Chapter 7: Angel Grove Youth Café
(Scene switch: Angel Grove Youth Café, Angel Grove/Kendrix' POV)
After a boring three hours of shopping and giving Kim hell, I eventually managed to find something to wear. I was dressed in a pair of jeans (seems really in fashion in the 90's), a pair of runners and a pale pink t-shirt.
Kim kept grumbling to herself that I could have at least more interest in fashion, whereas I told her I'd rather be doing training drills on the Moon with GSA, but that really confused her. I had to mentally punch myself that I'm stuck in 1993 and not 2018.
Kim and Trini led to Angel Grove Youth Café. They told me it's always where they hang out after school. We stepped in, Tommy was training with Jason and Kim told me she practices Gymnastics here aswell. But to be honest, I had interests with the Karate lessons. I turned to Kim and Trini,
"Hey, does your friend over there accept any new-comers?",
"In what? Karate? Of course! Tommy and Jason train people of any age. Why? Are you interested?" I laughed,
"Hell ya.",
"OK Keni, I think you spent too much time with this GSA group of yours." Said Kim. But geez, that's the exact same nickname Leo uses. Hell I miss them already. I just worry about Mike the most.
We were more like brother and sister since we met in University. I'm not his sister by blood, but he treats me like one. He's the only family I've got left. I walked over to Tommy and Jason who were sparring each other. They stopped to look at me,
"Hey ya Ken. Like the new look. It's better than your uniform." I looked at my in-this-time clothes,
"Thanks Jase.",
"Oi! Only Kim calls me that!",
"It's just pure luck I know." I grinned. "Oh yeah, do ye mind if I take part in yer Karate classes.",
"Yeah, no problem. Can I just spare with you? So I know what you can do?" I cracked my knuckles,
"Bring it on White Knight." I said mockingly. Jason smirked to himself, got off the mat and sat down to watch. I threw my shoes off. Soon, Kim, Trini, Zack and Billy sat down next to him.
Tommy and I started to circle,
"You better be careful Blacky, cause I'm gonna kick your ass." Said Tommy,
"I kicked more asses than I could count." Quickly, Tommy lashed out a basic high kick. I rolled under, got behind him and kicked his back and I watched as he fell over, but he quickly got up. Tommy then ran and launched a flying kick. I evaded to the right, I caught fist coming to my left.
I ducked, elbowed Tommy in the stomach, while slightly stunned, I did a low round kick and knocking him to the mat. Poor Tommy was feeling too much pain to bear and couldn't pull himself up,
"3, 2, 1 and he's down!" I laughed. "Told ya I kicked more asses.",
"That was awesome! No one was ever able to knock down Tommy. He's the master of Karate." Zack exclaimed,
"Well let's see kid… I knocked my friend Kai to the mat, Leo, my brother Mike and most of the Seniors and higher ranking staff in the GSA. So Kim's boyfriend was no problem." I boasted, not literally though. I lent out my hand and helped Tommy up.
"That was amazing. You're the first one to KO me. I don't think you need lessons, but you help teach. You're fighting style is very intriguing." He commented,
"Thanks and sure, I'll be of some help in your lessons teaching other kids." And we shook hands. Suddenly, their communicators went off,
«Rangers, Goldar and Putties are attacking the park.» Of all people, Zordon,
"On our way." They looked around if the coast was clear to morph. No one was around, neither Ernie. The group went into position,
"It's morphin' time! White Tiger Zord!" Shouted Tommy,
"Mastodon!",
"Pterodactyl!",
"Triceratops!",
"Sabre-tooth Tiger!",
"Tyrannosaurus!" Then it was me,
"Go Galactic!" When we were in our ranger suits, we left for the park to intervene Goldar's plans. Time for round 2.
