AN: I came home from school and checked my email. Opened up my inbox and I had 15 reviews in one day for this story! In case I never told you the more reviews the quicker the updates as it gives me motivation. So I should be able to get a chapter or two up today. I'm glad you all like the story so far and trust me……this is only the beginning we haven't even scratched the surface. BTW I know I've said this before but it's an AU! Also it's exam week and b/c of that I am not supposed to be on the computer so hope you enjoy!
More Than Evil
Chapter Four: Here Kitty, Kitty
The rangers made it back to the Command Center more or less alive and still in one piece. When they got there Zordon was angry but not at them luckily.
The rangers sensing his anger left the Command Center quickly and made their way back to Angel Grove on foot to give themselves time to cool off before facing their friends and parents when they went home.
"What are we going to do guys?" Trini asked once they where a good ways away from the Command Center.
"We do like we always have. We fight them." Jason said.
"But I mean come on, it's Kim. We can't fight her. We've know her all our lives." Zach said as he kicked a rock in front of him in frustration.
"We have no choice. She is going to fight us; we can't just not fight back." Trini said as she stepped over a rock formation.
"We have to them Zach. They'll kill us if they get the chance. Hell they'd kill all of Angel Grove if they had the chance and we will not let that happen!" Jason shouted, just as frustrated as the others.
"We're down to four rangers. Even if there are more of us, it is still not good odds. We need another ranger back on the team. We need another ranger soon." Billy said logically thinking.
"Would there be another power source that we could use for the new ranger? Where would we find another ranger anyway?" Trini exclaimed as they topped the hill that would take them straight down to Angel Grove.
"I'm sure we could find another power source but the problem would be finding a person to become our new pink ranger." Billy said again the voice of logic.
"We'll think of something guys. For now let's worry about staying alive." Jason said as the began to walk parallel to the highway that would lead them into Angel Grove.
A car slowly pulled along side them as the window rolled down.
"Headed into Angel Grove?" a thick Australian accent asked.
"Yes. Can we get a lift?" Jason asked as the others crowded round him.
"Sure. The names Catherine by the way but everyone calls me Kat." She said as she opened the door.
"I'm Jason. The guy in blue is Billy, yellow is Trini, and black is Zach. Are you new in Angel Grove?" Jason asked as they all climbed into her car.
"Yes. We just moved here from Australia. You all go to Angel Grove High?" she asked as she sped on down the highway again.
"Yeah. We'd be happy to show you around town." Trini said from the back seat.
"I'd love that. So what where you guys doing all they way out here? Angel Grove isn't for another twenty minutes." She asked.
The others shared a nervous glance.
"We where on our way back from a run and we got slightly lost." Billy said lying through his teeth.
Kat seemed to buy it as they changed subjects and began to talk about school until they made it to the Youth Center.
"Hey Kat, why don't you hang out with us for a while?" Trini asked as they all climbed out of her car.
She thought about it for a moment.
"Sure. I have nothing else really important to do except unpack and that can wait." She said as she pulled her car into a parking spot and got out.
They all walked into the Youth Center and sat down at their regular table with Kat in Kim's old seat.
"So what brings you to the United States Kat?" Billy asked as Ernie walked over with their smoothies.
"My mum moved us here. Said we needed a change of atmosphere. She's an artist so I follow where ever she leads me." Kat said as she took a drink of her smoothie.
"Are you into martial arts?" Trini asked curiosly.
"No, although I do want to learn. I dance ballet and was on the swim team for my old school. I'm hoping maybe to open up a dance school here like I had back in Australia but things are so much more expensive here that I don't think I could afford it." Kat said sighing.
The others shared a smile over her head.
"We can help you with that. Ernie come over here!" Jason shouted to their friend, and the owner of the juice bar.
Erine finished up the order he was on and made his way over to the gang.
"What's up?" he said as he threw the dish ranger he had in his hand over his shoulder.
"This young lady here said she would like to open up a dance school. What do you think?" Jason asked a twinkle in his eye at the look of confusion on Kat's face.
"Well……." Ernie trailed off realizing he didn't know her name.
"Katherine Hilliard, call me Kat though. "she said.
"I can help you with that dance school of yours, Kat. Jason and Trini teach martial arts here at the Youth Center Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and Kim does gymnastics on the same days. You can do the same with your dance classes or you can do them on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Weekends you can use it for the students that either need extra help or the ones that are going to competitions or would like the extra push. You can start whenever you have your first group of students." He said a smile on his face.
Katherine lit up. "Really! Thank you." She said a gigantic smile on her face.
The others laughed as Ernie walked off to tend to another customer.
"Thank you guys!" she said overflowing with happiness. "I can't believe you would do that for me."
"That's what friends are for." Zach said as they brushed off her thanks.
"Hey Kat, you know how you said you wanted to learn martial arts? We could teach you. Would you like that?" Trini said after a few seconds thinking on it.
"Are you sure? I don't want to impose." She started.
"Nonsense. After we finish our classes on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays we can all head out to the park and beginning teaching you. " Jason said interrupting her.
"I'd love that." Kat said as she smiled.
For once in her life she was happy with her friends. People who wanted to be her friend because of who she was, not for help with diving or dancing or school, she smiled. Maybe she would like Angel Grove
Moon Base
"Zedd how would you feel about adding a Cat our collection of Evil Rangers?" Rita said as she watched Kat through her telescope.
"Certainly dear. A Cat would be a wonderful addition. "Lord Zedd said as he started to laugh. Life for the rangers was going to be very interesting from now on.
