"Where I come from, she was. And there's no getting around that." Luckily, even if they were misfits, the group she was with now were just good kids who got into trouble. She couldn't see any of them getting ideas in their heads to destroy Earth.
It was at least becoming clear to Kim what the problem was here but she kept her mouth shut. It reminded her though that none of her team seemed to have this issue. Though she was wondering how Billy was doing since Rita.
"Seriously, relax. You're psyching yourself out at this point which will only make it harder. Like when I was in cheerleading, the first time we did a pyramid? Terrifying but I didn't think about it and trusted my team, never got hurt and realized 'whoa, this is pretty cool' and the fear went away."
She nodded a bit. "I know we need to do this. I'll be okay." Terrified, but she won't let it stop her. "That was why I was up there in the first place. To work on it so it wouldn't be a problem for the others."
"If you're sure." She wasn't going to argue. Never mind that she was sometimes the first person to argue, this was more important right now.
"Maybe... think about a favorite song or something while we're there." She wasn't sure what other advice she could give. In her formal social circle, she didn't know any of them to be afraid of much. The same applied now, with the rangers. Real friends.
Again, there was a bit of hesitation. This teleporting this was weird but since she didn't know where she was, she couldn't exactly walk out and make her way back on foot. And trying would probably lead to mild criticism about how anyone kept this a secret when there was just a building in the desert.
Hey, if Trini has to do heights, you can handle a little bit of teleportation and suspend a little disbelief. She waited, arm out. Then changed position, and offered her hand instead. This... wasn't some stranger. It was some alternate version of one of her two best friends. She even offered a smile that was lost inside the helmet. But she knew Kim would sense it anyway, perhaps this one would too.
She glanced down at the hand then at Trini's face, pausing and then nodding and taking her hand, letting her link to the Morphin Grid materialize her armor around herself. There. Now it would just be two rangers in the quarry, nothing too strange.
Okay... odd way to morph, but she closed her hand over the other Ranger's hand and nodded to Alpha who teleported them back to where they had started. She took a deep breath.
It seemed normal to Kim. Or, at least as normal as having an alien coin and access to super strength and armor could be. This was a new normal, she was getting used to it. That was probably the better explanation. Not normal but she'd adjusted.
"Just up this way." She started to lead the way, not sure if she had the ability to climb the way Kim's team seems to be able to do, so she took her along the path through the mine to the chasm. Then came to a stop.
"Down here. Don't sweat it, there's water at the bottom, nothing is sticking out. Just a swim and we can walk through the cavern to the ship." She'd try to warn about the weirdness that was the cave being under the water but that was better seen than anything else.
She took a breath and went with her. She didn't let go of the other Ranger's hand unless she was asked to, as she went with her. She really wished Billy was there. But she'd do her best.
She looked down over the edge, and her hand tightened for just a moment as she swallowed hard, pale under her helmet. Didn't matter that was water down below. Water from enough of a height as as hard as concrete, and she wasn't sure how much her armor would protect her.
She almost, almost said 'dead serious but caught herself quickly enough. That would probably have made matters so much worse. Instead, the visor of her helmet retracts, showing her face and a faint smile.
"Sorry to say, I am. I'll go first and yell up to you. I can even unmorph, if it will make you feel better. This is how we always got back and forth, and we did it unmorphed at first, until we learned how to access the Morphin Grid." And even then, they tried not to morph before coming up here. None of them wanted the ship found. Sure, Alpha could probably fend off Angel Grove police but they'd probably call in the army or something.
Okay, the helmet missing a peice was just odd. She made herself let go of the other girl's hand. "No, you don't have to..." she said weakly.
If they were from other universes, were the rules different? Would what was fine for them kill her? Or was it the place that decided the change in physics. Billy would either know... or spend the next ten hours trying to figure it out...
The rules could be different. Their armor was different, and their Zordon's and Alpha's. The thought did cross Kim's mind, so she nodded and let her hand be released.
"I've got an idea then. Hold onto me. I'll break our landing in the water. My armor is tough, and so am I. We trained against putties without armor when we started." Her visor flicks back down, a faint grin visible before her face is covered again, and she holds her arms out.
"We sometimes fight them without armor too," she said, but... she appreciated and understood the gesture. She walked over and put her arms around the other Ranger, letting her pick her up if that was her plan, hugging her awkwardly if it wasn't.
Awkward or not, Kim wrapped one arm around her, making sure she was ready and then threw herself, and Trini, backwards into the chasm and down into the water, the pink ranger making sure she was the one that hit, and then letting the other go.
She clung, eyes wide under her helmet, as she tried very hard not to scream. Or pass out. She managed the first. The second was a near thing. She gasped when she was left to tread water on her own. Not trusting her voice she nodded. It was shaky, but it was a nod.
"Alright, now we go down. There's a spot if you just go straight down, where you'll come out of the water. Brace yourself, gravity is weird there. We're gonna fall out of the water into a cave. Not a big fall, like skipping a couple steps."
That was a bit of an understatement. It was more than that but better than jumping down here had been. Kim gave her a moment and then dove under water and swam down to the cave. Hopefully the other Zordon had already given hers and Alpha a heads up they were coming. She didn't want to see the other girl get thrown around by a little robot after jumping into a chasm with her.
Going to fall... out of the bottom of the water.... Great.
She took a breath, more to steady herself than from concern that she'd drown, then she dived under as well, following the other Ranger, wishing she could be doing this in her Zord.....
She made sure the other was following her through the water and then pushed herself out into the cave, being used to the fall after so many times that she manages to catch herself and move for Trini.
And then motioned for her to follow, the front of her helmet retracting as she took her to the ship.
"Zordon, Alpha?"
From further in the ship, in the command room, a couple voices can be heard.
"Master Kimberly, we received a communication-"
The command room was large, probably about the size of the command center, and Trini would get to see a robot with a small familiarity to her Alpha puttering away in there, while a face could be seen on the wall like an old pin-board toy.
Trini followed, still not as comfortable as she could be, but so long as there were no more drops, she was confidant that she could handle anything.
And she stayed confidant... until she saw.... ALPHA? ZORDON? She was so glad she was wearing the helmet, because she tried very hard to always be polite, but... They were not at all what she expected. She kept just behind the other Ranger, waiting to be addressed while she bit back every remark she knew better than to make, wishing Kim... her Kim... was there. Or Zack. Somehow, she had a feeling Zack would handle this the best of all of them.
omg me and my friend spent an hours after the movie giggling about it
At least now she could see why Kim had reacted as she did to Trini's Alpha and Zordon, this was what she'd gotten accustomed to.
"Yeah, I know. Been there, done that. Zordon, Alpha, this is Trini."
The face in the wall moved to the side of the room they were on, getting a better look at Trini, even if she remained morphed. For a moment, he might have seemed critical.
"Welcome, Trini. Your realities, Zordon contacted us. Alpha has already begun searching for what might have cause this merge in realities."
My dad and I were grumbling about it for hours after, lol
She nodded and took off her helmet, shaking her hair free. "I'm sure both Billys would be happy to help." Two of Billy, that was terrifying and wonderful. What couldn't they build, together?
a part of me loved it because it was so ridiculous XD
"Master Billy was the one to locate the Zeo crystal." Alpha pointed out. He'd spent so much time in the command room studying what information had been left.
Kim watched the three of them quietly, thinking for a moment how Billy had gotten himself into detention, and a small wave of concern washed over her.
"Your Billy doesn't have a tendency to blow things up, does he?" Maybe her Billy didn't, really. An accident or two involving dynamite, and she still wondered by it had been in his lunch box, but that wasn't a lot?
"As in accidentaly in his lab? Rarely. He believes strongly in taking proper safety precautions." She stopped. The question had been asked for a reason. "Your version of Billy blows things up?"
"Only a couple times. That I know of. Three if you count the mine? He blew up his lunchbox and his locker. In school. Both times." As long as they didn't provide him dynamite, they should be fine.
"He really is smart though, he told us he remembers everything so a lot of time won't be wasted with repeat research."
