Chapter 36: Reaching his Goal

Josh was walking with Zelinda to school like he normally did during the past two months. "So, Zelinda, how are you enjoying Reefside?" He asked.

"It's very beautiful here. The school is okay and the teachers are like any other teachers, boring," she replied.

Josh smiled and Zelinda looked at him. "You seem to be off in another world today," she commented.

"Yeah, well, I've been thinking of my sister you know. I just hope she's okay," he murmured.

Zelinda placed a hand on his shoulder. "She's just fine," she assured.

"I hope so," he sighed.

Just then, minions appeared around them. "Don't these guys take a break?" He asked. Zelinda gasped and ducked when a minion tried to throw a punch at her.

"Oh, it's on now," she snapped.

She did a sweep kick and did a tornado kick on the two minions coming at her. However, they became surrounded. Lizard appeared and laughed at them. "Well, well, well, this plan is going to be better for my master," he laughed. Then they disappeared.

The Dark Wizard stood up when Lizard appeared with Josh and Zelinda. "I thought I told you to bring the boy?" He snapped.

"My lord, this young woman is the daughter of the Silver Space Ranger and the former Princess of Evil," Lizard replied.

"Are you now?" The Dark Wizard asked.

He circled Zelinda and inspected her from head to toe. "She'd be too young to make a queen, but she would be lovely as my heir's wife. To produce more evil," he laughed. Zelinda struggled and glared at the Dark Wizard.

"You'll never turn me evil like what Ecliptor and Dark Spector did to my mother," she hissed.

"On the contrary my dear, with all of my powers, you'll have no choice," he laughed.

"What do you want with me?" Josh demanded.

"Don't fuss, my boy. You're going to be the heir to my throne," he replied.

"Just like what Lord Zedd tried to do to my father. I'll never join your side, Dark Wizard," Josh snapped.

"You'll have no choice. You'll destroy the Power Rangers, your pathetic father, your brothers and sister will belong to my friend, Jaya, and the lovely Zelinda will be yours," he laughed.

They strapped Josh down to a table and Zelinda was strapped down next to him. "Who will go first?" The Dark Wizard pondered. He circled Zelinda and sighed. "I'll turn you both at the same time," he announced. Zelinda was able to grab Josh's hand before the Dark Wizard performed his dark magic on them. After the spell was done, they were freed and Josh helped Zelinda off her table.

"Come, my dear, we have a mission," he stated.

"That we do," she agreed.

"Before you two go. I have something for both of you," the Dark Wizard informed.

He placed clothes down for them. "Your new uniforms," he added. Josh and Zelinda just touched the clothes and they appeared on them. "Now, my children go and destroy the Power Rangers," he laughed. Josh and Zelinda bowed to him.

"As you wish," they acknowledged.

Tommy looked at the computer and saw the fight. He was about to call Rebecca when it was too late. "NO!" He yelled. Kimberly came downstairs and stood behind Tommy.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"Kim, the Dark Wizard has Josh and Zelinda," he replied.

Kimberly gasped in disbelief. The computer beeped again and this time, they saw Josh and Zelinda standing there. However, they saw Josh's eyes glow green and Zelinda's eyes glow purple. Tommy then knew it was time to call the other Power Rangers. "Guys, we have trouble at the park. It's Josh and Zelinda, the Dark Wizard has changed them," he informed.
