[Book 2] The Ranger That Betrayed Us

Chapter 11

I looked at Tommy with hidden determination plastered on my face, behind the pink helmet. Tommy looked down at us and laughed maniacally. He jumped off of his Zord and landed before us. He stood up to his full height. "Ranger! About time yous showed up! Did you like the little surprise present I left at the Command Center?" Tommy asked. "Ever since you joined up with Lord Zedd you've major pain in the ass." Billy said. Tommy chuckled. "Feeling's mutual." Tommy stated. "Let's end this, Tommy." Jason said. "With pleasure." Tommy said coldly. The five of us ran at Tommy. Tommy laughed as the five of us attacked him in unison. Tommy back-springed and landed behind Zack and swept his legs out from under him. Tommy sprung to his feet as Billy and Trini threw punches and kicks at Tommy. Tommy's hands rapidly parried Trini's punches and he used his legs to block Billy's kicks. Tommy was back stepping during Billy and Trini's onslaught of attacks. He grabbed Billy's leg and swung him into Trini with a shout. "Hiya!" Tommy said positioning himself into a fighting stance. I did the same when I felt something materialize into my hand. I looked at it. It was a bow. Tommy looked at me. "Where did that come from?!" Zack asked surprised. "No idea!" I exclaimed as I aimed the bow at Tommy. I pulled the string back and a pink glowing arrow was notched in between the string and compound bow. I let the arrow fly and Tommy jumped into the air and flipped sideways as the flew under him. Tommy landed on one knee as I let loose another arrow taking a step forward. Tommy sidestepped slightly and pulled his left shoulder back as the arrow flew by him narrowly missing his arm. Tommy stalked towards me and twirled his sword around in his hand. "Kimberly, Kimberly, Kimberly. When will you give up this stupid crusade to save me?" Tommy asked bringing the sword down towards me. I used the bow to protect me. Tommy was much stronger than me. His helmet was mere inches from mine. "I'll stop when I get you back." I said. "Then I'm guessing you'll never stop." Tommy said slamming his foot into my chest with so much force, I was sent flying backwards into the others.

Jason stood in front of us with a sword in his hand. "I'm taking you down, Tommy." Jason stated gripping the sword tightly. "Is that what you think? How did you fair last time?" Tommy asked. "This won't be like last time." Jason said. "Oh, Jason...it saddens me that you actually think you have a chance against me." Tommy said. "You never know if you don't try." Jason said with a shrug sprinting at Tommy with his sword raised. Jason jumped into the air and aimed his sword at Tommy. Tommy stood motionless staring at Jason. Until the last second, when he brought his own sword up and parried Jason's attack. Their fight was a blur of red and green, sparks, and metallic clangs as they clashed. Tommy inevitably got the upper hand and defeated Jason. Lord Zedd will be most pleased." Tommy said as he looked towards his Dragonzord and commanded it to look at us. "That doesn't look good." Billy said. The Zord walked towards us and aimed its hands at us. It fired missiles at us and the missiles erupted in front of us. The five Rangers flew through the air and crashed to the ground near the crater. I looked up at Tommy. Pain coursed through my body like an electric shock. I barely lift a finger with the amount of pain I was feeling. I heard the groans of pain coming from the others. "It's over, Rangers. Lord Zedd has won. There's nothing you can do." Tommy spat. I heard static in my helmet. "R-Rang..." I heard. My furrowed my brows as I slowly got to my feet. "Rangers! I know how to break the spell over Tommy." The voice said through the static. "Zordon?" I asked. "Yes, Kimberly. It is I." He said. "You're back." Zack said. "Permanently." Zordon stated. ""You said there's a way to save Tommy?" I asked. "Destroy the Sword of Darkness and hit Tommy with a big enough blow to render him unconscious." Zordon explained. "How do you suppose we do that? We can't get a hit on him." Trini said. "Work together as a team. You each have weapons of your own...use them if you want to get Tommy back." Zordon said. I looked at the others with a nod. "We can do this." Jason said. "Together." Zack said. Tommy looked at us cocking his head to the left slightly. My bow and arrow aimed at Tommy, Jason held his Power Sword in his hands, Trini held daggers, Billy held a lance, and Zack held an ax. I fired the arrow at Tommy and it was deflected back at me. 

I hadn't noticed that Tommy was holding two weapons in his hands. He held the Sword of Darkness in one hand and the Dragon Dagger in the other. "About time you made your weapons appear." Tommy said. We ran at Tommy and attacked him from all sides. We were finally getting hits in this time. We were winning. Jason kicked Tommy in the gut and Tommy went flying through the air into his Zord. Tommy crashed to the ground. "Damn, Jason! How hard did you hit him?!" Trini asked looking at Tommy's writhing figure down the street in front of his Dragonzord. I heard him groaning as he pushed himself up to his knees and to his feet. He looked at us. "I think we just pissed him off." Billy said. "Do you guys see that?" Zack asked. "Is he glowing?" I asked. Tommy was, in fact, glowing a green aura. He sheathed the Dragon Dagger and sound his sword in the air. It began to glow green as well. Green lightning sparking off the sword. "What's he doing?" I asked. "Nothing good." Jason said. Tommy let out a scream as he slammed the sword into the ground. A bolt of lightning smashed into the five of us. Tommy walked to us and drove his foot into Jason's gut with vengeance. He grabbed Billy and kneed him in the face before he threw him into Zack who was getting back on his feet. Trini pounced onto Tommy's back and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Get off!" He yelled grabbing her and flipping her over his shoulders and threw her to the ground. He grabbed my throat and lifted me into the air. "I'm done with these games!" He yelled as my airflow was restricted. "I think I'll just watch as the life leaves you." Tommy said as he grip grew tighter on my throat. He pulled me closer to his helmet. "Actually I believe...Lord Zedd...would want you dead bloody body at the feet of his throne." Tommy said as he put the tip of the Dragon Dagger to my gut. "Don't you think?" He asked. "Go to hell." I strained. "I'm already there." He countered pulling the Dagger away and pulling his right arm back and driving into my helmet. He dropped me to the ground. 

Tommy looked around at the fallen Rangers. "I was expecting a better fight from Power Rangers." He said shaking his head. He looked up at his Zord walking away. "You know what to do." He said as the Dragonzord's tail rose into the air and lifted towards us. My eyes widened. "Tommy!" Jason yelled on his feet. Tommy looked around at him. "Look who's back for more." Tommy said. "I'm ending this permanently." Jason said running at Tommy with the Power Sword. Tommy didn't have enough time to react as Jason brought the sword down on him. Tommy flew back as his grip on the Sword of Darkness slipped. Tommy crashed to the ground not far from Jason. Tommy grunted as he looked to see the sword in front of him. Jason's sword morphed into a blaster and he shot the Sword of Darkness. It disintegrated in front of Tommy. Tommy looked up at Jason. "It's over, Tommy." Jason said. Jason drove his foot into Tommy's helmet and Tommy flipped onto his back and went limp. The Dragonzord's tail drew back and the giant Zord headed back to the Command Center by itself. I limped over to Jason and the unconscious figure of Tommy. "Is it over? Did we break it?" I asked. "Hopefully." Jason said. "Are you sure he's just unconscious and not dead? Jason beat the shit out of him." Zack said. "He's not dead, Zack." Billy said. "Is he?" Billy asked Jason. "No." Jason said. "We need to get him to the Command Center." I said as Zack lifted him up and the six of us warped to the Command Center and de-morphed.
