AN: Thanks for all the great reviews gals and guys! Enjoy, enjoy!
Chapter 10: A Dangerous Stay
Katherine sat in the Youth Center all alone, depressed about her stupid ugly and bright purse and the Tommy and Kimberly reuniting party everyone was so happy about. They seemingly haven't parted each other for 2 days now since the unfortunate engagement party and make up. Katherine sighed and threw her purse to the table in great disgust, resting her left cheek on her palm. Adam and Tanya arrived to her table.
"Hey, Kat!" Tanya said. Katherine quickly tried to hide her ugly pink purse.
"Oh, hi guys."
"Uh, Kat, what was that?" Adam asked trying to see the ugly purse better.
"What was what?" Katherine asked.
"Come on, let's see it!" Adam and Tanya both reached for the bag. Katherine tried to hide it, but gave up and finally handed it over to Tanya.
"It's a purse, okay!"
"And you brought this, can I ask why?" Tanya laughed slightly with Adam.
"I didn't buy this. I made it, un Art class. It just…well, didn't turn out as great as I hoped so."
"Well, it's not totally bad, you know. Not everybody can be good at everything," Adam said with a slight laugh. "Wow." Tanya smiled. Adam handed the purse back to Katherine.
"Yeah, I mean, didn't Kimberly make that awesome black purse, something like Gucci would love to have it. Now, you know what not to do next time," Tanya said.
"Yeah, Kimberly, Kimberly, Kimberly." Katherine sighed and rested her chin on her arms. Adam looked at her and sat down with Tanya.
"Are you okay?" Tanya asked.
"Yeah, sorry. I really am sorry. I mean, I have no one to blame but myself. I lied, and I understand why Tommy won't talk to me…"
"Good, because what you did, that letter you wrote is the only reason they weren't together in the first place. Once that came out, you had to know that…"
"But she was so in love with Trey!"
"Trey was like you to Tommy. Someone to help them move pass one another, but nothing more, because they still, and they always will love each other." Tanya touched Katherine's hand. "I'm so sorry, Kat. You know that I would love for you to be happy, but you just can't be happy with Tommy."
"We were happy."
"Hey, hey! We're trying to study over here! Keep it down!" Adam, Tanya, and Kat look somewhat skeptical. Across the room, Bulk and Skull are sitting at a table piled up with books. Skull was goofing around with a magnifying glass, examining a comic book at different angles. "Don't look so surprised. After all, we are going for our Detective Licenses."
"Yeah!" Skull laughed. "We're gonna be full-fledged detectives!"
"That's provided you two pass the test. And there's only one way to do that. Study!" Detective Stone said. Bulk and Skull got back to work. Detective Stone leaves, shaking his head. Adam, Kat, and Tanya chuckled. Rocky came into the Youth Center.
"Hey."
"Hey man, what's up?" Adam asked.
"Hi."
"We have an emergency guys. We need to be at the Power Chamber right now," Rocky said urgently.
"What's wrong?"
"Kimberly and Tommy just told me to find you guys and hurry up." Katherine sighed. She picked up her bookbag, but forgot to stuff her ugly purse inside it, leaving it behind.
The 4 Zeo Rangers rushed to the Power Chamber and walk through the doors.
"Kimberly, Tommy, what's wrong?" Adam asked. Kimberly was holding another figure's hand, as Tommy and Alpha were facing the old man. Tommy turned to the others, to reveal the old man.
"Uh, who's that?"
"Don't you recognize me, Katherine? It's me, Billy."
"Billy?" The old man laughed and put on his glasses. "Billy! But, but what happened to you!" Katherine asked rushing over to him.
"No way," Rocky said.
"I don't believe it," Adam added.
"Billy, how did this happened to you?" Katherine asked taking his hand.
"Well, eh-eh, you remember when Master Vile turned back time and we all became kids?"
"Kids?" Kimberly asked looking at Tommy. Tommy told them about how everyone had to go on a spiritual journey to find their Zeo crystal, he never said they were children at the time.
"Yeah, Billy was the only Ranger to use the device to become a teenager again. I'll tell you more later." Kimberly nodded. Katherine turned from their way as Tommy put his arm around Kim's shoulders.
"Yeah, I remember! The regenerator!" Rocky said.
"Yeah, it was powered by our Power Coins. But, then it was destroyed," Old Billy said.
"Well, it looks like the Regenerator had a slight side-effect," Tommy said.
"It's speeding up Billy's ageing process," Kimberly said. "He's getting older every minute." Kimberly held Billy's hand as Billy had to take a sit.
"Can't we just reverse it?"
"I'M AFRAID THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION STILL REMAINS UNKNOWN ADAM."
"Wait! I might have an idea!" Billy leaves the maid deck.
"Wait! Where is he going?"
The Machine Empire welcomed back their king. King Mondo had finally been resurrected and back to his evil normal self. Prince Sprocket quickly informs his daddy that Gasket and Archina were back and tried to take over the Empire in his absent.
"Oh really! I am not surprised. Just wait until I get my hands on that wayward son of mind!" Gasket and Archina were outside the main palace deck, listening. "I'll teach that Gasket a thing or two when I find him!"
"Drats! My father…is back," Prince Gasket said.
"I suggest we just leave darling, back to our home."
"Hmm, agreed for now. Let us go."
"Yes, my dear." They left for Archina's home.
Billy asked Katherine to come with him, sensing the glares from Tommy, to the Youth Center on his search.
"Uh, explain to me why we are in the Youth Center, looking through the 'Lost and Found' box, Billy? I mean, have you ever lost a device here before?" Katherine asked.
"I don't think so, but we got to check all possibilities."
"Of course." Billy searched the box.
"So, are you okay?" Billy asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Katherine…"
"Am I mad, of course. Am I hurt, completely."
"But you had to know that…"
"I know! I have no one to blame but myself!" Katherine sighed. "Did Kimberly tell you about the letter before…"
"No. The funny thing is, Kimberly and I were friends well before Tommy, she did give hints that something wasn't right, but she never told me until we all found out the truth."
"I bet you are so disappointed in me, so angry," Katherine said with her head bowed down.
"No. You had a crush, you acted, well, foolishly…and..."
"I never wanted to be with Tommy at first. I thought I was sparing him the heartache of knowing the woman he loves was cheating him on."
"But, that was not your decision to make, whether or not it was true," Billy said putting away another item not his.
"I know and I am so sorry for doubting Kimberly and breaking them up. So sorry, I just wish Tommy would…"
"He knows and trust me, in time, he will forgive you." Billy touched Katherine's hand. "Kimberly has."
"What?"
"How else would she had kept the secret for so many weeks, months, and not yell at you when she could have. With everything out in the open now, it will just take time, especially Tommy. But he will." Bulk and Skull were using their brand new Eavesdropper 3000 in the Youth Center to gather up clues, because as any good detective, gathering clues is key. They pointed it at Katherine and the old man she was sitting with.
"Well, doesn't look like we're gonna find anything here," Katherine said stuffing an item back into the box.
"Yeah, I think you're right. Hey, what's this?" Old Billy asked, pulling out a pink purse. "Oh! Someone lost their purse."
"Oh, thanks." Katherine took the ugly bag. Billy smiled as he found a whistle. He blew the whistle, sending Bulk and Skull into howling screams of agony from the amplified sound waves.
Rita was also screaming from the Moon. She was watching the Youth Center through her telescope.
"Might I have a moment of your time, your Royal Badness?" Finster asked.
"What is it? Make it snappy? You're interrupting my snooping!" Rita yelled.
"I have completed a new staff to make monsters with."
"It's about time, Finster! King Mondo is back and we gotta keep up with the Joneses!"
"Yes!"
"It is completely different. This staff is much more powerful than anything you are accustomed to my Queen. Ah, shall I tell you?"
"Nope, I rather you not tell me. I want to be surprised. Let's not waste time. I'm gonna turn Katherine, that lying wannabe do-gooder into a monster!"
"Yes! The Power Rangers will never destroy one of their own, even though she lied."
"Let's get rolling!" The beaten-up vehicle is shown driving away, Rita has her new Staff sticking out the front window
"Go! Go! Go, Zedd, go! Yeah! Hahaha! Faster, Zeddy! We've almost got her!"
Back in the Juice Bar, Kat and Old Billy are still-hunting through the "Lost And Found" box. Old Billy finds a fish; Kat tries on a pair of weird glasses; both of them laugh. Old Billy continues searching the box. Katherine gasped.
"Billy, you're getting older."
"What?" Old Billy, whose hair has become greyer. He touched his right cheek and examines his left hand as if to confirm her diagnosis, and then replies with an almost forgotten expression.
"We better get back now."
"Affirmative." Katherine helped Billy up from his seat and they rush back to the Power Chamber.
Rita is within range of hitting Katherine, but Goldar and Rito fight for a seat, causes Rita to drop the staff out the window, hitting Katherine's pink purse in the process with a red beam. It vanishes in a puff of smoke.
"Stop! I dropped my staff!" Behind a bush not far from the Youth Center, a dark, piggish cartoon outline appears. Drawing back its teeth-like zipper, the new monster materializes.
"Great monster, sis!"
"It's a PURSE! A purse monster?! What kind of monster is that?!"
"Well, it does have quite a nice zipper, my Queen."
"Quiet! I need to think!"
"Oh, now we're in trouble!"
Back in the Power Chamber, everyone was searching around. Kimberly and Tommy were scanning some papers. They quickly puts them down as Katherine and Old Billy re-enter through one of the doors.
"Hey, any luck Billy?" Tommy asked.
"No, Katherine and I weren't able to find anything that might help." Rocky and Adam, who are working near one of the control panels, exchanged looks and smiled.
"Well, we may have found some luck!" Rocky said.
"Yeah, they are teleporting in now."
"Who?" Two Aquitian teleportation beams descend into the room; Cestro and Delphine have arrived. Cestro was holding a large gun-like device.
"Delphine! Cestro!"
"Who are they?" Kimberly asked.
"Greetings, Rangers," Delphine said, sweeping hands in Aquitian greeting.
"WELCOME BACK, RANGERS OF AQUITAR."
"Aquitar? There are Rangers on other planets?"
"Yes," Tommy said. "They are a team from Aquitar, a water planet."
"Cool."
"Rocky and Adam told us about your problem, Billy. I have constructed a new Regenerator device that should return you back to normal," Cestro said.
"Oh, that's just great! I'm not getting any younger!" Cestro aims the device at Old Billy. Alpha waits tensely a short distance behind Cestro. Suddenly, the device blows up. Everyone gasped; slight jumps backs from the Rangers. Old Billy shields his face as two more sparking explosions flare up, and then lowers his arms.
"What happened?"
"Perhaps there was too much feedback," Delphine said. Behind them, one of the control panels blows up too. Alpha staggers to his feet nearby.
"Alpha!" Kimberly rushed to Alpha with Tommy.
"Ohh! Aiyayaya!" Alpha started pushing buttons at the panel. "The explosion destroyed the Teleportation Unit!"
"Can you fix it, Alpha?"
"I'll try!"
At the Machine Empire Klank tells his masters that Rita made a monster from Katherine's ugly pink purse. King Mondo doesn't want anyone but him defeating the Rangers, so he goes to take his greatest monster down to Earth.
At the Power Chamber, the Regenerator device lies on the table, still smoking.
"I'm afraid the device is damaged too. In order to repair it, we will need very fresh water," Cestro said.
"Well, there is Angel Grove Falls. I mean, that's the closest fresh water around we got around," Kimberly said.
"Yeah, you can take the Zeo Jet Cycles. I was tuning them up before this all started."
"Cestro and I will need help to fix the regenerator."
All of a sudden the Power Chamber Alarm went off.
"RANGERS, THE MACHINE EMPIRE, AND RITA AND ZEDD HAVE BOTH SENT DOWN NEW MONSTERS."
"You guys go ahead and deal with the monsters. I'll stay here with Billy and help the Alien Rangers," Kimberly said.
"Alright." Tommy touched Kimberly's arm.
"Don't worry about me, I'll take care of Billy after I go to Angel Falls to get the water. You go take care of those monsters." Tommy and Kimberly shared a quick kiss. "Be careful."
"It's Morphing Time!" Tommy yelled.
The Zeo Rangers morphed out on their Jet Cycles to find and destroy the monsters. King Mondo's monster was able to control their Cycles with a machine golden tile placed on the bikes.
"What's wrong with the bikes!" No one had control over their bikes and ended up crashing into a building. "Whoa! It's gonna blow! Run! Come on! Let's go!" The five of them staggered away, and not before the building and their bikes blow up.
"How do you like your fiery finale, Rangers?"
"Oh no! It's King Mondo!"
"That's right! I'm rebuilt and I'm better than ever, with my new monster, Cog-Changer!" The Cog Changer changes all the cogs and they are sent to battle the Rangers. Rita and Zedd made their monster, the Impursinator, grow, causing the Rangers to have to call forth their Zeo Megazord.
"We don't have much time, Billy needs us!"
"Right!" With the Zeo Megazord, the Rangers battled the Impursinator. While their battles with the purse monster, Cog-Changer plants his seeds into the Megazord.
"I never liked that purse!" Katherine yelled.
"Zeo Megazord Saber, now!" The Zeo Megazord Saber charges up and slashes Impursinator, but yet again has no effect upon the gigantic purse. Cackling with glee, she blasts back at the Rangers again. There is an explosion, and the Megazord hits the ground.
"Victory!!!" The monster screams. She lands with a crash, throwing herself atop the fallen Megazord. It hurls its Saber aside, needing both hands to grab her.
"Red Battlezord, now!" Tommy yelled. The Red Battlezord blasts out of the Holding Bay cannon and whirls through the air. Zeo Ranger 5 beams inside. "Back off, Impursinator!"
King Mondo doesn't want Rita's ridiculous purse monster to take all the glory. His monster, Cog-Changer plants his evil cogs into the Megazord. The Red Battlezord continues to pummel Impursinator while the Zeo Megazord slowly regains its feet.
The MegaBattlezord rumbles forward, blasting away at full strength, but even that is not enough to take out Impursinator. Unaffected, she fires her pink beams again, aiming right at the cockpit. The Rangers cry out, jolted by the impact.
"We need Kimberly and Prymidas!"
At Angel Grove Falls, Kimberly was filling up the Regenerator bottle with fresh clean water.
"I better hurry and get this back to Billy before it's too late." Kimberly put the cap on the bottle. "Hang in there, Bill." Kim's communicator goes off. "Kimberly here."
"Kimberly! This thing's tougher than we thought! We need you and Pyramids," Tommy yelled.
"On my way. It's Morphing Time!" Kimberly morphed into the Gold Ranger. Pyramids appears, with Kimberly inside. She fires her lightning attack at the monster.
"Come on, guys! Initiate the Zeo Ultrazord now!"
"Zeo Ultrazord, fire!" The Zeo Ultrazord unleashes its full artillery upon Impursinator. Her stomach swells out as she first absorbs and then reflects the blasts, producing a moderate explosion.
"Haven't you learned yet? You're powerless against me, Rangers!"
"Damn, the purse is right. We're gonna need to form a new configuration." Kimberly activates controls. Pyramids's arms fold back; its front section slides out and forms a carrier structure.
"Zeo Ultrazord, Carrier Mode!" The Rangers yelled. Still no damage to the purse monster.
"Damn it! It's not working! We've gotta retreat and get the water to Billy!" The Ultrazord Carrier retreats.
King Mondo decided to end Rita's monster power stance and has it sucked away through a porthole.
"Pop, what happened to the monster?"
"I had it teleported to another planet, so that I can destroy the Rangers myself!"
"But how?"
"The Cog-Changer planted an evil part in the Zeo Megazord. The next time they use it, they'll all be destroyed!" They all laughed together.
Back in the Power Chamber, the Rangers enter through one of the doors, carrying their helmets. Kimberly has the bottle in her right hand.
"I got the water."
"It may be too late." Cestro attaches the bottle to the Regenerator. He fires the machine at old Billy.
"Hey, it's working!" Katherine said with a smile. The Regenerator stops. Billy's faces wobbles back from slightly better to his elderly state.
"Oh man, we had it for a second!"
"I'm afraid this isn't enough. The ageing process will continue at an accelerated rate."
"RANGERS, KING MONDO'S COG-CHANGER IS STILL ON THE LOOSE AND WE AREN'T CERTAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO RITA AND ZEDD'S IMPURSINATOR."
"Without Billy, we're gonna need help."
"WE ARE RECEIVING A TRANSMISSION." Everyone looked at the viewing globe.
"Rangers of Earth, this is Aurico. The remaining Rangers of Aquitar are standing by to offer assistance at the first sign of trouble."
"We will not leave you in your time of need." Billy smiled as Cestro touched his arm. She smiled back at Billy.
"RANGERS, I AM PICKING UP SOME ABNORMAL READINGS IN THE ZEO ZORD HOLDING BAY." The Viewing Globe shows a transparent diagram of the Zeo Megazord which then fills in with solid color. A red circle flashes around its left leg.
"Look, th-there's something wrong in the Zeo Megazord. Looks like a-a-a loose wire in the auxiliary sub-cockpit. I'd better go check it."
"Wait, should you be moving about so soon?" Kimberly asked trying to hold Billy back.
"No, I think it's good for me." Everyone sighed as Billy quickly left to go to the Zeo Zord Holding Bay. "Oh, these readings are all wrong."
Just then, the evil cog reappears inside the Megazord, causing the other cogs to activate. The Megazord starts to smash the Holding Bay support structures.
"What the…" Old Billy is startled by the sudden, he quickly dons a headset. "Mayday! Rangers! Mayday!"
"What's going on?
"The Zeo Megazord has been sabotaged! And Billy can't transfer to the main cockpit to stop it! Aiyayaya!" The Zeo Megazord continues smashing up the Holding Bay. Old Billy braces himself, as the Megazord takes off into the air. Kimberly sees him on the Viewing Globe.
"Billy!" Kimberly yelled.
"Aiyayaya! The Zeo Megazord has left the Holding Bay! Ohh ...no!"
Inside the Power Chamber, Tommy, Tanya, Katherine and Adam stare at the Viewing Globe, unable to look away. Kimberly and Cestro can be seen in the background, working on the damaged teleportation unit.
"The Zeo Megazord is out of control. I can't access the main control panel. Help! Help!"
"We have to teleport him out of there," Adam said.
"But the teleporter is still down!"
"We must repair it if we are to have any hope of rescuing Billy," Cestro said.
Kimberly and Tommy close the teleporter panel together and pushes a few more buttons. "There, that should do it, Alpha," Tommy said.
"Right, teleport Billy now!"
"But the locator chips aren't online yet!"
"If we can't retrieve Billy, perhaps you can stop the Zeo Megazord," Delphine said.
"Right, the Super Zeo Megazord should have enough power to do that. Back to Action!"
The Super Zeo Megazord blasts out of the Holding Bay cannon to try and control the rampaging Zeo Zord.
Delphine punches his fist at the panel and they are finally able to save Billy and teleport him to safety.
"Yes, we saved Billy!" Alpha yelled. Kimberly hugged Billy.
"Oh Billy!" Old Billy smiles and adjusted his glasses after hugging Kimberly.
"Thanks."
"That's some good new, but look. The Super Zeo Zord can't stop the Megazord with that Cog-Changer monster in control of it."
"MONDO'S SABOTAGE LET THE MONSTER GET PAST OF DEFENSE MECHANIMS."
"Tommy, watch out! King Mondo's monster is in the Zeo Megazord!"
"Thanks for the warning, Kim. We're on it." The Zeo Megazord with the Cog-Changer in control battles the Super Zeo Megazord.
Alpha scans Old Billy with a hand-held device that emits a green ray. Bill has aged greatly and now looks very frail.
"I'm afraid the ageing has accelerated even more! At this rate, he'll reach 100 years in an hour."
"Oh no. Hang in there Billy." Kimberly got up from sitting beside him. "Guys, we gotta figure out something out now." Cestro and Delphine turn to each other.
An evil blue spirit energy sweeps through the Super Zeo Megazord cockpit, startling the Rangers. Impursinator materializes inside.
"I'm back, Rangers!" She blasts the five of them with her twin pink bursts, knocking them out of the Megazord. They hit the ground groaning. Impursinator joyfully takes control of the Super Zeo Megazord and then battles with Cog-Changer monster in the other zord.
Kimberly looked up into the viewing globe with the 2 Aquitian rangers.
"The monsters are fighting each other."
"They're gonna destroy Angel Grove at this rate."
At the Private Eyes Have It Detective Agency. Inside, Bulk and Skull are seated at opposite ends of a desk. Detective Stone gives them each a booklet for their License's test. He gives them an hour before leaving. The monster alarm goes off for the city.
"Bulky! The Monster Alert! Do we stop?" Skull asked.
"I bet it's part of the test. You know, to see if we can concentrate under fire," Bulk said.
"Oh, yeah. Concentrate." They both go back to working on their test.
Kimberly groaned and turned from the viewing globe.
"They can't do anything without their Zords."
"It would take too long for our Battle Borgs to arrive!"
"KIMBERLY, PERHAPS IT IS TIME TO CALL ON THE POWERS OF THE AURIC."
"Right, Zordon! Back to action!" The Gold Ranger reappears out in the city, crouched amidst some rubble, the key to Auric the Conqueror's Tiki in his right hand.
"You guys! Tommy! Where is everybody?"
"Kimberly!" The other Rangers turn up nearby. They stand together. "You brought Auric's key! Good thinking, Beautiful!"
"Thanks. We better call him right away!"
"Let's do it!"
"We call on Auric the Conqueror!" Kimberly hurls Auric's glowing key into the sky. A gold beam descends from above, lightning flashes, and Auric's massive Tiki rumbles its way out of the earth. It transforms into the mighty Conqueror himself, his dark cloak flapping gently in the breeze.
"I am Auric the Conqueror, defender of all that is good and true. Who requires my assistance?"
"Auric, it's us, the Power Rangers. Monsters have taken control of our Zords, and we need your help ... before they destroy the city."
"Do not worry, Rangers. I believe I see the problem." He marches off towards the warring Megazords, who are mildly swinging their fists at each other near a couple of flaming buildings. Auric extends his palms peaceably and gets right to the point, but the Megazords do not care.
"We're monsters! This is what we do!" Cog-Changer yelled. Each Megazord socks Auric in the face. He staggers, clutching his head. Impursinator flies out of the Super Zeo Megazord's head in the form of spooky spirit energy.
"Wait! What is this?" Auric is too overmatched. "I am sorry, Rangers." Auric glows brightly, reverts to Tiki form, and shrinks to dormant size.
"Auric! The monsters ganged up on Auric and forced him away!" Kimberly yelled.
"Look, let's be positive. I don't see how things could get any worse," Katherine said. King Mondo sent down cogs to end the Rangers.
"Worst! What are you talking about things not getting any worse! Hello, have you not been watching!"
"Guys, come on! We can take these monsters!" Tommy yelled. The Rangers battle the cogs army. The cogs take off.
"Huh! I bet I know what that was all about. Mondo must have sent the Cogs to distract us from dealing with the Megazords. Return to the Power Chamber."
The Rangers returned to the Power Chamber.
"Rangers, we have found a way to treat Billy."
"Great." Billy was now sitting in a rocking chair.
"But it may be dangerous."
"An old friend from Aquitar, Cestria, is bringing me water from their Eternal Falls," Billy said.
"For Aquitians, the Eternal Falls is like your legendary Fountain of Youth. It makes us younger," Delphine said.
"However, we do not know the effects it may have on a human," Cestro said.
"I'm willing to take the risk."
"RANGERS, WE MUST STILL ATTEND TO THE ZORDS IN ANGEL GROVE."
"Yeah, they are tearing down the city," Rocky said as they watched through the viewing globe.
"Well, I have a plan to stop the Impursinator. But, I'm gonna need everyone's help," Katherine said.
Meanwhile, the dueling Megazords are still battling, but moved away from the city. . "Hey, Impursinator!"
"Goody, the Rangers are back. But I'll never get them from in here!" The monster leaves the zord.
"Huh? What is my monster doing?" Rita asked. "NO!"
Impursinator materializes on the ground.
"Rangers! Oh, Rangers! Where are you?" Rita pulls her monster out of battle to give it a tongue lashing, making the monster stay here to think about it.
With the Super Zeo Megazord left unattended, Tommy, Adam and Rocky were happy.
"Great, it worked!" They jump into the zord. "All right! Now for part two of the plan." The Megazord grabs a hold of the other zord, so the girls to get to work in destroying all the Cog-Changer's ring controls. The Zeo Megazord breaks off its attack, locking up completely.
"Hey! What's going on here?" Pink Ranger appears in the cockpit and attacks the monster, sending it falling to the ground.
"I'll get you!" Cog-Changer yelled. Pink and Yellow Zeo Rangers got back control of their Megazord.
"Great plan Katherine!'
"Thanks. Now that we got control of the zords, we can help get Billy back to normal."
Back at the Power Chamber, Cestria appears holding a bottle of water.
"I wish we were seeing each other under better circumstances," Cestria said. Billy laughed.
"I guess I've gotten a bit older since I was on Aquitar."
"You are still the same Billy, no matter what age you are," Cestria said. Billy smiled at her. Billy drinks the water.
"It looks like it is working," Kimberly said. "Is it enough?"
"Aiyayaya! No! He's still ageing!" Billy groaned. "Perhaps we should send Billy back to Aquitar for long-term treatment with stronger doses."
"Billy, these treatments have never been tested on humans before. Stronger doses may do more harm than good."
"I've got to take the chance, Cestria," Billy said turning to Kimberly.
"I would never forgive myself if anything were to happen to you." Billy looked at Cestria with a smile before looking at Kimberly.
"Tell the others."
"Sure thing, Billy. You take care...and come back…yourself." Kimberly and Billy hugged. "Old friend." Kimberly and Billy laughed. Billy wiped away a few tears from Kim's face. "Billy..."
"I will be seeing you again, Kimberly." Kimberly nodded.
"I love you, Bill." Billy smiled and kissed Kimberly on the cheek. Cestria held on Billy and they teleported away.
From the Moon, Finster informs his queen that Mondo is about to send a large battalion of troops to Earth. Rita does not want to be bested by King Mondo, she sends back her Impursinator monster. Laughing, Rita blasts Impursinator, who flies away, and indicates her handiwork with a flourish.
The Power Chamber alarm goes off. Kimberly looked around.
"Zordon, what's wrong?"
"MONDO AND RITA ARE BOTH ABOUT TO ATTACK ANGEL GROVE COLISEUM."
"And they have a whole fleet of cogs!"
"We must combine forces," Cestro said.
"I will dispatch the other Alien Rangers."
"Back to Action!" Kimberly yelled.
"I'm Morphing Time! Time for Aquitar Ranger Power now!"
At Angel Grove Coliseum, the Alien Rangers raise their swords to the sky and then go into battle stance. A flurry of small cogs flies through the air, knocking them down. Cog-Changer has arrived, with several spear-wielding Cogs in tow.
"I'm back, Rangers!" All the Zeo Rangers appear next to the Alien Rangers. Cog-Changer and Impursinator team up to battle all the Rangers. Kimberly finally appears before the Rangers with the golden staff.
"Everyone ready!"
"Oh yeah!"
"You know it!" All the Rangers go into battle stances.
"Aquitar Ranger Blast!" Alien Rangers conjoin their blades, aiming at Impursinator. A blinding white burst strikes the monstrous purse, which shrieks laughter.
"Zeo Power Cannon!" Zeo Rangers formed their weapons.
"Fire!" Red Ranger yelled. The Zeo Rangers defeat the Cog-Changer, but Klank, Orbus and Sprocket appear and make the monster grow to giant size. Rita and Zedd join in the act and make their monster grow as well.
"Alien Rangers battle the cogs with Kimberly. We'll take on the gruesome twosome in our Zords."
"Right, Tommy."
"Come on guys! We need Super Zeo Zord power now!" The 5 Super Zeo Zords blast out of the Holding Bay cannon and fly through the air. They battle the monsters. The Zords break into teams to battle each monster. King Mondo is able to combine the monsters into one evil creature.
"Take a good look, Rangers! Now that I have twice the power, I'm double the trouble, and there's nothing you can do about it!"
"Oh yeah! Watch and learn!" Tommy calls for the formation of the Super Zeo Megazord.
"Let's show this creep what he's up against!"
"Right!" Adam, and Tanya control the Zeo Megazord, while the Rocky and Katherine control the Super Zeo Megazord, Tommy in the Red Battlezord. With the powerful Warrior Wheel utility zord, the Rangers were able to destroy the Purse-Changer monster.
Down below, the Gold and Aquitian Rangers cheer.
"We did it! Way to go guys! We sent those cogs packing!"
"Alright!" Kimberly and Cestro high fived in joy. The Zeo Rangers jumped down from their zords.
"Rangers of Aquitar, thanks a million," Tommy said shaking hands with Aurico.
"No problem!"
At the Youth Center, Bulk and Skull tentatively await their test results. Detective Stone appeared with their results. It turns out Bulk and Skull did pass, earning their licenses.
"Now normally, you wouldn't have passed, but the examiners gave you extra points for completing the test during a monster attack."
"You mean, that attack was for real?" Skull asked. Detective Stone nodded. Bulk and Skull gasped. Ernie brought over sundaes for congratulations. Bulk and Skull fall face first into their sundaes.
Back at the Power Chamber, the Rangers get a message from Aquitar.
"UNFORTUNATELY, THE STRENGTH OF THE SIGNAL HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY THE RECENT OVERUSE OF THEIR TELEPORTATION SYSTEMS."
"Hey, it's Billy and Cestria!"
"Greeting Rangers. We wanted to let you know the Eternal Falls worked. Billy is young again." Everyone laughed and hugged.
"Alright, Billy!"
"That's terrific! When are you coming home, Billy?"
"Actually guys, I'm…I'm not."
"What?"
"Guys, I've made a really important decision. I'll miss you all, but I'm going to stay here on Aquitar with Cestria." Kimberly smiled. Tommy put his arm around her, knowing the feeling. "I think I've finally found someone I can really relate to."
"I always knew you would Billy," Kimberly said.
"Yeah, I just didn't think she'd be from another planet," Rocky said. Everyone laughed.
"We're really happy for you, Billy. And you, too, Cestria," Tommy said.
"Yeah, we're going to miss you mate," Katherine said.
"He's so happy, he's speechless," Cestria said. Billy waves to the Rangers.
"Bye, Billy!"
"See ya man!"
"Take care Billy!"
"And keep in touch!"
"I will guys. Bye!"
"Bye!"
No more Billy, waaaaa, well, at least he's out the Power Chamber :P
Just a few more to go until the final chapter guys!
Teaser to Chapter 11: How To Save A Life
The Gold Ranger was racing through the forest on the outskirts of Angel Grove, trying to elude some cogs. Kimberly struggled to hold herself up as she leaned against a tree.
"Oh man! I picked a great time to leave my communicator at Tommy's place." Kimberly looked back as her powers failed her for a second time. Kimberly was her citizen self, without her gold ranger suit. "I gotta get to the Power Chamber." Kimberly's gold ranger suit appeared back. Multiple cogs appeared behind her. The tree hid Kimberly. "This is not my idea of a hike in the forest." Kimberly took off running.
:P
