Billy and Kim arrived as Zedd ordered Serpentera to take off and return to the moon, which teleported Vampirus back to the moon-base as well. Goldar whirled and looked astounded at Zedd's command.

"Lord Zedd, we have them under our thumbs, why retreat now?" Goldar demanded angrily. Billy smirked and looked over at Goldar with a maniacal gleam in his eyes.

"Sun Tzu, the Art of War. He who allows the enemy to assume false victory has assured his own. I'll assume you never read it since you never managed to beat us," Billy said, as he let his gaze roam over Goldar with nothing but ill intent in his look. Goldar had enough, Zedd running from an assured victory and this insolent human attempting to humiliate him was too much for the simian warrior. He pulled his sword and lunged at Billy, who created an Ice shield and deflected Goldar's mad dash. Billy turned to face his opponent, a blade of Crystalline Ice with an electric charge blazing through it in his hand.

"Now you simian freak, you pay for each time you insulted me by word or by deed!" Billy dove in a parried nicely. Well enough in fact to sever Goldar's head from his neck, the only part that wasn't armored. He flicked the sword into non-existence, took Kim's hand and headed to their quarters.

"We are tired, please let us know when we arrive at the moon," Kim says as she is led away to their chambers.

~*~*~* On Earth, the Rangers were all taking turns in the med-bay, sore and injured from their sound thrashing at the hands of their former companions. The only reason Tommy wasn't trying to throttle something was because he still had very little feeling in his legs from the icy treatment that he was subjected to. The others were quiet, wondering if they would have to resort to actually killing Kim and Billy to get them off their backs. However, they couldn't escalate the fight no matter how badly they wanted to.

~*~*~* Billy and Kim were locked in a heated kiss once they had reached their quarters. Kim broke the kiss, and began to unbutton his shirt. "That was wonderful how you finally put an end to that imbecile," Kim said, as she began to kiss and nip at Billy's firm chest.

"Yes, my love. And Zedd and Rita are next in line," Billy said as he removed her top and discarded her bra. Billy probed his tongue lightly along her neck, as he kissed and nipped his way down. He came to her collarbone, and continued his way down until he was suckling and nipping at her tender breasts. Kimberly moaned in pleasure at his actions as she wove her fingers into his hair. Billy moved back up and captured her lips again. He lifted her up, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, as he walked to the bed. Billy laid her down, as they shed the rest of their clothes.

"I need you Billy," Kimberly rasped. Billy complied as entered her, which earned him a satisfied cry of pleasure. Kimberly wrapped her legs around him, as he moved in and out of her with a steady rhythm. They climaxed together and snuggled close as they both settled down. The two exhausted lovers fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.

~*~*~* "Aren't you going to reprimand him Zeddy?! He killed Goldar! Goldar can be dolt brain, but he's been our loyal servant for over 10,000 years!" Rita ranted.

"That may be so Rita, but did you see how effortlessly Billy put away one of the fiercest warriors in the galaxy? How long do you think the rangers will last against something like that? He and Kimberly were simply toying with the rangers in their most recent battle. We are much better off, and Goldar did attack Billy. Billy could do nothing but retaliate," Zedd reasoned. Rita had a very uneasy feeling, but she kept her mouth shut for the time being.

~*~*~* The Rangers on Earth sat around stunned as they realized that the dark version of their Ninjetti power was nothing to play with. Everyone has recovered from their injuries and was checking for signs of their enemies on the Earth. Tommy was stalking around the Command center like a caged animal, not bothering to keep a lid on his temper. The others left after checking over the scans one last time for the night.

None of the Rangers felt up to trying to get Tommy to calm down, and maybe letting him alone would help. The night passed quietly, with the Vampirus monster hibernating on Serpentera until the next time they attack the Earth. Billy and Kim head back to their homes, knowing they can't be missing overnight. Billy saluted Zedd as he prepared to leave.

"Farewell for now my liege. I am at your beck and call when we next attack the Rangers," Billy said, with a cold smile and small bow as he teleported back to Earth with Kim hand in hand. As they were walking to Kim's house, Adam spotted them, and he tried to talk to Kim. I f only to convince himself that his friends really are beyond help.

"Kim, Billy please...I just want to ask you...are you really enjoying what you are doing to us, have you really turned against us your friends?" Billy laughed at Adam, as Kim saunters up to him with dangerous gleam in her eyes.

"Why little frog you ask silly questions, surely you can tell by our actions we are no friends of yours. Now leave before I make Frog Leg fricassee out of you," Kim said as she flips a streak of flame at Adam's feet, laughing maniacally as he scampered away from her. "Fine Kim, Billy, have it your way. Next we meet, it's as enemies," Adam teleported off in a blaze of black energy. Billy snickered cruelly as they continued on to Kim's house.

"Stupid of him really, he always was an idealist. Sucks for him now don't it?" Billy said, as he escorted Kim to her door and settled for a brief hug as he noticed her mother watching out of the window. "Farewell love, when we have more privacy I'll greet you properly," he said, as he motioned to the window. Billy waved at Kim's mom and headed home, a little disgruntled that he didn't get to kiss her goodnight. Billy entered his home to find his father waiting for him to walk in, and he didn't look too happy.

"Nice of you to come home William. How's Kim?" Billy stops mid-stride to look at his father.

"Evening to you father. What do you mean how is Kimberly?" Billy looked at his father innocently. He had given his father no reason to think that anything was going on between him and Kim; even if he had, he was nearly 18. Hank looked at his son, a scowl on his normally calm face.

"Since when did you two start dating or in more vulgar terms start fucking around on Tommy?"

Billy turned to face his father, his rage barely concealed at what must have transpired to have this accusation levied against him.

"Father, why are you accusing me like this? What have I done to you to make you suddenly mistrust me?" Hank stood up and stands face to face with his son.

"William, I ran into Tommy today, and he was in tears. I asked him what was wrong and he told me that he caught you and Kim in a rather compromising position and you both laughed it off as if hurting a good friend was a damn good joke," Billy started to laugh, snickering at first then he goes into hysterics on the floor.

"Dad...come on. You believe him over your own son. That's rich. Dad, you raised me better than that you know. Tommy is just mad cause' they broke up. I didn't think he would stoop this low though," Billy said. Hank stood still, wondering if his son was telling the truth or playing him for a fool.

"Very well, stand up and look me in the eye while you tell me you and Kim weren't caught in the act by Tommy. If you can do that, I'll believe you, since you could never tell a lie without being stuttering or breaking eye contact,"

Billy picked himself up off the floor and looked his father square in the eye. "Father, Kim and I have NEVER been caught in a compromising situation by Tommy. I swear my life on it. Now may I be excused? I need to calm down," Hank nods, wondering what the hell is going on with Billy and his friends.

Tommy and Kim suddenly breaking up, and the accusation from Tommy. Billy heads to his room, shutting the door before he flies in a mental tirade at Tommy. Meanwhile...Kim was getting the same treatment at home from her mother while Tommy was sitting in his room in the dark, trying to think of ways to get back at Billy and Kim. ~*~*~* The next morning, Billy and Kimberly went to school as usual. Tommy practically had a tempter tantrum in the hallway, but Rocky and Adam were able to restrain him.

"Guys, I think we should tell their parents what has happened," Tommy said.

"We can't do that Tommy, our covers would be blown too," Adam reasoned. Tommy pounded his fist into the locker. Kim pulled Billy into a corner and kissed his passionately.

"I so love seeing Tommy so insecure," Kim said.

"Me too, I would have kissed your right in front of him, but after the incidents with our parents, we must be more careful.

"Okay, so only kisses in private, and lovemaking only in our quarters on the moon," Kim whispered. Billy smirked.

"We must go there after school," Billy said.

"You bet we are," Kim replied, as they trailed off to class. Classes ended for the day, and Billy and Kim wasted no time in teleporting to the moon palace.

"Lord Zedd, Kim and I wish to unleash our new zords upon Angel Grove," Billy said, with a bow.

"Yes, I will send Vampirus to fight the rangers on the ground, while you two attack with your zords!" Zedd exclaimed. Vampirus, Rito, and the Tengus teleported to the park to start an attack, while Billy and Kim prepped their zords.

~*~*~* The four rangers walked to the youth center together in silence. Tommy seemed to be in a permanent bad mood. It became worse when the Tengus, Rito, and the Vampirus monster intercepted their path.

"Hello power punks! Time to rumble!" Rito said.

"It's Morphin Time!" Tommy called.

"White Ranger Power!" Tommy called.

"Black Ranger Power!" Adam called.

"Yellow Ranger Power!" Aisha called.

"Red Ranger Power!" Rocky called. Adam and Aisha took on the Tengus, while Rocky handled Vampirus, and Tommy handled Rito.

~*~*~* "Ready for this my love?" Billy asked, as they stood beside each other in the park, only a few miles away from where the rangers were fighting.

"I can't wait," Kim replied.

"It's Morphin Time!" Billy called.

"Power of Fire! Pink Crane!" Kim called.

"Power of Ice! Blue Wolf!" Billy called.

"We call on the power of the Ninjetti!

"Storm Crane zord, power up!" Kim called.

"Dire Wolf zord, power up!" Billy called.

~*~*~* The battle was going nowhere, but suddenly a ferocious growl and a fierce bird cry attracted everyone's attention. Billy's Dire Wolf trampled through downtown Angel Grove, while Kim's Storm Crane zord flew through the sky, trailing a fire tail. Tommy growled.

"Rocky, you and Aisha stay here and deal with them. Adam, you take on Billy, I'll take Kim," Tommy said.

"Be careful Tommy," Adam said.

"Oh I will. Billy may have beaten me, but Kimberly won't," Tommy growled.

"Black Frog Ninja zord, Power up!" Adam called.

"White Falcon Ninja zord, Power up!" Tommy called. Billy snickered evilly as he saw through Tommy's divide and conquer methodology.

"Very well little frog, you said when next we meet it would be as enemies. Let's see how you like being put on ice," Billy fired a volley of ice spikes at the Ninja Frog zord, getting one knee joint and getting a couple of spikes embedded in the roof of the zord.

"Well Kermit, how do you like my new ice spikes?" Billy asked as he maneuvered the Dire Wolf Zord to grab the nearly severed knee joint of the Frog zord, As he was about to fling Adam into the nearest building, he is stopped by a piercing scream.

"Billy! I've been hit! Damn," Kim screamed in frustration as her Storm Crane zord starts to spiral wildly. Tommy had let loose with everything he had in a blind rage. Once he heard Kim calling for Billy, anything resembling good sense left his mind. He let loose with another volley of missiles aimed directly at the cockpit.

Billy released the Frog Zord and sent a wall of ice directly in front of Kim's position, speeding over to her projected landing spot. He caught her Crane zord in the jaws of his Wolf Zord, cursing Tommy using every swear that he knew. Once Kim was teleported into the safety of his Zord, he whirled the Dire wolf in the direction of Tommy's Falcon Zord.

"Oliver! Face me, how dare you try to kill her! You fucking coward. Zord to Zord, man to man, show yourself Oliver!" Billy screamed at the top of his lungs, locking all of his weapons on Tommy's coordinates.

"Let's see how he likes a taste of his own medicine," Billy hit the fire button that unleashed his entire arsenal at once. Homing missiles, Sonic Disruptor beams, Electromagnetic Pulse missiles, and Heat seeking Vulcan laser turrets all focused on the Falcon Zord. Billy laughed maniacally as the Zord took massive damage, spiraling to the ground in a beautiful arc.

"Now, how does it feel to see your beloved white knight on the way to hell Rangers? I hope there's enough left for a funeral, I'm gonna enjoy doing the tango over his grave," Billy said as he took Kim's hand, as they watch the Falcon Zord plummet to it's demise. The question on everyone's mind was asking if Tommy survive the assault. The remaining good Rangers rush over to the wreckage, hoping that Tommy is at the least alive, or if he died, that he at least went quickly. Adam and Rocky start pulling shards of debris away, looking for signs of Tommy or parts there of. Rocky saw his gloved hand, weakly clenching in the waning sunlight, refusing to give up.

"Alpha, we need emergency medical evac now!" Rocky all but screamed into his communicator as the wreckage of the Falcon Zord and Tommy's broken body was teleported back to the Command Center. After seeing their former comrades in arms teleport away, Billy and Kim head back to the moon base. Billy started to check Kim over for any sign of injury, ignoring Zedd's excited babbling at Tommy's demise. Once Billy was satisfied that Kim was ok, he turned his attention to Zedd.

"One down, 3 to go Zedd. We are heading back to Earth; our parents are getting suspicious about our disappearances. No need to let them on about what we are really doing. Not yet, anyway, besides I want to see the news about the White Ranger's death in battle today. Zedd stopped jumping around in joy. There was something cold and frankly scary in the way Billy was looking at him and speaking as well. It's as if the attack on Kim broke down whatever was keeping him in check, and under his thumb.

*I am so glad I'm not the Rangers now.* Zedd thought

"Go my warriors; take some time to recover from this battle. It will take time to repair your Zord Kimberly. I will be in contact once we are ready to move on to the next phase of our plan. Good work my Ninjetti," Billy and Kim only nodded curtly and teleported out, while the Rangers wait in anxious silence about the fate of their leader.

Billy walked Kim to her house and headed in to catch the early evening news. He's still glued to the TV when his father walked in.

"Evening son, what are you looking at?" Hank asks his son, wondering what he was so intent on catching on the news.

"...and today in the top story of the evening it seems the White Ranger has met his end in battle against two evil Rangers. The Blue and Pink Rangers have been on a campaign of terror for the last few weeks that have left nothing but mass destruction in their wake. This footage was shot by a local worker at Angel Grove Securities Firm. No announcement has been made by the Rangers about the White Rangers condition, but it is the unofficial opinion that there is no way anyone could have survived the destructive volley from the Blue Ranger's Zord. If we are given any updates, we will break in with them. This is your local anchor, Jenny Zahn signing off for this evening,"

Billy hopped up and brushed past his father, impatient about the status of Tommy. True, Ranger or not, no one should have been able to survive that volley of weaponry he launched at Tommy, but he had a bad habit of always bouncing back from things like this when Zedd threw them at him.

"William! What is wrong with you? You are ignoring everything I said since I walked in," Hank demanded impatiently of his son. Billy whirled and looked at his father.

"Sorry dad, I was just concerned about the latest attack. It seems as if the evil Rangers are playing for keeps. It just worries me a little if they are going to start killing people. Anyway, I have a lot of work to do for school. Night dad," Billy dashed upstairs and started his physics homework, wondering if Tommy did indeed live.

Meanwhile in the Command Center. the Rangers are finally called by Zordon to let them know the status of Tommy's injuries. "RANGERS, I HAVE GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS. TOMMY WILL LIVE, BUT HIS INJURIES HAVE RENDERED HIM USELESS TO THE TEAM. HE ALSO ATTEMPTED TO KILL KIMBERLY. EVEN IF SHE IS EVIL, KILLING OR ATTEMPTING TO KILL IS A VIOLATION OF THE RANGER CODE. I AM FORCED TO STRIP HIS POWERS FROM HIM FOR THIS OFFENCE. I AM RECALLING JASON TO ACTION TO LEAD THE TEAM.

IN ADDITION, UNTIL WE CAN EITHER STOP BILLY AND KIMBERLY OR NEGATE THEIR POWERS, I AM GOING TO ASK ZACHARY AND TRINI TO RESUME ACTIVE DUTY ONCE THEY RETURN TO ANGEL GROVE. YOU MAY SEE TOMMY SOON; HE IS STILL BEING TREATED FOR HIS INJURIES. I HAVE INFORMED HIM OF HIS PUNISHMENT. AS SOON AS HE IS HEALED, AND I CAN GET JASON HERE THE POWER TRANSFER WILL BEGIN AND JASON MUST QUEST FOR THE GREAT POWER. I WILL CONTACT YOU AS SOON AS TOMMY IS CONSCIOUS,"

The rangers all stood stock still, shocked that their numbers had fallen to three within a matter of days of getting their new powers. Adam sighed and scrubbed his hand over his face in a sign of utter defeat.

"I knew he would do that. Now we're down to three, and we will be lucky if Billy doesn't go on some rampage cause Tommy tried to take out Kim in a blind fit of temper. I say we call it a night and at least get some rest. Despite all this we do have school tomorrow," The others just nodded wearily and teleported out, letting Alpha take care of Tommy, hoping that Jason, Trini and Zack get back to action really soon.
