DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but Meredith and anything you wouldn't see on TV and this plot.

"You, purple ranger, are going to be my son's princess. With you at my son's side we will be able to get your brother over to our side to lead our empire," he said.

"I don't think so, Mondo. Tommy would never come over to your side. I will never come over to your side. Now, do us all a favor and put me back where you found me. If not, well you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into," I said, hoping I projected more confidence than I felt. No one knew where I was and this wasn't going to be easy to get out of alone.

"Tommy, have you seen, Mer," Jason asked Tommy. He'd waited for her at the lake and had come to the Juice Bar to see if she'd gotten sidetracked, which was very me.

"No, man, she said she was meeting you at the lake and then she left. Didn't she show," he asked.

Jason shook his head. "I tried the communicator, but I'm getting all this static. Do you think something has happened to her," he asked Tommy.

"Let's go talk to Zordon and Alpha. We should tell the others so they can teleport and help with Meredith," Tommy said.

He and Jason teleported and seconds later, the rest of the team was in the Power Chamber.

"What's going on, Tommy," Adam asked.

"Meredith's missing," Tommy said.

"No," Rocky whispered. No one heard this but Tommy who was standing right next to him. He took that as a good sign that Rocky still cared about me.

"Have you got any location on her, Billy," Rocky asked, keeping his desperation out of his voice. To anyone else, Rocky looked like a calm ranger, but Adam and Tommy could tell he was freaking out.

"She's being held by King Mondo. He hopes to use her to get Tommy to be their King. With Meredith in their grasp, they think he'll give in to save her life," Billy said.

"Can we go in and save her," Adam asked.

"I'm working on opening a portal to her, but it will take some time. I'm able to get the viewing screen to show what's happening," he said.

The team focused on the screen and watched as King Mondo tormented me.

"Purple Ranger, you must know by now that you're true love is in love with another. Why stay where you are not wanted," he said.

"Just because I'm not with Rocky doesn't mean that I don't love him and he doesn't love me. I know he does. I'll wait in this chair, if I have to, for him to realize that. Nothing you can say is going to make me take you up on your offer," I said.

Everyone in the Power Chamber looked at Rocky. Hearing my declaration not only shocked him, but confirmed what Jason already knew. I was in love in Rocky. That wasn't going to change.

Jason went over to Rocky. "She doesn't want to be with me. She wants you. I thought that our past would make it easier for us to be together again, but you took her heart. I know that now and I'm sorry if I did anything to cause you to have doubts. I know Meredith wouldn't have caused you to doubt her," Jason said.

Rocky took Jason's outstretched hand and shook it. "I do still love her, bro. I just thought she still loved you," Rocky said.

"Nope, it's you. It was you before I ever left, but I don't think she realized it," Jason said.

Rocky smiled at that revelation and looked back at the screen. "Billy, can we get to her now," he asked.

"I can get one of you in there," Billy said.

Tommy stepped forward, "Let's get my sister," he said.

"I don't think Tommy should go," Kimberly said.

Tommy looked at Kimberly, "What are you talking about," he asked her.

"You're the one Mondo wants. You can't just go waltzing in there and get Mer. He wants that to happen. You know that. Rocky or Adam should go. We can't risk him taking Jason and getting the gold powers. Besides, you and Jason have had your fair share of evil from the dark dimension. Let the others save Meredith," she said.

"MY CRANE IS CORRECT. TOMMY CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO GO INTO MONDO'S KINGDOM. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS TO HAVE HAPPEN. ROCKY SHOULD SAVE THE SWAN AND PROVE HE IS HER TRUE LOVE," Zordon said.

Rocky stepped forward, "Let's go, Billy," he said.

Billy opened the portal and Rocky morphed and stepped into the opened portal. ***Will Rocky save the day? Stay glued to your screen.*** -mereditholiver
