Chapter Ten
The original five Power Rangers had not left the Command Center. They were all still reeling with the mixed emotions Tommy's sudden betrayal had caused. Kimberly most of all.
It was hard on the Pink Ranger. She had a crush on the Green Ranger ever since the moment she was him at the Martial Arts Expo several months ago. And even though they had been on a few dates and had yet to become an official couple, there was still a connection between them, a bond that being Power Rangers had helped develop.
Tommy being put under another spell that turned him evil only made Kimberly want to cry. It seemed that the Green Ranger was the one who had the hardest time out of all of them.
Trini had gotten over her fear of heights, Zack had difficulties fighting very strong monsters on his own, Billy's fights always were personal, her own tested her calmness, her ability to control her emotions, and Jason, well, being the leader and strongest fighter had to fight the toughest monsters, Tommy, Goldar, and had to look after everyone else while keeping a cool head.
But Tommy's time as a Ranger had been rough from the start. First, with Rita turning him evil and making him the Green Ranger, then him losing his powers, and when he gained his powers back, it was only temporary, he had to borrow some of Zordon's energy. Now, he was evil again. Kimberly knew Tommy was going to struggle with this mentally. He already felt guilty for the first time he was evil and the wicked thoughts that came with it. Now he would have something else weighing down his broad shoulders.
"Alpha," Zordon's voice broke through Kimberly's thoughts. "Do you have a lock on Tommy yet?"
"Yes, I've found him by the mountains," the little robot answered.
"Tommy's out of Lord Zedd's trance, but his powers are fading," Zordon said and Kimberly wondered how the ancient wizard knew this, but was relieved by the news that her love interest was no longer evil.
"He needs your help Rangers."
"It's morphin' time!" Jason cried and they morphed.
