Adam and Rocky took turns as they punched and kicked Tommy who was chained to the wall for ten minutes.
It was only a matter of time before the beating woke up the white ranger.
"Stop...please" Tommy groaned as he looked down at the ground.
"Sorry, white ranger, but we have our orders." Adam said as he slowly ran his axe against Tommy's arm.
Tommy could only let out a painful scream as Rocky did the same to the other arm with his sword.
"Rangers, that's enough! Go to the city and get the others!" Lord Zedd said.
"Yes, Master." Rocky and Adam said as they teleported away.
"So Tommy, it seems like you are finally on the losing team. How does it feel"
"Release Adam and Rocky from your spell!" Tommy said all in one breath.
"I have a better idea, white ranger." Lord Zedd sneered.
He held his staff up to Tommy's face balancing his chin on top.
"How would you like to be one of my rangers"
"Never in a million years. You hurt innocent people. You tried to destroy Adam and Rocky's relationship." Tommy growled.
"From the looks of it, I made that relationship stronger."
"No matter what you do, evil will never win. The power rangers will find a way to win." Tommy said.
"Not when they fight against their own." Lord Zedd laughed.
What Lord Zedd did next surprised Tommy.
He undid the chains from the wall, freeing the ranger letting Tommy fall on his hands and knees.
"Why would you-" Tommy said as Lord Zedd waved his staff in front of him releasing the same kind of energy he used on Rocky and Adam.
The energy from the staff also healed Tommy's injuries from the red and black rangers.
While the energy struck Tommy, a new white candle started to form next to the red and black ones that were formed earlier.
"YES! I HAVE THE LEADER OF THE POWER RANGERS IN MY CONTROL!" Lord Zedd said.
"What is your mission for me, Master?" Tommy said kneeling down.
Lord Zedd picked up the morpher Adam threw on the ground and gave it to Tommy.
"Join the black and red ranger. They know you're on the way. Destroy the other rangers. If they offer to join us, destroy them anyway! You three are the strongest of them all!"
"Yes, Master. IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
"WHITE TIGER!"
Tommy teleported to where Adam and Rocky were. They were near the cave that Adam, Rocky and Aisha were almost bitten by the snake.
"Tommy, so glad you could join us." Rocky said.
"Yes, we were just about to give reason for the others to come here so can destroy them." Adam smiled.
Back at the Command Center, Alpha, Zordon, and the others watched as now Tommy was on Lord Zedd's side.
"This is bad. Tommy, Rocky, and Adam are all tough individually, but now that they're evil..." Billy said
"Rangers, you must believe in yourselves. No matter what, evil will never win." Zordon said.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
"PTERADACTYL!"
TRICERATOPS!"
"SABER-TOOTH TIGER!"
The remaining good rangers teleported to where their friends were.
"You guys don't have to do this." Billy started.
"You don't have to serve Lord Zedd." Aisha said "Try to remember who you really are."
"Tommy, you've been in situation before. You made it out once, you make it out again." Kimberly said.
"Psh. Remember what?" Adam snarked. "Our powers were limited when we were with you. Now us three, are the most powerful humans in the world."
"Adam has a point. Putties get them!" Tommy said pointing his arm to the blue, yellow, and pink rangers.
In a flash, several putties attacked and made it impossible for Billy, Aisha, ad Kimberly to see their friends.
"Boys, I believe we have some tricks to try." Rock said getting his power sword.
"Yes, we do. Master gave our powers an upgrade." Tommy said getting Saba.
"Shall we?" Adam asked getting his axe.
"On my count, boys." Tommy smiled.
"THIS IS IT GOLDAR! THE POWER UPGRADES I GAVE THE RED, BLACK , AND WHITE RANGERS WILL DESTROY THE OTHERS FOR SURE!"
"3, 2, 1. NOW!"
Tommy, Rocky, and Adam each used their weapons to draws beams of light that turned into arrows that went straight for Billy, Aisha, and Kimberly.
As the energy got near, the putties all dodged the attack and got behind the other rangers, pushing them toward the attacks.
Billy, Aisha, and Kimberly were hit right away and fell straight down screaming in pain.
"One more time should do it." Rocky said.
"Let's just strike them up close so we know if and when they're dead." Adam suggested.
"Excellent." Tommy said as they walked toward them.
"THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!" Lord Zedd screamed in excitement.
"We're going to rule to universe!" Goldar said.
"RETREAT!" Billy said as they teleported away just barely pushing off several putties off of them.
"After them!" Tommy said.
"NO! NOT YET!" Lord Zedd said.
"But Master..."
" I know what I said. But wait until the next time you see them. Like tomorrow after school. I want to see how you destroy them without using powers! They are so weak now compared to you!"
"Yes, Master." All three said teleporting back to Lord Zedd.
"THAT WAS AMAZING RANGERS! YOU SHOULD ALL BE VERY PROUD!"
"Thank you Master, for upgrading our powers."
"You deserve it. No go back to your human lives for now. I'll summon you next time I need you!"
"As you wish." The three said as they teleported back to Angel Grove as if they didn't try to kill their friends.
The next day during school, Billy, Aisha, and Kimberly were nowhere to be seen.
They spent the whole day with Zordon and Alpha wondering what kind of control Lord Zedd has over their friends.
"I don't understand...even when Tommy was the green ranger, he never had that kind of power." Kimberly said.
"It's like Zedd is making his powers to make theirs stronger." Billy said.
"That is exactly what happened." Zordon said.
How do we get them back on our side?" Aisha asked.
"Behold the viewing globe and look at Zedd." Zordon said.
"There, next to Zedd. Three candles. To Zedd's right side." Billy said.
"White, black, and red. Are those how he's controlling them?" Kimberly asked.
"It appears that the candles are what is keeping them under Lord Zedd's control."
"So now what?" Kimberly asked. "How do we get to where Zedd is, and put the candles out?"
"You can't." A familiar voice said out of nowhere scaring the three rangers.
When they turned around, they were shocked and scared to death to see Tommy, Adam, and Rocky all behind them.
"Hey guys. Missed you at school today." Tommy said with an evil smile.
