�Hey,� Trini said as she sat down on the edge of the bed and Kim welcomed her with a groan as she covered her eyes to block out the light from the window. She was sure that it would give her a much worse headache than the one that she already had. �Tommy sent me up here, you want me to stay?�
�I guess,� Kim muttered as Trini cringed. Kim�s morning sickness had been bad with the other pregnancies, but this time it was much worse. They were all sure that that had to do with the stress level, but she hoped for both Kim and Tommy�s sakes that it would get better.
�Does anything sound good to you?� Trini asked as Kim shook her head no. Everything made her feel sick right now, from the smell of Trini�s perfume to the thought of food. �Sleep, sweetie. Tommy just wanted someone up here in case you get any worse.�
�Worse?� Kim asked as Trini barely smiled, Kim was definitely not very happy right now. �How could I get worse?�
�Ask him when he comes back,� Trini said as Kim stood and stumbled towards the bathroom. This was going to be a very long day.
�Let us begin,� Andros said as they all settled back in to their seats. Actually, Tommy sat on the floor playing with Chris and the rangers that had been second and third in command took the seats that had belonged to Kim and Tommy. They knew that Tommy would talk with them again when Chris was satisfied with everything else.
�Whatever you say,� Fred said as he turned on his camera and Andros then began his testimonial.
�The system is simple enough, the coins have been given a feeble link to the source of power. The rest of the powers must be gathered. We have to return to the first Command Center, there we will find the connection to the morphing grid and we will be able to pull out the powers,� Andros said as Kim looked at him and shook her head.
�Some of us are not at full strength, I�m not sure if we can even manage it,� Kim said as Andros looked over at her. �Well, just me, I�m not sure if I have it in me.�
�You, not have it in you? Who took Kimberly Oliver and replaced her with this look alike?� Andros asked as Tommy stepped between the two of them, sure this would explode into a full force conflict. Kim did not take that sort of comment well, she never had.
�I don�t know, somewhere along the way I decided my life is kinda important,� Kim said as Andros pushed Tommy aside and Kim walked up to Andros, in anger. �I have a child Andros! I can�t lose my life because I�m too weak to handle the power surge. Did you ever, even once, think about that?�
�We could spread out the process,� TJ intervened as Andros and Kim looked like they were going to kill each other at any moment. The others were surprised that Tommy allowed Andros to say something like that, but Tommy was more than willing to let Kim get out some of her frustrations on someone else for once.
�There is no spreading this out, TJ, the pull has to all be at one time or it will become unstable and we will risk the powers being out of commission and leaving the earth completely unprotected,� Andros said as Kim looked between them.
�What about the others?� Jason asked, suddenly remembering the power rangers they were training.
�Their powers have been taken into consideration as long as they do not over exert themselves, we�ll have no problem,� Andros said as Tommy let out a laugh.
�Overexertion is a rangers middle name, you know that, we�ve all pushed ourselves too much in the past,� Tommy said as he looked down at Kim. She was the main person that he was talking about.
�Well, if they go to that point, they�ll lose their powers. There is nothing more in their reserves,� Anthony said as they all nodded. �You don�t see an all encompassing battle any time soon, do you?�
�I really don�t know, Halindon is attempting to mount an attack to bring them down,� Tommy said as Kim looked over at him.
�But he does that every week,� Kim said as Tommy nodded his head in agreement. This was nothing new to them, they had had this going on for years.
�If he ever fights them, they�ll max out. He�s too powerful,� Tommy said as Andros nodded. He had figured it out much earlier.
�But you are powerful enough,� Rocky pointed out, but instead of Kim jumping in, Andros did.
�We do not wish to reveal ourselves we will leave a little bit of power in the reserves, hopefully they won�t dig in too much,� Andros said as they all nodded. �Have I pleased everyone enough?�
�Nope,� Trini said as Andros glared over at her. �When are we going to have enough down to recover from that sort of power surge?�
�We won�t be recovering, we�ll be kicking ass,� Kim said as Trini looked over at her.
�To hear that from you is like therapy,� TJ said as Tommy barely nodded his head in agreement. He was glad that his wife was finally coming back to normal. �So today or tomorrow?�
�Can we tomorrow? I�m tired and Chris has been at his mom�s all day and she told me she had something to do this evening,� Kim said as Tommy nodded and the others agreed as well. He knew better tan to disagree.
�Where are they?� Madeline asked as she walked into the command center and saw it was utterly empty. They could not believe that the rangers had vacated the residence.
�I think that they needed some time alone,� Maddox said as Madeline smiled and shook her head. �Why not take a seat? Everything needs to be looked over in case all hell breaks loose.�
�How often has that happened?� Madeline asked as Maddox looked over at her. He did not want to see that happen, but it had happened in the past, to almost every team.
�Don�t jinx us Maddie,� Maddox said as the siren sounded and he silently cursed this, but didn�t say anything. He knew that he�d be up shit creek if he said anything to her.
�Maddox, we might be in trouble,� Madeline said as she focused on the siren and tried to discern what exactly was going on. All she could see was the little minions running around, but there was no monster.
�Come on, Madeline, we can take them along,� Maddox said as she just shook her head. She had a bad feeling about all of this.
�Wait, something�s not right,� Madeline said as she focused on the screen again, what was different with them than all of the others that she had seen?
�You�re right, they�re attacking and we are not there,� Maddox said as he grabbed her hand and teleported away.
�This isn�t Angel Grove,� Madeline said as she shook her head as the others teleported in as well.
�Well aren�t you the smart one,� Halindon said as Madeline whipped around and stared at him in shock. �Welcome to my world, you are stuck here rangers with your world now left unprotected.�
�You asshole!� Madeline yelled trying to run towards him, but found herself being thrown back from an invisible force field.
�Trapped little rangers,� Halindon said as he walked away and Madeline looked at the others.
�Don�t say it, I know that I screwed up bringing us here,� Maddox said as Sam looked over at him.
�No blame game today, we have to work on getting out of here,� Madeline said as they all looked over at her. �Morphing won�t work, but there is a chance that something else will, we just have to think.�
�Newsflash, if you didn�t realize it, we�re not the ones with any experience here,� Sam said as Madeline turned to face him.
�One day they didn�t have any experience either. Now we don�t have a fucking choice but to do it,� Madeline said standing toe to toe with Sam. He now had the feeling that she should have been in the Marines instead of the Air Force.
�Yes ma�am,� Sam said as she took a step away and then let out a long breath.
�Let�s see what we can throw at this thing,� Madeline said as they all nodded their heads. She had just snatched the reigns away from Sam and he was now just another ranger.
�Tri...� Kim said as she propped herself up against the wall and Trini looked back over from the television.
�Hm?� Trini asked as she looked over at her.
�Can you please go get Tommy?� Kim asked as Trini looked over at her and saw how pale she was at the moment.
�What�s wrong?� Trini asked as Kim just shook her head.
�I need my husband. It�s no offense to you, but I need him right now,� Kim said as Trini nodded. She had had her own moments when she needed only Jason and this was one of those days for Kimberly. She needed Tommy and no one else.
�I�ll go get him Kim, it�ll be all right,� Trini said as Kim barely nodded and then slumped back down into bed. She was glad to know that she would have Tommy back with her and that was what she really needed.
