Chapter 7 Billy Gone Bad
An evil laugh came from Rita's mouth as she walked into the throne room from her bedroom.
"I have the perfect way to get rid of Billy," Rita said.
Glodar walked outside to where Rita was looking through her telescope. She was trying to take the Power Ranger's down, one by one.
"What is your plan, my queen," Goldar asked.
She looked over at him and gave him an evil smile.
"I'll make an evil Billy to steal all of the Ranger's power morphers and communicators. They will be powerless to stop me," Rita laughed.
"Excellent my queen. With Billy gone, they're useless," Goldar said.
"Now, to put my plan into motion," Rita replied. "Finster!"
"Yes, my queen," he asked.
"I need you to mold me an evil Billy," Rita said.
Finster nodded.
"I'll see what I can do," he said.
Rita and Goldar made there way back into the throne room as Finster walked back into the back room.
"I'll gather the putties to begin the attack," Goldar told her.
"Good idea," Rita said.
With that, Goldar disappeared with about a couple dozen putties.

The six Rangers were at the park, walking across the playground. It had actually been a pretty decent day considering the fact it was raining all day yesterday.
"What a beautiful day," Kim said, looking up at the blue sky.
"Sure is," Tommy smiled.
Kim looked over at him and grinned. The sexual tension was definitely there.
"Oh boy, you're so cute," Kim said to herself.
"Why doesn't Tommy just ask her out already," Zack whispered to Jason.
"Give it time bro," Jason laughed. "It'll happen in time. I've already left her that message."
"I guess," Zack sighed.
Tommy looked down at his project and sighed.
"I hope this vase for my project will work," he said.
"That thing's a vase," Zack joked.
"Come on bro, give me a break," Tommy said. "I never took art at my old high school."
"I'm just giving you shit," Zack laughed. "I'm not that good in art either."
Suddenly, putties appeared all around them.
"Not you clay heads," Jason moaned.
They put down their bags and began fighting.
"Hey putty, you forgot to tie your shoes," Tommy said.
He kicked the putty to the ground and laughed.
"Dumb ass. I can't believe he fell for that," Tommy laughed.
"Good one bro," Jason said. "Don't they know they don't have shoes?"
"Go back to Rita," Trini yelled, sending a putty flying into a tree.
Billy ducked as a putty ran towards him.
"That's not appropriate. Trying to hit a guy with glasses, huh," he asked.
"Hey," Jason said, "pick on someone else, would ya? You're games are getting boring."
"Putties, over here," Kim yelled.
Three of them came running after her. Her eyes grew, and she began running.
"Shit! Real bright there Kim," she said.
She jumped up and landed on a putty, causing it to hit a tree. The others soon followed.
"Three for one, not bad," Kim laughed.
"Check this out," Zack said, beginning to do some of his hip hop moves.
The putties became dizzy and fell on top of each other.
"What can I say? Some got it, and some don't," Zack said.
While fighting, five putties caught Billy off guard.
"Let me go," Billy yelled.
The putties disappeared with him without any one knowing.

Billy showed up on the ground of one of Rita's dark dimensions. He got up and adjusted his glasses.
"Whoa, where am I," Billy asked, taking a look around at the empty room.
Goldar came walking in.
"Hello there, Billy," he said.
Billy jumped into his fighting stance.
"Goldar, what do you want with me," he asked.
"You're going to help Rita steal your friend's power morphers and their communicators," he said.
"And what makes you think I'm going to do comply with you, Goldar," Billy asked, crossing his arms. "You have another thing coming if you think I'll ever betray my friends."
"We have our ways, Blue Ranger," he said as the evil Billy came walking out of a dark corner.
As Billy reached for his morpher, he found it was not there.
"What," he gasped.
Billy could do nothing but stare at himself.
"Looking for this, Blue Ranger," the evil Billy asked, holding up the communicator and morpher.
"Hand it to me," Billy yelled.
"Don't think so," the evil Billy laughed.
"Now go, Billy, and get what I told you to get," Goldar said.
"Yes, Lord Goldar," he nodded.
"I won't let you get away with this, Goldar," Billy said.
"There is nothing you can do," he laughed.
"We'll see about that," Billy said to himself.

Back at the park, the other five Rangers were still fighting the putties.
"Hey you guys, where's Billy," Kim asked, taking a deep breath.
"Hold on you guys," the evil Billy yelled.
He kicked down a putty that was attacking Jason. Jason just looked at the guy who he thought was Billy.
"Billy," he asked, confused, "I haven't taught you that move yet."
"Um, yeah, it just sort of just happened," he said.
"Where have you been, Billy," Trini asked, taking him in her arms. "You had me so scared."
He allowed her to embrace him, but only for a few seconds. There was still a job that needed to get done.
"You noticed that I was gone," the evil Billy asked.
"We thought putties had you backed into a corner there for a while," Kim said.
"Yeah, you can say that's what happened. Um, listen, do you mine me having your communicators and morphers," the evil Billy asked.
"Why do you need them, Billy," Zack wondered, handing him his communicator.
"I need to check some things out on them, that's all," he said.
"If you say so," Trini sighed.
She never doubted anything he did. There was reason to.
"Do you need any help with fixing the problem," Trini asked.
"No," the evil Billy rejected sharply.
"I think I'll keep my communicator, Billy," Jason said, holding on to it. "Just in case."
"Whatever," he replied, turning around.
Jason gave Billy a baffled look as he turned from him. There was something he did not like about Billy taking the communicators and morphers from them.
"Zordon, come in," he whispered into his communicator.
"Yes, Jason," he asked.
"Um, is there anything wrong with the communicators or morphers," he wondered.
"No, there are no malfunctions," Zordon told him.
"Weird," Jason said, looking back to make sure Billy wasn't listening, "Billy just asked for them."
"Keep a close eye on him, Jason," Zordon replied.
"You got it," he promised.

Back at Rita's, Billy was watching everything. He could not believe that no one suspected anything.
"Man," Billy sighed, turning away and throwing his hands in his sandy blonde hair, "I got to find a way out of here and save them before it's too late."
"You'll never get out of here," Rita said, walking in. "As we speak, you have your friends things."
"Wh… what are you going to do with them," Billy asked timidly.
"Take a wild guess. You are the smart one of the bunch," Rita laughed.
"I have a few, and all of them end up in you failing," Billy said.
Billy turned from her. He turned his attention back to watching his evil self.
"You foolish boy, you have no clue," Rita laughed.
"No, I may not, but it'll be ruined I'm sure. There just has to be a way out of here," Billy said.
"Forget it. There's no need to be looking around, because there's no way out," Rita replied.
"I'll find one, and you won't be able to get away with your plan," Billy said.
"I think I already have," Rita laughed.
Rita left Billy alone with a haunting laugh.

At the Youth Center, everyone was wondering what Billy was up to. Ever since the attack he hadn't been the same. Instead of sitting with them, he was at the gym side of the Youth Center working out.
"Billy's acting different," Kim said.
She put her pencil in her mouth and looked down at a paper.
"Way different," Trini sighed.
Trini had never seen him like this before.
"What happened to him at the park today," Zack asked.
"I wonder what's up with him," Tommy said.
Jason just sat there, not saying a word.
"You okay, Jase," Zack asked.
"Jason…" Kim said.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine," he replied.
He took a look at Billy, who was working out, which wasn't normal for the science wiz, and began looking back towards the group.
"Hey, Kim… Tommy," Jason began.
"Yeah, Jase," Tommy asked.
"Let's go to the park and see if Billy does anything… non Billy," he suggested.
Kim and Tommy looked over at ach other and nodded.
"Sounds good," Kim said.
"Hey, Billy," Tommy called, getting up, "can you come here for just a second?"
"What is it," he asked, walking beside the table.
"Jason, Kim, and I found something at the park today that we think you should see," Tommy said.
"Fine, let's go, and make it quick," the evil Billy commanded.
Billy's annoyed voice was a clear sign that something was wrong. Jason turned to the others.
"Don't worry," he said, "we'll be back before you know it.'
"Yeah, it's just a little something," Kim added.
"Good luck," Zack whispered.
Trini gave them two thumbs up before they turned to leave.
"Something's definitely fishy," she said after they left.
Zack nodded in agreement.
"They just got to figure out what it is," he sighed.

Billy was still trapped in Rita's dark dimension. When Goldar walked in, he noticed the screen that Billy was keeping an eye on.
"And what do we have here," he laughed.
Billy was startled by his voice.
"Oh great, you're back," he sighed.
"It seems that you, Tommy, Kimberly, and Jason are on your way to the park," Goldar said.
The Blue Ranger rolled his eyes. Did Goldar think he was blind or something? He was seeing the same thing he was,
"Come on guys," Billy said, almost yelling. "You have to know that that's not me."
"It seems that the three of them have no real reason to believe that that's not you,' Goldar said.
Billy was really getting tired of his words.
"Wait a minute," he said to himself, looking at Jason's arm. "Jason still has his communicator on. That means that he has to know that that's not me. He just has to. If he doesn't, then why does he still have it on?"
Billy played it cool, not letting Goldar know that Jason knew. Well, that hopefully knew he knew anyway.
"So, was there a particular reason you bestowed me with your grace," Billy smarted off.
Goldar walked off without saying anything.

Finally, Kim, Tommy, Jason, and the evil Billy got to the park.
"Alright, what is it that you wanted me to see," the evil Billy asked.
"Just keep looking, Billy," Kim said. "It should be here somewhere."
When he was not looking at them, Jason told Kim and Tommy what Zordon told him earlier.
"We got to get our morphers," Tommy whispered.
As the three carefully got their morphers, putties appeared. When that happened, they all dropped them.
"You guys, my morpher," Kim yelled as two putties grabbed her arms, pulling her back.
The putties had Jason and Tommy too.
"I can't reach mine either," Tommy yelled.
"Man, let go of me you creeps," Jason said, out of breath from trying to get the putties off of him.
Kim gave a horrified look at Tommy.
"What are we going to do," she cried.
"Have no clue," he said.
"You silly Rangers," the evil Billy laughed as he walked towards the three teens that were being held down.
He bent down to pick up the morphers.
"You shouldn't have done that," he finished.
"Billy, no," Jason yelled.

Watching everything, the real Billy was trying to find a way out any way he could.
"Don't worry you guys, help's on the way… soon, I hope," Billy prayed.
Billy placed his hand underneath his chin.
"Maybe if I disconnect these two wires, I should be able to interfere with…"
The wires exploded, causing Billy to fly into the wall.
"Damn it. Never thought about that," he moaned.
Billy put his glasses back on and smiled. He could not believe he had just said what he did.
"Alright, it worked! I better get out of here before monkey breath comes looking for me," he said.
He moaned, remembering he did not have any way out. Out of nowhere, he found himself in the park.
"Thanks Alpha," Billy said.
That was the only way he would have been able to get out of Rita's dark dimension.
"Whoa," Billy whispered, stopping in back of the evil Billy.
Not knowing Billy was behind him, the evil Billy still was facing Kim, Tommy, and Jason, who kept quiet after seeing him appear.
"What are smiling about, Pinky," he evil Billy asked.
"Oh, nothing," Kim said.
Billy quickly grabbed his morpher.
"I see you found a way out after all," his evil counter part laughed.
"It's time for you to go home," Billy said.
"What," he asked.
Jason gave a little smirk. The shyness in Billy was fading away. Becoming a Power Ranger had really changed him.
"It's morphin time," Billy yelled.
Billy transformed into the Blue Ranger and took out his power blaster.
"No," the evil Billy yelled.
As the evil Billy disappeared, so did the putties.
"You guys alright," Billy asked, running towards Kim, Tommy, and Jason.
"Yeah," Tommy said, helping Kim up from the ground.
"It's good to have the real Billy back," Kim smiled, hugging him.

They went back to the Youth Center laughing. Trini and Zack looked at each and smiled.
"So," Trini said, getting up out of her seat, "that wasn't the real Billy?"
"Where did Rita have you," Zack asked.
"She had me in one of her dark dimensions," Billy said.
Everyone sat back down after Trini hugged Billy.
"Why did Rita want all of our things," Kim asked, really confused.
"If she would have had that," Tommy said as Kim turned his way, "we would have no powers right now whatsoever."
Billy got in to his backpack and carefully passed out their morphers and communicators.
"Or worse," Jason said as he received his morpher and communicator, "she could have made a team of evil Rangers to destroy us when we're powerless."
"I'm glad that's not going to have happen anytime soon," Kim sighed
"Um, it kind of already did," Zack laughed.
Billy looked down and took a deep breath. He still could not believe what had happened to him.
"I feel so awful," Billy said. "I almost destroyed the Power Rangers, my teammates, and my friends."
"Oh, Billy, no you didn't," Trini told him, throwing her arm around him, trying to comfort him. "It wasn't you."
She hated when he put himself down like that.
"Still, I feel like it was," Billy sighed.
"We forgive you," Jason smiled. "You got to know that."
"Hey," Kim said, "but you also saved Jason, Tommy, and myself."
"That's right man," Zack said.
Then, he rewound himself.
"Wait, you did," Zack asked.
"Yes," Jason laughed. "Billy, there's no reason to put yourself down. What you need is a smoothie."
Jason turned to face the counter.
"Hey, Ernie, can you get six smoothies over here," he asked.
"Sure thing, Jason," he replied. "I'll have Emily bring them right out."
"That should cheer you up," Trini smiled.
"Were you talking about Jason or Billy," Zack asked.
"Billy," Trini laughed.
"I hope so," Billy sighed. "After today, I don't know what to do."
"It'll be alright, Billy," Kim smiled.
"Here are your drinks guys," Emily said.
"Thanks," Jason smiled.
"You're welcome," Emily said.
Jason didn't stop looking at her until she turned his way.
"Just ask her out already," Zack laughed.
"Yeah, you're right," Jason sighed.
He got up from his chair and handed her way.
"Alright," Tommy said, holding up his drink, "to a happy tomorrow."
"To a happy tomorrow," they all replied.
"I needed that," Billy smiled.
Jason bit his lower lip as Emily turned towards him.
"Jason," Emily gasped.
"Sorry," he apologized. "Now you know how we made me feel."
"Excuse me," Emily said.
Jason sighed as his eyes moved to the floor.
"Emily, I like you, and I've just been scared to ask you out," he said.
"Are you asking me now," she asked.
"You could say that," Jason laughed.
"I'd love to," Emily smiled.
He looked back up at her and smiled. No one could take away the grin that was on his face.
"Great," Jason smiled.
"Did you guys really know it wasn't me at first," Billy asked as Jason sat back down.
"Not at first," Zack admitted.
"When I finished talking to Zordon, I knew it wasn't you," Jason replied.
"So, that's why you still had your communicator, right," Billy asked.
"Right," Jason nodded.
Suddenly Kim's brother, Kevin, came walking in.
"Hey, Kevin," Kim called. "You still haven't met Tommy."
Kevin put a hand on her shoulder as he reached the table.
"Tommy, this is brother, Kevin. Kevin, this is my… um, this is Tommy," she blushed.
Everyone, including Tommy, began to laugh. It was so obvious that she wanted to call him her boyfriend, but Tommy still had not found the right way to ask her yet.
"What's up, Kevin," Tommy asked, still laughing as he shook his hand.
"Nothing much, just hanging," Kevin said.
"So Kev, have you met anyone yet," Zack asked.
"One," he said.
"Well, spit it out. Who is it," Kim asked, after a long pause.
"Her name's Katherine," Kevin said.
She glanced over at the rest.
"Katherine Hillard," Billy asked.
Everyone started laughing again.
"What," Kevin asked.
"You're a freshmen bro, and she's in our grade," Jason said.
"Whatever, got to go. See you out home, Kim," Kevin replied.

The day did not go according to plan for Rita.
"I was so damn close," yelled Rita, walking into the throne room. "He had their communicators."
Even without his communicator, Alpha was able to teleport Billy out after the force field was broke.
"I'll get them one day," Goldar sneered, holding up his sword.
Rita was walking all over the place, planning her next attack for the Power Rangers.
"They have to have a weakness, something that even they don't know how to defeat," she said.
She put her hand on her forehead and stared yelling.
"Oh my God, all of this thinking is giving me a headache," Rita cried. "I just need to find something to do to get these Power Punks off my mind and get to bed. What am I doing? I don't need to be resting. I need to be planning on how to destroy them!"
"My queen, none of this is helping your health," Goldar said.
"Shut up," Rita snapped.
She stormed off in rage.

Everyone was still at the Youth Center as it began to close.
"Come on you guys," Jason said, getting up. "It's getting late."
"Don't I know it," Trini yawned.
They all grabbed their bags and began heading out the door.
"Later, Ernie," Zack said.
"Take care you guys," he waved.
"What a day," Billy laughed, opening the door for everyone. "I'm glad it's all over with."
"I think we all are, Billy," Trini smiled.
Tommy took Kim's hand as everyone in front of her left.
"Can I talk to you for a second," he asked.
"Sure,' Kim smiled. "What is it?"
"Um, I was just wondering if…" Tommy began.
He looked down. Tommy did not know how he was going to do this.
"You guys coming," Jason called.
"Shit," Tommy said to himself as Kim grabbed his arm.
"Tell me later," she whispered.
"Don't worry," Jason laughed as Kim walked off. "When the time's right, it'll just come out."
