Fighting Impossible Odds
By Stealth Photographer

I has having a fun day, I even saw T.K. Davis was there too, but he’s silly. Oh but then I saw this evil looking guy attack two strangers in the town. I couldn’t take it anymore, and I let loose the energy inside of me. The evil one was driven away and then I found out that I was the new Pink Ranger. I wonder when T.K. will ask me out.

Hikari Kamiya

From Kari’s POV

January 5, 2050

Kari’s Bedroom

I woke up remembering the events of yesterday. I was the new Pink Ranger. I also saw T.K. and he looked as cute as ever. I reached under my pillow and pulled out the picture I have of T.K. My heart beat faster after looking at it. Just then the phone rang. I sighed, and hopped down to answer it. "Hello Davis," I said.

Davis said, "How’d you know that it was me?"

I said, "You always call first thing in the morning."

My brother Tai entered my room and said, "Is that Davis?"

I said, "Yup."

Tai said, "Cool, I need to talk to him about the soccer game today."

I happily handed the phone over to Tai, and went to eat breakfast.

Kelly’s Diner

Meanwhile Lamont and Blade were at Kelly’s eating some chili.

Lamont said, "Wow, they were right. This is the best chili I ever ate."

Blade said, "You got that right."

Elizabeth Webber said, "Can I get you anything else?"

Lamont said, "Just a refill of Sprite, and some desert please." As a young man came in. "Because I think you have more important thing to think about."

Liz smiled and said, "Thanks."

Lamont said, "Go to Lucky."

Liz said, "How’d you know his name, your new in town?"

Lamont realized his blunder and then said, "Kari told me about you two."

Liz smiled and said, "Kari is such a sweet girl. I know of two boys that like her, Daisuke "Davis" Motomiya, and Takeru "T.K." Takaishi. But I think she only has eyes for T.K."

Lamont said, "I think your right."

Liz walked off, and Blade said, "So tell me what you know about these couples."

Lamont said, "Why, do you want to learn all the facts of the city that you can?"

Blade said, "That and I want to know which girls are not currently hooked up."

Lamont said, "Oh brother." Just then a young teenage girl entered Kelly’s. "Well that girl is single. Her name is Lucy Camden."

Blade said, "Oh, that’s the girl from 7th Heaven."

Lamont said, "That’s right."

Blade walked over to Lucy and said, "So how are you doing?"

Lucy said, "I’m fine." She walked around Blade and sat down next to Lamont and said, "Hey, I haven’t seen you around before."

Lamont said, "Ya, you could say I’m new to this town."

Blade hit his head on a nearby post and said, "Well maybe the next girl."

Evil Castle on Star Mountain

Meanwhile on Star Mountain, Daniel and Magical were chewing Dark Parallax out.

Magical said, "You let a little twelve year old girl beat you?"

Daniel said, "Now it wasn’t all his fault dear. The girl is Hikari Kamiya, the one with the Crest of Light inside her."

Dark Parallax said, "I’ll defeat them, I swear I will."

Daniel said, "I’m sure that you will, but you’ve got to fight smarter and stronger. Use a merger creature to defeat them. You will be allowed seven merger creatures, then you are on your own."

Dark Parallax said, "I only need one. I will not fail."

Magical said, "See that you don’t."

Kelly’s Diner

Lamont said, "Blade you’re going to find a girl."

Blade said, "What makes you think that?"

Lamont said, "Well since you descendant marries my descendant, I think it’s a possibility."

Blade said, "You’re right."

Lamont said, "Besides you still have a girl friend back in your time line."

Blade said, "Um, most people don’t know this, but we broke up a few days before Josh appeared to take me to your dimension."

Lamont said, "That’s why you're girl crazy."

Blade said, "Ya, I’m just thinking that I’ll never find another girl."

Lamont said, "Hey, I’ve never even had a girl friend."

Blade said, "Forget me, I’m going to help you."

Lamont said, "Oh, lucky me."

Lucky said, "Did you call me?"

"This is going to be another long day," Lamont said.

Helke Park

I swung on the swings talking to Ken.

Ken said, "If you like T.K. why don’t you just ask him out."

I said, "I would but I want him to admit that he likes me too. I think he does, but he’s too scared for some reason."

Ken said, "I’d hate to tell you this, but I think it’s a guy thing."

I said, "I thought you’d say that."

Just then T.K. walked up and said, "Hi."

I said, "Hey T.K."

T.K. coughed and said, "Um, well you know that school starts back soon."

I said, "Ya?"

T.K. said, "Well that means that the Valentines Dance will be coming up next month, and I was wondering if…"

I clasped my hands together and said, "Yes T.K."

T.K. said, "Do you want to go to the…"

T.K. never got to finish what he was saying because Dark Parallax appeared and wrapped his chain around T.K.’s neck.

I said, "You’d better let him go right now if you know what’s good for you."

Dark Parallax said, "I’m evil so I never do what is good for me."

Ken said, "What are we going to do Kari?"

I said, "I wish Gatomon was here. She could take this fool no problem."

Just then Stephanie Tanner and Shawn Hunter came running up when they saw the problem.

Stephanie said, "Hey I don’t know who you are, but let T.K. go this moment."

Dark Parallax just scoffed at Stephanie’s remark.

Shawn walked up to Dark Parallax and said, "I believe the lady asked you to do something." Then he punched Dark Parallax. "Ouch!" He yelled when he realized that Dark Parallax had on a very strong armor.

Dark Parallax to him self, "So we have Kari, Ken and T.K. from Digimon, Stephanie from Full House, and Shawn from Boy Meets World. Wow that Tom sure messed things up bad. To bad I didn’t have someone like him when I was fighting the Galaxy League." Then he said, "Magical would you do the honors?"

Just then before them appeared Magical-El-Play.

Shawn said, "Is that the Magical-El-Play?"

Stephanie said, "The one from Star Mountain?"

I said, "The one in the same."

Magical said, "Evil Wave!" Then a wave of Darkness hit T.K. and Dark Parallax let his grip on him go. That is when I looked into T.K.’s eyes. They weren’t the blue eyes I’d come to love, but Black and uncaring.

Magical vanished and T.K. attacked the four that were there.

Dark Parallax said, "Why don’t you use that light trick now?"

I thought to my self, "If I unleash my powers then T.K. could be hurt." I put my mouth near my watch and said, "Guys I need help!"

Kelly’s Diner

Blade was watching Lucky and Liz talk, and Lucy and Lamont talk. Then he got an idea. He said, "Maybe that’s my problem, I need to find a girl with a name that starts with a B."

"Oh, brother," Lamont said.

Lucy said, "Hey I could hook him up with my older sister Mary."

Liz said, "Or he could go out with my older sister Sarah."

Blade said, "Sure if they don’t mind going out with someone like me?"

Lucy said, "What do you mean?"

Blade never got to answer because Lamont’s watch beeped and I said, "Guys I need help!"

Lamont said, "Where are you?"

I said, "Helke Park."

Lamont said, "We’ll be right there. Come on Blade duty calls."

Blade said, "We’ll see you ladies later."

Lucky said, "Was that Kari?"

Lamont said, "Um ya."

Liz said, "Is that one of those new communication devices?"

Blade said, "Ya."

Lucy said, "If Kari’s in trouble then we’re all going. Nobody hurts my friend."

Lamont said, "Well come on lets go."

Helke Park

All five of them ran and saw the four of us fight what looked like T.K.

Lamont said, "Is that T.K?"

I said, "Ya, Magical turned him evil."

Blade said, "Can’t you just use your light to free him."

I said, "No, I haven’t learned to control it yet. My Power is too powerful. I might kill him."

Lamont said, "Leave it to us then."

They walked up to T.K and attempted to knock some sense into him, but then T.K.’s crest of hope appeared over his heart and his eyes turned back into blue, he said, "Please guys I can’t control my self. I don’t want to hurt you."

Blade said, "All that matters is getting you back. We’ll do what ever it takes."

T.K. shed a tear and said, "Thanks guys I…" His eyes turned back into Black and the crest of hope on his heart shot a beam at Lamont and Blade knocking them both back into the slide.

The beam also knocked the rest of us off our feet too. "A sword appeared in T.K.’s hand, and he walked over to me.

Dark Parallax said, "Do it finish her off."

T.K. raised the sword up and looked into my eyes. Then he quickly swung the sword and I closed my eyes. I waited for what seemed forever, but I could still feel myself breathing. I opened my eyes and saw the sword millimeters from my eyes. T.K was there, struggling with himself.

I said, "T.K?"

Dark Parallax said, "No, he’s still fighting us." He flew into the air, and grabbed T.K. Then he flew off.

I got up, and yelled, "No! T.K.! Come Back! T.K.!" My eyes started to tear up. "T.K!"

Lamont said, "We’re going to get him back, even if it is the last thing we ever do."

Blade said, "You’ve got that right."

Shawn said, "Yo, look at this black thing. It fell out of the slide when those two slammed into it.

Blade said, "The Black Time Device."

Shawn said, "Funny thing, as soon as I picked it up, it started to glow."

Lucy said, "That is weird."

Lamont said, "Oh that’s ours. It does that."

Liz said, "Oh."

Stephanie said, "I’ve really got to be getting home, it’s late."

Lamont said, "Shawn, could you come to my Penthouse with Blade, Kari and me."

"Sure," Shawn said.

Star Mountain

Dark Parallax said, "They might have found another Ranger, but we have the Pink Ranger’s weakness."

Daniel said, "Are you going to create a Merger Beast out of him?"

Dark Parallax said, "Maybe as a last resort, I have a plan."

~*~

The Power Chamber

Shawn said, "Wow! That is some job."

Blade said, "Are you up to it?"

Shawn said, "Dark Parallax will pay for what he did to T.K."

I said, "I was too scared. I had the power to stop him, but I didn’t."

Blade said, "No, it wasn’t your fault. Dark Parallax is a dirty trickster, he’s me but without a soul."

Encarta said, "The only way to free T.K. is to defeat Dark Parallax, and the only way to do that is to find and reactivate the five basic ranger colors."

Alpha 7 said, "Luckily for you the five basic colors are located with in the city."

Lamont said, "Wait, I though you said the powers couldn’t be activated until we found all the Time Devices.’

LeAnn said, "No, your powers can’t be activated until we find all the time devices, but the five basic colors can."

Lamont said, "What are the five basic colors?"

Blade said, "Black, Pink, Blue, Yellow and Red."

I said, "So when we find the other three basic colors, we can ripe Dark Parallax limb from limb."

Blade said, "Um, that’s right." Slowly backing off as he saw the fire in my eyes."

Lamont said, "Then we’ll have to go and find the other colors."

Encarta said, "The other colors could be hidden anywhere."

Shawn said, "We’re up to the task."

I said, "Then I’ll take his head, and…"

Blade said, "We’d better rescue T.K. before Kari tares this place up."
