Hey everyone! Chapter six! I hope you like. Rangers aren't owned by me, the stuff you don't recognize, is. /This/ is telepathy. This Chappy is dedicated to Achyls, hope you like.

~~Chappy 6~~

Once everything was done, Adam, Trini, Zack, Billy, Jason, and 'Queen' Kim (who was growing very confident when it came to bossing people around), met back in the Power Chamber.

"We have informed Dulcea to expect you. However, we have not informed her of your relations or the situation." Zordon told Jason. He nodded, glancing at his sister who was rummaging through her bag muttering under her breath.

"I know I forgot something. I just know I'm forgetting something! But what the hell is it?!" Adam shook his head. Placing a hand on her arm, he smiled gently at her.

"Don't stress about it, Princess. If you did forget something, Dulcea can probably get it for you. Or Kat can send it to you." Kim studied him for a moment before sighing in defeat.

"You're right." She conceded. Jason smiled brightly at the two, noticing that Adam hadn't taken his hand off Kim's arm. Turning to Zordon, he grinned.

"Thanks Zordon. We'll inform you of our progress." He told his mentor. Zordon nodded.

Just before the six young friends disappeared in a multicolored stream, they distinctly heard Kim murmur, "Oh and Adam? I believe it's *My Queen*."

~~~*~~~

Once they landed on the beach, they immediately started in the direction Billy remembered Dulcea had taken to the Plateau. Kim was jumping across a rock when she slipped and fell. She cried out in pain. Her yelp brought the others running; Jason kneeled beside her.

"What's wrong?" he asked. She glared at him.

"Nothing, nothing at all! I'm just sitting here, clinging to my ankle and in bearable pain because its fun!" she snapped. Jason gave her a wry grin.

"In that case." he made to get up and leave when a mental slap made his head ring. He turned back to his sister and scowled.

"Don't give me that look mister! You know sarcasm when you hear it! You taught me the art!" she glared at him. He grinned as he remembered what his father once told him. *Never, EVER, tease, taunt, or be anything less than sympathetic to a woman when she is either PMSing, just waking up, or in pain. The results of such an encounter are too horrific for me to recall.* /I think I better listen to Dad's advice./ he thought, amused. Kim glared at him.

"I heard that!" she accused. He gave her a mischievous smile.

"Okay, okay. Let me see." He forcefully pulled her hands away from her ankle. He winced in sympathy. It was already swollen and extremely bruised. Handling it carefully, he felt it, bending her toes before gently setting it down to rummage through his pack.

"It's not broken; I think it's just badly sprained. Ah! Here it is. Suddenly very glad I remembered this." He muttered as he pulled out a first aid kit. Opening it up, he rummaged around till he found an ace bandage. He quickly and expertly wrapped up her ankle. At the same time, he gave the others tasks.

"Billy, Trini, you two head up to the plateau to let Dulcea know were here and Kim sprained her ankle. Zack, Adam, try and find some sticks long as a staff that we can use as crutches. Kim, you stay still. If worse comes to worse, we can carry you." She sighed in exasperation.

"I'm not completely decapitated here. I do still have one good leg and I will not be carried around like a sack of potatoes." She informed him. Jason just shook his head. Adam and Zack and Billy and Trini left, the latter taking Kim's pack with them.

A couple minutes later, a yelp from Trini caught there attention. Jason stood up and raced to the duo leaving Kimberly behind. She watched amused as Zack and Adam raced past her to help. She gave a dry smile.

"Well, at least I know they care about me."

~~~*~~~

Trini kept looking behind her, biting her lip. The sprain looked bad, what if it didn't heal quickly? It would be hard for Kim if she couldn't walk around. And what about the powers? What if she needed to pass a test or something in order to get them? She felt a hand on her shoulder and glanced at the face of the owner. She immediately yelped in surprise.

The owner of the hand was a fairly tall woman, with curly blonde hair and hazel looking eyes. She was garbed in what looked like a green bikini. She absently remembered a post card Kim had sent her after the Ooze incident which had included a very detailed description of the Master Warriors attire. She blinked.

"Dulcea?" Both women turned to Billy, Adam, and a drooling Jason and Zack. The aforementioned woman nodded her head, a smile gracing her features.

"Young cub, it is good to see you again. You as well tadpole." The four originals laughed at the blush that crossed Adam's features. Dulcea gave them a puzzled frown. Billy just waved her questions away. Motioning towards his friends, he smiled.

"Dulcea, this is Jason Scott, Zack Taylor, and Trini Kwan, the first red, black, and yellow rangers respectively. Guys, this is Dulcea." He introduced them. Dulcea smiled at them, but her eyes looked troubled. She studied Jason for a long time.

"Lady Dulcea is something wrong?" he murmured politely. She blinked. Shaking her softly, she gave him a distracted smile.

"You remind me of someone I knew long ago. One of my best friends and former teammates. He's gone now though." She sighed sadly. The rangers glanced at each other. Jason swallowed a painful lump that had formed in his throat. He knew who she was talking about. He wondered idly if Dulcea had telepathic powers too cause she didn't seem to know his thoughts. An angry yell broke the somber mood that had befallen the group. Jason's eyes widened when he heard his name.

"Jason Lee Scott, when I get my hands on you, you're gonna wish you had never been born! Get your ass over here and help me!" she continued ranting as the small group walked over to the fallen brunette. Upon seeing Dulcea, however, her voice took on a more pleasant tone.

"Hello Dulcea!" He greeted the kneeling Priestess brightly. "Long time no see! How've you been? As you can see, with the exception of falling off that damn rock over there, spraining my ankle, getting ditched by my best friends, and then having to brush an icky spider crawling on my leg, I'm just dandy!" She glared at her sheepish teammates.

"Sorry Kim. We thought Trini had been in trouble." Jason confessed. Her eyes flashed.

"You thought Trini was being attacked so you left me here, not able to walk, when there might be baddies around? Real smart thinking ya got there bro." she told him. He opened and closed his mouth a couple times. /I hadn't thought of that./ He pathed to her. She rolled her eyes.

"Well duh, Mr. Goldfish! And what if it hadn't been Dulcea and I had been killed while I lay here defenseless? What would happen then? I know, I know, I know!" She waved her hand erratically in the air. "Phaedos would be out of a Queen until you got married!" she snapped at him.

She wasn't truly mad at him, annoyed yes, mad no. But seeing the usually unflappable Jason flap was so much fun! Suddenly a startled gasp made her snap her head towards the Master Warrior. Jason groaned. Kim looked between her irritated brother to her new found aunt, and she realized her boo boo.

"You haven't told her yet, have you?" She asked him blithely. He opened his mouth to respond but she turned to Dulcea and gave her a very awkward hug.

"Hiya auntie Dulcea. I'm Kimberly, also known as Artemis, your beautiful, talented, and smart niece. Oh and he's Jason, also known as Apollo, your slow, dim-witted nephew." she carelessly motioned towards her glowering twin.

Dulcea eyes filled with tears as she stared at her niece. /She looks so much like Eowyn. And he like Elrond. Oh sister-mine, I miss you so. I promise you, no harm will befall your children while I walk and breathe. I'll take care of your kin like they were my own./ she vowed to the spirit of her long dead sister. A small voice in the back of her head piped up. /And properly name them! By the Gods, what kind of names are Artemis and Apollo?/ She gave a bewildered smile as Kim and Jason both burst out laughing. Adam just shook his head at the master warrior.

"Telepathy. You never know what's going on in there heads." He shrugged. Kim gave him an impish smile as Dulcea suddenly realized that they had one of there fathers gift. Jason explained the names.

"On Earth, Artemis and Apollo were a God and Goddess in Greek mythology. Artemis was of the night, Apollo of the day. They were also twins. Since no one knew our true names, they just gave us those." Dulcea smiled, nodding her understanding.

"They are good names; however, they are not fitting for the royalty of Phaedos. Give me a few hours, and I will have come up with something more appropriate. Now, let's get you to the Plateau. I believe you will find it much more comfortable there." She beamed at her kin. Kim smiled gratefully.

Not allowing her to walk with a pair of sticks, Dulcea had Jason and Adam help her up to the plateau. With the strength the two possessed, it wasn't that hard. However, by the time they entered the ancient ruins, Kim, Jason, and Adam were exhausted. Dulcea led them down a small trail and into a well hidden cave that held two or three couches, chairs, tables, and an assortment of other things. Down a Phaedosian made tunnel, they came to two sets of doors.

"In time of crisis, the royal family would come here, while hundreds of others would go to the civilian caves. The ruins are a holy site that only that of the royal family are allowed to enter. A few others are allowed as well, such as rangers and the royal priest. But no one else. Kimberly and Trini, you may stay in this room. Adam and Jason, this is yours to use. Finally, Zack and Billy, this will be your bed chambers. As much as I would love to hear more about you two, I suggest you all rest. The next couple of days will be busy; you'll need all the rest you can get." She told them. They nodded and Jason an Adam quickly brought Kim into her room, Trini right behind them.

The room they were in was done in various shades of purple as well as a generous amount of white. The room was separated into two levels. The lower level was obviously a sitting room. Several couches and divans were placed strategically around. Two large desks stood pressed up against one wall, untouched papers settled over their tops. A cupboard and a small machine that closely resembled that of a Star Trek replicator stood in one corner that also held a small table and three chairs. In another corner was a consol that looked like her zord consol, minus the steering stick. There was also a flat screen in the middle of all the buttons and Kim absently wondered if it was a communications consol. It certainly looked like one.

Unfortunately, her 'helpers' dragged her up a small flight of stairs and into the upper part of the suite before she could investigate further. Once on the landing, she looked around. There were two beds, both resembling that of Princess Jasmine's bed in the movie Aladdin. They were placed on opposite ends of the room. Two dressers stood side by side near one wall, while two wardrobes stood on either side of the dressers. She looked down and studied a small rug with the figure of a beautiful woman riding a slightly transparent unicorn. A small door near the back caught her attention as Jason and Adam placed her on the bed closest to the stairs. Jason saw where she was looking and quickly poked his head inside.

"A bathroom. We're gonna let you rest. Get some sleep, you need it." he told her before walked down the stairs. Adam hesitated. Kim saw it and beckoned him over.

"Adam? What's wrong? You must be exhausted." She commented. He shrugged.

"Nothing. I'm just.worried. That sprain looks really bad." He told her. /I don't like seeing you hurt./ went through his mind, but he didn't say it out loud. Unfortunately, Kim heard it anyway.

"Adam? Why don't you like to see me hurt?" she asked quietly. He went red and stood up.

"I'll-I'll let you rest." He stammered before racing down the stairs and out of the room. Frowning, she mentally called to Jason.

/Jason? Do you know what's wrong with Adam? He's acting really strange./ she asked him. A few minutes later, he answered.

/Kimmie, if you can't figure it out for yourself, them I'm not gonna tell you. I will, however, give you a clue. Think about Tommy./ he told her. She frowned again.

/What does Tommy have to do with this?/ she asked him but no response came her way. She sighed. Suddenly, she sat straight up in bed and scowled.

/Jason!/ she mentally groaned. Jason's reply was instant.

/What?! Are you hurt? Is your leg bothering you?/ she shook her head before remembering he couldn't see her.

/NO! I just remembered what I forgot!/ She told him. When Jason replied, he sounded exasperated.

/Don't scare me like that! I nearly had a heart attack./ He scolded her. Kim whimpered.

/Jason, this is serious! I forgot my makeup!/ she wailed.

The seven other occupants of Phaedos, which included the far away Ninjor, simultaneously burst out laughing, mentally and physically. Kim pouted.

/"I get no love."/
