Sorry about the late update. I missed a part in Chapter Sixteen so I'm adding it now. I was going to add it to the next chapter but it's taking me so long to write Chapter Seventeen, I decided against it.
Chapter Seventeen should be posted sometime before the next X-Men movie.
Chapter Sixteen Continued
They now powerless Mighty Morphin Ranger's waited restlessly for answers. Kimberly paced the center of the Command Center, worry written on her face. Her arms were crossed firmly under her breasts. Aisha sat on the floor against the computer watching her best friend pace. Rocky and Adam on either side of the remaining Yellow Ranger. Billy and Ethan were typing coordinates on the console. While Zordon was in his tube in the medical ward, making sure Tommy and Conner didn't do anything rash.
"I should have been able to protect her." Conner angrily. "I should have been there."
"I should have noticed Kira wasn't with us." Tommy said in turn, not really paying attention to the other team's leader. "He went straight for her before, why couldn't see he would do it again?"
They were pacing the length of the room. Zordon watching them patiently. He had been waiting for about an hour for the two to let out their anger.
"If Dr. O wasn't evil, he would kill me." Conner said running his fingers through his chestnut brown hair.
Tommy groaned and leaned against a wall, his hand rubbing the back of his neck in frustration.
"That's the fuc…" He stopped himself and sighed. "That's the problem. My older self being evil."
"Yeah, I guess." Conner leaned next to his future teacher. His shoulder placed on the wall and his arms across his chest. "Trent too. Two evil Rangers suck. I shoulda asked my brother for the number for the Ninja Storm team's school. They had to deal two evil Rangers at the same time."
"Really?" Tommy asked with half a smile. "They all survived?"
"Yeah," Conner smiled back. "They were turned good before anyone could be killed."
"That's usually the case."
"Good." Zordon's voice filled the room and the leaders jumped in shock. They never noticed the big giant floating head during their rants. "You've calmed down."
"Yeah," Tommy said pushing up from the wall and stared up at his mentor. "What are we going to do now, Zordon?"
Conner stood straight and faced the Eltarian with hopeful eyes.
Zordon sighed and looked down at his two leaders.
"I am having Ethan and Billy searching Lord Zedd's palace for traces of the girls. Kira should be radiating Ranger energy. Kimberly's energy, however, will be difficult to locate. Her temporary powers will make it harder than easier afraid."
"Why?" Conner said, his trademark confused expression firmly place.
"Because her teenage self still wields a power, a power she had formerly." Zordon tried to explain.
"But they're different." Tommy said. "One holds the Pterodactyl, the other the Crane."
"Yes," Zordon nodded. "but both hold the signature of both powers, making it difficult to differentiate."
Tommy and Conner hung their heads.
Zordon remained silent and prayed Alpha would return soon. They needed all the help they could get and the power.
