Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. Flashpoint belongs to CBS and whoever else is affiliated with the show. I only own the plot.

Later that night, the SRU team and Tommy, Jason, and Katherine had been forced to leave after visiting hours and Kimberly shifted in her bed. I hate being cooped up, she thought to herself. And she hated getting shot. You know, I never had this problem when I was a Ranger, she silently griped. When they were Rangers they accelerated healing and could take a hit and then go out to the next battle. However, now that she was a civilian, she healed at the same speed as everyone else. This blows, she thought to herself. Then, she hunkered down in the bed and closed her eyes. Morning would come soon enough if she just slept. And maybe, just maybe, she could convince the doctors to release her. While this was going on, Jason, Tommy, and Katherine had gone to a hotel and had gotten a couple of rooms next to each other.

"You sure you don't mind rooming by yourself?" Jason asked Katherine.

"No, I don't mind. I know you're here if I need you," Katherine responded.

"We sure are," Tommy confirmed. Then, the three went to sleep. Meanwhile, Frederick Dustin was in his own motel. Only he didn't look like Frederick Dustin anymore. Now his appearance was that of a being with a body that was red in color and had an armor of silver. His lips curved into a terrible smile, though you couldn't see it behind his metal mask. Yes, everything is going great. With my disguise as a magician, I can enslave the Earth in no time. And the best part…no pesky Power Brats to stop me! he thought in sadistic glee and laughed loudly. What no one knew was that the woman who had spied on him had found an abandoned warehouse and was busy casting a spell in a foreign language. There's no way I'm going to let him get away with this. I can sense Pinky and two of her friends here, she thought. She couldn't let them get hurt. She had been given a second chance, and she'd use it to do some good for a change. As her spell continued, lightning flashed and then a pink mist arose. Ah, yes. just what I ordered, she thought happily. The pink mist would latch onto the woman and give her the extra protection she needed.

"Go! Go and protect!" the woman cried, causing the mist to disappear with a wave of her hand. The mist traveled until it found the essence of the person it had been sent to protect. Then, it slowly flitted down and covered Kimberly's body. The woman moaned as she felt a surge of power flow through her body. However, sensing that it wasn't anything harmful, she stayed asleep. In his house, Sam was getting himself prepared for his mission. He had gotten his orders and was going to carry them out. He would be successful for his Master. He glanced briefly in the mirror to stare at his glowing red eyes. Then, he grabbed a rope and then headed out in his car. Minutes later, he was back at the hospital, where he furtively looked around before going into Kimberly's room. His lips curved into a cruel grin as he stepped through the threshold. So, Pink Ranger. You're all alone, eh? he thought mockingly. This would be simple. He leaned forward and tried to put the rope around her neck. However, he was stopped by a jolt of electric pink energy. What? he wondered. He hadn't expected this. What was going on? Then, he shook his head. It didn't matter. He had a job to do. Once again, he bent down to wrap the rope around her throat, and once again the pink electricity zapped him. This time, however, it woke Kimberly up. What's going on? she wondered.

"Sam, what are-" The rope came down again. "SAM, NO!"
