A Million Words Of Love
Setting: ZEO Season, after 'The Power of Gold', going in exact order of second half episodes roughly, but there were a few episodes I really liked to put in a different light, new twist, like my very own Ranger Musical, but that comes later on. Rated M for later chapters to come, but the beginning's mostly T.
Author's Note: I stopped watching PR for the longest, after the letter during Zeo season. For one reason, because I could never believe Saban could be so cruel as to break-up the most powerful and wonderful couple of Kimberly & Tommy, then turn around and have the attraction of Katherine and Tommy within a year's time.
Second reason, I loathed Billy becoming a hermit, living in the Command Center as Zordon and Alpha's shipmate. So, I decided to do the Zeo season in my own way, yes there is some, okay a lot of Kat bashing, because I can! But it's all good and can see the reasoning behind my madness.
ENJOY!
Chapter 1: A Golden Welcome?
The mysterious Gold Ranger was teleported with the Red Ranger and Green Ranger partially holding him up. They arrived to the Power Chamber.
"Put him on the table quickly," Billy said. The 2 Rangers did so quickly to the awaiting table so Billy could examine their injured new friend.
"Is he okay?" ThePink Ranger asked.
"I don't know." Pink and Yellow Ranger removed their helmets first.
"He called himself Trey, there was 2 more of them before he passed out and became whole again."
"2 more?" Billy asked.
"I wonder where he came from?" A bright light appeared in the Power Chamber and a figure appeared from that light. Everyone shielded their eyes from the blinding light.
"Who the heck is that?" The Blue Ranger asked pulling off his helmet next.
"His name is Trey, Prince of Triforia. And he's my fiancé," A lady's voice said as she walked from the light. Everyone gasped. The figure appeared in view for all to see and pulled off her black hood. The Red Ranger pulled off his helmet immediately, as the girl's face came into view.
"Kimberly…." Kim's eyes locked with Tommy's eyes before she looked at the fallen Ranger with a golden shield lying on the table. The tie to her cloak undid, as she stood in an exquisite one-shoulder black gown, brilliantly detail at every stitch. An enchanting neckline features intricate pleating while a gorgeous hemline sweeps into a dramatic train. A crystal tiara to top it off, pulling back the front of her hair, rest hanging with spiral tight curls flowing down her back. Kimberly went over to the fallen ranger. She took his hand.
"He is from a race of beings on a planet many, many galaxies away where everyone has 3 distinct forms, personalities. But for the most part, they are joined together into one being. It is a race of peacekeepers. And he saved my life. How long has he been out?" Kimberly asked.
"Uh, a…a few minutes."
"Trey, Trey can you hear me?" A groan came, as his hand moved up to Kim's face. A lone finger ran down her face, as Kimberly smiled and took that hand.
"My love…"
"Hi."
"I was impatient. But I had to come back."
"I know."
"I'm sorry," Trey whispered.
"No, don't be. You helped save my friends." His arm went down, as his grip on her hand loosen. "Trey!" His head turned on the table. "Trey!"
"Let me examine him."
"Okay." Kimberly moved aside for Billy.
The first time the Zeo rangers encounter with the Gold Ranger, was when King Mondo tried a divide and conquer attack on the rangers. King Mondo sent out separate distress signals around Angel Grove, to get the rangers to break into 2 teams. 2 teams meant less powerful. Mondo figured he could pick off the rangers that way with the Wolfbane monster. The Rangers and Mondo wondered who this new Ranger is after the monster proves to be a hard challenge for the Rangers. A mysterious new Gold Ranger appeared and saved them from the Wolfbane monster, taking out cogs with ease. Gold Ranger uses his carrier zord, Prymidas to defeat the overgrown monster before disappearing.
The next time occurred after King Mondo had set his sights on the Gold Ranger's powers for his own personal evil. The Barax Bounty Hunter targeted the Gold Ranger, who allies himself with King Mondo to get the Gold Ranger. Tommy and Adam were bike riding up in the mountains when the Prymidas docked and cloaked itself. The Rangers were able to aid the Gold Ranger against the Barax Bounty Hunter. The Rangers are able to destroy the Bounty Hunter. The Gold Ranger was hurt and transported to the Power Chamber. The Gold Ranger knows Zordon and Alpha, which leaves the other Rangers puzzled.
And just today, a whole Squaderion of Barax Bounty Hunters chased the Gold Ranger in Space. Prymidas crash landed on Aquitar where the Gold Ranger demorphed. The Alien Rangers sent the Gold Ranger to Earth, where they knew the Zeo rangers could help him more.
"What are you doing here?" Tommy asked.
"I knew Trey was in trouble, I felt it. The whole Squaderion of Barax had been after him for a while now, at least that was our last conversation before he went off the grid and crashed. His powers were weakened severely from that battle and it has broken his unified link. He won't hold his form anymore and because of that, his gold ranger powers can be lost forever."
"How do you know all of this?" Adam asked, the Green Ranger.
"I told you. He's my fiancé."
"What can we do?" Tommy said quickly, feeling the distest and shock inside each time he heard the word "fiancé" from Kim's lips. Katherine stood a little ways away from Kimberly. She watched the exchange between Tommy and Kimberly. The way she spoke and the sadness in his eyes when she repeated the word 'fiancé' to him.
"He needs to transfer his gold ranger powers to another for the time being."
"But to who?"
"Anyone should do," Kimberly said looking up from Trey to Tommy. "But it must be done quickly."
"Billy."
"Billy?"
"That's right! Billy! He will be perfect," Rocky said. Kimberly smiled.
"That's why I knew he should come here. I knew you guys would be able to help him for now."
The Power Chamber alarm beeped.
"What is that?" Kimberly asked, being used to the old system's alarm.
"We got trouble," Billy said bringing up the image on screen. All heads went up to the new viewing globe. Kimberly looked up to see a monster.
"You guys should go deal with King Mondo' smon. I'll help Billy with the power transfer," Kimberly said.
"You do that," Tommy said. "Rangers, let's go." Everyone stood in a line. "Back to action!" The Zeo Rangers left.
Billy looked at Kimberly.
"Fiancé?" Kimberly smiled.
"Is there a problem with that?" Kimberly asked.
"No, I'm just…"
"Surprised? Yes, well, that can be expected. It has been a while and as I can see, much has changed. You can fill me in later. Are you ready to do this?"
"Sure."
"Let's get him awake, Bill. I know you have to be itching for some ranger action." Billy looked at her. "Okay, maybe not itching." Billy and Kimberly smiled. Trey was able to wake up on the table. His three forms appeared as he sat up.
"Is there a suitor?"
"Yes, Billy will take your powers until you are better."
"Good. Let us begin the process." Kimberly stepped back, as all Treys stood up. Trey of Heart raised his golden staff to the air. "Billy, it's time for you take upon the powers of my people."
"I am truly honored." A flash of gold light appeared from the staff and beamed on Billy.
"Gift of power, take flight! Billy, the golden power staff is now yours." Billy walked forward to take the staff but was blasted backward. All 3 Treys fell to his knees.
"Billy!" Kimberly ran over to him first. "Billy!" She helped him sit up. "Trey? Trey, what happened?"
"Billy is not a proper suitor." All Treys stood up.
"What, why not? He was a former ranger," Kimberly said helping Billy stand up. He shook his head a bit.
"I do not know, my love."
"I think I might have an idea." Billy did a bioscan of himself.
"Billy, what's wrong?"
"When the Command Center blew…"
"What?"
"Rito and Goldar placed bombs in the lower part of the Command Center and blew it up."
"Oh my god!"
"While during the first explosions, I was tossed into the panel. I seem to have absorbed a lot of negative energy because of that. I believe that is why my body was rejected by the gold ranger powers. It's like putting 2 magnets together."
"I'm so sorry, Billy." All 3 Treys fell back again, but this time Kimberly was there with Billy. "Trey!"
The computer beeped in. The rangers weren't doing so well against King Mondo's monster.
"It's too powerful for them," Kimberly said. Billy went over to the control panel.
"They won't last any longer in this battle."
"You must take up my powers, my dear."
"Wha…Me?"
"Your friends need you."
"I can't…Trey, there must be another way."
"I trust you, my love. My powers are the only thing that can help your friends. Take them." All Treys stood up with his other 2 forms surrounding Kimberly.
"Trey, wait, I can't be a ranger again, I'm a…"
"YOU MUST KIMBERLY. IT IS YOUR DESTINY TO FIGHT," Zordon said. Kimberly looked up at Zordon. Trey of Heart held his staff high above her. Kimberly closed her eyes before Trey. He smiled.
"Gift of power, take flight….I, Trey of Courage, give forth the spirit and fortitude the golden power possesses. And I, Trey of Heart, embrace you Kimberly, with the kindness and empathy the power holds. And I, Trey of Wisdom, place in your hands all the knowledge and experience of my people of Triforia. Use it well. " Kimberly's hand slowly went up as she took the staff. She flinched as she was beamed with a golden light and teleported straight to the battle. "Good luck, my love."
The Zeo Rangers were on the ground from the blast. A flash of gold and black raced down and stood before them.
"Billy?" The Red ranger asked struggling to get up.
"Oooh, another ranger to destroy."
"Think again." The Gold Ranger moved with quick speed, attacking the monster with quick blasts and kicks.
As the monster fell slowly to its back, as it was nearly destroyed, the Gold Ranger turned to the Zeo rangers.
"Wow, Billy, that was amazing!" The Blue Ranger said.
"Yeah, you really put an end to that monster!" The Yellow Ranger said.
"Sorry to disappoint you…"
"That's not Billy," The Red Ranger whispered right before the helmet of their new friend was removed. Kimberly stood before the rangers with a smile.
"Hi guys. Guess who's back." Everyone gasped. The monster was made giant and the Rangers were immediately transported back to the Command Center.
"Billy, what are you doing, we have to call the zords?"
"The zords won't be enough." Billy had been monitoring the battle and was able to connect the powers of the monster to the same as the Gold Ranger. Because of this, their zords would be useless in battle. The Treys came with a final gift for the Rangers. Keys meant to unlock the final essences of the Rangers' Zeo powers. Tommy takes the box from Trey and opened it. It held the Super Zeo Gems that were zords more powerful than any zords the Rangers have already had before.
"Kimberly, use the staff with your golden powers to regenerate the gems. Take care of the golden powers. It is our hope that someday, we will return to reclaim it." Trey touched her cheek with a smile. "Take care my love."
"Thank you. You can count on me." All Treys smiled before teleporting out. "Trey…" Kimberly stepped forward briefly, but they were gone. Kimberly and Tommy looked at each other. The computer beeped, as the monster was getting closer to the city.
"YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, KIMBERLY." Kimberly stood before Tommy after looking up at Zordon. She raised the golden staff to the gems. The Rangers used the mighty new Super Zeo zords to defeat the monster.
They returned to the Power Chamber after the battle.
"So, how did you get the powers, I thought…?" Rocky started to ask. Kimberly smiled.
"Uh, why don't we let Billy try to explain it better. I need to say goodbye to someone." They all went over to Billy. He told the tale to all the Rangers about his inability to be transferred the powers due to an enormous amount of negative protons due to the blast of the Command Center. Everyone gasped in shock. Billy said he was just happy Kimberly was here to take on the powers.
"Wow, I'm so sorry Bill."
"I know. But hey, at least Kimberly was here. " Kimberly finished up talking to Trey through the viewing globe, as he was on his way in a spacecraft back to his home planet to try and re-energize himself back to whole.
"Bye." Kimberly looked at Alpha with a smile and put her hand to his back. "Thank you, Alpha."
"No problem, Kimberly. It is great having you back."
"YES, IT IS GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN." Kimberly looked up at Zordon and her smile faded. She shook her head and walked back over toward the others. Zordon knew that was her signal not to press for more at the moment.
Tommy stood before her. She stopped abruptly.
"Oh, sorry, didn't see you. Hey."
"Hey," Tommy said.
"How are you?" Tommy shook his head as he looked at her with hurt and anger in his eyes. It barely took a few sentences later before the two were arguing. Everyone hushed behind them, watching the couple's exchange.
"What is your problem?" Kimberly yelled.
"How dare you come back here and throw that in my face?"
"I said goodbye to Trey, that is all! I came here to help Trey! Did I expect to be given these powers, hell no! I was here for Trey!"
"Oh, right Trey. I suppose that was him."
"Him?" Kimberly asked.
"Oh, don't act like that. I know he is the one that is so much like me."
"Wha...Yes, he is a ranger much like you, but no…. Trey is nothing like you."
"Right," Tommy huffed.
"I think I am confused here. Aren't you with Katherine now?" Kimberly asked.
"Don't you dare? You moved on! Why couldn't I?"
"Moved on! You are the one that…."
"Excuse me, I need to talk to you Kimberly right now," Katherine said quickly pulling Kimberly's arm.
"Wha…wait…" Katherine dragged Kimberly away from Tommy. Katherine pulled Kimberly out the main deck down the hall to talk to Kimberly alone.
Kimberly looked at Katherine.
"Why are we out here?" Kimberly asked as Katherine waited for the door to close completely.
"I need to talk to you, away from everyone," Katherine said.
"And you couldn't in front of your boyfriend?"
"We just recently started dating," Katherine said.
"Like it matters. What do you need to talk about?"
"Tommy."
"Oh god. Why?" Kimberly asked. "You know, what, I don't care. Because I think something is wrong with him. Maybe that hair is too long or something. How dare he act like he can blame me!"
"Because he thinks it is your fault," Katherine said.
"What?"
"I did something, something that I am not proud of. And I never thought..."
"Thought what?"
"I called you, back in February. Tommy was a bit depressed. He hadn't gotten any Valentine's letter or anything from you yet."
"That was my fault. I didn't put the right amount of stamps on it and it got sent back to me."
"I called you and I got this guy on the phone and he…I thought…"
"You thought what?"
"I assumed that he was…"
"I went away at a training camp during that week and by the time I came back, the package was still there. So, he didn't get a Valentine's on the day, that doesn't mean I was with another guy!"
"I assumed you were."
"You assumed wrong! How dare you! Did you tell Tommy that, is that why he stopped calling and writing?"
"No."
"Then I don't understand. He stopped calling since like February, March."
"I wrote a letter."
"A letter?"
"From you."
"You wrote Tommy… a letter, to him from… me?" Kimberly asked through clenched teeth.
"Yes, I wrote Tommy a 'break-up' letter from you." Katherine had tears in her eyes as she looked at Kimberly. Kimberly gasped. She stepped back from Katherine. "I didn't know what else to do!"
"You wrote my boyfriend a break-up letter? You manipulative bitch!" Kimberly slapped Katherine. Katherine held her face. "How dare you!"
"I thought you were cheating on him! That would have killed him if he found out!"
"You wrote a phony letter to my boyfriend!"
"You're with Trey now!"
"Because of you!"
"You're engaged to him!"
"Because of you! I can't believe you would do that! I can't believe you had the nerve to do that to Tommy and me!"
"I know I was wrong, but I…"
"Wrong?! You completely toyed with Tommy and broke us up, so you could be with him!"
"That's not how it happened!"
"Yes it is! You wanted him! You always did! And you got your perfect chance with that letter!"
"I was angry at you! I thought you were cheating!"
"You could have talked to me! No! You should have! But oh no! You go and write a phony letter to my boyfriend!"
"I just, I didn't want Tommy hurting anymore. He missed you so much. He would seemingly miss you calls so much and every week, he was...sad and..."
"So you broke us up, so you could have him to yourself."
"That's not how it happened!"
"How did it happened, Katherine? Did you wait a week, a few weeks, a month before you snagged your fingernails into him like a cat does it's prey."
"NO! It took him months, months to move on…get over you!"
"Oh, wow, months! Actual months! I should applaud you. You waited a few months. And yet, he did what you wanted just like you planned it."
"I'm sorry."
"He has to know."
"What? No!"
"He has to know!"
"I can't…please, you can't tell him!"
"He has to know!"
"He'll hate me!"
"Oh, so it's better he goes on hating me instead. I mean, why not make things just great for you."
"I don't mean that, I mean, why does he really need to know. You have moved on... wiitthh… Trey."
"I wouldn't be with Trey if not for your lies!"
"You still love Tommy?"
"Wha…no! Yes! I mean, I don't know, but what I do know is that Tommy deserves to know what a manipulative bitch he is dating now."
"I beg you, Kimberly, please, don't tell him." Kimberly walked to the doors. "Kim! Please!" Kimberly looked back at Katherine as the Power Chamber doors opened. She shook her head and walked back into the main deck.
Tommy looked back to see Katherine was crying.
"What did you do to her?" Tommy asked.
"Excuse me?"
"I could hear arguing from you two! What the hell were you two arguing about?!"
"Ask your girlfriend." Tommy grabbed Kim's arm, pulling her back.
"Don't you dare take that attitude towards Katherine. She has been nothing but a great friend to me and has helped me, when you simply threw everything away. She is not at fault here…" Kimberly looked at his hand roughly holding her arm.
"Let me go." Tommy looked at his hand squeezing Kim's arm. She jerked her arm from his grasp, rubbing the spot.
"Like I said, she is not the one at fault here, you are."
"Oh is that right?"
"Of course it is!"
"Is that a fact?!"
"You broke up with me!" Tommy yelled.
"I did nothing…"
"Don't Kimberly! You wrote that letter, you ended things!" Katherine appeared. Kimberly looked at her. "And now that I look at you, I don't know how I could ever have loved you. You were always selfish and self-centered." Kimberly looked at Tommy with wide eyes.
"Oh, is that right?" Kimberly asked with a slight smile.
"Of course it is! Everything has always had to be about perfect little Kimberly. Your hair, your nails, what you did, where you went. Don't be mad at Katherine, because she is better for me than you ever were. You are the one that is engaged now, so get off your high horse."
"You know what… you are exactly right. Wow, for once Tommy I see things so clearly now. I have finally see you, the true you. You two deserve each other, because as I stand here looking at you, I don't even know why I ever cared or loved you. I don't even know you any more. "
"And whose fault is that? I mean, I am just a brother, right?"
"No, you are nothing to me." Kimberly walked pass Katherine. "I hope that when the truth finally does come out, the truth destroys you both, because as of now, I couldn't care less about what happens to you or Tommy. And I will never forgive you for this." Katherine gasped.
Well, tell me whatcha think? Be kind, and review please!
Teaser: Chapter 2: Back in Basic Black
"How about a little one on one, with me?" Kim's eyebrow arched up at Tommy's questionable remark.
"I don't know, Tommy. She is mighty good," Rocky said, still holding his side after the beating.
"Yeah, but I taught her everything she knows."
"Well, I learned some new things," Kimberly said with a smile.
"Prove it." Kimberly walked back to the middle with Tommy beside her. They bowed. Tommy went to kick her, but Kimberly blocked that.
"Always coming with the kicks first."
"Just testing you."
"Test this." Kimberly did a spin kick and punch combo.
