Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Final Mix
Episode Five: Ranger Killer Yellow (Part Two)

[Location: Rita's Palace
POV: Rita Repulsa]

"Do you see that, Lady Rita! I have set up the perfect game. All we need to do so relax and let them do the work," Swan Song stated while bowing, a tone of glee in his voice as he laughed victoriously.

"You should not be bragging just yet," Knasty Knight admonished while leaning against the wall near the balcony of the palace. "I thought Black Ranger was defeated as well and was proven very wrong…Just because they are on the ropes, does not mean victory is at hand."

Swan Song sneered at the knight and hissed out, "I can do what I want, you pathetic failure. I have set up the perfect game! There is no way this could fail!"

Knasty Knight shook his head and growled out, "Your plan is far from perfect…It will fail…."

Before Swan Song could say anything, Rita raised her left hand, halting him from speaking. "Swan Song, my valiant knight does have a point. Until one ranger is killed, this plan could fail so with that said, make sure it doesn't fail," Rita commanded.

Swan Song glared at the knight scornfully before bowing to his master and vanishing in a swirl of feathers. Rita then turned to Knasty Knight and said, "Meanwhile, I want you in Antarctica. I'm throwing everything I've got at these rangers and I'm sure we'll need him for them soon…"

Knasty Knight bowed and vanished in a plume of black and gold smoke, leaving Rita alone and hoping that this plan worked.

[Location: Command Center
POV: General POV]

"I cannot believe Zack would do that to you. I just can't," Jason told her with a frown on his face as he stared at Trini, who was being bandaged up by Kimberly at the Command Center.

"Well, he did. You think I could cause these injuries to myself?" Trini asked with a harsh, sarcastic tone in her voice. "Face facts, Zack sold us out to Rita and tried to kill me."

"Look, I know you and Zack have been through some kind of rough patch but he is a good guy, he wouldn't have attacked you or hurt yo—" Kimberly was interrupted by a scoff leaving Trini's lips.

"A good guy? Him? We are speaking about the same person, right?" Trini asked rhetorically, rolling her eyes. "Zack was never a good person. All he was, is, and forever will be is a traitor and it's about time you all see that in him."

"I don't get it…Why are you like Trini? This is not like you," Billy asked her with a frown on his face.

Trini lowered her gaze and took a shuddered breath, images of her father lying unconscious on the ground then flashed to a funeral with Trini and her mother standing in the rain but as soon as the visions appeared, they were gone.

"I…I'd rather not…" Trini brokenly whispered, causing her three friends to look at her in concern.

They had never heard her like this before nor heard her like this before but as quick as Trini's broken look appeared, it vanished just as fast as cold determination morphed on her face as she stated, "He said he would be at the harbor. We need to get there as quickly as possible…" Not a moment too soon, the claxon sounds blared all around them, causing all of them to look at the Viewing Globe and there was Black, walking along while stumbling and shaking his head.

"And look at that…The traitor shows himself," Trini said while pulling out her Morpher. "It seems he is waiting…We have no time to waste!"

"Trini! We can't just believe he would do that!" Jason yelled, causing her to look at him anger blazing in her eyes, causing him to pause before shaking his head.

"Think about it. We are fighting a person that has any monster with any special ability. What if this is one of those cases? What if Zack is being controlled or what if one of those monsters is pretending to be him?" Jason suggested.

Jason was truly trying to appeal to rational thought and considering what they were facing, it was a good point but at this point, Trini's mind was too far gone, warped in the mind of fury and scorn to listen to reason.

"You didn't see him talk or move or fight. The person who fought me down there was Zack. He even bought up our spar! How would any of Rita's forces know of that?" Trini asked with accusing eyes while Jason suddenly became slightly unsure but it was Billy who stepped up to Trini this time around.

"Rita could send down a monster anywhere she pleased, Trini. She could have one of her monsters observing us at all times to discover that incident," Billy theorized, his blue eyes locking onto Trini's enraged black ones.

"Then she would have taken the chance to attack us while we were sleeping or at school or something? Why would she just watch us?" Trini asked the genius of the group.

"To observe her prey," Billy responded while adjusting his glasses, causing them to shine in due to the light in the room. Trini rolled her eyes and went to argue this when she felt Kimberly's right hand gently touch her forearm.

"Trini…I don't know what happened between you and Zack but this isn't the right way…You can't allow yourself to be blinded like this," Kimberly whispered to her friend with worried eyes but Trini shrugged off Kimberly's hand and took a few steps back, away from the three of them.

"No, blinded is when you're seeing a sale ad, Mallrat!" Trini hissed out, her irises flashing a sickly purple, causing Kim to step back in surprise.

"I am not blinded. I know he attacked me and if none of you can't believe me, then stay here and I'll prove it!" Trini yelled before taking out her Morpher and before anyone could stop her, Trini immediately warped out of the room, presumably to the harbor.

No one said a word for the next few minutes as it dawned on them at how anger-filled their friend was but Jason was the one to snap out of it first. With a swift turn, Jason looked at Zordon and shouted, "There has to be something we can do! We can't let her just go out and attack him!"

"She must overcome her past and her anger with Zack on her own. It is not something we can interfere in," Zordon responded with closed eyes, his face scrunched up in thought before he opened them and looked back down at Jason and said, "What we can do however is clear Zack of his name…Isn't that right, Alpha?"

Alpha nodded and answered, "That is correct. We just need some time to find the exact time when Trini was attacked and also see if we could spot Zack anywhere else during that time. Until then, stop Trini from hurting Zack."

"Right, but Jason…I don't think Zack is capable of this but…What if she is right?" Billy asked the leader of their group with serious eyes. Jason took a deep breath and shook his head, unable to come up with an answer because he knew in his gut that Zack was not capable of hurting anyone of their friends.

It wasn't him at all.

"Let's just get there and stop Trini from killing him…" Jason said to Billy, causing him to nod in agreement before Jason said, "Our mission is to stop Trini from hurting Zack. We can do it, guys! Back to action!"

Kim remained silent before she and Billy exchanged nods and chorused out, "Back to action!"

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: General]

"God this sucks…." Black exclaimed while falling to his knees, another wave of dizziness overcame him.

One minute, he was under the water trying to escape and the next minute, he was rocketing out of the water, high into the air, and landed smack dab on the ground. He shook his head and got back on his feet and as he did, he placed a hand on a tanker to keep himself steady, taking deep breaths to keep him calm.

Little did he know, Swan Song and a band of putties appeared on a roof nearby and watched him stumbling around and clapping in amusement as a yellow streak crossed the sky, heading a few feet away from Black's location.

"I want all of you to stay up here to sit back and enjoy the show…I have something I need to do," The monster stated before he morphed into Black once again before disappearing in black feathers.

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger]

Landing on the ground, the now morphed Yellow quickly pulled out her blade blaster and readied it for fire. She was fully intent on avenging her attack earlier that day and would not stop, no matter what it took.

It wasn't so much the fact that he was a traitor to the team, but Black had hurt her once again. He had purposely looked for her and attacked her because of their shared history and the dislike she had shown him.

She had every right to dislike him for what he had done. He had left her in her greatest time of need! He was supposed to have been there when she needed him and he wasn't.

She remembered calling for him, crying for him and he never came.

He left her alone…And because of that, she could not stand him.

Sure, she had decided to push her feelings back so it wouldn't ruin her friendship with the others but whenever he tried to even so much look at her, she ignored him in front of her friends, she had to act as if nothing was wrong.

She had to act like these dark feelings of her for Zack wasn't there.

But they were…And no one, not even Zack knew about them.

Perhaps she should have just cut her ties with everyone and left but she knew that wasn't something to be done.

She loved her friends and would tolerate Zack for them. But it seemed like today was the day everything was going to implode.

Her dark thoughts of vengeance against the Black Ranger swirled in her mind as she walked through the harbor, waiting for him to show up.

It was time she properly showed Zack what the knife of betrayal could do to anyone and no one was going to stop her as she unleashed everything that was pent up for years.

She just hoped that once it all ended, she could finally let go of it all.

"Well, look who showed up!" Hearing the voice of her former ally, Yellow swiftly turned around and fired her blaster at the ranger, who deflected the beams of energy with his ax quickly.

"Wasting no time in trying to kill me, huh? Good, perhaps this won't be so boring after all," Black said while chuckling, making Yellow sneer with rage.

"You…It's time we ended this Zack!" Yellow yelled as she charged forward, putting her blaster in its blade mode as she ran. Black chuckled, raised his ax, and charged for Yellow as well, officially starting this battle.

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: General]

"She must be around here somewhere…" Red said as he walked around with Pink and Blue behind him, all three of their eyes scanning the area around them.

"She must be looking for Zack…Or have already found him…" Blue whispered in an ominous tone.

"This is awful…To think Trini is so filled with anger that it has blinded her…" Pink responded while balling her fists in anger at the thought of her tormented friend.

Something was going on with her, that flash in her eyes proved this enough. She truly did not know of the anger Trini had felt towards Zack and as her best friend, she should have been able to see Trini's true feelings.

But all of them knew Trini was a pro at hiding her true emotions…And this proved it.

But little did the three rangers know, the band of putties that had arrived with had spotted them and without further ado, the putties flipped over from the crates they were standing on and landed around them, causing the three rangers to instantly step back and step into a karate stance.

"Damn it…" Red whispered in anger.

"Putties…" Pink added.

Blue took a sharp breath and said, "We need to find Zack and Trini before she does something reckless." Red nodded and eyed the putties that creepily swayed and hopped from side to side.

"Then let's strike!" Red shouted before dashing forward and landing a right hook to the first putty that came his way, with Pink kneeing the first putty she saw and Blue clotheslining two putties with both arms behind him.

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: General]

With a clash of steel and sparks, Yellow's blade blaster collided with Black's ax before their helmets met in a hard crash and while Trini's eyes held rage beneath her helmet, Swan Song's eyes were calm and teasing beneath the faux helmet.

"What's wrong? Can't kill me as you want?" Black taunted while keeping Yellow's blade at bay.

Since the fight had started, the fake ranger knew there was a dangerous edge to this new Yellow Ranger.

Compared to earlier where he wiped the floor with her and would have killed her if he didn't have to leave, she held nothing back and it truly made him smile.

His plan was going swimmingly.

All he had to do now was to fake an injured strike, retreat, and get the real Black Ranger into a position where his opponent would not hesitate to kill. When she realized her mistake, he would strike her down as well, taking down two rangers instantly, causing his plan to succeed where that foolish knight failed.

Yellow let out a rather dark growl as the purple energy violently swirled around her. The ranger tried to force more of her blade against the fake ranger's ax but the monster managed to push her back and strike her down her chest with the bladed weapon, causing Yellow to soar backward as sparks flew from her chest.

Yellow landed on the ground hard but swiftly got back on her feet but was forced to summon her power daggers to block the wide swing of the ax. Yellow tripped up her rival, causing him to fall to the side where she quickly sprang up and tried to stab him in the head.

Seeing death flash across the fake visor, Swan Song swiftly rolled away from Yellow, causing her dagger to cause a spider web crack to appear on the ground.

Rolling up to his knees, the fake ranger chuckled, placed his ax on his shoulder observed her for a moment.

There was dark purple energy flowing around her body as she stood there, her visor was now purple and she was hunched over with her arms hanging forward lifelessly. He could feel the power and rage pulsating from her body into his, further powering him up and it was delicious.

Soon, she would be so lost in her rage that she wouldn't be able to stop herself from getting killed and all this would do is further drive up his power.

But…With amplifying her rage, he also had to amplify her power to make his power grow and that held a lot of risks for him as well.

'I need to be quicker, that really would have killed me if I had not moved…the killing intent on this ranger is magnificent…' Swan Song thought to himself while rising to his feet and staring at the enraged Yellow before he said, "Look at that…that would've killed me if I hadn't moved at the last second."

"Then I'll have to be quicker," Yellow hissed with a harsh, dark laugh before she dashed to Swan Song and began to swing and thrust her arms towards him, causing her daggers to nearly slice and stab into him as he maneuvered and blocked every strike she delivered but then when he tried to slice her with his ax, she kicked it into the air and struck him in the chest with her foot.

The imposter ranger stumbled back and before he knew it, Yellow had dismissed her daggers, grabbed his falling ax, and struck him violently in the chest, causing him to yell in pain as sparks flew from the hard strike to the chest.

There!

That strike was an ending strike!

It had wounded him just enough that he was forced to dash backward before she was able to land another blow on him but what he didn't expect was for Yellow to continue to chase after him, landing strike after strike on his chest, causing more sparks as well as blue blood to leak from the wounds he was collecting.

After a hard slice from his left hip to his right shoulder, he was sent spiraling to the ground as both sparks and blood flowed from the large gash where he then landed hard and ground in pain.

Yellow stood above him as her chest heaved, her angered eyes glaring through her visor as her enemy began to crawl away but she started to slowly follow, his ax dragging on the ground behind her as she said "What's wrong Zack? Not used to me unleashing my wrath on you?"

Swan Song smirked inwardly at the eerily calm tone in her voice. He had pushed her to this point. The point where the ranger's anger was leading her on.

And that is what he needed.

"C-Come on Trini…C-Chill out, it w-was all a joke! I wasn't going t-to betray you," Swan Song began, making his voice shaky and fearful as Yellow gripped the hilt of his weapon but he could feel the power flowing through him as her anger grew.

"A Joke…That's all life is to you…A Joke…" Yellow whispered, her brown eyes glowing in pure malice and strife. "…I've become sick of your jokes…I've become sick of you…"

It was then Yellow raised her weapon, causing the blade to shine in the moonlight but as she peered down at him, she softly said, "I should thank you for betraying us, Zack…You finally gave me the perfect opportunity to to repay you for taking everything away from me!" With that shout, Yellow went to slice at him with all her might, fully intent on taking his rival's life but the moment that blade was inches away from striking him, Black quickly snapped his fingers, causing it to disperse with black feathers, which hit his body.

Yellow's eyes widened in pure shock as the feathers floated around her Black's body and through her hands.

"Sorry…But joining Rita had given me some perks…" Black cockily responded, taking advantage of her stunned state, and shouted, "Like this one!"

Black slammed his right hand on the ground, causing black smoke and black feathers to envelope them both and when the smoke cleared, Yellow found herself standing all alone in the opening.

Yellow didn't know what had happened.

She had him in her grasp and now he was gone.

Seeing the spot where he lay now empty had caused something within Yellow to snap and with red filling her vision, a scream filled with anguish, fury, and hatred pierced through the darkened sky above.

Along with a wave of violet energy.

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: Mighty Morphin Black Ranger]

Falling to the ground in pain, Black clawed himself to his feet and leaned against the wall in pain, his left arm wrapped around his stomach and side to try and smother the severe pain that blossomed in that spot.

He had re-opened that wound from his battle with Knasty Knight when he had that rough landing and being dizzy made everything worse.

"I need to get back to the command center," Black whispered while slowly moving down the long trail but without warning, he heard an anger-filled scream that sadly sounded familiar to him.

Followed by a wave of purple energy that shot up from the sky.

"Trini…She's in t-trouble…I need to get to h-her," Black stated, instantly fearing the worst.

He knew that while he would be the last person she wanted to see, he needed to see her. He knew that he needed to save her from whatever danger she was in and could only pray that he made it there in time, despite his dizziness and his wounds.

But after taking a few shaky steps forward, his vision blurred and he wound up falling down face first.

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: Swan Song]

Holding his chest in agony, the now wounded ranger form of Swan Song placed his bleeding hand on the wall beside him as he panted heavily.

She had truly damaged him and had he not used his skill to disperse that ax, which would have killed him for sure if it had landed.

He had to use his power to transport himself a few ways away from her to start act three of his three-part plan. 'Now…All I need to do is find the Black Ranger and finish my plan…' the monster thought to himself with a small smirk form on his face.

And fate seemed to be on his side because a few moments later, the true Black came stumbling and falling a few feet away from him, coughing heavily.

"Looks like fate is on my side," Swan Song groaned out as he began to walk towards the downed ranger but as he got close, he noticed the ranger getting up on his feet.

And then he heard footsteps coming from a distance followed by the scream of "Zack!" and without warning, he was forced to disappear as red beams collided with the large metal crates where he was standing.

Swan Song swiftly appeared on a small building and watched from afar as Yellow slowly walked up to Black and honestly, he couldn't believe his luck!

He didn't even have to try and get the two to meet!

This had to be fate because everything was falling into place.

He was far enough away from the two that all he had to do was sit back and watch the slaughter that was going to involve the two rangers.

"How unbelievable!" Swan Song exclaimed as he watched the enraged Yellow attack Black from his position. "Everything has gone to plan…Her anger is magnificent…" He muttered as yellow energy flowed around his body.

"Soon…My plan will come to fruition and her anger will lead to the success of Empress Rita," Swan Song said before he began to laugh.

But little did he know, three rangers saw him standing there from behind, his ranger form morphing into his monster form and before he knew it, he was struck in the back by the red beams of energy, causing him to fly off of the large crate and slam into the ground.

"I knew it had to be a trick!" a voice said from behind him.

Swan Song turned around to see Red, Blue, and Pink running towards him, their blade blasters locked on him.

Swan Song got to his feet and summoned his black feathered ax and slashed from right to left. All the arrows that came off the ax stayed in the air and glowed a bright white before charging at the rangers, striking all of them on various parts of their bodies, causing sparks to fly from their hit forms before the three flew backward and landed on the ground.

But Swan Song knew they wouldn't fall so easily.

He was ready for a fight and he wouldn't stop until it was all over.

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: Mighty Morphin Black Ranger]

Black didn't know what had happened.

One minute, he had fallen to the ground and the next; he had to avoid beams of energy trying to hit him.

Despite being hurt, he forced himself to his feet, summoned his ax in his right, and used it to steady himself. Black looked up to see who it was that was attacking him, he paused.

Walking towards him was his teammate and one-time best friend, Trini Kwan, who was also known as the Yellow Ranger.

He was glad to see her unharmed and thought perhaps her nearly hitting him was a mistake but as he watched her get closer, he began to get worried as she changed her blaster to its blade mode.

"Tri-" Black didn't get a chance to finish her name as his head was kicked so hard from her swift roundhouse kick, his visor wound up cracking from the blow and he was sent sailing against a metal gate, which he tore through once his body collided with it.

Rolling on the ground in pain, Black clawed himself to his feet but was instantly kneed in the head, causing him to skid on the ground where his body slammed into the tires of the truck, causing it to deflate and lower.

Black used the truck to claw himself up as pain and shock filled his being as he saw Yellow walking towards him with her blade blaster in its blade mode and there was this dark, sickly purple energy flowing around her.

What the hell had he missed?

"Trini! What the hell are you doing?!" Black yelled with a strained voice as he watched Yellow slowly move the blade from her left hand to her right, almost taking her sweet time in reaching him.

As if she was enjoying stalking him like this.

Black didn't know what had come over her but he knew that he had to stop this before he was going to die. As he tried to take a step forward, his shoulder was nailed by the blast of her blaster, causing sparks to fly from his shoulder as well as pain to flow through him.

"You aren't going anywhere," Yellow stated coldly as she blasted his left knee, forcing Black onto his right knee as he gritted his teeth. The ranger pulled out his blaster and pointed it at her but his vision wavered, causing two Yellow's to appear side by side.

"Trini! I don't know what the issue is but I'm not your ene-" Black was cut off as his chest was hit by the energy, causing not only pain to ripple through his body but it knocked the air out of him.

He was truly on the verge of unconsciousness now. The best he could do with his injuries was to try and get some help but how was he going to get away from Yellow, who was getting frightfully close?

Gritting his teeth, Black used all of his strength to pick up his blaster and fire straight at Yellow, who was hit in the chest, causing sparks to fly from her chest and sending her to the ground. Black took this chance and leaped to the side as Yellow, leaning up from the ground, began to fire her blaster at him.

Sparks showered Black's body as he landed behind steel garbage cans. Despite his blossoming wounds, Black pressed the hidden button of his communicator and groaned, "Red, I seriously need some help. Yellow has gone crazy."

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]

With a yell, the three rangers were once again sent sprawling to the ground as smoke rose from their ranger suits.

Ever since they got into this battle, this monster had been transporting every which-a-way to avoid them and when he did, his feathers would remain and explode on command it was not only painful for them, but it was aggravating as well.

They could not catch him.

"This is hella annoying," Pink uttered while getting on her feet with the help of Blue, who was using his lance to keep himself upright. Red stabbed his blade through the ground and forced himself to his feet, all three of their bodies smoking due to the constant attacks.

"Well look at this, the Power Rangers are unable to stop me. I have amplified the anger and hatred within the heart of your Yellow Ranger, which is amplifying my power. So twisted is her rage that she will kill him and then once I kill the three of you, I will kill her, thus cementing myself as the ranger killer," Swan Song taunted with a strained but victorious laugh leaving his lips.

"I am becoming furious with our lack of finding a way to defeat this monstrous poultry," Blue said with a calm voice, his hand gripping his lance tightly.

"I know, we just need to remain vigilant in destroying this creep so we can find Zack and Trini," Red said, and not a few seconds later, Red's communicator gave off that familiar chime.

But before he could answer it, more black feathers darted out towards the three without any hesitation, Red rolled to the wall to his left while Blue and Pink jumped to the wall to the right, taking cover as the feathers exploded, causing a large amount of smoke to billow in the area, blocking the sight of the monster.

Once he was behind the wall, Red pressed the button on his left wrist, raised his left wrist to his mouthpiece, and announced, "Yellow, please let this be you."

"Red, I seriously need some help. Yellow has gone crazy."

The joy Red wanted to feel at hearing Black's voice immediately faded when he absorbed his friend's words.

"Was that Zack?" Pink asked as she turned to Red sharply, nearly at the same time as Blue and he would have laughed if things weren't so severe at how fast they had looked at him.

Moving his left wrist to his helmet's mouthpiece, Red said, "Damn it Black, it's good to hear your voice again but I can see why…This creep Swan Song made her think you were betraying us to Rita and tried to kill her. "

"…Fuck me. Do I have a note on my back saying "Kill me" on it? Because it seems like I'm getting into these situations a lot," Black responded before coughing violently, causing Red to frown heavily.

Black sounded as if he was in agonizing pain and if they didn't get there quickly, it may be too late to save him.

"Just try and hold her off or hide, we will get to you," Red said with conviction in his voice but then the sounds of something exploding cut off the line.

Damn it!

This was not going well at all!

"We need to get to Zack before she kills him for something he didn't do!" Red yelled to his two teammates, who nodded in agreement but then he said "We need to get out of here and get to them quickly!"

"But what about our nefarious foe?!" Blue asked his leader. "It's not like he will let us go!"

"Which is why we aren't going!" Red responded before turning to Pink, who would have stared at him in shock if her entire head wasn't covered in her helmet.

"Pink, you are the only one that can get through to Yellow before me and Blue. You are truly the only one who can do this! Blue and I will stay back here and hold him off as long as we can. Just tell us when you manage to stop them so we can get out of here!" Red exclaimed to the pink ranger.

Pink lowered her head, an unsure look on her hidden face.

It was true, She was able to calm Trini down during her rare anger-filled rant but the issue was that Trini was in a place none of them had ever been in and she wasn't sure if she was able to bring her back from the brink of madness.

"Pink…If anyone can persuade Yellow from her road of vengeance, it is you," Blue told her with an encouraging tone, causing her to look up at him with a small smile on her face. It was strange how her best friend could know when she was unsure about something.

Then again, Billy was always smart enough to read certain body movements, especially when it came to her.

Pink nodded quickly before running as fast as she could away from her two friends, leaving Red and Blue alone.

The two nodded at each other and darted out of their hiding spots before leaping in the air with a shout, the two came out of the remains of the smoke and nailed Swan Song in the chest, sending him flying backward into a bunch of wooden crates.

The two rangers landed and took a step forward when a band of putties appeared in front of the two, causing Red and Blue to take a step backward.

Swan Song stood up and announced, "I wish I could stay and chat but I have to see my plan succeed. Ta-ta!" And with that, the villain disappeared with black feathers.

Leaving the two alone with a group of putties advancing towards them.

[Location: Angel Grove Harbor
POV: General]

With a clash of steel and sparks, Yellow's blade blaster collided with Black's ax before their helmets met in a hard crash, and while Black's eyes held both fear and worry, Yellow's eyes were calm beneath her helmet.

"Trini, I wasn't the one who tried to kill you or betray the others! The others are fighting the one that set me up!" Black yelled as he kept her blade in line with his weapon.

Since the fight had started, Black had tried to tell her what Red had told him but she did not believe him and was truly going to kill him if no one was going to stop her and considering how screwed up he was at this moment, it wouldn't be long until he died.

"You are a liar," Yellow coldly whispered while she removed her blade and tried to strike him from a downward angle but once again, he managed to block it, leaving his head unguarded for her to punch him, sending him sliding backward.

Yellow dashed forward and with a yell, tried to piece his head, but Black blocked it with his ax.

"It's not a lie! That monster attacked me and forced me under the water a ways away! I had nothing to do with your attack! Why won't you just believe me?!" Black shouted in anger.

"Because you are nothing but a damn liar!" Yellow shot back with fury.

Black let out a rather dark growl as he pushed more of his ax against her blade but Yellow managed to force his weapon into the air and strike him down his chest with the bladed weapon, causing Black to soar backward as sparks flew from his chest.

Black landed on the ground hard but swiftly got back on his feet but was forced to summon his power ax back into his hands to block the swing of her blade, causing the two to meet once again.

"Why can't you just believe me that I didn't do all the shit you say I did?!" Black shouted, trying to make sense of her wrath.

Yellow scowled and responded, "Don't you dare ask that of me after all that you have done!" Before she leaned down and tripped up her rival, causing him to fall to the side where she quickly leaped up and tried to stab him in the head.

Seeing death flash across his visor, Black swiftly rolled away from Yellow, causing her blade to cause a spider web crack to appear on the ground.

Rolling up to his knees, Black placed the top of his ax on the ground to steady himself, saying "Trini…You know me…I would never do that to hurt you or the others…You need to believe me…"

"You talk big about trust and believing in others but you don't preach it!" Yellow shouted angrily at the hurt Black, causing him to flinch lightly.

"I trusted you once Zack…I trusted you with all of me and you threw it away so don't you fucking ask me to trust or believe in you!" She screamed again before darting towards him.

Lifting himself to his feet, Black managed to leap over the lunge from her sword and rolled to the ground upon landing where he continuously stopped every strike of her blade with his ax, with each collision causing sparks to fly from their steel.

Black managed to land a quick kick to her stomach, making her stumble backward but he lost his footing as he stumbled backward onto the ground as well, wincing in pain when he landed.

Without missing a beat, Black flipped onto his feet and narrowly avoided the end of the blade that had lunged out at him from his opponent.

'I need to be quicker, that really would have killed…I can't believe she's so intent on thinking I'm the enemy that she would kill me,' Black thought to himself while swiftly stumbling to the side to avoid her second swipe that would have taken off his head.

"Stop running you coward and fight!" Yellow shouted at him while he fell onto one knee, his injuries becoming more agitated with every quick move he made.

"Well…I am trying to stay alive. That a problem?" Black asked in a strained but sarcastic tone in his voice.

"What do you think?" She responded with a harsh laugh before dashing at him and began to swing and thrust her armed weapon towards him, causing her blade blaster to nearly slice and stab into him as he maneuvered and blocked every strike she delivered.

But then when he tried to block the upward slash, Yellow saw the opening she needed and kicked struck him in the chest with her foot, making him stumble back and before he knew it, her weapon had struck him violently in the chest, causing him to yell in pain as sparks flew from the hard strike from his chest.

He could feel the malice joy emanating from her as she struck him again in his chest, causing him to stumble back as more sparks flew from his chest to the point where sparks were bouncing from her body.

With a kick from Yellow, Black slammed into a truck bed and it was then where Yellow began her ruthless assault in striking him repeatedly with her blade, causing screams of pure agony to leave his lips with every single hit that landed on his body.

But then she grabbed him by the arm and with all of her might, Black was tossed into the air and landed hard on a stack of wooden platforms, causing them to crack and break around him, and with that, Black demorphed into the extremely wounded Zack.

With a groan of pain, Zack opened his eyes only to close them as a blinding light from the street light above shined down above him.

He could hear her footsteps coming towards him and slowly, he tried to force himself to move but he couldn't anymore. He was so tired…So weak…And as the footsteps stopped right before him, he was so dead…

"Tri-Trinity…" Zack started, using her full name instead of her nickname, hoping it would get her to halt and it did thankfully. "Y-You don't need to…" Zack continued but he had to pause to get some air back into his lungs it was then that Yellow interrupted with a cold laugh.

"You know something, Zack…" Yellow whispered. "Before that day…I thought…I thought that we would be together…That nothing would tear us apart…"

"You must hurry Kimberly, Trini is going to hurt Zack badly!" Alpha yelled through the comms in her helmet.

Pink felt her heart beating faster as she quickened her pace more.

She had been running through this maze for ten minutes and hadn't heard or seen her two friends yet and knowing that any moment now, Zack would meet his end by their friend frustrated her to no end but as she turned a corner, she heard something on the other side of the wall.

"Before that day…I thought…I thought that we would be together…That nothing would tear us apart…"

"That's Trini's voice…" Pink whispered in surprise before she realized something else as well.

She was speaking to Zack!

Which meant he was alive!

She had to get there as quickly as possible!

But as she looked at the wall, she realized it was too high up to jump over, even with her enhanced abilities so she was forced to have to continue running but at least now, she knew where the two were.

'Please hang on guys! I'm on my way! I just hope I'm not too late!"

"I truly thought that you were my best friend. That you cared for me…But when I needed you most…You left me alone…You left us alone," Yellow continued as tears welled up in her eyes.

As she spoke, she could remember her father's stone-cold face lying on the pavement as tears poured down her face, begging and screaming for help but she pushed it out of her mind as she stared at Zack, who was barely clinging to consciousness at this point.

She knew there was a chance he was too far gone in his pain to understand what she was going to do but as she pointed her blaster at him, her hand shook as her she said with a wavering voice, "But you never cared…if you did, you would have kept your word but because you didn't, I lost my father…And what makes it worse is that you act as if it never happened…"

At this point, she could feel her tears falling down her cheeks as she steadied her hand and with a cold voice, she said "I loved you, Zack…I thought you were the best thing in the world…But after all that you have done to me…I only want you to die…"

Placing a foot on Zack's chest, Yellow whispered "Goodbye.…" as she began to push the trigger.

Pink found herself entering the area and saw Yellow slowly pushing the trigger and quickly shouted "No!" before she notched her bow and shot a single pink glowing arrow that struck Yellow's hand, causing her to drop the blaster onto the ground.

Turning around in pure anger, Yellow saw Pink standing there at the entrance of the large area, her bow pointed straight at her. "Enough…" Pink said loudly while keeping her bow on her friend, who was just about to make the ultimate betrayal.

"What are you doing here, Pink? Trying to stop me from killing this traitor?" Yellow said in a calm voice, slowly reaching down to grab her blaster but a pink glowing arrow slammed against the blaster, making it skid away from her.

"Stopping you from trying to kill a friend…" Pink said with steel in her voice.

Yellow let out a sharp laugh as she turned to the now unconscious Zack and scoffed out, "Him? He's the friend? Pink, you must be truly naïve to think that!"

"I am not naïve! I know the truth! Something you fail to see!" Pink responded with a shout. "Zack was attacked by Swan Song and was framed by him! The damn monster told us himself!"

"He's lying to you! That monster could be working with this traitor!" Yellow shouted out in return. "Did you ever think about that or is your mind on a vacation?!"

Pink scowled and shouted, "No but it looks like yours is! I don't know what issues you have with him but they don't need this resolution! Do you think it's right?! Trying to kill someone innocent?!"

"He is far from innocent!" Yellow screamed with anger in her voice. "He has blood on his hands. Blood that was my own! You don't get to tell me of his innocence when I know for a damn fact that he is guilty!"

"So you deem whose guilty and innocent in this world now?!" Pink exclaimed with rage in her voice. "You deem who lives and who dies all because of your inner demons?! So if Jason or Billy or myself ever piss you off, you're going to kill us in retaliation?!"

"Y-You don't understand! He has to be the one who tried to kill me!" Yellow said with a stammer.

"Why is that? So you can exact your revenge on him without us batting an eye?" Pink asked angrily while slowly advancing on her friend before saying "You think we would let you hurt him without finding out the truth first? Swan Song framed him and you were just a key player in his game."

Yellow couldn't believe it.

She wouldn't!

Zack had to have been the one to attack her.

He had to be!

But as she thought back on it, she realized something. Zack was still hurt due to his battle with that knight he had told them about.

He wouldn't have been able to fight at full strength in both fights, with nearly killing her in the first and being on equal footing in the second.

Not to mention that he kept trying to stop her and stayed on the defensive the entire time while she continued to fight him.

She heard the true terror in his voice that she didn't hear when she fought him the first two times…

It was then she felt horror fill her being as she realized that despite what he had done in the past, Zack wasn't the one that tried to kill her today.

Her friends…And Zack himself had told her…But she didn't listen.

She was so driven by vengeance for him trying to kill her as well as her past that she ignored them all and nearly killed someone loyal to her friends and their goals.

She may have hated him…But she didn't want to kill him when he was innocent of the charges of betrayal "I-I…" she started to say but nothing would come out of her mouth.

The purple energy around Yellow's body began to lessen until it was completely gone and it was then that the feather disintegrated into dark purple particles of light.

She had nearly killed him…

For something he had never done…

Yellow fell to her knees as bitter tears fell down her cheeks as Pink stood in front of her. Slowly, the other ranger kneeled before her and silently wrapped her arms around Yellow as her friend wept over what she had nearly done.

Pink knew that while this secret history between Zack and Trini wasn't over yet, at least for now, she could say this episode was dealt with…

She just hoped something like this wouldn't have happened again…
