KIMBERLY

Page Forty-Two

Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy are walking through the park.  Kimberly has the storybook and tells Tommy how happy she is that she found it.   (Rita Repulsa had been watching them and came up with a diabolical plan.) Rita's spell hits the book and it goes flying, landing in a trash can.  Tommy asks Kimberly why she threw it away?  Kimberly tells him, she didn't.  It just flew out of my hands.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy run over to the trash can.  The book has a strange glow around it and Kimberly comments that it wasn't doing that this morning.  Kimberly is the first to notice something strange is happening.  Suddenly Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy are pulled into the book.  The book slams shut. Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy land hard on the ground.  They slowly get up and take a look around.  They have no idea where they are.  Kimberly notes that this place looks really familiar.  Rocky is surprised, it does?  Some birds fly by and Kimberly realizes they are inside her book.  Tommy suggests they call for help. Tommy tries to contact Zordon, but gets no response.  Kimberly comments, we are totally cut off. Rocky suggests they morph.  Tommy doesn't think it will do any good.  They are still stuck here.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy hear a strange voice.  Suddenly a strange creature appears, dressed in a Santa suit and with a wagon full of toys.  Kimberly recognizes Grumble the Magic Elf right away.  She introduces herself, Rocky, and Tommy.  Grumble is very grouchy.  Kimberly tells her friends that an evil magician put a spell on Grumble and turned him into a grouch.  Grumble has to deliver all the toys to the orphanage if he ever wants to be nice again.  Grumble asks if she's a gossip or something?  Kimberly replies, I've read this story a hundred times.  Grumble asks her if she wants a medal?  Grumble tells Kimberly to get out of his way.  He leaves with the wagon of toys.  Tommy thinks if they follow him, maybe they can find their way out of here.  Rocky thinks it's worth a try.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy follow Grumble. Grumble complains as he walks with his wagon of toys.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy race to catch up with Grumble.  Tommy tells him they need his help to get to the end of the book.  Grumble asks them if he looks like a tour guide?  He also tells them to find the end of the book themselves.  Grumble starts to walk away again, but Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy stop him.  Zedd's  Putties arrive at the same point of  the book the teens are at.  They are unseen by Kimberly, Rocky, Grumble, and Tommy.  One of Zedd's  Putties goes up to the wagon as Grumble refuses to help the teens.  Tommy continues to try, telling Grumble, please we need your help.  Unseen  Zedd's Putty works on the wagon and then goes into his hiding place. Tommy offers to help Grumble.  Grumble scoffs at this remark.  Lord Zedd's jolt makes the Putties appear in front of the wagon.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy immediately get into a fight stance when they see them.  Kimberly suggests they help themselves first. But the Putties do not go after the teens.  Instead they stay around the wagon of toys.  Rocky wonders why they are not attacking.  Grumble gets upset with Zedd's  Putties and holds onto the wagon.  Tommy realizes Zedd's Putties are interested in the toys.  Kimberly concludes that if they take them, the story will never end, and we will never get out of here.  Rocky declares we got to get them back.  But it's too late as the wagon of toys and Zedd's Putties vanish.  Grumble is very upset and blames Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy for what happen.  Grumble brushes past them as he storms off.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy feel bad. Kimberly blames herself for what has happened to them.  Tommy tells Kimberly it's not her fault.  There is only two people to blame for this.  Rocky adds Rita and Zedd.  Kimberly asks how are they going to get out of here?  Tommy concludes the only one that can help us is that elf.  We have to find him.  Kimberly and Rocky agree.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy start searching for Grumble.  Moments later, Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy are freezing as snow falls on them.  Tommy thinks they are lost.  Rocky points out they are not actually dressed for this season.  Kimberly tells them they are not lost.  She knows where they are.  Suddenly the ground shakes and they fall to the ground.  Kimberly tells Rocky and Tommy, there is a snow monster in this part of the book.  He's very ugly and doesn't like uninvited guests.  Sure enough the Snow Monster arrives and he is very angry.  Snow Monster yells at them for not asking permission to make snow angels in his valley.  Now I'm going to have to keep you on ice.  Snow Monster asks the teens what flavor popsicle do they want to be?  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy get up.  Kimberly tells the guys, we need to do something.  Tommy agrees.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy pull out their morphers and try to activate them, but nothing happens.  Kimberly asks, what's going on?  Rocky concludes that it must be the cold.  Our morphers are frozen.  Kimberly asks, what are we going to do?  Snow Monster gloats, yes, what are you going to do?  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy take cover from the Snow Monster. Tommy tells Kimberly and Rocky there's got to be a way to get our morphers to work.  Rocky agrees, but how?  Tommy doesn't know.  But if we don't figure out something soon, this story is going to have a real unhappy ending.  The Snow Monster holds a boulder.  He asks them, what's the matter?  Got cold feet?  Rocky tells Kimberly and Tommy, we got to get out of this.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy face down the Snow Monster.  Snow Monster charges towards them.  The teens jump out of the way and Snow Monster lands in the snow, but he gets back up.  The snow gets worse and the teens can't see anything.  Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy soon realize they are in the midst of an avalanche.

The Snow Monster warns Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky that this will teach you to trespass in my valley. Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky have found a small cave to hide in.  They are okay, but wondering how they are going to get out of here.  Tommy tells his friends, they have to think of something.  But no ideas come to them. After awhile, Kimberly asks Tommy if they are going to run out of air in here?  Tommy hopes not.  Tommy suggests they check their morphers.  Rocky notes they are still frozen.  The cave begins to shake and suddenly Grumble's face appears upside down.  He asks them if they are having fun?  Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky are very happy to see Grumble.  Kimberly asks him how he got past the Snow Monster?  Grumble tells them he got caught in his own avalanche.  Are you coming or what?  Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky quickly scramble out of the cave.  Tommy thanks Grumble once they are outside the cave.  Grumble replies if he could have figure out how to get those toys, they would still be in the cave.  Tommy thinks they are going about this all wrong.  Kimberly asks, what do you mean?  Tommy replies, we're going forward in the story.  Maybe we should go back instead.  Grumble mocks the suggestion but Kimberly understands.  Kimberly explains, we should go back and find the magician that put the spell on you.  Because maybe he can lift the spell and if he can lift the spell, then that's the end of the story.  Rocky adds, it may not be the ending that was written...Grumble continues, but at least it's an ending.  Kimberly is concern about the orphans.  Tommy tells Grumble, if we can get out of here, we'll send the toys for the orphans back.  Grumble agrees, anything to get you guys out of my story.  Kimberly, Tommy, Rocky, and Grumble start heading towards the beginning of the book. Soon, Kimberly, Tommy, Rocky, and Grumble reached the crossroads in the storybook, but the sign is knocked down. Kimberly urges Grumble to remember which way to Mondo the Magnificent Magician.  Grumble uses the excuse of never having gone backwards to defend that he is unsure of which way to go.  Tommy encourages Grumble to try.  Grumble stares at the two paths and debates which one to take.  Grumble finally decides on a path and the teens follow him. Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky arrive at Mondo's place.  Grumble gets nervous and wants to leave.  Kimberly runs over to Grumble and tries to pull him over to the door.  Kimberly reminds him, he can't leave.  How else will we get your spell broken.  But Grumble decides he doesn't mind being under a spell. Rocky pulls and Kimberly pushes Grumble over to the door.  Grumble protests the entire time.  Tommy can't wait for the spell to be broken.  He has had enough of Grumble's attitude.  Tommy knocks on the door. Despite Tommy's knocking, there is no answer from Mondo.  Tommy thinks it's weird that no one is answering.  Grumble is actually relieved that no one is answering.  Suddenly there is lightening and the ground starts to shake.  Kimberly states, I really liked this story better when I wasn't in it.  Eventually, the shaking stops. They all hear Mondo's voice, which asks who dares knock on my door and disturb my beauty sleep?  Kimberly, Tommy, Rocky, and Grumble gather around the door.  Mondo asks what they wanted?  Tommy tells him, we came to ask you to reverse the spell on Grumble the Elf.  Mondo replies, never!  Kimberly can't believe it, why not?  Mondo replies, because it's not in the story, that's why.  Tommy tries to persuade Mondo to let them come in and talk to him.  Mondo refuses and all goes silent.  Tommy apologizes to Grumble and Kimberly gives Grumble a sympathetic pat on the shoulder.  After awhile, Tommy spots the wagon full of toys and points it out to his friends.  (From the Command Center, Aisha had drawn into the book the toys.) Kimberly, Grumble, and Rocky are surprised but happy.  Tommy is eager to get the toys to the kids and pulls the wagon. Soon Grumble is pulling the wagon and complaining the entire time. Grumble suddenly pauses.  Rocky asks him why he is stopping?  Grumble warns them that Mondo the Magician is on this page too.  Quietly Kimberly, Tommy, Grumble, and Rocky continue on their way.  They are unaware that Mondo the Magician is hiding behind a tree. Eventually they reach the orphanage.  Grumble is delivering the presents to the orphans.  Grumble gives the last toy to a young girl.  The little girl thanks Grumble, which gives Grumble a warm feeling.  Grumble decides he likes the feeling.  Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky are happy for Grumble.  Grumble walks over to them and tells them to get out of his book. Kimberly,  Tommy, and Rocky are more than happy to leave and they are soon teleported out of the story.  Suddenly they are at the Command Center.  Aisha, Billy, and Adam are there as well.  Tommy asks, did you miss us?  Aisha confirms that they did.  Aisha also tells them that Rita and Zedd have taken Mondo out of the story book.  Rocky replies, we better get busy then.  The six teens morph and teleport out.  The Rangers arrive and summon their Thunderzords.  The Rangers enter their Thunderzords.  Thunder Megazord is formed.  White Ranger has White Tiger Zord go into warrior mode. Mondo the Magician twirls his sword as he runs towards the Megazords.  Thunder Megazord and Mondo the Magician battled.  Mondo the Magician formed a weird electric current in front of him.  It then struck the Thunder Megazord several times.  The Rangers lost control and Thunder Megazord fell to the ground.  Mondo the Magician demanded that Thunder Megazord get back up, so he could finish them off.  Tiger Zord Warrior Mode arrived.  Mondo the Magician prepared to battle Tiger Zord Warrior Mode.  Tiger Zord Warrior Mode knocked Mondo the Magician to the ground.  Thunder Megazord got back up and summoned it's sword.  Mondo the Magician also got back up.  Thunder Megazord destroyed Mondo the Magician with it's sword. After the battle, the teens returned to Angel Grove High School and are helping with cleaning up the book fair.  Adam asks Tommy, what was it like being in that book?  Tommy replies, I never really liked fairy tales, but hey, this one was pretty exciting.  Rocky adds, that's putting it mildly.  Kimberly hopes Rita and Zedd are out of the story telling business for good.  Tommy adds, their plot twist was a little too intense.  Everyone chuckles.  Miss Appleby walks up with great news.  The book fair was a big hit.  The teens are very happy, that should help the library. Bulk and Skull come walking down the hall.  Miss Appleby thinks they have come back for more books.  Instead Bulk and Skull would like to donate "Monster Making Made Easy" and "How To Make A Thanksgiving Feast" back to the book fair.  Miss Appleby takes the books.  Bulk and Skull add that their monster making days are done.  With a sly grin on her face, Kimberly takes the Grumble the Magic Elf book and gives it to Skull.  Skull mocks the title and then opens the book.  Grumble tells them hello and Bulk and Skull freak out.  Skull tosses the book, which lands neatly into Billy's hands.  Bulk tells them they will pass and Skull adds, thanks anyways.  Bulk and Skull run down the hall.  Kimberly comments, I guess they weren't into reading.  Kimberly, Tommy, Billy, Adam, Rocky, and Aisha laugh.
