Chapter 24: Wanting Revenge

Kimberly had calmed down after the crying fit she had over what Hannah said to her. Tommy was comforting her when the phone rang. "I'll get it," she informed. She got up from Tommy's embrace and walked over to the phone. "Hello?" She asked.

"Is this Kimberly Hart?" The caller asked.

"Um…yes it is."

"This is Dr. Gregory from Reefside Hospital. We just had your daughter, Hannah, get brought into the emergency room."

Kimberly felt her heart stop. "W--What happened?" She asked.

"Your daughter was trying out the parallel bars when she missed the lower bar, she hit her head," the doctor replied.

"Oh my gosh…"

"I'd suggest you come down here."

"Thank you."

Kimberly hung up and she nearly collapsed, but luckily Tommy was there to catch her. "What happened?" He asked.

"Hannah missed the low bar on the parallel bars…she hit her head," she replied.

Kimberly felt a lump rise in her throat. "We should get to the hospital," he commented. She nodded her head slowly as she got up from the floor and they went to the hospital.

(Reefside Hospital)

Kimberly was in the waiting room getting really impatient. She walked up to the desk. "Excuse me, I want to see my daughter," she demanded.

"Patient's name?" The woman asked.

"For the hundredth time, Hannah Hart," Kimberly replied.

The woman nodded and went to find Hannah's file. "I'm sorry miss, I'm not permitted to let you see her until you've spoken to the doctor," she answered. Kimberly banged on the desk.

"I have been waiting here for almost an hour. I WANNA SEE MY DAUGHTER!" She shouted.

Tommy walked over and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Kimberly, it's okay," he assured her. Kimberly pushed his hands off her shoulders.

"Don't touch me, Tommy," she ordered.

She then went towards the door. "Kimberly where are you going?" Tommy asked. Kimberly spun around to look at him.

"I'm going after the woman who did this to my child," she replied.

"KIM!" Tommy shouted.

Kimberly didn't listen, she hurried out the door before another word could be said.

(Reefside Park)

Kimberly stood there. "NINJA RANGER POWER! PINK RANGER POWER!" She shouted. She morphed and looked around. "WHERE ARE YOU KATHERINE! COME OUT AND FIGHT ME!" Kimberly ordered.

"Tsk, tsk, you're always so impatient Kimberly," Kat commented.

Kimberly spun around. "You had to go after my children," she hissed.

"Hannah's not your daughter," Kat answered.

"She is mine. I raised her from a small child. I've taken care of her. I've loved her. She's my child. You had no right to try to take her away from me."

Kat laughed and threw a blast at Kimberly. Kimberly rolled out of the way. "You really think you can defeat me?" She asked. Kimberly stood up with a glare.

"I can certainly try," Kimberly replied.

She closed her eyes and her right hand glowed pink. She spun around. "PINK CRANE SABER!" She shouted. A saber appeared in her hand when she stopped spinning. "ANCIENT NINJETTI CRANE BLADE!" She shouted. Kat backed up when she saw the saber in Kimberly's hand. The hilt was pink with the crane's head with many ribbons tied around it's neck.

"What's with the ribbons?" Kat asked with a laugh.

Kimberly held the sword up. "Each one represents my greatest victories," Kimberly answered. She then charged at Kat with the saber in hand, only to have Kat block every attack. Kimberly raised the sword high above her head and struck down, hitting Kat in the shoulder. Kat hissed in pain and kicked Kimberly in the stomach. Kimberly got up again. "THIS IS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID TO ME!" Kimberly shouted. She swung her saber, Kat jumped back, but the saber went across her stomach. Kat fell to the ground in pain and she looked at Kimberly.

"This isn't over," she hissed.

Then Kat disappeared. Kimberly stood there for a minute before de-morphing. She then hurried back to the hospital.

(Reefside Memorial: 11: 30 pm)

Kimberly was still sitting by Hannah's bed and smiled when Hannah opened her eyes. "Mom?" Hannah asked. Kimberly bit back a sob as she stroked her daughter's hair.

"Hey baby," she whispered.

Hannah tried to sit up, but Kimberly had her lay back down. "Not now, sweetheart," she insisted. Hannah nodded her head slowly and then a sob escaped her throat.

"Mom…I'm sorry…I didn't mean what I said…" Hannah trailed off.

Kimberly shook her head and kissed Hannah's forehead. "Kat filled your head with lies and it clouded your judgement," she assured her.

"But I know better than that," Hannah told her.

Kimberly again shook her head and she held Hannah's hand. "The doctor said you're going to be okay. But he's going to keep you overnight just incase," she informed. Hannah nodded her head slowly.

"Mom…can you stay with me?" She asked.

"Wasn't planning on leaving."

"Like when I was a kid? When my mother first abandoned me?"

Kimberly smiled, knowing exactly what Hannah was talking about. She got into the bed and held her seventeen-year-old daughter. Hannah buried her head into Kimberly's shoulder and Kimberly rubbed circles into her back. "I love you mom," Hannah whispered. Kimberly smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you too Hannah," Kimberly answered.
