One Team, Two Olivers

By: Lawali

Notes: Thank you for the reviews. Yes, Kat was told to get the purple coin but I did mention that the lake was crowded. She really just needed to get a coin and get out of there. Someone told me that I needed more Adam/Jo romance. Trust me, there will soon be so much of it that you all will be begging me to stop it. Actually there will be some more romance in this chapter.

A few of the next chapters are going to be pretty much the same as the show. I want to get Kim/Kat storyline correct. I'm adding a little and subtracting a little. Plus I have to weave Jo into the mix and add in that romance I promised.

Chapter Ten

Tommy had placed Kimberly on a bed that Billy had caused to appear. Billy then got out a device and started scanning her. The pink energy continued to flow from Kimberly. Tommy held onto Kim's hand and was looking very upset.

"How is she?"

Billy finished scanning her and punched a few buttons and then shook his head, solemnly. "She's in deep sleep. But the loss of her power coin is weakening her extremely. If we don't get her coin back," He paused, putting the device down. "There won't be a pink ranger anymore."

Jo was standing back with the other rangers. They could only look helplessly at their unconscious friend.

"There's gotta be something we can do. We can't lose Kim." Jo said, leaning back into whoever was behind her.

Adam felt someone lean into him and his arms wrapped around the body of the petite brunette without his realizing it. As he looked down at the person in his arms he realized that it was Jo and released his hold on her hoping to pass it off as a hug to calm her.

"Alpha, begin a scan for an alternate power source capable of matching the Power Coin." Zordon ordered.

"Isn't that what my coin is for?" Jo asked, stepping away from Adam's warm embrace.

"Your coin is to enhance the powers in our coins while Zordon reenergizes. Without her coin, your powers can't help." Billy reminded her.

"Plus our Zords were damaged in the battle with Goldar. It's going to take time to repair them and get them back up." Adam said, joining Billy at the controls.

"How are we going to do that with Zedd in control of the Falcon Zord?" Rocky asked.

"It doesn't matter…" Jo started.

"We can't let Kim down." Tommy said, returning to her side and taking her hand once more.

"And she's counting on a bunch of losers." Zedd laughed from his perch in the Moon Castle.

Zedd turned and walked inside from the balcony grasping his staff as he spoke.

"Things are going just as planned. Kimberly's Power Coin has gained us access to the Falconzord and as soon as Finster finds a way to siphon the Purple Coin's power, we'll use it and the Power Coin to take control of all the Zords and use them to take over Angel Grove. All we need is seven pilots."

"Like the Rangers themselves?" Rito suggested.

"Yes, you imbecile, just like them."

"They'll never pilot those Zords by choice, Zeddy dear."

"And they won't. We'll use their precious Pink Ranger to encourage their cooperation." Zedd said, gleefully.

"Excellent. They'll destroy Angel Grove and then the world will bow to us!" Rita cackled.

Rito and Goldar voiced their approval with grunts of triumph.

Jo walked around the table quietly. Kim was still sleeping, her energy continued to drain. Alpha was tucked away in a corner in stand-by mode. Zordon was gone from his energy tube.

She paced back and forth in front of Kim. She knew the others wouldn't agree but she blamed herself for everything that was going on. She wasn't used to being the reason everyone was getting hurt. She stopped next to Kim and put her hand on her friend's arm.

"Don't worry, Kim. We're gonna fix it. I promise."

Jo looked up suddenly as the Center filled with light. She glanced down at Kim and then back up into the eyes of Adam.

"Had a feeling you'd be here." Adam said.

"Yea, well, I practically had to force Tommy to go home and get some rest. He'd been here since this afternoon. I finally forced him out about 10:30."

Adam looked down at his watch: quarter after twelve. He walked around the head of the table to join Jo's side. He looked down at Kim's unconscious form as more pink energy ran over her body.

"Has she woken up yet?"

"No. She hasn't moved; not even her eyes."

"Her eyes?" Adam inquired.

"You know, REM sleep. Your eyes move under the eyelids. Hers have been totally still." Jo sighed.

Adam looked at her with concern he couldn't mask. He could tell that she was upset; of course, they all were. He glanced around to see that their mentor was absent and Alpha in sleep mode.

"Listen, uh, about what happened earlier. Um, at the lake." He laughed nervously and returned his gaze to Kim. "I wanted to apologize. I don't know how it happened…"

"Adam, nothing did happen." Jo reminded him.

He laughed nervously again and glanced at her quickly before looking down on their fallen friend once more. "Yea, well, I just wanted you to know that.. Um, there aren't any expectations."

"Expectations?" Jo questioned. She was looking straight at him, not as embarrassed as he was.

"Well, yea. I mean, apparently everyone knows that I like you and-"

"Whoa, wait. You like me?" Jo asked, desperately trying to hide the surprise in her tone.

"You couldn't tell?" Jo shook her head. "Oh, well, Billy said that everyone could tell. Anyway, I don't want you to feel that I have expectations. I mean, you know, earlier I almost kissed you and uh…"

Jo interrupted him by placing her hands on either side of his face and turning his head to make him look at her. She smiled at what she saw in his eyes.

"Adam, don't apologize." Jo paused. "I wanted you to kiss me."

She stood slightly on her tip toes and pulled him toward her. She closed her eyes just as her lips found his. Her hands released his face and wrapped around his neck and she felt his arms circle her waist.

Note: Ok, short chapter, I know. I just wanted to make sure none of you thought I forgot about this story. Hope you enjoyed the ending. Another slight cliffhanger.
