Outline: Billy's shocking answer is revealed.
Chapter 4 A Different Shade of Blue
Everyone was sitting at the table, all eyes on Billy.
"At first, I didn't think about it, but when I began feeling this way, I knew what it had to be," the Blue Ranger said.
"And that would be…" Rocky asked.
Billy looked down and sighed.
"Yeah, Billy, what is it?" Jason asked.
"I lost my power coin a few days ago," he said.
The room became silent, but only for a few seconds.
"Billy," Kim yelled. "I know you're not that dumb to do that."
"I'm sorry you guys," he apologized. "We had been away from the power coins before, so I had no idea."
"What's going to happen to you?" Trini asked.
Billy looked over at the teary-eyed Purple Ranger. It broke his heart to see her in this pain. He could not lie to her, or anyone else.
"By the looks of it, I'm going to lose my powers," Billy said.
"That can't happen," Tommy yelled. "I won't let what happen to me happen to you, Billy. I can't and won't let you go through that pain."
Tommy was serious, too. He was not going to let a friend go through that same pain.
"Tommy, it's over. My power coin's gone," Billy snapped.
"There has to be a way to get it back," Zack said.
"How did you lose your coin anyway?" Tommy asked.
"Fighting putties," Billy sighed.
"Oh, no," Zack said.
"Do you realize what that could mean?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, I do. Rita and Zedd might possibly have it," Billy said.
Billy stood still and placed his hand over his chest.
"Billy, what's happening?" Trini asked.
"The pain, I…" he began.
All of a sudden, his body became limp and fell.
"Billy," Trini yelled.
"I don't think I can handle any more of this pain," he groaned.
"Don't worry," Aisha said. "Everything's going to be fine."
"We're going to get your coin back, buddy. I promise you that," Tommy said.
"Come on," Zack said, putting an arm around Billy. "You really need to rest for now."
Zack helped Billy get up. Trini watched with a heavy heart as Zack slowly walked with Billy to his room.
"This is getting too surreal for me," the Pink Ranger said.
Kim bit her lower lip and crossed her arms. Tommy put one hand on her shoulder.
"Billy's going to make it through this, Kim. I know he will," he reassured her.
She gave a little smile.
"Wait a minute," Rocky said. "If you've been apart from your power coins before, then why is Billy going through this?"
"Well, when Goldar took our power coins, he never had a chance to use them, thanks to Tommy," Jason said.
"Oh, no," Trini said. "What if Zedd and Rita are using his coin?"
"We're in big trouble then," Tommy sighed.
"This is so not good," Kim said.
Suddenly, the alarm came on.
"What is it, Rocky?" Aisha asked.
Everyone walked over to the control panel.
"We're almost there, and we even have a welcoming party," Rocky said, turning around to face the others.
"Great, just what we don't need right now," Adam said.
Zack came running in.
"What's up guys? What's happening out there?" he asked.
"Putties are waiting for us," Jason told him.
"Then let's let them greet us," Zack said.
"Who's going to stay with Billy then?" Adam asked.
Only one turned to answer.
"I will," Trini raised her hand.
"All right," Tommy said.
"Prepare for a rough landing," Rocky yelled.
Everyone took a hold of something as the shuttle landed on the moon.
"Let's do this," Aisha said.
"It's morphin' time." Tommy yelled.
