined up behind them. They balanced their powers on Mesogog and aimed for him. They all cheered (except the Blue Ranger) when they found out the blaster was still working as it shot Mesogog, but then their eyes widen in horror as Mesogog meta morphed back into a human. And, not just any human.

The Blue Ranger was shocked at these turn of events and ran towards the man that Mesogog once was. The Blue Ranger threw off her helmet as her vision in her brown eyes became blurry. It occurred to her then that she was crying. She scooped the man into her lap, and didn't noticed that the other two girls walked up beside her.

Kimberly was waking up. It seemed she had awoken from a long nap. She looked up to see Aisha and Adam smiling down on her. She moved away from Aisha's lap and fondly smiled at the both of them. She felt less drained that way. It had felt like the weight of the last ten years had finally lifted. But, she knew Tommy was still between life and death. Which brought her back to the present.

"How long was I out? Where are we?" the brunette asked.

"We don't know. You've been out for five or six hours now." Billy spoke, not letting his eyes leave the Aquirian inscription on the wall.

The brunette frowned. "And you've been starring at a wall ever since?"

Aisha and Adam looked at each other and laughed. They know what he was doing, and Kimberly did not. But, the way Kimberly had put it ... it was believable.

"Laugh at the smart guy," Billy muttered turning around watching his three friends laugh at him. He then joined too.

"But, I have some good news." Billy stated after the laughter died down.

Adam stood up. "What is it?"

"I've finally figured out what the wall says."

A/N: And, I think I'll end it there. I was going to end it before the Rangers kill Mesogog, but I decided against it. I love using their old weapons in this fight (even though Hayley doesn't really understand how)... but, I love this chapter non the less. Hehe.
