Thanks for all the reviews! You're great!

Kim's POV:
"Oh no," she thought, "They got me!"
In one second she realized her situation:
They were surrounding her. Two were in front of her, and one on each side of her.
And she? She was standing with the back to her car, by now.
So what were her possibilities?
She couldn't get fast enough inside the car.
Then there was no one around who could help her.
Running away wouldn't help, too.
So? Fighting was the only remaining possibility.
Suddenly her little speech about how good she could defend herself sounded ridiculous. Why did she tell Ernie that?
Ah yes, because she had been a ranger.
Because she could handle such things very well in the past.
Because she had known the weakest points of the putties.
But these things? Neither did they look like putties, nor could she see a Z on their chest.
And what about all that was also fitting badly?
Oh yes, the part realizing, she had been a ranger in the past.
But now? Now she was only a civilian with no special power.
A civilian with one burning question on her mind: "What exactly am I going to do now?"

Cat's POV:
After the last words had sounded, Tommy had begun fighting them.
It was the most horrible thing that could have happened.
They weren't fighting a monster, but they had to fight their best friend!
"Tommy, no! You have to remember!" Cat tried it again, as she blocked a few attacks of the red Zeo Ranger and got finally knocked down.
"Oh, I remember where you belong – right where you are: on the floor!" He only answered and Cat raised her arm in order to block an attack, that didn't happen.
As she got a hold of the scene, she saw, that Tanya and Adam were each holding one of Tommy's hands. Rocky, who was standing in front of Tommy, tried to speak to him:
"Tommy, we are your friends! We are not evil! Stop fighting us, please!"
"I will stop fighting you, when I have succeeded and you will be nothing else, than history!" Tommy exclaimed in a cold voice and kicked Rocky back before he somersaulted and got rid of Tanya and Adam.
Then Jason had gotten a hold on Tommy and caught one of his arms, as he had wanted to punch him: "Tommy, you and me, we were there right from the beginning! Before you were good, you had been under an evil spell that I could manage to break with the team!"
"No!" Tommy screamed and stumbled a step back, clutching his head. Memories began to rush through his head:
The dragon dagger, destroyed on the floor. Five other people, one of them the gold ranger, but in red clothes, shaking hands and welcoming him into a team…How could this be? Who were those people?
Then the scene changed, showing colored rangers destroying buildings and hurting people.
Yes, that was the image that was right.
As he looked up, he heard, what the blue ranger told the gold one:
"Jason, I think it worked! We have to get his memories back!"
"You're right! We have to keep him remembering more and more," the green one added.
"It won't work! You can't fool me! I know what you are: The pure evil! And your time has come to an end!" Tommy shouted now and was angry about the fact, that they had been able to irritate him for a moment.
And that being shouted out loud, he ran towards them and began fighting them once again.
…..
In the Command Centre:
"Ayayay Zordon! There are coqs all over the City!"
"Alpha, don't worry. I know the situation is bad, but the rangers had no other choice, than to help Tommy."
"I know Zordon! But what can we do?"
"We have to stay calm and hope that no one gets hurt. We have to concentrate on finding a way home for the rangers."
"Zordon's right, Alpha," added Billy. He wasn't happy about the situation and his first impulse had been to jump into action and fight the coqs. But as he wasn't a ranger any more, it was too dangerous going there on his own. But once a ranger…
"Zordon, I can teleport there and fight them. As long as there aren't too many, I can handle them." Billy suddenly spoke up as he had made his decision.
"No Billy. I understand your intention and it's very noble from you. But we need you here. The Rangers and the world need you here. Your knowledge is the best help for getting the Rangers back."
"Yes I know, it's just," Billy hesitated.
"Billy, you have to understand, that we need to find a way to get the rangers back. You and Alpha are the only ones who can do this. You have to combine your knowledge and find the solution. I know you can. The fate of the rangers… and of the world lay in your hands, Billy." Zordon spoke now, understanding the intentions of his once blue ranger very well.
"You're right, Zordon," Billy agreed after thinking for a few seconds. Then he got an idea and told it Alpha: "I need you to teleport me to my house. I think I may have a few things there, that'll help the scanners to get a hold of the rangers and bring them back save. If we add them to our systems, we might have a chance, to get them back."
With that he was teleported out and Alpha remained there with Zordon.
"Ayayay! I hope he is right!"

Kim's POV:
Still thinking, if she had overseen a possibility, the robot-things made the decision for her.
"Let's attack her." One of them said with a monotone, metallic voice.
And then they began fighting her.
As the first one tried to punch her, she immediately dropped her bag and keys and blocked the attack.
Her instincts kicked in, as if she had never stopped fighting.
She then added a kick to the chest of this strange being and sent it stumbling a few steps back.
On seeing, she was able to hold them back, she got more self-confident and it was like energy floating through her body. Suddenly she felt as if she could do anything and she had no doubts about succeeding.
And she realized another thing:
She had been right about the fact, that she had no special power. But she still had power and combined with her athletic skills she would be able to win over them!
Also another feeling kicked in.
It was like she had been pulled to this place to do this one thing – fighting these strange robot-like beings.
And that was the moment she realized, that her reason being here had something to do with these creatures.
A light smile came to her face, as she began whirling around and took on these robot-things.
"Oh yeah, I'm so in the game!" She thought, feeling her old strength again.
She blocked the punches of one of them and she felt, that another one was coming from behind her. She immediately made a balancing act and ducked away under the punch that was now hitting the creature that had been behind her. But the creature behind her had also wanted to punch her, so it hit the other one instead of her and both of these beings fell to the ground.
"Two down, and two to go," Kim thought, as she got up from the ground and protected herself against the remaining two.
She somersaulted high into the air, landing behind one of them and kicked him with all the strength she had. It fell against the other one and both of them hit the ground.
Seeing this, Kim ran to her car, picked up her bag and keys and hoped she could open the door fast enough and get away from these robots.
She didn't know if she could hold them off for forever or even destroy them. But she was serious about taking this chance to get away, before they were ready to fight her again.
"Yes!" she exclaimed, as the car door opened and she got in. She started the engine and wasted no time for fastening her seat belt, but pressed down the gas!
As she looked in her rear view mirror and saw, that these creatures were standing there, not following her, she relaxed a bit and allowed herself to now fasten the seat belts and get down from the gas.
….
With Bulk and Skull:
Bulk and Skull were now waiting for their big attack. They had planned it with this strange looking man.
The great warriors, they were – well, that's what they had told the man – they had been asked to help him with his plan to escape. Not only their escape, but the escape for all the prisoners here at this strange place.
"Bulk, why are we hiding here?" Skull wanted to know.
"Skull, we told him we were warriors. So, we have to do this."
"I'm afraid, Bulk." Skull answered.
"Yes, but we can't let that get in our way. We have to be brave! And you heard, what he told us: The rangers are also prisoners here. So if we save them, we will be real heroes!"
"Real heroes!" Skull repeated and his face seemed to get a dreaming look.
"Yeah, real heroes – legends!" Bulk added, "we only have to keep them distracted, so that he can destroy the force field!"
"Only distracting them? Are you crazy?" Skull suddenly screamed, remembering the strange robots that seemed to know no fear.
"Keep quiet! Yes, only distracting them. Then we will be known as legends!" Bulk added and Skull had calmed down.
"Yes, legends!" That sounded good to Skull and he couldn't wait to tell people about his actions as hero.
"Ok, here they are coming. We have to surprise them!" Bulk whispered and hoped that they knew what they were doing. He just hoped it wouldn't end like a lot of other stupid things they did seemed to end.
…
Kim's POV:
Thankful, that she had gotten away safely, she thought about what had happened.
Well these things had seriously some good moves. She still could feel their strength, as she had blocked their attacks.
She was sure about the fact, that she would have bruises by tomorrow.
But what had happened?
Ernie had told her that the rangers haven't appeared – maybe the red ranger was missing – and she had been attacked.
Getting attacked in Angel Grove wasn't something "strange", but normally the rangers would come to the rescue.
So there was definitely something very strange going on. Something, that had to be the reason, for her being back in her old town.
And she had no doubt about the place, she needed to go now.
It was unknown to everyone, well, not for some special people.
It was hidden in the mountains and she would soon have to climb them, as there would be no paths for her car.
Sighing, she continued driving in that special direction and was sure, with entering the city, she had entered a part of her past and that now everything would be catching up.
Catching her up and involving her into the game.
A game, whose rules she didn't know yet.
….
So, can you guys think of the place she is heading to?
If not, just wait for the next chapters :-)
How will it go on, and will the rangers be able to save Tommy?
Please review!
