Tommy struggled to get free, but whoever had him had tight grip on him. His hands were quickly pulled behind his back and he felt someone put hand cuffs on him. He felt someone put him in some type of sack from waist down and tight straps were quickly buckled. The person drug him into a room and laid him down on the floor.
"What do you want with me?" Tommy asked staring at the person dressed in a black mask, coat, and gloves. The person didn't answer other than they threw a dust on him that immediately stunned him, and he couldn't move. As soon as Tommy was stunned by the dust, the person began to remove his hand cuff and feet cuffs. They grabbed waist down straight jacket and put it on Tommy. "Why can't I move?"
"I threw a magic dust on you that will prevent you from moving for ten minutes," answered the person dressed in black. They started to fasten the buckles to prevent Tommy from moving from the waist down. "There are plans for plans for you."
"What type of plans?" Tommy demanded watching the person walk over to a sack. He looked down at his waist and noticed the straight jacket was shaped like a mermaid tail. "This is so humiliating, I look like a mermaid."
The person removed their mask and it was Rita. "Hello, Tommy!" she greeted. All Tommy did was give her a glare. "Don't, I get a hello or anything like that?"
"No!" I demand to know what is going on!" Tommy shouted watching Rito appear in the room.
"Ms. Kirk, is really Rita Reynolds," Rito explained removed Tommy's communicator. Rito threw it to the side. "You won't be-"
"-give that back! What do you mean Ms. Kirk is Rita Reynolds?" Tommy gasped as he felt Rito pull his hands behind his back and tying them together as tight as he could get it. He tied ropes around Tommy's elbows and waist pinning his hands to the center of his back. "What does she want with me?"
"We met her and Ms. Peterson awhile back. They agreed to work with us, so we could capture you," Rito revealed watching Tommy's face turn bright red. "You are going to her factory and no one will be able to locate you. And while we're on the topic. Rita Reynold's really Jan's aunt Iris. Iris had Rita murdered short after Jan was born. She has been going by Ivy Kirk since she forged her name on a witness protection form sheet to avoid people from learning who she really is."
Tommy struggled to move as he was in shock and disbelief from learning all that information. "You won't get away with this!" he warned through clenched teeth. "Kim will notice I'm not out by the pool and she'll come looking for me!"
"Ivy has locked the room that Kimberly is in from the outside, so she can't get out," informed Rita headed over into Tommy's direction. "When Ivy let us in, she told Mr. Kaplan she saw someone dressed in black coats and masks outside and the school is on lock down."
Rito walked over to Tommy and gave Tommy a shot. After a few minutes, Tommy's eyes closed, and he was out cold. "Sis, you said if I helped I could give him a haircut," Rito reminded her as he pulled out a pair of succors. "I want to have some fun with this."
"Make sure he looks awful!" Rita requested watching her brother cutting one side of Tommy's hair to the chin length level. "We're also going to dye his hair too!"
"Sis, I wasn't going to make him pretty!" Rito laughed as he began to cut the other side of Tommy's hair. He started cutting it at different lengths "By the time I'm done even Kimberly will think he looks bad." He started cutting the left side of Tommy's hair at different lengths and gave Tommy bangs on the left side.
Rita let out a big laugh as she watched her brother finishing on giving Tommy the world's worst haircut. "Now, it's time to dye his hair," she informed picking up a bottle of blonde dye and a squirted it in Tommy's hair. They read the instructions and followed them carefully. Once he was a blond, they dyed the bottom parts of his hair light purple. Finally, they gave him hot pink high lights.
Ivy Kirk walked in the room and started laughing as soon as she saw how pitiful her nephew looked. "It's prefect!" she complemented taking pictures of Tommy. The pictures printed out and she picked them up. "The girl will never know what happened to him. I'm just going to tell her that people who came into the school took him hostage-"
"-that will never work!" interrupted Rito as wrapped rope tightly around Tommy's shoulders. "She will know we were-"
"-Hooker's Lips," Rita called out and a pair of red lips jumped off the ceiling tile and showed itself to them. "I have orders for you."
"How may I serve you?" asked Hooker's Lips as she floated around the room. "I've been waiting to attack for a long time."
"I want you to hypnotize Kimberly where she will forget about Tommy for a while," Rita demanded. "When I created you, I created it where you could show the future. I want you to show her a fake future of what it would have been like she went to the Pan Global Games. Show her an image of herself being the best on the team, being better than anyone else at the Pan Global Games, and show her an image of herself winning a gold medal and a trophy."
Hooker's Lips smiled, and the shade of her lips turned bright pink. "I can do that!" she smiled while floating in the air. "Where is she?"
"In the girls changing room. It is locked so you'll have to travel under the door or through a vent," Ms. Kirk informed as they walked out of the room. They watched Hooker's Lips go under the door and there was a flash.
"PLEASE TELL ME!" Kimberly begged. "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE IF I WENT TO THE PAN GLOBAL GAMES!"
"I'LL TAKE YOU TO A NICE PLACE AND SHOW YOU!" answered Hooker's Lips.
"Please teleport him to the basement of my factory and leave him there," Ms. Kirk whispered to Rita watching the changing room open and Kimberly walk and Rito teleported out of the room.
Ms. Kirk smirked as she watched Kimberly walk around like a zombie slave. Her arms were stretched out like a zombie. "Hail Hooker's Lips," Kimberly chanted as she walked around in a hypnotized state. Her eyes were flashed red and she was still in her purple bikini. "Hail Hooker's Lips."
The Hooker's Lips flew over to Ms. Kirk and they both laughed as Kimberly walked around chanting the same thing repeatedly as she walked around. "Can we have some fun before you show her," Ms. Kirk whispered. "I am bored and want entertainment tonight. I want to see her dance, dressed like a clown and do clown tricks, dressed as a mime and acting like a mime, and funny things like that."
"It can be arranged," answered Hooker's Lips in a quiet voice. "When I hypnotized her, I told her she'd act like a zombie slave and follow my commands until I told her different. She can do this for hours or even a few days!"
Ken Reynolds and Brooke Peterson walked down to the basement and found an unconscious Tommy with an awful haircut. "I never did like him," Brooke revealed running her fingers through Tommy's hair. "And I never did like his precious girlfriend either."
"Rita Repulsa and Rito Revolto gave him a shot to make him have a low self-image, unloved, and afraid of everything," he remarked tying rope around Tommy's knees, legs, and ankles. "She said the make dust will make it where is undetectable. According to Rita Repulsa the only thing that can break the spell is if him and Kimberly kiss or show love and affection towards each other. But, it will never happen because she'll never learn who he is. He is going to be so afraid she'll reject him."
"I can't wait to see how his precious Kimberly will cope with this!" Brooke laughed. "Tommy's hair dye won't wash out for a while and the disguise will fool her."
"Let's take him down to the basement," Ken suggested. He threw Tommy over his shoulder and walked down the stairs. Ken threw Tommy on the floor not caring that Tommy hit his head on the hard-stone floor. "He should be waking up soon."
Ten minutes later, Tommy slowly opened his eyes feeling pain in his head. "What a headache," he told himself. Tommy tried to move his arms only to find out that he could move them or his legs. All he could do was wiggle his toes and fingers. After adjusting his vision, he looked at himself and saw he was still wearing the waist down straight jacket. Why hadn't anyone come for him when he was captured at school? And why hadn't anyone come to this place to rescue him?
"Hello?! Is anyone here!?" Tommy called as he began to wiggle around on the floor. He immediately remembered what had happened before Rita and Rito kidnapped him. Kimberly had told him she was thinking about something and would be right back. She had been in the changing room for a while and it had dawned on him she had opened the box. When he realized that he wanted to go in there and kiss her until he had to break apart to catch his breath. Kimberly must be worried and heartsick after she realized he was missing. He had to find her and let her know he was okay.
"Hello, Tommy," said an unfamiliar voice. He looked up and saw a fat man with grey hair walking over to him. "I don't guess we met. I'm Ken Reynolds and I'm married to Ivy Kirk."
"You've met me," Ms. Peterson chirped walking into the basement taking a seat. "We're such good friends-"
"We're not friends! "Tommy interrupted while squirming around on the floor to get closer to Ms. Peterson. When he got as close as he could, he was able to give her a hard kick even with legs and feet tied together. "You always loved to make trouble for me, you little liar!"
Ms. Peterson, pushed Tommy aside and went and opened a trunk. "I think you need to be quiet, Mr. Oliver!" she grinned grabbing a piece of cloth. "You've been very disrespectful to your teacher."
"You are a monster not my teach-MMMMMPH!" Tommy shouted. Before he could finish Ms., Peterson shoved the thicker piece of white cloth into his mouth and tied it quickly behind his as tight as she could. "Mmmm, mmmmph, mfpmffmmf!"
"That's better, isn't it?" Ken asked as he placed two pieces of tape over Tommy's mouth. He held Tommy still as Ms. Peterson removed the waist down straight jacket and tied rope above and below his knees and around his ankles. "We don't have to listen to him."
"I think we need to put him in time out," Ms. Peterson suggested as they put Tommy on his feet. "He needs to learn he can't get away with being disrespectful."
Ken's eyes examined Tommy in his restrained form. "Why don't we make him hop around for a while?" he suggested taking a seat in a chair. "It will tire him out."
"Mmmph?!" Tommy moaned in question.
"Yes, you heard us correctly!" Ms. Peterson smirked as she began to snicker at his hair cut. "You look so funny with that haircut."
"Mmmmph!" Tommy cried out. Why were they talking about him having a funny hair cut? He had just gotten a trim last week and no one said anything about it. Where they trying to make him feel insecure about himself or did he really have a funny looking hair cut? "Mmmm, mmmmph, mfpmffmmf."
"Alright Tommy, hop!" order Ken as he took Ms. Peterson's hand in his.
Tommy started to slowly hop around the room on his feet. "Mmmph! Mmmmph!" he grunted through his gag as he hopped around the room. He was already sore all over from the ropes rubbing against his bare skin. Tommy's eyes landed on a mirror and he saw a person with a horrible looking haircut. Was it him? He had to know. Once he hit the center of the room, he hopped over to the mirror and saw Ken and Mrs. Peterson laughing in the background. Staring back at him was a blonde headed boy with a pitiful looking haircut. His eyes flashed green as he stood realizing it was him. He was no longer the handsome looking boy that Kimberly Hart loved. Dried blood was on the front of his chest. The brown locks of shoulder length brown hair that Kimberly loved to run her fingers through were gone. In its place was a side of chin length hair and the other side was just a mess of uneven hair cut at different length. Would she want someone this ugly looking? Would she still consider him her "Tommy", her best friend, her falcon, her white knight, and the boy she loved? He feared what she'd say if her eyes landed on him. Would she laugh and dump him? He wasn't sure anymore. Why hadn't he asked her if she realized she loved him and wanted to marry him, instead of letting her say she was thinking about something and she'd be right back? He wishes she could have seen the expression on her face when she opened the box. If only he had gone with her, maybe he wouldn't be there. But if he had gone with her, there was a chance she'd be right there with him, with a horrible haircut, having to hop around, and she also restrained just like he was. As much as he wanted to have her with him, he didn't want her to go what she was going through.
Ken walked over to Tommy and put him in a wagon. "We need to put you in safe keeping," he said as he opened the door and walked outside. Next to the factory was a small building and Ken opened the door. He laid Tommy down on the floor. "You'll stay here for now."
"Mmmph!" Tommy grunted as he struggled to get free. As he struggled the ropes only got tighter. "Mmmph!"
"You can't escape," Ken informed watching Tommy struggle and squirm around on the floor. "No one will look for you."
Tommy started to struggle around and make as much noise as he could after Ken shut the door. After hours of struggling and making noise he wore himself off and drifted off to sleep. Ken was right no one was going to come for him.
Kimberly woke up in the command center laying on a table. She was covered in nice warm blankets and her head was resting on a fluffy pillow. "Where am I?" she yawned as she sat up. "How did I get here?"
"After Mr. Kaplan announced we were no longer in lock down mode, school was dismissed early," Billy explained in a sad tone. We were looking for you and Tommy for hours. When we found you, you were under a hypnotic spell. There was a mime costume and a clown costume by you. Ms. Kirk was telling you do things to entertain her and you did them. There was also a pair of lips floating around. We confronted Ms. Kirk and she fled the scene-"
"-we threw a bucket of water on you and you were out of the trance," Aisha continued with a tear running down her face. "As soon as you were out of the trance, the lips swallowed you and we had to chase the lips to rescue you. Do you remember anything after being swallowed?"
"I remember being showed what would have happened if I went to the Pan Global Games," Kimberly answered sitting up on the table. Aisha draped a blanket over her shoulders since she was still in the purple bikini Ms. Kirk gave her to swim in. "I was the best on the team and I was prefect during practice. I went on to the Pan Global Games and I won the gold medal. I wanted to go so bad-"
"-Kimberly," Kat interrupted walking over to her friend. "We've got worse things to worry about. Tommy is missing, and we can't find him."
"WHAT?!" Kimberly gasped feeling her heart break into thousands of pieces as she got off the table. "He was down in Ms. Kirk's gym with me the whole time. The last thing I remember before becoming hypnotized is see someone teleport out of the room."
She dropped to her knees and stared sobbing. Aisha and Kat kneeled beside her. "Are you okay?" Aisha asked wrapping an arm around her. "We'll find Tommy. He's strong I'm sure he's okay."
Kimberly's back pack fell off the table and landed next to her. She slowly unzipped it and opened a pink velvet box. "Inside was a beautiful ring with a pink princess cut gem. She stared at the ring realizing what it was. It was the first time she had ever seen the ring since she had wasted time staring at pink velvet box in the changing room. A note fell out of the box and landed by her.
Kimberly picked up the note and carefully unfolded it. It was a note from Tommy. Her heart sank as she tearfully began to read it.
Beautiful,
Congratulations' on the gymnastics tournament. I couldn't be prouder of the girl I love most in the world. Please don't hold back on going to the Pan Global Games if you get a chance to go. I've already talked with my parents and they said I could marry you and go with you. Zordon says that I can keep my ranger powers and teleport back and forth when needed. And if you don't accept, I still want to marry you and we'll enjoy our senior year together even if we're in Angel Grove or Paris.
Love,
Tommy
"I'm so sorry Kimberly," Kat sighed as the others gathered around them.
"Alpha, can we start trying to run a search for Tommy?" Billy asked as the others helped Kimberly to her feet.
"I hope he's okay and we find him soon," Kimberly stated sadly looking down at the ring. "I love him so much."
Aisha took to the ring out of the box and placed in Kimberly's hand. "Why don't you start wearing this?" she suggested. "It can remind you of how much you and Tommy love each other and will find your way back to each other." Aisha watched as Kimberly slid the ring on her finger.
"I hope its soon," Kimberly sniffed looking down at her ring.
Tommy's eyes slowly opened when he felt something crawling on him. Several mice jumped off his body and ran out through the small hole in the shed door. He noticed he was able to move again and the white cloth was hanging down. Tommy slowly peeled the tape off his lips and threw the cloth on the floor. Standing up, he stretched as he headed to the door. He hated the fact that mice had been crawling on him and wanted to bathe as quickly as he could. Tommy reached out and tried to open the door. To his luck the door opened, and he stepped out into the open. Breathing in the fresh air, he realized it was getting dark and he needed to find a place to hide. Tommy looked around and saw a path way heading towards a park. He slowly walked towards the park realizing where it was taking him to a familiar place. The Angel Grove Park to be exact. He didn't want to run into anyone looking pitiful and no longer handsome. When he first looked in the mirror, he didn't even recognize himself at first. Tommy had heard someone say the name Martin Pettis when he kidnapped. Who was Martin Pettis? He had never heard of that name before and didn't know anyone by that name. An idea struck inside his mind. He could go by the name Martin Pettis if he ran into anyone. It was better than saying he was really Tommy Oliver and being rejected. Tommy had no idea what that was going to do.
note:
To clear things up the spell on Tommy didn't take effect until he saw himself in the mirror. When he runs into Kimberly it will really take effect.
