Outline: Billy tells everyone about Zedd's plan.
Chapter 6 The Answer
Billy's eyes were looking at the table surface. His hand was over his head as it lay on the table, the other hand was under his chin.
"This is amazing," Zack said.
"I can't believe Zedd and Rita thought they could win. Haven't they learned by now?" Rocky asked.
Zack shrugged.
"Well, Rocky, they almost did," Billy said. Billy turned his head to the girl sitting next to him. "I owe my life to you, Trini."
"You would have done the same for me," she smiled, covering his hand with hers.
He could still feel her pain. Billy did not know if she would be the same again.
"That was a very close call for you, Billy," Adam said.
"That's for sure. I'm never letting that coin out of my sight ever again," he promised.
"We're just glad to have you back," Kim said, throwing one arm around him.
"You had us really scared, buddy," Tommy said.
"I know," Billy sighed.

Zedd came storming into the throne room.
"That's it," he yelled. "I mustn't fail again."
"You better not," Rita said.
"I'll destroy them with their greatest fear," Zedd replied.
Rita started laughing.
"I've already tried that," she said.
"I guess they weren't good enough then," Zedd smarted off.
"Oh, don't give me that bull shit," Rita snapped.
"Just shut up," Zedd yelled.

"You guys ready?" Tommy asked.
Everyone turned to him and nodded.
"Let's do it," Jason said.
"It's morphin' time," Tommy yelled.
They appeared in front of the palace.
"This place creeps me out," Kim said.
"It's going to be all right, Kim," Tommy said.
As Tommy touched her shoulder, she closed her eyes. When they opened, she was alone in a cave.
"Hello? Tommy… anybody?" Kim asked.
She began looking around, but no one was there.
"Weird," Kim said.
Outside her dream state, she was not moving.
"Kim, what's wrong?" Tommy asked.
She did not answer.
"Oh no, Tommy, I was afraid this would happen," Billy said.
"What are you talking about, Billy?" he panicked.
"What's happening to her?" Zack asked.
Tommy put his hand on Kim's cheek. Her skin was deathly cold.
"Zedd and Rita have trapped Kimberly in her own state of mind," Billy said.
"Meaning?" Aisha asked.
"They're controlling what she thinks," Billy answered.
Underneath their helmets, everyone's eyes grew.
"Kim, snap out of it," Tommy yelled, shaking her shoulders. She still was not moving. "Please."
"Come on girl," Zack said.
Meanwhile, Kim was still alone in her mind.
"This is really weird." Five putties appeared out of nowhere. "Great, I can't fight these things all by myself," Kim groaned in frustration. She began fighting them. It seemed like the putties knew every move of hers. They soon had her surrounded. "Help! Oh who am I kidding, no one can hear me." She closed her eyes as tight as she could, trying to find the strength in her to fight. "You're really starting to piss me off. There's only one thing to do now, even though I don't know how I got demorphed. It's morphin' time!" She looked around in panic when nothing happened. "Not good." She started running for her life. She stopped in her tracks at the sight of Tommy.
"Hey, beautiful," Tommy said.
"Tommy, thank God," Kim replied. He began disappearing. "No, Tommy. Come back."
His voice echoed.
"Believe in yourself," Tommy said.
"What? No, please, Tommy, come back! I need you," Kim yelled. She quickly turned her head and screamed as she ducked at oncoming putties. "All right, time to teach you a listen."
When she finally defeated the putties, Tommy appeared again. She got up from the floor and smiled.
"Told you," Tommy replied.
"Thank you for believing in me, Tommy," Kim said.
"I've always had, and always will, beautiful. Now, Kim, close your eyes and come back to me," he told her.
She did what Tommy said and when they opened, she saw the back of Tommy, his head down.
"Miss me?" Kim asked.
Everyone shot their heads towards the Pink Ranger.
"Kim," Tommy yelled.
He took Kim in his arms.
"Can someone tell me what the hell just happened?" Kim asked.
"It looks like Rita and Zedd are trying to destroy us one by one in our minds," Billy said.
"You mean like controlling our thoughts?" Kim asked.
"Affirmative," Billy said.
