Part II
Placement: Week after Hurting and Helping Hands Part I.
When battling Zeltrax alone Kira�s powers mysteriously vanish, causing Zeltrax to seriously injure Kira. But right before he kills her someone shows up to stop him; someone who swore he wouldn�t help her again.
Kira walked to her towel on the deserted beach and was almost there when she noticed Tyranno-drones going around the cliff, without thinking she ran after them silently.
She was immediately caught in a swarm of them. She kicked one away, punched another, ducked, jabbed, elbowed, flipped... But she was eventually over come by them and was caught by each arm. In front of her Zeltrax appeared.
She glared at him and he inwardly smirked; it was easier than he thought.
Get rid of one Ranger while getting back a Trent at the same time, he grinned, he�d be killing two birds with one stone.
He pressed a button on the box in his hand and a small beep was heard.
�Hello Yellow.� He said coyly.
She gave him a look that practically screamed, �Was-that-supposed-to-be-funny/original?�
�Why hello Jell-O?� she remarked sarcastically with a confused expression that nearly made him laugh.
He mentally sneered at her.
�Oh... I see not brave now that your caught you have nothing cocky to say? Gee how refreshing.�
She grinned, �Yea, comin� from the Cyborg who has to have his loonies hold me while he rants at me so he won�t get hurt? Come on Zeltrax let�s do this; You and me.�
The smirk came again and he immediately wiped all traces of it from his voice before speaking, �Ha! Like you could take me!�
�Bring it on tin-can.�
�Fine then. Release her.�
They did as commanded and he drew his sword, one hand holding a box behind his back, a small oval opening was blinking a black light. He stood alert waiting for her to try and morph. He nearly laughed aloud in triumph when she did so.
Her body glowed yellow then it flowed into the box, her Morpher disappearing.
He laughed at her, �FOOL! You fell right into my trap! You humans are so gullible it�s pathetic!!�
She glared at him; she had a feeling that all she had to do was get the box back. Problem: Zeltrax had it.
They circled each other, then Zeltrax charged her and swung the sword at her neck, she barely ducked in time, sending a kick to his mid-section, and doing a half-somersault, half-backwards-tumble, away from him as he stumbled back and slammed his sword into the ground where she used to be.
She stood and was in stance in a second, slowly circling again.
Zeltrax sneered, �What�s wrong Yellow Ranger? Oops.. I mean FORMER Yellow Ranger.�
She glared at him and snapped sarcastically, �Your breath keeps driving me away... two words for ya Zeltrax... Breath... Mint.�
With a growl he sprung forward so fast that she was unprepared and she was flown back, hitting the cliff with a thump, the impact enough to make pieces of rock fall down to land softly in the sand.
She cried out and muttered, �Note to self... no more bad breath comments.�
He charged again and barely had time to jump to the side before his sword was cutting the side of her shoulder, it would have gotten her heart if she hadn�t moved.
She looked at him, her eyes slightly wide as she looked at her shoulder then back to him. She glared and swept her foot out catching him and making him fall.
She flipped herself up and onto him, not accounting to the fact that his sword was still in his hand.
He jerked his body to the side and punched her in the stomach at the same.
She grunted as she lands, trying to twist her body to accommodate but ended up with a small sharp stick in the her arm when she fell on it.
He grined and kicked her while she was down, she cried out and pulled the stick from her arm, her other one going up to hold her stomach as he continued to kick her stomach and back.
Getting tired of her he took out his sword sneering: �Say Goodnight Kira!�
Then his sword began the terrifying descent.
------
Trent was sitting on the bench, where he had talked to Kira, thinking over everything.
He sighed, and stood; about to leave, when he heard a pained scream and immediately ran to hel�no... He swore to himself that night that he wouldn�t help her again... he can�t help her. Yet he knew that if she were in trouble, he would always be there to help her.
He mentally berated himself as he sped up after another cry. He ended up on a cliff over-looking a battle between to figures, one on the ground, the other pulling out a sword.
He heard the latter remark slyly, �Say goodnight Kira!� Before the sword plunged down to meet her, not knowing how he re-acted so quickly he realized that he was morphed and kicking the sword and Zeltrax far away from Kira.
He quickly created energy arrows, an attack he�d been working on for a while now, with his dagger and sent them towards Zeltrax. Making a small explosion of which Zeltrax barely made it out of alive.
�Goodnight.�
De-morphing, Trent turned and walked to Kira.
He nearly winced when he saw how hurt she was.
He knelt next to her and was surprised when she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him for a while. He was so shocked he couldn�t do anything but put his arms around her... though he repeatedly told himself that he was just doing it so he wouldn�t fall over. Then she passed out from pain.
He sighed and picked her up, and brought her to the warehouse he used to use, placing her on a cushioned blanket that was thrown over a long box. Yet she wouldn�t let go of him, so he had to kneel down next to her face and slip her arms over his head. Placing them on her stomach he watched as she turned away from him and curled up slightly whimpering in her sleep.
He sighed softly, and stood, looking over her, he leaned against the wall, watching her for a few minutes before he got the first aid kit and set it next to her, preparing to leave her when she whimpered and called out in a pained whisper that made him shiver, �Trent... Don�t leave me. Please... Trent.�
He turned to see her still asleep but facing him, her face saddened and a single tear rolling over the bridge of her nose. He sighed, his face revealing a deep emotion, the expression would bring others to tears were they to look at it long. He walked back over to her and sat down, laying her head on his lap.
�You�ll probably be the death of me you know.�
He closed his eyes and nearly jumped outta his skin when she replied, making his eyes snap open.
� Yea, but hey, what are friends for?� She smiled tiredly and winced when he jolted.
�Ow,� she muttered dryly. �Guess they�re for killing each other.�
His eyes widened and he leaned over her, helping her sit up. �We�re not friends. Here let me.�
Her head lowered slightly, hiding her soft smile from his gaze as he knelt in front of her as he cleaned and bandaged her wounds. Afterwards, she told him what happened and he nodded, �You were careless... you failed to notice the box.� He sighed at the depressed look on her face.
�You�re lucky I found it when we were leaving.� He holds up the box and she smiles at him. �If anyone is going to destroy the power rangers... it�s going to be me. So get better fast, you�re going to need all the training you can get.�
She hugs him and he froze again before the light came back to his eyes and his evil personality toned down for a while. He took a second to regain his bearings before hugging her back. Then just as quickly he pushed her away, eyes narrowed as he stood up and looked down at her.
She looked hurt, but he ignored it and instead looked down at the box and hit a silver button on it. It released the energy and it flowed immediately towards him. He, not even giving it a second thought, pushed the power to Kira, and her Morpher re-appeared.
She looked down at her wrist and smiled, tears in her eyes.
�I-�
He placed his fingers against her lips, not really interested in her thanks. Which she looked back up at him a question in her eyes, he smirked and let his voice slid over her form. �You�re welcome.�
With that he moved his fingers and slowly leaned in to kiss her watching with a swelling sense of pride as her eyes started to close. They could feel each others breath coat their lips and right when their lips were about to touch, Kira�s Morpher went off and they both started, jumping apart.
�Kira! Kira are you okay?!? KIRA!� It was Dr.O, she sighed and looked up at him, with a disappointed expression and answered. �I�m Fine Dr.O... I was... getting help from a friend.�
Inwardly he winced at the word friend, because he knows that nothing has changed and that he�ll still have to fight her. That she�ll still try to get him to come back to her, no... his friends and join the team. But that was the problem. Nothing had changed.
�There you are! We�ve been trying to contact you for the past five minutes, we thought you were in trouble. Well there�s no time to talk about it now, a Big N Ugly is paying a visit to the local library. Conner and Ethan are there now but they need your help.�
�Okay Dr.O let me just-� She turned to see Trent was gone. She sighed and turned off the Morpher to say. �Goodbye.� Sighing her head lowered and once again, Dr.O�s voice came over the Morpher.
�Kira?�
�Never mind Dr.O... I�ll be there in a minute, on my way.� The echoes of her morphing could still be heard as Trent slid away.
~End~

What�d you think? Was it as horrible as I think it is?
Was my battle scene in TERRIBLE need of editing?
PS- This story was written about two years ago right after I saw that episode of Trent betraying Zeltrax and as such it isn�t the best of the stories. I tried to fine-tune it as much as possible but there are still some points I don�t like.
