Chapter28: Heart of the Team

They walked back to the lab and Tommy placed Kimberly's lifeless body on the medical table. Kylie ran downstairs. "Kylie…I don't think…" Tommy trailed off. Kylie got up on the medical bed and looked at her mother's body. Kylie touched her cold face and tears fell down her face. She placed her head on Kimberly's shoulder and just laid there with her arm draped over her mother's stomach. "Kylie, sweetheart," Tommy murmured. Kylie didn't look up, she didn't even move. Hannah set her helmet down and she walked over to her little sister. She tried to pick her up, but the young girl had a death grip on Kimberly.

"NO!" Kylie shouted.

Kylie buried her head into Kimberly's shoulder. Tommy let out a sigh and he held Kimberly's hand and just looked into his wife's still beautiful face. He stroked her cold face and then a thought came into his mind. "Kylie, sweetie, could you get up for me?" He asked. Kylie didn't move and Tommy moved to pick her up again. Kylie finally let Kimberly go and she held onto Tommy. Tommy closed his eyes as he held his daughter close. "Guys, I have an idea," he informed. They looked over at their mentor.

"What is it, dad?" Hannah asked.

Tommy walked over to Hayley and placed Kylie into her arms. "When Kimberly and I got the powers years ago, we had to save our leader, Zordon, but the thing is. We don't use our Ninjetti powers," Tommy explained.

"Then what do we use?" Trent asked.

"Use the power from your hearts. Kimberly was the heart of the team…" Tommy trailed off.

He looked over at Hayley. "Hayley, contact the Lightspeed, Time Force, Wild Force, and Ninja teams. Tell them what's happened and have them come over here," he instructed.

"Right," she answered.

She turned back to the computer and went to contact the other Rangers. "What do we do?" Kira asked.

"Just do as I do," he replied.

He walked over to the medical bed and held his arms out. One by one each teenager stood up and stood side by side with their arms out. Tommy closed his eyes and he tapped into the powers that were in his heart. They watched as a white falcon came from Tommy's chest, flew around, and entered Kimberly. They closed their eyes and then a snake, leopard, panther, eagle, and monkey went into Kimberly.

As time went by, one by one each team gave Kimberly the powers from their hearts. Once the teams were finished, Kylie got up from Hayley's arms and she walked over to Kimberly again. She kissed Kimberly's cheek and they watched as the birthmark on Kylie's shoulder glowered. Then a falcon and a crane left her heart and into Kimberly's heart. Kylie looked over at Tommy with a smile and she walked over to Hannah. Tommy walked back over to Kimberly and stroked her face. "I love you Beautiful," he whispered. He leaned forward and kissed her. He backed away and watched as her color came back, she was breathing, and her pulse was stronger. She slowly started waking up. "Hey Beautiful, time to wake up," he murmured. Kimberly opened her eyes and a smile came across her face.

"Tommy," she whispered.

They hugged each other tight. After a minute, Tommy let her go and Kimberly smiled to see all four of he kids. She hugged them tight with a sigh. "Don't scare us like that again," Hunter told her.

"I'll try not to," she answered.

Kimberly let them go and she was reunited with the friends. Lucas walked over and hugged her. "Didn't expect you back from the future," she commented. Lucas pulled back.

"You kidding? Whenever it's about you I always come running. Always," he answered.

Lucas touched her cheek with a grin.

Tommy stood back and watched as Kimberly was reunited with her old friends. He smiled to see that his wife was beaming to see them all once again. However, as he watched her, he couldn't help but feel the fear of when he almost lost her. How close he was of never seeing that beautiful face, hearing her laugh, seeing her smile. He saw how shattered her children were when she died. He knew that Kimberly held this family together and if anything were to happen, it would fall apart.

That evening, Kimberly was walking along the beach with Lucas by her side. "Hmm, this seems oddly familiar," he commented. Kimberly laughed and shook her head.

"Married woman here," she reminded.

"Right, sorry we weren't able to make it to the wedding," he apologized.

Kimberly shook her head. "Don't worry about it, Lucas. You have things to do in the future, you can't run back here every time," she told him. Lucas nodded. "So, have you met that special girl yet?" She asked. Lucas grinned and he rubbed the back of his neck. "Nadira huh?" She asked. He looked over at her.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"When you were helping the Wild Force team, I saw how you were watching her," she replied.

Lucas smiled and he held her hand. "I'm glad that you're happy, Kimberly. That's all I've ever wanted for you. I just wanted you to be happy," he told her. Kimberly nodded and she hugged him tight. "I just want you to be happy," he repeated. Kimberly smiled.

"I'm very happy. I got what I wanted," she answered.

She pulled back and she placed a hand on Lucas's face. "You helped me love again, Lucas. I won't be able to repay you for that. Thank you," she murmured. Lucas took her hand in his and kissed the top of it.

"LUCAS!" Katie called.

Kimberly looked over at the ship before looking back at Lucas. "Well, I guess this is it…again," she commented. Lucas nodded his head slowly.

"Yeah," he agreed.

Kimberly hugged him again with a sigh. "Take care of yourself," she murmured. Lucas nodded.

"I will," he answered.

Lucas kissed her cheek and he walked towards the ship. Kimberly wrapped her arms around herself and watched as the three Time Force Rangers went back to the future. Tommy walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You okay?" He asked. She nodded her head slowly.

"Yeah, I'm okay," she replied.

Tommy kissed her neck with a smile. "I love you, Beautiful," he murmured. Kimberly turned in his arms and she stroked his cheek.

"I love you too, Handsome," she answered.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.
