************************ Falcon Zord***********************

Kat couldn't help but stare from the safe zone behind the table, as Rocky and Tommy were sparring. She watched in amazement as they vanished, moved at super speed like a blur of color, disappeared in a puff of smoke only to reappear on the other side of the room. They moved with such power, such grace and purpose, it was hypnotic.

Aisha smiled from her seat. She had been enjoying the show, as well at talking to Ninjor. The blue ninja had turned out to be a wonderful conversationalist but now her eyes glanced at Kat.

Girl had it bad. She probably didn't even know it yet but Aisha could see it. The way Katherine's eyes always went back to Tommy. Girl was crushing hard and Aisha knew how she felt. After all, she always had a thing for the red ranger, who just so happened to now be her good friend. Aisha let her smile drop slightly.

Things were going to get weird if she wasn't careful.

Well... weirder.

"You guy ready to take a break yet?" Aisha called over. "I'm getting tired just watching you fight."

Tommy looked at Rocky. "A break sounds good."

"Couldn't agree more." Rocky said, powering down and going to sit at the table. He was covered in sweat. "I'm beat. I didn't feel so tired when power up but now, I need a nap." Rocky smiled as he spoke resting his arms on the table. Worn out or not, that had been an awesome practice.

Tommy chuckled, while pouring a glass of water. "You get used to it. Here." He offered the water to Rocky who took it with a thanks.

"So... Ninjor and I were talking." Aisha started, "and we think we have an idea."

"Correct! Firstly. It is very likely that the other ninjetti rangers will be human, from the simple fact that you are human, young falcon and Rocky is human. Secondly, Aisha has thought of a plan that might allow us to approach earth without the residents of the moon castle noticing us."

Aisha took a few bits of fruit from the bowl and began to arrange them on the table. "Okay this apple here is the earth, this grape is the moon, and this orange is the sun. If we," she picked up a cherry. "Were to approach from the sun side, keeping the earth between us. There's a chance they wouldn't know we were there at all."

Tommy broke into a huge grin. "That's genius Aisha!"

Rocky nodded approvingly. "And that could work. It would give us time to get stronger and find the other rangers."

"We could also, make sure the earth is doing okay. Relatively speaking." Kat added quietly. "I mean the other rangers, they might still be on earth, right?" She looked at Tommy.

"They might be but well, I'm hoping I already know where the blue and pink rangers are." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Your old team you spoke of? Billy and Kimberly?" Katherine asked.

Tommy nodded. "Yes, they are still rangers and were blue and pink before... before we failed. There's a small chance that they might be the new ninjetti blue and pink." Tommy's voice was so hopeful. Even with what Zordon had told him. He had to have hope that Billy and Kim we still human enough to be power rangers. That they could be separated from there old power coins and take on new powers. He couldn't imagine being a ranger without them. He needed both of them. "So we just need to find yellow and black."

"If you ever want to talk about it, you know talk about the old team or get anything off your chest, we're here for you man." Rocky said strongly. "And we could do the same." He looked at Aisha. "We've been in the slave caves and the harem. We've seen areas of the castle that might help form a plan."

"Slave caves?" Tommy's brow furrowed and he spoke like a leader. "Tell me about those."

So Rocky and Aisha began there tale. Telling of the mining crystals in the hot dark caves, the abuse of the slaves, being always hungry, of Adam and how much they missed there 'brother', they spoke of the shower area and the harem. Kat add in some detail here and there about the going on of the harem, the pecking order the humans established, when Zedd usually arrived and what he did when he was there.

No details were spared even though the three could feel there cheeks burning with embarrassment as they talked. Rocky, Aisha and Katherine had all done things to survive they were not proud of.

Tommy listened intently to every detail. Not saying a word until they were done. Then he simply nodded with no judgment. He took another sip of water and closed his eyes for a moment before speaking. "My story starts with Rita Repulsa kidnapping me from earth..."

*******************Billy, Kim, Adam and Justin's room********************

Adam kept his eyes more on the door than on the research Billy was currently doing. Justin was at his side and the toy human Bulk was on the desk several wires attached to him all over. While Billy hadn't said much about this test, even when Justin asked, it was clearly significant somehow. The way Billy had blushed and changed the subject quickly. Adam couldn't help but wondered if the ex-blue ranger would be explaining more if Justin wasn't around.

Adam suddenly looked back towards the door. Was that singing? Heading this way. "I think someone's coming." He warned quickly.

Billy could hear it now, loud voices just outside the door. Justin, grabbed Skull and barely had time to get under Billy's broken bed.

Billy tossed a cardboard box over Bulk to hide him just as the door pushed open.

"ANGEL GROVE HIGH! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Kimberly was singing the Angel Grove high school anthem as loudly as she could, while being half carried, half helped into the room by Goldar.

Goldar looked exasperated. "Please take her."

"Oh geez Kim!" Billy rushed to her and she wobbled out of Goldar's arms and into Billy's "What happened?"

"Billy! Hiiiii!" Kimberly giggled, smiling brightly.

"She will be fine, just a bit too much jellied dragon skin. Just put her to bed to sleep it off and..." Goldar looked around the room and then growled. The new beds had not been delivered yet and the room was still filthy. "Those two morons! I told them to get this room cleaned." He mumbled curses and then looked to Adam. "You! Start cleaning up the trash. I'll send some cleaning putties and your new beds will be delivered soon."

As soon as the door closed Billy juggled Kim in his arms to look at him. "Kim? You okay?" She smiled at him but didn't answer his question. Her pupils were dilated, her eyes as wide as teacups.

She grabbed his arm. "Billy! Sing the Angel grove song with me!"

Billy tried not to frown. "In a bit Kim. I need you to try and focus."

"Is she okay?" Adam asked, coming over.

"Adam! Hi!" Kim greeted brightly, laughing and giggling. She pulled out of Billy's arms and did a quick spin. "Echo!" she called up to the lofted stone ceiling.

Billy shook his head. "Whatever they gave her seems to have induced an incredible euphoric state."

"Meaning she's as high as a kite right now?" Adam asked.

"Affirmative."

Adam sighed, "Great, okay so what's the plan?"

Billy took a moment. "First. Justin come on out." Billy called. Justin came to join them, though he shot Kim a questioning look as she was singing once more. Billy continued. "Okay, so putties are coming to clean the room, Justin I want you, Bulk and Skull to hide in Kim's wardrobe. It won't be very comfortable but I'll tell the putties not to touch it."

Justin nodded, he could do that.

"Secondly, Adam, when they come I'm going to need you to... entertain Kim, just so she's kept occupied. I'll need to make sure they don't trash anything that's actually important and... Kimberly would you please stop that?" Bill said, holding in a giggle. While he had been talking Kimberly had come over and started poking him gently in the tummy over and over while making fart noises with her tongue.

She giggled at him but stopped poking his belly.

There was a knock on the door. "Just a moment!" Billy called. Justin and the toys got into the wardrobe as Billy turned towards Kim and gave her a warm smile. "Kim, why don't you and Adam go play on your swing?"

Kimberly's eye went wide. "Okay! Come on Adam." She playfully grabbed his hand.

Billy sighed, then went to open the doors. He hoped that stuff wore off soon.
