Overview: Zedd has seized control of Andrea and has set her against the other Rangers forcing Adam to face off against his twin sister while trying to find a way to save his friends and break the control spell before its too late. But something happens that neither Zedd nor the Rangers could have predicted.

Note: Part 1 is told thru Andrea's eyes and Part 2 is told thru Adam and Part 3 is back to Andrea (this is a major turning point for the twins so its important for you to get a feel as to what they are thinking and feeling)

A/N: I realize its kind confusing with the different parts but just try to bear with me because it will all make sense soon.

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers but I do own Andrea Baker.

Chapter 7: Breaking Point

Part 1: The Darkness in Andrea's Heart

Part of my mind is filled with darkness and hatred; the other part is pretty much being suppressed by whatever it is that is controlling me. I am very much conscious of what I am doing and yet it is almost as if my body had a mind of its own. [Why can't I stop!? I cried out in my head as I lift the white-clad ninja into the air by his throat; [Whoa since when have I been strong enough to do that?? I can barely flip Adam over when we spar much less actually lift someone up into the air with one hand. What ever it is that has taken over my body has also given me an extra burst of strength. I'm not sure whether I should be glad for that or not, one thing that I do know is that I need to stop myself before I hurt someone.

"Andrea please you have to stop!" I hear the yellow ninja cry out [how the hell does she know my name?

"Andrea you have to fight Zedd's control" I hear the pink ninja plead with me as the white ninja struggles to breathe against my grip on his throat

"Who the hell is Zedd and why should I give a damn if he is controlling me or not?" I hear myself sneer

"Please Andrea, its us, your friends Tommy, Aisha and Kim" I hear the white ninja struggle to say and from the corner of my eye I see the other two lower their hoods and pull down their masks to reveal that the yellow is Aisha and pink is Kim. [No wonder it sounded like them, cause it is my friends! Damn it I can't stop myself its almost as if I have no control of my body

"I have no friends" I hear myself snarl at them. "You!" I bark at the skeleton looking thing, "get some rope to tie them up so we can deliver them to lord Zedd and queen Rita" [who the hell are Rita and Zedd?? And why the hell am I hurting my friends!

"Right away your evilness" the skeleton replies to me then vanishes.

I had just finished watching myself securely tying Kim, Tommy and Aisha together when I see a flash of blue as the blue ninja tries knocking me away from his friends. Suddenly I have him by the throat and my eyes are locked with his "nice try but you are going to have to be faster than that" I hear myself laugh coldly. [Shit! I yell mentally because I recognize the pale blue eyes of Billy staring back at me thru the mask. A short time later, I have finished tying Billy up with his friends, just as I see a red flash and feel someone punch me in the side. I feel my body whirl around and in a couple of seconds I am choking a red-clad ninja. I already have figured out thru process of elimination that I have my hands firmly clamped over the throat of Rocky DeSantos. [Rocky please forgive me for this! I don't want to hurt you but I can't do a damn thing about stopping myself it hurts because I have had a crush on Rocky for sometime now and not to mention he is Adam's best friend. As Rocky slowly loses consciousness I see a blur of black and my heart feels like it wants to stop. [Oh god not Adam too! I feel myself toss a now limp Rocky off to the side with a cold laugh and turn to face the ninja clad in black. [Adam get the hell out of here!! I scream mentally afraid of what I might do to my brother. I can see the anguish in his dark brown eyesas I lock eyes with him, [Adam please help me I plead mentally, scared out of my mind for my twin.

Part 2: Adam's Dilemma

The empty coldness that was in my sister's eyes was almost too much for me to bear and I have to look away. I've dealt with the incident of the Mirror of Regret and watched some of my friends get kidnapped several times before, but this….this was bordering on the line of just plain cruel. [What am I going to do? I have to help my friends but I can't fight against my own sister. My communicator interrupts my thoughts [hell of a time to be contacting me now Zordon I think as I push the button.

"What is it Zordon?"

"Adam, our sensors have picked up that your sister is under some form of mind control [Geez what gave you the idea that she might be under Zedd's control? Maybe the fact that she has taken down the all of the team but me!! You need to find a way to get her to fight the spell in order for her to regain control over her mind" (A/N: Bold is Zordon speaking by the way)

"Easier said then done after all I just watched her choke Rocky into unconsciousness"

"Our scanners have picked up 2 separate brain waves coming from her" I hear Alpha say

"Okay but how does that help us??" I ask [not to mention I have no fricken clue what the heck that even means

"It means that Andrea's consciousness is coinciding along with Zedd's mind control"

"Okay but how do we even know that she is still in that shell of darkness?"

"You will have to trust your instincts and may the power protect you"

Just great… I slide into a fighting stance and look into her cold eyes; that's when I notice a small, brief glint of sadness shine from behind the cold darkness and I practically can her hear begging me to help her. [Zordon was right! She is still in there! I just need to buy myself some time to come up with a planThat's when I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the blur of red that was Rocky was starting to move which meant he might be regaining consciousness. [Good! Rocky is waking up that means I might be able to manage, with his help to subdue her until Zordon comes up with a way to break the mind controlBut unfortunately for Rocky and I, we had forgotten about Rito.

"Not so fast Red Ranger" Rito said grabbing Rocky before he could go anywhere. [Crap! then suddenly I hear Andrea snap at Rito.

"Didn't I instruct you to watch the prisoners? Then what are you doing worrying about the punk in red? Go take the others to my cave!" Andrea hissed at Rito with an icy tone that made him back up quickly dropping Rocky. It was the much needed second and I grinned as I watched the others disappear in a colored flash which indicated that Alpha had teleported them to the command center.

Unfortunately, that left Andrea in a very bad mood and Rito used what little brain he had and vanished very quickly before she could lash into him; leaving Rocky and I to face her wrath. That's when I made a quick judgment call: "Rocky get out of here now!" I shouted as I grabbed him and pulled him away from Andrea. I quickly pressed the button on my communicator and shouted at Alpha to teleport Rocky out.

Suddenly there is a sharp pain in my lungs as Andrea's hands wrap around my throat. My breathing becomes difficult as she lifts me up off the ground a couple of inches tightening her grip around my throat trying to completely cut off my air supply. [Geez when did she get so strong?? I think, asI look into her cold eyes the best I can cause my vision is starting to blur from lack of oxygen.

"Andrea stop this" I manage to choke out the words despite her grip on my throat.

"Why would I want to do that dear brother?" her voice is icy and sends chills up my spine.

"Because this isn't like you" I manage to respond

"What makes you think that I'm not like this?" she asks letting up on her grip just enough that I can breath a little

"Because I'm your brother and I know and love you" I manage to somehow, with the little strength that has not yet left my body, to pull down the hood and mask revealing my face to her.

[[Adam please forgive me!! I hear her voice in my head shout as all of the sudden I feel her fist hit me hard in the stomach and everything goes black.

Part 3: Awaken the Phoenix

[Adam please forgive me!! I shout in my mind as I watch my brother get knocked out cold by my punch. [I have to stop myself!I'm desperately fighting for control as I hear myself laugh evilly upon seeing him lying past out on the ground. [For the love of God stop! I'm frantically trying to stop myself as I reach down and pull him up by the collar of his outfit and I hear him give a soft groan as I hold him several inches in the air. [Stop damn it!! Stop this now!!! I'm starting to panic as I watch myself hit him in the stomach again causing him more pain. I'm bitterly trying to fight off Zedd's control as I watch myself punch Adam in the jaw. Part of me wants to throw up right now as I watch myself hit Adam again this time causing him to cough up a small amount of blood [I'm going to end up killing him if I don't stop soon. [PLEASE GOD MAKE THIS STOP!!!! I plead mentally as I realize that Adam isn't even trying to defend himself instead he is just letting me beat the shit out of him. I am now holding him eye level with me and I can see the small trickle of blood from the side of his mouth and it's driving me crazy. [Adam I'm so sorry!! I cry out mentally as I see myself throw him to the ground.

"Give me your sword", I shout coldly at the monkey looking thing that is now standing next to me. [Oh god no that will kill him!!! I frantically shout in my head and my vision starts to blur [great what now?? that's when I realize that I'm crying.

"Here you go your wickedness and you can call me Goldar"

"I don't care what your name is just give me that damn sword" Much to my dismay Adam has passed out again and I'm about to run the sword thru him. [ADAM WAKE UP!!!! The sword is now inches away from him then suddenly I feel the weirdest sensation sweep thru my body.

The world around me has pretty much vanished and everything has gone black when I feel a kind of power starting to awaken inside of me. [[Do you want to save your brother? I hear a voice in my head ask me [of course I do!! I shout, [[then look deep within yourself and concentrate. I force myself to gently lay Adam on the ground and I close my eyes and suddenly I can see a small flame flickering inside of me.

Next thing I know the flames have exploded to a massive size and I can feel that the control that Zedd had on me has broken as I hear the mirror monster's mirror shatter. I open my eye to reveal that I am looking thru the eyeholes of a mask and that I am now dressed in an orange colored ninja suit with a golden emblem of a phoenix on it.
