Chapter 11 Only in A Dream

Rita turned from watching her telescope. It had been almost a week after Billy's near death experience. That night at the dance Zack, Jason, Kim, and Tommy saw Billy and Trini dance for the first time.

-FLASHBACK-

No one in the room knew exactly why Trini and Billy were on the dance floor wrapped in each other's arms except Kim.

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing," Jason asked.

"I'm seeing, but I'm not believing," Zack said.

Zack looked over at Kim, who quickly put her head down.

"Do you know something we don't," he asked.

"Me, oh no. I'm in as much of the dark as you guys are," Kim said.

She hated keeping this from them, but Trini and Billy would tell the rest when the time was right.

"Kim, do you want to dance," Tommy suddenly asked.

"Sure," she smiled.

Jason and Zack looked at each other and laughed.

"Now those two I get," Zack said.

"Hey, I see Emily by the counter. Do you mind…," Jason began.

"Not at all," Zack laughed.

'END FLASHBACK'

"This is a great plan," Rita said.

She walked into the throne room and sat down.

"What is this plan of yours, my queen," Goldar asked.

"If I can't get those brats when they're awake, I'll get them in their sleep," Rita said.

Rita let out a laugh. She knew she would not fail this time.

"That's a wonderfully devious plan, my queen," Goldar replied.

"Now to prepare for the Rangers demise," Rita laughed.

Billy took off his glasses and lay in bed. When his eyes opened back up, he was not in his room.

"What's going on," Billy asked.

He was outside the school.

"This must be a dream," Billy predicted.

"I'm you're worse fear, Blue Ranger," said a voice.

Billy turned to find a monster behind him. He quickly dropped into his stance.

"Who are you," Billy asked.

"I'm Spider Head," the monster said.

"You cannot defeat me," Billy laughed.

"Bring it on," Spider Head said.

"It's morphin time," Billy yelled.

Billy flew over the monster and landed on the other side.

"Nice trick, here's mine," Spider Head said.

A beam of energy came out of his eye.

"Whoa," Billy yelled as he was sent backwards.

It took Billy some time to get back up.

"Had enough," Spider Head asked.

"Not even remotely," Billy said.

Billy called upon his dagger.

"What are you going to do with that," Spider Head laughed.

"You'll soon find out," Billy said.

He jumped up and stabbed Spider Head in the eye.

"Take that," Billy said.

That action caused Billy to wake up.

"Whoa. What a dream," he said.

He was unaware at the time of the danger him and others were in.

Rita put her hand on her forehead.

"Billy's smart," she said, "but let's see how the leader of the Power Rangers will do."

"This should be interesting," Goldar replied.

"Indeed it will," Rita laughed.

Jason was attacked by his own Dinozord in his dream. The realization of it all made him sick.

"What's going on," Jason asked, looking down at his hands to realize he was morphed. "Is this a dream?"

Then, he tried calling Zordon.

"Zordon. Zordon, Alpha, come in. Are you there," Jason asked.

There was no answer from either one of them.

"What's going on here," Jason asked, looking around. "Where are the others?"

Jason was sent flying by his zord.

"Whoa! Man, what am I going to do? I need to regain control of this damn zord before it destroys the whole city," he said.

Then, he decided to go inside the zord and turn off the power.

"I'm sorry to do this," Jason said, closing his eyes as he reached for the emergency deactivation button on his communicator.

Rita's eyes grew.

"What," she yelled. "I would have never thought Jason would something like that."

"Trini's next. She should be an easy target," Goldar said.

"She better be," Rita snapped. "I'm getting a little frustrated in nothing happening."

By that time, Billy called Jason to see what was going on.

"Hello," Jason answered, nearly falling off of his bed.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Did you have an unusual dream tonight," Billy asked.

"You did too," Jason gasped.

Jason knew something was seriously wrong.

"Man, that dream was so real, I could feel the monster punching me and everything," Billy said.

"I had to disarm the Tyrannozord," Jason sighed, with a bit of sadness in his voice.

"Oh man, I'm sorry," Billy apologized.

"It's okay," Jason said. "Right now, let's just figure out what the hell's going on."

Trini tossed and turned in her bed as her nightmare was just beginning.

"Let go of me you oversized monkey," she yelled.

"Never," the monster said, grabbing her tighter.

"Help," Trini yelled.

No matter what she did, Trini just could not break away.

"Man, where are the rest," she asked.

"No one is here to save you," the monster said.

"I wasn't talking to you monkey breath," Trini snapped.

At the time, Zack tried to call Trini, but there was no answer. He had not gone asleep yet when Jason called.

"She's not answering, Jason," Zack sighed.

"Let's get her out if her nightmare then," he said. "I'll call Billy and tell him what's going on."

"Good idea," Zack replied.

Jason, Zack, and Billy teleported into Trini's bedroom. Even though they were a bit hesitant about going without her knowing, but they knew it had to be done.

"Come on, Trini, wake up," Billy said, taking a hold of her cold hand in his.

"Help me," she yelled.

"Can you hear us, Trini," Jason asked.

"Come on, Trini. I know you can hear us," Zack said.

Trini sat straight up in bed and clutched her stomach.

"Aw, shit that hurt," she yelled. "That dream was out of hand."

"This has to be Rita's work," Jason said, looking at Billy and Zack. "We got to get to Tommy and Kim's… before it's too late."

"Right," Trini nodded, still holding on to her chest.

"Are you going to be alright," Zack asked as him and Billy helped her out of bed.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Trini said.

At Tommy's, his dream was getting worse and worse as the night went on.

"Where the hell am I," he asked, getting up from the ground.

"You're in your worse nightmare, Green Ranger," the monster said, taking a hold of him.

"What," Tommy yelled, struggling to get free. "I thought you were defeated a long time ago."

Tommy was then thrown against a tree. He quickly turned around and ducked the beam of energy.

"I'm back to get your powers," the monster said.

"No, I won't let you," Tommy chocked out, grabbing his arm

Billy, Jason, Zack, and Trini finally got to Tommy's room. They all ran to the bed side.

"Tommy, get up," Billy said, tugging on his shirt.

"You're not getting my powers," he said like he was out of breath.

"What," Zack shouted, slamming his fist on the bed.

"You guys," Jason said, looking at a shocked Billy and Trini, who had managed to escape from their dreams, and Zack, who thankfully did not go through it, "we can't let Tommy lose his powers."

"I'm going to go to Kim's," Trini replied, getting up off the floor next to Billy.

"Okay," Jason nodded.

"Come on, Tommy, you need to wake up," Billy said.

"Aw, my head," he moaned.

Jason and Zack turned as they heard Tommy's voice.

"What happened," Tommy asked.

"Man, there's no time to explain. We go to get to Kim's. Trini's already there," Jason said.

"Okay, let's go," Tommy yawned, getting up from his bed.

"Um, you might want to put on some clothes," Zack laughed.

Tommy looked down and groaned. All he was wearing was a shirt and boxers.

"Good idea," Tommy said.

When Jason, Billy, Zack, and Tommy got to Kim's, there was no sign of her waking up.

"She seems to sleeping peacefully," Trini said, mainly eyeing Tommy.

"Come on, Kim," Tommy whispered, walking over to the side of her bed and bending down beside her, "wake up."

He took her hand and put it up to his cheek, but dropped it when he heard her speak.

"Leave me alone, Skull," Kim said restlessly.

In her dream, Skull had Kim by the hand, pulling her closer to him.

"No one can help you," Skull said. "You don't have Tommy to help you."

Kim spit in his face.

"You'll pay for that," Skull said.

He let go of her hand and slapped her.

"Tommy," Kim yelled out loud.

He looked over at the others.

"Did you here her," Tommy asked.

"I sure did," Trini said.

"Come on, Kim, fight," Jason replied.

"You can do it," Billy whispered.

"Remember, Kim," Tommy said, looking down as he wiped his eyes. "Remember that I'm not always going to be there, but you can do it on your own."

He looked up at her eyes, wishing they would already open.

"I don't think I can do this without you," Kim said, still asleep.

Tommy took Kim's hand and turned to the others.

"Go on, Tommy," Jason whispered. "She can hear you."

"I don't think I can do this without you," Kim cried once again.

"But you got to," Tommy said. "Kimberly, try!"

Kim opened her eyes and sat up, screaming.

"Kim, are you okay," Tommy asked.

"I… I think so," she sighed out of breath. "What are of all you doing here though?"

"Long story," Tommy said, touching her face.

Her trembling body eased at his touch.

The next day at the Youth Center, everyone was almost falling asleep. Zack, being the one that got absolutely no sleep what so ever, had fallen asleep at the table.

"You guys," Kim said, lifting her head from Tommy's shoulder, "that was really weird last night. I mean it felt so real."

"I can't believe Rita would go that low to try to stop us," Jason sighed.

His communicator started to go off.

"Yes, Zordon," Jason whispered, looking around to see if anyone was listening.

"Report to the Command Center," he said.

"You got it," Jason replied.

Trini taped on Zack's shoulder

"Zack, Zack, wake up," she said.

"What, huh," he asked, lifting his head up and rubbing his eyes.

"We got to go," Tommy said.

"Tell Zordon to wait ten minutes," Zack yawned.

"Now, Zack," Jason said.

"Alright, alright," he moaned.

As the six stood in front of Zordon, Zack's eyes were getting heavier and heavier.

"It's good to see that you six are alright," Zordon said.

"I'm not," Zack yawned, letting his head fall on Trini's shoulder

"What was all that about anyway," Kim asked.

"Sorry to interrupt, but can we get a bed in here? Zack's falling asleep," Trini laughed.

"I'll teleport him home," Alpha said.

"To answer your question…" Zordon began.

Everyone turned back to Zordon.

"Since Rita has failed to destroy you when you were awake…" Zordon said before another voice was heard.

"She thought she could when we were asleep," Billy cut in.

"Precisely," Zordon said.

"That's crazy," Kim replied.

"We have to be more careful next time," Trini said.

They all nodded.

"That's for sure," Jason said.

"She would've destroyed us all if it wasn't for Billy," Tommy replied.

"You five should be getting back now," Alpha said.

"Right," Billy yawned.

They all returned to the Youth Center to get their things before going home.

"I'm glad this whole thing is over," Kim yawned, grabbing her bag.

"I know," Tommy said, closing his book.

"I'll give Zack his stuff tomorrow," Jason laughed, getting both his and Zack's things.

"Oh, no," Kim moaned.

Kim stopped and looked up at Tommy, who took her hand.

"There's Skull," she said.

"It's alright, Kim. I'm here this time," Tommy smiled.

"Hey there babe," Skull said.

"Just keep walking, Kim," Tommy told her.

"Hey, I'm talking to you," Skull said.

"Listen," Kim snapped, "enough."

By the time she turned around, Skull had slipped on water and fell. Everyone started to laugh.

"Nice going, Skull," Jason laughed as they walked off.

"Don't walk away from me you geeks," he yelled.

"I'm glad that's over with," Kim said.

"No kidding," Tommy laughed.

Rita came storming into the throne room.

"I really thought it would've worked," she yelled. "I was supposed to win! They were asleep for heaven sacks. How did I fail?"

"You don't won't me answer that," Glodar said. "We just have to come up with something bigger to get rid of Zordon's Power Rangers."

"I'll be the one coming up with the plans," Rita snapped.

"None of them seem to be working," Goldar said under his breath.

"What," Rita asked.

"Nothing, my queen," Goldar said.

AN:

As you all know, none of these monsters were from any episodes. Stupid names if you ask me. Well, there was only Spider Head. I didn't even try to name the others. That monster should have been Zack's anyway, not Billy's. 'Crystal of Nightmares.'
