DISCLAIMER

Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the subplots.

After a couple of hours of studying and working, the whole group was heading home.

"Uh…it looks like you learned a lot," Aisha offered. Tommy chuckled.

"Yeah…that sculpting's not my thing," he said and they laughed. "Hey, you should see the hologram Billy made. It's really cool." Aisha quickly caught up with him.

"Hey Billy, where is it? I'd love to see it," she stated.

"See what?" Billy snapped.

"The hologram you made. Remember, you put it in your pocket?" Kimberly reminded him, starting to grab it. Billy pushed Kimberly's hand away.

"Why do you want to see it? So you can steal it?" he asked.

"Billy," Kimberly said in hurt surprise. Justin and Richie shared a look of confusion. What was up with that? Jason and Tommy hung back.

"Zordon, we've got a situation. Billy's…not acting like himself," Jason reported.

"Yeah, and did you ask him to fix our communicators?" Tommy added.

"There's nothing wrong with them, Tommy," Zordon answered. As they cut off the transmission, the boys looked at each other.

"Something weird's going on here, and I think I have a good idea why," Jason stated.

"What do you mean?" Tommy asked.

"I think he might be under one of Rita or Zedd's spells," Jason answered.

"Oh, man," Tommy sighed. "Kim, hold up!" She slowed her gait as the two walked up to her.

"What's going on?" Kimberly questioned.

"Zordon said that he didn't ask Billy to make any adjustments on the communicators," Tommy told her.

"Oh, no. You think he's under one of their spells?" Kimberly queried.

"Yeah," the two boys nodded.

"But what could they-" Jason's question died off as his hands, which had absently gone to his hips, failed to touch a very important piece of accessory.

"My Morpher!" he said. Kimberly and Tommy reached for theirs as well only to realize that they were also missing their Morphers. On the moon, Rita felt her heart drop.

"OOOOOH! THEY'RE CATCHING ON TOO FAST!" she shrieked.

"Scorpina and I will go down with some Putties and distract them long enough for you to retrieve the Morphers from the Blue Ranger," Goldar assured her. Then, they disappeared. Kimberly, Tommy, and Jason ran to catch up with the others.

"Billy!" she called. He turned around. "Billy, hey, can I see my communicator?"

"Why?"

"I just want to see if Zordon knows anything."

"I haven't all of them yet and I don't want-" Billy started to say.

"Save it, Billy. We know Zordon didn't ask you to fix 'em," Jason interrupted, as he, Tommy, and Kimberly put themselves in between the others. Instinctively, Zack and Trini did the same. Rocky and the others looked at each other in confusion. What was going on?

"Billy, come on. I know you can break through this," Kimberly said, placing a hand on his arm. Billy hesitated. Just then, Goldar, Scorpina, and some of Rita and Zedd's Putties appeared.

"What's that you usually yell right about now?" Scorpina taunted.

"Something about 'Morphing time' isn't it?" Goldar queried. As the other Rangers discovered the theft, Jason grabbed the backpack from Billy and Goldar went after him as Scorpina went after Adam, and the Putties headed for various Rangers. Then, there was a strange pressure on Billy's head and he groaned. Jason took his Morpher from the backpack and then tossed it in the air. Tommy caught it, grabbed his Morpher, and then threw it to the next Ranger.

"Hey, what's wrong with Billy?" Aisha wondered, fighting a Putty.

"The spell must be wearing off," Zack answered as kicked one of the 'Z' Putties and then hurried to his friend. "Hang tight, buddy. You'll be better in a sec," he assured, and then continued to fight the clay creatures. Within moments, every Ranger had their Morpher back. Rita yelled angrily.

"OOOOOH! I'LL SHOW THEM!" she shrieked. "MAGIC WAND, MAKE MY GOLDAR AND SCORPINA GROW!" As the scepter landed, steam rose from the earth and the two grew to mammoth heights. Justin, Hilary, Zane, Tina, Chris, Richie, Curtis, Angela, Bulk, and Skull quickly took cover behind some trees.

"Not good!" Aisha warned.

"My head," Billy moaned.

"Whoa! It's morphin' time!" Tommy yelled. "Tigerzord!"

"Drago!"

"Stega!"

"Brachio!"

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber-toothed Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!"

"Tigerzord Power now!"

"Mastodon-Lion Thunderzord Power!"

"Pterodactyl-Firebird Thunderzord Power!"

"Drago Thunderzord Power!"

"Stega Thunderzord Power!"

"Brachio Thunderzord Power!"

"Triceratops-Unicorn Thunderzord Power!"

"Saber-toothed Tiger-Griffin Thunderzord Power!"

"Tyrannosaurus-Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!" The zords came together to create the Thunder Megazord and pulled out the zord's sword and lashed out at the creatures. Scorpina wrapped her long tentacles around the zords and zapped it, giving Goldar the chance to blast them with his sword. The zords fell to the ground.
