Chapter Twelve-What Kim Would Go Back To
"I guess it all really started even before you fell." Zordon started. "When I made Andros shatter my energy orb, that is the beginning of the story. You see, when he did that, all of the evil there was destroyed, and that included Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa. Well, as all of you know, they were married. What no one knew however, was that they had a daughter."
Kim gasped. "I really don't want to know what that would look like."
Zordon smiled. "Her name was Scarlette Repulsa, Empress of all evil. She appeared around the same time you woke up. She had Goldar as her servant, and he had been following you and Tommy and the twin's around, watching your every move, to see what you did all day. One day, without warning, he appeared out of nowhere in Tommy's basement, and when he was gone, he had taken the four of you with him.
"No one knew what to do. They went up stairs. It was Tommy's rangers, and their technical assistant. They had heard a loud crash. What they found up there surprised everyone."
"Well, who was it?" Kim asked impatiently.
"Patience Kim. It was Ann and David. Except they weren't two years old anymore. They were teenagers, from the future. They had come back to help, because, well, because in the future, you were dead, and Tommy had disappeared." Kim's eyes widened, she was dead, and Tommy was missing. What would happen to her children?
"Ann and David were being raised by Trini and Billy. But Billy was able to bring me back, somehow, and you came back in some kind of spirit form. It was different than now though, you were more like a ghost. Any way, the twin's went to the past, to save you, and to make sure they could bring their father back. They wanted nothing more than to have a real family, and they wanted to give Billy and Trini the chance to have a family too. You have two amazing children, Kim, make sure that you realize that for yourself when you go back. They saved the whole world from destruction.
"They were able to rescue themselves from Rita's old dark dimension, and in the process, rescue Tommy from the evil spell Scarlette put him under. However, when they got back, they had been too late to save you." At this point, Kim cut him off.
"That, is impossible. I saw myself before, and I will have three more children."
"I know. But you didn't let me finish. Anyway, they saw that you were dead, and it had truly been an accident. You had been disguised as a monster, and you were under a spell. Scarlette sent you to destroy the power rangers, knowing that they would defeat you. Your friends technically killed you. Jason was just about ready to kill himself when everyone got back. But, the twelve people who had been sent to save the four of you originally from the moon palace all possessed the power of the Ninjetti, Tommy made the number thirteen.
"Ann and David had an idea. Their younger selves had been sent upstairs when Haley found out that you were dead, she didn't want them to see you. But Ann and David knew that the four of them together and with Tommy and Kat would be able to bring you back, and they did. As soon as your heart was beating again however, there was a flash of light, and when it was gone, the older twins were gone. Nobody saw them again for about fourteen years."
"I am so confused." Kim said, putting her head in her hands. "What does any of this have to do with the monster now?"
"The evil now, is Scarlette. The rangers weren't able to destroy her fourteen years ago. She disappeared, but now she is back, to finish what she started."
"But what does she want?" Kim asked.
"She wants the falcon." Zordon said simply. "She believes that together, the two of them will be unstoppable. And she is mostly correct. They will be very powerful together, but the crane is the falcon's soul mate. You, Kat, or any of your children would be able to save him. For that reason, she wanted all of you dead fourteen year ago. Well, not Kat really. Scarlette didn't know about her, and she still doesn't. Besides, Tommy chose you over Kat. The only claim Kat has to being able to save him, is that she possesses the spirit of the crane."
"So, if Scarlette were to attack again, and take Tommy, then myself, together with Kimberly, Ann, David, Jason, and um…I don't exactly now the other two boy's names."
"They are Willie and Zachary. And yes, all of you could save him, and with his assistance destroy her forever." Zordon said. "But I do not know if the situation will arise when they need to be told of your existence."
Zordon looked at the confused look on her face. "David will know tomorrow about you, and Tommy will probably eventually find out."
"I highly doubt that." Kim said smiling. "He is so oblivious to everything."
Zordon smiled. "How very right you are, Kim. And Willie and Zachary do not know about the existence of the power ranges yet. Wait, no, I should re-phrase that. They know that the power rangers exist, they do not know that their parents were some of the original power rangers, and they do not know that their sister and two of their brothers, and some of their friends are the current power rangers. And they do not need to know. If too many people know, it could be dangerous."
"I agree. It's dangerous enough already that Kimberly and Jason and Tommy know." Kim started.
"What?! How do they know?" Zordon said, very surprised.
"Well, obviously, Kimberly knew, but Jason and Tommy guessed because of the communicator's the kids were wearing."
"They are more observant than I thought they could be." Zordon said thoughtfully.
"I was very surprised when Kimberly said that they guessed it. Tommy and Jason never were very, oh what's the word, I know, they were never very tactful."
Zordon laughed. Apparently he agreed with Kim. "Well, should we continue the tour?"
"What else do you have for me to see?" Kim asked curiously. "I think you showed me all of the zords."
"I could show you the inside of one of them. How about the leader's?" Zordon asked.
"OH, Ok. I've always wanted to see what is so different about the inside of the team leader's zord."
Kim started walking towards the lion zord, she stopped when she noticed Zordon wasn't anywhere near her. "Uh, Zordon? Where are you?"
"Kim. What are you doing over here?" Zordon asked. Kim pointed at the lion zord, and Zordon smiled understandingly. "Oh, didn't I mention, Jason isn't the leader of the team. No, some people seem to like to keep to the family tradition of breaking tradition."
"What?"
"The pink ranger, Ann, is the leader of this team."
"No way!" Kim said excitedly. "That is so incredibly cool. The pink ranger is in charge. Yes!"
"I knew that would be your reaction. Yes, the pink leader is in charge. Like father like daughter, except for the being the pink ranger part of course."
Kim smiled. "So, do I get to see the zord or what?"
So Zordon led her over to the dove zord, and Alpha started to explain to her the various components of the zord. The rest of the day was spent with Kim insisting that she wouldn't mind it if Alpha showed her everything about all of the zords.
Now, Kim reasoned, when she went back, she would be able to have a conversation with Billy without having to have Trini or someone there as an interpreter. Though of course, she hadn't exactly had any conversations with Billy in a while. He was currently living and working on Aquitar, where he worked with the Aquitian rangers.
She still saw Trini from time to time though. Trini was a reporter at the newspaper in Angel Grove. Well, Kim thought to herself, she had been seventeen years ago. Who knew what she did now? Kim would find out soon enough though, when she met some of the children of the people she had just left behind in another time.
a/n-so how many times do you think i can tell that same story? i don't think it is told again, but each time it was told, it was from a different perspective.
