"Alpha, what's going on here? Where's Zordon?" he asked.
"Billy? What are you doing here? I thought you were still in school?" the robot asked.
"I am. It's lunch right now and I need to ask Zordon something."
"GO AHEAD BILLY. WHAT IS IT YOU NEED TO ASK?" came Zordon's voice. He appeared in his tube and looked down at the Blue Ranger. "THIS MUST BE IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO VISIT DURING SCHOOL HOURS WHEN WE DIDN'T CALL."
Billy took a deep breath and told Zordon about Trini's behavior towards guys and not the girls. "We were wondering if you could do a scan on Trini to see if she's under any spells."
"WE CAN DO THAT. WE SHOULD HAVE THE RESULTS WHEN YOU GET OUT OF SCHOOL. I'M GOING TO WARN YOU AHEAD THAT TRINI WILL FEEL THE SCAN BUT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY."
"I understand. Thank you Zordon." Billy teleported out and landed behind some trees, just out of sight of the students and teachers. He walked across the lawn and spotted his friends sitting at one of the benches and walked towards them. He sat down next to Kim and Aisha as everyone stopped talking and looked at him.
"What did Zordon say?" Tommy asked. When Billy left, they all started talking about how Trini acted around them. It turned out it wasn't just their group. She went off on Skull when the poor guy asked her for a pen. She even went off on a teacher, Mr. Bender, when he told her to check her answer. Which explains why she wasn't sitting with them.
"He's going to do a scan on Trini for us and will have the results after school. The problem is, she'll feel the scan and will demand to know what's going on."
"At lest she'll talk," Zack said. He looked up when he saw her walk towards them, her face red with anger and her fist clenched at her sides. "Speaking of the devil. Looks like she got scanned because here she comes and she looks pissed."
Everyone turned around to see Trini already inches from their bench. They all opened their mouths to explain to her what happened but they were stopped when she grabbed Billy by the shoulders and lifted him off the seat, pinning him to a tree by the throat.
"Why the hell was I scanned, Billy?!" she demanded.
"Trini, something's wrong with you," he gasped out, trying to get air into his lungs. "We're only trying to help."
"I don't, and will never, need help from the likes of you geek!"
"Guys, a little help here would be nice," Billy said, starting to get light headed.
Adam and Rocky, who were already standing, grabbed Trini's arms and pulled her off Billy, watching him gasp for air. Tommy and Jason walked around the bench towards Trini, hoping to calm her down but what happened next no one was ready. She kicked her feet out and landed the kick in Tommy and Jason's chest, sending the two boys to the ground. She planted her feet back on the ground and pushed Adam and Rocky off her, sending them flying each into tree.
"Trini, you need to stop this," Zack said, helping Tommy and Jason to their feet. He saw Billy and Kim help Rocky up and Aisha helping Adam. "This is getting out of hand. We only want to find out what's going on with you."
"Like I said before. I am fine and don't need any of your help."
"Trini, why don't you come with me to the Command Center after school," Kim suggested. "Just the two of us, Aisha can come if you want her too, and we can get this all cleared up. That sound okay?"
Trini thought about this for a moment and then agreed. "Alright. But the guys stay here. We don't need them." She walked away, after saying good bye to Kim and Aisha and headed straight into school.
"Well, one thing's for sure," Rocky said. "I'm never touching her when she's pissed. You guys can do that."
"Think Zordon will find something?" Adam asked, looking in the direction Trini went. He wasn't mad at her. Not in the lest bit. He had this feeling Lord Zedd was behind this so it wasn't her fault. It was his.
"We'll find out after school," Kim said. "Like I told Trini, Aisha and I will take her to the Command Center and if we find anything, I'll give you guys a call."
Everyone nodded in agreement and picked up their bags as the bell rang for their class. The rest of the school day went by slowly for all of them. Mostly the guys. At lest two of them where in the same room as Trini and she never even turned her head to look at them. When the last bell rang, Kim and Aisha pulled Trini along and told the others to head to the Juice Center until she calls, so that's what they did. Billy and Zack were sitting on the belchers by the mats, betting on the team that was going to win. It was Rocky and Tommy against Adam and Jason.
"Okay Billy, who you got?" Zack asked, taking the five his friend handed,
"I'm going to for Rocky and Tommy."
"Good choice. I'm going for them too," Zack said, putting in his own five.
On the mat, Jason looked at Adam, shaking his head and laughed. "I don't know about you, but I feel insulted."
"You're telling me. At lest one of them could bet on us to win," Adam said with a smile. "I guess this means that if we win, we don't have to worry about trying split ten dollars between four people."
Jason nodded and couldn't wait to fight now. He stood in front of Rocky, telling Adam that he should take Tommy since they didn't know each other's moves, and was about to start the fight when all to familiar beeping sound stopped them. Everyone looked at each other and walked over to the back of the Juice Center, away from everyone.
"Go ahead Zordon."
"RANGERS, LORD ZEDD HAD SENT DOWN PUTTIES RIGHT OUTSIDE ANGLE GROVE HIGH SCHOOL. AISHA, KIM, AND TRINI ARE ALREADY THERE BUT THEY WILL NEED HELP."
"We're on our way," Tommy said. He had Adam and Rocky hold onto Jason and Zack's shoulders and they all teleported out of the Juice Center and landed in front of the school. They saw the putties and their friends fighting and ran over to help. When they arrived, Trini stopped what she was doing and put her hands on her hips.
"What the hell are they doing here?" she demanded, moving to the side as a puttie tried to hit her. "We don't need you guys so you can just leave."
"Trini, now is not the time for this," Kim said, doing a cartwheel to the side and punch a puttie in the chest.
The guys just looked at each other and shrugged as more putties started to attack them. They were fighting like they meant business so it was a harder battle than the rangers were used too. When they thought they got the last puttie, Goldar and more putties arrived. Tommy gathered his friends and tried to come up with a plan. With the way the putties are fighting, they wouldn't be able to fight them and Goldar at the same time.
"Why don't you guys fight Goldar and let us fight the putties," Rocky suggested, pointing to Adam, Aisha, and himself.
"That sounds like a good plan," Zack said, slapping Rocky on the shoulder. "I knew you had some brains in that head of yours."
"Time out," Trini said. "We don't need..."
"We don't have any other choice," Kim said, cutting her friend off. She was really getting tired of this and they were in the middle of finding out what was wrong with Trini when the alarms went off. "Adam, Aisha, and Rocky are helping us and that's final."
Trini just glared at the two boys but didn't say anything else.
"Then it's settled," said Tommy. "You three go ahead. We'll be right behind you. You guys ready to finish this?"
"Lets do it."
"It's Morphin Time!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-Tooth-Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
"Tigerzord!"
"Okay Goldar, it's time to finish this once and for all," Tommy said. He ran at Goldar and attempted to do a round house kick but his attack was blocked by Goldar's sword. He landed on the ground as Trini jumped over him, delivering a punch to his chest and sending Goldar to the ground. He stood up and looked at his friend and nodded. "Thanks Trini."
"Don't thank me," she shot back. "I only did that because I got tired of watching you make a fool of yourself." With that she ran towards Goldar again and started attacking him, ignoring her friends as they tried to get her to take a break and let them have a shot. She wanted to prove to Zordon that they didn't need the guys on the team. That they only got in the way. She felt Goldar's sword collide with her chest and that sent her to the ground at his feet. She tried to get up but she felt a foot press on her back, keeping her on the ground.
"As much as I love watching you make a fool of your friends, I must destroy you," Goldar laughed. He brought his sword above his head and then brought it down on Trini full force but the sword never made contact. The sword was arms length when he was blasted from all sides. He released the Yellow Ranger but didn't fall.
"Why did you step in?!" Trini demanded as she stood up. "I didn't need your help!"
Jason just shook his head, knowing it was useless to argue with his friend while she was acting like this. He hoped Zordon found out and had way to get their Trini back to her original self. He ran pass her and jumped kicked Goldar in the side when he heard a new laugh come from behind them. He turned around to see another monster standing before them, looking from their fight and the fight his friends were in with the putties.
"Anti-Cupid," Goldar growled. "What are you doing here?"
"Lady Rita and Lord Zedd got tired of you playing around and sent me to do the job," the monster laughed. He saw the Yellow Ranger and bowed to her. "Hello, Yellow Ranger. I told you I could help you with your problems. Now aren't you glad I did?"
Everyone looked at Trini, who remained quiet, as questions raced threw there head. Was this monster the reason why their friend was acting the way she was? If so, what the hell is it? Just as the monster arrived, two minutes later, twenty more putties arrived as well. Tommy looked over to where his three friends were fighting the putties and noticed they were now surrounded. Just from the beginning of the fight there was at lest fifteen but now, there was a little over twenty to thirty. He went to move to help his friends when Goldar attacked him while Anti-Cupid walked over the three teens.
"Guys, this was a trap!" he yelled. "We need to split up and help Adam, Aisha, and Rocky."
"They don't need our help," Trini said, ducking under Goldar's arm.
"Yes they do," Kim said. "All those putties are to much. Even for them." She grabbed Trini and Zack by the arm, telling the others to continue to fight Goldar, and dragged her friends over to where Adam, Aisha, and Rocky were. She just hoped they would be able to help them in time.
