Tommy was at the Youth Center with his fellow ranger's. They were supposed to be celebrating but, for some reason, Tommy did not feel right.
To the rest of them he said, "Do you guys realize that Adam didn't show up today?"
"Yeah," said Kim.
"He's been closing off to us all lately," said Aisha.
"I'm worried about him," Rocky interjected, "We need to go and check on him."
"Yeah, you're right," Billy admitted, "I don't know why he's closed off to all us."
The Rangers all got up to go and see Adam. They wanted to let him know that they cared. None of them could figure out exactly why he had been so unhappy and closed off to them, because it just wasn't in his nature, and he was acting a little differently than usual.
Finster was in his room and Rita walked in. He was sturing some more depression potion. Rita was outraged and screamed, "You Bubblehead! What are you doing? We've got Adam caught and placed in the Life Drainer. We don't need him depressed anymore."
Finster grabbed the back of his head, because it was hurting after Rita had sent an electric bold there with her wand. He apologized, "Yes, my queen."
"Now get to working on capturing the life we are draining from that power brat. When he is dead Zedd will no longer have to worry about him," Rita instructed.
"Yes, I know, for I have heard the prophecy as well. Zedd's first descendant to join up with Zordon with either destroy him or be destroyed by him. Though, you know those predictions seldom, if ever come true, Rita."
"I know," Rita snapped, "Though Zedd believes those superstitious people. Remember, they are all members of his family, anyways, with Adam gone we will be at an advantage until Zordon can find a new ranger."
The rangers knocked on Adam's door and he wasn't there. Kim suggested, "Let's try the Youth Center again, and see if he's not there. If not, we should contact Zordon."
"You're right," Tommy agreed.
After checking through the park and the Youth Center the rangers couldn't find him so Rocky said, "It's time to contact Zordon."
"Yeah!" many of them agreed simultaneously.
"Zordon!" Tommy said.
"Rangers teleport here immediately," Zordon said.
"Be right there," Tommy replied as the rangers then teleported to the command center.
"Where is Adam?" Tommy demanded as soon as they'd arrived.
"He surrendered to Lord Zedd," Zordon told them.
"That's not true!" Rocky butted in, "He wouldn't do that!"
"Your right, Rocky" Zordon said, "Please let me finish."
"Sorry," Rocky apologized.
"The Adam that we know is loyal. He wouldn't do that," Zordon said to puzzled the faces before him, "Adam has somehow been receiving a Depression Potion."
Rocky inquired, "Is that why he has been separating himself from us?"
"Yes," Zordon said, "It brings your very sad memories to the front of your mind and makes you forget all of your happy ones."
"Where is he now?" Aisha asked.
"Well, potions like that have one bad side effect. They bring extreme anger. It would be irresponsible of me to allow him to keep his powers while under the potion, until I could figure out where Zedd was getting it to him, otherwise he may destroy Angle Grove or any other number of terrible things could happen. Zedd knew that I would have to take them from him. I wasn't thinking about it at the time but I sent him home after I had taken them from him. Zedd was able to convince him to go with him in his desperation. Rangers I made a mistake by letting him go. Can you forgive me?" Zordon informed and then apologized.
"Yes," said Tommy, "But where did Zedd take him?"
"He is slowly having his life sucked out of him. Rangers you must get him free before Zedd kills him."
"Zedd has never killed one of us before, why has he tried so hard to kill Adam?" Tommy requested to know.
"When I first fought against Rita and Zedd, Zedd had a short period where he'd married my daughter. It wasn't for much time, but it was long enough for them to have a child. Zedd eventually found out her relation to me and threw her out. She was broken hearted and returned to my family to die of a broken heart. Her son I placed with a family so I could watch over him." Zordon told them.
"Why didn't she recognize him?" Aisha inquired.
"Zedd could take a human form back then. Zedd's family is full of dark prophets. They make predictions, one predicted that a decendant of his son would join me and over throw him, Zedd will stop at nothing to kill him to stop that from happening." Zordon informed them all.
