Chapter Seventeen-Saving Kim, Killing Kim
"Who are you?" Tommy asked turning to the two people standing beside him, in white.
"We have no time for that now. We have to get back, before Scarlette wins." Ann said hurriedly.
"Haley? Do you read me?" David said into his communicator.
"Loud and clear. What's the status?" Haley' voice said through the communicator on the teen's wrist.
"We have twelve to teleport back to the command center." And in twelve beams of light, the rangers were immediately transported back to earth, to find something not all of them had been expecting there.
"Oh my God!" Tommy said softly. His face was totally white, and he had a very shocked expression. "What happened?"
Kim was lying on a table, not moving, and barely breathing. She looked dead.
"We thought she was a monster. We had no choice Tommy, she was destroying everything. Someone made her do it. We don't know who it was." Jason told his friend, he looked like he was about to have a mental breakdown.
"We do." Billy said quietly. "Unfortunately, she got away."
"Wait a minute." Kira said turning to the twins. "You two said you were sent to help us? So, what do we do?"
Ann smiled. "Do remember the first time that you saved Zordon?"
Tommy looked up at her with hope in his eyes. "How did you know? But more importantly, will it work?"
"Our mother told us all about it. And yes, it will work." Ann said.
"For those of you who weren't there," Billy said looking at the younger rangers. "Spread around the whole table, put your hands up next to each other."
Everyone spread out around the table where Kim's nearly lifeless body lay. Everyone except for the twin's. They had gone upstairs to do something. Which would have seemed odd to everyone if they had not been focusing on saving Kim.
All of a sudden, ten animal spirits left the bodies of the people who housed them. They joined together, and went into Kim's body. Just as the Rangers had done to Zordon, all those years ago.
Slowly, the color started to come back to Kim's cheeks. She had been drained of everything, and now she was just barely breathing. Tommy was nearly collapsing in his effort to save his fiancé. The twin's were still no where to be seen.
Then, they came walking down the stairs, leading their younger selves. Jason stepped forward.
"I don't think this is something that they should see."
"But she thought it was." David told his uncle nodding his head in his mother's direction. Also nodding, Jason stepped aside, and let the twin's pass.
"What's wrong with Mommy? Why is she glowing?" Ann asked. The older Ann knelt down to her height.
"Mommy is sleeping. We need your help to wake her up."
"Ok. But you know, it's usually daddy who has trouble waking up. Never mommy." David told his older twin.
"I know." The older David replied. He knew nothing about his father really. "But this time it's mommy having trouble, so we have to help her."
"Sure." Ann said, regaining the strength she had lost on the moon. "I want to help."
So, the twin's stepped into the middle of the circle, just next to the table, motioning for Tommy to join them. When he had, The five of them held hands around the table, and a truly spectacular thing happened.
First, the sprit of the falcon left Tommy. It was flying around in lonely circles, looking for it's crane. Slowly, it flew into Kim's body; she took a deeper breath. Next, the falcon and the crane both left the older David and Ann, and they flew into their mother's body. The same thing happened with the younger twin's. Kim was looking more alive each second.
Last of all, the eagle left the older David, and the dove left the older Ann. The two birds encircled the air above their mother, and then dove into her heart. Kim's eyelids slowly flickered. Then, the same things happened with the younger twin's, and there was a bright flash of pink and white light.
When the light was gone, Kim was sitting up, quite alive. However, the older twin's were nowhere to be seen.
Tommy picked the twin's up and gave them to Kim. They hugged her, and she hugged them back.
"Oh, My babies." She murmured softly. "I'm so sorry."
"Sorry about what mommy?" Ann asked. David was back to being his usual quiet self.
"I'm sorry that I left. I shouldn't have left you two in that awful place all alone."
"It's ok mommy. The two nice people came and took us home." Ann told her confused mother happily. She was back to her usual cheery self. The dreary room she had been in mere hours before now forgotten, but not forever.
"Who?" Kim said, directing her question at Tommy.
"I have no idea. When I came out of it, they were just there. They were just here too, but they are gone now. They disappeared as you woke up."
"Do you know who they were?" Kim asked the whole room at large. They just looked at each other, Trini stepped forward.
"It was them." She said, looking at the two children in their mother's arms.
"Them who?" Kim asked not fully understanding what her best friend was saying.
"It was them, the twin's." Billy clarified.
"But…but…that is impossible." Kim said. "The twin's couldn't rescue themselves."
"Besides, those two people were teenagers. The twin's are only almost three." Tommy said, having actually seen the two mysterious people with his own eyes.
"They are." Aisha said, pointing at the two children in Kimberly's lap. "But, they won't stay two forever."
Tommy and Kimberly just stared at everyone.
"What are you saying?" Kim finally asked.
"We are saying, that just because the twin's are two now, doesn't mean that they will be two fourteen years from now. In fourteen years, you will see those two people again, as you saw them today. You will see those two people everyday for the rest of your lives, but not as you saw them today. Not yet anyway." Conner said.
At this pronouncement, everyone just stared at him.
"Oh, come on. It makes perfect sense." When everyone continued to stare at him, he continued. "You know, just because I may appear to be an idiot to you, doesn't mean that I am all of the time."
"Are you saying, that the two people who rescued the twin's and helped us save Kim were the twin's, but from the future?" Tommy asked.
"Someone give the guy a medal." Jason said sarcastically. "Took you long enough to figure that one out."
Tommy glared at his best friend. "You are so lucky that you happen to be her big brother." He said indicating Kim.
"Is that supposed to be some sort of threat?" Jason asked challengingly.
"Oh give it a rest you two!" Kat said. "Sometimes, the two of you can be so immature. Honestly, Kim, how do we deal with this all of the time?"
"I have no idea." Kim said smiling at her big brother and her fiancé staring at the two women standing beside them.
"You know, as fun as it is to see Jason and Tommy giving each other death glares." Rocky said interrupting everyone. "I happen to be feeling a little claustrophobic down here. Besides, I am getting so hungry, and what do you wanna bet that there isn't any food down here?"
"Trust Rocky to think of his stomach at a time like this." Tanya said, leaning against her husband.
"Hey, I agree with him." Adam said to the woman leaning against him, who turned around and playfully smacked the man on the head.
"Thanks for all of the support." She said in mock anger, but everyone could tell that she was trying very hard not to smile.
"Hey everyone!" Conner called to the rather large crowd gathered in the dino lair. "What do you say we go raid Dr. O's kitchen?"
Rocky let out a cheer as everyone headed to the stairs. "Yes, this is what I have been waiting for all day. Come on Conner, let me show you how to properly raid a kitchen."
"Hey Trini." Kim said grabbing her friends arm as she walked by. "Could you take the twin's upstairs with you?"
"Sure Kim." Trini said, giving her friend a strange look.
"Tommy, could we talk for a minute?"
"Sure Beautiful. What's up?" Tommy asked as the last person left the basement.
"Well, I was just wondering. I know it's been like three years and all, but I was just wondering, are we still engaged?"
Tommy just stared at her.
"Because I totally understand if you changed your mind or anything." Kim said, looking as if she would burst into tears if he said no. "It's been three years, and I would totally get it if you found someone new. I just wasn't there."
"Did you hit your head or something?" Tommy asked.
"No." Kim said looking hurt. "It's just that, we never really talked about it."
"Of course we are still engaged. I love you Kimberly Ann Hart. You are the mother of my children, and the love of my life."
Kim smiled at him, and dove into his waiting arms. "Just making sure." She said, before leaning her head back to kiss the love of her life.
"Come on." Tommy said after their lips had broken apart. "Everyone will be looking for us."
"Ok." Kimberly Hart, soon to be Oliver said, letting her fiancé guide her up the stairs.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Ann cried running over to her mother, and leaping into her arms.
"What?" Kim asked, holding her young daughter in her hands.
"Aunt Tree said that her and Uncle Billy are getting' married in three days, and I get to be the flower girl!"
"She really said that?" Kim asked her daughter. "When?"
"Right now."
Kim walked over to her best friend.
"So I hear that I will be attending a wedding in a few days?"
"Oh my gosh Kim! I don't know how he did it." Trini said excitedly. "But we are getting married in three days, no matter what. Do you think we could borrow your backyard?"
"I don't see why not." Kim said smiling. "I'm sure it has been Tommy's life long dream to have a wedding in his backyard."
Trini laughed, then hugged her best friend, child and all. "You are the best ever Kimberly Hart. I have to go tell, well everyone."
"Yeah, I should go warn Tommy too. He might die of shock if a couple hundred people just show up in his backyard that morning."
"Oh, trust me, it won't be that big. Just my family, and Billy's. And of course the rangers."
"So, if you are counting all of the ranger's, it will only end up being around a hundred people." Kim said smiling.
"You know me girl." Trini said before walking away to make her announcement. But first she had to tell Billy.
"What was that about?" Tommy asked coming over.
"Oh nothing." Kim said. "Trini just told me that in three days, her and Billy are getting married, and all of the rangers ever will be there, and Ann is going to be the flower girl, not to mention that her and Billy's family's will be there also. Oh, and by the way..." Kim added, just as Trini stood up on a chair to get everyone's attention.
"Excuse me everyone, I have an announcement to make!" Trini cried over all of the noise.
"...The wedding and the reception will both be in our backyard." Kim finished. Tommy's jaw dropped.
"Are you serious?"
"You bet." Kim said smiling at the look on Tommy's face.
"-remember that, three o'clock, Tommy and Kimberly's backyard." Trini finished.
"Hey." A small voice called out. "It's my backyard too."
"Sorry David." Trini said. She was trying very hard not to laugh. "It will also be in David's backyard."
"What about me?" Ann asked, she wasn't about to get outdone by her brother, even if he was older.
"Ann's too." Trini agreed now looking flustered, as everyone tried very hard not to laugh at what the twin's were putting Trini through. "Now, does anyone else have any objections?"
"Yeah, I do." Rocky said. "Will you be able to get enough food in time for it?"
"Not nearly enough for you." Trini replied. At this, everyone laughed. It was impossible to ever get enough food for Rocky.
Later that evening, well, it was actually very early the next morning, Tommy and Kim were sitting up discussing everything that they needed to do to prepare for the wedding that would take place in just under three days.
"I'm so glad they are getting married." Kim said leaning against Tommy as they sat up in their bed. "I knew they were meant for each other."
"Yeah." Tommy agreed.
"But there is so much work that has to be done."
"I know." Tommy said. "Aren't you so glad that we saved you?"
Kim hit him with a pillow.
"You know I'm joking." Tommy said, wrapping his arms around her.
"Yeah, I know your joking." Kim told him. "That's why I threw the pillow at you."
