DISCLAIMER

Wow. I don't think I've ever finished a complete story in one day. Of course, this is a two-parter, so the story's not quite complete, but I'm sure you know what I mean. As usual, I only own Gragon and the Crangons. The rest belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney.

Two hours later, Tommy paced by the lake. Where was she? Why wasn't she here yet?

"Tommy?" a voice queried. Tommy turned around to see Kimberly.

"Kimberly. I thought maybe you were going to be late," Tommy stated.

"No, that's your m.o.," Kimberly joked.

"Ha ha," Tommy said dryly.

"So…why'd you ask me here?" Kimberly wondered.

"Well, you know, I thought it was a beautiful day and we that should"

"Tommy, you're stalling," Kimberly interrupted.

"Right. Sorry," Tommy apologized. "Kim, would youlook out!" Kimberly was only slightly surprised when Tommy knocked her to the ground. Something exploded behind them.

"Great! I knew this day was going too well!" Kimberly griped. The adults picked themselves up.

"Putties! Get them!" Goldar roared. The clay creatures surrounded them.

"We go for the 'G', right?" Kimberly queried.

"That's what I remember," Tommy agreed. They quickly spread out. Kimberly did a back flip and two of the Putties crashed into each other.

"I can't believe they fell for that," Tommy chuckled. Suddenly, he realized he was being singled out.

"Kim!" Tommy exclaimed.

"Tommy!" Kimberly shrieked. The man activated his communicator.

"Guys we need" He was shoved to the ground before he could finish. Two of the clay creatures grabbed him.

"TOMMY!" Kimberly shrieked again. She attempted to get to him, but was also being held back by Putties. Suddenly, Goldar and the Putties disappeared with their captive.

"TOMMY! NO!" Kimberly cried. The next thing Tommy knew, he was in the dark dimension.

"What do you want with me, Goldie-locks?" Tommy demanded. Goldar used his sword's magic to create shackles which chained Tommy's wrists to two posts.

"You shall see, Tommy. You shall see," Goldar cackled. Tommy struggled against his bonds. His stomach tightened as Goldar's laughter rang in his ears.

To be continued…

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Sorry this first part seemed to be completely romanced-base. I was merely just trying to set things up for the next part. I hope you enjoy it.
