Tommy and I spent the next few hours rolling between the black silk sheets on the bed. We made sure that no one at the Command Center could hear us through the radar first before starting our heated session. It was an amazing feeling, laying with Tommy again. His strong arms held me close but in a gentle way that made me feel like we hadn't lost any time at all. As we laid there, I knew that he was the person I was meant to be with. Everything felt safe with him. He was the other part of my soul that I had been missing throughout those ten years apart. If it hadn't been for the fact a power-hungry monster was trying to take over the world, I would have sworn I had died and gone to heaven.

"Time to wake up, beautiful." He whispered in my ear, drawing me out of the light slumber I had drifted into. I moaned, rubbing my eyes as he nibbled my ear.

"I don't wanna." I mumbled, opening my eyes.

"I know but Billy sent me a message and said that the coast is clear. We need to figure out how to get to the seventh floor." He whispered, kissing my temple.

"Fine." I tossed the covers off of me and dragged myself out of the bed. Tommy stood up on his side, sliding his dark green boxers back on. I pulled my jeans and my t-shirt on, tossing my hoodie on. He was zipping up his jeans as he walked around the bed, his bare chest looking fantastic in the dim light of the hotel room. Reaching over, I tossed him his shirt. "Put that on or else we aren't getting anywhere." I said, smirking at him. He chuckled, pulling the green t-shirt on over his head. He pulled his cell phone from his pocket and looked at the screen.

"Billy said the reading of the building showed there was an entrance near your room. There doesn't seem to be anything around it on the seventh floor. I think if we head in that way, we will get out of view the quickest."

"Sounds good." I replied, shoving my feet into my sneakers. My morpher was tucked into the back of my jeans, out of sight from anyone. I saw the glint of his in the same spot as well. Tommy headed towards my door and opened it a crack. Peeking out, he looked up the hall to see if anyone was out there. He motioned to follow him as he darted out of the door and to the left. Adjacent from my door was a fire exit door that led to a stair case. He shoved it open quietly and we walked through, closing it behind me quickly. We found ourselves in a poorly lit staircase. The steps were made from concrete and red metal railings were building right into them. The stairs traveled for what felt like forever down to the first floor. Above, they only went up one flight.

"Come on." He whispered, taking my hand. We jogged up the stairs and found ourselves outside of a massive red metal door. It had no handle or knob on it and it stood taller than Tommy. Reaching out, Tommy touched the metal. The door creaked open, swinging into the room behind it. He motioned me to be quiet, a small beam of light shining from the crack. He slipped in first, still holding my hand. I followed.

The first thing I noticed was that it was considerably colder in here than it was in the stairwell. I could see my breath as a shiver ran down my spine. Around us, I saw we were in a large room. There was no real light but here were several floating globes above our heads, giving off a soft glow. Inside them, I could see streaks of electricity. The floor was covered in a light layer of fog, drifting from what seemed to be nowhere. Around the room, there were large crates set up here and there. Weird writing was on the side of them, a language I couldn't make out. Tommy squeezed my hand tightly, casting a glance over at me. "It's just like the dark dimension." He whispered.

"Look at the source." I replied. We continued walking, heading deeper into the room. There didn't seem to be anyone in here and it looked as if the room went on for the whole length of the floor. Along the left wall, there were four more large metal doors. Each was a different color. The first one was dark blue, the second a dark purple, the third deep red and the final was bronze. Each was as massive as the one that led in here and had no door handles on them. I pulled my cell phone out and took a picture of everything as we walked. The radar could map out the floor, but it couldn't take images like a camera walking around could.

At the far end of the enormous room, there was a golden chair set up. I realized it was a throne as we approached. It was a large size chair made from solid gold. It appeared as if it had been made from melting wax that hardened into metal. Light shimmered off of it from the floating orbs, making it shine. Next to it, there was a pedestal made from the same material. It stood about five feet in the air, another orb was perched on top of it. This was a great deal smaller than the other ones, about the size of a softball. Inside, it glowed with a brilliant emerald green hue. It was like green colored lightning in a giant glass marble. It was beautiful, and the light seemed to swirl around with no real pattern to it.

"That was Rita's throne." Tommy whispered, his jaw hardening when he spoke. "It was made out of the same type of gold as - AHHH!" Tommy suddenly gasped and let out a painful cry as he gripped his head.

"Tommy! What's wrong?" I asked. He didn't answer as he doubled over in pain. Quickly, I brought my communicator up to my mouth. "Alpha! Tommy and I need to be teleported!" I said. Static answered me, telling me that my message hadn't gone through. Tommy howled in pain, falling to the floor. "Tommy!" I bent down, trying to see what was happening. He writhed in pain, struggling to cover his head. As he did so, the back of his shirt rose, revealing his morpher. His green dino gem was glowing bright from the center of his morpher. Looking up, I saw that the green orb was also growing brighter now. "We need to get you out of here." I said, trying to pull him to his feet. I couldn't lift him though and he continued to buck his entire body in pain. And then suddenly, he disappeared.

It was as if I had blinked and Tommy vanished. Jumping to my feet, I took a fight stance before looking around. He was nowhere to be found and his cries of pain were gone too. Where could he have gone? Did Alpha hear me and teleport Tommy out? There was no flash of green though and he would have taken me as well. Reaching behind my back, I grabbed for my morpher but found it was gone. Frantically, I searched the floor around my feet where I had knelt to help Tommy. It wasn't there either. Had I dropped it on the way here? I knew I had picked it up from the hotel room before heading to explore the seventh floor. Where was it now?

"Looking for something?" Tommy's voice said behind me, starling me. I spun on my heel to look at him. A feeling of relief coursed through me when I saw it was him. He was standing about four feet away from me, his back to the red door we had come in through. In his out stretched hand was my morpher.

"I thought I had lost it." I said, stepping towards him. I went to grab it, but he pulled his arm back, keeping it out of my reach. "Tommy, this isn't the time to play keep away."

"Oh, I think it's the perfect time to play a game." He replied, smirking at me. I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

"What are you talking about? What happened? You were in pain."

"I was just shown the light, that's all." He said, tossing my morpher in the air and catching it like it was a baseball. He paced back and forth slightly, the sound of his heels on his boots echoed off the walls around us. "What's the matter, Kimmie? Did I worry you?" He asked, stopping closer to me. "As I recall, it was one of your more annoying traits."

"Tommy-."

"Shut up." He said, cutting me off. He moved in closed, standing next to me so our shoulders were lined up. "I don't want to hear what you have to say after what you did to me. You abandoned me. You abandoned everyone. No wonder it took you so long to show your face again in this town. I'd be ashamed too if I was out whoring it up while my boyfriend was 3,000 miles away." He said in a sharp tone, venom dripping from every word.

"We can talk about this later. It's not the time or place. We have to get out of here before someone catches us. I can't get ahold of anyone on the communicators." I said, trying to not let his words affect me. A sickening feeling was beginning to form in the pit of my stomach.

"It's because of the jamming radar Rosita has installed around the hotel. She knew that we'd try to break in here and she wanted to make sure that her trap worked." He responded, beginning to walk circles around me.

"Trap? What trap?" The gut wrenching feeling started to rise into my chest as I watched him circle me like a cat with a trapped mouse.

"I remember you being a whole lot smarter when we were kids. I guess all that time fucking up your life in Florida killed that for you." He said, sighing.

"Quit fooling around! We have to get out of here before she knows we're here." I said, taking a step towards the door. He appeared in front of me, almost as if he had teleported. I gasped, surprised by his speed.

"Now, Kim, I think we both know I can't let you leave. My new empress wouldn't like that much." Tommy smirked down at me as his eyes flashed with a green glow. It was something I hadn't seen them do in almost twenty years. Not since when I first met Tommy.

When he was the evil Green Ranger.
