BACK IN HIS CLUTCHES

AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER

Tommy's inner thoughts during the scene of Changing Of The Zords Pt 3" leading up to when he agreed to pilot the zords for Zedd. Will most likely be short and disjointed, but it's supposed to be. Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon.

Pilot zords for them? No! I can't! I can't be his and Rita's pawn again! I can't! I won't! But what about Kim? We can't just leave her there. I wish Jason was here. I can't make a decision like this! Don't make me do this! Please! Please, no! Not Kim! Do whatever you want to me, just not her! Don't hurt her! What do I do? Jason, I don't know what to do. What would you do if you were here, Bro? What would you say? I can't! I don't want to! Please! Zordon, tell us we can't! Tell us Kim would kill us if we did this! But if we don't, she'll be killed herself. I can't let them drain her like they drained me. I can't let them break her like that! I can't let her slip into that darkness! Everyone's counting on me! What do I do? Should I tell him yes? But if I do that, they've got control of me! I swore never again! Please! I don't want to make this decision! Somebody else make it for me! I can't-okay, okay, calm down. You have to make a decision. You're the leader, and you have to do this. I can't believe I'm agreeing to this. I'm so sorry, Beautiful. They've got me again. Jase, I'm so sorry, I know I'm letting you down here, and I'm letting Kim down, but this is the only thing I can think of to do. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm back in their clutches again…I'm sorry.
