Authors Note: Sorry bout this chapter being split up in two parts I found it to be too short the first time I wrote it and I'm trying to improve my length on the chapters.

Phoenix in Peril

Part 1

-Park Residence-

|"Adam, where are you? I need you brother…"|. Adam woke with a start having heard the weak voice echo out in his dreams, he shook his head knowing who the voice belonged to, and checked his clock sighing when it read 6:30 "hang on Andrea, we are trying…"

-Angel Grove High-

"Earth to Adam, hey what's with you?" Rocky whispered tapping the distracted black ranger on the shoulder during class.

"Hmm oh nothing" Adam responded snapping out of his daze and straightened up in his desk.

"Yeah right froggie, you're zoning out again and going to get in trouble if you keep this up" Rocky carefully whispered, making sure that Mrs. Applebee was still reading from the textbook.

"Just worried about Andi" Adam replied picking the forgotten textbook up pretending to be interested in the lesson.

"We all are" came the simply reply to the right of them where the blue ranger sat, also having trouble focusing on his studies, which was rare for him.

Youth Center/ Ernie's Juice Bar after school-

|"ADAM! HELP ME!"| This time Andrea's panicked voice ripped him out of his exhaustion nap, he woke with a jolt and let out a yelp, jumping once he realized a hand was on his shoulder shaking him.

"Whoa easy there froggie" came the familiar voice of Rocky, who was looking at his best friend concerned.

"Sorry I just had another dream about Andi... She's in trouble and really needs my help" Adam said sighing and ran a hand thru his hair.

"Don't worry Billy said that Zordon and Alpha are busy looking for her and its possible we will locate her today even" Rocky said trying to reassure his distressed friend.

Just then their communicators went off and Adam felt a mix of emotions run thru his body as he and Rocky stood off to a corner and answered.

"We hear you Zordon" Adam said hoping for good news.

"Hey guys Billy here, I've got bad news and good news." Billy stated his voice hesitant.

-Command Center-

"What's the news?" Adam asked as he and Rocky teleported in.

"Good news or bad first? Both deal with Andrea," Billy said with a slight sigh looking at Adam as the others silently teleported in behind.

"At this point any news about Andrea" Rocky said answering for Adam, who had spaced out lost in thought, obviously worrying about his twin.

"Well… Good news is that we finally located her" Billy said but his voice indicated that the news wasn't that great.

"Really! That's good!" Tommy stated not catching Billy's tone.

"Not really… Now for the bad news; she's wandering lost in the Desert of Despair and it looks like she's been there several days now without food or water and won't hold up much longer." Billy said and noticed Adam's expression change.

"Wait can't you just teleport her out of there?" Adam asks looking up at Zordon "I mean you've teleported non rangers in before so why not now?"

"Unfortunately the news gets worse… Yes we have a lock on her location but something is preventing us from teleporting her out of there so…" Billy trailed off noticing that Adam had slammed his fist on a nearby gap in the consoles in frustration.

"Billy can we at least see a visual on the viewing globe?" Rocky asked noticing Adam's visible pain.

"Affirmative Rocky" Billy said pressing several buttons hoping to at least give Adam a little relief.

-Desert of Despair-

Andrea stumbled covering her face with her arm to shield herself from the wind and the blowing sand. –I just hope the others are alright… I'll be so glad to see your smiling face again Adam.- Andrea silently thought to herself as she pressed onwards even though she had no definite idea where she was going, but kept hoping for a miracle. She soon became aware of the strange feeling that she was being watched and smiled a little wondering if the others rangers were seeing her through the viewing globe and were going to rescue her soon.

Suddenly Andrea felt a sharp pain shoot through her body and she realized she had pushed past her limit and was losing consciousness as well. "Adam… I'm sorry" she whispered as the world around her went black.

-Command Center-

"Ayi yi yi yi!" Alpha exclaimed as he and the rangers watched in horror as Andrea collapsed to the ground in the middle of the Desert of Despair.

"Zordon she needs our help!" Adam shouted with fear in his voice as he looked up at the giant floating head.

"Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done for her until we figure out why the teleportation is being blocked"

"Wait what 'bout Ninjor!" Rocky asked coming up with an idea.

"Someone call for me?" Ninjor asks appearing suddenly, startling the other rangers.

"Ninjor! Can you please go and get Andrea for us?" Adam asks their ally and provider of the Ninja Ranger Powers.

"Ayi yi yi yi!" Alpha exclaimed and all attention turned to the viewing globe just as Goldar was seen scooping Andrea up in his arms and vanishing with her.

"NO!" Adam shouts slamming his fist down, then slides onto the floor of the command center, into a sitting position hugging his knees afraid for his twin and what might happen next.

Part 2

-Goldar's Dark Dimension-

Andrea slowly awoke to find herself in a room with bars and sighed "great now what…."

"Hello little lost ranger" Goldar said sneering "welcome to my dark dungeon, hope you make yourself comfortable because you're going to be here awhile; at least until Finster figures out the crystal's properties".

Andrea stood in a fighting stance "what crystal and I'm not letting Zedd and Rita turn me against my friends again".

" You think you have a choice well think again because Reflector was just a dud monster and lord Zedd and Rita are capable of turning you against the others, it's been done before just ask Tommy" Goldar said laughing.

Andrea glared at Goldar "the others, especially my brother will make sure you don't get away with this you hear me"

"We shall see" Goldar replies, vanishing which leaves Andrea to her thoughts.

-Guess I shouldn't have sabotaged the teleporter… I just hope the others figure out what I did in time to get me out of this mess before worst things happen…- Andrea thought sighing as she sat down leaning back against a wall of her cell.

-Command Center-

"Well I found part of our problem as to why we couldn't teleport her in" Billy says sitting up from working on the wiring to the consoles and sighs.

"That's good right?" Rocky asks not sure.

"Not really" Billy says sighing "it appears that she clipped a certain wire making it so that we can't teleport anyone in that isn't already connected via communicator."

"Any reason why Billy?" Adam asks wondering why his sister did that.

"Well she put herself in danger on purpose knowing that we couldn't help her immediately which means she's got a plan to all this I just wish I knew what" Billy replies running a hand through his hair.

-Moon Palace-

"She's in my dark dimension is the crystal ready?" Goldar asks appearing in the throne room.

"Perfect Goldar for once you didn't fail. Guess you want to keep your home after all. Finster! Where is that crystal? I want to turn that brat against her friends"

"Right here lord Zedd but I haven't finished analyzing its composition yet your evilness" Finster said bowing as he held the crystal which composed of a large shard and smaller pieces surrounding it.

"Give me that, we will worry about what it does later just as long as she can use it to destroy the other power brats."

"Pardon me your evilness but I was able to determine that the smaller fragments when broken up and crushed, attempt to reform, so that could be used on the ranger to turn them into crystals" Finster said bowing.

"Brilliant Finster, you prove some usefulness after all. Now bring me Andrea so we can get this wicked plot in motion."
