Not Her

For some reason, you're Purple instead of Silver. 

When I came to, I found myself immobilized by restraints. Then, when I looked up, I saw Rita standing on a dock, watching us. The last thing I remembered was fighting Rita, and losing. As I fainted, I heard Jason screaming my name, but I couldn't scream back. Beside me, tied to the same boat I was, all of my friends, too were captured. Next to me was Jason, and on my other side was Billy. I guessed that I was the last to wake because everyone looked to me when I started looking around.

Rita began pacing around on the dock. "I'll make this very simple, amatuer rangers. This can go the easy way or the hard way, alright? All I need to know is where the Zeo Crystal is." Rita stopped pacing when she was standing just in front of Jason. "So, Red Ranger, what will it be?"

Jason shook his head, "We don't know where it is," he explained.

"Don't lie!" Rita yelled angrily, then pointed her staff towards me. "Tell me the truth or I kill Ms. Purple—"

"—I promise... I don't know where it is! Zordon didn't tell us anything in order to protect us."

Rita laughed, "Just as you are protecting your friends now..." She sighed, "Oh, Red... I believe you, don't you worry. However, one of you knows the true whereabouts of my crystal. The ranger who knows the answer should come forward before I start taking you out one by one." She was pacing again, somehow that made her threat more real to us, yet no one said anything. I didn't know where the crystal was, and nor did Jason, but who did? I begged that they wouldn't say anything to Rita. I'd rather die than give Rita the crystal willingly. "Alright, then. You've made your choice." Rita stopped in front of Zack then pressed her staff against his forehead. Zack began screaming out in pain, and the rest of us started to protest by attempting to escape our restraints and help him, but we were trapped. "Someone better fess up," Rita warned.

"Alright! Alright!" Billy cried out. We all relaxed, including Rita who stopped torturing Zack. "I know where the Zeo Crystal is."

Desperately, Rita moved in front of him, with a lust for power in her eye, "Where? Where is my crystal?"

"It's under a dining establishment..."

"What does that mean?" she questioned, growing angry.

Billy sighed, "It's under a Krispy Kreme." We all became confused. "It's under Krispy Kreme, alright... please just let us go."

Rita hesitated, "Hmmm..." She took a step back, "Fine. However, I'm sure that Zordon will be most disappointed in me if I don't kill one of you. So..." I watched as she turned to me, lifted her staff, and the next thing I knew, I was dropped into the water with my hands and legs still tied together. I couldn't do anything to stay afloat, and with the shock of being suddenly dropped into the salt water, I didn't have time to catch a breath. Instantly, I began to fear that I would drown, and through the blurred world above me, I could still tell that my friends were trapped. Again, I tried to scream Jason's name, trying to reach him, but I couldn't.

Tears stained my cheeks as Rita disappeared and we were all released. Quickly, we all hurried over to the edge of the dock and started pulling [y/n] out of the water. I kept mumbling to myself, hoping that she was still alive. Just as Zack grabbed her and pulled her onto the dock, we all fell backwards. I crawled over to [y/n], and saw that her eyes were closed and she wasn't breathing.

Distressed, I leaned over her, "No... [y/n]..." I started doing CPR, constantly begging for her to wake up again, and I admitted that the tears weren't helping me stay calm. "Wake up, baby. Please." I was begging more at this point, trying to shake her back. "[y/n]!" I cried as Billy came to my side and put his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry, man," Billy said with tears streaming his face, too. "She's gone."

"No," I denied. "No. She's not gone!" Kim rushed to my other side and pulled me into a hug, separating me from [y/n]. "Stop it," I tried pushing her away. "She's not dead!"

Kim held me tighter, "Jason... You have to stop. We have to get Rita— that's the only way we can do right by [y/n] now."

"I can't lose her, Kim... I can't lose her." I cried into Kim's shoulder as [y/n] laid beside us, still not breathing. "We have to take her back to Zordon. Maybe he can do something." I turned to pick her up, "Help me," I pleaded desperately, "Please..." I cried harder as they all came to my side and helped me carry her through the morning back to Zordon.
