Chapter Ten
At the Command Center, the other Rangers had teleported there safely. Kimberly was relieved to see her friends and she explained to them what had happened in the park. Now, they stood silently in the dark room waiting impatiently for Zordon to find Tommy.
"Another one of Rita's wicked plans," Kimberly stated breaking the silence. "She's gonna try and regain control of Tommy. I just know it."
She revealed her greatest fear to the others. She couldn't stand it if Tommy was turned evil again. They barely survived the first time and she didn't believe they could survive against the evil Green Ranger again.
She looked over at Billy standing at the console. He and Alpha were trying to help Zordon locate Tommy. She wondered what was taken them so long. With all three of them looking, they should have found the Green Ranger by now.
"I can't get a lock on him," Zordon finally said. "Rita must be holding him in her dimensional prison."
Kimberly's heart sank. For once, she wished Zordon wasn't so honest. She hated bad news.
"Billy," Jason addressed the Blue Ranger. "Have you come up with anything?"
Billy turned to face his friends with a grim look on his face.
"Not yet," he informed. "I'm still trying to tune into the frequency on Tommy's morpher…"
All of a sudden the loud noise of the Command Center's alarm blared loudly in their ears.
"Ai yi yi," Alpha said holding his hands up to his head. "The alarm."
"Look, the viewing globe," Kimberly said approaching the glowing orb across from to Zordon's tube.
The others turned to the globe and all stared in shock. A familiar zord was attacking the city.
"The Dragonzord…," Jason began.
"…Attacking Angel Grove…," Trini continued to say.
"…It can only mean one thing…," Zack added.
"…Rita has regained control of the Dragonzord…," Zordon finished.
Kimberly stared in horror as her greatest fear had come to be. She just knew Rita had turned Tommy against them again. She couldn't go through this again, but she knew she had no choice. It was her job to help protect the world.
"We gotta stop it," Jason said.
"What about Tommy," Kimberly asked hoping the others weren't thinking the same as she.
"We'll have to seek him down too," Zack said dashing her hope and she sighs.
"Wait," Zordon said suddenly. "My sensors indicate the Dragonzord we see is an imposter."
The Pink Ranger couldn't help but be relieved. If this zord attacking the city was a fake which meant Tommy was still good.
"One of Rita's creations," Trini asked just as relieved as Kim.
"She's trying to lure us into a trap," Billy deduced.
"We don't have a choice," Jason said going into leader mode. "It's gotta be stopped.
"Be careful, Power Rangers," Zordon said.
Jason turned and reached behind his back for his morpher. The other Rangers did the same instantly falling into the stance they knew so well.
"It's morphin' time," Jason exclaimed.
"Mastodon," Zack called out.
"Pterodactyl," Kimberly cried.
"Triceratops," Billy yelled.
"Saber-tooth Tiger," Trini shout.
"Tyrannosaurus," Jason bellowed.
The teens were now morphed into Power Rangers and ready for battle, they teleported to the city.
