So Tommy waited. He let Jason’s car get about a mile ahead of him before he started for his own house. When Tommy had pulled up to the perimeter, he saw Jason and Kimberly get out of the car. His jaw literally dropped when he saw Kimberly. Her hair was long and shiny, her skin was creamy and golden. And with her high-heeled sandals and flowing dress, she looked like a goddess.
“Damn it.” Tommy thought to himself. He had expected Kim to look good, like he always remembered her looking. But he hadn’t expected her to look that good. Tommy watched silently from his car a few yards away as they approached his front door. It was times like this that he wished for his powers of invisibility again.
He steered the jeep as stealthily as possible up the drive, and pulled up beside Jason’s car. He carefully crept out his seat, foregoing the bottles of wine for the moment. He turned his head to look at his friends, who had now begun ringing the doorbell.
Tommy made a mad dash for the underground layer. As it smoothly slid open, he shut the secret door once again, and raced upstairs.The crowd cheered loudly as Kimberly Hart mounted the balance beam for her final event in the Pan Globals. Her entire routine was performed flawlessly, dismount and all. Then came the announcing of her score: 9.8. She’d won the gold medal for beam. As Kimberly took the 1st place position, cameras flashed widely. She’d been one of the most memorable up and coming gymnasts in the 1996 Pan Global Games. Coach Schmidt was clapping wildly for her. Beside him stood Coach Blair, a famous Olympic gymnastic coach. Kimberly smiled widely; all of her dreams were coming true. Or so she thought. The background became fuzzy and began fading away.
Kimberly’s eyes opened slowly; the pain came back to her. Her eyes quickly darted around in a panic as she realized that this wasn’t her room, and it certainly wasn’t her apartment. Her body ached all over. It was then she noticed she couldn’t feel her lower half. She panicked, but she couldn’t move from her bed. She realized that she was in a hospital. Kimberly didn’t know why, but something terrible had happened.Aside from the color, the Mastadon Dinozord and the Elephant Dinozord had very few differences. One of these was that while the Elephant's trunk fired an incredidibly powerful and focused laser pulse, the Mastadon's fired a beam of concentrated cryogenic energy powerful enough to crystalize a large building.
This beam narrowly missed Tyrranosaur's head as it shot across the sky and iced one of the fighters, which then fell like a rock, smashing into several thousand fragments on the concrete below. Above, the Pterodactyl zord performed a truly remarkable series of arial manuevers, shooting down not two, but three of the fighter jets.
