Chapter 4: New Faces, New Friends
Tommy was over Kim's place a few days later. It was late October now, the 28th. Kimberly had just showered from gymnastic practice, standing in some jeans and her bra, as she put away the laundry that was suppose to be put away yesterday. Kimberly and Tommy were going for a late walk, whenever Kimberly finished dressing herself. Tommy was sitting on her bed, watching her.
"Can you believe Halloween is like days away?" Tommy closed her calendar/schedule book and put it on her nightstand table.
"I know," Kimberly said putting away some shirts and pants.
"So, what are you going to be this year, another princess?"
"NO!" Kimberly threw some socks at Tommy's face, but he blocked them.
"Right." Tommy put together the pairs of socks. Kimberly kissed his cheek and took them back.
"I was thinking about being the Mom from Addams Family, and you can be Gomez."
"Uh, I already have a costume remember."
"Not that ugly pirate suit you brought," Kimberly whined folding another shirt, pushing her dresser drawer closed.
"Hey, it was on sale! Only 30 bucks." Kimberly put away her dresses and was finally done with her clothes.
"Yeah, it looked like it was only 30 bucks!" Tommy grabbed and tickled her as she passed him. They fell to the bed kissing. Tommy moved some hair from Kim's face. "Maybe I'll be silly this year, and go as a jester or clown."
"You are too cute and sexy to be a clown. Besides, clowns scare you."
"Just their faces!" Tommy laughed. Kimberly pulled at the bottom of his shirt.
"Wait, when is your mother coming home?" Tommy asked stopping her hands
"She needs to stay at the art gallery late due to the opening of the Halloween show tomorrow. Pierre just finished up a very important piece. Might go for like 10 gran."
"10 thousand dollars for a painting!"
"Yep." Kimberly pulled Tommy's shirt completely off.
"I thought we were going out." Tommy kicked off his sneakers.
"Maybe later."
"I wish we could throw a Halloween party this year…" Kimberly undid his belt, as Tommy stroked the side of her face, pushing hair behind her ear. "A big one, at like a scary mansion, instead of babysitting."
"I love kids!"
"Hey, I love kids too! But this is Halloween…."
"I know, but this should be really fun, besides it's a school project. We have to do it." Tommy sighed and kissed her neck, as he undid her jeans.
"Hey, don't get me wrong, I love trick-or-treating very much. Free candy and cake."
"I knew you would say that."
"I am a big kid a heart."
"More like still a little boy."
"Now wait, nothing about me is little." Kimberly arched her eyebrow at him.
"Is that right?"
"Of course!" Tommy said fumbling with her bra clasp. "What is wrong with this thing?"
"Pull and separate, really Tommy. How many times must we do this before you remember that?"
"Maybe if you didn't wear them…"
"Ha!" Tommy finally got the front clasp undone and kissed the center of her chest.
"You're lucky I love you so much."
"I'm lucky? Mister, I lowered standards for you." Kimberly smirked at him.
"Lowered standard, eh! I'll show you!"
"Wait, Tom…mmy! No!" Tommy tickled her mercilessly before kissing her senseless.
Kimberly arrived to the Youth Center with Billy, Tommy of course, running a bit late. Kimberly was head to the Youth Center group, as Jason, Zack and Trini lead the Elementary school crowd.
"Happy Halloween everybody! Alright! We're going to have lots of fun going out trick-or-treating. But, remember, you have to sign your children in when you leave them and sign them out when you pick them up. That way the chaperones can keep track of all of them. Alright, let's have fun!" Kimberly took another box of candy from Billy. She poured some into a bowl. The kids would be waiting here for all the chaperones, leaving out at around the same time and head back later today. Billy and Kimberly discussed the upcoming Peace conference, both excited about who would be chosen. Billy was a bit hesitated to want to go, as a great A student, if he was chosen, what would happen to their Ranger team? Kimberly sighed. She had never thought about it that way, what if Billy was chosen? What if Tommy or she was chosen? Could they leave the team? She knew she couldn't, but then again, she hadn't been asked yet. Could she go?
Tommy came into the Youth Center.
"Hi guys!"
"Hi!" Kimberly handed him over a bag to help set up. "Isn't this great?"
"Yeah, the place looks amazing," Tommy said pouring some worms into a bowl. "Are the kids excited?"
"Of course! Look at them. They can't wait to go out trick-or-treating. Actually, this is a really big responsibility. I hope nothing goes wrong," Kimberly said looking at Tommy and Billy.
"With some many great chaperones around, what could possibly go wrong?" Ernie asked bringing over some more apples. Tommy looked at the others with a knowing eye. He took a worm from the bowl and ate it. Kimberly slapped his hand away, as he got some more.
"Hey!"
"Later!" Tommy took another worm as Kimberly poured Red Hots into a red bowl.
"We still just have a few more people to wait on, then we can all go out," Kimberly said.
"Good, I want some candy." Kimberly laughed.
Zedd sent a group of putties to pose as children and get Tommy away from the rest. Zedd threw his very own evil Halloween monster bash for Tommy. Tommy was teleport to an empty gravesite dimension where he had a battle Zedd's scary monsters. Tommy, unable to morph, so stood no match for them.
Billy and Kimberly were the last groups to arrive back to the Youth Center.
"Hey, Ernie, have you seen Jason, Zack or Trini?" Kimberly asked.
"Uh no. They must still be at the elementary school."
"Okay. What about Tommy?"
"Uh no." Kimberly made a face as she got a scary vibe go up her back. Billy rubbed Kim's back.
"What's wrong?"
"Something is wrong with Tommy?" Kimberly and Billy had noticed that all of their kids had been accounted for, but Tommy wasn't still back. "Billy, if all our kids are accounted for, then whose with Tommy?"
"I don't know. Let's try and contact him."
"Right." Kimberly and Billy looked around before going to a corner. "Tommy? Tommy? Tommy! Billy, he's not answering! Ooo, I don't like this."
"Let's go to the Command Center." They look around before teleporting to the Command Center. Kimberly and Billy found out the bad news about Tommy. . Jason, Zack and Trini couldn't leave the elementary school, because all the children hadn't been picked up. Kimberly couldn't just stand there and watch the love of her life get his butt kicked, so with Billy, they morphed to help Tommy. With the help of the Pink and Blue ranger, Tommy was saved from the eerily graveyard. They were able to get out and defeat the Pumpkin monster again.
Billy, Kimberly and Tommy returned to the Youth Center.
"Man, I am sure happy that party is over with," Tommy said.
"Me too." They sat at the Juice bar after another long day. Tommy's hand went straight for the candy. Ernie told them how very proud of them he was, with the chaperones doing such a great job, and the kids today having so much fun.
"They did have fun," Kimberly said. Groans and moans came into the center, as Bulk and Skull walked in.
"No more candy, please Bulky no more candy!"
"Maybe not everybody." They laughed.
"We didn't find any real Power Rangers, I think I'm gonna be sick."
"Awww, what's the matter, did you eat too much?" Kimberly asked with a sad face. She pulled the bowl of candy from in front of Tommy and lifted it in front of Bulk and Skull. "Want some more candy?" Tommy held up a worm and wiggled it at them with a smile. Bulk and Skull turned green and held back from puking.
"No more candy, ever!" They rushed out. Kimberly, Billy, and Tommy were laughing.
"I guess they had a little too much trick-or-treating." Tommy laughed.
"This is the one time, I have to agree with them." Kimberly laughed.
Now, Saturday, November 2nd, the Rangers were spending an afternoon in the park. They were listening to music, watching a little tv and just hanging out, as teenagers tend to do on the weekends.
"That ninja competition sounds fierce," Tommy said as the news cut to the tournament.
"But those guys were obnoxious jerks."
"Obnoxious yeah, but undefeated. I wonder who is facing them?"
"A group of guys from Stone Canyon High."
" Oh, yeah? That school in the next town?"
"Yeah, I read about it in the paper," Billy said.
"Oh cool. I hope they teach those guys a lesson." Kimberly was leaning up against Tommy's chest, as Billy talked about a new invention. Tommy not having a clue what he was talking about. Kimberly slightly understood Billy a lot more since their bodies were switched last year. Zack, Jason and Trini had to leave early, so said their goodbyes.
"This was great," Kimberly said as they walked down around the park.
"Yeah."
"Hey look!" Billy pointed. A baby carriage was rolling down, with a man yelling behind it.
"Oh my gosh!"
"Let's go guys!" Tommy and them raced after that baby carriage.
The carriage raced down the paths and down the hills of the park. Kimberly gasped. The baby was just about to go over an edge, when Kimberly literally flipped in for the save. Another girl arriving at the same time to stop the carriage with Kimberly.
"Gotcha, hey!" Kimberly lifted the small boy, Jacob, out the carriage into her arms. "Hi," Kimberly said to the young teen.
"Hi. I'm glad he's alright."
"Hi, we gotcha huh, we saved you." Kimberly bounced the toddler on her hip. Jacob's father, Mr. Anderson, arrived and took his son in for a big hug.
"Jacob, oh! How can I ever thank you?"
"I'm just glad we got there in time," Kimberly said rubbing the baby's leg.
"Yeah, you were truly awesome," a young guy said to Kimberly. He was on his roller blades with the girl and other teen boy trying to save Jacob.
"Hey, you guys did some awesome things on those skates. Oh, I'm Tommy, this is Kimberly and this is my friend, Billy."
"Hi!"
"Hey."
"Hi."
"I'm Rocky," the guy said in red.
"I'm Adam," the young Asian in black said.
"Hi, Aisha." They all shook hands.
"Hank Anderson, and this little speed demon is Jacob." Bulk and Skull arriving as usual a bit late for the rescue. Everyone laughed, as they were out of breath. Mr. Anderson left with his son, saying they maybe had a bit too much fun in the park.
The teens talk for a bit. Tommy found out that they were from Stone Canyon high. He asked them if they were here for the tournament, which all 3 of the teens just smiled and nodded.
"Well, I guess we will see you there."
"Bye!"
"Bye!" Bulk and Skull still sitting there, mocked them. Tommy, Billy and Kimberly left.
Kimberly met up at Tommy's place with Billy.
"I'm gonna go see what is keeping our fearless leader," Kimberly said going inside. Jason and the other 2 would be meeting them at the Youth Center. Billy sat on the porch. Kimberly called for Tommy.
"Coming!" She went downstairs.
"Tiger, why are you always late?" Tommy's room was a mess, as he was under his bed. "Tommy? What happened?"
"I can't find my other shoe?"
"Well, maybe if you cleaned up the place better…"
"Okay Mom." Kimberly sat on his bed and crossed her legs.
"Why don't you just get another pair?"
"Because those are my favorite, help me look." Kimberly sighed.
"Fine." She helped him. After 2 minutes, Kimberly teased him when she found it in plain sight. "You blind bat. Are you sure you don't want me to borrow a pair of Billy's glasses?"
"Ha ha, ha!" Tommy snatched the right shoe from her hands. He put it on.
"I can't help you are blind." Tommy tickled her. Kimberly fell to her back, laughing loudly with Tommy on top of her. Billy stood at the top of the stairs watching the couple kissing before clearing his throat. Kimberly and Tommy looked up his way.
"Is this why we are going to be late?"
"We're coming."
"You know, you looked great with a baby in your arms."
"Yeah right," Kimberly said.
"You did." Kimberly smiled at Tommy. They kissed.
"Come on. We can talk about that a few years from now."
They attended the Ninja Competition Finals at Angel Grove Youth Center. They watched a good match, as the Stone Canyon ninjas were taking down the obnoxious undefeated team. Kimberly was surprised to see who the team from Stone Canyon was.
"Wow, look. So, that's why we didn't see them in the crowd."
"Way to go guys!" She cheered with Tommy and Billy. After the match was won, the ninja teens, Mr. Anderson and his son had to be heading back. Tommy was interested in setting up a day where they all hung out again, which Rocky, Adam and Aisha were glad to do one day. Tommy, Billy and Kimberly said goodbye to all and walked away.
Lord Zedd has devious plans for the winners of the martial arts contest. He sent Goldar and some putties to go to Earth and kidnap the winners of the tournament. Goldar appeared before the ninjas. Aisha screamed, causing Kimberly and the others to look back.
"Oh no!"
"Goldar," Billy said. Tommy turned to see putties.
"We have to help them."
"Let's go guys," Tommy said. They fought the putties, but Goldar took Rocky, Aisha, Adam and Mr. Anderson to Zedd's Dimension of Despair. Tommy, Kimberly and Billy rushed to find their new friends taken. They teleported to the Command Center. They found out the ninja teens and Mr. Anderson were taken by Goldar. Kimberly wonders about the baby, but finds him in unlikely babysitters, Bulk and Skull, but they knew the baby was safe with them. Zordon tells them that Lord Zedd wishes to turn the Ninja into his own fighting team.
In the Dimension of Despair, Aisha works on the lock, that has all 4 of them chained up. Putties around, watching them to make sure they don't get away. Zedd decides since the Ninjas have such a strong resistance to becoming evil, he'll have to buy some time by creating a toxic monster. He creates the Terror Bloom monster to wage war on the Rangers and distract them from save their new friends.
The alarm in the Command Center goes off.
"What now?" Tommy asked.
"LORD ZEDD HAS SENT DOWN HIS NEWEST MONSTER, THE TERROR BLOSSOM TO FREEZE ALL OF ANGEL GROVE AND EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE WORLD."
"Oh no, we have to stop him," Trini said.
"But what about our friends?" Kimberly asked.
"LORD ZEDD IS TRYING TO DISTRACTION YOU RANGERS FROM SAVING YOUR FRIENDS."
"Zordon, we have to do something now."
"How can we beat it?"
"FEAR NOT, RANGERS. TOMMY, BILLY AND KIMBERLY, YOU MUST CONTINUE YOUR MISSION TO SAVE THOSE TEENS. THE TALENT THOSE NINJAS POSSESS CANNOT FALL INTO ZEDD'S EVIL HANDS. TO COMBAT WITH ZEDD'S FREQUENCY, JASON, ZACK AND TRINI, YOU WIL USE A NEW TECHNIQUE CALLED JETTING INSTEAD OF TELPORTING. ALPHA WILL HELP YOU WITH ALL THE NECESSARY THINGS TO DO SO."
"Jetting will allow you to see where you are going," Alpha said.
"GOOD LUCK POWER RANGERS, AND MAY THE POWER PROTECT YOU."
"It's Morphing Time!" The Rangers morph to battle Zedd's latest monster and save their friends. Jason, Zack and Trini go to battle the Terror Blossom monster, as Kimberly, Billy and Tommy go to rescue their friends. The Rangers have to battle the monster's new friend, as it goes to sow its seeds and reproduce its evil on Earth. Aisha is able to get free, but the putties catch her and the others and redo the chains on them.
After defeat that monster with the zords, the Ranger find out the Terror Blossom still hasn't found the right heat source to germinate its seeds, but it won't take long, meanwhile Goldar has left a serpent near the teens. Once it transforms and bites the ninja teens, they will be evil and under Zedd's control to do whatever evil he wants. The Rangers have to yet again split into 2 teams to deal with each threat. Jason, Zack and Trini going to deal with the monster, Billy, Kimberly and Tommy going to save their friends.
Jason, Zack and Trini were frozen by the Terror Blossom, so the other rangers must leave the Dimension of Despair and go help out. They retreat back to the Command Center. Billy and Alpha work on a device to unfreeze their friends. There is a malfunction with the device and it doesn't help their friends.
"Tommy, we have to do something," Kimberly said taking his arm. "We don't have much time." Tommy sighed. In the Dimension, the snake has now turned from wooden to alive, and is heading straight for the ninja teens.
"I really hate snakes," Aisha said.
Billy continues to work with Alpha on the device, but can't find a solution.
"KEEP TRYING BILLY. YOU MUST FIND A WAY TO UNDO THE TERROR BLOSSOM'S SPELL."
"Zordon, what about Mr. Anderson and the others?"
"I'M SORRY TO SAY, THEIR TIME IS RUNNING OUT RANGERS. THE SERPENT OF DARKNESS HAS COMPETED IT'S TRANSFORMATION AND IS HEADING STRAIGHT FOR YOUR FRIENDS." Kimberly grabbed Tommy's arm and led him back over to the viewing globe. "ONCE THE 3 YOUNG TEENS ARE BITTEN, THEY WILL FOREVER BE FILLED WITH THE EVIL OF ZEDD."
"Yeah, and meanwhile the Terror Blossom is rampaging throughout Angel Grove."
"We need more power," Billy said. "That can only be the problem I see."
As the serpent gets closer, Rocky, Aisha and Adam can't believe this is it. Their abilities are going to be used for evil under Zedd. Mr. Anderson tries to keep their hopes secure, knowing that is better said than done. Bulk and Skull are having their fun with dealing with Baby Jacob.
Billy and Alpha finally gain enough power to unfreeze the rangers. Terror Blossom monster has finally gained the energy source it needs and goes to attack the power plant. If it succeeds, all of Angel Grove will be shut up and it's pods of evil will destroy the world. The Rangers leave stop the monster. The Terror Blossom is made giant size, after Zedd sees the rangers were able to unfreeze themselves. They call forth their zords to battle the monster. Tommy leaves Zack and Jason to battle the Terror Blossom in the Thunder Megazord, as the rest go to save the ninja teens and Mr. Anderson. They are stopped a bit by putties. The Blue and Yellow ranger are the only ones close enough to the cave to help, so go sent inside. Trini is able to free the teens and Mr. Anderson. Trini teleports Mr. Anderson out the cave to safety, knowing the teens and Billy could handle the putties outside. Billy has to combat with the serpent, while Aisha, Adam and Rocky rush out the cave. Billy knows if the serpent bites him, he will turn evil. The teens go out to help the Pink and White Ranger with the massive putties. .
Jason and Zack are able to defeat the Blossom monster with the Thunder sword in the end. The rangers return to the cave and find Billy struggling with the serpent.
"Stay back you guys," The Pink ranger says to Aisha, Adam and Rocky. They go to help Billy. Kimberly shot the serpent with her laser gun. Billy was struggling to breath.
"We have to do something."
"We gotta get his helmet off," Kimberly said pulling at the latches on the side.
"Wait! Okay." Kimberly helps Billy with his helmet.
"Billy, it's okay. Just take deep breaths." Billy sat up coughing.
"Oh look at that," Adam said.
"Oh no," Billy groaned, as Aisha, Adam and Rocky walk over to them.
"Billy?"
"Then you must be…"
"I don't believe this," Kimberly said taking off her helmet.
"Kimberly! And Tommy!" Tommy took off his helmet as well.
"You guys are the Power Rangers," Aisha said with a smile. "Unbelievable!"
Trini drops off Mr. Anderson right outside the park where Bulk and Skull has his son, then she teleports to the Command Center.
"I AM VERY GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL MADE IT BACK SAFE AND SOUND. AND I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A WARM WELCOME TO OUR NEW FRIENDS, AISHA, ADAM AND ROCKY."
"This is amazing," Rocky said.
"Shhh! Rocky, don't interrupt the man. I think he's a man," Aisha said kind of confused.
"ROCKY, ADAM AND AISHA, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES TO KNOW THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE POWER RANGERS. IT IS IMPORTANT THIS INFORMATION REMAINS A SECRET. WE ASK THAT YOU TAKE A VOW TO NEVER REVEAL THE TRUE IDENITITIES OF THE POWER RANGERS."
"We take that vow."
"You can count on us," Adam said.
"And never betray you," Rocky said. They take the vow creed from Zordon, then return to check on Mr. Anderson and Jacob. Bulk and Skull though interested in finding out more about the Power Rangers, and how they rescued them, were happy to help with the baby, but declines to any more babysitting duties and race off. Everyone left laughing at their retreating forms. Kimberly, Tommy and Billy are pleased to have found new friends.
