Welcome to the Dark side Kimberly Hart

A/N I do not own the Power Rangers. They are owned by Saban and used without their permission. And A BIG thanks to my beta/friend Dana1 for her help with this story!

Over the next few weeks, Kim and the other Rangers had been involved in several battles with Zedd's monsters. And with each battle, Kim was not aware of it, but the statue that had been set up of her was filling up with more and more dark energy. And, even though she didn't realize it, she was slowly being turned to the Dark Side.

That Saturday, with Zedd having let up on his monster attacks for now, Kim decided to go shopping. Normally, she would buy some more pink attire, but something this day told her NOT to go for pink! Instead, as she wandered the mall, she was looking for something else, something different.

When she arrived at her usual store, while she saw some items for Aisha, nothing really appealed to her. She went from store to store, looking but not finding anything that appealed to her, until she came up to a new store that sold leather clothing. Now, HERE was something that was appealing to her!

As she stepped into the shop, the smell of all this leather just seemed to appeal to her. It felt almost that she had come home with this shop. The first thing that caught her eye was a leather skirt, that came to her knees, which was normal for her, but were slightly tighter than she normally wore. Next, came a pair of leather boots, with one inch heels, that just screamed to her to be worn. Last, but not least, was a leather jacket. Kim also saw a leather bustier, which she decided that she would buy on a future shopping trip here. After paying for the items, she continued browsing through the mall, eventually finding a shop that she bought for herself a blue halter top to go with the leather attire that she had bought earlier. All in all, a rather interesting shopping trip for her.

While she had been doing her shopping, Kim had been under the watch of Lord Zedd. He was watching her, and seeing how her transformation was coming along. As he looked upon both the statue and Kim, he was very pleased with what was happening. The statue was between half and three quarters of the way full. And Kim's choice of the leather attire definitely appealed to him.

"Yes. Soon your transformation will be complete. You will no longer serve Zordon and his way of goodness and light. You will work beside me to bring this mudball world to the side of darkness and to serving Master Vile" he stated with appreciation. Zedd was already working on plans for once Kim came to the Dark Side. He was already crafting a weapon for her, and a new well. Her old weapon and Zord would no longer suit her working for darkness. No, a new weapon and a new Zord would definitely be in order, once she changed sides for good.

"GOLDAR!" Zedd called out in a loud voice, so that he could summon his loyal warrior/minion. Things were starting to get to a point where plans that had been on hold for a good deal of time be put into action. And these plans would shock anyone who knew him.

A few minutes later, Goldar showed up in the room. "You called for me, my lord?" he asked. With what Lord Zedd had in mind, the Titan had been kept busy. And what Zedd had in mind was going to keep him busy again.

"Yes. I want you to go to Angel Grove and cause some trouble. I want to see how much trouble the Pink Ranger is having with her morphing powers and her Zord. It will give me insight into how well her dark transformation is going. Now go, and take a couple of squads of Putties with you" Zedd ordered,

Goldar nodded and did as he asked. He knew his master was pleased with Kim's transformation, but wanted to see just HOW well it was going. And if this battle would give him the information that he needed, so much the better. Also, Goldar was looking forward to trying to take on Tommy again. His betrayal of the Dark Side to serving Zordon, during Rita's reign, still ached even to this day.
