Chapter Thirteen
At the Park, the five original Rangers landed safely. Kimberly gazed up at the sky. It was clear and she hoped that it was good sign. They couldn´t afford to fail this mission.
"Kim, is this the place where Goldar captured Tommy," Jason asked her.
The Pink Ranger looked around. They were standing on top of a tall hill and they were at the pond where Tommy had been taken earlier that day.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure," she answered.
"Good," Trini said. "Let's get ready to put up the decoders."
As the Rangers began to set up the decoders, they did not pay attention to their surroundings. Billy held one decoder and Trini held the other. The others watched as their friends worked. They all didn't notice the school bullies approach them from bottom of the steep hill.
"Is this right, Billy," the Yellow Ranger asked.
She was standing a couple of feet away from her smart friend.
"Almost," the Blue Ranger replied. "They need to line up exactly.
"How soon, Billy," Jason asked.
He was beginning to become impatient. He wanted to get the mission over with. He had a bad feeling that Rita would allow the world to remain calm for long.
"That should just about do it," Billy said finishing setting up his decoder.
Trini finished with her decoder as well.
"Let's fire these puppies up," Zack said glad that the Blue and Yellow Rangers were done.
Kimberly scrunched up her face as she heard odd huffs and grunts coming from the slide of the hill.
"Hey," she said getting her friends' attention. "Do you guys hear that really gross sound?"
The other Rangers paused and listened. They too heard the strange noises.
"Yeah," they said in unison.
The group turned to the slope of the hill. They wondered what could possibly make such cruel noises. It wasn't long until Bulk and Skull appeared, struggling to the top of the hill.
"Hey," Bulk said out of breath as they finally made it to the top. "You guys are in our private park."
"Yeah," Skull squeaked. He too found it hard to breath after the climb. "Our private park."
"Actually, fellows this is a public park," Billy corrected. "Anyone can visit."
"Yeah, anyone but you, brainiac," Skull said. "So, get going."
The thin bully paused as he took a deep breath.
"Now," he finished.
"Just leave us alone," Trini sneered. "We've got work to do."
"Hey, Bulk, what are those," Skull asked his partner as he noticed the decoders.
"Hey, I don't know," Bulk answered. "Let's find out."
He went to touch a decoder, but the Black Ranger stepped in his way, stopping him.
"Hey," Zack said. "You can look but don't touch."
Bulk glared at the boy.
"Nobody tells me what to do," he said as he lunged after Zack.
Zack dodged and Bulk turned and charged again. The bully was like a raging bull. Zack almost felt like saying torro as he dodged again. This time the big bully flew, head first into a nearby trash bin. The bin tipped over and rolled down the hill, Bulk still inside and Skull at his hill.
The Rangers laughed. They really needed that break from their mission.
