Yeah, look who finally got off her lazy butt. Since college is about to start again, I thought I would try to get this story finished. I also messed up in my last chapter. When the Rangers were talking they should have been in italic's.

Italic's mean that Jonathon is giving the Rangers their voices. When Jonathon is not using them, they will be talking normal. Confused yet?

"Hey Bulk, I don't think we're going to find the same kind of puppet Adam has," Skull said, turning a puppet over in his hands. After their run in with Adam and his friends at the Juice Center that day, Bulk had dragged him to the nearest toy store to see if they had any type of puppet close to Adam's so they could show everyone that Adam's dummy was a fake. So far, they almost had the entire shelf cleaned off.

Bulk just threw one of the puppets on the floor next to a pile of puppets he already looked at. Skull was right. None of these looked like Adam's since they all had strings attached. He pulled his friend away from the shelf and left the mess on the floor for the work crew to clean up. They walked outside and turned down an ally, a short cut to get to the Juice Center, when suddenly he thought of an idea.

"That's it! Tomorrow when Adam brings in that stupid doll into school, you distract him and I'll grab the doll. We'll then rip it open to see what it really does."

"Good idea," Skull said with a laugh. He walked behind Bulk as he went on with the plan while he only nodded and smiled. He was about to kick a trashcan off to the side when he heard a small voice.

"Skull."

He stopped in his tracks and looked around at his surroundings. He knew it didn't belong to Bulk because one, he was still talking and two, this voice sounded like a female. A familiar female voice. He looked around once more and ran to catch up with his friend when he heard the voice again, but this time, another voice joined in.

"Skulllllll."

"Bulkkkkk."

Both boys stopped, pointing accusing fingers at one another, but as they stared at each other with their mouths open, the voices were heard once more, this time closer.

"Do you want to play a game?" the female voice asked.

"We love to play games. Our Master said to have fun," the other voice said.

Suddenly, two trashcans that stood off to the side lifted up and were thrown right across Bulk and Skulls path. Both boys looked over, hoping to see who it was, but all they saw was nothing and heard little footsteps running around them. Laughter filled the ally as the boys listened to the voices talk.

"Ring around the rosy."

"Aisha?" Skull asked out loud. He knew he recognized that voice from somewhere. But where was she?

"If that's Aisha, then..." Bulk started when he heard the familiar voice of Rocky.

"Pocket full of posies."

"Alright you two. We know it's you guys. You're trying to get back at us for what we said to Adam," Bulk said, looking around. "Games over. We know it's you so show yourselves."

"Ashes, ashes," a new voice said.

Both boys turned around and gasped at what they saw before them. There stood Jonathon, human size, and he was holding Adam in his arms. Before they could even let out a scream, Jonathon waved his wand and laughed as the blue mist hit Bulk and Skull in the chest.

"We all fall down."

"I don't understand this," Kim said, kicking the wall. "How come they had their voices and we don't?"

"I think I might know," Billy said, standing up. "Try to follow me. Remember in the Juice Center when Adam, Aisha, and Rocky were showing us how to make Jonathon talk in a different voice?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. If you listen really close to Jonathon when he talks, you can hear a mix of different voices but you hear more of the voice that Adam gave him."

"Yeah. Adam said something about back in the times that people believed that when their loved ones passed away, their spirit went into their stomach and can only talk through a wooden dummy," Tommy said, remembering the long talk he had with Adam. "I think he called it belly talking."

"Correct. Jonathon was a dummy and Adam was a ventriloquist. So Adam had his voice and he then gave Jonathon a different voice. To make people believe that Jonathon was talking all on his own. Well...Jonathon is now more human and we're the dummies so that means..."

"He has our voices."

"Bingo. I assume that when Jonathon changed us into puppets, he took our voices and when he wants one of us to talk, he will use our own voices so no one will know the difference. Our voices are now his 'belly talking.'"

"But why only use Adam, Aisha, and Rocky?" Kim asked.

"That's easy," Billy said. "Everyone knows that Adam, Aisha, and Rocky know ventriloquism so what better way to trick people than those who know ventriloquism."

"So was it Adam or Jonathon that contacted us?"

"I would say it was Adam," Tommy said. He held up his wrist to show them the wooden communicator. "See. Their wood. Jonathon must have changed them the second Adam called for help."

All three Rangers looked up when they heard two sets of laughter getting closer. They walked over to the door that led to the bridge and saw Jonathon and Rito walk into the room, holding their friends.

"That was so cool," Rito said, putting Aisha and Rocky down on the bridge. "I got to hand it to ya, your puppets know how to have fun. Did you see the looks on those boys faces?"

"Yes I did and I will agree with you. My children are fun to play with. I'm sad to leave them here for now," Jonathon said, setting Adam down on the bridge next to his friends. "But Lord Zedd and Lady Rita said play time is over."

"Hey, we have a park full of puppets. Lord Zedd and Rita told us to start destroying things now. We can have fun with that," Rito said, hitting Jonathon on the arm.

"Wonderful idea!"

"Awe, thanks. Can we bring the Rangers?"

"No. I will not have my children be harmed. I might be evil now, but a Puppet Master always takes good care of his children and these six are very special to me. They will stay here until further noticed. Besides, we have those two goof balls to play with." Jonathon waved his wand and watched as Adam, Aisha, and Rocky collapsed on the bridge. "There we go. Now I have power to control all the other puppets."

Tommy watched as Jonathon and Rito walked out of the room before coming out of his hiding spot. He ran across the bridge and knelt next to his friends to see if their were alright. Other than being puppets.

"They okay?" Kim asked. She got her answer when she heard three moans and then her friends started coming around. She knelt down and helped Aisha up and laughed when her friend just looked around and then looked at them.

"What the hell happened? Where are we?" she asked, trying to get the cob webs out of her head.

"Why don't we get inside this house and we can talk there," Billy said. He walked back into the room and waited for everyone before closing the door incase Lord Zedd or Rita show up. "Here's what we can figure out so far. Lord Zedd changed Jonathon into a real life human dummy. He changed us into puppets. Has full control over our voices and our movements. We're inside some kind of Fun House on the Moon Base."

"Wow. All that in just five seconds," Rocky said. "So we're puppets now, uh? That sounds cool."

"Only you Rocky," Aisha laughed. "That can't be all that happened."

"Well, what's the last thing you guys remember and we'll go from there," Tommy said.

"We were in the park when Rito and Tenga's showed up," Adam said, trying real hard to remember. "I remember Lord Zedd turning Jonathon into a monster but that's about it."

"Yeah. We were going to call you guys for help but Jonathon hit us with this weird blue mist," Rocky finished. He looked at his three friends and saw them looking at each other in confusion. "What?"

"You said you were going to call us," Kim said, seeing if that's what she heard.

"Yeah. I was but some Tenga's grabbed us before I could contact you," Adam said. He was wondering what was wrong.

"So you didn't call for help?" Tommy asked, triple checking.

"Right."

"Then it must have been Jonathon."

Now it was time for Adam, Aisha, and Rocky to look at each other in confusion. There seemed to be a part of the puzzle that didn't fit and both parties only know where half of it went.

"We were almost to the festival when you contacted us for help," Tommy said. "When we arrived at the park, we saw Rito with you guys as puppets and then we saw Jonathon. He changed us into puppets and we woke up in this Fun House. When we found each other and went to look for you guys when Jonathon came in and took you with him down to Earth."

"So he was controlling us?" Rocky asked, not liking the idea of someone controlling him.

"That's what we're coming up with," Billy said, looking down at his communicator. If it was true and Jonathon was able to contact them while Adam was in puppet form, then...He shrugged and knew there was only one way to find out. He lifted his wrist to his mouth and hoped this worked. "Zordon, can you hear me?" He was watching everyone and wanted laugh at their faces. Do you know how hard it was to have a serious face while you're a puppet? Not that easy. After about two minutes he was going to try again when he heard Zordon's voice.

"THIS IS ZORDON. WHO IS THIS?"

"What?" Kim asked. "What does he mean?"

Tommy slapped his forehead when he remembered the important thing they were talking about. "Guys. Zordon doesn't know it's us because these are not our voices. I don't think he knows what happened."

"Zordon. This is Billy. We have a small problem here. It seems that Lord Zedd had turned Adam's dummy into a real dummy and in turn, he turned us into puppets."

"He even took our voices," Kim added in, incase Zordon didn't believe him. She waited to hear what Zordon had to say to that but she got nothing. She was worried that he didn't believe them and would leave them on the moon base. She was about to punch the wall when she felt a tingle through her body. Her mouth broke out into a smile when she suddenly found herself being teleported. At lest, she hoped it was Zordon and not Jonathon. She then found herself staring at nothing but a large machine. She lifted her head and saw the person she was hoping to see. Zordon.

"Aiy yi yi yi! What happened Rangers?" To say the lest, Alpha was not ready for this. Sure he heard Billy say they were turned into puppets but he didn't know actual puppet size.

"Lord Zedd and Jonathon is what happened," Aisha said. "Zordon, do you have any idea what happened?"

"YES I DO AISHA. I'M SORRY FOR ASKING WHO YOU WERE BUT I WAS NOT SURE IF IT WAS YOU OR JONATHON. I SAW THE WHOLE THING AND I BELIEVE I KNOW HOW TO CHANGE YOU BACK TO HUMAN AGAIN."

The Rangers turned around and laughed when they had to tilt their heads all the way back just to see the viewing globe. They saw the moment Jonathon took Adam, Aisha, and Rocky back down to Earth and watched as Bulk and Skull changed into puppets like them. Then, Jonathon took them to the park and put on a show, much like Adam did at school, and when he got a crowed, he changed them all into puppets.

"IT APPEARS THAT JONATHON'S SOURCE OF POWER COMES FROM THE WAND."

"That's right," Billy said. "He waved his wand and brought you guys out of his control. Alpha, if we could bring that wand back here, do you think you can reverse it's power and change us back to humans?"

"I think so. There's only one way to find out."

"Hold up," Rocky said. "Now, I don't want to sound selfish, but being a puppet's not bad. We don't have to worry about school, driving, watching the monsters, I mean this might be one of Lord Zedd's best ideas."

Everyone looked at each other and had that look but they didn't know which one was going to tell him. Adam coughed, covering up a smile. "Um...Rocky. I have some bad news for you."

"What's that?"

"Since you're a puppet...You don't have a stomach."

Rocky looked at Adam for moment, trying to comprehend what his best friend was saying. Then his eyes got wide with realization. "Well...What are we standing around here for? Let's get that wand!"
