Dedication

How can I say this enough? Thank you to everyone that has kept up with all my books! You all are awesome! When I started adapting my fanfiction to these books, I was just doing it in order to introduce the Power Rangers to a new generation and to also help reluctant young readers to find a new love for reading. But I have found out that with each new book there is resounding success! Thank you all so much!

Author's Note

True love is something so rare many people never experience it. When I refer to true love, I don't simply mean an emotional connection, or even an exchange of vows. I mean a union of souls, a dedication to each other that is so complete, they might as well be a single person.

When a love like this is found, it must be celebrated. And that is the purpose of this tribute... to celebrate the romance of two young individuals who's love for one another grew into something so powerful, it changed their lives. I am referring to Tommy Oliver, and Kimberly Hart: the original Power Couple. Each story is written to a song, which I feel aptly describes what's happening through the various stages of their romance.

This fanfic is the final installment in the Love Is collection. A companion piece to "Un-Break My Heart"

, it reflects back to some scenes alluded to in that story, and what happened afterwards. As always, comments are welcome. "All At Once"

is one of many gems sung by Whitney Houston.

Prologue

Katherine Hillard appeared in a flash of bright pink light outside her home in Angel Grove, California. Usually, she would be more cautious about teleporting to a highly visible location even at night, but she had more pressing concerns, in her opinion. Also, she knew she lived in a very quiet neighborhood, and her parents wouldn't be home for hours still. For the briefest moment, as she fumbled through her bookbag for her house keys, it occurred to her that Zordon would be displeased about her using the teleporter for non-Ranger transport. But the thought quickly dispersed from her consciousness, and she blinked back bitter tears. Finally, after an exhasperating search, she pulled out the keys. With quaking hands, she unlocked the front door, and pushed it open with all her might. She stepped inside the haven of her family's residence, and slammed the door behind her. At that moment, all the strength left in her body gave out, and she fell to her knees, only a few feet from the door. She buried her tear-stained face in her palms, and sobbed bitterly. She didn't realize until this very moment how risky romance truly is. Its like a game of roulette. You can be winning fabulously for a while, but one unlucky spin of the wheel can take it all away. Love's a gamble, pure and simple.

Chapter One

All at once
I finally took a moment and I'm realizing that
You're not coming back
And it finally hit me
All at once

The past two weeks had been utter hell for Kat. She clearly recalled the day when her high-flying hopes for the future came crashing down in one minute's worth of silence. It was Friday night, and as usual, she was spending the evening with Tommy Oliver, the young man who stole her heart with his warm smile and tender mannerisms months earlier. They had shared a romantic evening of dinner at an enchanting French outdoor restaurant in uptown Angel Grove. The evening was going splendidly, and during dessert, after over an hour of relaxed conversation, Kat was feeling adventurous. Her gentle blue eyes locked with Tommy's soulful hazel ones for a long moment, and a smile crept to Kat's face. Tommy mirrored the expression, but it was only that -- a reflection. There wasn't any deeper emotion to it. But Kat didn't notice it at the time.

"This night has been fantastic," Kat commented, still gazing into Tommy's eyes, "Going out tonight was a terrific idea, Tommy."

Tommy shrugged modestly. Typical Tommy.

"I really enjoy spending time with you," Kat continued, reaching across the table. She touched her fingers to Tommy's hand, which was casually placed on the table. "Its the best way to relax, and forget about our troubles for a few hours. I --"

Kat suddenly stopped herself. She realized that she had Tommy's undivided attention, and he gave her a perplexed glance. She took a deep breath, fortifying her courage to admit to him for the first time her true feelings.

"I love you."

There, she said it. It felt like a tremendous weight had been lifted off her heart. Although she and Tommy had been casually dating for some time, she never declared her feelings. They had never reached that point in their relationship. Katherine hoped, and planned, to bring the relationship to the next level. But rather than cement their relationship, Tommy's reply weakened it.

His reply was no reply at all.

Chapter Two

All at once, I started counting teardrops
And at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

Time passed ridiculously slowly in the seconds after Kat's revelation. It was easily the longest, most painful minute in Katherine's young life. As each torturous second passed, Kat's anxiety tripled. She held her gaze on Tommy the whole time, watching him carefully. When she had declared her love, the two were eye-locked. Tommy's first reaction was surprise, as evident by his eyes widening significantly. When he realized Katherine was expecting an answer, his gaze quickly fell to his unfinished chocolate mousse cake before him. First his eyes fell, and then, his head bowed slightly. A sigh, barely noticeable, passed between his lips. But Kat noticed it. In silence, she withdrew her hand, which still lay on Tommy's, and brought it to her lap. She clasped her hands together tightly, releasing the building tension. After nearly a minute of awkward silence, tears began to blur Kat's vision. His lack of a response was all that was needed. She squeezed her eyes shut, forcing herself not to cry. Her breathing grew labored, and she reached for her purse, her eyes still clamped shut. She didn't want to open them-- she didn't want to see Tommy's face. She felt embarrassed, exposed, and worst of all-- betrayed. She offered him her most valuable possession-- her heart-- and rather than accept the gift gratefully, he brutally rejected it. In sixty taxing seconds, Kat's life turned completely around.

After taking a cleansing breath to calm herself, Kat opened her eyes. She saw Tommy gazing at her with a truly apologetic expression. He realized what he had done to her, without doing anything at all. What he couldn't express through words, he managed to relate with that single glance. It was all she needed.

"I understand," Kat said quietly, forcing her voice not to crack. She hastily rose to her feet, and left the restaurant, clutching her purse with all her strength. She wove her way through the restaurant as quickly as she could walk, without breaking into a run or arousing suspicion. She could feel Tommy's eyes on her back, but she also knew he wasn't moving. If anything, Tommy was an empathic person. He understood Kat's feelings, and knew the best thing for him to do right now is give her some space. Kat was silently grateful Tommy didn't follow her outside. She didn't want to let him see her cry-- to show him just how much he had hurt her. As she hailed a taxi cab outside, her strength and self control began to ebb, and tears began to spill over her eyes, streaking down her pale cheeks.

Chapter Three

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

Kat spent the weekend steering clear from Tommy. She needed to rethink her situation, and decide what she was going to do regarding him. Fortunately for her, Angel Grove remained monster-free over the weekend, so she wasn't forced into seeing Tommy prematurely. She avoided the Youth Center, and spent a great deal of time with her best friend Tanya Sloan, as well as with her mother. Both women gave Kat advice about what Tommy's silence could mean, and how she could approach their relationship. After a few days of thinking about it, she decided that Tommy was still confused, and that he probably felt vulnerable. This made perfect sense, considering Tommy was only in one lasting relationship before, and that one ended very badly. Tommy was heartbroken for a month when he received the letter from Kimberly, informing him that she'd fallen in love with someone else. Kimberly Anne Hart was the one person Tommy opened up to completely, and she left him so coldly and suddenly that it surely left a scar. A deeper scar than Kat had originally approximated.

"Tommy just needs time to deal with the thought of letting his guard down again," Kat reasoned to herself and her family, "Once he feels comfortable with expressing his emotions, then we can move towards forging a lasting relationship. He's still so fragile, and he doesn't want to risk getting hurt again. I won't push him. I'll give him his space, and I'll give him time to think about it. As much time as he needs."

Katherine's reasoning was logical and feasible. It would have made any psychologist proud. However, no matter how realistic it sounded, it was incorrect. And Kat found that out in the weeks that followed.

Chapter Four

All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once...

During the next two weeks, Kat and Tommy reverted to just being friends, just as they were before they had begun to date. Kat never openly told Tommy about her decision, and Tommy never actually confronted Kat about that night, but that didn't seem to matter. Both were given space, and time to think about their relationship. And finally, nearly two solid weeks after that horrible night, Kat was confident that Tommy was dealing with his feelings appropriately. At the Youth Center after school, Tommy was busily weight-lifting, and spending time with his best friend Jason Lee. Kat was glad to see Tommy enjoying himself. And she realized that if he could bond with Jason, then he may be one step closer to opening up to her. However, before Kat could approach Tommy, he unexpectedly ran from the Youth Center. For a moment, Kat thought about following him, or asking Jason what had happened, but she was in the middle of teaching a ballet class. Through the corner of her eye, Kat saw Billy and Rocky talk to Jason about what happened. Although she couldn't hear what was being said, she could tell by Jason's expression that it was important. Once ballet was over, Katherine decided to join the conversation. At this point, Jason had already left, so all that Kat could learn was that Tommy received a letter from Kimberly.

Kat had mixed emotions about this. This was because the letter could mean two very different things. Firstly, it could be an apology, asking Tommy if they could establish a platonic relationship. If this was the case, then Tommy would be more willing to seek a relationship with Kat, because there would finally be closure to his previous one. However, the second possibility was less promising. Kimberly may have wanted to resume their romance. And judging from Tommy's behavior the other evening, it was obvious what happened between him and Kim still plagued him. What he'd do in that situation was a mystery to Kat.

That mystery was answered not long after, when Kimberly and Tommy entered the Youth Center hand in hand.

Chapter Five

All at once
I looked around and found
That you were with another love
In someone else's arms
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

Kat felt a lump rise in her throat. It wasn't the fact that Kimberly and Tommy were holding hands that made her feel ill. Rather, it was the euphoric smiles on both their faces. Tommy was positively beaming with joy, and so was Kim. And those smiles were genuine -- they reached the eyes. The couple simply exuded happiness, as if they had never separated. As if Katherine had never existed.

Jason was standing behind them. Apparently, he had caught up with the couple before they arrived at the Youth Center. He grasped both Tommy and Kim's shoulders, and said "Its about time!" The couple laughed, and nodded in agreement.

Then, Billy, Rocky, and Adam, who were all sitting with Kat and Tanya, rose to their feet to greet their friend, and congratulate the happy couple. Everyone was smiling joyfully, as if finally all was right with the world. In a tangle of welcoming hugs, Kimberly was brought into the fold as if she never left. As if she had never broken Tommy's heart so callously. And what made Kat feel even more sick is that Tommy didn't seem to mind. So long as he was back with the woman he loved, he was happy.

It was obvious that he loved Kimberly. Although it was a torturous labor for him to say those three simple words to Katherine, he could say them earnestly to Kimberly without hesitation. Kat derived all this merely by the expressions of joy on their faces, the energy in their eyes, and by how tightly they held onto each other's hand. Even through all the welcomes and hugs, their grip never laxed. They weren't separating anytime soon.

Kat was startled by a hand gently squeezing her shoulder. She turned around, and her stinging eyes locked with the gaze of her best friend. Tanya Sloan, unlike the other Power Rangers, had never known Kimberly Hart. Therefore, the excitement of the original Pink Ranger's return didn't affect her like it did the others. Foremost on the Yellow Zeo Ranger's mind was her best friend. Tanya was the only one who really knew how deep Kat's love for Tommy went. Tanya's expression was sympathetic and supportive. She realized that, amongst this happy crowd of excited friends, Kat felt awkward, out of place, and worst of all-- abandoned. Left behind. Kimberly came back, and suddenly, Kat didn't exist anymore. It was as simple as that.


"Absolutely."

Chapter Six

All at once
The smile that used to greet me
Brightens someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories all at once

Kat met Tanya's sympathetic glance with her classic smile. It was a false smile, because she felt like dying inside. But Katherine Hillard was a special person. She never put her feelings above someone else's. And no matter how wretched she felt, she didn't want to ruin Kimberly's homecoming. Her smile didn't reach her crystal eyes, but it appeared genuine nonetheless. And she doubted anyone was paying enough attention to realize that it wasn't tears of joy that wet her expressive eyes.

"Welcome home, Kim!" Kat exclaimed in a joyful voice, wrapping her arms around the shorter girl's neck. After enthusiastically welcoming back her friend, she turned to Tommy, and squeezed his free hand. "Let's hope you two get it right this time," she quipped good-naturedly.

Kimberly blushed slightly, and giggled. "Trust me, I've learned my lesson! No mistakes this time around!"

Tommy smiled. "I guess I just won't let you out of my sight again, Kim."

Kimberly shook her head, and started to lead Tommy to the table, so she could be introduced to the stranger in yellow sitting by herself. Tommy, as usual, allowed Kimberly to guide his steps, but not before he threw a single glance at Kat. Katherine locked eyes with him for the briefest of moments, and once again, everything was transmitted.

He was sorry. He was sorry for not being honest with her, for letting her believe they actually had a future together. He was sorry he didn't realize sooner that his love for Kimberly wouldn't fade.

His glance was apologetic, but it was also inquisitive. He wanted to know how Kat felt about this. He knew Kat loved him-- since she said so only two weeks prior-- but he didn't know how deeply in love the young Australian woman was. Her answer was misleading once again. She flashed him a warm, although false, smile. The smile seemed to assure the Red Ranger that everything was fine. Kat seemed to be genuinely happy that Tommy had finally found the love he was lacking. The love Kat herself just couldn't seem to provide. No matter how much she had wanted to.

The group settled down for a round of smoothies, compliments of Ernie, in celebration of Kimberly's homecoming, and her restored relationship with Tommy. Katherine excused herself, on the basis that her mother had asked her to start cooking dinner for the family. After another happy wave of goodbyes and good-wishes, Katherine leisurely left the Youth Center. She strolled down the sidewalk, holding her head high in case someone was watching from behind. After only about a block, however, Katherine suddenly felt deprived of strength. As if she depleted all her willpower by holding back her emotions long enough to get safely out of the Youth Center. Her entire body began to tremble, and the tears began to flow unabedded. Finally, she gave up, and discreetly slipped between two buildings. After making sure there were no witnesses, she vanished in a streak of rose light, only to reappear at the doorstep of her home milliseconds later.

Epilogue

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
So I must face it all alone

She continued to cry for half an hour. She remained in that position -- on her knees just by the front door -- for that entire time span, before finally mustering the strength to drag herself up to her bedroom. Once there, she collapsed into a boneless heap upon her bed, and stared at the ceiling. Her tears were all shed, and she barely had the strength to breathe comfortably. All the crying caused her head to pound, and her face to itch. She once again pulled herself from the bed, intending on washing her face in the bathroom, and taking some pain relievers.

On her way out the door, she glanced at her dresser. Sitting atop the dark wood, in a golden frame propped beside her jewelry box, was a photograph. It was taken only days before the infamous dinner two weeks ago, and it displayed Kat and Tommy, side by side, in front of Rocky's house. Kat and Tommy had offered to help Rocky wash his family's minivan, and in this photograph, taken by one of Rocky's younger siblings, the couple was laughing, and shielding their faces from a spray of cold water. Rocky had decided to turn the hose on his friends, much to his own merriment. Later, Rocky gave both Kat and Tommy copies of the photo. It was the only photo of the couple together, without the other rangers present. Even though it wasn't obvious from the image that they were a couple, to Kat it seemed to display their relationship quite well -- casual.

Kat's nostalgic smile fell into a frown when she once again realized her situation. No matter how much she wished it otherwise, she and Tommy would never be that happy couple again. Maybe they never really were. Maybe Kat was just deluding herself, believing Tommy had feelings for her when in fact he didn't.

In frustration, Kat picked up the photograph, and slipped it into her dresser drawer. By accident, a torn photograph fell out of that drawer, and fluttered to the lush pink carpet like a leaf in the breeze. Kat shook her head as she gazed at the photograph. It was a half a picture, depicting Tommy walking in the park, a joyful smile on his face. Kat felt compelled to search through her dresser, until she found the crumpled other half. That half displayed Kimberly, just as happy and energetic as Tommy. As fresh tears formed in her red eyes, Kat held the two halves together. She gazed at the pair -- and more specifically the joy that was evident in their faces -- for a few moments. Then, finally, she lay the two halves on her dresser, and continued to the bathroom.

All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once...

Power Rangers

When the threat of Earth being taken over by Rita Repulsa arose after she was freed from her dumpster prison on the Moon, a wise old sage named Zordon, who had established a Command Center in Angel Grove, recruited five teenagers to assume the power of the Morphing Grid to defend the planet as Power Rangers - Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini. When the battle escalated, they would call on their individual assault vehicles named Zords and destroy the monsters who threatened peace in Angel Grove, all while trying to live normal lives as high school students.

The Rangers have gone through many roster, Zord, and power changes. Rita gave the Dragon Coin to a new student at Angel Grove High- Tommy, who fought against the Rangers as the evil Green Ranger, and later joined the team once the spell over him was broken. Tommy eventually lost his powers as the Green Ranger and gained new powers as the White Ranger.

To defeat Lord Zedd, who arrived to take over Rita's task, the Rangers needed to upgrade their Dinozords into Thunderzords, and later bring back Tommy as the White Ranger. Shortly after, Jason, Zack and Trini left for Switzerland to attend a peace conference, and left their powers to three allies of the Rangers- Rocky, Adam and Aisha, who became the new Red, Yellow, and Black Rangers.

When the team lost their powers after an attack by Rita's brother Rito, the Rangers took a trip to the Temple of Power, where Ninjor gave them new powers and Ninja Zords, which were later joined by the Shogun Zords.

Kimberly's departure to train for the Pan Global Games paved the way for Katherine, who took her place as the Pink Ranger. The Rangers' Power Coins were stolen by Goldar, and destroyed by Rita and Zedd, putting an end to the Power Rangers as we knew them, and setting forth the events that would transform them into Zeo Rangers.

He returned to Angel Grove years later to take on the powers of an injured alien, becoming the Gold Ranger. After the alien reclaimed his powers, Jason was powerless once again, but was able to return years later as the Red Ranger for a special mission in which 10 Red Rangers joined forces to stop the Machine Empire from destroying Earth with Serpentera.

With it, Tommy morphed into the Green Ranger and fought the Power Rangers, defeating them in a couple of battles. Tommy was given the Sword of Darkness to finish off the Rangers, but Jason defeated Green Ranger in combat and destroyed the Sword of Darkness, releasing the spell over Tommy, making him the newest Power Ranger. Green Ranger's power weapon is the Dragon Dagger, which doubles as a flute and plays music to summon the Dragonzord. As Green Ranger, Tommy gained enhanced strength, speed, and durability as well as limited energy projection. Green Ranger also wore a special shield around his chest which protected him from many attacks. Tommy is a bit forgetful and dim-witted at times, but he more than makes up for it with his nobility and courage. Tommy eventually lost his powers after Rita created a Green Candle that took his powers away as it burned down. After losing their Power Coins, the Rangers called on Tommy to once again become the Green Ranger by using the Dragon Coin and Zordon's energy. The powers were only temporary, and Tommy once again lost his powers as Green Ranger.

Tommy would later be given new powers by Zordon, making him the White Ranger. After losing these powers to Lord Zedd and Rita, he used the Zeo Crystal to become the Red Zeo Ranger. Another power upgrade later made him the Red Turbo Ranger, powers which he eventually passed on to a successor, TJ. Tommy returned years later as the Red Zeo Ranger to lead 9 other Red Rangers on a mission to prevent the Machine Empire from using Serpentera to destroy Earth.

With the Tiger Power Coin, Tommy rejoined the team and led them into one victory after another. White Ranger's power weapon is Saba, a talking Sabre that also controls the Tigerzord. As White Ranger, Tommy gained enhanced strength, speed, and durability as well as limited energy projection. He wore a special shield around his chest which protected him from many attacks. His powers were greater than those of the other Rangers, making him a nearly invincible opponent. When Tommy lost his powers after Rito Revolto's attack on Angel Grove, he gained new powers with the Falcon Power Coin given to him by Ninjor on the Rangers' journey to the Temple of Power.

The Falcon Power Coin was later destroyed by Zedd and Rita when Master Vile reversed time and reverted the Rangers to children. When the Rangers obtained Zeo Powers, Tommy became the Red Zeo Ranger.

Ranger Designation:

Red Power Ranger, Red Ninja Ranger
Weapons:

Power Sword, Blade Blaster
Gear:

Wrist Communicator, Power Morpher with Power COin, Metallic Armor, Red Shark Cycle

Zords:

Red Dragon Thunderzord, Ape Ninja Zord, Red Shogun Zord

Rocky is like the class clown of the Rangers. Good natured, spirited, and likes to have fun. He may be low on the IQ points, but Rocky's martial arts prowess and stubbornness make him an excellent fighter and asset to the team. He first met the Rangers on a trip to Angel Grove to compete in the Ninja Competition, and helped them save a baby in danger. Proving himself worthy by assisting the Rangers several times, Rocky was given the power of the Red Ranger by the departing Jason. Jason used the Sword of Light to transfer his powers to Rocky. Red Ranger's power weapon is the Power Sword, a powerful weapon with a razor sharp edge. His weapon combined with the others to form the Power Blaster. As Red Ranger, Rocky gained enhanced strength, speed, durability, and limited energy projection. When Rocky lost his powers after Rito Revolto's attack on Angel Grove, he gained new powers with the Ape Power Coin given to him by Ninjor on the Rangers' journey to the Temple of Power. The Ape Power Coin was later destroyed by Zedd and Rita when Master Vile reversed time and reverted the Rangers to children. Rocky later gained Zeo Powers along with the rest, and became the Blue Zeo Ranger. When Rocky injured his back training for a martial arts competition, he sent Justin to the Power Chamber to take his place in becoming the Blue Turbo Ranger.

When Rita Repulsa's brother, Rito Revolto, came to Earth, he succeeded in destroying the Thunderzords and the Rangers' powers. The six teens had to travel to the Temple of Power, where the legendary warrior Ninjor gave them all the power of Ninja. Using this power, they could all transform into the Ninja Rangers, then morph into Power Rangers and take command of the Ninja Zords. The Red Ninja Ranger has heightened strength, speed, and durability. He also has the powers of ground swimming, line of sight teleportation, phasing, multiplication, energy projection, hypnotic persuasion, and many other "ninja magic"

powers. Presumably, all Ninja Rangers have the same powers, although not each one has demonstrated all of them.

Master Vile once used the Orb of Doom to revert the Rangers into powerless children. To restore their ages, and obtain new powers, the children had to each retrieve a Zeo crystal.

Rocky earned his crystal in Mexico, by bravely saving a village from an unstable volcano.

He first met the Rangers while attempting to save a child in danger alongside of them. Originally from Stone Canyon, Adam moved to Angel Grove and transferred to Angel Grove High School. By fighting Zedd's forces with the Power Rangers, Adam proved himself to be a suitable replacement for Zack as the Black Ranger. Zack transferred his powers to Adam using the Sword of Light. Black Ranger's power weapon is the Power Axe, which doubles as a powerful cannon. His weapon combined with the others to form the Power Blaster. As Black Ranger, Adam gained enhanced strength, speed, durability, and limited energy projection. His powers were lost after Goldar and Rito destroyed the Power Coins after Master Vile had turned the Rangers into children. Since then, Adam became the Green Zeo Ranger, and later the Green Turbo Ranger, before giving his place to Carlos. He returned to help his successor as the Black Ranger, using his morpher without a Power Coin, risking his life.

Pink Power Ranger, Pink Ninja Ranger

Power Bow, Blade Blaster

Wrist Communicator, Power Morpher with Power Coin, Metallic Armor, Pink Shark Cycle

Kat is mature and sophisticated beyond her years. She recently came to Angel Grove from Australia, only to be captured by Rita and placed under a spell. Kat befriended the Rangers, and got close enough to steal the Falconzord and Kimberly's Power Coin. Her memories of being good broke the spell, and she became an ally, retrieving Kimberly's coin, which quickly became her own once Kimberly decided to leave for Florida and pass the coin to Kat, so that she would become the new Pink Ranger. Kat maintained a partial telepathic link with Rita, a lingering effect of the spell she was once under. Pink Ranger's power weapon is the Power Bow, which can shoot either normal or energized arrows. Her weapon combined with the others to form the Power Blaster. As Pink Ranger, Kat gained enhanced strength, speed, and durability as well as limited energy projection.

Kat lost her powers when Master Vile turned her and the other Rangers into children and destroyed the Power Coins. Using the Zeo Crystal, she became the Pink Zeo Ranger, and later on upgraded to Turbo Powers, which she eventually passed on to a successor, Cassie.

When Kimberly had to leave the Rangers to train for the Pan Global Games, she left with villain-turned-ally Katherine the power of the Pink Ninja, which she had received from Ninjor on a dangerous journey with her team-mates to the Temple of Power. The Pink Ninja Ranger has heightened strength, speed, and durability. She also has the powers of ground swimming, line of sight teleportation, phasing, multiplication, energy projection, hypnotic persuasion, and many other "ninja magic" powers.
