Billy took one unsteady step forward, trying to wrap his mind around everything happening. His legs shook and he just barely noticed Zedd and Goldar teleporting away, Zedd raging at something or other.
He stepped again, raising his head to stare at the others, but only for a heartbeat before he pitched forward. He didn't make it to the ground, not with Adam practically appearing next to him to catch him. He blinked for a few moments, still not fully remembering everything.
"Guys? What happened?"
Talking felt strange. Like he hadn't done it in a while. Like his mouth and lips weren't used to making the movements anymore.
Adam held onto him even as he steadied himself, worry clear. "What do you remember?"
Billy closed his eyes for a moment. When he couldn't see, a flood of other information overwhelmed him. Scent of grass, scent of Adam, faint hints of scorched earth, other aromas assaulted his nose. For a heartbeat he could feel an odd metallic taste in his mouth and recalled the brush of tall grass against his fur – skin. The moment he opened his eyes again, it all faded away.
"Nothing very clear." And what he did remember he didn't understand. He looked from one to the other, trying to figure out what happened and why they all looked so relieved. Clearly Zedd had been up to something, but just what, he couldn't be certain just yet.
Adam started to speak, but the communicator interrupted.
"Rangers, Zedd has sent a monster into downtown Angel Grove."
All six of them groaned. Billy drew in a breath and nodded an affirmation before Tommy could even ask if he were ready to do this. Whatever Zedd had in mind, or had tried, they would stop him.
It was what they did.
