"Zordon what are we going to do with all of these guys?" Jason asked.

Zordon looked grave, "Trini is right, for their own good the two young rangers need to be in a safe environment for now. They also need to be away from Finster's evil influence."

"The new Bunk Room should be adequate." Billy said.

"We have a Bunk Room?" Zack said in surprise.

"Newly installed," Jason said, "Incase we're ever in a extended conflict."

Zack whistled "Man, yeah, that would be useful."

"Alpha, teleport them into the room and put a force field around it." Zordon said.

"Send me with them," Trini said suddenly, "I mean they don't have their memories. Teleporting is going to be frightening for them."

"Trini, the situation could be portentous." Billy warned "They have been disingenuous in the past."

"I can handle myself, besides they need someone with them." Trini said looking over at Raquel and Tommy. It made Jason, Zack, and Billy almost shudder. The two evil rangers looked terrified right now having lost their contact with the outside world. They seemed to be calling out to someone, probably Finster, and waving and jumping frantically.

Finster stood at the edge of his prison watching the two grimly.

"Please, take them out of here." Finster said quietly, "Don't distress them anymore."

Trini was teleported into the cell. The two backed away from her. Tommy got in a fighting stance.

"Stay back," he growled, "I'm warning you."

"Get her Twinkle Toes," Raquel growled.

"No one's getting anyone. I don't want to fight you." Trini said.

"That's funny, because we really, really want to fight you." Tommy growled.

"And cut your hair." Raquel said.

Trini took a deep breath, "It's because of the bad spell. Zordon told you about the spell right?"

The two nodded.

"It's a lie." Tommy said, "The blue guy is a liar."

"I am the great and powerful wizard of Oz." Raquel said flapping her arms.

"Well I'm no liar and I say he isn't lying. There is an alien that did very bad things to you, and we want to make him stop, but to do that you have to stay here." Trini said.

"I don't want to stay here," Raquel cried, "I want to go home."

"Will we still be trapped if we stay here? I'm pretty sure there's a law about that." Tommy said.

"You'll still have the shield, but we're going to move you someplace nicer. See we're going to teleport you two like," Trini paused trying to come up with an analogy.

"Like on Star-Trek?" Tommy offered.

"Kind of." Trini said.

"Like when we go here? That hurt!" Raquel said her voice filling with panic.

"It won't hurt this time, I promise. I'll go with you." Trini said.

"You're lying, it'll hurt." Tommy said.

"I'm not lying. Trust me. I want to help." Trini said.

Raquel and Tommy stared at her a moment and then stared out at Finster. He nodded his head and signaled for them to go.

For a moment it looked like they were going to run, but they didn't. Raquel suddenly walked over to Trini and grabbed her right hand. "Ok, we'll go with you, but if it hurts I'm going to tell on you."

Tommy followed Raquel. They all held hands and a minute later they disappeared.

As soon as they left Zack turned on Finster, "How can you guys live with yourselves? After all you've done to those two you couldn't stop screwing up their lives!"

"Zachary, calm down." Zordon said, "Shouting will not help the situation."

"I'm sorry, Zordon, it's just..." his voice trailed off.

"We all sort of like Tommy and Raquel despite all this. They're a lot like us I guess. You know Rangers forever." Jason said patting his friend on the shoulder.

"Very touching," Finster said with a hint of bitterness in his voice, "but contrary to your belief my Rangers are completely different then you."

"Your Rangers?" Billy asked, his eyebrows raised.

Finster seemed to blush a bit and said, "Whatever attempts you make to convert them, I know they'll stick with evil. They are addicted, even now their pumped with evil energy from the hypnosis. Even if you keep them as children they will eventually show withdrawal effects. They belong heart, body, and soul to lord Zedd, right now."

"For right now is the key. They won't be for long." Jason said.

"Oh, are you going to see if they can suffer through withdrawal symptoms again? How nice for you. You know magic withdrawal is supposed to be quite painful. 90% of all magical withdrawal end in death or insanity, with the risk increasing dramatically over time. Of course that's not counting the 50% of the survivors who go begging for the magic again within a year." Finster said nastily, "But I'm sure all the pain you'd put those children through would be worth it."

Zack went pale, "We're not going to hurt them. Zordon knows how to fix them, right?" he looked up at Zordon.

"I have several possibilities." Zordon said, "However the situation is indeed quite complicated without the sword of darkness. Never the less the benefits out way the risks."

"Right, freeing those two is a top priority." Jason said "We promised them."

"Affirmative." Billy nodded.

"Well, protecting those two is my top priority." Finster said his eyes narrowing, "You cannot take short cuts in your attempts to free them. Even if you had the sword of darkness the power withdrawal effects could last most of the rest of their lives. They can't function without the extra power and control."

"They'll be fine." Jason said, "We'll be there for them no matter what. This is where they belong, Finster."

"How would you know where they belong? You don't even know them." Finster said darkly, "Just tell me what you want from me."

Zack and Billy looked over at Jason with looks that said, "Please have a plan."

Jason shrugged , "I think it is best we question him about Zedd's plan."

"Ok," Zack said with a shrug "What unspeakable horrors does your master want to unleash today?"

Finster glared at Zack, "Why would I know? He's not using my monsters."

"This could take a while." Jason sighed.

"Rangers, I know this is a very unusual situation for you." Zordon said, "It is a very good opportunity to gain information, but we must be tactful in questioning Finster. We do not want to become that which we fight against."

Jason and Billy nodded. Zack glared angrily at Finster though. He could never remember being so angry at someone before. This was the face of the enemy though. It wasn't a mindless monster or putty. He'd never really seen Finster much, but he had some sort of hold over Tommy and Raquel, and he didn't like it one bit.

"What about the evil Rangers, Zordon?" Billy said, "Should one of us help Trini?"

Zordon was quiet a moment, "Zachary, please go and help Trini out. She will require assistance fixing up the room for Tommy and Raquel. Remember, they are children now and most likely confused and frightened. They are also under heavy evil influences so be on your guard, but do not hurt them."

Zack glared at Finster, "Right, I'm on it Zordon." he turned and suddenly he heard Finster yell "Raquel is alergic to peanuts! "

Zack turned around and stared at the little aliens.

"And you have to cook most meats before they can eat them. And caffeine will keep them up all night long." Finster said quickly, "And remind them to be careful. And please tell Raquel that I forbid her to keep attacking to force fields."

Zack stared at Finster incredulously and said, "Yeah, um, sure I'll make sure of that." he walked off looking confused about Finsters statements.

Finster hungrily watched Zack go through the door.

Billy and Jason gave each other weird looks. Each was confused weather Finster was showing concern or just trying to trick Zack. Their attention snapped back when Zordon said, "Zachary is not taking this well. This is a very delicate situation. I do not know how Tommy and Raquel's original spells are effected with the hypnotic spell and the time reversal spell."

"Their safe, for now," Finster said coldly, "the question is how safe are you?"

"See that didn't hurt now did it?" Trini said kindly.

Raquel opened her eyes and saw they were in a well lit room. Tommy had immediately dropped Trini's hand and was eyeing the room suspiciously.

"Are we prisoners?" he asked.

Trini shook her head and said "No,"

"But we can't leave?" Tommy said looking steadily at Trini.

Trini paused a moment, "No, but it's not like a prison; it's different."

"I don't see the difference." Tommy said flopping on one of the beds.

Raquel just stood by the door poking the force field. It hurt just a little bit, but she kind of found it fun in an odd way.

"Are you alright, Raquel?" Trini asked her.

"We're not supposed to be kids then, huh? Are we all grown up like you?" Raquel asked Trini.

"Yeah, kind of. All of us are teenagers." Trini said.

Raquel seemed to be attempting to digest this information.

"Then things kept going? Do you know who my dad chose?" Raquel asked.

"Why would she know?" Tommy said snidely, "Besides she's trying to break us."

"Did my dad get back together with my mom? Did they go through on that divorce stuff they were talking about?" Raquel asked.

Trini gave Raquel a hug, "I'm sure your parents love you very much, Raquel, no matter what happened between age six and fourteen."

"I'm fourteen?" Raquel whistled "Whoa."

Rocky, Adam, Raymond, and Aisha teleported near Ninjor's temple, but for some reason their direct line was severed. After a short walk through the dessert they approached the temple.

They stood around Ninjor's vase.

"Where is he?" Rocky said peering into the vase. Suddenly he heard Ninjor's voice from behind.

"That would depend on who you are looking for, and why you are here?" Ninjor said.

A girl stood behind him, looking ready to fight but very nervous and afraid.

"Ninjor!" The four yelled with relief.

"Ninjor, it's us!" Rocky said with relief, "You know, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Raymond."

"Who?" Ninjor said.

"Is that you, Kimberly?" Aisha asked the girl behind Ninjor.

Kimberly looked surprised.

"Hey, it's me, Raymond, I sit three rows behind you in school." Raymond said.

Kimberly pulled back. "I don't know you. We don't have any big kids in our class."

"Something is very odd here." Ninjor said.

"If we use Alpha's device they'll remember." Rocky said pulling it out of his pack. However, Ninjor immediately snapped into action and knocked Rocky out easily, grabbed the device, and was prepared to snap it.

"Wait don't!" Aisha yelled, "Here us out, please!"
