Summary: A little break from the Tommy/Zack situation, we check into what the other rangers are doing.

((Kim's POV))

I don't know what to do about Tommy. Here is a guy that I thought was interested in me. There is something about Tommy that makes me go wow. There are butterflies in my stomach when ever he is around. The next day, he is giving me the cold shoulder. Instead of feeling of butterflies, I felt a cold lump in my stomach. Something just isn't right about him. I really don't have time for this. The green ranger is running around, Zack is missing and Zordon lost somewhere I wish I could talk to someone. Jason is so focus on finding the green ranger and Zack that he isn't pay attention to anyone else. I know he is worry and I am worry too but he could let everyone else help.

Billy is trying to find Zordon and Zack. Trini is trying to keep everyone calm and working together. Sometimes, I just don't see how she does it. We think the green ranger took Zack because his signal is gone. I don't want to interrupt them with my feelings and thoughts. I wish Zack was here. He would let me speak my mind and make me feel better with some joke. Zack would probably tell Jason to chill and not to worry. Zack would probably find a way to ease the tension in the Commander Center. Zack has a knack of defusing the worst situations. Everyone is so stress out. I just wish Zack would come back soon.

I don't know how much more the team can handle.

((Trini's POV))

"Yes, Mrs. Taylor. I will tell Zack to call you before he leaves. I am sorry for not telling you earlier. I really didn't think the project would be so long." I said softly over the phone.

I have become quite a liar since becoming a power ranger. It is nothing for me to proud of but I have no choice. One of the downside of being a power ranger, we had to lie to cover our activities as rangers. We always make sure our stories are straight before we tell anyone. Sometimes, it is so hard. Sometimes, I just want to scream or tell my mom and dad the truth. In the back of my mind, I know that I cannot. It would endanger everyone I hold dear.

Now, I face with a bigger challenge.

What if Zack or one of us doesn't come back from a battle? What do we say and do then? What words do we tell their families? How do we cope with our teammate and friend is gone? Slivers run along my back. I should not think about this. Zack is coming back. Everything will be fine.

"Thank you, Mrs. Taylor. Good-bye." I said as I hang up the phone.

If everything is going to be fine, why do I feel like it isn't?

((Billy's POV))

It has been 10 hours, 23 minutes, and 34 seconds.

That is how long Zack has been gone.

For hours, I have been working on finding a way to bring back Zordon and finding Zack. I cannot seem to lock onto Zordon's signal. For a brief moment, I will find it and then it will be gone again. It is so frustrating. Sometimes, I want to bang my fist into the console. The situation with Zack isn't any better. He isn't answering his communicator and his signal isn't anyway in Angel Grove. It is just like he vanishes off the face of the planet.

Alpha is trying to repair some of the wiring in the panels. He hopes by fixing it will give us a strong signal to track down Zordon. Trini is talking to Zack's parents. I am glad that Trini is doing that because I know I couldn't. I would have broken down. Jason is in warrior mood. He hasn't stop search for the green ranger or Zack. He said that the green ranger is involved in Zack's disappearance. I agree but we have nothing to go on. Until the green ranger appears, we are waiting. Suddenly, the sirens were off and the panels are flashing.

"What is it, Alpha?" I said as I glance at the screen before trying to stabling the energy units that were fried during the green ranger's attack.

"There is a high amount of energy coming from the Dark Dimension. Ya…Ya...the energy signals look like the green ranger and Zack!" Alpha said as he runs from one panel to another panel.

I heard in the communicator to contact Jason to tell him the news.

"Jason, we find him." I said.

((Jason's POV))

"Jason, we find him." Billy said. I had to let out a sigh of relief. It has been a long couple of hours. I have been running around out in the open. I hope it would draw out the green ranger. No such luck. He is probably with Zack. My throat became tight. Zack is a good fighter but the green ranger is better. I fear what I am going to see when I get there. What if something happened to him? I cannot help but feel responsible as a leader and a friend. I try so hard to protect everyone. I…I don't know what to do. I just hope that he is alright. Please, be alright.

A loud buzz noise snaps me out of my thoughts and I look at my communicator. Billy gave me the location to this Dark Dimension. First thing, I did was morph. I have no clue what I am up against. It is better to be safe than sorry.

The fights with the green ranger and Zack missing have put a drain on everyone. I cannot wait until Billy gets Zordon back. We could really use his help and guidance. I am hope this will be over soon. I don't know how much longer we can deal with it. I cannot wait to get Zack back. I know he would crack a joke about it.

The teleport took me away and land me right in the Dark Dimension. My mouth drops as what I saw. The first words stumble out of my mouth.

"ZACK!"
