A/N: I don't own anything but the idea. Several rangers and bad guys will make an appearance. They may not be in the way that you are used too. The names of each district is the name of some of the ranger's home towns. Hopefully you know a few of them. Anyway enough of that now onto the chapter.
XXXX
Kim opened her eyes when she heard a knock at the door. It must be time for dinner and even though she was hungry, she didn't want to leave her room. It just made everything real for her and she didn't want to be reminded that this was real. She didn't want to remember that she was probably going to die in a few weeks.
"Kimberly, dinner is served." Dimitria said from the other side of the door. Groaning, Kim got up and put her shoes back on. The only good thing was that she would be well fed tonight and every night leading up to the Games.
XXXX
This year we may actually have someone to win the Games for Angel Grove.
This phrase echoed in Tommy's mind the entire hour. His mom had told him this before he left for the Capitol but he knew that she didn't mean him. She had meant Kimberly was the one that could win it all and she probably could. Kimberly was the strongest person he knew that could think on her feet and take care of herself.
Getting up he got dressed and wondered if he should even try to win the Games or if he should help Kimberly win. She was the hope that Angel Grove needed not him. He didn't even know how to shoot a bow but she did. She knew how to do things that he had never even thought of before.
Finally ready he opened his door and saw Kim do the same. She was still dressed in her pink dress from the lottery and he had to admit that pink was her color. It seemed to brighten her eyes and make her skin glow. It went well with her one braid.
"Kimberly." He said as she looked over at him. She hadn't even seen him come out of his room.
"Thomas." She muttered before walking ahead of him. He sighed and followed her into the dining room. What had he expected, that she would suddenly notice him and say that she had loved him from the time that she was five? He had to remember that his feelings were way ahead of hers and to give her time. His only problem was that he was fighting against time at the moment. They only had a few short weeks before the Games started for him to show her how he felt.
"Well nice of you two to join us." Dimitria said as Tommy and Kim found a seat and sat down. They were seated across from each other as Zordon came into the room and sat down across from Dimitria.
"At least you two look a little rested. It will not be enough to win though." Zordon observed. "You will need to gain weight that's for sure." He commented as servers bought in dishes and dishes of food. Kim had never seen this much food in her life. How could four people eat this much food? There were three different kinds of meat along with potatoes, corn, beans, peas, and other stuff that she didn't even know what it was called. There was also bread and she happened to love bread.
"This will be the perfect meal for them to start their weight gain, then." Dimitria commented with a nervous laugh. She knew that Zordon was abrasive to the tributes but he just spoke plainly. They did need to gain weight but she would have never told them that on their first night here. They were probably still in shock over being chosen at the lottery or well at least shock for Tommy since he was chosen. Kimberly had volunteered so she probably wasn't in shock over this honor.
"I am perfectly fine." Kim stated while she began filling her plate with meats, vegetables, and the other things that she could not name. Looking up she saw that Tommy was piling his plate too. Kimberly, Tommy, and Zordon ate in silence as Dimitria ran over their schedule for tomorrow which included a fueling stop in Briarwood or District 9 as Dimitria referred to it. Apparently the Capitol liked to number the districts instead of call them by their names. It was another way to bring the people down. They were just a number to the Capitol and nothing more.
"Do you have any questions?" Dimitria asked looking up from her planner.
Tommy and Kim shook their heads no while Zordon just sat there. No one had really been listening to her anyway.
"Okay well then do you have any questions for us concerning the games?" She asked looking from Tommy to Kimberly. They surely had questions on what was expected of them. "Thomas?" She asked as he looked up over at her.
"Its Tommy." He whispered taking a bite of food.
"What?" She asked again leaning forward. "Speak up, son so that everyone can hear you."
"I like to be called Tommy." He said louder this time in a stronger voice Zordon noticed.
"Okay well Tommy, do you have any questions for me or Zordon?" She asked as Kim stopped eating. She was taking deep breaths trying not to get sick. She knew better than to eat that much that fast. The food was richer than anything she had ever eaten.
"I don't think so; I mean its pretty simple try to outlive everyone else." He said looking over at Kimberly.
"Well with that attitude, I don't want to even try to help you." Zordon said standing up so fast that his chair flew back. "I will finish eating in my room." He said grabbing his plate and leaving them alone. Zordon had thought that maybe these two would prove to be something more but apparently he was wrong. They were like every other tribute he had encountered over the years. They just simply didn't care if they lived or not.
"Nasty old man." Dimitria said under her breath as she slowly stood up. "I will leave the two of you to enjoy your meal." She said leaving them alone as well.
Tommy looked over at Kimberly and saw that she didn't look good. He got up and walked around to her. "Are you alright?" He asked kneeling down beside her chair.
"Yea I just ate too fast and this food is richer than what I am used too." She admitted as he nodded.
"Me too." He shared as she stared at him.
"I thought that you ate like this all the time." She said as he laughed.
"Well no, we do not eat like the Capitol does; in fact this is the first time that I have had fresh warm bread." He stated shocking her even more.
"What?" She asked. "You have never eaten fresh bread but you're the son of a baker." She whispered still not believing that he hadn't eaten fresh bread.
"We can't eat it if we want to sell it. Normally we eat what's left over after the day is finished." He shared as she nodded. She could understand that.
"I guess that makes sense and I am sorry for earlier." She said suddenly as he looked at her. "For calling you Thomas instead of Tommy." She clarified.
"Oh don't worry about that, Kimberly." He said taking one of her hands in his.
"You can call me Kim if you prefer." She said slipping her hand out of his. She had never held hands with anyone other than her sister and it felt weird. It was like there was a spark that jumped from his hands to hers.
"What do you want me to call you?" He asked leaning back to give her some space. He knew that she didn't like to be crowded or caged in. She was like the Crane on her pin.
"Kim or Kimberly, it doesn't matter to me, just don't call me Shorty." She said smiling for the first time. "Jason does but only to make me mad." She shared.
Tommy smiled. "I would never call you that. I think you are perfect height." He whispered before standing up. "I guess we need to finish our food before they take it away."
"I'm not sure if I can eat another bite." Kim said looking a little green now.
"You can go on to bed, I don't mind eating alone." He said as she nodded and stood up slowly. He watched her walk back down the hall and disappear into her room. Picking up his fork, he finished eating before everything turned cold. It really was great to actually have warm bread with his meal.
XXXX
Kim just barely made it to her room before she dashed into the bathroom. Why had she eaten so fast? It was a waste of food because it was all coming up now. Leaning back, she rested her back against the cool wall and closed her eyes. She would eat slowly from now on. It was better to savor the food than to throw it back up later. Wrapping her arms around her stomach, she took deep breaths to ease the pain. After what seemed like an hour, she did feel a little better. Standing up, she made her way back into her room. She would need to change before bed but she didn't have any clue on what was in the dressers so she stripped off her dress and climbed into bed in her undergarments. She would worry about picking the dress up in the morning. Right now, she needed to sleep and prepare for tomorrow. It would start her journey to the arena where she would have to be the last one standing.
XXXX
Sunlight filtered in through the window and woke Kim up. She jerked up in a panic because she had forgotten where she was. It came back to her as soon as she looked around the room. She felt the movement of the train and slowly got up. Walking around the bed, she saw her dress from yesterday and picked it up. Her pin was still on it so she took it off and placed it on the dresser. She did not want to lose it, since it was from her father. Opening up one of the drawers, she found clothes lots of clothes. There were pants, shirts, and what looked like night clothes. Quickly pulling out a pair of pants and shirt, she changed and made her way to the dining room. She had to remember to eat slowly this time.
XXXX
Zordon groaned as he woke up and remembered that he had two tributes that he had to get ready for the Games. They would need to talk weapons this morning. He had to find out what they could and could not use. He dressed quickly before finally leaving his room and heading to the dining room. He expected to find only Dimitria there but was shocked when he saw both Tommy and Kimberly already sat down and eating. At least they had made it here on time this morning, maybe there was some hope after all.
"Good morning." Dimitria said as soon as he walked up to the table and sat down. She was in a purple outfit this morning that in his opinion made her hair whiter now. Once they reached the Capitol, he was sure that she would dye her hair whatever shade was in now.
"Good morning, I trust that everyone is ready to start today." He said looking from Tommy to Kimberly. They nodded as he began filling his plate.
"Where do we need to start?" Dimitria asked setting her fork down.
"What are you good at?" Zordon asked ignoring her. He needed to get the tributes talking, not her.
"Nothing." Kim muttered as he sighed. This was going to be harder than he thought. She was a tough nut to crack but he sensed that there was more to her than what meets the eye. She had a air of strength about her that he just knew would help her in the Games.
"Okay what about you Tommy? What are you good at doing?" He asked as Tommy looked over at him.
"I can bake but that's about all." He answered.
"Bake? How is that supposed to help you in the Games? You do realize that this will be a fight to the death?" He asked quickly losing his patience while glaring at his tributes.
"He can lift heavy objects." Kimberly said suddenly. She didn't want Zordon getting mad that Tommy couldn't do anything because he could.
"Lift objects? I guess its something." He said rubbing his chin not really knowing how lifting things would help Tommy.
"Kimberly can shot a bow and arrow." Tommy said turning Zordon's focus on the girl once more.
"Tommy." Kim whispered.
"You can shoot a bow?" Zordon asked looking somewhat happy. She could use an actually weapon. His job just got a little better with her.
"Yes." She replied but didn't explain further. She was not good at sharing things about herself and she really thought that it was none of his business.
"She is good; she never hits any part of the meat when she hunts." Tommy explained knowing that someone needed to speak up about Kimberly's skills and if she didn't then he would. He knew that she didn't talk to a lot of people about anything she could do.
"Tommy! How would you know?" She asked looking at him with a question in her eyes. She had never sold anything around him for him to know that she could hunt. The fewer people that knew she did hunt the better.
"I do eat the squirrel you bring to my father too." He answered with a soft smile. He wanted to reassure her that he wouldn't tell anyone about her hunting besides Zordon.
"Okay that's beside the point, you can hunt? Why didn't you tell me?" Zordon asked as Kimberly turned to face him. "Being able to use the bow will help you in the arena." He said as his eyes gained life in them.
"I don't know, I don't consider that is something that I'm good at." Kim replied as he nodded. It was something that she had to do to survive.
"When we get to the Capitol, all the tributes will be put into training. I do not want you touching a bow any time you are with someone else. You will have a private showing for the Council and only then may you pick up a bow." He said as Kim nodded. It made sense. It was be her surprise talent during the games.
"What can we do then?" Tommy asked thinking that he didn't know how to actually handle a weapon and if he could lift and throw things around, he had nothing to do.
"There will be other stations, learn something else like how to throw a spear or how to tell which plants are edible. It will come in handy, trust me." He said as Tommy and Kim nodded. "Not everyone dies from a tribute. You could die of starvation, dehydration or something equally worse." He explained as they nodded. "Do you know what a Ranger is?" He asked before digging into his food.
"A tribute that trains for the games like San Angelos or District 1 as the Capitol calls them." Kim answered between bites of food which received a dirty look from Dimitria who had stayed quiet for the most part.
"Also the tributes from Marnier Bay and Ocean Bluff or Districts 2 and 4." Tommy stated as Zordon nodded.
"The Rangers will want to get you out of the way so that they can battle it out for themselves. It will be hard to beat them but it has been done before." Zordon stated as Tommy and Kim nodded.
"What's the first thing that we have to do?" Tommy asked finishing his food while Kim took her time. She remembered last night all too well and didn't want to waste this food too.
"First you will meet with your stylist so that they can make your parade outfit." Dimitria said with a smile. "You will be amazing, I'm sure." She said clapping her hands. "The stylists have been working hard on your outfits since you were announced as the tributes." She said with a huge grin on her face. Kim refrained from rolling her eyes because Dimitria didn't know any better. She was raised in the Capitol.
"After that bit of nonsense, you will get a good night's rest before training starts. Now I want you to think about what you will say during your interviews." Zordon stated as everyone finished up.
"Does it matter?" Kim asked leaning back. She didn't like talking to unknown people and the thought of those interviews scared her beyond the Putty Patrol finding out that she hunts in the woods.
"Yes it matters." Zordon yelled. "You will need people to like you so that they can sponsor you in the Games. When you need food, water, or medicine; that money will be a huge help." He said trying to calm down.
"Well enough of that, I think that we should see who will be your competition." Dimitria stated standing up. Kim, Tommy, and Zordon all stood up and followed her into another car where there was a long white couch and a huge screen against the wall. The screen was bigger than any wall in Kim's house. The excess of the Capitol was just slapping her in the face.
Dimitria turned the TV on and got settled on the other side of Zordon. Tommy was on the opposite side with Kim at the end. She felt that she needed to stay away from Zordon at the moment. He seemed really mad at her response to his suggestion but she couldn't help it. She was not the media darling that he wanted and she never would be.
"Of course this is the moment that everyone has been waiting for, the new tributes for the 99th Games." Deca the host of the Games said. She had been the host for as long as Kimberly could remember. It showed a picture of the woman and she like Dimitria was dressed very funny. She had on an orange wig with some kind of orange colored dress. Kim had never seen anything like that before.
"Well let's start tonight off with our first District." She said as Kim mentally said San Angelos. Why couldn't the Capitol just say the name of the district? Did they really have to number them like cattle?
"This year's District 1 tributes are Rito and Archerina." She said as the screen cut to the lottery from yesterday in San Angelos. These two tributes looked big and you could tell that they were happy about being chosen. They pretty much ran up on stage.
"Rangers." Kim heard Tommy said as she looked over at him and nodded.
"Now District 2's tributes are Goldar and Scorpina." She said as Kim shook her head.
"Do they not have normal names?" She asked as Tommy smiled. The screen cut this time to Marnier Bay's lottery as Goldar and Scorpina walked calmly up to the stage. They looked deadly and Kim wondered what their special skills were.
"Didn't they look like they were ready? Now onto to District 3's tributes and they are Gasket and Camille" She said as the screen showed Corinth's lottery with both of them slowly walking to the stage. They didn't look as eager as the other four but then Kim remembered that Corinth wasn't a ranger district.
"They looked a little lost but onto District 4's tributes and I must say that these two looked more than ready to win it all. They are Maligore and Divatox." She said as the screen showed two very mean looking people from Ocean Bluff. Kim had never seen anything like them. Maligore could have been like three people combine while Divatox was tall like one of the trees in her woods outside of Angel Grove.
"Moving along District 5's tributes are Ransik and Trakeena." Deca said as Kim saw the video of them walking to the stage in Animarium. They looked normal and Kim thought that maybe she would be able to take one of them down with very little problems.
"District 6's tributes are Venjix and Dayu and don't they make a lovely pair." She said as Kim had to hold back a cry. They were both young, probably either 12 or 13 and no one volunteer to take their place in Sanzu. Kira would have been like that if she won't have taken her place. How could people being so unfeeling?
"Now onto District 7's tributes are Xandred and Morgana." She said as Kim watched as they walked up to the stage in Mirinoi. Xandred was about her age but Morgana was could only be 12 herself. Why was no one standing up for the younger ones? Was this what their World had come too?
"Well here are the tributes of District 8. They are Lothor and Marah." Deca said as the video showed them walking up. They didn't have a stage in Blue Bay Harbor but they did have a platform for the tributes to walk up on.
"District 9 is next with Vile and Kapri representing them." Kim was shaking her head as they walked up to the stage in Briarwood. Kapri was smaller but Vile was huge. He could have been a ranger if he would have come from another district.
"District 10's tributes this year are Thrax and Elsa." She said as they made their way up to the stage in Stone Canyon. They were at least normal looking but they still looked deadly.
"On to District 11's tributes which are Mesgog and Shayla who is our youngest tribute this year." She said as Kim took a deep breath. Shayla reminded her so much of Kira that it hurt. How was she expected to kill that little girl when the time came? She didn't know if she could.
"And last but surely not least, District 12's tributes. This year provided the district's first volunteer in Kimberly. Joining her in the Games will be Tommy." Deca said as she showed video of Kira's name being called and Kim rushing out to volunteer. Kim looked away as she heard her voice ring through the crowd loud and clear. "I volunteer as tribute!" She still didn't regret her choice even though yesterday could be the last time that she saw her home. Looking back at the screen she saw Tommy making his way to the stage. He looked so brave and tall walking up there. Why had she never noticed that about him? In some ways he was so much like Jason that Kim had to pause. Tommy wasn't very different from her.
"Well there are your tributes who are on their way at this very moment, I know I for one am ready for this year's Games. I think this year will be Games that we will never forget." She said before the screen went black.
"I have to agree with her. This year will be remarkable." Dimitria said before getting up and leaving them alone.
"You would think that you are playing some game instead of fighting to the death with the way the Capitol acts." Zordon muttered before leaving them too.
"You know that I can help you with your interview, if you like." Tommy said breaking the silence.
Kim sighed before turning and facing him. "I'm not even sure if I will be able to talk let alone think of anything to say." She admitted as he nodded.
"Don't worry, just picture Deca as a long-time friend." He suggested as she nodded. "I mean I know that you don't talk that much but you must have tons to say. I see the way you study something." He said as she smiled.
"Maybe I'm just staring." She said as he laughed.
"I don't think so." He replied. "What do you think the Capitol will look like?" He asked trying to break the ice with her. She wasn't a talker but he wanted to know all about her.
"I heard that its surrounded by water so that they'll know when someone is attacking them." She answered.
"Water? I can't see that being a big help." He said sliding a little closer to her on the couch.
"Think about it, you have to either have a boat or take a train into the Capitol so it makes sense." She said standing up as the train came to a stop. "Must be our fueling stop." She said walking over to the window to look out.
"Where do you think we are?" He asked walking up beside her.
"I would say Briarwood or District 9 as the Capitol calls it." She replied.
"Are you scared?" He asked quietly taking hold of her left hand.
Jerking her hand out of his, she backed away before answering. "I think I better go." She said before slipping out of the car.
Tommy sighed and looked back out at Briarwood. They grew grain here or at least that's what he heard. Two more days like this before they even reached the Capitol what was he going to do?
XXXX
Those two days passed slowly as Zordon instructed them on how they show act in public and what to expect when they entered the Capitol. Their old life would fade into the background as they prepared for the Games. If one of them was lucky and did make it out even then they would not get their old life back. Kim tuned this out because if she did win, she fully intended to go back to way things had been.
"Now I want the two of you to make friends, it could help you in the arena." Zordon said as Tommy and Kim looked at each other before looking at him.
"Are you crazy? I don't even want to be close with Tommy because I might have to kill him in the Games." She stated.
"Calm down, it could help you if you made an alliance with some of the other tributes." Zordon shot back.
"I don't think so. I would rather work alone in the arena." Kim said standing up and walking away from them. She made her way to her room. How could Zordon expect her to be friends with people she wanted to hate and that she would have to kill to be able to win? Thankfully they would be in the Capitol in a few hours because she needed to get off this train and get some fresh air and dirt beneath her feet.
XXXX
Okay so what did everyone think? Please let me know.
