Rita's wand

"Let go of me you overgrown lizard!" Billy yelled to Goldar when he grabbed him and started to carry him away. It was quite painful, Goldar was so much stronger then Billy and as Finster had taken his power coin from him again, there was nothing else he could do but let them take him again.

Billy sighed, this didn't get as he had planned at all.

He was taken to Rita, who sat looking at the battle in her telescope.

"Aah so you're back little Blue Ranger!" she laughed. "Come and sit down, the good part has just begun." She said, but she lied. She had actually been enjoying this battle for a long time. But now she wanted to share the pleasure with Billy so she made him a viewing globe, very similar to the one Zordon had. And Goldar put him down; there was nothing he could do anymore anyway.

Billy sighed, he knew Goldar was right. When Rita's viewing globe was finished he could see the pterodactyl and the mastodon fight the enormous squid Rita had forced him to invent. And they seemed to win.

When Rita saw the reaction in Billy's eyes she immediately turned to the globe herself to see what had happened when she had turned her eyes in another direction.

"WHAT?! YOU TOLD ME THAT THING WAS UNSTOPPABLE!" Billy enjoyed this moment.

"No Rita! Some strange mixture of that me who was under your brain control and the other me who was trapped inside my body and did everything he could to escape… told you that thing was unstoppable!"

"OH YEAH!! But look at this!" Billy knew exactly what would come next. But he didn't dare to make the move he knew he had to do yet; he knew that he would only get one chance so he wasn't allowed to make any mistake.

Rita walked over to the window and lifted the wand over her head. Billy walked a little closer to the viewing globe to distract Goldar and Scorpina, both of them was to close. He listened anxiously to Rita when she reeled off the spell that would make his creation grow and destroy the Earth. Then he decided that the time had come.

He grabbed the globe in front him and made it roll over to Scorpina and Goldar, none of them was prepared for this. Then he ran over to Rita and grabbed her wand.

"AAAAAAAAA LET GO OF ME YOU DAMNED VERMIN!!" But Billy didn't have any plans to let go of the wand, the entire world was dependent on if were able to keep that grip until Zack and Kimberly could defeat the monster or not. Goldar tried to pull him away, Scorpina tried to pull him away, Squatt, Baboo, Finster and Green Ranger tried to pull him away and Rita tore the wand in her direction.

Billy clanged to the wand with all the strength he could force his body to. He was getting tired, and as the globe had exploded, he didn't know how far Zack and Kim had come. He had to cling to the wand until all of his powers left him.

Suddenly he felt a jerk in his arms, and then he heard Rita scream in alarm. He opened his eyes, which he had kept closed during his attempts to take the wand. Then he saw it, in three pieces…

"YOU WASTREL, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW LONG IT TAKES TO REPAIR THAT?!"

"Actually no!" Billy replied from the floor where he had ended up after the fight. He panted for air at the same time as he hoped that it would take very long to repair the wand.

"FOUR MONTHS AT LEAST!!" Rita roared and then glared at him for a few seconds. "GOLDAR, TAKE HIM AWAY!"

Then Billy was taken to a dark and damp dungeon. Goldar pushed him in so he fell over on the floor, and locked the door. Billy really began to feel very insignificant. Ok, Rita didn't have her wand anymore but they had taken all of his Power Ranger equipment away from him again. He was defenceless, and even if he didn't knew if it was safe for him to morph into Blue Ranger yet, it felt terrible to know that he couldn't do it even if he wanted.

At the same time he felt proud that he had succeeded to destroy Rita's wand, he hadn't only rescued his friends and the rest of the world for the moment, he had made sure they wouldn't have anything to do with Rita for four months.

But there was one thing he couldn't stop thinking about. Something he had seen in Rita's viewing globe. On the ground, he had seen something red lying on the ground, and it hadn't move, and about 200 metres to the left side of that spot it was something yellow. Billy could only find one trustworthy explanation; it was Jason and Trini lying on the ground.

Why had they been lying on the ground…? Billy swallowed in despair and then he began to shiver, he could only find one trustworthy explanation to that question too.

He cringed into a corner, both because he was freezing and because of the fear. "You destroyed Rita's wand!" he reminded himself, trying to find any comfort in that. But he couldn't chase the second voice in his head away… Trini…

"Billy, we will destroy that stone, and if you and Rita are in the same place then, we will come there and rescue you. It's almost over now"

"It's almost over now…"
