Billy walked home, satisfied with himself for initiating the intense kiss with Kim. He let himself in, and found his father sitting in the living room catching the news. Lance Cranston looked up at his son, and wondered where he could be coming from this time of night.

"I thought you were home son?" Lance asked, giving Billy a chance to explain his late night wanderings. Billy smiled at his father as he kept going toward his room.

"Kim came by to study and I walked her home father. You did raise me to be a gentleman after all," Billy said as he went to his room, with a silly smirk on his face at the prospect of wounding Tommy when he and Kim let the others know that they were dating. Billy went to his closet, trying to pick out something for the next day. He was struck by an attraction to the darker blue clothing he owned, but usually avoided. For some reason, he picked out a pair of indigo jeans and a dark gray t-shirt.

~*~*~*

Kim walked in a daze to her room, feeling a bit light headed from the explosive kiss she had shared with Billy.

"Man, I wonder what brought that on? Billy has never been aggressive in all the years I've known him," Kim said aloud as she touched her lips smiling at the memory of Billy being so passionate and wanton. She went to bed dreaming of her long time friend, now secret boyfriend instead of Tommy...oddly enough she had no problems with it at all. The next morning came around and the gang went to class as usual. The others noticed that Billy seemed to be in a bad mood or at least not in the mood for idle chitchat with them. Tommy came over and asked Billy if he really was feeling ok, falling into leader mode again.

"Hey Billy, you ok man? You seem quieter than usual today. You hardly have said two words to anyone," Billy flicked his glance at Tommy, hiding the self satisfied snicker he held in at Tommy's lack of perception.

"I'm fine Tommy, really. I don't need anyone mothering me. Aren't I entitled to be quiet once in a while. If you must know I have a headache, so I have been even quieter than usual as you put it. Now if you don't mind I have study hall," Billy shut his locker and walked off toward the library. Kim nearly collided with him as he rounded a corner.

"Oh my gosh, sorry Billy. Hey, are you all right? You seem ticked off," Kim asked, about to touch Billy in a tender way when she caught sight of Tommy leaning against his locker observing them. She let her hand trail through her brown locks, as if she had meant to do that anyway. Billy smiled slightly, and looked at her as if he could eat her alive.

"Nothing, Tommy is being his typical self. I'm not interested in having him that worried about me. We should part, he's watching us and it's all I can do to keep myself from not slapping him," Billy said as he straightened his book bag and started to walk off. He leaned in and whispered in Kim's ear as a parting shot.

"I will have the house to myself if you want to come over after school. I'd love to finish that kiss," Billy walked away letting Kim think on what he said, and hoping Tommy got the hint about pestering him. Kim walked up to Tommy, pretending she was thrilled to see him and made idle chit-chat all the way to their next class. Tommy wondered what Billy said to Kim as he walked off, and what was with the attitude all of a sudden.

"Kim, what did Billy say to you and why did he have that self-satisfied smile on his face when he walked away?" Kim faltered slightly for a moment, almost letting it slip about her newfound interest in Billy. Instead she smiled and lied to Tommy.

"He asked if I had anything I could take for his headache, I told him yeah but he would have to wait until after his study hall. What's your problem anyway? You seem annoyed at Billy all of a sudden?" Kim asked, turning the tables on Tommy. Tommy smirked as he took his seat next to Kim.

"He seems to be in such a bad mood today, I was just concerned. He took it like I was mothering him. Can't I be concerned for a friend?" Tommy sounded slightly wounded, but he covered it up. He felt like something wasn't quite right with his friends and he was going to find out what it was.

"Say Kim, what are you doing after school?" Tommy asked

"I might head home and study or if Billy is feeling better he had offered to tutor me in Physics. We have a major test coming up soon," Kim said while scribbling down some notes for class, effectively shutting down Tommy's attempts at seeing her later. While they muddled through chemistry, Billy was in study hall working on a way to get rid of Tommy, and Zedd. He was feeling very irritable, and Tommy's patronizing settled his anger toward his "friend".

*We'll see how much he likes it when I claim Kim as my girlfriend in front of everyone, better yet when I take his powers away permanently,* Billy thought. He felt another twinge in his neck and closed his eyes, letting the pain course through him in an effort to control it. Instead of feeling ill, he felt a different kind of power flow through him; something dark and powerful that was calling to him. Billy opened his eyes and smiled to himself. The change to evil was going better than Zedd could have hoped. Soon Billy would be totally under the command of Zedd and he would take Kim with him...

~*~*~*

"Well well, it seems our newest protege has plans for Tommy. I can't wait to see what he does to that power brat. I only hope he turns Kimberly when she is at her most vulnerable, thus cutting their number to 4. Two evil Rangers, and his intellect are just what I need to finally win the war against the Rangers," Zedd smiled as well as a guy with a metal grill for a face could, and observed his warrior, unseen for now. He would visit Billy later that evening to make sure that his scheme went according to plan.

~*~*~*

Kim dropped her things off at her house and headed for Billy's. She could almost feel his lips on hers, and the thought made her skin tingle. She knocked on Billy's door and waited. Billy opened the door and let her in. Upon entering, Kim initiated her own heated kiss. Billy responded aggressively, and wrapped his arms around her slim waist. He shut the door and led her to the couch. Billy sat down and Kim straddled his lap, and continued to kiss with vigor. Their tongues danced in a rhythm together. Billy moved down to her neck, probing his tongue along her sweet skin and tasting her. Kim moaned in pleasure at the sensation, and felt goose bumps form on her skin. Kim began to unbutton his shirt, when Billy's communicator sounded. They both groaned at the interruption. Ranger business was not what they wanted to be doing at the moment. Billy held the communicator to his mouth and spoke.

"This is Billy, what is it Zordon?" Billy asked.

"BILLY, PUTTIES ARE ATTACKING IN THE PARK. THE OTHER RANGERS WILL MEET YOU THERE," Zordon said.

"Ok Zordon," Billy replied.

"He has the worst timing," Kim pouted. Billy smirked, and gave her a quick kiss before they teleported to the park.

~*~*~*

Kim and Billy arrived at the park, only to see the other four rangers already battling the putties

Tick tock, tick tock

You're runnin' out of time

No time to stop

'Cause they are close behind

When they come knock

They better know it's time

I've got the lock

To keep them all in line

Kim and Billy started fighting the putties. Their energy was incredible, and their intensity mind-boggling. The others caught glances of them, and definitely saw that something was different. The putties were dropping like flies around them.

Well you can run and you can hide

When the evil's got you in sight

Tommy was so distracted by Billy and Kim that he didn't notice the putty sneaking up on him. The putty landed a good punch in Tommy's gut, and sent him sprawling to the ground. Tommy took his mind off Billy and Kim, and focused on the putties.

Rocky, Adam, and Aisha hadn't known Billy and Kim very long, but they could definitely notice that something was different about them. They saw that Tommy had a very worried look on his face. Each of them only hoped that they were all overreacting.

Now you see them

The plan is very clear

Find their weak spot

And never show your fear

They think their tough

But you've got a secret weapon

They don't know 'bout

Your ultra zord protection

~*~*~*

"The change is going to happen any moment," Zedd announced with excitement.

"The power rangers are doomed!" Goldar announced.

"Finally!" Zedd yelled.

~*~*~*

Billy and Kim disposed of the putties, and smiled at each other. They had seen the looks that their *friends* had given them. They decided that it was a perfect time to let the cat out of the bag.

The other rangers finished with the other putties, and approached Billy and Kim.

And now they run and now they hide

'Cause you're on the winning side

"Hey guys, that was some pretty intense fighting out there. What's up?" Tommy asked.

"What's the matter Tom, can't you handle it if someone fights better than you do?" Billy spat.

"What the hell is with you Billy?" Tommy shot back, his temper beginning to flare.

"My problem? My problem is you," Billy replied.

"Man, I don't know what is going on with you. Do you have any idea Kim?" Tommy asked.

"Oh there's nothing wrong with Billy, nothing at all," Kim replied, as she cuddled up to his chest. Billy wrapped his arm around her, and gazed into her eyes. It was time.

Tommy's eyes widened in horror. He felt like someone had just stabbed in the heart with a spear.

Billy's eyes glowed a dark blue, while Kimberly's glowed a dark magenta color. Billy pulled Kimberly into a heated kiss. Tommy's rage boiled, while Adam, Rocky, and Aisha's jaws dropped open.

Billy and Kim began to glow dark blue and dark pink. They broke the kiss and stared back at their former teammates.

"Your next fight will be against us," Billy said, as he and Kim teleported away.

"Did that just happen?" Aisha asked.

"What the hell would cause those two to become evil? This has to be Zedd's doing," Rocky said. Adam nodded, but had a feeling that the evil was the only thing Zedd had a hand in. He had a feeling Billy and Kimberly's feelings for each other were real. But as usual, Adam kept his mouth shut.

*Always being the quiet one, like Billy,* Adam thought to himself.

Tommy stormed off in a horrible rage, and none of the others decided to bother him at the moment.

~*~*~*

Billy and Kimberly appeared in Zedd's throne room.

"Ahh...so my young charges have finally arrived," Zedd boasted.

"Did you see the look on Tommy's face. Makes me wish I had a camera," Kim said.

"Yea, I'll make sure that one is etched in my memory for a while," Billy replied.

Billy and Kimberly approached Zedd's throne and awaited his orders.

"Move over Goldilocks, you've been outclassed," Billy said. Goldar growled, but did so this once. But he would not be pushed around by a human.

"Do you wish for us to attack the rangers Lord Zedd?" Kimberly asked.

"No, not yet. Let these recent events sink in, and allow them to drive Tommy insane," Zedd chuckled.

"As you wish Lord Zedd," Billy replied.

*It won't be long before you are calling me Lord,* Billy thought to himself.

"Finster, show these two to their quarters, and give them a chance to relax," Zedd ordered.

"Yes Lord Zedd," Finster replied. Billy and Kim joined hands and followed the monster maker.

After Billy and Kim were led to their quarters, they resumed their intense exploration that had been interrupted earlier. Billy nipped at Kim's throat, letting her know he was enjoying her attention to him... Billy smiled at Kim, enjoying the sight of her on his lap, nibbling on his neck shoulders...it was driving him to distraction in a wonderful way. "Kim, my beautiful crane...what shall we do next to Tommy? I think the sight of us kissing set off a bomb in his mind that is going to devastate him. Once Tommy is out of the way, who is next on the list?" Kim stopped her nibbling to look deep into Billy's eyes.

"How about Rita? She should be an easy picking now that she is back in that dumpster. Then how soon until we are in command my love? I want people bowing to me and I want Scorpina's head mounted on my wall," Kim said with a wanton, purely evil smile that set Billy's blood on fire.

*Apparently being evil has advantages, it brings out the best in us*.. Billy thought as he kissed Kim hungrily.

"I know, Goldar is on my list as well. I've been knocked around by him one time too many to forgive that gold plated chimp, even if we are all evil now," Billy reluctantly stands up and leads Kim to the bathing chamber, filling the stone basin with water for a bath. Even after succumbing to the darkness, he still felt the need to pamper Kim. While they relaxed and plotted the destruction of their former allies, the others have returned to the command center to regroup and figure out what has gone wrong with their friends. Tommy teleported in and stood before Zordon's tube, demanding an answer as to why his girlfriend * check that, EX-GIRLFRIEND* Tommy thought, as he scowls.

"Ok, What the hell happened out there? How did those two become evil without anyone noticing? And why didn't you bring them here?" Tommy demanded, practically screaming at their mentor.

"TOMMY, CALM DOWN. THE CHANGE THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN WILLIAM AND KIMBERLY WAS SO SUBTLE NO ONE NOTICED IT. I HAVE SCANNED FOR THEIR BIO-SIGNATURES AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TELEPORT THEM BACK FROM THE MOON PALACE. I WAS ABLE TO SCAN THEM FOR ANOMALIES. IT SEEMS THAT BILLY WAS BITTEN BY THE SNAKE OF DARKNESS THAT YOU RESCUED AISHA, ROCKY AND ADAM FROM SOME TIME AGO. I DO NOT KNOW WHY HE DID NOT MENTION THE INJURY. IT SHOULD HAVE TURNED HIM EVIL IMMEDIATELY. I BELIEVE BECAUSE HE WAS MORPHED, IT TOOK A SLIGHTLY LONGER TIME TO TAKE EFFECT. ONCE THE POISON DID AFFECT BILLY, HE BECAME ABLE TO CHANGE OTHERS EVIL THROUGH PHYSICAL CONTACT, HENCE HOW HE TURNED KIMBERLY EVIL. WHAT IS WORSE FOR US AS A TEAM IS THIS. I CANNOT TAKE THEIR POWERS AWAY. THEY HAVE BEEN BONDED TO THE POWER OF THE SNAKE'S VENOM MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE THEIR POWERS WITHOUT KILLING THEM. I DO NOT WISH TO TAKE THE LIVES OF TWO OF MY CHOSEN, BUT IF IT COMES TO THAT WE MAY HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION. THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER TO DO HERE FOR NOW, GO HOME AND REST. THERE WILL BE MANY BATTLES AHEAD, AND I FEAR THE OUTCOME FOR ALL OF US." The remaining Rangers stood still, in shock at the news that the only way to release Billy and Kim would be through death. They all wondered...

*could any of us actually kill them if it came to that?* Unfortunately, they would find out the answer all too soon.
