Chapter Thirty Five-Finding Safety and Confusion

"How did you guys get here?" Was the first thing that came out of Ann's mouth.

Kim sighed. "It's a really long story, but I'll try to make it quick. So, we were all captured by Goldar and that other guy, and they took us to a Dark Dimension in the moon palace."

"All of you?" Ted asked.

"Except for Tommy." Hayley said. "We don't know what they did with him."

"Yeah." Kim agreed. "And Zordon wasn't there either. We think they may have figured out who he was, and taken him somewhere else."

Hayley nodded her agreement and Kim continued.

"Anyway, Goldar was trying to get some information out of us."

"Like what?" Alternate Ann interrupted, she did that a lot.

"Like where all of our kids are." Hayley said. "Where are they by the way? I haven't heard a word from upstairs."

"David's been giving them all cookies." Ted said loooking sideways at Ann. "To calm them down. They've all been getting a little upset at the abcense of their parents."

"But they're all here?" Hayley questioned. Ann nodded.

"We need to get them out of here." Kim said suddenly.

"Where are we gonna take them?" Ted questioned. "We had this problem before. There's nowhere we can take all of them."

"Aren't there any other ranger bases anywhere?" Alternate David asked. "Even in our time, there were other teams. Surely some of them are still around?"

Everyone was silent for a moment. Even if there were other teams still around, none of them knew how to find out, or contact them.

"I've got it." Hayley said suddenly. Everyone turned to look at her.

"What?" Both Ann's asked at the same time.

"No patience." Kim muttered.

"Back when we used this place," She began, indicating the room they were in, "Tommy and I set up this communication system. It enabled us to contact all of the other ranger bases. I bet it could even connect to the old command center."

"We should try it." Ted said. "But is anyone still around?"

"In my time," Kim began, "Tommy mentioned something about Dana and Ryan Mitchell rebuilding the aquabase. Do you think they would still be there after all of this time? It's been seventeen years."

Hayley was beside the computer in a flash and pressing buttons. In seconds, the face of Dana Mitchell appeared on screen.

"Hayley?" Dana questioned. "Is something wrong?"

"Something is wrong." Hayley said. "Very wrong."

"So let me get this straight." Zachary said. "We are under water. In a former ranger base. And we are going to be livinghere until what's-her-face is defeated?"

"And where are our parents?" Willie interrupted.

Dana nodded at Zachary, and turned to Willie. "I dont know. I think you should ask Kim or Hayley about that."

Ann turned back to Kim and Hayley. "You never did finish telling us about that. You just left off with Goldar trying to find out where all of us were."

Kim sighed. "When Goldar couldn't get any information out of us, Scarlette came in. She cast a spell of some sort over all of us. But it didn't effect me, or Hayley."

"And we don't know why not." Hayley added. "It just didn't do anything to us."

"Anyway, the spell turned everyone evil. Or at least they looked evil to me. They obeyed her, which would have to mean that they were evil. She sent all of us back to Earth, without noticing that nothing had changed with either Hayley or myself. We figured you would be at the Dino Thunder Command Center, and went there first. And that's where we found you."

"So mom and dad are evil?" Ann questioned. "Not again."

"Wait a minute." Alternate Ann interrupted. "Was dad with everyone when they were sent to Earth?"

"No." Kim said softly. "Scarlette had him."

"This is bad." Both Ann's said at the same time. Both David' srolled their eyes, although they agreed.

"So," Kimmie said, "Any ideas on how we break this spell?"

No one had any ideas.

"So then, " Kaylie said, "What do we do now?"

Alternate Ann was just starting to answer. "For now, we should just try to kepp every- Woah! What just happened?"

She had just felt a slight ripple, and when it ended the lights suddenly became much dimmer. Ann turned around, to find that no one was standing there anymore except for her twin.

"What just happened?" She repeated.

"i have no idea." David replied. "But look at everything. Now it looks like nobody's been here for ages. Something big just happened the changed something."

"But what did it change?" Ann asked.

David was about to reply when ann held up her hand for silence. She pointed at the door to show that she had heard something. David shrugged, and took a step towrds the door. Before he could go any further, however, the door opened. In walked a young girl. She looked about twelve, and she was rather dirty and dressed in all black. And she looked exactly like someone the twins knew very well.

"Kaylie?" Ann questioned.
