Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie by Heather Ray (free books to read TXT) 📕

immediately leapt into action, with the Blue Ranger hurriedly approaching the lever Jason and Kim were tied to, and battling every villain in his way. The Green Ranger made sure Lerigot was out of harm's way, and placed him beside his wife. But the Blue Ranger couldn't stop Rygog from lowering the two former rangers into the fire.

"Kim!" Tommy cried, watching in panic while at the same time fending off Piranatrons.

"Into the fire!" yelled Rygog, as Kim and Jason plunged further down.

"You guys!" Kim cried in terror, as the flames grew closer. She threw another desperate glance at Tommy, and as the fire closed in on her, her eyes narrowed. He let me down! Again!

Divatox laughed hysterically. "Too late, rangers! Even now they are becoming spawns of evil!"

Hot fire spewed forth from the pit, as the Piranatrons held the Turbo Rangers back.

"Kim!" Tommy cried frantically, "NOOO!!"

Two narrow columns of flames rose, and took the form of a man and a woman, with their backs turned to the rangers. The Piranatrons backed away, leaving the rangers to approach.

"Kimberly," Tommy said, obviously relieved, "Jason."

"Whoa," said Elgar, "That's a nice trick."

Kimberly turned around, and opened her eyes. Her eyes were ruby red. She grinned at the rangers, as she held up her manacled hands. She broke the chains without any effort. The Turbo Rangers gasped as Jason turned, and did the same.

"Children," Divatox roared, "Destroy them!"

Kimberly leapt off the edge of the pit, and landed on the dirt floor with the grace of a cat. Tommy ran up to her, and grabbed her shoulders.

"Kim!" he cried desperately. Kimberly snarled and tossed him aside.

Jason flipped off the pit, and approached the rangers, a bitter scowl on his face. The Blue Ranger approached him, but Jason grabbed his hand and crushed it. He then punched him in the stomach.

"Leave him alone!" Katherine ordered. Jason growled as he punched her in the helmet fiercely, and kicked her in the chest. Kimberly grinned as she approached Katherine. Adam got in her way.

"Kim!" he called, "Snap out of it!" Kim kicked him out of her way, and proceeded to her target. The Yellow Ranger grabbed Kim by the shoulders, but Kim broke free from Tanya, and continued onward.

"Kim," Katherine gasped, backing away, "you've gotta fight the evil!"

"Evil is as evil does, sister,"

Kim said in a deep voice, her eyes glowing with hatred.

"Don't do this!" Katherine begged, reaching out. Kimberly grabbed her arm, intending on breaking it.

"NO!"

cried Tommy, after beating back a handful of Piranatrons, "Leave her alone!"

He grabbed Kim by the shoulders, turning her around. He quickly took off his helmet, and looked at her pleadingly. "Look at me, Kim. Look at me!"

Kimberly glared at him with more hatred than a human being can possibly hold inside. The evil corrupted her heart deeper than it was supposed to. She welcomed in the darkness, and a chill grin crossed her face.

"Its me...Tommy."

"Yes!" Katherine said, "We're your friends!"

"Friends?"

chuckled Kimberly, "I don't have any friends. Thanks to you two!"

Kimberly spun around, delivering a powerful roundhouse kick to Tommy's jaw. She then dodged Katherine's swing, and swept the Pink Ranger off her feet. She jammed her heel into Katherine's stomach, and turned back to Tommy, who had risen to his feet.

"Kim..." he said, backing away from her, "please. I... I don't want to hurt you--"

"Really?"

she growled, "You don't want to hurt me? As I take it you never did

want to hurt me! I'm sure it was all for my own good, Tommy, eh? You only wanted to make me happy? Is that why you lied to me?!"

"Lied to you?"

"Oh, I've been waiting for a LONG

time for this!"

she laughed, swinging at his face. He dodged, and grabbed her forearms, trying desperately to restrain her without hurting her.

"Kim," he said sternly, "you don't want to do this..."

"Yes I do!"

she cried, "You betrayed

me! You abandoned

me!! You're going to pay for that, Tommy! You will pay for what you did to me! With interest!"

With that, Kim kicked him in the groin. Tommy yelped, and fell back. She was about to kick him again, but Katherine tackled Kim to the ground from behind.

"Kim," Katherine ordered, "Stop this now!"

"Oh please,"

Kim snapped, "If you dare

say 'I don't want to hurt you'

, I will personally rip your heart out and serve it on a platter. Provided of course that you have a heart!"

Kim elbowed Katherine in the stomach, and Tommy once again tried to stop her. He was still in pain, but he pushed it aside. He was determined to save them both. But Jason had other plans.

"You're mine!"

Jason roared, lifting Tommy by the neck from behind, and tossing him like a rag doll. Tommy sprawled out on the ground, dangerously close to the pit of flames. Kimberly grinned, and glanced back at Kat. Kat was about to rush her, but Kimberly received her with a powerful kick. Kat fell to the ground, and didn't get up. Kimberly laughed and looked down on her.

"Oh, and sweetie,"

she chuckled, "Pink is out."

Katherine didn't respond.

Kimberly laughed deeply, and surveyed the battle scene. The Blue, Yellow, and Green Rangers were just barely holding their own against the seemingly endless number of Piranatrons, and Katherine was lying unconscious in the dirt. Where she belonged. Finally, Jason had Tommy dangling off the side of the pit of lava.

"Come on, Ranger!"

Jason yelled, strangling the helmetless Red Ranger.

"Into the fire,"

Kim said happily, rubbing her hands together, "Into the fire."

Lerigot was watching, and he weakly held up his Golden Key. Purifying energy coarsed through the air, directed at Kimberly. He was hoping he had enough energy to break the spell of evil cast upon this poor girl, and that she could help the Red Ranger before he is killed. But, to Lerigot's shock, Kimberly wasn't healed. She cocked her head towards the Liarians, and chuckled.

"Nice try, Ewok,"

she snarled, "but I like

being evil!"

Lerigot's eyes widened when he realized that the evil has fed off her hatred and anger towards the Power Rangers, especially the Pink and Red Rangers. She wouldn't save them for any reason. Still, Lerigot wasn't dismayed. He could still try to reach Jason.

"Now I'm

the one with the muscles and the power!"

Jason declared, pushing Tommy further off the edge. Tommy's eyes narrowed.

"Sure Jase," he gasped, "but you're not using your brain power!"

With that, Tommy flipped Jason over the edge. But, he managed to catch Jason's wrist before he fell in completely. Jason struggled against Tommy's grasp.

"Jason, don't fight me!" Tommy pleaded, "I'm trying to help you!"

Lerigot focused his Golden Key again, this time sending the purifying energy into Jason. The effect was different with Jason. He immediately calmed down, and looked around in confusion. He looked up at Tommy.

"What..what's happening?" he asked. He yelped when he saw the flames of destruction licking at his feet.

"Hold on, Jase," Tommy said, pulling with all his might, "I've got ya..."

Just then, Katherine regained consciousness. She sat up, and quickly surveyed the situation. Tanya, Adam, and Justin were handling the Piranatrons well enough, and Tommy was still pulling Jason out of the lava pit. She gasped when she saw Kimberly approaching them, her eyes glowing brightly, and a scowl on her face.

Oh, no you don't!

Kim thought angrily, approaching Tommy without making the slightest sound, You're not making it out of this one alive!

Kimberly growled, and Tommy turned his head in shock. But, the Pink Ranger stepped in the way, and kicked Kimberly solidly in the face. Tommy stared as Katherine quickly helped Tommy pulled Jason out of the pit.

"What...what did you do?!" Tommy demanded, once Jason was safe. He hurried to Kimberly's side. Kim wasn't moving, and blood trickled from her nose. He could also see a purple bruise forming on her right cheek.

"I saved your life and Jason's," Katherine said sternly, "I don't know if you noticed or not, but she's trying to kill us!"

Tommy sighed, and turned to Jason. "You okay, Bro?"

"I...I think so," he said, "Man, Tommy, I'm so sorry --"

"Forget it," Tommy said with a smile, "I'm just glad to have you back, Bro."

Then, the fire flared, throwing them all back. The Rangers regrouped, and Katherine held out Tommy's helmet.

"I think you're gonna need this," she said.

"Thanks," he said, holding his helmet under his arm. He kneeled beside Kim, and then glanced up at Jason, pain evident in his eyes.

"I'll get her out of here," Jason offered, "and I'll get the Liarians."

Tommy smiled his gratitude, as Jason took Kimberly out of harm's way. Tommy strapped his helmet back on, and all five Turbo Rangers stood in line, ready for action.

"Let's finish up, guys!" he declared, as the five rangers immediately began plowing through the remaining Piranatrons. Divatox frowned as she saw her forces thinning, and hurried back to the pool of lava.

"Rise, Maligore," she said, "and meet your bride. Together we will exact revenge on Lerigot, as well as the ones who imprisoned you. Come to me. Please?"

"Look!" said Rygog, watching as Jason led the Liarans out of the cave, while still carrying Kimberly, "I think the humans are turning pure again!"

"Now we don't have a sacrifice!" Elgar whined.

"Yes we do," said Divatox, tossing her pet eel onto Elgar. Both Elgar and the eel plummetted into the pit of flames, bringing Maligore to life.

"Remind me to get a new pet," Divatox said to Rygog, as they stepped back from the pit.

Smoke and flames rose from the pit, putting an end to the fighting.

"I don't think I like this one bit," commented Tommy. The Muiranthians fell to their knees and bowed, and Divatox watched excitedly.

"Yes, Maligore!" she cried, "Unite our powers as one!"

Her smile fell when she saw a hideous claw reach out from inside the pit. Everyone gasped as the huge creature climbed out, and roared ferociously.

"Get ready to take this freak," Tommy said to his team.

"She wants to marry him

?!" Katherine asked.

"Are you sure about this?" Rygog asked Divatox. She shrugged.

"I think its time to break out the hardware," Justin suggested.

"Good call Justin," said Tommy, "Let's do it!"

The five rangers silently summoned their weapons, and opened fire on Maligore, who was slowly approaching them. But their weapons had little affect.

"What's the plan, Tommy?" asked Adam, "It barely fazed him!"

"We gotta lure Brimstone Breath outside so we can call on our zords," Tommy decided, as the rangers backed away from the approaching monster.

"All right!" Justin said excitedly, "I was hoping you'd say that!"

"Let's do it!" cried Tommy, charging at the monster. The other rangers followed suit. But with each strike, Maligore retaliated with a debilitating fiery swing.

"I think I hear my mother calling," Rygog said, walking away. Divatox grabbed him by the arm.

"Everyone," said Tommy, "Out the way we came!"

The Power Rangers led the monster outside, where there was room to call on their zords.
