A rock concert is usually no place for a Quantron attack, or a monster appearence. However, that has never stopped Astronema before. She sent down the LizWizard to cause havoc, and to kidnap the headlining act, Alanis Morrissette.
The Lightstar Rangers were in the audience, and with everyone else in the audience or on the stage in a complete panic, they quickly morphed, and went to work.
"Hold it, Rangers! We're taking Miss Morrissette with us, and turn her over to Astronema, and then..." He didn't get any further than that, because he was slammed to the ground by their reserve friend, Zack Taylor, the Black Morphin Ranger. Zack frowned "Man, you and this 'Astronema' babe have no right acting as the universe taste police!" He then brought his Power Axe into play, slamming it into the monster's chest. LizWizard screamed in complete pain & agony.
"Note to self:Stay away from that one!" With that, LizWizard tried to avoid Zack like he was a bad case of rabies, for all the good it did him. Zack stayed on him like a tight pair of jeans on Brooke Shields.
Kat Hilliard, meanwhile, was protecting fans with her Satellite Stunner, blasting Quantrons away. One, however, had gotten past her defense. "Oh, no you don't! Presenting the special at Chez Pink: Quantron Flambe!"
As the Pink Lightstar finished off her batch, Tanya, Zhane, & Adam trashed more in the front seats, and Tommy & Andros sent their gate-crashers packing, and Zack sent LizWizard on its unmerry way. "Miss Morrissette, are you all right? I know this does seem to be a bit much to handle."
"I'm all right, thank you. I heard that the original Black Ranger was back. Are the others returning too?" she asked.
"So far, I'm the only one, but you never know."
"Thank you again." Alanis said before being returned to her hotel by bodyguards.
Tommy smiled. "Great teamwork, guys."
"Looks like Zack's got himself a famous admirer." Andros grinned. This caused the Black Morphin Ranger to blush several shades of red beneath his helmet.
Kat smiled at first, then frowned "Guys, a Quantron got past me and nearly got 2 bystanders. I stopped him, but, what happens next time? What if I..."
Zack walked up to her. "Kim wouldn't have given you her power coin if she didn't think you could do the job. She believes in you, just as we do. You just need to believe in yourself."
"Thanks. I better go, I have a ballet class at the Youth Center in a hour. Zack, I'll see you tomorrow for my Hip-Hop-Kido lesson."
"Sure thing, Kat. Catch you later."
Kat soon appeared at the front doors of the Youth Center lost in thought. -How did Kimberly do it? I still have to wonder...- Her thoughts were interrupted by Quantrons...and LizWizard!
"Not again! Andros..." she spoke into her communicator, only to be slammed against a wall by LizWizard, smashing her comm in the process. "Sorry, no one else can party crash! It's all over for you, pinkie!"
Just as he was about to deliver the killing blow, however, he quickly recieved a sharp blow to the back. He whirled around, and got a right kick to his jaw, followed by a suckerpunch in the gut. The newcomer was at least a full 6 inches shorter than Kat, who was still clearing the cobwebs out of her head. Quantrons were being thrown left & right by the young woman, who then leaped & flipped out of the way.
Kat's mind snapped back into high gear as she yelled to the young woman. "KIMBERLY! Behind you!" She needn't have worried.
Kim had soon trashed most of the Quantrons, and had her attention on LizWizard. "What's the matter, Jurassic Park reject you 'cause you're just too damn ugly for words?" she snapped.
Turning to Kat, he yelled "You are so lucky to have so many friends. Next time, you won't be so lucky. TTFN, my pretty!" then, he vanished, along with every trashed Quantron.
Kim turned to Kat and grinned. "Well, that was fun. What was that all about?"
"Our latest headache, calls himself LizWizard. Fortunately, Zack's back in action, so that helps. Trashed my communicator, though..."
"Don't worry, I've still got mine, so we'll let the others know what's going on. Glad to see the Youth Center's still standing. I can still come here to practice in my own piece of heaven instead of that section of hell I rather stupidly went to." Kim started.
Kat was amazed. "You mean, you've left Florida for good?"
"That, and that I was out of my right mind to go there in the first place. He even began to say that my friends here were complete losers, and I'd best forget them! That little bit of news was the LAST STRAW! I told him where he, his damn proteges, and that stupid medal he wants can go, along with his damn center, and if he still didn't know, I'd be more than happy to draw him a map!" Calming down, she asked, "How did Zack get his powers back?"
"It seems that Zordon's escaped from Dark Spectre, and created new power coins. We still haven't heard from him yet, but it's only been a couple of days, so we're still hoping. Zack & Adam can tell you more." Kat finished.
"LADIES, I'M NOT FINISHED!" LizWizard snapped.
"Talk about having no patience! Kat..." Kim started.
"My digimorpher's in my purse, under the bushes."
"Go get it, I'll take care of our walking plate of calamari until you get back. HURRY!" Kim shouted.
It only took 5 seconds to get to her morpher, but as Kat was racing back she saw Kimberly jam her hand inside her purse and pull out her old morpher. In pure horror of what could happen, Kat screamed "KIMBERLY!"
"Guys, it's happening again! The Pterodactyl coin this time!" Zhane shouted to everyone.
Like before, the pterodactyl coin formed a pink aura, then teleported to Angel Grove.
"You know what this means. Kim's back." Zack smiled.
Kimberly shot her old morpher in front of her, just as the new coin placed itself into it, replacing the old coin. Realizing the big risk she was taking, she yelled "IT'S MORPHIN TIME! PTERODACTYL!"
A quick flash of pink light, and soon, Kim was back in her old outfit as the Pink Morphin Ranger. "Beat it you walking cappucino machines! POWER BOW!" quickly firing, she took out several Quantrons as Kat activated her morpher. "LET'S ROCKET!"
After contacting the others, Kim fired off a volley of shots at LizWizard, completely trashing his weapons and that teleporting tongue of his. Kat followed up by firing her Satellite Stunner at him, then slammed him into a tree. "That's for earlier, jackass!" she snapped.
The other Lightstar Rangers teleported to their side, along with Zack. "Well, looks like you didn't need our help after all, ladies. Hey, Kim, great to see you again."
"You, too, Zack. Black still looks good on you."
Astronema growled. NOT AGAIN! DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!!! FIRE THE SATELLASERS!
LizWizard soon shot to Gothic proportions. "Time for the big leagues, guys!" Tommy shouted. As one, the Lightstars yelled...
"WE NEED ASTROMEGAZORD POWER, NOW!"
"MASTADON-LION THUNDERZORD POWER!" Zack chimed in.
Kimberly thought for a second, then yelled... "PTERODACTYL-FIREBIRD THUNDERZORD POWER!"
A battlecry screech rang the air, then the Firebird Thunderzord appeared. "As beautiful as I remember it. Let's get to work, guys!"
The Firebird ignited, then dived at LizWizard, nailing him for the Lion Thunderzord and the AstroMegaZord double team, finishing the lizard off.
Kimberly grinned. "Gotta love it!"
There are probably young children reading this, so let's not go back to Astronema's Dark Fortress. They are too young to read or hear that sort of language.
On the Megaship, Kim was talking to Kat about self-doubts. "Hey, when I first became a Ranger, there were times when I asked myself 'What am I doing? Why am I here?' Look everyone has doubts about themselves at one time or another. The thing is, that you don't let those doubts get the best of you. See what I mean?"
"I do now. Thanks, Kim, it's still nice to hear. Zack & the others want you to come to the cargo bay. We've got a couple of presents for you.
Just as they did with Zack's old power coin, they took Kim's old coin and incorporated it into a digimorpher, giving her access to her own pink Galaxy Glider, with a Pterodactyl on the front. Adam thought "You know, Zack hasn't had a chance to try his glider out yet, so how about we give them all a test run?"
Zack smiled. "Sounds good to me. Kim?"
"Try and stop me."
Soon, 8 Ranger were zooming through space. Zack quickly got the hang of his glider, while Kim took to hers like an old pro. "So,Kim, how do you like being a Ranger again?"
"How do you like it?"
"I asked you first."
"Zack, there is nothing else like it. I am so glad to be back!"
"Me, too, but I gotta wonder, are we the only originals returning?"
Kim thought about it. "I've got a feeling Trini's next. I hope so, I still miss her."
Zack agreed. "Me, too, but one thing I've learned from being a Power Ranger, you never know what's going to happen next, but you know it won't be boring. HEY! They're pulling ahead of us! Shall we give these babies the juice?"
"Why, of course, Mr. Taylor."
"After you, Ms. Hart."
And off they went.
