Quiet Evil

Chapter 3

Billy pulled her shirt over her head, revealing her pink lacy bra. Her caramel hair spilled over her bare shoulders. She unbuttoned his shirt, and pushed it off his shoulders and onto the floor. She marveled and caressed his well-muscled torso. Billy pulled her into a hungry kiss, as he unbuttoned her jeans and discarded them. He led her over to the stone basin full of steaming water. The rest of their clothes were shed as they immersed themselves in the water. Billy pressed up against her, making her gasp in anticipation. Billy made her wait no longer. Their blood was set afire as they made love for the first time, and forever joined their souls. Good or evil didn't matter at the moment.

~*~*~*

She had finally found away out of that stinking dumpster. She stared at Lord Zedd's palace with a scowl.

"Damn Zedd for locking me back in that horrible dumpster. I must find a way to regain control. If only she could make it to Finster. Her loyal Finster would have something she could use. Rita entered the palace, and began to tiptoe through the corridors.

She found her way to Finster's lab and entered.

"My Queen!" Finster exclaimed, but quickly hushed himself.

"Be quiet Finster! I need you to make me a love potion," Rita whispered.

"Whatever for my queen?" Finster asked.

"I'm going to put a spell on Lord Zedd. He will fall in love with me, and I will be in control once again!" Rita said.

"What a lovely plan, here you my queen," Finster said, as he handed her a vile.

Billy and Kimberly had finished their sensual bath, and had been on their way to the throne room, when they overheard Rita's plan.

"Won't Zedd just love to hear about this," Billy said.

"Let's not tell him. Let Rita put her silly little love spell on him. Then we can take them both out with ease," Kim said.

"Have I told that I love the way you think?" Billy asked. Kim flashed him a sexy smile, and kissed him quickly, before they headed off for Zedd's throne room. They couldn't wait to see the look on Rita's face when she saw them.

Lord Zedd was required to sleep for 48 hours, every 100 hundred years. He was doing so, and only had a few hours remaining before he would wake up, and be completely recharged. Rita slipped into his chambers, and administered the vile's contents. Then she slipped out, and laid low for a few hours.

~*~*~*

Tommy pounded the punching bag fiercely. Rocky, Adam, and Aisha watched him from their table, while they discussed things.

"Man, this has to be rough on Tommy," Rocky said.

"Yea, but there has to be away to bring Kim and Billy back to the good side, and get things back to normal.

"Things are never going to be the same Isha. Even if we do bring them back, those feelings aren't going to go away. I have a strong hunch that they've always loved each other, and that the evil only uncovered those feelings," Adam said quietly. Rocky and Aisha just stared straight ahead. Neither of them was sure how to respond.

~*~*~*

Zedd was beginning to wake up, and Rita was waiting for him.

Suddenly, Goldar entered the room.

"Rita! Lord Zedd has banished you. He will not be happy to see that you have returned!" Goldar yelled.

"We'll see about that monkey breath!" Rita screeched.

"Rita?! Rita Repulsa, you...are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen!" Zedd exclaimed as he *kissed* her hand.

"What?! But Lord Zedd, you banished Rita!" Goldar protested.

"Oh be quiet Goldar!" Zedd yelled.

"Yeah!" Rita retorted.

"It's good to see you awake Lord Zedd," Billy said, as he and Kimberly entered the room holding hands.

"What are you power brats doing here!" Rita yelled.

"They have turned to our side my lovely buttercup," Zedd explained.

"What?!" Rita screeched. *They'll ruin everything!* Rita thought to herself.

Billy and Kimberly smirked at her evilly.

"You get acquainted with our apprentices, while I go make plans for our wedding," Zedd told her.

"Yes Zeddykins," Rita said.

"Nice performance Rita. That love spell has done a number on him," Kim said.

"How do you know about that?" Rita spat.

"You weren't very quiet when you were in Finster's lab," Billy replied.

"You brats better not get in my way!" Rita warned.

"And you best stay out of our way," Billy retorted dangerously, as he and Kim teleported down to earth to have some fun with their former ranger friends.

~*~*~*

Billy and Kim landed in the park, looking around for a moment before heading off to the youth center. Billy smiled, something that would normally be charming on the blonde, but since his turn to darkness, his smile was a thing of cold beauty.

"Kim, what can we do to them that will make them truly suffer? Aside from their destruction?" Billy said as they sauntered through the park. Kim smiled as a wicked thought occurred to her.

"You do realize we will have to continue going to school and such, otherwise our cover as Rangers will be blown. Good or evil, we can't risk that happening. And seeing as how I want people to know we are together, I think us being affectionate, exceedingly affectionate in public should cause Tommy a great deal of pain. Once we have him off kilter, we can go after the rest of them. Rocky, Aisha and Adam are not as strong as he is, mentally or physically. There isn't much that will get to Tommy aside from his feelings," Billy nodded, his thoughts following Kim's line of reasoning. After all his IQ did begin with a 2. "Yeah, his emotions have always been his Achilles heel. You have been his weakness as well. Hmm, I wonder what would happen if we walked into the youth center hand in hand? He's here, I can feel it...such purity is making me ill," Billy said as they came up to the youth center. Kim looked at her new beloved and took his hand as she pushed open the door...

~*~*~*

Meanwhile on the moon, Zedd was making wedding plans with Rita. But she couldn't help but feel threatened by the presence of the two newly converted Rangers. It was bad enough that they knew her wedding to Zedd was a sham. She approached Zedd smiling sweetly... "Zedd, what are you planning to do with those two? Having them here is a bad idea. I can tell it will come back to bite us in the end," Rita said as she made herself comfortable in Zedd's lap. Lord Zedd chuckled at Rita's worry.

"Not to worry my evil pet. They have come to me of their own free will. The snake of Darkness bit Billy. He will never be rid of its taint...and he brought Kim along for the ride. Those two will be the key to the destruction of the Rangers. Billy's intellect and Kim's ability to destroy Tommy guarantees our victory. Just wait until it happens. They are on earth now, tormenting their former friends," Zedd said Rita hopped down to check out what their two allies were up to and was pleasantly surprised to see Billy and Tommy were almost at each others throats.

"Zeddy, come see this...Tommy and Billy are ready to tear each other apart," Rita said. Zedd came over and joined Rita in time to see Billy and Tommy getting ready to come to blows. Tommy had vaulted over to where Billy and Kim had sat, barely restraining himself from trying to disconnect Billy's head from his shoulders.

"How dare you show your faces around here?" Tommy yelled, then realized that everyone was staring at them. Billy leaned back in his chair and smiled at Tommy.

"Why Tommy, I do believe it is a public place and we still live in a free society where a citizen may go where he or she pleases. Is there a problem with us being here?" Billy said in the most reasonable tone of voice, further infuriating his former leader and teammates. Kim giggled, loving the discomfited look on Tommy's face at Billy's refusal to start a screaming match in the Youth Center.

"Why Billy, I think Tommy is still miffed about earlier today. Come on Tommy boy just admit you failed and suck it up. We do have the right to go where ever we please you know. As he said it is still a free country," Kim said, her tone being cold enough to freeze a glacier. Tommy growled, actually growled at the pair. He was a little past being reasonable at that point. He only wanted Billy to pay for turning Kim against him, no matter the cost to his pride or reputation.

"Very well William. Let's take this outside to the usual spot in the park. No holds barred brawl. You and me or are you going to concede before I beat you like a drum?" Tommy sneered at Billy, sure that he wouldn't take his challenge. Apparently he had forgotten that in turning evil, Kim and Billy wouldn't balk at a challenge, especially one coming from Tommy or the other Rangers. Billy stood up and got in Tommy's face...

"Very well Oliver. Meet me there in say 30 minutes. No rules means no begging off, no crying uncle. See you there," Billy said as he reached for Kim's hand and stalked off to the park with Kim in tow. As they headed to the park, Billy was silent thinking of how good it would be to finally put Tommy in his place. Once they arrived at the appointed place, Billy got an idea.

"Kim, can you teleport to my lab and get the black box that is in my table? I was working on it before you came over," Kim nods and heads over to Billy's lab and grabs the small box.

"Here you go, what is it?"

"It's a portable force field generator. I want no interference from the others. I plan to activate it once they are here. They'll be sure to trail along for...support." Billy stopped speaking as he spotted the group heading for them.

"Here, flip the gray switch and hide it in the bushes. I attuned it to their power signatures, so we don't get caught in the force field," Billy said, as he tossed the device to Kim, and then stepped forward to meet Tommy.

"Ok, ready for this Oliver?" Billy said, as he got into a fighting stance, waiting for Tommy to begin.

"You'll be begging for mercy once I get through with you Billy," Tommy retorted.

I cannot take this anymore

I'm saying everything I said before

All these words they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you'll say

But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

Tommy keyed off and delivered an axe kick, attempting to go for Billy's head right off. But Billy did a high block and caught Tommy's foot. Billy twisted it, and sent Tommy spinning to the ground. Tommy quickly regained his composure, and was up in fighting stance once again. Billy was better than he had anticipated. Billy only flashed him a cold, taunting smirk. Tommy launched at Billy again, this time with a fury of punches. Billy blocked them all, putting up an impenetrable defense. And Billy had yet to go on the offense.

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

~*~*~*

"Zeddy! Look at this! Tommy and Billy are fighting in the park! Our little boy blue is playing off quite a strategy," Rita said.

"Yes, Billy is letting Tommy has his fun, and then he will end up pounding Tommy into the ground!" Zedd exclaimed. Goldar also watched the battle, and was very unhappy about it. It seemed that the blue ranger had become quite strong. Goldar knew he was going to have to watch his back.

~*~*~*

Tommy did a drop spin kick, trying to break Billy's defense. Billy evaded it, and did a triple back flip away from Tommy. The sweat beaded on Tommy's forehead as he attempted to catch his breath. Billy saw the opportunity, and decided to begin his offense.

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish I could find a way to disappear

All these thoughts they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again

Just like before...

Tommy bounded for him again, but this time Billy did a spin kick and knocked Tommy aside. Tommy got back up and Billy delivered a roundhouse kick. Tommy fell to his knees. Billy embedded his elbow in Tommy's back, causing Tommy to fall face first to the ground. Tommy grunted in pain, as he struggled to get up again. But Billy was waiting for that, and backhanded him in the face. Then he took the tip of his foot, and kicked Tommy behind the knees, causing him to go down again.

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

"That's it, I'm going in!" Rocky exclaimed, as he bounded for Billy, but was thrown back by the force field.

"What the hell?!" Rocky yelled.

"Billy has a force field surrounding them," Adam said.

"Of course he does, Billy uses his brain, unlike Tommy," Kimberly said. Rocky glared at her, and Kimberly returned his ice-cold glare.

Tommy held his morpher out and called on his power.

"Tigerzord!" Tommy called. Billy smirked, and also held his morpher out.

"Triceratops!" Billy called, as he became the blue ranger. But his uniform had changed slightly. It was almost midnight blue in color. Tommy pulled out Saba, and Billy twirled his power lance expertly. The weapons clashed and clanged, as Billy and Tommy fought again at full strength.

"I'll make you pay for turning Kim against me!" Tommy spat.

"Kimberly is mine now Tommy, why don't you just accept that!" Billy retorted.

"I will defeat you Billy, and turn Kim back to normal," Tommy said.

"No Tommy, I will defeat you. And get over it, Kim doesn't love you, she loves me," Billy replied coldly.

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

Tommy and Billy continued their intense battle until Billy had Tommy on the ropes. Tommy landed flat on his back, and Billy brought the tip of his lance to Tommy's throat.

"Part of me wants to run this lance through you and delete your miserable existence. But the reasonable part of me says that it would be more satisfying to watch you bathe in defeat, and soak in your miserable pity," Billy said as he lifted the lance from his throat. Kim shut the force field off and joined Billy as they teleported away.

Billy and Kim teleported in to find Zedd and Rita waiting their return. "What is your appraisal of my fight, My Lord?" Billy asked as he powered down and bowed slightly to Zedd...

"Very good, Tommy will be off-balance now that he has seen some of your improvements. Wait until you attack them with your newly improved weapons and Zords. Go back to Earth now, your families will be worried. We do not need to arouse any suspicions as of yet. I will summon you soon, for now carry on as you normally would," Zedd dismissed them for the immediate future to carry on with their lives until the next fight.

Meanwhile, in the park... Tommy got up and stood facing away from his friends. He had been bested by the man who stole his woman, in front of his friends. The humiliation was too much for Tommy. He teleported to the Command Center to find a way to counteract the venom. The others were concerned about the fight and even more concerned about Tommy's reaction to losing like that. Rocky followed Tommy after asking the others to resume their normal routines.

"I'll stay with Tommy. You guys should head home or to the Youth Center. I'll call ya if we find anything," Rocky said, as he left in a blaze of scarlet. Rocky arrived to find Tommy rapidly typing away, searching for something that would give him an idea of how to counter act the venom that had turned Billy and Kim to the side of Darkness.

"Need some help?" Rocky asked softly, not wanting to light a fuse on their volatile leader. Tommy pounded the console in frustration as search after search turned up with no result. He looked up at Rocky, anger and frustration all over his face.

"Damn it Rocky, I can't find a way to counteract the venom. I think they really will be evil for good. Damn, damn damn!" Tommy accentuated his last "damn" with a kick to the console as he slumped to the ground in defeat. Rocky shook his head at the predicament they were now in.

Tommy, can we bring the others back? What if Zordon forged new powers for them as well? We'd be up a Ranger if Trini, Zack and Jason were to return. I don't think Billy would fight Jason or Trini, if we could get them new powers...or get the Blue and Pink Powers back.

"No can do Rocky. Those powers are gone for good. So we are gonna be short two teammates for good. Let's just go home and sleep on it," Tommy said dejectedly, as he and Rocky teleport home. The night passed quietly for the Rangers, except for Tommy who couldn't sleep. He was having nightmares about his sweet Kim and the myriad ways he intends to pay Billy back for forcing her to go to him. What Tommy didn't realize is that no one forced Kim to love Billy, he only made her evil.

Billy and Kim were at Kim's house reading up for class, just as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened to them that day. Mrs. Hart wondered why Tommy was suddenly a dirty word to her daughter, and why Billy suddenly changed his appearance.

"Kim, Billy, can I have a word with you?" Kim looked up and smiled, and without looking at Billy, they got up and joined her mom in the den.

"Ok Kim...what happened between you and Tommy? and William, I'm concerned about you as well. You seemed to have changed overnight," Billy barely holds in a laugh at that, since his change was not sudden at all.

"Mom, Tommy isn't the one for me. I realized that the other day. I'd like to be with someone who can remember more than one thing at a time and actually be on time for a date. We're only teenagers, beside I thought you'd be happy that I wasn't with him any more. You never seemed to like him much," Kim added to be sure Tommy couldn't try to win her mother over.

"Very well, while I wasn't wowed by Tommy I do think he's a decent young man. Now for you William, what's with the sudden change in appearance?" she asked

"Nothing to worry about. I had been considering changing my style for some time. It seems sudden I know, but I finally decided to go for it. I must say, I am quite pleased with the results," Billy says as a slight blush creeps up his face. Mrs. Hart doesn't look very happy about it, but at least the kids had given her an answer she could live with. She looked at the clock and then at Billy. It was getting late and they both had school.

"Ok Billy, you guys can finish this up tomorrow? It's getting late and you both have school. Besides your father will worry,"

"Yes ma'am. I'll see you tomorrow Kim, usual time?" Billy asked as he headed to the door.

"Yeah, or pass by around 8:00, we can go together,"

"As you wish. Bye Mrs. Hart, I'll send my father your regards. Good evening," Billy says over his shoulder as he leaves, wishing he could have at least kissed Kim good night. He headed home, wondering what he could do to the Rangers to make them helpless. He was still thinking about it as he flipped on the porch light. The bulb popped and gives him an idea.

"That's it...I'll cut them off from the Grid. No connection means no powers. Their Ninjetti spirit guides still need the power of the Grid to provide them with their abilities... Perfect," Billy smiled to himself as he replaced the bulb and heads in. He didn't let Mrs. Hart know, but his father would be out of town for the week, giving Kim and he ample time alone to get to know each other better.

"This week is shaping up to be much better than I anticipated," Billy said as he sat at his computer to design the blocking device for the command center, and his former friends destruction...
