Author's Note: I own nothing but the idea. Characters and all that belongs to Saban. Please read and review. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you to all of you that reviewed, and again, thanks to Shawn for beta reading. The prologue was just to give a background on how this war started, different than the show. This chapter will give an idea on what it means to be a Power Ranger in my MMPR Universe. Hope y'all like it.
Ancient Olympic Ruins
Olympia, Greece
Saturday, 3:43 PM, local time
Six rays of light touched down in front of the ruins at Olympia, Greece. Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Tommy, Billy, and Kimberly materialized in their respective colors, eager to get this latest mission of Zordon's over with. This was not how any of them would like to spend their Saturday, but they were used to their time being used for missions instead of normal teen activities.
Over the last few months, the intergalactic being had the six teenagers all over the universe – from deep inside the Arctic Circle to other planets, such as Mirinoi. He had given the rangers the task of collecting shards from across the universe. Zordon was vague on the nature of the shards, only informing the teens that retrieving them was essential to the existence of the universe.
That was enough for them.
Their last two trips involved a run in with enemies – some new, some old. Goldar and Rito Revolto found the rangers in a cave in New Zealand. The villains were particularly ruthless in their attempt to steal the shard, nearly fatally wounding Rocky in a deadly chase near a waterfall.
Their journey to the Machine Empire forced the rangers to fight a new foe, Archerina, who had penchant for shooting people with arrows. Zordon only commented on the shards having mystical powers. Whatever those shards were for, if the number of villains trying to covet them was any indication, they needed to be guarded.
Billy tucked away his flashlight, holding the tracking beam in front of him. He scrunched his face in confusion. The tracker indicated that the shard was right where they were. Its energy reading was through the roof; Billy feared the tracker would blow out eventually.
"Guys," he called out. They all looked at him. "The tracker says the shard is right here where we stand…but I see nothing indicating that this claim is justified."
Rocky studied him for a moment. "It's been right on picking up the energy all the other times."
Billy nodded. "I recognize this, Rocky, but there is clearly no shard in our immediate vicinity."
Adam walked over to his blue friend, pondering the tracker for a few seconds. His eyes moved from the tracker to the surrounding area. There was nothing but ruins surrounding them. If a shard were nearby, it would definitely be apparent in this rubble. The shards emitted a bright blue glow – even with the sun out, the shard would shine like a beacon. The teens had already found one shard near Ivan Ooze's burial site and stolen another from King Mondo – they were familiar with what they looked like.
Adam bit his bottom lip in thought. "Maybe it's underground?"
Billy considered this idea – it was not at all farfetched. "Let me contact Alpha and Zordon to see if they can run a scan on our position. Maybe they can detect some type of cavern below the surface."
Rocky laughed softly. "Just call it a cave, Billy." The senior ranger looked at his friend, smiling sheepishly. He honestly couldn't help it.
Tommy Oliver sat down on a nearby boulder, waiting for Alpha to run the scan over the area. His hair was tied back in a strict ponytail, out of his face in case of a battle. Tommy wore a white muscle shirt, dark denim jeans hanging low on his hips. He sighed – he was absolutely bored.
Tommy looked out over his friends. Rocky and Adam were playfully sparring nearby. Both were wearing muscle shirts in their respective colors and shorts – Rocky in khakis, Adam in jean shorts. Tommy scoffed, slightly annoyed he hadn't worn shorts today. From the way the breeze across his arms, he knew the cool air would feel nice on his long legs. Billy stood off to the side, speaking quietly into his communicator with Zordon and Alpha. Aisha and Kimberly were sitting together on the ground, quietly whispering and giggling to each other. Tommy gave a slight smile at the inseparable duo.
Kimberly Hart. His wonderful, beautiful, amazing girlfriend. The dark jean shorts she was sporting were causing all sorts of naughty images to run across his mind, like peeling them off of her body… with his teeth. She was currently wearing a pink tank top, but it was hidden by the huge sweatshirt she wore over the top. Kimberly's small frame was wrapped up in his white Angel Grove University sweatshirt – the letters 'AGU' were in navy blue. All one could see of her body were her small hands sticking out, her head peaking through the top, and her long, strong legs protruding from the bottom of her shorts. Tommy gave a low groan at the sight of her ass in those shorts; they were long enough to keep from revealing anything but short enough to tease you with the swells of those round cheeks every now and then. He bit his lip at the thought.
He smiled when he saw her body go rigid for a few seconds – she could feel him watching. He saw her run a hand through her hair, leaning over to whisper something to Aisha. Aisha nodded, moving then to stand up and stretch. Kimberly stood with her, laughing softly at something Aisha said before parting ways. She turned towards him, bottom lip sliding between her teeth. She moved towards him, stopping when her legs brushed against his longer ones.
"Hey," she said softly, almost shyly.
He looked up at her, and his breath caught in his throat. The sun was heading down, and with Kim's position, it made her look heavenly with the sun shining behind her. Tommy eyed her for a second before scooting back on his boulder, widening the space between his thighs – it was just enough room for someone of her size. "Hey."
She moved to sit between his legs, his arms automatically moving to wrap around her waist, tucking inside the pockets in the front of the sweatshirt. "Bored?" she asked.
He groaned softly before burying his face into her neck, making her giggle. "It's almost 6 AM our time. I can't deal with the time change. My mind says it's midday but my body is still waking up."
Kimberly chuckled softly, turning sideways to face her boyfriend. Reaching up, she touched the side of his face. "Aww, poor baby…" she cooed mockingly, pinching his cheek.
He scoffed, pouting at her. Kimberly smiled before leaning up and kissing him soundly on the lips. Tommy felt the hairs rise on the back of his neck from the contact, and he pulled away briefly. Kimberly looked up at him, her eyes trying to read his face in the sunlight. Tommy looked off to the side, quickly checking where their friends were before making his move.
Tommy scooped Kimberly into his arms, lifting her up before closing his legs beneath her. Kimberly held in her shocked gasp, blushing as Tommy sat her in his lap. She could feel her neck burning, and she felt a smile creep over her face as he cupped her cheek in his hand.
"Now, where were we?" He smiled at her softly before leaning in to capture her lips in a sweet kiss. Tommy pulled her closer to his body as their lips fused together, the heat increasing in their kiss. Kimberly let out a low moan, sending jolts right to Tommy's groin. The need for air arose, and the two parted, breathing deeply. Kimberly scanned Tommy's face briefly, gaze lingering on his lips as she bit her bottom lip nervously. Tommy grinned, kissing her and pulling her bottom lip from its hiding place with his teeth. Kimberly giggled, smiling against his lips briefly before grabbing his face between her hands, pouring every ounce into the kiss. Her tongue snaked into his mouth, dueling with his in their passionate kiss.
"Oh fearless leader! Kimmie!" shouted Rocky, his tone annoyingly high-pitched. Tommy broke off the kiss with a frustrated sigh, resting his forehead against Kim's.
"I'm going to kill Rocky once this whole thing is over," he mumbled lowly.
Kim laughed, extricating herself from her boyfriend. Standing, she reached out her hands, grasping his larger ones tightly. She tugged his hands. "Come on, handsome."
With a groan, Tommy stood to his feet, stretching his long limbs in the process. He scowled as he saw Rocky waving furiously at them, reaching down with his right hand to grab Kimberly's left. Interlocking their fingers, Tommy and Kim walked over to their teammates, curious as to what all the noise was for.
"There's a large cavern underground. The size alone rivals that of the Command Center." Billy ran a hand over his face in frustration. "Alpha will teleport us there shortly. Have your flashlights ready." The teens pulled out their flashlights, turning them on.
Adam scowled when Rocky flashed his light directly in his eyes, reaching over to smack him hard in the stomach. Rocky winced, groaning from the impact of his friend's fist.
"Adam… ow," he moaned in pain. "I don't like it when you play rough." Aisha snickered at Rocky's choice of words, and if anyone looked closely, they could see Adam's ears burning red.
Kim giggled at Aisha and Tommy smirked, laughing at Rocky's sputtering to explain what he meant. Before he could speak however, the teens were teleported away from the ruins, relocating underground.
Tommy looked around with his flashlight. "Everyone okay?"
A chorus of 'yeahs' indicated that everyone was fine.
"I think we should morph. We can't really see what's down here, and I'd rather be prepared in case something comes at us."
The others murmured their agreement, each morphing into their Ninjetti robes. Tommy pulled back the hood of his robe, looking around the area. The cavern was almost completely shrouded in darkness, save for a few rays of light that shined from the surface.
"Billy?" The boy in blue looked at his friend for a second before snapping into action. "Right."
Lifting the tracker, Billy winced at the strain on the small machine. It was beginning to short circuit, a clear sign the shard was nearby. "It should be up ahead… 200, maybe 250 paces."
Tommy nodded. "Rocky, head up the front." The young man moved, stepping ahead of Billy. "Billy, Aisha, flank him on either side. Help direct him to the shard. Aisha, use your animal spirit to look in the dark where our flashlights don't reach. Look for any motion in the shadows." She closed her eyes, connecting with her animal spirit.
"Adam, you and Kim fall behind Billy and Aisha. Adam, you get behind Billy. The frog's night vision is stronger than the bear's. If anything were to attack us, it would be from behind Billy or on the side." Adam nodded. "Kim, you have the best hearing out of all of us. Listen for anything… unusual. I'll pull up the rear."
The teens got into formation, walking forward slowly as they made their way through the cavern.
"If you see anything that moves with the intention of attacking… stop it. By any means necessary." They all nodded, taking note of the hard edge in his tone.
Adam and Aisha kept a look out for anything moving in the shadows; their pupils were heavily dilated and their eyes showed little white in them.
Aisha shook her head slowly. "Wow."
Kim turned towards her friend, her eyes solid white from accessing the acute hearing of the crane. "What is it, Aisha?"
Adam answered for her. "This place is massive guys." He turned around in a full circle. "This must have been some type of underground arena or something."
Adam took in the area around him. A large circular stage, five times the size of the main control room of the Command Center, was before them. Around the stage were several large stone blocks. The stones were deteriorating; some missing large pieces, but it was obvious that they once served as seats around the arena.
"Stairs. Twelve of them. About nineteen paces," murmured Aisha. Rocky nodded, turning his flashlight before him. As Aisha stated, there were large steps in front of them.
Rocky took notice of the large gaping holes in the stones beneath his feet. "Be careful guys, the steps are in bad shape."
"About fifty paces left," said Billy softly, tucking the tracker in his robes after turning it off. At this point, the device was no longer needed. The shard's energy could be felt all around them.
Kimberly stopped walking abruptly, and Tommy nearly walked over her.
"Kim?" he whispered softly. She shook her head, cocking it to the side. "We're not alone," she said softly, using their Ninjetti link to tell them all telepathically.
The other rangers perked up at this. "Do you hear them, Tommy?" Tommy closed his eyes, accessing his own animal spirit. He nodded vigorously.
"There are over forty of them," said Billy with a scowl in their heads. "I can hear them breathing."
"Turn off your lights." The rangers nodded, concentrating their energy on accessing their acute animal senses in the darkness. "Summon your weapons."
One by one, the rangers felt their respective weapons appear in their hands. Aisha tucked her butterfly swords into the pockets of her robe, opting only to use them when necessary. Adam twirled his nunchucks around his body, familiarizing himself with them once again. Kimberly twirled her sais in her hands in rapid circles with gentle flicks of the wrist. Billy stood remote with his broadswords, solemnly remembering the last time he had to use them in the Arctic Circle. Tommy did a quick kata with his bo staff, testing the weight in his hands.
"Spread out. All communication will be done through our link."
The teens split up, heading in opposite directions. Tommy reached from Kimberly's arm as she walked past him. She turned towards him, not surprised when he leaned down to give her a quick, firm kiss. Pulling away, she squeezed his arm firmly before heading off into the dark.
Rocky walked forward smugly, hands in his pockets; he began to whistle the song "A Hunting We Will Go." The sound was loud in the dark cavern, and slightly ominous given the knowledge of an impending attack. Rocky took a leisurely pace, knowing he was confusing the enemies that hid in the shadows. He could smell them; their pungent odors made him grimace. He looked up in the dark cave, whistling louder as the smell began to get stronger. They were moving towards him.
Silently, Rocky summoned his weapons, grinning at the familiar weight of the katana in each hand.
"Rocky, they're coming at you. One on the left, two on the right," said Adam quickly.
Rocky smiled. "I know. I can smell their sweat."
Aisha grimaced. "Really? That's absolutely disgusting." The others chuckled over the link.
Rocky could literally feel one of them hovering near him. Rocky stopped whistling, moving quickly to bring his katana down on the surprised head of a Tengu Warrior. The large creature squawked in surprise before its head was severed, rolling to hit the feet of the Tengu Warrior next to it.
"Go!" yelled Tommy out loud. The rangers shot off, finding their enemies in the dark.
It was a loud clash of metal against metal. In the air, the smell of blood and sweat mixed together, getting stronger as the battle waged on.
Adam executed a butterfly kick to the chest of one of the Tengu, stunning it as it fell to the ground. He knocked it unconscious with a quick blow to the head, lowering to make sure it was out cold. Two Tengu surprised Adam from behind, preparing to attack him. Adam turned at their sudden arrival, preparing to strike, but relaxed seeing the large blade protruding from each of their stomachs. The blades withdrew, and the Tengu fell dead to the ground.
Billy walked over to Adam. "You alright?" The black ranger nodded, looking around in the dark.
"Guys, there are more than just Tengu down here," he said telepathically, surveying the cavern. There were Tengu, Tyrannodrones, and Piranhatrons all over the place.
Aisha grunted as she shoved a dead Piranhatron off of her. She wiped the dirt off of her face. "Yeah, I know." She removed her butterfly knife from its chest. "That means Zeltrax and Rygog are here."
Tommy swung his bo staff in a strong arc, using his Ninjetti power to send a blast wave at his strong opponent. "And Goldar."
Goldar growled at the white ranger, running at him full speed with his sword in hand. He swung at Tommy, forcing the ranger to evade the deadly blow. It was difficult to fight the creature in the dark. Goldar had the advantage, his vision in the night as clear as in daylight. He quickly jumped at the opportunity to fight the leader of the Power Rangers.
Tommy's limbs were burning. Goldar seemed stronger than before, more sadistic. He had already slashed Tommy twice, deep across the abdomen and along his left leg. Goldar, noticing the wounds, kicked out at Tommy, slamming his foot directly against the wound on his leg. Startled, Tommy let out a pained groan, falling to one knee as Goldar maintained pressure on his leg.
"I've been wanting to kill you for so long, Falcon," Goldar hissed. Tommy could see Goldar's red eyes glowing in the dark. They looked crazed… maniacal. He swung forward, slamming his hand into the wound on the boy's stomach. Tommy nearly doubled over from the pain.
"I'm going to make you suffer. Peel your skin from your bones and watch you die. Slowly." Goldar grinned. Reaching forward, he grabbed Tommy roughly by the throat, lifting him high into the air. Tommy could feel his eyes watering. A whistling noise in the air registered faintly in Tommy's mind as his world began to fade.
Suddenly, Goldar screamed in shock and pain. He released Tommy, dropping the teen to the ground in a heap. Tommy began to cough harshly, his lungs hungrily seeking oxygen.
Behind Goldar, a pink blur appeared. Kimberly glared coldly at the creature before her. Quickly, she grabbed her sai protruding from between his wings. The wound was deep and in the most vulnerable part of his body, leaving him winded. Seeing that Goldar was out of commission for a while, she ran over to Tommy.
"Baby, are you okay?" Tommy nodded vigorously and then winced, grabbing at his abdomen.
"Oh fuck, Tommy…" she murmured. His robes were damp from his blood, and he flinched when her hands brushed against his abdomen. Pushing him back, Kimberly grabbed his hands, interlocking his fingers with hers. She knew that doing this would give their position away, but at the moment, she really couldn't care less.
"Kim, now isn't the time to –" She shushed him, closing her eyes and concentrating on their link as a soft gold glow surrounded their bodies. Slowly, Tommy felt the pain in his abdomen and leg fade away. He could feel the wounds healing themselves… just a few more seconds of their connection and it would be fixed.
"You!" screamed Rygog. Kimberly released Tommy's hands, pissed that she didn't have time to fully heal him but happy that he could now stand on his own and protect himself. She stood up quickly, Tommy moving to her side.
"Guys, I need help!" yelled Rocky over the link. "I'm near the shard, but there's too many of them. I can't hold them off."
Tommy looked down at Kim. "Go help Rocky get the shard. I'll hold off Rygog." She nodded, running quickly to where she could hear Rocky's grunts and groans.
Rocky was currently under siege; at least fifteen of only-God-knows-what were currently piled on top of him. He could barely move his limbs, mindful of the flurry of fists coming down on him. Frustrated, Rocky gave a loud growl. Summoning the power of the ape, Rocky grasped his katana tightly, swinging in a large circle.
"GET OFF OF ME!" he yelled, sending the creatures back a good ten feet. Dazed, the creatures jumped back up, converging on the red warrior again. Billy and Aisha came to his aid, rushing behind the Tyrannodrones and Tengu, diverting their attention from Rocky.
In the midst of driving his broadsword through the shoulder of a Tengu, Billy spotted Kimberly and Adam heading over.
"Where's Tommy?" he asked out of breath, pushing the wounded Tengu off his sword before swinging the other around to decapitate it.
"Fighting off Rygog." Billy nodded his understanding as Kim continued, "Where's Goldar?"
Adam laughed. "Funny thing. I think all of them are after the same thing. I was fighting off Goldar when Zeltrax came out of nowhere… took off one of Goldar's wings." Billy's eyes widened. "They're currently trying to kill each other."
Aisha grunted, taking an uppercut from a Tyrannodrone. She threw her knife at it in anger, later pulling it out from its forehead. "Can we please get the fucking shard already?" she asked, spitting out blood.
"Adam, Kim, you two look for the shard. The rest of us will handle these cronies," ordered Rocky. "Before I got over here, they were digging in that spot over there." He pointed with his katana. The pink and black rangers nodded, running over.
"Remember," said Billy, swinging his sword at a Piranhatron, "try not to touch the shard." Billy recognized that following through with his request would be nearly impossible given the conditions of the current situation. However, Zordon stressed the importance of not making direct contact with them.
Kim and Adam got on their hands and knees, digging furiously.
Tommy stood over Rygog, staff nestled at the creature's throat. "Yield," he growled lowly. The being swallowed loudly before nodding, putting his hands up in surrender. Tommy waited a few seconds before removing his staff, turning his back on the hideous creature.
Rygog grew angry, having yielded to a Power Ranger. He gave a roar, moving quickly to his feet. Tommy anticipated this, reaching down to grab the sword Rygog lost early in the fight. Quickly, Tommy turned, allowing Rygog to run full speed onto his own sword. The creature's eyes widened in shock as he stumbled back, falling to his knees. Tommy stared at him before turning away, running over to his friends. He ignored the hard thud as Rygog fell to the ground, never to stand again.
Rocky grimaced as he received another kick to the stomach, biting his tongue in the process. "Son of a bitch," he groaned. Angrily, he swung out at the Tengu Warrior, cracking its beak with his fist before doing a low sweep of its feet.
"I'm really getting tired of you guys," he muttered. Unbeknownst to Rocky, a Tyrannodrone was sneaking behind him, ready to deliver a deadly strike to his back. Tommy flipped over behind his friend, slamming his foot into the chest of the Tyrannodrone before cracking its skull with his staff.
Rocky gave a genuine laugh. "I've never been so happy to see you." Tommy grinned back, slightly grimacing as Rocky flipped his katana around in his hand, slamming the butt of his sword into the Tengu's skull.
"What's the word on the shard?" yelled Tommy.
Kim sighed. "Nothing here," she yelled back as she continued to dig.
Adam let out a yelp. "Guys," he screamed, his hands holding a mound of dirt that emitted a faint blue glow. "This is it! I found it! I got the -"
Aisha looked on, horrified, as Goldar emerged behind Adam, bloodied and more enraged than ever. Grasping the back of the boy's robes, Goldar flung him to the other side of the cavern, the dirt pile falling from his hands. He landed with a sickening thud, and Aisha screamed, running over to check on her friend.
The pile of dirt flew up in the air, falling away from the shard which glowed brightly in the room. Goldar laughed sadistically, reaching out a bloody hand to grab the flying shard.
His laugh ended when Kimberly emerged, having thrown herself into a full-on flip. Her small hand snatched the shard right before it could make contact with Goldar, angering the creature to no end. He swung wildly in his rage, hitting her leg and knocking her off course. She fell hard onto her back, slamming her head into a nearby stone, knocking her unconscious.
"You stupid girl," snarled Goldar. Tommy's eyes widened as he saw Goldar move toward Kimberly's body, sword drawn.
"NO!" yelled the white ranger. He ran full speed to Goldar, swinging his bo staff at the evil being with all his might. Goldar stepped back in surprise, confused at Tommy's burst of energy. He laughed in the teen's face as he stood over his girlfriend.
"You didn't learn your lesson the first time, boy?" he grinned, readying himself to fight the teen once again.
Billy dialed in on his communicator. "Zordon! Alpha! Please come in!" The desperation in his voice was strange to his own ears.
"We read you, Billy," replied Alpha 5.
"Beam us back to the Command Center. We have the shard and are in immediate danger. Kimberly and Adam have suffered injuries." There was a pause.
"Prepare to teleport in twenty seconds." Rocky rushed over to Aisha, helping her pull an injured Adam into an upright position. He carried the bulk of Adam's weight.
"Tommy!" he yelled, hoping to get his friend's attention. Tommy's adrenaline was high, his energy spent on protecting Kimberly. Billy stood in front of Rocky and the others, fighting off the Tengu and Tyrannodrones that were still coming at them.
"God dammit, Tommy! Stop fighting Goldar! We're teleporting! Grab Kim and the shard! Let's GO!" Rocky yelled, distracting Tommy as Goldar swept him off his feet.
Tommy shook his head, looking over to see Kimberly still on the ground. Crawling quickly towards her, he grabbed her hand. Carefully, he pulled her up with him, resting her smaller frame against his larger one. He had one hand on the small of her back, the other interlocked with her fingers – the shard in between their hands.
"Teleporting now." The rangers began to glow faintly before a bright light appeared in the room, leaving no trace of them being there.
"NO!" growled Goldar angrily, throwing his sword to the ground where Tommy once stood in frustration. He would have to return to the Moon Palace to face Lord Zedd and Rita empty-handed… again.
The rangers landed in the Command Center, physically worn and mentally exhausted.
"Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi!" exclaimed Alpha, at the sight of an unconscious Adam and barely conscious Kimberly.
Rocky wiped his forehead. "Goldar threw Adam across the cavern. I'm not sure what he landed on, but it was hard enough to knock him out." He looked at the awkward angle of his friend's left arm. "I'm pretty sure his arm needs to be fixed." Rocky and Billy moved quickly, placing Adam on one of the tables.
Tommy held onto Kimberly's hand as he lowered her onto the other table, their fingers still intertwined. "I think Kim just has a concussion," he said softly, running his fingers through her hair.
Alpha ran a scan over Adam and Kimberly, checking their injuries. "They both will be fine. Adam's left arm is broken and he has a mild concussion. Kimberly has a more serious concussion. You must keep them awake." The rangers nodded, moving to keep their hurt friends awake.
Zordon looked down at his rangers. They were tired, hungry, and highly emotional. He wished he did not have to place such a burden on their young shoulders, but this war left him no choice.
"RANGERS," he began, "I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT ALL OF YOU ARE BACK HERE AND ALIVE." The rangers nodded; Adam and Kimberly stared dazedly at Zordon. "YOU ALL FOUGHT BRAVELY TODAY ON YOUR MISSION, AND I COMMEND YOU ON A JOB WELL DONE."
He looked at his rangers. "WHERE IS THE SHARD YOU RETRIEVED FROM GREECE?"
The rangers looked towards Tommy, who appeared to be slightly out of it. Blinking rapidly, he shook his head before removing his hand from Kim's. Tommy dropped the tiny shard on the table in front of him.
Zordon stared at his white ranger, trying desperately to conceal his reaction to the white ranger having touched the shard.
"TOMMY, HOW LONG HAVE YOU AND KIMBERLY BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE SHARD?"
Tommy scrunched up his face. "I'm not sure, Zordon, everything happened so fast. Kimberly held it for longer than I did, but for the most part, we held it together." He rubbed the back of his neck. "We didn't mean to, Zordon, but with everything going on and digging it out the ground, it just sorta… happened," he finished lamely.
Zordon nodded, throwing a glance at Alpha 5 that did not go unnoticed by Billy.
"I UNDERSTAND, TOMMY. RANGERS, PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR QUARTERS. TAKE ADAM AND KIMBERLY TO THE MEDICAL BAY FIRST." The rangers nodded, heading out of the main room.
Alpha and Zordon stood in silence, staring at the tiny shard Tommy placed before them.
"Zordon… Tommy and Kimberly… they-" began Alpha.
The Eltarian shook his head. "I KNOW, ALPHA. I KNOW."
