Chapter 26: The Last Stand Part I

Long months had gone by, Kat and Zeltrax's attacks were becoming more fierce and it was driving the Rangers back further and further. Kimberly was becoming worried about Kylie's safety, since Kat and Zeltrax were after her Crane and Falcon Powers.

One night, Kimberly was sitting on the couch looking over some papers when Tommy came in. "Hey," he greeted.

"Hey, babe," she answered.

Tommy kissed her cheek and sat next to her. "Which papers are these now?" He asked. Kimberly leaned back against his broad chest with a sigh.

"These would be the papers on the Aztec culture," she replied.

"Sounds…boring," he commented.

Kimberly giggled when he kissed her neck. "Tommy, don't," she giggled.

"Why not?" He asked.

"We have a daughter that's right upstairs," she replied.

Tommy sighed and pulled back with a sigh. "You're right," he answered. Kimberly smiled and leaned back in his arms while entwining her fingers with his. "Talked with Hunter?" He asked.

"Yep, they came back from their doctor's appointment a few hours ago. Baby's nice and healthy," she replied.

"Good. How does it feel to be the world's youngest grandma?" He teased.

Kimberly laughed and rolled her eyes. "I'm just happy that my son's happy," she answered. Tommy nodded just as their communicators went off. They got up and went downstairs.

Hayley looked up when they came downstairs. "What's going on, Hayley?" Kimberly asked.

"Kat's sent us a transmission," she informed.

She clicked on the message Kat left for them and Kat's face appeared on the screen. "Hello Rangers, it's time to see who'll win or who'll lose. Meet us at Muranthias," Kat instructed. Then the transmission was cut.

"What do we do?" Kimberly asked.

"We go to Muranthias," he replied.

She nodded her head slowly and they contacted the other Rangers. "And you guys have a new ways of getting there," she commented. Hayley typed something into the computer. "I've been constructing these for ages," she informed. Kimberly gasped when seven images came up.

"They're zords!" Kimberly gasped.

Hayley nodded with a smile. "Way to go, Hayley," Tommy congratulated. He kissed Hayley's cheek with a grin.

"We can get to Muranthias in no time," Kimberly commented.

Hayley smiled and turned around in her chair when they went to take off. Kimberly stopped and looked over at Hayley. "Hayley could you…" Kimberly trailed off.

"I'll watch Kylie," she assured her.

"Thanks," Kimberly answered.

Hayley watched them go and let out a sigh. "Good luck," she murmured.

All seven Rangers stood outside. "Ready?" Tommy asked.

"Oh yeah," Conner replied.
"NINJA RANGER POWER!" They shouted.

"WHITE RANGER POWER!" Tommy shouted.

"BLACK RANGER POWER!" Trent shouted.

"PINK RANGER POWER!" Kimberly shouted.

"BLUE RANGER POWER!" Ethan shouted.

"YELLOW RANGER POWER!" Kira shouted.

"RED RANGER POWER!" Conner shouted.

"GREEN RANGER POWER!" Hannah shouted.

They held up their weapons. "NINJETTI ZORDS!" They shouted. They watched as their zords arrived.

"Let's do it," Tommy told them.

They jumped into their zords. "Alright everyone, set a course for Muranthias," Tommy instructed.

"You got it," Kimberly answered.

They put in the coordinates, but then Kimberly and Tommy's screens beeped. "What's up, Hayley?" Kimberly asked.

"Someone wanted to speak to you," Hayley replied.

Kylie came on the screen with a smile. "Hey, baby," Kimberly greeted.

"Hey, kiddo, what's going on?" He asked.

"I love you, mommy, daddy. Get that evil lady," Kylie replied.

"You got it munchkin. You tell your brothers that I love them," Kimberly answered.

"Same here, kid," Tommy put in.

"I will. Catch ya on the flip side," Kylie told them.

Then she turned off the screen. Kimberly took a deep breath and leaned back against her seat. "Kim…you okay?" Tommy asked over the intercom.

"Yes, let's go," she replied.

They blasted off towards Muranthias.

(Muranthias)

Kat was standing there with an evil laugh. "I will finally have my revenge on Kimberly," she laughed. Zeltrax nodded laughing as well.

"I will get my revenge on Tommy Oliver," he answered.

Kat smiled and started walking around. "Well, Zeltrax. Things are looking to be on our side. I'll be able to kill Kimberly and that brat she calls her child and you can kill Tommy," she answered. Zeltrax placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Revenge is sweet my dear, revenge is sweet," he agreed.

(Crane Zord)

Kimberly winced when she felt the rush of anger run through her mind. "We're close," she whispered. She held her head and took a deep breath.

"Mom, put up your emotional wall," Hannah pointed out.

"Got it," Kimberly answered.

She put up the wall and she leaned back. "Mom, do you think that after defeating Kat that this curse will be broken?" She asked. Kimberly let out a sigh.

"I hope so, sweetheart," Kimberly replied.

"Mom…"

"Yeah."

"I have something to tell you."

"What's that sweetie."

Hannah took a deep breath on her end. "Before you contacted me, a coach came to the gymnastics gym," Hannah informed.

"Who was the coach?" Kimberly asked.

"Coach Schmidt," she replied.

Kimberly felt her heart stopped. "He spoke very highly of you, mom. Very highly, he recognized my routines to be the ones you taught me when I was a kid. When he asked me about it and I told him that you're my mother. He said I had such an honor to have you as my mother," Hannah explained. Kimberly bit her lip and lowered her head slightly.

"Yeah…and what did you say?" Kimberly asked.

Hannah sighed on her end. "I told him that I have the greatest mother in the universe and I could never be prouder," she answered. Kimberly smiled. "I mean it too mom, you're the greatest mom a kid could ever have. I love you mom," Hannah added.

"I love you too, sweetheart," Kimberly answered.

Tommy came over the intercom. "Kimberly, Hannah, we're there," he informed. Kimberly looked up to see the familiar island that she was taken to nine years ago.

"Oh my gosh," she whispered.

They got out of their zords and ran into the caves.

(The Caves)

Kat looked up with a laugh. "Welcome Rangers, it's time for you to meet your doom," she laughed. They all got in a guarding stance as mutants surrounded them.

"Here we go again," Kimberly mumbled.

"You with me?" Tommy asked.

Kimberly looked over at him and nodded. "I'm with you," she replied.
