Chapter 39
Zedd reached Kim's cell. He unlocked it and led her out. She walked out in front and plotted. She would wait until she got to the throne room. It wouldn't be too hard to get rid of him. She was stronger than he was. Once they reached the throne room, she turned on him.
His eyes bugged out. He couldn't believe that she had gone against him. She had powers that far exceeded his own. She had just held her hand up and she had forced him against the wall. She slammed him into the wall over and over again. He was actually bleeding.
She was not showing any mercy to him. He didn't deserve her mercy. He had made her teenage years awful. She couldn't go on a date or anything without him attacking. She had also knocked out Rita and Rito. She didn't need any distractions from those two.
She was a little mad that Goldar had already been dealt with. She wanted to destroy him for everything. She would take care of Zedd first then move onto everyone else. She also detected that the Space Rangers were trying to do something to Tommy. She would attack them if they touched him. He was not to be harmed or she would destroy everything in sight.

"Kim is in the Lunar Palace. I also sense that she is facing Zedd." Bill said as he put the image up on the computer.
Everyone crowded around and grasped at the image of Kim holding Zedd up against the wall with only her hand extended. She was also glowing white.
"How is she doing that? She is in the center of the room. How does she have him up against the wall?" Tanya asked anyone. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had always thought that Kim was the delicate one. She apparently was the one to be feared over Tommy.
"She has obtained mind control. This is not good news. She can control many things. I don't think that Andros' idea will work now. She will know that he is not hurt and that it is a trick." Zordon said sadly. He was worried about Kim. If she killed Zedd then there was no way to get her back. Andros had a good idea but it was too late now.
"I think that you're right Zordon she is glowing white but her eyes are pink." Trini said as she looked back at the screen. She knew that when most of the rangers got mad their eyes glowed their color.
Everyone that is, except for her. Her eyes glowed Red. She had never found out why that was but it was.
"She has taken on Tommy's powers. He will probably be glowing pink." Alpha said as he punched in more numbers. He was working on a way to get Kim back. He just knew that that there had to be a way.
Everyone else watched as Kim held Zedd against the wall and then she started talking.
XXXX
"Tommy, man you're glowing pink." Jason said as Tommy looked down at his hands. He was glowing pink. Jason was a little shocked that Tommy was glowing pink. He knew that it was bad.
"Why though?" He said as they both got up and walked back into the house.
They knew that everyone was still downstairs. They headed down there when Tommy heard Kim's voice. He ran the rest of the way down the stairs. He came to a stop when he saw that she was on the computer.
He blinked his eyes when he saw that she had Zedd pinned to the wall. He couldn't believe that Kim was that strong. He did notice that she was glowing white but her eyes were pink. He didn't know what that meant but he was not finding out right now.
He had to watch her. He watched as she slammed Zedd into the wall over and over again. He watched as she talked to Zedd
XXXX
"How dare you!" Zedd screamed. He couldn't believe that this slip of a girl was pinning him to the wall. He tried to struggle out of her hold but nothing helped.
"I dare. You once tried to destroy me. Did you think that I would not remember? You will pay for that. You brought so much pain to my life. I will destroy you!" She said coolly. She was also still at war in her head.
Destroy him. He tried to destroy you. He tortured you.
No, you must resist. Tommy needs you back. You mustn't cross that line.
You must cross the line. You have nowhere to go.
You can go back to Tommy and to friends that love you.
No one loves you. They would have come for you by now.
They are counting on you. Kimberly you are the Pink Power Ranger. You are the heart of the team.
You need to stand by yourself. They hold you back. You are more powerful than they will ever be.
No Kim you are part of a team everyone relies on another. You are more than this person that you have become.
Kimberly tried listening to the voices in her head. They were getting out of control. One wanted her to destroy Zedd but the other wanted her to resist. She didn't know what to do. She slammed Zedd back up against the wall. She had tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Kimberly, Kimberly."
"Tommy!" She yelled as she thought about him. She teleported him out of his basement to the throne room in the Lunar Palace.
XXXX
"Where did Dr. O go?" Connor asked. He was standing behind him but then he was gone. He had heard Kim scream his name then he was gone.
"She brought him to her." A voice from behind them said. Andros walked into the basement followed by Cassie, Ashley, Zhane, Carlos, and T.J.
They walked up to stand next to Billy at the computer.
"Who are you?" Kira asked. She was upset that someone knew about Tommy and Kim.
"Kira, this is Andros, Ashley, Cassie, Zhane, T.J., and Carlos. They are the Space Rangers and these guys are Kira, Ethan, Connor, Hayley, and Trent. They are the Dino Rangers except for Hayley she is their tech advisor." Jason said from the back of the room. He was glad to see Andros but that also meant that this thing with Kim was worse than he had thought.
"Zordon, it is good to see you." Andros said as he looked over the people in Tommy's basement. He knew that Zordon was proud of these rangers standing with him in this room.
"And it is good to see you, Andros." He said as he turned back to watch Kimberly.
"She did teleport him there. He is in the corner standing in the shadows. I wonder if this is not better than us hurting him." Trini said as she watched her best friend fight her inner demons.
XXXX
"Zedd, I will not let you get away this time. I will destroy you." Kim said as Tommy finally made his way out of the shadows. He knew that he needed to stop her.
"Kimberly, let him go. This is not who you are. You are the Original Pink Power Ranger. Every Pink Ranger after you looks up to you. Let Him Go." Tommy said as he came to stand next to Zedd. He heard him grasping for breath. He knew that he had to stop Kim soon or Zedd would die and he would never get her back.
XXXX
"Trini, I'm putting a shield around you. If she can teleport Tommy there so can teleport anyone." Billy said as he put a force field around her.
She was mad that he would even consider doing this.
"Billy, I can handle Kim and I don't think that she will teleport me before Jason." She said as she looked to Jason for help.
"I'm with Billy on this one. He has a point and you are pregnant. Billy, also when Kim lets go even a little on Tommy bring him back. I don't want her hurting him it might send her over the edge." Jason said as he received a glare from his wife. He was already worried about Kim and Tommy he didn't need Trini being mixed up in this.
XXXX
"Tommy, get away from him." Kim said as she tried to tighten her grip on her mind.
Her thoughts were running wild now. She heard a faint cry of a bird. She listened harder and found out that it was a Falcon. She thought that the Falcon was calling out to her but she was the Crane.
Why would the Falcon call for her? She listened harder and heard a distance cry of the Crane. She felt a surge in power as she slammed Zedd up against the wall once again. Her mind let go of Tommy for only a moment but it was enough for Billy to get him out of there.
XXXX
"No, I need to be there with her!" Tommy screamed as he landed in his basement.
He shook off Jason's hand and watched Kim with a breaking heart. He had tried to get her back but Billy had teleported him before he could reach her. He too had heard the sound of the Falcon. He was puzzled but he knew that everything in him was reaching out to her to bring her back. He guessed that his animal spirit was also reaching out to her.
XXXX
Kim looked over at Rita and Rito and they were still out as Zedd was struggling to stay alive. She felt the Crane hover over her head. She looked up and in her mind's eye, she saw the Crane. She knew that if she did destroy him that she would never see Tommy again and his Falcon would never have its mate.
She fought it for a moment but then gave up the fight. She released him and teleported out of the Lunar Palace. She landed in Tommy's basement in his arms. She passed out as soon as he locked his arms around her.
He rushed her over to his sick beds that he had. He knew that sometimes you needed those beds and was glad that he had them. He knew that Alpha, Billy, Hayley, and Trini could monitor her with everything he had down here.
XXXX
Zordon led everyone upstairs except for Billy, Alpha, Hayley, Trini, Jason, and Tommy. They needed to be with her. She was still passed out and glowing white.
"Zordon, will she be alright?" Aisha asked as she sat down on the couch.
Everyone else found seats. They knew that the heart of the team's life hung in the balance and wondered if she would ever be good again.
"I'm not sure but since she didn't destroy Zedd she should be good. Her inner balance weighed on the good side. She did it." He said as she looked out of the group of rangers in front of him. He was proud of his Pink Ranger.
"Does she have to face anything else?" Rocky asked. He knew that Tommy was happy that she was back.
"She will probably experience more nightmares but she can overcome those since she had done the hardest part." He said as everyone smiled.
He knew that Kim had done the impossible. She had rejected the evil with no help but from her inner self.
Andros knew that Kim would face more but he didn't say anything. He needed to get back to the Mega-ship. He motioned for his team.
They teleported back to the ship so that they could keep tags on the Lunar Palace and on Kim. He could also monitor Kim's thoughts to make sure that she was winning the battle within herself.
XXXX
You are pitiful. You couldn't even destroy your worst enemy.
I made my choice. I choose to be with Tommy and my friends.
It was the wrong choice.
The Falcon and the Crane must be together. He needs me. I am his strength.
You will regret this.
I chose the right side. I am the Original Pink Power Ranger. I am one of the Greatest Rangers ever. I am more powerful than any evil.
Kim fought the last of her battle. It had been a long night but at about one in the morning, she raised up with a grasp.
Tommy was the only one left with her and at her grasp; he raised his head and smiled. She was back. He gathered her in his arms and he felt the tears she was silently crying.
"What's wrong?" He asked as he leaned back to look her in the eyes. He never wanted to let her go again.
"It was me. It was always me." She said as she closed her eyes.
He laid her back down on the table. He sat back down and took a hold of her hand. He watched her through the night. He made sure that she didn't have any more nightmares.
She slept with a smile on her face. He knew that she had finally overcome those nightmares. He was glad of that. He looked at her again and knew that they both would rest better if they were in an actual bed.
He picked her up and walked upstairs to his bedroom. Everyone was out as he made his way to his room. He flipped back the covers and laid her down as he came down beside her. He dragged the covers back over them and held her as they slept. He had peaceful dreams as well.
XXXX
Trini woke up and went downstairs to check on Kim. She made it to the bottom of the stairs and noticed that Kim and Tommy were gone. She didn't panic.
She would check his room first and if they weren't there then she would wake Jason. She opened the door a little and saw them there. She also noticed that they were glowing each other's colors. She smiled at the thought that Tommy was glowing pink.
She would have to tell Jason later that he was still glowing Pink. She went back to her room and got back into bed beside Jason. She fell asleep moments later secure in the fact that Kim was back.
