"We'll be right there, Alpha," Tommy said, and the Rangers left, Jason paying for his food before he joined the others, and once they were out of earshot and eyesight, teleported to the Command Center.

"You have the antidote?" Tommy asked urgently.

"Yes, but we're going to have to force him to drink it which means I'm going to need a few of you to hold him down," Alpha replied as he summoned the medical chair. The force field was removed Adam, Tommy, Jason, and Zack grabbed Rocky and forced him to lie on the chair.

"Easy, Rocky. We're gonna fix you up," Tommy soothed.

"It's okay, Brachio, we got you," Adam continued in the same tone. Rocky hissed and Alpha took the opportunity to pour the potion down his throat. The Ranger tried to spit it out, but Adam forced his mouth shut as Jason stroked his friend's throat to make the antidote go down easier. Then, he went limp.

"ROCKY!" Aisha screamed and tried to get to him only to have Trini and Kimberly stop her.

"Stega, wait. Let's make sure it took effect," Kimberly said. Rocky moaned.

"Oh, man. What the heck hit me?" he asked, as he was slowly helped up. Man, have I got a headache, he thought to himself. What had happened?

"You're okay, Rocko. Just take things slowly," Tommy told him.

"Again, what hit me?" Rocky wondered.

"The Vampirus monster bit you," Jason answered.

"Did I-are any of you-" Rocky stammered. Oh, man. If I bit Aisha, Adam, or any of the others, I'll never forgive myself, he thought to himself.

"We're all okay," Adam assured, seeing the look. Seeing that Rocky was back to normal, Trini and Kimberly let go of Aisha who rushed to Rocky and wrapped him in a hug.

"Oh, I was so worried!" she cried.

"Hey, 'Ish. I'm all right," he assured, returning the embrace. "You know I'd never leave you."

"Yeah, it'll take a lot more than a stupid monster to break up the Three Ninjas," Adam added, hugging them both. Aisha laughed.

"Wow. There's a nickname I haven't heard in ages," she said.

"Three Ninjas?" the others asked.

"Yeah, we each got Kung Fu and ninja training, and we work well as a team, so-" Aisha began.

"The Three Ninjas," the others finished with her.

"Makes sense," Jason said.

"So, Jase, when are you, Bulk, and Skull going to hear about the AGJPD?" Rocky wondered.

"Probably not for a while and-" his sentence trailed off as one of their group began to sway.

"Kim, are you all right?" he questioned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just feel really weird all of a sudden," she answered, as Billy and Trini helped her to sit on the medical chair.

"Alpha, run a diagnostic on Kimberly. Vampirus has obviously attacked her in some way that we were not previously aware of," Zordon instructed.

"Oh, that won't be necessary," Kimberly said before Alpha could respond.

"Kim, we need to-" Jason's response was cut off as she lunged at him. With a grunt, he caught her, and then carefully flipped her over his shoulders. She scrambled to her feet. Jason did the same, getting into a defensive stance.

"KIM!" Tommy screamed. She hissed, eyes blazing with red fury. Her nails had elongated and her face had contorted to give her a menacing appearance.

"Oh, man. She's been turned as well," Billy realized. The others tensed as the Pink Ranger hissed. Then, they began to approach her. She snarled, and then teleported herself out.

"KIM!" Tommy screamed again.
