Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf
Chapter 14: A Thousand Miles
The telephone rang at Billy's house. Kat and Billy lay sprawled on the couch, locked in a sensual kiss. Kat was busy unbuttoning Billy's shirt, while his hands were lost in her silky strands. Billy reluctantly broke the
kiss and reached for the phone.
"Hello?" Billy answered.
"Hello son," Billy's father greeted.
"Hey dad, what's up?" Billy asked. Kat smirked and began to kiss Billy's chest,
making Billy squirm under her.
"Well, I'm afraid I'm going to need you to come get me at the airport. My car
decided to break down while I was away, so I'll have to take it in tomorrow.
I'm sorry to interrupt your evening, I know you are probably spending it with
Kat," Peter Cranston said knowingly.
"That's okay Dad, I'll bring Kat along. We'll be down soon," Billy replied.
"Thanks son," he said, as he hung up. Billy hung up as well, and eyed his
girlfriend.
"You make it very hard to concentrate," Billy told her, as he sat up.
"That's good to know," Kat replied, as she began to button his shirt with a
smirk.
"That's an evil smirk, what are you thinking about?" Billy asked, as he helped
her up.
"Just about what would have happened had the phone not interrupted us," Kat
replied. Billy blushed a deep crimson, making Kat giggle.
"Come on wolf-boy," Kat said, as she took his hand and they left.

Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
~*~*~*
Kat and Billy picked up Peter and then Billy swung by Kat's house to
drop her off for the night. Billy parked and got out to walk his girlfriend to her
door.
"I love you," Kat said.
"Love you too," Billy replied, as he kissed her goodnight.
"See ya tomorrow," Kat said, as she went inside. Billy turned and got in his
car.
"She's something special, you better hang on to that one," Peter said.
"Don't worry dad, I plan to," Billy replied, as he drove them home.

{The next day; after classes}
Rocky happily stuffed his books in his locker.
"Can you believe we actually got out of Ms. Applebee's class without
homework?" Rocky said.
"Yea, this is the third time in the last two weeks. She sure has been in a good
mood," Adam replied.
"I think it's because she's dating someone," Aisha replied.
"Who?" Tommy asked.
"Well, we saw her with Lt. Stone," Kim replied.
"Let's hope it works out so we can continue to not have homework," Kat
replied.
"Yea, who's up for a game of BBall at the park?" Tommy asked.
"Cool, 4 on 4!" Rocky replied, as they headed for the park.
The group walked through the park on their way to the basketball court.
Suddenly, five unfamiliar creatures appeared before them. Each was at least
seven feet in height and wore an armor, showing that they were without a
doubt warriors. Their faces looked somewhat humanoid, but their teeth were
unnaturally large and sharp.
"Oh shit," Billy uttered.
"What is it Billy? Do you know who they are?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, they're Cyrians," Billy replied.
"What the heck would they be doing here?" Kim wondered.
"I'm afraid that we're going to find out, and I don't think I'm going to like the
answer," Billy replied.
"Billy Cranston, you are the one responsible for our failed mission on Aquitar,"
the center alien spoke, appearing to be the leader.
"What you were doing was wrong, someone had to stop you," Billy replied
confidently.
"Our government lost a lot of money when we didn't harvest Aquitar. You will
pay the price in your blood," he threatened. Kat clutched his arm tightly.
"Seize him," the leader stated.
"I don't think so! White Falcon!" Tommy called.
"Black Frog!" Adam called.
"Pink Crane!" Kim called.
"Yellow Bear!" Aisha called.
"Red Ape!" Rocky called.
"Blue Wolf!" Billy and Kat called.
"Tanya! Take cover!" Adam called. Tanya nodded and took cover behind some
bushes. One Cyrian took on Tommy, while another took on Rocky. The third
one took on Adam, while the fourth took on Kim and Aisha. The leader
approached Billy and Kat, aiming to capture Billy.
"Your resistance is useless, surrender and at least save your friends from pain,"
he said.
"Surrender without a fight? I don't think so," Billy replied. The rangers found
that the Cyrians were extremely strong and they were having trouble keeping
on their feet. The lead alien knocked Kat out of the way and attacked Billy with
full force. The blue ranger fought his hardest, but the Cyrian leader caught his
arm and pulled him into a stranglehold. He held up a device and jammed it
into Billy's side. The young wolf felt jolts of electricity course through his body.
He cried out as the energy caused him to demorph and fall to his knees.
"Billy!" Kat called. The alien bound Billy's hands and grabbed a handful of
his hair to pull him up from his knees. Billy groaned in pain, as he was put
back in a painful stranglehold. As his last ditch effort, Billy tossed his morpher
to Adam's feet to prevent it from falling into evil hands.
"We have what we came for, so we shall leave now," he said, as the five of
disappeared with Billy.
"NOOO! Billeeeeeeeee!" Kat cried, as she stumbled. Adam and Rocky caught
her and held her up as they teleported to the power chamber.
~*~*~*
"What are you going to do with me?!" Billy spat.
"You will come back and stand trial on Cyrius. Then you will experience the
traditional three days of torture, before you are either executed or auctioned off
to the highest bidder. In your case, since your genius precedes you, you will be
auctioned off to the highest bidder. There are many getting in line to own one
such as you," the alien said, as he took Billy in the cell and shackled him to the
wall.
~*~*~*
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight
"Zordon! Do you know where they're taking Billy!" Kat said frantically.
"The Cyrians will be taking him back to their home planet, where he will stand
trial. Those who stand trial before the Cyrians are tortured for three days
before they are either executed of auctioned off to the highest bidder. And I
am almost positive that they will be auctioning Billy off. Once they do this, it
may be very difficult to find him," Zordon said.
"We can't just give up! We have to go after him!" Kat cried.
"DO NOT WORRY KATHERINE, I WILL CONTACT ALLIES TO THE EARTH AND
INFORM THEM THAT WE HAVE HAD A RANGER KIDNAPPED. THEY WILL KEEP
THEIR EYES OPEN AND WE MAY BE ABLE TO TRACK HIM DOWN," Zordon said.
Tanya and Aisha comforted Kat, while Zordon made contact.
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever think of me
Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in
Your precious memory
After a while, Zordon spoke to the rangers again.
"RANGERS, THE PRINCE OF TRIFORIA HAS BECOME GREATLY CONCERNED
ABOUT BILLY'S KIDNAPPING. I AM PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION THROUGH
NOW," Zordon said.
"Greeting rangers of Earth. I am prince Trey of Triforia, also known as the Gold
Ranger. I am very distraught about your loss. I am on my way to earth and then
we shall seek him out together," Trey said.
"That's wonderful that you're going through all that trouble just for us,"
Tommy replied.
"Rangers must stick together, but that is not the only reason. My twin brother,
Tres, was captured just two years ago by the Cyrians. They tortured him and
then sold him to Dark Spector, where he died in his captivity. I have been
looking for an opportunity to finally right the wrongful death of my brother,"
Trey replied, as the transmission ended.
Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by,oh
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight
"Zordon, we have a problem. We just can't leave the earth unprotected," Rockysaid.
"I'm going no matter what," Kat said with determination lining her jaw.
"Kat...I don't think that's such a good idea," Tommy argued.
"Try and stop me," Kat warned. Tommy winced.
And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I,I don't wanna let this go
I, I've fallen...
earth still has five rangers protecting it," Kim spoke.
"Who?" Aisha asked.
"Jason, Zack, and Trini," Kim stated.
"ALPHA, LOCATE JASON, ZACK, AND TRINI. TELEPORT THEM HERE AS SOON AS
THEIR LOCATION PERMITS IT," Zordon ordered.
"A few minutes later, the three former rangers arrived in the power chamber,
dazed and confused.
"Where are we?" Trini asked.
"Tommy?" Jason asked.
"What's going on?" Zack asked.
Tommy exchanged glances with the others and took it upon himself to explain
their situation. Trini walked over to Katherine and pulled her into a hug.
"Billy's told me so much about you in his letters. You've been good for him and
I promise that we're going to get him back," Trini said. Kat hugged her back
tightly, relishing in her soothing voice.
"It's okay to cry," Trini whispered. At that moment, the dam broke and the
young girl became lost in tears. The former yellow ranger patted her back and
rocked her.

"Are you kidding? That's my little brother up there," Jason replied.
"I'm with Jase. To hell with the peace conference, family is way more
important," Zack replied.
"Thank you all so much," Kat said.
"No thanks necessary," Jason said with a smile.
"TREY WILL BE ARRIVING IN A FEW HOURS. ALPHA WILL TELEPORT YOU BACK
LONG ENOUGH TO PACK SOME THINGS. KATHERINE, YOU SHOULD TELEPORT
HOME FOR SOME THINGS AS WELL," Zordon replied. They nodded and
teleported away.
~*~*~*
The Cyrian leader pushed the staff into Billy's back, forcing him forward.
They had just arrived on Cyrius and he was being taken before the Cyrian king.
They arrived in the throne room and Billy was forced to his knees before the
king.
"Sire, we have captured Billy Cranston. The one responsible for our failure on
Aquitar," he reported.
"Very good, take him to the cell and begin the 72 hours of torture!" the king
commanded. After that, the blue ranger was hauled to his feet and taken to the
cell. Billy almost wished he still had his morpher, but he had purposely tossed
it to Adam before his capture, fearing that it would fall into evil hands. The
Cyrian shackled his arms above his head and tore his shirt off. Billy could hear
the crack of a whip behind him and knew what his first source of torture would
be.
~*~*~*
The Triforian prince's massive Pyramidus zord docked inside the holding
bay, while Trey was teleported to the power chamber.
"Greetings power rangers," Trey said.
"Welcome Trey," Zordon said.
"Who shall be accompanying me upon this rescue mission?" he asked.
"I will be, along with Jason, Zack, and Trini. The other active rangers will be
staying to protect the earth," Kat said. Trey stepped toward her and placed a
hand on her shoulder.
"We will get him back," he told her, seeing the pain in her eyes.
"Thank you," Kat replied.
The five of them boarded Pyramidus and left the earth's atmosphere for the
planet Cyrius.
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time, would pass us by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
If I could just hold you... tonight
