Chapter 19: Fighter

Kimberly woke up early the next morning and looked at the clock. "Six fifteen," she mumbled. She got up and walked over to her closet. She pulled on a pink tank top, blue jeans, white sneakers, she pulled her hair back in a braid. She removed her communicator and morpher. She silently walked by the guest room and Hannah's room. She made her way down the stairs and left the house.

She made her way to the park and she stood in the middle. "KATHERINE!" She shouted. She looked around feeling the anger pulsing through her veins. "YOU TOOK MY CHILD AWAY FROM ME!" She shouted. No answer and it was making the Pink Ranger angrier with each second. "I CHALLENGE YOU! RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!" Kimberly shouted.

"About time," Kat sneered.

Kimberly spun around and looked at Kat. "You took my daughter away from me," she hissed. The evil woman shrugged her shoulders slightly.

"You took Tommy away," Kat answered.

"What?" Kimberly asked.

Kat got up from the tree she was leaning against. "You ruined any chance of Tommy being mine. I thought I did when you went to Florida, but then Trini called me and told me everything. I knew that if I told Tommy, there wouldn't be a chance for us," Kat explained. Kimberly felt like someone just stabbed her in the heart.

"Tommy always loved me," Kimberly insisted.

"Yes and that was pathetic."

Kat took her staff and hit the ground with the end. Kimberly suddenly couldn't move. "Your precious Kylie…that brat I tried to kill," Kat sneered. Kimberly bit her tongue standing strong. "She's dying…and you know it," Kat taunted.

"Stop it," Kimberly hissed.

"It's true. Ever ounce of strength is being drained from her and you can feel it."

"Shut up."

Kat laughed. "You can feel it," she cackled. Kimberly closed her eyes and her body glowed pink. She broke the freezing spell and she glared at Kat.

"You're tyranny on my family ends here," she snapped.

Kimberly ran and did a flying side kick, making Kat fall flat on her back. Her staff fell out of her hand and Kimberly grabbed it. "NO!" Kat shouted. Kimberly grinned as she slammed the bottom of the staff to the ground, making her disappear. "NO!" Kat shouted again. She then used her magic to go back to the lair.

(The Lair)

Kimberly looked around and she gasped to find Kylie. "Kylie!" She gasped. She ran over to her daughter and saw that she was pale, her breathing was shallow, her skin was cold, and her pulse was weak. "Oh, sweetheart," she whispered. She touched her daughter's face. "Baby, say something to mommy," she insisted. No answer and Kimberly felt her heart get torn into pieces. Kimberly saw the machine and she ran over to it. She shook her head. "Screw this," she mumbled. She jumped up and kicked the machine, making it stop. She ran back over to Kylie and picked her up.

"Stop right there," Kat ordered.

Kimberly held her daughter close to her. "You're a monster," she hissed. Kat picked up her staff.

"Give me that child," Kat ordered.

"Over my dead body," Kimberly answered.

"That can be arranged."

Kimberly glared at Kat while holding Kylie. "KIM!" A voice shouted. Kimberly looked up to see Ryan running in. Kimberly ran over to him and placed Kylie into his arms.

"Get her out of here," Kimberly insisted.

Ryan nodded and handed her, her morpher. "You're going to need this," Ryan commented. Kimberly kissed his cheek.

"Get her out," she insisted.

Ryan nodded again. "I'll come back for you," he told her. She shook her head.

"Don't," she insisted.

Kimberly gasped when a blast landed near them. "GO!" She shouted. Ryan ran out of the lair with Kylie in his arms. Kimberly looked at Kat with a glare. "This is it for you," she hissed. She held her hands up. "NINJA RANGER POWER! PINK RANGER POWER!" She shouted. Kat sneered and charged at Kimberly.

(Tommy's House)

Tommy looked up when a morpher Ryan came running in with Kylie in his arms. "Kylie! Where did you find her?" Tommy asked. Ryan handed Kylie to Tommy.

"Kimberly found her, she's still in there," Ryan replied.

"What?" Hunter asked.

(The Lair)

Kimberly cried out in pain when Kat's staff hit her in the stomach. "Should've stayed in Miami, Pinky," Kat sneered. Kimberly held her chest and winced in pain.

"You can't win this fight, Kat, you can never beat me. I have something you can never have," Kimberly answered.

"Oh yeah? And what's that?" Kat asked.

Kimberly looked at her with a grin. "I have people who love me," she answered.

(Tommy's House)

"Where is she, Hayley?" Tommy demanded. Hayley was searching for her signal. Tommy looked at Ryan. "Where is she?" He asked. Ryan walked over to a map and pointed near the Cliffside.

"Here," he replied.

Tommy looked at the other Rangers. "Let's go," he insisted. They nodded and stood up. "NINJA RANGER POWER! WHITE RANGER POWER!" Tommy shouted.

"BLACK RANGER POWER!" Trent shouted.

"YELLOW RANGER POWER!" Kira shouted.

"BLUE RANGER POWER!" Ethan shouted.

"RED RANGER POWER!" Conner shouted.

They ran out of the lab to get to Kimberly before it was too late.

(The Lair)

Kimberly pulled out her saber and tried to block Kat's hit when someone kicked her from behind. "I'm not the only one with friends," Kat sneered. Kimberly held her side and looked up to see Zeltrax there. Zeltrax laughed and kicked Kimberly's side, making Kimberly hit the wall hard.

"HANG ON KIMBERLY!" Tommy shouted.

He stood in front of her and looked at Zeltrax. "I had a feeling that you were behind this," Tommy snapped.

"I still have revenge to take care of," Zeltrax answered.

Conner ran over to Kimberly. "Miss Hart, you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine," she replied.

Tommy looked over at Kimberly and held his communicator up. "Haylay, teleport us back," he instructed. Soon, six streaks of light disappeared.

(The Lab)

Kimberly de-morphed and bypassed the others. She walked over to the medical table to look at Kylie. Tears welled up in her eyes as she picked Kylie up and stroked her hair. She sat down on the medical bed and closed her eyes. Pink energy left Kimberly's body and into Kylie's. "What is she doing?" Conner asked.

"She's giving Kylie her energy," a voice replied.

They looked up to see Jason coming down the stairs. "Kylie's got the powers of the crane and the falcon. She was born with that. Kimberly's giving her, her crane energy," Jason informed. Tommy knew what Jason was hinting and stood up. He walked over to Kimberly and sat next to her. He pressed his forehead against the side of her head and held Kylie's hand. Soon, a white energy left his body and was gong into Kylie's.

"Now what do we do?" Ethan asked.

"We wait," Ryan replied.

"I'll contact everyone, tell them that Kylie's home," Hayley informed.

They nodded and they just sat there, watching Tommy and Kimberly try to save their daughter from death.
