Chapter 9- The Homecoming Pt. 3
The RADBUG had finished it's descent into Zedd's throne room, as Zedd's many soldiers of evil gawked at the three humans. Trini buried her face into Zack's shoulder, for she couldn't bear looking at the many vicious creatures. It reminded her of being on a horror hay ride festival, except for this time, the monsters were real, and were waiting to hurt them.
"Guys? What are we going to do?" asked Trini
"There's nothing we can do," Zack said. "We're trapped here,"
"We'll have to wait until Kimberly gets back. We can't give Zedd any trouble, because then we could get ourselves killed." Jason answered. "I know we can count on her, I'm just worried if I did the wrong thing by sending her off,"
Jason's thoughts were answered as Zedd pulled the vehicle's door open and jerked Jason out of the driver's seat, and looked inside. "Well if it isn't dance boy, and kata girl!" Zedd laughed at his joke, and turned to Jason. "You've made a very large mistake by sending your pink power puff brat into space,"
Jason's face clenched up at the smell of Zedd's breath. "I'm not going to argue with you Zedd," he looked down at the ground and faked a surrender. "You've won,"
"Zordon's Red Ranger giving up so easily? I thought I'd never see the day!" Zedd growled. "Just where were you going in this earthen contraption?"
"We were going to Aquitar," Jason replied.
"Is that so?" Zedd motioned to Trini and Zack, who both nodded back at him. "Well, well, well, you've just given me the location to where I should send a couple of my friends. Then we'll see how resilient your gymnastic friend is,"
Jason struggled to get free, from Zedd's grip, but felt a surge of energy that came from Rita's staff, who was standing nearby. He spit in Zedd's face and called out, "I hate you!"
This greatly angered Zedd. "Goldar! Take them to the dungeon! And make sure they are separated from our other prisoner, we don't need four heroes devising a plan,"
Goldar and a few monsters took Jason, Trini, and Zack and pulled them towards a hallway that led to many other rooms in the castle. Passing by the throne room, Jason caught a glimpse of the Zeo Crystal. Part of him was thinking that they should have been fighting, but he knew that three of them against Zedd, Rita, and all of there monsters wasn't a good chance.
Back in the throne room, Rita Repulsa watched as the Putty Patrollers, and the Tenga Warriors created havoc in Angel Grove. "Zeddy! Do you think it's time we put the second installment of our operation in action?"
Zedd nodded at his wife. "First, I'll report the escape of the Pink Ranger," he said walking over to the control screen, and informing the Dark Fortress.

Downtown Angel Grove was lifeless in the dark of night, as legions of Putty Patrollers searched the street for humans to terrorize. Adam Park roamed the street nearest the Park, with his discharged power morpher in hand. He couldn't understand why the Space Rangers hadn't responded to the apparent attacks from Lord Zedd, and was on his way to Tanya Sloan's house. Adam looked up into the sky, as red and green lasers fired down from space high above the skyscrapers downtown.
Zedd and Rita joined their powers, and had summoned the Moon Palace down to Earth. The towering dark concrete palace appeared as a mirage, but soon transformed into a solid form. Zedd walked over to the balcony and watched as his army transported their unfortunate slaves into the numerous palace dungeons.
People of all ages, sex, race, and size had been captured, having no knowledge of what the had done, or why they had been separated from their families. Angel Grove had been almost been picked clean, and all that remained was desolate reminders of the citizens who had been living in the city.
Adam looked up at the palace, and down at his morpher. "I've got to do something," he told himself. "If only I could find Jason and the others,"
---
"Well Zeddy, we did it! Earth is finally ours!" Rita Repulsa laughed evilly.
"I never thought it would end like this, but I'll take every ounce of it," Zedd roared with laughter. "This victory calls for a celebration. Summon Goldar, Rito, the Tengas, summon the monsters, summon everyone!" Lord Zedd laughed.
"Ed! I'm getting bored, can I go out and capture some more people?" Rito Revolto asked.
"Right now, I'm so happy, I could care less what do you call me!" Zedd answered. "As for your question, bring back whoever you find! Kill them if you must!"
"Sure thing, boss," Rito said happily.

Kimberly could feel the pink energy around her body, as she strangely teleported through space. She had no idea where Aquitar was, but kept her eye out for a planet with mainly water. Behind her back, the Dark Fortress raged on, attempting to lock on her body.
"Stop her Elgar!" Astronema yelled. "Stop her now!"
"I'm trying to Astronema!" Elgar replied. "But these Power Rangers are fast, especially the Pink ones!"
"Ugh!" Astronema walked over to the sattelaser controls, and pushed Elgar out of the way. "Do I have to do everything myself?" Astronema locked on Kimberly and fired the beams, which immediately brought her to a jolt.
Kimberly could feel the power of the beams as they pulled her back, and realized that she'd been captured. She struggled to break free from the beam, and felt like she was using every muscle from her body, but it was no use. Kimberly felt herself entering the docking bay of a ship. The beam had drained the power from Kimberly's morpher, she felt herself falling through the air, and she landed on the cold steel floor of the Dark Fortress.
Astronema stood waiting for her, astonished by the girl's beauty. She motioned for Kimberly to join her. The docking bay was cluttered with many Quantrons ships, and various mecha that Astronema had planned on using against the Rangers.
Kimberly made her way towards Astronema, who had recently dressed her hair in strange decorations, with black as her new color. Kimberly thought that the girl was beautiful, but couldn't tell if she was her enemy. Astronema however, answered her doubts.
"Rogue Pink Rangers shouldn't be traveling all alone in outer space," Astronema said slyly. "You might get captured by the princess of Evil,"
"Who are you?" Kimberly demanded.
"I'm Astronema," she answered. "Haven't you heard of me?"
"I've heard of you all right," Kimberly charged forth, but was stopped by a zap from Astronema's staff.
"Let's not get violent," Astronema said. "We could be good friends you know,"
Kimberly lay lifelessly on the floor, stunned by Astronema's attack. "I don't want to be your friend," she grunted.
"Well that's too bad," Astronema spoke. "Ecliptor! Take this human to the holding cell with that other hunk of junk," she yelled into a communication device on her wrist.
Within seconds, Ecliptor had entered the throne room. Kimberly was frightened by him, he was unlike any monster she'd ever seen before, but he seemed to have a soothing side to him as he carried her off through the ship.
Kimberly was placed in an alcove deep within the Dark Fortress, she looked around the darkness, unable to see anything when suddenly she noticed a flashing of lights, something that she'd saw before. It was a power bolt, fading in and out, and other controls doing the same. Instantly she realized who she was seeing. "Alpha?" she asked cautiously. ---
Jason, Trini, and Zack had been separated from the other prisoners, and they had know knowledge that Tommy was in a cell a few floors under theirs. Jason realized his mistake in sending Kimberly, and now he'd given away the place where she was going. Part of him thought that she'd been captured. He felt like a jerk, he'd ignored that fact that there were other Rangers on Earth who too would have came to Aquitar with them. Now he needed to think of a plan, a plan to escape the hell that they were in.
"Are you okay bro?" Zack asked.
"Yeah, I think I'll be okay." Jason replied. "I just hope Kimberly's okay,."
"Yeah me too," Trini agreed. "Jason, did she even know where Aquitar is?"
Jason shook his head and frowned. "I don't think so, but hopefully she went back to Earth,"
Zack kicked the wall. "I can't believe this! Zordon's gone, we're stuck in here, the Earth is under attack, and the Rangers are nowhere to be found,"
"Shh!" Trini said to Zack. "What if they hear you?"
"I don't care anymore," Zack said, frustrated by his imprisonment. "I want out of this place!"
Outside, the moon had cast an eerie glow on the conquered streets of Angel Grove, and a cool breeze howled through the silence of the city. A few Tengas flapped through the air, and off into the night, searching for the lucky few who'd escaped Zedd's clutches, and from every corner of the city, the menacing and dark tower of Zedd could be seen guarding its new territory.
