Author's Note: I'm sorry it's been awhile guys, but life hit me with a ton of bricks. No fears though, I haven't given up on any of my stories and I have a few new ones in the planning stages. Anyway, enjoy.
Rita watched as the battle raged on earth, "Zeddy!!! Those brats are beating up the putties again! Those mini-brats are too!! Do something!!!" She screeched at him.
"Why should I do anything else for YOU Rita? I conjured that dream for you, intending to drive Tommy's little protégés mad and it didn't work, they got control of their powers back. I should just kill that brat in the dungeon, charge the Zeo Crystal and be done with all of them."
"Zedd! I told you, you can't take the crystal from her. It has protections on it, she has to give it up willingly! We don't know what will happen if you kill her to get the crystal shard!" Rita retorted, glaring at him.
"Well what should we do then Rita? Since you seem to have all the answers," Zedd sneered at her.
"Send down more warriors, order them to kidnap those mini-brats and Kat, I think I reunion with our pretty kitty is in order," she replied, a sinister grin on her face.
"Fine" Zedd grumbled, "Tengas!! I summon you! Go!!" He shouted, brandishing his staff towards earth. "Do as I command you!"
As the battle raged in front of Adam's home, the Dino rangers were proving an invaluable asset, using the power of their gems to make easy work of the Putties.
"Ya know," Adam huffed as he jumped to his feet after being knocked to the ground by a sneak attack, "I wish we'd of had those abilities unmorphed back when we were rangers."
"We did, remember the ninjetti powers?" Rocky reminded him ducking a putty.
"I count that as morphed," Adam retorted.
"Ewww!! What are those guys?!?! Kira screamed, pointing at the sky. "They've got a feathered face," she said making a disgusted face.
Ethan ducked one of the flying foot soldiers, "They've got a funny beak too," he commented before being tackled by two of them.
"Watch the Tengas!!" Tommy yelled at his rangers vaulting over a Tenga to rescue Ethan.
"Uglier than Piranhatrons, that's for sure," Tanya said laying out the attacking Tenga with a roundhouse kick, "Tengo-bye bye," she said with a satisfied smirk.
As the battled continued, the rangers soon realized that no matter how many Tenga they knocked down, they never seemed to be getting the upper hand, and the rangers were beginning to tire out.
"Dr. O there's too many of them," Ethan cried as he blocked yet another attack, "I'm running out of energy."
"Just keep going Ethan, we've got too," Tommy said taking down the Tenga for Ethan, but even Tommy was showing fatigue.
"Hello Rangers!!" A sinister voice called as he appeared behind Katherine, "Kat, my masters have requested you to join them." Goldar wrapped his arm around Kat's neck, "Tengas, get the mini-brats and get back to the moon NOW," he ordered vanishing with Katherine.
"Kat!!" Tommy cried out reflexively.
"No!!" Adam yelled taking his frustration out on the closest Tenga.
"Let me go!! Dr. O!! Trent!!" Kira called as a trio of Tengas grabbed her and began to drag her away.
"Kira!!" Trent and Conner both yelled at the same time, Trent going camouflage and Conner putting on a final burst of speed trying to get to her. Suddenly in a flash of red-tinged lightening, the Tengas, Conner and Kira all vanished.
"Kira!! Conner!!" Tommy ran for the spot and stopped, "Oh man, this is not good. Trent!! Trent!!" he yelled, turning around to scout for him, "Trent, drop the cover, where are you?"
"Dr. O, I think he went with them," Ethan said limping over to Tommy.
Andros walked carefully over to Tommy, "What are we going to do now?"
"This has to end soon, first Catlin, now Kat, Kira, Conner and Trent. He's not going to get away with this," Tommy brooded angrily.
Meanwhile, on the moon, Goldar held Kat firmly in front of Lord Zedd and Rita. "Let me go," she cried, struggling against him. She glared at Rita and Zedd, "You know you'll never get away with this, we WILL stop you."
"No my dear kitty-kat, you will HELP us," Zedd said with a chuckle. "Just like you helped us before," he added, watching her eyes go wide.
"I'll never serve you again, NEVER!" Kat screamed, struggling harder to get away from Goldar.
"Who said you have a choice?" Rita asked, a smirk playing across her lips as she lowered her staff at Kat. A streak of blue light struck Kat and her eyes glowed for a moment before she smiled. "So Kat, what do you have to say for yourself?"
"How can I serve you Empress?" Kat asked eager to serve her Empress once again.
"Stay here while we take care of the two mini-brats that we've added to the dungeon," Zedd ordered as he, Rita, and Goldar left the throne room.
Kat relaxed in her position and then whorled around, pressing an invisible figure to the wall, "If you don't want to join your friends," she hissed, as the figure struggled in her grasp. "I suggest you stay here, and keep hidden, or I will hand you over to Rita and Zedd in a heartbeat," she threatened harshly.
"Why should I listen to you, you're evil, just like them," Trent growled back at her, struggling against her, but in his exhausted state, he couldn't fight back.
"You know what that is like don't you,?" She taunted, and turned her head, listening to the footsteps that neared the throne room, "Now shut up, and keep hidden, or you will join your friends in the dungeon," she said letting him go and returning to her position.
What on earth is going on here, Trent thought to himself as he did as she told him, staying hidden against the wall and listened to Rita and Zedd, plot with Kat, to bring down the rest of the rangers.
