Sorry this took so long rangers. 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.

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

Bulk returned with a few fluffy, clean towels and began to pull at Billy's wet clothes. "Bulk!" Skull squealed alarmed, wondering at his friends invasive actions.

Bulk sigh, that's right, Skull still didn't know. He didn't know how close Billy and Bulk had been already. "Look it's just like when we cared for my little cousin alright?"

Skull wrung his hands nervously. "But…but these are grownups! I mean, we can't just undress…I mean….should we….it's wrong? Right?"

Bulk stopped and looked at his worried friend. "We can leave them like this either. It's bad for the skin and we don't know how long they will sleep for. Start undressing Kimberly, ok?" Skull began to quiver at that command, Bulk noticed. "We're looking after them Skull that's all, nothing dirty, nothing inappropriate." Bulk reassured, deciding it would be best for now if his friend remained unaware of his encounter with Billy's sensual side.

Skull went very still thinking for a long moment. Bulk knew his friend was weighting the pros and cons of the situation. Skull could be smart, when he wanted to be. With a soft sigh, Skull very gently began to untying the draw string around Kimberly's pink pajama pants. "I always dreamed of Kim, but not like this…" Skull whispered as he worked removing the wet, rumpled clothing from her soft body. "Not like this…"

******************************* Hallway**********************************

Goldar whistled a merry, slightly suggestive little tune as he began to approach Kimberly and Billy's shared bed room. Magical silver chains jingled in his hand. He hoped he wouldn't have to use them but, she probably wouldn't willingly go with him. Not if she knew was awaited her. Goldar licked his lips. Covered in musk he knew his scent was the most attractive. Dominate and strong. His room was already prepared. He had done some studying on human females. After all he couldn't risk breaking one of Zedd's favorite captives. In his room awaited red roses and rose petals. He didn't care for the smell but human females seemed to like it. As well as red wine, chocolates, candles, and variety of human "sex" toys. Goldar began to get hard as he thought exactly how he would start. He'd offer her the wine and chocolates, partaking if she wanted. Then he would begin to take her clothes off and if she was still too scared, he would massage her until she relaxed, then he would take his long tongue over her breasts and…"

"GOLDAR!" Zedd's voice echoed down the hallway, pulling Goldar again from pleasing thoughts. Zedd and Rita seemed to have a knack for being a buzz kill. Changing directions Goldar headed down the main hall, the great metal door opened at his approached but something was different…

"My Lord?" Goldar questioned in a sweeping bow. Zedd's hand was on his head. He appeared ill. "You don't look so good, my lord. Shall I send for Finster?" Goldar hoped Zedd would say yes and he could leave to get the monster maker doctor and then get back to his awaiting desire.

Zedd spoke, but it sounded pained, forced. "No, I do not need Finster. Take some putties and go to earth. Billy and Kimberly are in need of new beds and such. Several items were damaged." Zedd said no more and waved his hand, dismissing Goldar.

"New beds….New Beds!" The meaning hit Goldar like a brick to the face as the metal door to the throne room closed behind him. Zedd had…Goldar growled under his breath but then caught himself, unsure of the uncontrolled animal reaction. Goldar sighed and headed towards the lab. He's get some freshly made putties and talk to Finster. Finster always seemed to know what was happening.

*****************************Kitchen room*********************************

Justin sat looking out the doorway over the kitchen. It was strangely beautiful. Much better than the lonely darkness in the wash room. He knew he should still be resting but the dream he had was too much for him to risk sleep again. Everything was so still and silent. Every once and awhile some of the captured animals would make noise but it was in vain. Such sad sounds, as if they knew their fate. The kitchen had magically darkened slightly when "night" had come but it was beginning to glow brighter. It would be time to get up soon.

Justin glanced at Adam sleeping in the bed. He was so grateful to his protector, his friend. But Justin knew he was a burden to Adam. Justin had already made up his mind. He would ask the chef for work today. Someone had to be cleaning and feeding the animals and that was even lower work than the butchering of them that Adam was doing. Chef might agree and then Adam wouldn't have to share his hard earned food.

Justin bit his lip in thought, and if Chef said no, Justin…well he would offer to repay Adam another way. Adam would probably be a lot gentler with him than that other man had been. Justin wiped away the tears quickly forming in his eyes at the thought. No, it would be okay. Adam would be gentle and he had to repay him somehow even if it made him feel sick deep inside.

******************************Master Vile's ship****************************

"How are you feeling?" Rocky whispered to Katherine. The group had eaten there fill, chatted pleasantly for a while and now were now all lounging on the bedding in the room. It was a bit close quarters but Rocky and Aisha had cuddled close giving Kat as much extra space as they could. Kat had noticed and appreciated it greatly. Aisha and Rocky were so very kind and seemed so comfortable around each other.

Kat gave Rocky a weak smile. "It's better, not great but a lot better. I…I never drank back home on earth, but I just couldn't handle it in the harem. I was so alone, and afraid all the time…" Kat sniffed slightly and Aisha reached out and placed a hand softly on her shoulder. "You have us now Kat. You won't be alone again…if we can help it."

Kat nodded and yawned. She felt safe with her new friends but had no idea why. This wasn't like her friends on earth before Zedd had taken over. It was as if something far away, not quite in reach bonded the three. Rocky smiled and grabbed a couple blankets. "Come on, let's all get some sleep." He said tossing a blanket to Kat and covering himself and Aisha with another blanket. As they slept the temperature became in the room dropped slightly. Kat rolled over in her sleep feeling the warmth being given off by Rocky. Rocky smiled slightly and pulled her closer. Aisha was already asleep snuggled on his other side.

Rocky was unable to sleep. He kept thinking about Adam. He hoped his brother was alright.

*****************************Falcon Zord***********************************

Ninjor sat quietly in a rocking chair, blue knitting in his hands, as he watched the white ranger sleep soundly not far from him inside his interdimensional space. Suddenly the flacon zord shrieked and came to a halt in space forcefully. Ninjor flew to his feet and rushed to Tommy. "Awaken young falcon. I believe battle is at hand!"

"Whaa?" Tommy rubbed at his eyes groggily.

"Danger is at hand! Get up!" Ninjor shouted grabbing Tommy by the collar and the next moment Tommy found himself back in the cockpit. Ninjor steadied him for a moment as the last few drops of sleep were shaken off.

"Oh wow…Ninjor, who is that?" Tommy asked looking out the view from his zord. A great ship, sparking black with marks like red death upon it floated in front of him. It was as big as his falcon, well almost. "Are they bad guys?" Tommy asked.

Ninjor almost slapped him on the back of the head. Refraining from the action at the last moment. How could anyone see a ship like that and not think the owner was bad? This human was still such a child. A child who would get himself killed if Ninjor wasn't there to guide him.

"Hard to say, but the markings on the ship are that of Master Vile, you may know him better as Rita Repulsa's father." Ninjor said offhandedly.

"Rita has a dad? And he's still alive?" Tommy was bemused. He had known the empress was old but this, wow.

While Tommy mused Ninjor pushed a few buttons on the console. "I believe they are hailing us, young hero. And no one thinks much of humans in the universe...I would suggest you hide your identity."

Tommy straightened up. "Ninjetti the falcon!" Tommy called out his face becoming covered in a white ninja like cloth mask. Just in time as a very angry monster appeared on screen.

"Whoever you are...How dare you block my path! Move or be destroyed!"
