"Guys, where's Kimberly?" RJ asked. Casey looked around.
"Didn't she go after Dai Shi and Camille?" he asked, looking nervous. RJ nodded.
"I haven't seen her since," RJ agreed.
"Hey guys!" Dominic said, hurrying over from where he was talking with the Rhino.
"Dom, did you see Kimberly?" RJ asked worriedly. Dom skid to a stop, looking worried.
"She's missing?" he asked and RJ nodded. Theo frowned and ran off, rising into the air. The rangers watched him hopefully as he scanned the area. Finally, he landed.
"She's not here!" he told them breathlessly, his eyes worried. RJ swallowed and turned to Dom.
"You didn't see her with Dai Shi?" he asked and Dom began shaking his head before he stopped suddenly, his eyes going wide.
"Camille was standing a few feet behind Dai Shi, in a patch of tall grass," he told him, looking horrified. "Kim could have been in the grass."
"So Dai Shi has Kimberly."
Dai Shi smirked as he heard the conversation behind the door. Glancing to his right, he saw and felt Camille's presence. A quick glance to the left assured him that the recently turned Creda was standing on his other side. Zukado had enabled him to warp the woman's mind. She would still have her own personality, but she would follow him without question now.
Smirking, Dai Shi tossed the doors open with a burst of Zukado power and the three stalked inside.
"Go ahead, destroy Jellica. That's always been your problem, Grizzaka, you destroy what you cannot have," he said. "I'm here to take back my throne before you destroy that, too."
"You dare to lecture me!" Grizzaka yelled, moving forward. "Your incompetence made us lose the Beast War!"
"You recognize that power? It's Zukado," he said, smirking, as the overlord went flying.
"You're wasting my energy! I have Power Rangers to destroy!" Grizzaka said and he an Jellica left.
"Good luck," Dai Shi and Creda muttered at the same time. Dai Shi smirked as Camille glared at the girl.
"Maybe I should change Creda's…attire," Camille suggested as Dai Shi sat down in his throne.
"Do it but don't get too comfortable," Dai Shi ordered. "Grizzaka is gathering more strength. I need to get the upper hand before he returns. He'll destroy all three of us."
Camille snapped her fingers and a group of Rinshi appeared. She turned to them. "I have to help Dai Shi. Take Creda to…fix….her attire. The magenta version of my outfit should do," she said.
"Oh please, like you know fashion?" Creda said from her place at Dai Shi's feet. "You look like a dominatrix. A badly dressed on."
Dai Shi laughed as Camille glowered. "And you have your own ideas?" she snapped and Creda nodded.
"With your permission Dai Shi I'll change from these…clothes," she wrinkled her nose a bit. Dai Shi laughed again and motioned for her to leave. He decided then and there that turning the woman evil was one of his most brilliant ideas, if only for the rivalry she already had with Camille.
"Where'd she go?" Casey said, running through the forest. Finally, he spotted her, back to human form. She stopped by a tree and Casey stopped breathing. Dai Shi stepping from behind the tree wasn't surprising but the fact Kimberly was by his side was. She was almost recognizable but to someone who knew her as well as Casey did, he knew it was her.
Her hair was back in a French braid, silver and dark pink streaks running through it. Her outfit was like Camille's only her skirt was extremely short, she wore knee high black heeled boots, and her armbands were dark pink.
"Oh, no," he muttered when he saw Kimberly was standing almost protectively by Dai Shi's side, a sadistic little smirk on her face. Shaking his head, Casey moved back as the trio started walking away.
Casey ran towards them, calling Jungle Master Mode as he did so. Dai Shi looked up from where he'd placed the Crystal Eyes and armored up.
"Could this be the greatest match up of all time?" Flit asked as he, Camille, and Creda moved to watch the zord battle.
Both women turned when they felt Dai Shi come up between them.
"Woops, four's a crowd, I'm outta here!" Flit squeaked, flying off.
"I lost the Crystal eyes," he said and Camille turned to him in shock. Creda simply placed a hand on his arm before turning back to the battle. As Grizzaka fell, Camille and Dai Shi smirked while Creda's expression didn't change.
"A new era has begun," Dai Shi said, smirking at his women. The three left.
"She wants us to take care of them!" Casey said brightly as he approached RJ with the eyes. RJ smiled though there was a still a sadness around him. After the battle, Casey had told them what he had seen when he fought Camille. Theo, Lily, and Dom hadn't been able to believe Kim had been turned evil at first but RJ had told them it wasn't the first time it'd happened. Allies had been turned against rangers several times before and Kim herself had nearly killed her successor when she and Jason had been turned evil.
"….you could have lost the eyes," Casey came back to what RJ was saying.
"Maybe, but my instincts told me it was a gamble I could win," he replied. RJ smiled.
"Oh, well, then, you've got some sharp instincts," he said, moving away. "And Kim's luck has rubbed off on you."
"We'll get her back, RJ, I promise," Casey said as they left the building. RJ nodded.
"I'm more worried about where those other Crystal Eyes are," he said. "My sister can take care of herself."
