A/N: I don't own anything. I hope that everyone likes this chapter. I would also like to thank my reviewers for all of your comments and support. A special thanks goes out to griffenvamp for the ideas. It worked so well in this chapter that I had to use it. Anyway now onto the story.

Zordon and Kim quickly explained all the facts of her being a princess and being in protection. Everyone took the news rather well considering that they now knew a princess. Tommy also noticed that Kim was still worrying over her mother being captured. He wished that he could do something about it but he didn't even know where to start looking. He just hoped that they didn't kill her or Kim would be devastated.
Zordon looked over the kids before walking out of the room. He needed to tell James about all the kids knowing now. They would need protection because they knew Kim's secret. Picking up the phone he called James and told him the latest development. James wasn't mad just worried about all of them knowing. It was more people that could be used against Kim.

James got off the phone with Zordon and paused. He needed to call Pierre. This was his daughter that they were worried about. He needed to know everything that was going on. James also wanted to tell Pierre about the teacher that Kim had seen at school. They needed to know everything about that woman and how she fit into everything.

"Your majesty, I found out about the maid that was murdered." The servant said from the doorway.
"Come in, I need to hear this now. I also have another woman for you to look up for me." Pierre said as he motioned the servant in. He had just gotten off the phone with James. They were working on limited time and needed to know who they were dealing with.
"She is called Rita and she has been working in the palace for the last year. She kept mostly to herself and did her fair somewhat well. She was not loyal to you though because she is a part of the Lunar family. Zedd was her cousin and she reported to him during her breaks. We only found that out after someone mentioned that she always left the palace on her breaks. One of the other maids followed her one day to actually give her something that she dropped. Rita went into one of the warehouses on the docks. The maid followed her in and stayed in the shadows. She saw Zedd but she was scared so she snuck back out and made her way back to the palace. We have placed her in protection since she is the only one who saw the inside of Zedd's hideout. The guards have searched the warehouse but no one is there." The servant said.
"They most likely left after they took my wife. Please keep an eye on the maid and I will need to question her later. My daughter saw someone at her school that has her scared. The maid may know who it is." Pierre said as the servant nodded then left the room.
"Sire, Princess Protection is on line two." His secretary beeped in. He sighed and picked up the phone and hit line two.
"Pierre speaking." He said in a sigh.
"Your majesty, it has come to my attention that your wife has been taken and that your daughter has been discovered." Dimitria said to him.
"I won't even ask how you know that but yes to all." Pierre said as he closed his eyes. He needed to get out of this palace and search for his wife and protect his daughter but he had several things to see after before he could do that.
"I have my ways but we are working on finding your wife. We believe that Zedd and company have left the country and are on their way to Angel Grove." She said which made Pierre sit up straighter in his chair.
"When did they leave?" He asked her. He had assumed that they would already be in Angel Grove. If they had only left the country then he could make it to Angel Grove before them.
"We believed that they boarded a plane two hours ago. There was an unknown flight that left then from one of the smaller airports in France at the border. My men had just missed them." She said.
"Okay then I can beat them to Angel Grove. Also my daughter saw a former teacher in Angel Grove today." He said gathering papers up.
"You have been in contact with your daughter? I believe that that breaks our contract." She said.
"No I have not been in contact with Kimberly. Zordon is there to keep me informed on my daughter's welfare. She knows that the woman she saw was her teacher here. I need to know everything on that woman now." He said firmly. He was mad that Zedd had even found his daughter let alone capture his wife.
"I will find out al you need to know and get it to you while you are in the air." She said before hanging up. Pierre set the phone down before standing up. He had to get in the air to beat them. He wanted to be in Angel Grove before them.

"James, the agency has found out about the woman that Kim saw yesterday." Pierre said as he fastened his seat belt. They were making their descent into the Angel Grove airport. It had been a long night even though he had gotten everything done that he could from 30,000 feet in the air. Twenty hours on a plane was just too long.
"Who is she?" James asked as he got himself a cup of coffee. He had been working through out the night to help with whatever Pierre needed done on the ground. He was getting too old to be staying up all night.
"Her name is Scorpina and she is Zedd's younger sister. She was his right hand until Goldar came into the picture. He is now at Zedd's side for everything. Scorpina of course didn't like that but she couldn't just over throw her brother since he is named in the prophecy. She was also engaged to Goldar which I'm sure puts another thorn in her side. He chose her brother over her. Anyway she has been pulling away from the family slowly and it is said that she wants to rule." He said rubbing his eyes. They were close to the ground now. He was also glad that this was his own private plane because he would not be able to talk on the phone like he was now.
"Okay so how would she take power if her brother was overthrown or even dead?" James asked sitting down at the table. Alicia and Jason were still asleep and he was thankful for that.
"Well apparently she knows of the old law that says a Crown Prince or Princess can hand over their crown to anyone that they think worthy. Of course Kim would not hand over her crown to anyone but I feel that Scorpina will use someone close to Kim to pressure her into handing over her crown. The only problem is that that is Zedd's plan is with my wife. The only difference is that Zedd's plan involves Kim marrying him to get the crown." Pierre said as he stood up. His plane had finally come to a stop and he was ready to get off the plane.
"Okay so that means that Scorpina plans to use someone close to Kim here." James said in a low voice.
"Yes that is exactly what it means. Who is close to her?" Pierre asked as he got off the plane and followed his guards through the gates. He would drive to James' before checking into the hotel. He didn't want to see his daughter before al of this was done. He needed her surprise for what he had planned.
"Well Jason is her big brother here but I would put my money on Tommy. He is the closest to her here." James said. He knew that if Scorpina was smart that she would go after Tommy.
"Double the protection on both of them and I will see you in a few minutes." Pierre said before closing his phone. He was ready to get this over with.

"Why are we here?" Rito asked Scorpina. They were at the school watching football practice. This was one of the dumbest sports that Rito have ever seen. He couldn't understand anything that they were doing.
"Shut up! I can't think with you even breathing let alone asking questions." Scorpina said as she turned back to the field. There is he was. She only needed the perfect plan to get him away from everyone else. She couldn't wait because she would have that crown before Zedd even made it to Angel Grove. He thought that by capturing the queen he could force the princess into marrying him for the crown. He was wrong though and she couldn't wait to prove him wrong. She was now thankful that she had left Squat and Babloo back in Cordova. They had called her to tell her that Zedd had captured the Queen, killed Rita, and were now on his way to Angel Grove. They were proving very valuable to her and the future crown.
