Billy

Billy and Tommy came back to Rita's palace and morphed out of the Blue and Green Rangers. Billy fell to his knees. He shivered and cried and was totally exhausted, still he forced his body to stand up.

"Rita, you bloody cow … YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT AGAIN SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST GIVE UP!" Billy tried to attack Rita before anyone could catch him but Rita just sent a spell in his direction and then he was trapped in a cage with burning bars. He was forced to give up his attempts to attack her.

Tommy screamed as he saw the cage growing up to lock Billy in and he tried to run over to him, but he was stopped by Baboo and Scorpina. Rita pointed at him.

"AND YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING OF THIS, RIGHT?"

Suddenly Billy felt a little ounce of hope come back to him; Tommy had tried to fight back.

"TOMMY TRY TO REMEMBER SOMETHING, AND WARN ONE OF THE OTHERS" Tommy was teleported back to Earth and at the same time, he forgot everything.

Rita watched Billy, his face was still covered with tears. Still Billy glared back at her, with insurgence in his eyes; refusing to allow Rita the pleasure to notice how lonely he really felt. Rita turned away from her prisoner and began to prepare the next step in her plan.

"He really is a hard one to hypnotize, not like that Tommy at all …" Rita walked towards the door, everyone left the room.

"But I will find a way to control you Blue Ranger, no matter how much you're fighting back, I will take you, sooner or later. AND UNTIL THEN YOU WILL REMAIN HERE!!"

Then she left Billy alone in the burning cage. He sighed, deep in his heart he knew that Tommy wouldn't remember anything, and if Tommy did remember some details it would never seem important enough to him, he would probably just believe that it was a dream. He though back on the fight during the orienteering competition. He had seen it all with his own eyes, he had tried to scream, tried to warn his friends in any way and he had tried to stop his own arms and legs from doing what they did. He had not been hypnotized like Tommy; he had just been locked in, inside himself, too weak to do anything.

Rita had even controlled the morphing for him, and even if Rita had let him keep the power coin, he still had an ominous feeling that it wouldn't help him, that he would only fell into that horrible trance again and wouldn't be able to do anything except what Rita made him do.

Billy sank down on the floor, wiped the tears away, blew his nose, wrapped his arms around his knees, tried to ignore the heat frpm the bars and waited for Rita to come back to try to hypnotize him again. The whole time he tried to convince himself that Tommy had succeeded to remember something important after all, and told Jason or Trini or anyone.

After some hours he fell asleep, mentally exhausted, weary and depressed and with only two things to hope for: that Tommy would remember some unimportant detail, and succeed to trick the Green Ranger inside himself in the right moment so his friends would get a chance to guess what had happened, or that Rita wasn't able to hypnotize him after all. Knowing Rita she would have done that by now if she really knew how to do, nothing she had tried this far had worked, he was still able to move the way he wanted, at least when he was himself.
