Something is wrong

Both Jason and Kimberly had got very tired by now, it was almost impossible to duck all the lightnings and none of them was even close to the cave yet. Zack arrived just in time to see how Jason was hit by three lightnings at the same time.

Zack watched the red ranger for several seconds, waiting for him to raise. Two minutes passed, five minutes, eight minutes… finally Zack felt himself forced to understand that Jason was gone. He didn't know if he was dead or not but he knew Jason wouldn't be to any help this time.

He looked at Kimberly, she definitely needed to rest too. Then Zack finally got it, neither Jason, Trini or Billy could do anything more and Kim would be lost too, very soon.

What was it Zordon had told him? If he or Kimberly succeeded to destroy the stone, Billy would be free. But what would become better with that?

He looked at the monster again, it was still busy with Kimberly, it hadn't noticed Zack was there yet… if he could sneak over to the cave before he caught sight of him… he decided to try.

He sneaked closer to the cave and prayed that Kimberly would be able to fight some more minutes. Then he suddenly saw a shadow that fell over him. Kimberly's pterodactyl. Zack cheered inside and then he saw that he stood right in front of the cave. He ran in and found the stone. Which wasn't very difficult, Zordon had given him a perfect description of it.

Zack lifted his axe and split the stone. Then he ran out again and looked over the battlefield. Jason's and Trini's bodies were still lying where they had fallen and Kimberly was still flying around in her flying reptile. He called for his mastodon to help her.

"Zack! Where did you come from?!" he suddenly heard Kim's voice.

"From inside a certain cave!" he replied. "And I have just destroyed a certain stone!"

"Are you telling me that Billy is free?"

"Yes!"

Luckily Black and Pink now succeeded to keep the giant squid under control. They even succeeded to hurt it a little. The battle continued in that way for an hour, two hours…

Finally Zack stopped. Kim had cut five arms from the squid, and he had cut of three… that wasn't possible.

Suddenly Kimberly noticed that Zack had stopped fighting.

"Zack, what is it? Is anything wrong?"

"Yes definitely!" he answered.

"What?"

"We have injured this thing a lot… we are winning… and we have been superior in several hours…"

"What is it whit that?" Kimberly asked.

"Well in normal circumstances Rita would have made it grow before it had even got bruises…" Kimberly turned around to look at the monster again. Zack was right, it had lost almost every one of its arms. It was defeated, so why hadn't Rita done anything to prevent it…
