Hey, so I hope you like the last chapter/episode. Now here's the ninja quest.

"Remember Rangers," Zordon spoke, "the temple of ninjetti in located in the dessert of despair. Be careful and I wish you all good luck."

The Rangers held out their hands and touch each other's palm. In a few seconds, the six Rangers were teleported to the Dessert of Despair.

"So, I'm guessing this will be it," Aisha said.

"Looks like it," Rocky replied.

"Billy," Adam started, "What does it say on the map?"

"We should-" Billy started before getting disturb by a shrieking voice.

"Oh, man," Trini said.

"They don't call it the Dessert of Despair for anything," Adam said.

"Well," Billy started as they begin to walk, "we should be heading this way." Billy pointed to right side. The Rangers started walking the direction.

In the palace, Lord Zedd is calling out for Rita. Rita suddenly comes out angry. "What do you want?!"

"The Rangers are in the Dessert of Despair," Zedd explained.

"So?" Rita questioned.

"So, the Rangers will find the Ninjor and the temple and they will unlock the power of ninjetti," Zedd explained.

"Right?" Rita said, "What does this concerns me?"

"Because, aren't you afraid that the Rangers will beat us?" Lord Zedd asked.

"Why should I bother?!" Rita snapped, "You and your new Ranger could do it!"

The Red Ranger came out. Rita groans as she walks away.

"What is her deal?" Lord Zedd asked.

"She's just jealous," the Red Ranger said.

"Jealous?!" Lord Zedd said, uncertain of the word, "How does that feel?" The Red Ranger shrugged. "Anyway, I want you to go down to Earth and cause a lot of damage. Then I want you to go to the Dessert of Despair and capture all of the Rangers and I'll take care of the rest."

Back in the Command Center, Kimberly and Tommy are waiting for the Red Ranger to attack.

"Listen, Kimberly," Tommy started, "I'm sorry that I yelled at you."

"It's okay," Kimberly said, turning around.

"No, it's not," Tommy said, "I feel like I've done something terrible and I want to fix it."

Kimberly turns around and face him, "Tommy, you don't have to do anything. I know why you said what you said. You were jealous."

"Yeah, if the roles were reverse you would've done the same," Tommy said.

"Sure, yeah, "Kimberly said.

"Oh, this feels nice," Alpha said.

"Alpha," Kim said.

Suddenly, the alarm went off. Kimberly and Tommy went to the viewing globe and saw Jason destroying buildings.

"We have to go," Kim said.

"Without our powers we'll be-" Tommy said.

Kimberly interrupted, "We don't have a choice."

Back at the dessert, the Rangers are walking.

"Hey, Billy," Zach said. Billy turns towards him, "How much longer is the temple and us away?"

"I'll take a look," Billy said, taking out the map. When he unfolds it, he scan it and got a theory. "Well, it's not really clear, but if I'm not mistaken, we should be coming to a rock formation, pretty soon." Everyone gathered around.

"Great," Aisha said.

"Maybe we should take a break," Trini suggested, "We've been walking for almost an hour."

"No," Billy said, "We should keep going."

"Listen, I think we should take a break," Adam said, "We just need a short, five to ten minute, break. That's all. And I'm pretty sure someone is going to faint under this hot area."

"Okay," Billy agreed, looking for a spot to sit.

In the Command Center, Kimberly and Tommy are deciding what to do.

"Kim," Tommy started, "I don't think it's a good idea to face him. You're going to get hurt."

"I don't care about me," Kim said, "I care about Jason and if we keep on arguing, we'll be too late."

"But Kim-"

"You are either with me or against me," Kim interrupted. Tommy fell silent. Kim nodded as she knew his answer. She turned to Alpha. "Alpha, can you please teleport me?"

"Sure thing, Kimberly," Alpha said, pressing the teleportation button.

Kimberly arrived in the city. She saw Jason up on a building, blasting everything in sight. Kimberly turned to a store that had a broadcast television. The news turn on.

"We are here in Angel Grove," the reporter said, "A new Ranger is destroying buildings and blasting lightning on people..."

"Oh, no..." Kimberly said, before running up the building, Jason was on top of. As she made it to the top, she saw the Red Ranger. She saw how close the design was to her suit. "Jason, I know it's you." The Red Ranger didn't stop what he was doing. "Please, don't do this. You're a hero, not a villain." The Red Ranger stops and turned around. He begins walking up to her. Kimberly could see through the dark visor in his helmet and saw his eyes.

"How could you be so sure?" he asked.

"Because, I have known you my whole entire life," Kim said, "You would rather sacrifice yourself then let your friends die."

"You don't know that," he said.

"Yes, I do," Kim said, glancing back at the edge of the building. "And I can prove it." She walked back to the edge. "I know you're going to catch me."

"You're bluffing,"

"Am I?" Kim said before falling off the edge of the building.

Back at the Command Center, Tommy is getting worried.

"Zordon, I have a feeling something is wrong with Kimberly," Tommy said.

"Don't worry," Zordon said, "Jason wouldn't let one of his friends get hurt."

"But he harmed Adam and the others," Tommy said.

"Yes, he harmed them," Alpha said, "I think I know what his weakness is."

Back in the city, Kimberly could feel the gravity pulling her down. Suddenly, she felt a hand grabbing her wrist. Kimberly opened up her eyes and saw that she landed on the ground but saw no one else there with her.

In the Dessert of Despair, the Rangers are walking. Aisha can't help but notice a strange rock that was completely a sphere.

"Hey, guys," Aisha said, "Look at this rock. It's a weird/perfect size of..I think...a rock." Aisha was going to grab it until...

"Don't touch it," Zack said, "who knows what it'll do."

"Relax, Zack," Aisha said, "it's just a 'rock'." Aisha grabs the rock and felt a burn in her skin. She drops the rock and the rock forms a line of fire. Because of the heat and struggle, Billy accidentally dropped the map.

Rocky, Zack, and Aisha jumped out. Billy jumped out. Trini and Adam were shocked by all the noises and explosions that it was making. The others were telling them to come out.

Adam grabbed Trini and they looked at each other. They begin to jump over. As everyone made it, Billy notices the map is gone. He looks around and saw the map was turning into ash. He races to it but gets pulled back by Adam and Zack.

"Billy, we can still find another way," Trini said.

"How?" Aisha asked.

"Well, I can still recall some of the things on the map," Billy said, "but I don't know how to get there. I just know how to get to that rock formation."

"Well, we must keep on going then," Adam said. The rest agreed.

In the northwest rocky hills, the two girls that Bulk and Skull were talking to the day before arrived. They were looking around to find them.

"So, where are they?" one of the girls asked. The other girl spotted them and pointed at them. They walk over to them.

Bulk and Skull popped out with their 'suits'.

"Hello, we are the power rangers," Bulk said.

"Yeah, and no one can stop us," Skull added.

Both girls looked at each other and crossed their arms.

"Oh, really," the girl said.

"Then where are the other rangers," the other girl asked.

"They're off polishing their zords!" Bulk exclaimed.

"Yeah, right," the girl said, heading back with her friend.

"No," Skull said, "Just hear us out."

"Fakers," the other girl commented, as she get in the car.

Back in the Dessert of Despair, the Rangers are walking in a plain area.

"How long is it until we'll come across the rock formation, Billy?" Rocky asked.

"Well, according to the map, we'll know it when we see it," Billy informed.

Suddenly, Zack got pulled down into the ground. Trini notices.

"Guys, look," Trini pointed to Zack.

"Zack, hold on," Aisha said.

Adam, Billy, and Rocky crossed their arms and Rocky reached over to grab Zack's hand. Zack holds on a tight grip on Rocky.

"Hang on, Zack," Trini said.

As they pulled harder, Zack is getting dragged in. Then a energy wave, out of nowhere, came out and push the Adam and Billy away. The girls helped them up. They all look around and didn't see Rocky nor Zack anywhere.

"Where are they?" Aisha asked.

"Oh, I hope they are not in trouble," Trini said.

"Don't worry," Adam said, "I'm pretty sure they are safe." Adam place an hand on Trini but Trini moved away. Adam realized something, but decided to continue walking with the rest.

As the Rangers reach the rock formation, they could feel a strong presence around.

"Okay, is it me or do you guys feel like someone is watching you?" Aisha asked.

"It's disturbing me," Trini said.

"Don't worry, it was probably nothin," Billy assured.

Suddenly, the Red Ranger flipped out. The Rangers got into their position.

"Don't worry," the Red Ranger said, "I'm not here to hurt all of you."

"What do you want?" Trini asked.

"Lord Zedd ordered me to get all of you," the Red Ranger said, "but it's all of but one's lucky day."

"What do you mean?" Adam asked.

"I'm going to take one," the Red Ranger said.

"No," Billy said, "we won't let that happen."

"Of course, you wouldn't," the Red Ranger said, "I just need the right motivation. Just look up." The Rangers look up to see Rocky and Zack dangling off of a cliff.

"What did you do to them?" Trini asked.

"Oh, nothing really, just a little mind control Lord Zedd taught me," the Red Ranger explain, "so I give you guys thirty seconds to decide which one I should take."

"There's no need," Adam said, "I'll go." The Rangers look at him.

"Adam, you can't," Aisha said.

"Don't worry," Adam said, "I'll trust Kimberly. Believing that he's still redeemable."

"Oh, yay," the Red Ranger said, sarcastically, "Now, I'll come back for you all one day." Adam walked up to him. The Red Ranger teleported him away.

"Now, let Rocky and Zack go," Trini ordered.

"Okay," the Red Ranger said.

Suddenly, Rocky and Zack are falling off but landed on their feet.

"Give me back my power," Rocky ordered.

"Oh, no, I don't think so," the Red Ranger said, "What I've got in store is gonna leave us all happy."

"Yeah, right," Billy said.

"Oh, don't worry," the Red Ranger said, "If you guys don't rescue before sunset, all his power will be drained and he will be destroy."

"What?! No!" Aisha said. Then the Red Ranger vanishes.

"We lost Adam," Trini said, getting upset. Billy sat down with her.

"It's okay, Trini," Billy said, "We'll get him back."

Aisha asked Rocky and Zack, "What happened?"

"H-" Rocky trailed off, scratching his head.

"We-" Zack said before trailing off, thinking about what just happened.

"I don't remember," Rocky said.

"Me either," Zack said.

"He must've made you guys forget," Aisha said, "This is just great."

Hey, it's been awhile since I updated. Hope you enjoy the chapter. Now, will the Rangers rescue Adam on time? Review.
