Kim and Tommy were deep into the battle. Tommy was fighting with Zeltrax, as Kim was trying to ward off the Tyranodrones. Kim knew she shouldn't be fighting, she didn't have her powers anymore, but she wasn't about to let Tommy fight by himself. As long as she had air in her lungs, she would stand by his side.
When she was hit hard by one of the drones and sent flying to the ground, she looked up and saw the other rangers running towards them, "about time" she muttered as she got up and continued fighting. She was about to go help Tommy when she saw Zeltrax blast him with something. Tommy went flying and landed on the cliff. Kim screamed, "TOMMY!"
She ran to him and knelt down beside him, "Please Tommy, wake up. You can't leave me know. Not when we just started things up again!"
Kim was too involved with her concern about Tommy; she didn't hear Conner yell out her name. "KIM!" Just then, Kim felt herself being hit by a strange force. It sent her to the other side of the cliff. All she remembers was seeing Tommy's face before everything went black.
Once the battle was over, Conner, Ethan and Kira ran to Kim and Tommy, they tried to wake them, but their eyes weren't opening.
"Kira you help Ethan with Dr. O, and I'll carry Kim. We have got to get them back to Hailey."
He two nodded and did their best to carry Tommy back to Tommy's and Kim's car. Once the teens found the car keys, they flew down the street until they hit Tommy's house. When they pulled up, Jason and Rocky were already out there.
"We saw what happened. Are they ok?"
Conner shrugged, "I don't know."
Jason and Rocky went to get Tommy, while Conner carried Kim down to the command centre, where Aisha and Hailey had prepared the medical beds for them.
"Put them down, I'll tend to their physical wounds before I scan them."
They put Kim and Tommy down on the beds. Aisha and Hailey quickly went to cleaning their wounds. When they were done, Hailey scanned them to see what Zeltrax had hit them with.
"It seems Zeltrax has hit them with an energy beam, he his drawing their energies from them" Hailey said.
"How do we stop him?" Jason asked.
"Well, we will have to go into Mesogog layer and destroy the device that is collecting their energy."
Jason nodded, "Nothing is ever easy."
Hailey nodded, "I know. I will try and locate a portal, as soon as I do, I will send the rangers through the portal, and give them a device so they can detect where Tommy and Kim's energy is being collected."
Jason nodded, "Alright."
Aisha went to Jason and put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry Jase, they will be ok."
He nodded, "I know, I just hate feeling helpless."
Twenty minutes later, Hailey had found an active portal; she was calibrating the location into the rangers cycles.
"Once you're in, I will re-calibrate the exit location into your cycles. Just get in and get out, you guys can destroy Mesogog another day, right now, what is important is Kim and Tommy, we don't want you three to be hit by the same device."
Conner nodded, "Don't worry Hailey, we'll be fine."
Hailey nodded, as she watched the Rangers morph and mount up on their cycles, before she could blink they were gone.
"Please be careful rangers." They all whispered.
Once the rangers were inside Mesogog's layer, Ethan brought out the energy scanner Hailey had given him.
"All right I'm reading their signals about 20 meters away."
They nodded, and followed Ethan until they were led to a door.
"They should be right through here."
When the door opened, the rangers carefully looked inside.
"This is too easy." Kira whispered.
Conner nodded, "Just keep your eyes peeled."
"Alright, there is the device." Ethan said.
"Ok, point your lasers at it. On my command, we fire."
They all nodded and waited for Conner's count.
"One, two, three, FIRE!"
They fired at the device and destroyed it. It exploded, and they smiled.
"Alright, let's get out of here."
As they turned around they saw Elsa and Zeltrax standing there.
"Where do you think you are going?" Elsa said.
"Home, how about you?" Ethan asked.
Elsa shook her head, "ATTACK!"
Just then a group of tyranodrones came at them. Every time one was destroyed, another one came out of no where.
"We have got to get back to the cycles." Conner said.
"Easier said then done." Kira yelled.
When they managed to get a clean break from the drones, the rangers ran to where their cycles were.
"Ow!" Kira yelled.
Ethan turned around, to sit that Kira had been hit by one of the drone's weapons.
"You ok Kira?" Ethan asked.
She nodded, "Let's just get back."
The rangers arrived back at the command centre. Kira limped off her cycle before heading to Hailey.
"I was hit."
Hailey nodded, "Let's get you cleaned up."
Kira smiled, "Thanks."
"You guys did great! There energies aren't being drained anymore." Jason said.
"Then why aren't they awake?" Conner asked.
"There bodies are still weak, they need rest, they should wake up in a day or so." Aisha said.
"Why don't' you guys head home, you've had a long day. We've all called in sick to work for tomorrow, so we will be here when they wake up." Rocky said.
"I know it's early, but I am so beat." Ethan said with a laugh, as they made their way out of the command centre.
"They wake up soon Jason, don't worry." Hailey said.
He nodded, "I know, they are too stubborn not too."
Two days later
Kim's eyes slowly started to flutter open. She looked around and saw that she was in the command centre. At first she couldn't remember how she had gotten there, but then she remembered the battle with Zeltrax. She looked around and saw Tommy lying on a medic bed not to far from her.
She slowly got off the bed, but she was still weak, and her legs gave. She fell to the floor with a thump. She couldn't help but laugh at herself. She crawled over to Tommy's bed and picked herself up. She knew she wouldn't be able to support herself, so she managed to lift herself up on to the medic bed, and she lay next to Tommy.
"You have to wake up now Handsome" She said as she kissed his lips softly.
She smiled when she saw Tommy's eyes start to flutter. "Kim?"
She nodded, "Hey there handsome."
"What happened?"
"I'm not too sure on the details, but you were hit by something from Zeltrax, I'm guessing he hit me wit the same thing, because I've been out of it just like you."
He smiled, and pulled her close, "Well it looks like we are safe now beautiful."
She smiled and snuggled into his chest. "That we are."
Tommy kissed the top of her head. He didn't want to move from his spot, but he knew they would eventually have to.
"Well if it isn't the two sleeping beauties!" Jason laughed from the stairs.
Tommy and Kim lifted their heads. They smiled when they saw their three friends standing their smiling at them.
"If you two can detangle from each other, we would like to run another scan on you, and you can continue your closeness after we leave." Rocky said
Tommy glared at him, "What makes you think that your offer is more appealing then the one I have right now?"
Rocky smirked, "Do you really want me to answer that?"
Tommy looked at him and nodded, "Never mind, I don't want to know."
Rocky laughed, "You are no fun!
"I'm sure Kim will think he is a lot of fun" Aisha laughed.
It was Kim's turn to glare. "Aisha!"
She merely laughed, "you can think what you want, but I know you two too well. You won't waste another minute of your time together."
"That's what you think, we are taking things slow." Kim said.
Just then Tommy turned to her, "How slow is slow?"
They all laughed, while Kim glared at him, "Slower then that."
Tommy nodded, "Oh."
Rocky burst out laughing, "Oh this is priceless. He still isn't going to get some!"
Kim looked at him, "Is that all you guys think about?"
They all nodded, "Pretty much,"
Kim shook her head, "You guys need a hobby!"
They all laughed. The five of them then spent the rest of the day together, before Jason, Rocky and Aisha had to head home to Angel Grove. They all promised to stay in touch, and visit more often. Then Jason joked about getting a head start on the best man speech, which left Kim and Tommy a bit uncomfortable.
After they had left, Kim and Tommy had spent the rest of the day together, just enjoying each other's company. They had called an exterminator, and Kim would be able to head back to her place in two days. Tommy loved having Kim with him all the time, but he knew it was too soon to ask her to move in with him, so he decided he would wait. He smiled to himself with the knowledge that one day he would be able to ask her to move in, and even one day ask her to marry him, and they would be able to start the family, that they had been dreaming of since they were in high school.
THE END
Epilog
One year later.
Tommy was frantically pacing his in his living room. He and Kim had been living together now for four months, and they both couldn't be happier. In two weeks they were heading back to Angel Grove for Rocky and Aisha's wedding, but that was two weeks away. Tonight was about him and Kim. It was their one year anniversary, and he had plans of asking her to marry him. Kim would be home in any minute, but the anticipation was driving Tommy nuts.
He had decorated the place with candles and pink and white roses. He had ordered her favorite food for supper, and their song was waiting in the CD player, desperately wanting to be played. He pressed play when he heard Kim turn to door handle.
Funny when you stop and think I know its hard to believe Kim stood there looking at Tommy with tears in her eyes. The scene before her was something out of a dream. The whole place was lit with candles, and had rose petals on the floor, and she could their song playing in the back ground. She but her briefcase down and made her way over to him.
times goes faster then you blink
nothings ever like it was
but girl we've got a special thing

I still dream about you
I still want you
and need you by my side
I'm still mad about you
all I ever wanted was you
your still the one 2x
"Tommy what's going on?"
He smiled and held out his hand, "Dance with me?"
She nodded.
It's hard to breathe when were apart And I know its hard to believe Tommy pulled her closer, he never wanted to let her go, she was so much apart of him, that he didn't know what he would do if he ever lost her again. While holding her he was slowly starting to gain the confidence that he needed in order to ask her to marry him.

I keep you here inside

I still dream about you
I still want you
and need you by my side
I still mad about you

If you love me I still think about you As the song ended, Tommy slowly pulled away from Kim. She looked at him, with so much love in her eyes. They had been through so much together, and here they were together at the end of it. Tommy gave her a soft kiss before speaking.

I've been waiting all my life

"I wanted to do something special for our anniversary" he said.
She smiled, "Well mission accomplished, this is amazing Tommy!"
He nodded, and got down on one knee. He looked up at Kim who was looking at him in total shock. He reached for her left hand as his right hand reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring.
"Kimberly, I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. You were being hassled by bulk and skull. I remember thinking that you were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and I know, that I just had to b with you. I have loved you everyday since then. Even when you sent me that damn letter, I still loved you. I have loved you everyday of my life, and I want to spend the rest of my life loving you my wife. Kimberly Ann Hart, will you marry me?"
Kim stood their in shock. She looked down at the gorgeous two karat silver engagement ring that Tommy was holding onto. While she listened to his proposal Kim began to cry, when he finally asked her, she couldn't find the words at first, but then she smiled.
"I would love to marry you Tommy!" She said.
Her reward was the biggest smile she had ever seen on Tommy's face, as he slowly slipped the ring onto her finger. He stood up and enveloped Kim into his arms.
"You have just made me the happiest person in the world."
She kissed him, "Well I plan on doing that for the rest of my life."
He kissed her back. "I love you Kim."
"I love you to Tommy"
They were married three months later, in a simple ceremony on the beach with their closest friends and family. A year later they welcomed their first child, a daughter, they named Ava Aisha Oliver. They had twin boys two years after that, Jason Zachary Oliver and Rocky Adam Oliver.
