Overview: Zedd's twisted plot is starting to play out in his favor and it looks like the other rangers are not able to stop him. Adam is the only hope they have of saving Andrea from Zedd's wicked plan but will he be too late?

Note: told in 3rd person and also from Andrea's a little bit of Adam's point of views, please forgive the 3 viewpoint changes I have it set up this way so that you get a better idea of what Adam and Andrea are thinking along with getting a feel of what is going on as a whole.

A/N: I probably should have mentioned this earlier and if you didn't already guess from chapter 4 but Andrea is a bit more of a troubled teen, which is a stark contrast to Adam who is sometimes shy, kindhearted, and softer-spoken than his twin.

Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers but the character Andrea is mine

Chapter 6: Running Out of Time

Previously:

"Oh no what's happening to her Zordon!?!" Kim exclaimed as they watched Andrea drop to her knees holding the sides of her head and screaming in pain

"We have to go help!" Aisha cried out

"Alpha keep trying to contact Rocky, Billy and Adam" Tommy said as he, Aisha and Kim teleported out with a flash

(A/N: this part is told from Andrea's point of view to give you a better idea of what she is thinking and feeling)

I was barely aware of the world around me as sharp pain shot through my body and my vision started clouding. I clearly remember what had happened in the moments leading up to this. I had been kicking ass when all of the sudden those two things appeared, I'm not sure why I panicked, but I did and that allowed those damn birds to grab a hold of me. The next thing I knew, a monster with a mirror on its chest appeared, the mirror's glow flashed painful, bitter memories through my head.

-First flashback-

"Hahaha little Andrea Baker is such a crybaby!" some kid said, taunting me, because I had fallen, hurt my knee, and was crying.

[I was such a cry baby and a weakling course I was only 6 but still…

-Second Flashback-

I'm sitting on the couch with my parents several days after my 13th birthday.

"Andrea, your father and I wanted you to know that you biologically have a twin brother" my mom told me

"What! How?"

"You see sweetie I'm actually your step-dad" my dad calmly says to me.

"Wait a minute!! So, you mean to tell me my birth dad is somewhere else… along with my twin brother?? That's bullshit!"

Both my parents flinched and mom started crying.

[What the hell was I thinking when I said that? It was clear that I hurt my parents' feelings with my overreaction. Oh god! Make it stop! I don't want to see what is next! I know exactly what the next flashback will be and I don't want to relive it again. But the fog was already circling, getting ready for the third and final flashback.

-Third Flashback-

I am sitting at home waiting for my parents when the phone rings.

"Hello?" I answered

"Andrea Baker?" I recognize the voice to be Officer Thomas, but the tone in his voice indicates that something is wrong.

"Yes, this is Andrea speaking"

"Andrea, this is Officer Thomas Jones from the Thunder Hills police department, calling to inform you that your parents have been in a car accident"

Next thing I know, I'm on my knees with a searing pain pulsing through my head and I'm screaming.

"Oh my gosh! Is she alright!?" I hear someone say and I notice the voice sounds a bit like Kim's.

"What is happening to her?" I heard another girl ask and I notice it sounds like Aisha.

"I'm not sure but we better get her out of here" I hear a guy respond and my brain registers it with Tommy.

I manage to look up and through my blinding tears find myself looking at three people dressed in what looks like ninja outfits in three different colors, one in pink, one in yellow and one in white, standing in front of me cutting me off from the freaky mirror monster. The one dressed in white is bending over me and is starting to carefully pick me up. Suddenly I push him away as darkness starts to engulf me.

(A/N: this is 3rd person to give you a better idea of what is going on as a whole)

Adam, Billy and Rocky were in different areas of the park still busy finishing with disposing of the rouge putties when their communicators beeped. Billy and Rocky were able to respond to the call to aid the others, which isolated Adam and played right into Zedd's evil plan.

"Perfect, black ranger has been separated from his friends which is exactly what we need. Goldar get down there and keep Black Ranger busy while Andrea deals with the rest of the Power Brats.

"Yes your evilness"

"Aye yai yai yai yai Zordon what are we going to do?!" Alpha cried out as he and Zordon watched(via viewing globe) as Andrea became evil and attacked the other Rangers. Zedd had gained control over her and was using her to slowly take out her friends one by one.

(A/N: as told by Adam, please forgive me for the viewpoint changes I just thought this would help the story make more sense)

There were 4 rouge putties left and I had to deal with them before I could help the others with my sister. Suddenly the putties have turned to dust and I'm hearing my communicator going crazy.

"Geez Alpha! I read you already" I grumbled until I heard something that made my heart skip a beat…

"Aye yai yai yai! Zedd has taken control of your sister and she's in the process of trying to destroy the rest of the Rangers!"

[Crap! I don't remember a time that I ran faster in my life as I did just then and came upon a sight that made my heart freeze. Aisha, Kim, Billy and Tommy were tied up and guarded by Rito while Andrea had her hands wrapped around Rocky's throat and it was obvious that he was losing consciousness. The sight that made my blood run cold was not the red and silver streaks that ran through her hair, the evil glint in her eyes, or the cold, evil laugh as she tossed an unconscious Rocky to the ground, but rather it was the cold, soulless look in her eyes. Then those cold, hate-filled eyes turned and met mine.
