Sorry this took so long ranger fans. My health has been poorly...again. So even though I have the story in my head, it's hard to find the energy to write. And thank you to all my reviewers and readers for being patient. You make this story fun to write.

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.

***************************Temple of Ninjor*****************************

Tommy let the tears fall freely from his dark eyes. He had tried to fight and hid the tears when they first started but in the end had given up. The details of the story Zordon told, causing tears to come like the winter rains from Tommy's eyes. He sniffed and sobbed as the sad drops fell.

Zordon had held nothing back. The great sage had wanted to. He would have given his life to spare his green, no his white ranger, from knowing the full devastating truth about his friends.

Zordon sighed. "If I could take this burden from you I would Tommy but you must be informed of all possibilities and the consequences of Zedd's evil." The room felt dark and heavy with emotion, almost stiffing. Like the temple itself was reacting to the pain in the young man's heart.

"Will you still save your friends? Knowing what you do now?" Ninjor asked, breaking the awkward silence of a human crying in his temple chamber. It was an odd sound, and it made Ninjor feel very uneasy.

Tommy wiped at his eyes and gave a nod of determination. "No matter what. I won't leave them in the castle. I can't. Besides there might still be a chance...right Zordon?"

Zordon smiled, he was so proud of his ranger. His son. Rita may have picked him to be evil but he was good, through and through. "Yes my son. There might still be a chance."

Tommy smiled at his words though Zordon knew the chance was very slim. Kimberly and Billy...they were no longer mortal, no longer fully human. Zedd would have seen to that. Old age would never be an escape for someone in Zedd's possession. Zedd loved the torture and torment of his enemies too much for that.

Ninjor sighed loudly, sounding annoyed. "Well if you are going to go. You better take these with you." Ninjor waved his hands and several small golden forms appeared, like Tommy's falcon had and they circled around Tommy. Swirling around his waist, under his arms and between his legs. Tommy giggled, wiggling slightly, then began to laugh outright. The spirit animals seemed to tickle him as they flew around him.

Ninjor chuckled slightly. That was a much better sound for a human to be making. There would be no more tears in his temple. It has been so long since there had been anyone for him to mentor and train. Seeing Zordon with Tommy, had rekindled the spark of compassion in Ninjor's heart. "The ape, bear, frog, wolf and crane spirit animals will accompany you on your journey. They will remain inside you." As he spoke each spirit entered Tommy's heart, in the same manner as his falcon had. "You will be unable to call on them for assistance but they will find where they belong. Eventually, they will show you, your new team."

Tommy nodded solemnly. A new team. He would be unable to do this alone but he blinked back tears again. Zordon had told him Kimberly was still connected to her pterodactyl power coin, same was probably true for Billy and if they had been...changed while still connected...they would be unable to take on new powers. "Where will I find them?" He asked so innocently.

Zordon spoke. "The spirits will lead you."

"Let the falcon guide you." Ninjor added.

"And may the power protect you." Zordon added as Tommy felt a teleport. When his eyes next opened his was in a falcon zord, high above the jungle. The falcon cried a greeting to its new master as it raised higher and higher heading for the stars.

For space...and back to the moon.

*************************Billy and Kim's room*****************************

Kimberly sighed and Zedd snored loudly again right in her ear. She was thankfully only half of Zedd great weight was upon her. She doubted she would be able to breath for long if he was fully on top of her body.

"Anything ideas yet?" She whispered to her captured friend. Billy just shook his head slightly. He had tried different positions of levering and movements but Zedd was just too heavy.

"Oh geez, you guys okay?" A voice called from the floor. Billy startled a bit from his musings. There was a shuffling of fabric and some grunting before two living toys came into view. Billy blush crimson aware of what they had just seen. Kimberly was likely doing the same. He had forgotten about the bully duo until this moment.

Bulk looked at Billy's face and misinterpreting the redness suddenly pushed with all his wooden might, onto Zedd's passed out body. "They can't breathe! Skull, give me a hand!" Skull joined the effort and Billy was amazed, he was unable to do anything but somehow Bulk and Skull in there pushing and heaving, started to lift Zedd up, just enough for Billy to wiggle loose.

Billy slipped off the bed, at the same moment Bulk and Skull lost their footing. The toys rolled out of the way as Zedd came down with a crash, breaking the wooden bed frame. The force caused Zedd to roll onto his back, halfway off the broken beds and Kimberly who has been trapped under him now found herself on top of his chest, right beside his face.

She held back a yelp of surprise and went still, they all did. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Kimberly could see herself so clearly in Zedd's well-polished visor as she held her breath. Lord Zedd snored again and Kim visible relaxed as Billy moved to help her carefully off the lord of evil. She smiled at him before looking back at the sleeping lord and there broken beds.

She had a million thoughts and feelings running through her. It took a moment for her to remember her state of dress but then she covered her chest slightly with her arms.

Her exposed body only remained that way for a second longer before something blue and soft fell over her face. Billy had put one of his shirts on her. She didn't want to look at his face but Billy gave her shoulder a gentle, reassuring, squeeze. "If you don't mind Kim, I'm going to clean up first." His voice was so normal, so calm. As if being played with was no different than going to the juice bar.

Kimberly watched Billy take some spare clothes and go behind the small partitioned area that held the composting waterless toilet and a pitcher and basin of clean water. She could hear him pour the water and splash it. Zedd continued to snort and although Kim did not care for Zedd's touch, the touching now that it was over, was giving her body a strange reaction. She knew it was wrong but it had felt so very good…She had to resist the urge to reach down and touch herself.

She wanted more.

Skull swore it must have been the lighting but for a moment, he thought Kim's eyes had just a hint of red to them. But in the blink of an eye, the discoloration was gone.

**************************Behind the screen**************************************

Billy, having removed his sticky underwear and pajama pants, splashed another round of cool water on his face. He had to get in control. How could his body be betraying his mind like this? Billy wondered as he stared at his massive, throbbing mating appendage. Firstly it was supposed to go down after release but seeing Kimberly's bare chest had brought him right back to attention and he…wanted her. A dark place in his mind whispered how easy it would be to have her. She was so much smaller and weaker than him, the dark seemed to whisper but Billy pushed it away. Taking a small cloth he soaked it in the cool water before wrapping it around his lower part, he bit back a cry of discomfort but the cool water was doing the trick.

The dark whispering voice demanding pleasure slipped back into the shadows of his mind.

Please review. Again sorry it is a short chapter. I will do my best to get another chapter out soon.
