A/N: Okay, Mermaids show up in this chapter, which means you get to meet my OC Lorelei, and Billy and Kim learn that Zordon is a Wizard, from another planet.

Foster Mermaid Rangers Chapter Five:

Zordon knew something was wrong the moment Kim and Billy didn't immediately responded to his call to dinner, a quick search around the cabin and it's grounds confirmed his first impression, Kim and Billy were nowhere in sight.

He hurried into the cabin, "Go ahead and eat while it's warm children," he told Trini and the remaining boys before grabbing the phone and calling the forest ranger station, "Hi this is Mr. Zordon Ranger, I'm up at my cabin by Brenda Creek, two six year olds are missing. A boy and a girl." He gave the ranger all the information that he could and then said, "I don't know if I can help with the search, I have three other foster children to watch. Maybe after I put them to bed."

Several Forest Rangers and Fish and Game Wardens as well as a search and rescue team soon was spreading out around the cabin searching for Billy and Kim while Zordon tried to encourage the children to go to bed.

"Don't worry," he assured them, "as soon as you are in bed, I'll go look for them myself."

After he was certain that Zack was asleep, he knew that Trini and Jason would stay in the cabin when he told them too and Zack would be the one to talk them into looking for the missing children themselves, he grabbed his jacket and headed out the door.

The moon was full and was the only light the Eltarian needed. He looked around before chanting, "Galbacho Satello Telly."

Around him footprints started to glow different colors, all of them muddled together, each different set a different color, this wasn't going to work, he'll have to narrow it down, "Galbacho Satello Antesa Telly," He shouted, and most of the muddled footsteps faded away and disappeared. Now there were six different colored footprints. He looked around, the gold one were his own, the red were Jason's, the yellow Trini, and the black Zack. So the Pink and Blue had to be Billy and Kim's. They headed into the woods.

...

"Billy where are you going," Kim demanded, it was now completely dark except for the full moon, and Kim was getting cold and she was hungry and she just wanted to go home, and while she wasn't sure where home was she knew that it wasn't up the rocky outcrop that Billy was climbing.

"Perhaps we can spot the recreational home from up here," Billy stated as he climbed up the steep incline.

"You mean the Cabin?" Kim asked as she followed him up the slope.

"Affirmative," Billy said before suddenly disappearing.

Kim's eyes grew round and she started to cry, what had happened to Billy?

"Help!" A young, faint shout called up from the ground, "I can't swim!"

Kim slowly crept towards where Billy had disappeared, a hole was in the rocks. she peered down it to see Billy floundering in the water below.

"Don't just loiter, assist me, I implore you, Help!"

Kim slowly turned around and felt with her foot to find foot holds and then hand holds. She carefully climbed down the hole to a rocky ledge surrounding the pool of water. "Come on," she shouted, "Grab my hand and I'll pull you out!"

Billy gratefully grabbed hold, but even though he was just a little boy, Kim was just a little girl and the ground was quite wet and slippery so instead of pulling Billy out of the water, Kim ended up being pulled into the water.

Just then a giggle came behind them, "You're in trouble now, in the mermaid pool, on a full moon, better get out quick, before the full moon hits."

Kim and Billy slowly turned around in the water, a girl younger than them with wearing a gold sleeveless top was behind them, "Who are you?" Kim asked in confusion.

"Name's Lorelei, but everyone calls me Lori," she said, pushing a damp strand of wet red hair out of her face, "We better get you out before the moon hits."

With that she disappeared underneath the water and reappeared next to Billy and Kim, "Let's try this again, but we have to hurry. If you're still in when the moon hits, your lives will never be the same."

"So you say," Billy said, before going under briefly, long enough to see something he shouldn't have, Lori had a tail instead of legs, "You're a Mermaid!" He stuttered once Lori helped make sure that he was above the water still.

"Yes," she snapped, "And you'll become one too if you don't get out now."

As Kim and Lori tried to heave Billy out of the water, hard for them because they were so small, the full moon drifted over the pool.

"Too late," Lori gasped, dropping Billy into the water as it started to bubble and churn.

"This is Scientifically impossible," Billy sputtered.

Then the moon moved on and the water stilled.

...

Zordon came to a spot where the footsteps were muddled, the kids had walked this area several times, he focused, the ones headed to the right were brighter and therefore fresher. He headed all the way to the edge of a rocky outcrop, by now the footprints were vibrating when he stepped on them, he was close. He hurried up to where the footprints suddenly disappeared. "Kimberly! William!" he shouted.

Down in the mermaid pool Lori gasped and whispered, "Beware of water," and then dove under the water as Zordon's voice called downwards.

"Down here!" Kim shouted.

"Zordon!" Billy cried out.

Zordon carefully jumped down into the hole and landed on the ledge, he looked at the water and up at the full moon then said, "Cata Bachoanne," To himself before stepping to the edge, "Well the three of you look like you could use some drying off, tell your friend she can come up, I won't hurt her."

Billy was impressed, "You know about Lori?"

"I Sense the Presence of a young girl with a great deal of power," Zordon stated.

"But only a Wizard can Sense someone's Presence," Kim argued.

"I am a wizard," Zordon admitted, "From the planet Eltar, let's get the three of you out and dry off and we'll head home." With that he lifted first Billy and then Kim and then Lori, who had peeked her head out of the water when she heard that he was a wizard and could sense her.

When the two little kids and the little mermaid stood dripping beside him he said, "Brenda-la Telly."

A warm breeze enveloped the three children and when it stopped all three of them weren't only completely dry but presently warm. Billy gasped at Lori though when he saw her wearing a t shirt and a pair of blue jeans shorts, "What happened to your tail?"

"I only have it while I'm wet," Lori said, rolling her eyes like it was common knowledge.

"And now you and Kim will gain tails when you get wet," Zordon informed the two newly made mermaids, "It takes twelve hours for the magic to alter your DNA."

"Oh," Kim stated.

Zordon carefully lifted first Kim and then Billy up through the entrance, then he turned to Lori, "I'll carry you, keep your head buried into my neck so you don't get Moon Madness."

Soon he was up out of the cave with Lori in his arms, her face buried in his neck.

"What's moon madness?" Billy asked.

"It's a conditions mermaids get from looking at a full moon or it's reflection," Zordon explained, "Makes them go crazy and they have no idea what they did after the moon sets once you are older you will learn how to fight and avoid the moon and still go out."

...

Billy and Kim are mermaids, what's the story behind Lori, now that they know that Zordon is a Alien Wizard what will they do. Please make my day and review.
