Chapter Thirteen: Destroy Alex
Moon Palace
Lord Zedd had left two of his newest minions to watch over Audrey. She was still unconscious. Tristan and Logan, however bright they weren't, watched over her proudly. If other minions came into the area she was being held, they loved to point out that they were watching her just as Lord Zedd had told them to.
Audrey groaned as she began to wake up. She had a huge headache. She opened her eyes and tried to focus. She saw two creatures. "Where am I?" She asked.
"You're in Lord Zedd's holding room." Tristan answered her. "You're his prisoner."
"Why would I be his prisoner, you fool?" Audrey asked. "I serve him."
Jason's Dojo
Alex walked into the dojo and saw Jason instructing a class. He waved over to him.
Jason nodded. "Meet me in my office, I'll be there in a minute."
Alex nodded and went into Jason's office and sat down. As he sat there, he thought about Audrey. He really liked that girl, but she seemed to not return the feelings. What's more, she seemed to be missing school lately. He thought of trying to call her the night before, but he didn't want to push it.
While Alex was lost in his thoughts, Jason walked in and closed the door. He walked around to sit behind his desk. "Thank you for coming, Alex."
Alex nodded, returning from his thoughts. "What did you need?"
"Audrey Evans is missing." Jason said.
"Missing?" Alex asked. "How is she missing?"
"She hasn't been to school or gymnastics. Kimberly called her house and her cell and got no answer." Jason explained. "We suspect Lord Zedd has something to do with it."
Alex nodded. He knew what he was needed for. He had to find Audrey and save her. "What makes you think he has her?" Alex asked, he needed to get all the information possible.
Jason sighed. "He's after Audrey. He wants her to join him."
"And so you think he finally got her?" Alex asked.
Jason nodded. "I also think he used a spell to turn her evil."
Alex wasn't prepared for this. He wasn't prepared to fight the girl he had a crush on. He nodded slowly. "How would we break the spell?" He asked.
"It depends on the kind of spell used." Jason answered. "Sometimes the spell requires an object to be destroyed, sometimes you can make the person fight the spell. You might have to be prepared to fight her, but only defend yourself, try not to harm her, if possible."
Alex felt he could do that. If his goal was to cause as little harm as possible to her, it might be okay. "Where can she be found?" He asked. He was prepared to go now.
Jason shook his head. "We don't know, last time we fought Zedd he had stationed himself on the Moon. I don't know if that's where he is or not."
"Should I try to locate her, or should i wait?" Alex asked.
"I think we should wait around and see what happens for now." Jason answered. "I'm going to talk to Billy and see if we can find a way to track her. In the meantime, be prepared. If Zedd did turn her evil, she may show up anytime."
Alex nodded, taking all of this in.
"Also, he might tell her to deceive you." Jason cautioned. "She might be under a spell but make you think she's herself. So watch yourself around her."
"Alright." Alex answered. "I'm ready for whatever happens."
Jason smiled. "I had hoped you would say that. I'll let you know what we come up with."
Moon Palace
"Get these chains off me." Audrey said glaringly to Logan.
"I'm not allowed to, miss." Logan said, apologetically.
"I don't care." Audrey said. "I want them off and I want them off now."
"Tristan has gone to get Lord Zedd." Logan answered her. "You can ask him to remove them when he gets here."
"I will." Audrey said. "Then I will tell him what ignorant help he keeps around here."
Tristan reentered the room, followed by Lord Zedd. He looked down at the girl. "I see you have finally awoken." He said to her.
"Yes, I am awake and I want these chains off now." Audrey responded through gritted teeth.
"Patience." Lord Zedd responded. "Why should I remove your chains?" He asked her.
"Because I serve you." She answered simply.
Lord Zedd was satisfied with this answer, however, he wanted to be sure. "Who is your enemy?" He asked her.
"The power rangers." She answered. Pink sparks lit her eyes as she said those words.
Lord Zedd smiled. He had her completely under his control. "Especially the Triforian ranger." Lord Zedd informed her. "His name is Alex and this is his picture." He held up a picture of Alex.
Audrey's eyes glowed with a pink tint once more. "Destroy Alex." She said simply. All feelings for the boy vanished under the spell, now her crush was turned into hatred.
Jason's Dojo
Alex had since left Jason's office and now Jason was on the phone with Billy Cranston. "Billy, tell me what we can do."
"Well, I've entered the old command center and it's totalled, however the computers seem fully fuctional. I'll have to get in and run a few more tests to be positive, but I think we can track Lord Zedd and possibly find Audrey."
Jason nodded. This was good. "Alright. Do you know anything about other power rangers?" They were going to need help.
"Right now, all I know of are the two you informed me of." Billy answered. "We have a full team of former rangers in town plus others. If we can get Alex to bring Audrey to us, surely someone can figure out how to break the spell."
Jason nodded. "We're going to have to find a team of rangers and mentor them ourselves."
"I was afraid of that." Billy answered. "How will we find them."
"I'm not sure yet, but we will need to as soon as we can. Start calling all former rangers in town and have them meet us at the command center."
Billy nodded. "Who should I call?"
"You call Rocky, Aisha, Adam and Tommy." Jason told him. "I'll call Zack, Trini and Kimberly."
"Alright, I'll get on it." Billy told him.
"I'll also need you to make some more communicators." Jason added. "I'm not sure how many yet."
Billy nodded again. "Okay Jason. I'll see you at the command center."
Both guys got off the phone and began making their phone calls.
Command Center
Kimberly walked into the command center and saw nine faces turn to greet her. "Hey guys." She said brightly. "Guess I'm the last one here."
Jason nodded. "It's alright, Kim. You had a class."
Kimberly nodded and walked over to where the others were. "Wow, memories." She smiled sadly. The place was a wreck, but she had so many fond memories within these walls. "So what's up?"
Trini laughed as Kimberly stood next to her. "I was wondering the same thing. The only ones who know anything are Jason and Billy."
The former rangers formed a semi circle in the center of the command center. From right to left they were Kimberly, Trini, Billy, Tommy, Zack, Adam, Aisha, Rocky and Alex. Jason stood directly front and center in front of the circle. Once a leader, always a leader. "First off." Jason began. "I would like to introduce Alex." He waved for Alex to join him for a moment. "Those of you who were zeo rangers have met his father, Trey."
A look of recognition spread across the faces of Tommy, Adam, Rocky and Billy, even though Billy wasn't a ranger at that time, he still knew who Trey was, having been a technical advisor for the zeo rangers. The others were pretty much clueless.
Jason continued. "Alex has followed in his father's footsteps and come to help earth as the Triforian Gold Ranger." He motioned for Alex to return to his place. "Now I will explain the problem. Kimberly and Tommy have a student named Audrey Evans." Jason explained. "She's a senior at Angel Grove High and one of Kimberly's top level gymnasts. She's missing and we assume Zedd has something to do with it."
"Wait." Rocky spoke up. "Wasn't Zedd put out of commission?"
Jason nodded. "However, it appears he has returned. He has been trying to convince Audrey to join him." Jason glanced at Kimberly. "Would you like to explain this part?"
Kimberly bit her lip and shrunk under Jason's glare. "About seven years ago." She began, not looking anyone in the eye. "I was put in a position where I had to pass on my powers. At the time, I only knew of one person I could pass them to. I knew, when she was old enough, she would be able to handle them. However, at the time, she was ten years old." Kimberly felt all eyes on her. "So I passed them to her without her knowledge. Since her move to Angel Grove, Zedd has been trying to get her to join him so he can use her powers, my powers for evil."
Jason spoke up next. "I think Audrey might be under an evil spell, right now, Alex is the only one equipped to fight. Since we don't want to harm her, it shouldn't be hard, all he has to do is defend himself. Breaking the spell will be harder, however, I think between all of us, it can be done."
"What are the chances she isn't under a spell?" Adam asked.
"It's possible, but not likely." Jason said. "He wanted her for her powers, if he's simply holding her, they are of no use to him."
Adam nodded. "So what's next? You're going to ask all of us to suit up again?"
Jason shook his head. "Our time has come and gone." He answered. "Starting with Audrey and Alex, a new generation of power rangers will begin."
"And we're going to what? Mentor them?" Kimberly asked.
Jason nodded. "When the time is right, we will find them. In the meantime, we can handle this one."
"I hope." Kimberly spoke the words all ten of them were thinking.
A/N: So Audrey is under Lord Zedd's spell and it's up to Alex and the former rangers to save her, once they find her. Will they find her? Will they be able to break the spell? Who will become the new team of power rangers? Read and review guys!
