Chapter Twenty Six

Back at Billy's Lab, the Rangers were losing their patience. Zack was used to more action than waiting and was bored. Trini, who was more patient, was extremely worried. Jason, being the leader and feeling as if everything was on his shoulders, was becoming impatient and was extremely worried. Kimberly could only think of Tommy and wonder if he was ok. She just wanted Billy to find something to help them to help the Green Ranger. Billy was focused on his task. He had no time to worry as he typed on his computer.

" Hey," Billy called out. "I've got something."

The other Rangers circled around him. They all gazed at the Blue Ranger's computer screen.

"The computer's broken into the force field," he explained. "We should be able to get a visual on the screen."

Before anyone could say anything Tommy appeared behind the group gaining Kimberly's attention. She turned and so did everyone else. They were all excited to see the Green Ranger.

"Tommy," the Pink Ranger said happily hugging the teen.

Tommy returns the brief hug. He was happy with the brief display of affection from the girl.

"Oh man, am I glad to see you guys," he said. "I've got a lot to fill you in on."

"Same here, man," Zack said with audible relief.

Before the Green Ranger could explain what had happened to him, their communicators go off and Alpha 5's voice was heard.

"Power rangers, I'm afraid there's no time to lose."

"Rangers," Zordon's voice boomed. "Zedd's green crystal must be shattered to return things to normal. And only a non power Ranger may enter Zedd's dimension undetected."

"And that's me." Tommy said knowing that his powers were the only ones low enough to get into Lord Zedd's other dimension.

"No man," Jason protested. "It's too dangerous."

" Look, I have a personal score to settle," Tommy said with determination. "I'm ready."

"Alpha will teleport you now, Tommy," Zordon said choosing not to argue with the Green Ranger."

"Here goes," Alpha said following the order and teleporting Tommy to Zedd's other dimension.
