"Sir Firealot." Rita commanded. "Get into position and attack when I orders." she told the monster. "Of course, mi lady." he bowed to her through the telescope. "Oh, Zedd. He's such a gentlmen. Unlike someone." she looked Zedd up and down. ********************************************************************************* "So how'd it go with Danziger?" asked Kim. They both sat down on a log. "Pretty good. It's been a while since I could work on a car, or, ah a TransRover." he smiled. "How was your morning?" "Awful. First I walk in on Alonzo and Julia kissing and then nobody was even here to talk to me!" "Sorry. Next time just join in with us." he smiled. "You, of all people, should know I am not a car person." "Ya. I figured that!" he looked down, "Kim, look ah, I'm sorry if I wrecked your PJ's this morning." She laughed. "Fake silk! Don't worry about it. They will be just fine." "Glad to hear it! I would hate to be the one that ruined a Paris original!" he giggled. "Ya, more like a K-Mart original! It's kinda hard to get the good stuff when your mom lives away and you don't work!" "I can understand." he looked around. "Tommy?" he turned to face her. "I want to go home." he put his arm around her to comfort her. "I know you do. We've just got to hope that the others find us soon. What were you going to do at home, anyways?" he asked. "Well, I was going to enroll in Angle Grove High again, find a place to live and try to be happy again." "Why was Florida so bad?" asked Tommy. He noticed the tears in her eyes. "I missed everyone. I missed you. I missed the Rangers. I missed the Youth Center and I missed pizza!" Tommy looked confused, "they don't let me eat pizza when I'm training." she told him. "That's not what I was confused about. I would have thought you were having the time of your life. You were training for a major event, you had the best coach and you had a new guy." "Nothing could compare to life in Angle Grove with you guys." she leaned into his shoulder and just rested there. It made her think of old times. Old times that she missed. ****************************************************************************** "NOW!" screeched Rita. She directed her wand at the monster in the future on the other planet to give it more strength *** "Zordon! Rita just sent a beam into the future." "GOOD ALPHA! FOLLOW IT. IT IS THE ONLY LEAD WE HAVE SO FAR. I WILL CONTACT THE OTHER RANGERS." ****************************************************************************** Tommy held Kim against him and watched this world go by. People always seemed so busy on this planet. He liked the other world he was from. He also liked the way he was...with Kim in his arms. "Where is the Ranger and friend?" commanded a british voice. All the colonist ran away sreaming. Tommy knew those kind of screams anywhere. "Kim. Think you're up to this?" he asked as he pulled her to a standing portion. "Well, if I don't who will?" they raced to where the people were running from. "Weird!" Kim squealed. "It's been a while since I've seen something so ugly!" "That was not nice, little girl!" the monster shoke his finger his bony finger at Kimberly. "Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Sir Firealot." he bowed. "Well nice to meet you, but it won't be long!" yelled Tommy. "Ya, see ya!" Kimberly screamed. "Tommy," Kim whispered to Tommy, "What are we going to do? We have no Powers!" "We have ourselves. All we can do it try. Lets try to lead him away from camp though." Tommy started to run. "Right." she followed along with the monster in tow. "It's working!" when they were far enough away from camp they stopped. "Let's rock!" Tommy posed. "Say, bye bye, sir!" Kimberly also posed. The monster shot fire out of his mouth. Tommy and Kimberly flipped to get out of the way. The fire hit a tree and it set fire. Tommy and Kim shared worried glances. "There is no need to try to run away good people. You will be destroyed." the monster shot again. One bolt of fire at Kim and one at Tommy. They both jumped out of the way in time and meet back together. "Tommy! Try to morph again! I know it won't work but go go go!" "Alright," he sad confused, "It's Morphin Time!" he extended both his arms. "Nothing, huh?" he shoke his head. The monster shot out more bolts and they both just barley got away. "Kim run!" Tommy ordered, "I'll try to handle this!" he stood in front of her. "No Tommy! You can't do this on your own!" she screamed. "Just go! I promised myself I would never let you get hurt, now go!" he turned to her and tried to push her. "Tommy, I'm not leaving you." The monster shot at them and they both avoided it. The monster shot another staight at Kimberly. "Noooo!" Tommy screamed and jumped infront of the fire beam. It hit in right in the stomach and made him fall backwards into Kimberly. "That was just a bit of my Power, Ranger. Until we met again." he bowed and disapeared. *** "Where did they go?" asked Alonzo as she rode along with Devon. "They took off in this direction. I'm not sure of exactly where. Keep your eyes peeled." Devon ordered. "Devon, look." Julia pointed to the trees that were now on fire, "I think we found them." *** Kimberly and Tommy sat on the floor. Tommy had fallen right into Kimberlys lap as he fell. "Tommy?" Kim looked at him. He was so still. "Tommy!" she screamed. She hit him lightly in the face. He didn't respond. She checked his pulse. It was weak but it was there and that was all that was important and he was breathing. "You saved me, Tommy." she wept over him. "Now look at you." she hugged him lightly. She looked around. There was no one near her and she needed to get him help. "I got to get you back." she put her hands under his arms and started to drag him. He was to heavy and she feel over. "HELP!" Kimberly screamed. "Please someone, help me!" she screamed. She lay Tommy flat and leaned over him. Just then the ATV carrying Alonzo, Devon and Julia came into view. Kimberly waved the group over to her. Julia ran off the ATV and kneeled beside Tommy. "What happened?" Julia asked. "He," she sobbed, "saved me from the monster! It shot him with fire." "I can tell." Julia looked over his burnt shirt. "We got to get this off him." she nodded to the shirt. Julia slowly cut away his shirt and they all gasped. His once strong hard stomach was now full of blisters and burns. "Oh my god." Julia whispered. Kimberly drew away. She didn't want to think about the pain. "Will he be okay?" she whimpered. "Well, we'll have to get him back to my tent fast." she nodded to Alonzo. "Will you help me get him on the ATV?" Alonzo nodded and they all picked up the injured boy and placed him in the back of the vehicle. "Kimberly, make sure that he's okay. It may be a bumpy ride with this many people on it." she nodded. ****************************************************************************** "Ahhhh!" Rita screeched, "Tommy is injured! It doesn't look like he'll do too well, Zeddy." "Perfect my love." He laughed, "We should have thought of this earlier!" the both laughed together. ******************************************************************************
