Sorry this took so long rangers. Thank you for your continued support.
Also for those who think Tommy could not have been beaten, in the search for the Zeo crystal when Zedd fights Tommy he is more than a match for the ranger. The fight only ends in a stalemate when Tommy gets in a lucky shot and breaks Zedd's staff.

**************************Junk heap on the moon***********************
Alpha 5 received the secured encoded message into his emergency drive. Booting up he tried to run a diagnostic. His system was off the chart and all his part was missing. Oh Ai yi yi, the thought to himself. This was not good and as he decoded the message from Zordon. It was a simple message but Alpha 5 hurt somehow, somewhere in him he hurt at the explanation of earth falling and the definitive death of there of the rangers. His dudes and one dudette were no more. Alpha 5 carefully clicked on his visor eyes, only half was working but he could determine he was in a trash and scrap heap in a cavern someplace, seeing Serpentera in the distant confirmed the little robots worse fears as he click the light to his eye visor off. He had very little emergency power left but re relayed all he could out into a signal to the stars hoping Zordon would receive it.
For now he would have to go into sleep mode to conserve the 45% emergency brain battery he had remaining. If only Alpha had stayed online just a little longer. He would have seen Billy in the far distance crossing towards Serpentera.
*************************Billy and Kim's room************************************
Kimberly rolled over again. She didn't remember coming back to there room after the feast. That must have been Billy's doing. She had not gotten out of bed yet today. She just didn't have the heart. Not after last night, not after what had happened. They were just living toys that Zedd could do anything he wanted with. That's all, just worthless playthings. This thought distressed and depressed the young teenager. Tears slipped past her eyes. She felt so very numb, like she was already dead.
She heard the door to the room open but ignored it, burying herself deeper into the comforter. She didn't care what happened now.
Billy stepped into the room with the bounciest of steps and a tune on his lips. Yes, working on Serpentera for the lord of evil was evil but he couldn't help but appreciate the knowledge and scientific genius he was discovering within the Zord every day. It was a mental thrill that boosted his desire to learn more. It was like a drug. He was almost giddy. Setting to work on his computer a few more hours past before he realized Kim had not greeted him. He glanced over and saw her form laying still in the bed. He had let her sleep in when the putties came for him this morning but mentally he was kicking himself for not thinking to check on her until now.
"Kim?" He called softly, pushing his chair back from his computer desk and crossing the room to her. Her eyes were open and she was just staring at the ceiling. "Kim...?" Billy questioned softly again. He could see she had been crying but now, she was unnaturally quiet and still for Kimberly Anne Hart.
"Billy...please..." She begged him. "Make me feel something. You can do anything you want just...please. I feel so empty inside." Kim closed her eyes and moved slightly pushing away the comforter exposing her midriff and more of her arms and neck.
Billy gasped slightly as the meaning of Kim's words had caused his mind to come to a complete halt for a moment. He...he knew what she was asking but...He couldn't! She didn't really want him, not like that, not ever. Billy suddenly had an idea and he smirked slight, unable to keep the excitement out of his voice. "Anything I want Kim?"
With her eyes still closed she nodded, and Billy broke into a devilish grin. "Okay then." was all he said as Kim felt his weight move onto the bed. Kimberly blinked back a few tears. She just wanted to feel something and was willing to let Billy do as he wished.
With martial arts trained hands and a good knowledge of biology, both of males and females, Billy took his fingers to her exposed sides and belly. Kim yelped suddenly, squealing with laughter and began to struggle against Billy, trying to pull away. " Hahahaha tee hee snort hahaha stohahahahap!" She pleaded as she giggled.
"But Kimberly, you said I could do anything I wanted. And I want to tickle you." He responded playfully. "Tell me do you feel something?" He teased as increased his tickling on his thrashing, giggling best friend. She had been quite easy to pin and now was at his tickling mercy.
"Nooooo...stahahaha...stop..hahaha..." Kimberly begged but Billy refused. He planned to tickle her until he was sure all the sadness was gone. His knowledge of the human body was invaluable as Kimberly was now in hysteric helplessness in his arms. He had been tickling her for almost five minutes now and her resolve was weakening. She was still laughing but less able to fight Billy off. After another moment of tickling Billy backed off. Kim was panting, her eyes closed her face red.
Billy got off the bed. "Feel any better Kim?" She opened her eyes and glared at him with a pout. It was fake, he could tell. Billy smirked, "No, well I can just start tickling again." He threatened, wiggling his fingers menacingly.
Kimberly squealed preemptively. "No!*giggles* No, I *giggle* feel better." And it was the truth, she really did. She took a few deep breaths and then looked at Billy with a smile. "It's still not fair though, you knowing my secret weakness."
Billy chuckled, "Hey you knew about my fear of fish since we were kids, seemed fair. Besides I never told anyone how ticklish you are."
Kim nodded. "You know I was always grateful for that. I never minded when you and I had our little laughter fights when we were growing up. But if Zack had ever known. That guy loved making people laugh."
Billy smiled remembering the antics of there friend. Zack would have loved a guaranteed way to make one of his friends laugh. "I would never have broken your trust Kim." Billy said.
"I know" Kim smiled as she reach forward quickly to give Billy a tickle on his tummy.
"Eep!" Billy squealed pulling away and Kim smiled brightly. He fake pouted at her and moved back to his computer.
As Billy went back to his work Kimberly got up and began to stretch. She kept stealing small glances at Billy from the warm up mats. He was handsome and they did get along so well. They always had. Billy had been in her life being her best friend long before Tommy every came in and swept her off her feet. Maybe falling for her best friend wouldn't be a bad thing. In fact since they had been here Billy was stronger and more determined then she had ever seen him. She found it attractive.
****************************Finster's lab*******************************
Tommy felt the drug wear off from his mind long before his body. His limbs felt heavy but he dared not make a sound. He could hear voices near him...but were they friend or foe? He held still and listened.
"Rita hasn't left her toy room all day." Squatt whined with a worry or compassion in his voice Tommy was unaware he was capable of.
"She's still so upset about the harem. Lord Zedd took his first human girl last night." Baboo said. Finster clicked his tongue a bit.
"I am aware, poor thing, Lord Zedd hurt her greatly. Goldar brought her in here earlier to get fixed up. Oh well, I am sure when she regales her tale to the other females and males they won't struggle as much when Lord Zedd chooses them. They will get less injured that way." Finster sighed.
"What got Zedd so hot anyway?" Squatt asked innocently.
The trio got quiet and Tommy knew they were evaluating if he was awake yet or not. Tommy held as still as he could keeping his breath as deep and even if he could.
After a moment Finster spoke. "From what Goldar told me...his firebird was the cause. He became lustful and took that other girl instead of her."
"Why?" Squatt asked before Baboo hit him. He yelped. "You know why you dummy. If she gets hurt the other pet wont work on Lord Zedd's zord."
Tommy felt his breath hitch, he could barely control himself. There was only one person in the world who could fix Zedd's zord and that was Billy. Tommy had already guessed the blue ranger was here but...the only way Billy would work is if someone he cared for was threatened. Trini has been killed so the only other her Billy was close to was...but...no, Tommy sighed quickly, deciding to alert his captors that he was waking...it couldn't be Kimberly...could it?
Could the love of his life still be alive?
****************************Rita's toy room*****************************
Rita sighed, unhappy, as her toy continued to dance and play there child like games. Even her most favorite things could not cheer her today. Her mood was black and she frowned with a headache. She had wanted to play with Tommy again but Finster had informed her he was ill with some silly human sickness. It was to be expected. Zedd bringing all those filthy, unclean humans up here in droves to work and slave.
Rita waved her hand and all the toys returned to there places and became still. Rising from her throne she slowly made her way to her spell room, the click click of her heels the only sound across the floor. She frowned more as she entered her deepest and most powerful chamber. The way Zedd had reacted after seeing that little pink ranger dance...it made Rita feel so strange. Was she the empress of evil jealous of a little worthless human? If she had her way she would strangle that little pink ranger with her magic and delight as the light left her eyes and her lips turned blue. Then she would add her to her toy box but Zedd's instructions had been clear she did not dare risk harming the girl.
Flipping open and ancient book her long bejeweled finger nails began to trail over the words as she search for a spell. Something...just enough to make that little ranger unhappy. Something to make her cry. Nightmare spell? No, it's been done. Boils and zits? Quite messy... Weight gain? Perhaps but that could bring health problems... Then she found a spell that would be prefect to cast and she actually giggled as she read the spell. It wouldn't hurt Kimberly in the slightest but oh it would make her so unhappy.
Empress Rita recited words in a long dead languages and a sparking swirl of light left her staff and traveled through the castle. Putties dropped things and dodged the light as it raced towards its mark.
**********************Billy and Kimberly's room***************************
Kimberly swung contently on her swing watching the beautiful stars outside the window ledge as Billy typed away furiously at his computer. She was feeling much better, so much so she wished she had her guitar to play. She had even asked Billy about it and he assured her if the chance arose he would ask Lord Zedd to furnish her with one. He would like to hear her play music again and sing. Even if she was self taught she had a real talent for it. Billy watched Kim now as he took a break to rest his eyes, so he was watching when the beam of light hit her. She screamed, he screamed...
And when the light faded all of Kimberly's beautiful brown hair lay on the floor around her. She looked down and then felt her head. Kimberly paused a moment as her new baldness set in on her mind.
She wailed and cried in sorrow, filling the castle with her sad sounds. Rita smiled, that sound gave her great pleasure. That pretty pink ranger wasn't so pretty anymore. But Rita underestimated poor girl's wails. From two levels down in his cage a sound reached Tommy's ears and he stood. It was distant, an little more then a whisper but somewhere in the castle. His Kimberly was crying.
