Chapter 18: Help

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Kimberly shouted. She shrieked when the root started to break some more. Tommy was trying to defeat the monster and to get to Kimberly in time.

"KIM!" Tommy shouted.

Kimberly tried to pull herself up, but the branch broke some more. "This can't be happening!" Her mind screamed. Just then, the branch broke. "TOMMY!" She screamed.

"KIMBERLY!" Tommy shouted.

Kimberly closed her eyes waiting to hit the hard ground, but instead, she felt someone grab her. She opened her eyes and looked down. "Need a hand?" A voice asked. Kimberly looked up and a smile came across her face.

"How did you know?" She asked.

"Had a feeling," he replied.

Kimberly smiled and she was placed back on the ground and threw her arms around the person that saved her with a smile. "Andros," she murmured. Andros hugged her back with a grin.

"Got a call from Hayley asking for backup, Andros and I got here as soon as we could," Ashley answered.

Tommy was then thrown over to them. "Tommy!" Kimberly gasped. She ran over to him. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied.

Kimberly looked at the monster with a glare. "You tell Katherine to give me back my child," she ordered.

"I don't take orders from you," the monster snapped.

"SPIRAL SABER BOOSTER MODE!" Andros shouted.

Kimberly placed a hand on Andros's shoulder. "Don't shoot," she told him. Andros looked over at her. Kimberly looked back at the monster. "My friend here has fire power that can blast you into oblivion," she commented. The monster sneered at her. "Now, you tell Katherine, that if she doesn't. I have friends in high places that have ways to finding her. There's no place in the world she can hide from me," Kimberly threatened.

"Your message will be delivered," the monster snapped.

It disappeared and Kimberly let out a sigh. "POWER DOWN!" Tommy, Andros, and Ashley shouted. Kimberly smiled and hugged Ashley.

"How's Cindy?" She asked.

"The happy little girl she should be," Ashley replied.

Just then, Tommy and Kimberly's communicators went off. "What's going on, Hayley?" Tommy asked.

"Guys, it's Hannah, she's awake," Hayley replied.

"Awake!" Kimberly gasped.

Andros placed a hand on Kimberly's shoulder. "Let's go," Tommy told them. They nodded and went to the hospital.

(Reefside Memorial)

Kimberly came in and saw Hannah sitting up in bed staring out the window. "Hannah," she whispered. Hannah looked up and Kimberly hugged her daughter tight. "Thank God!" Kimberly sobbed. She held her daughter tight with the tears falling down her face.

"I'm sorry, mom, I'm so sorry," Hannah sobbed.

Kimberly pulled back. "Sorry about what, sweetheart?" She asked. She wiped the tears away from Hannah's face.

"I failed you, mom, I failed," Hannah replied.

She knew exactly what she was talking about. "Oh, hun, it wasn't your fault," Kimberly assured her.

"Kylie was my responsibility," Hannah insisted.

"Zeltrax hit you from behind. It was a low blow, but it wasn't your fault," she answered.

"I'm a Power Ranger."
"You're human."

Hannah let out another sob. Kimberly wiped the tears from her face. "You listen to me okay? We will get Kylie back. We'll all be a big family okay? You, Tommy, Kylie, Hunter, Blake, and me. We'll all be the completed family we've always wanted," Kimberly vowed. Hannah hugged Kimberly and the young woman kissed her daughter's hair and let out a sigh.

(Hart Home)

Kimberly was sitting in the living room when Andros and Ashley came in. "How are the kids?" Kimberly asked.

"They're fine. I think they'll be okay with us staying here with you for awhile," Ashley replied.
"Guys, you two have a life of your own. I don't need you two to take care of me," Kimberly insisted.

"Kim, I've watched Kylie grow up just as much as any of the other Rangers you've known," Andros answered.

She nodded her head slowly and sat back. "I feel so…empty. Something I haven't felt before," Kimberly commented. Ashley placed a hand on Kimberly's shoulder.

"Andros has the computers online and searching all over the place for her. Your father has scanners going. Wes and Eric have the Silver Guardians scanning everywhere. Cole's got animals out there searching. Cam's got his computers going. We're going to find her," Ashley assured her.

Kimberly let out a small sob. "I just want my baby back," she whispered. Andros sat next to her and they both embraced her.

(Kat's Lair)

Kat hissed when she heard the message. "She can't touch me," she hissed. She looked over at Kylie and stood next to the unconscious child. "What makes you so important? Huh? What makes you and your pathetic mother so much better than me?" she demanded. The girl was silent and the energy was still being drained from her. Kat looked at the young girl's arm and saw the birthmark on her shoulder fading. An evil sneer came across her face. "I will win. I'll destroy you, your sister, your brothers, and I'll kill your parents last," she laughed.

"I'll get my revenge on Dr. Tommy Oliver at last," Zeltrax laughed.

Kat walked over to Zeltrax and touched his helmet. "Of course, my dear friend, we will have our revenge and the world will be ours," she answered. Zeltrax laughed evilly and they looked over at the young girl they knew was the key to the future.
