disclaimer-i'd say this wasn't mine if i was in the mood to be in the mood to not lie and other things which have names that i can't think of at the present moment.
Chapter Forty Five-A Totally Pointless Visit To The Moon Palace, Because We All Know That In The End, The Good Guys Always Win.
The barrier was down.
The plan was set.
The teams were asssembled.
The weaponary had been tested.
The pizza had been ordered.
The milk had been bought.
The dry cleaning had been picked up.
The dog-
Wait, scratch those last few things. Wrong list. Tommy really has to work on is orginizational skills. Kim thought to herself. Although it is nice to know that he has progressed to actually being able to make lists. But seriously, we're about to fight this huge battle with Scarlette, that COnner is convinced is going to be too easy to win, and Tommy had to go mess up our check list with his...well...I honestly have no idea what that is a list of. All i know is that that is Rocky's handwriting where it says that the pizza was ordered. Man, that guy's stomach is bottomless. He's not even going to be here and he ordered himself a pizza!
"Hello. Earth to Kim." Someone waved their hand in front of her face. Kim jerked and looked up to see Jason standing there.
"Oh, hey Jase. What's up?"
"Everyone's getting ready to leave." Jason said. "You ready to go?"
"Do I have a choice?" Kim asked sarcastically. Jason opened his mouth to answer her. "Wait, don't answer that question. I'm going to use my vast mind-reading skills and tell you what you were going to say."
Jason looked at her strangely.
"You always have a choice. And if You don't want to go no one would think any the less of you. And people would commend you for youyr decision. So, if you really don't want to go on this mission to save the world from the most evil creature the universe have ever faced, don't. But if you stay behind I will personally kill you because I am Jason Scott and I would do anything-just like my best friend Tommy Oliver, who you happen to know quite well-to get back in uniform."
Kim smiled brightly at Jason. "Did I get it right?"
"You have been spending way too much time with Rocky." Was all Jason said.
"No I haven't." Kim contradicted. "Ann rubbed off on me after all that time. This is a warning for the future, my teenage daughter is a bad influence."
Jason continued to give Kim his trademark 'I think you are crazy, but am too nice of a friend to tell you what I think' look all throughout Tommy's pre-battle pep speech, which did nobody any good, because no one was bothering to even pay attention.
So finally, it was time to go to the moon. Time to face Scarlette for what would hopefully be the last time.
About Two Minutes Later, Just outside of the Moon Palace
They had split up into three different groups. Kat's group would go in first, because she knew exactly where the throne room was. Rocky's group would follow Kat's, a few minutes behind them, as back-up. And Conner's group would keep watch from just under the balcony outside of the throne room. Altogether, it was a pretty good plan. One that they couldn't see any flaws in. But one that could be completely disasterous if anything went wrong.
Kat shot one last glance at Rocky before disappearing into the palace. Conner led his group around the outer wall, while Rocky gazed intently at his watch.
In the Moon Palace-Kat's group
Tommy followed closely behind Kat. Behind him was Kim, and behind her was Kira. Kat led them through passages, and doorways, never meeting any resistance. This could be a good sign. Scarlette might not know they were coming.
Just as they were turning one last corner, muffled sobs reached their ears. Searching the corners and shadows swuftly, they found a small girl, all in white, crouched down, crying. Kim approached her cautiously. She would recognize that hair anywhere.
"Crystal." Kim said softly. Crystal looked up.
"How-how do you know my-my name?" Crystal stuttered.
"Mommy and daddy sent me." Kim said, thinking quickly. "They told me to tell you that they miss you, and want you back."
"Bu-But 'Lettie said they didn't love me anymore." Crystal said.
"'Lettie lied." Kim said. "Mommy and daddy are waiting for you."
Crystal smiled.
"Now," Kim continued, "Can you tell us where we can find 'Lettie? We need to yell at her for making you cry."
That certainly hit the spot with little Crystal, who raised one arm and pointed at the closed door across the hall. The Throne Room.
"She's looking for Goldar. He never came home." Crystal offered. Then, a scowl crept onto her face. "I don't like him very much either. He's a big mean gold monkey."
Kim and Tommy glanced at each other and tried not to burst out laughing. Goldar definitely had that trademark description to him.
"Thanks Crystal." Kim said, standing back up. "We have to go talk to 'Lettie now, but we'll be back. There should be some more people following us in a few minutes. Try to stay out of their way, ok?"
Crystal nodded, and Kat led the group over to the door. Cautiously, she stuck her head in the room. From the sigh of relief that she let pass, everyone could tell tha the room was deserted. Leaving Crystal behind in the hallway, they all entered the room, as silently as possible.
"Where is she?" Kira asked softly.
"There's a room behind that door." Kat answered, noddin her head in the direction of a door in the corner. "It's a sort of study thing. She's probably in there, looking for Goldar."
"So what do we do now?" Kim asked. "We can't just rush into the study and attack her, can we?"
"Bad idea." Tommy said. "Ther probably isn't much space in there. Let's wait for Rocky's group to get here. They should be here soon, after we took the time to talk to Crystal and all."
No sooner had he said this, than Rocky, closely followed by Aisha and Trent, burst into the room. Tommy groaned.
"You couldn't have done that just a little softer, could you?"
"Huh?" Rocky said. "There was supposed to be some huge battle going on here right now."
"I knew we were forgetting something!" Kim said sarcastically. "Hey genius, if there's a huge battle, don't you think it would kinda help to have...gee...I don't know, an opponent?"
"You want anopponent?" A voice hissed from behind her.
"Oh, I just had to open my mouth, didn't I?" Kim asked the room at large.
Conner leaned against the outside of the palace, just looking at the two people in front of him, horror written all over his face. This was definitely the scariest moment of his life.
Billy and Ethan were discussing what size memory would be better for a personal computer. It was terrifying.
"Uh, guys?" Conner interrupted nervoucly, a few minutes later. He had just been looking into the throne room, and he didn't like what he saw.
"What?" Ethan and Billy asked at the same time.
"Look in there." Was all Conner said.
Apprehensively, the two inched forward and glanced into the throne room.
"Oh dear." Billy said softly. "That is quite terrible."
Scarlette had started attacking the rangers.
a/n-and that's all you're gonna get for now, cuz i'm really mad, cuz i haven't been getting that many reviews, and it really lowers the authors self-esteem if they don't know if people like what they are writing. but don't worry, it's not just with this story. but i'm still holding the next chapter hostage until further notice. and if some of you don't read author's notes, then too bad for you!
ok, so did i leave any of the ninjetti rangers out? i think i included everyone, but i have this suspicion that someone was forgotten somewhere along the lines. REVIEW AND TELL ME!!!!
