Chapter 11

  Billy slammed his fist against the command board, "Why can't we find her?"

  Zordon spoke out, "IT SEEMS THAT BEFORE GOLDAR TOOK RYLA, HE WAS ABLE TO DISLODGE HER COMMUNICATOR."

  Kim stepped forward, "But . . . where is she?"

  Alpha shook his arms in the air, "Ai-yai-yai! I cannot find her! This is terrible!"

  "But . . . once they realize she's not a ranger, what will happen?" Adam tried to be the voice of reason, but Zordon only spoke against it.

  "I AM AFRAID IT IS NOT THAT SIMPLE ADAM."

  Tommy didn't understand, "What do you mean Zordon?"

  "ALPHA, PLEASE BRING OUT THE CASE THAT NINJOR SENT TO US."

  Alpha nodded, "Yes Zordon," before skidding off to retrieve it.

  "What box Zordon?" Billy asked him a bit impatiently.

  "IT WILL ALL BE REVEALED IN TIME."

  Billy nodded and sighed heavily. Tommy pressed his hand against his shoulder. Alpha then came toddling back, a beautiful engraved case in his hands, "Here it is Zordon."

  Aisha shook her head, "I don't understand what this box has to do with why Rita would want Ryla."

  Alpha opened the lid to show a gold coin inside. Billy looked over it and then picked it up, "Another power coin?"

  "YES RANGERS. NINJOR SENT THIS FOR OUR PROTECTION JUST AFTER THE ATTACK WITH VAMPIRIS. IT IS A VERY SPECIAL POWER COIN."

  "Indeed it is Rangers!"

  The Power Rangers spun around to be faced with Ninjor himself. Kim shook her head in disbelief, "Ninjor, what are you doing here?"

  "Zordon contacted me that we had found the second to the Lioness Ninjetti coin."

  Tommy came closer, and took the coin from Billy, "Lioness Ninjetti coin? Why didn't you tell us of this . . . other coin?"

  Ninjor nodded and retrieved the coin from Tommy's fingers, "It is a very volatile coin. If used incorrectly, it could spell Horrible Disaster! Only one person before this has had the correct Ninjetti power to control the powers."

  "Who?" Adam leaned against the control board.

  "My dear sister . . . Dulcea. She now resides on Phados, she and I are the keepers of the great Ninjetti powers."

  Billy's eyes widened, he was beginning to understand. Kim did not, "I still do not get it . . ."

  Ninjor nodded, "Zordon has informed me of something very important."

  All of the Ranger began to feel a bit on impatience, "What?"

  Zordon took over, "IT SEEMS THAT RYLA APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME ENERGY THAT CAN SUSTAIN THE LIONESS NINJETTI COIN. IN ALL OF OUR SCANS OVER THE GLOBE, SHE IS THE ONLY MATCH WE HAVE FOUND."

  Billy nodded, "Because she is from a different world."

  "As was my sister and I . . . she is able to receive these powers, with my help of course." Ninjor nodded.

  Billy shook his head, "If we can get to her in time . . ."

  "We will Billy. We have to." Tommy nodded in reassurance.

  "Rangers! I have found her! I was able to confine the scan with her unusual energy signature, and I found her!" Alpha clapped his hands together and directed them to the viewing globe . . .

-----------------------------------------

  Ryla struggled with the shackles around her wrists, "Let me go!"

  Goldar came out from the smoke filling the room, "And why would I do that? SO you can morph and try to escape?"

  She growled angrily, "I already told you! I'm not a Power Ranger. I don't know what you want with me!"

  "You hang around with the Rangers, and know their identities . . . you must be of some importance to them." Goldar came closer, and she could feel the stentch that came off of him.

  Ryla cringed as she felt his sword touch against her stomach. He grinned, "Tell me what you know. Tell me their weaknesses, or I'll kill you!"

  Ryla gasped, and shook her head, "Never! I'd rather die!"

  Goldar smiled, "Then so be it."

---------------------------------

  The Rangers gasped, but Ninjor was quick to act, "Rangers, one of you must get to her."

  Tommy nodded, "We know . . . but how?"

  Ninjor held up the coin, "It will call to her. The coin can take you to the girl. But only one can go, it is not able to transport all of you."

  Tommy reached for the coin, "I'll go."

  But before he could touch the edges, Billy had snatched the coin, "No. I'm going."

  "Billy no, I don-" Kim set a hand to Tommy's shoulder.

  "Let him go." She nodded to Billy, "Good luck."

  Ninjor nodded, "Good luck my friend. Be swift, and trust yourself."

  Billy nodded, and held the coin firmly in his hand, "Take me to Ryla . . ."

  The coin began to glow, and he felt himself engulfed in it. As he was swept away, he could hear Zordon, "GOOD LUCK BLUE RANGER."
