This is a rewrite of another story called "A Taste of Poison Paradise" by Vaelaa. Anyway, Power Rangers belongs to uh- not me? I own nothing but some of the plot (until a certain point, I'll let you know when) and maybe a few minor characters.

—

It was too easy. They just welcomed him with open arms, he was walking with them everywhere, they were telling him everything. They really trusted him. Well... why should they? They just believed that Rita's spell made him evil. They didn't know how wrong they were, but it wasn't time to inform them what the spell really was. He just let them live blissfully ignorant. He was in the youth center with the other power rangers, he was training with Jason. Not to show all of his possibilities, but learn everything about red ranger. Tommy knew that Jason is a good fighter and he didn't ignore that.

"Hi Tommy!" The disgusting sweet voice of Kimberly claimed. He stopped fighting with Jason and smiled at her.

"Hey." He went to her and kissed her cheek, making her blush. Getting close to her was like a walk in a park. He wondered sometimes if that wasn't some kind of trap because manipulating them, even Zordon, was easy. Then again, they were too dumb to notice that you don't have to be under the spell to want power. They started to talk before they heard the familiar ringtone, and they had to teleport to the park to fight with putties. They showed up already morphed and they started to fight. It was quite easy until Goldar appeared behind Tommy's back.

"Tommy! Behind you!" Jason screamed and when Tommy managed to turn around, Goldar grabbed his power coin and tore it from his belt. Tommy fell to the ground, unmorphed.

"That was easy." Goldar started laughing and then, he disappeared. All rangers run to Tommy who was pretending to be in terrible pain. He just heard somewhere someone say they have to return to the command center. So they teleported there. He looked at Zordon, murmuring something about that he should predict it or something like that.

"Rangers, you have to get the green power coin back to Tommy." Zordon said. Tommy stopped himself from laughing.

"I'm trying to track it down." Billy said. Kimberly and Jason were on two sides of Tommy to support him just in case.

"I'm sorry guys. I should've been more alert." He said with fake guilt in his voice.

"Stop it, Tommy, it's not your fault." Jason replied with a certain voice. The sound of alarm sounded again, Rita's monster was attacking the town.

"They are preparing themselves for something bigger." Trini guessed. "They took Tommy's power coin, now this attack. It could be a distraction." "Yeah but what other choice do we have?" Zack asked.

"I will stay here with Tommy, just in case. I can come if you need me." Billy said and looked at Jason, who was nodding in approval

"Right, We will beat him fast and we will focus on looking for your power coin." Jason said with a warm smile. "It's Morphin' Time! Tyrannosaurus!" "Mastodon!" "Pterodactyl!" "Saber tooth tiger!" Billy and Tommy stayed inside, Tommy sat on the ground and sighed.

"Thanks Billy, what do you think they are planning?" Tommy asked, looking at the blue ranger.

"I don't have an idea." He said and continued to searching Tommy's coin.

"Rita can do very little with your power coin as long as you are bonded to the power." Zordon reassured, making Tommy sigh but he pretended that he was blindly believing whatever that head in the tube would say. In a green light, Goldar appeared in the middle of the command center. Tommy stood up quickly and looked at him.

"Are you looking for this, Rangers?" Goldar laughed devilishly, showing Tommy's power coin. "Triceratops!" Billy exclaimed.

Billy was swiftly defeated, so Tommy decided to fight against Goldar. He managed to take away his power coin, but before he could morph, Goldar plunged his blade in the middle of the communication systems, causing something to explode. Tommy slowly stood up from the ground and found Billy in this mess.

"I don't understand. He could do everything while he was here yet he did next to nothing." Tommy shook his head, helping blue ranger to stand up.

"We must inform the others." Billy coughed and looked at Zordon's Tube. "I'm losing energy." Zordon stated.

"Goldar's sword." Billy said slowly. "So if Goldar sword is drawing Zordon's energy, can't we just pull it out?" Tommy asked, helping Billy to stand against the console.

"No, it would expose all of Zordon's energy, temporarily closing the warp." Alpha came closer, he had run away when rangers were fighting with Goldar. "Good to see that you are feeling better Tommy." He added, looking at the green ranger.

"Thanks, Alpha, but now we have bigger problems than my health." Tommy sighed, internally cursing himself for forgetting he was supposed to be in pain. "Can we contact the others?" He asked. Billy shook his head.

"I will go find them, stay here and with Alpha and try to figure this out." Green ranger ordered. He wasn't the leader, but Billy followed this order because he knew Tommy was right. The others had to know and someone had to stay here.

"Dragonzord!" Tommy shouted. He went to the place of fight, where rangers in Megazord were trying to defeat a bigger version of Rita's creature. Green Ranger stood on the street and used his flue to call Dragonzord for help. The Megazord looked for while at Tommy.

"Look, guys, It's Tommy! He has his power coin again!" Jason said with shock. Kimberly smiled. "Now, let's finish this." Jason decided. The Megazord and Dragonzord were ready to finish that ugly beast. After it was down, Rangers went to Tommy to ask what happened.

"Goldar attacked the Command Center, I managed to retake my power coin, but well, you will see when we get back." Tommy said with a heavy sigh.

When they returned, Billy was feeling better, he managed to fix broken wires that were responsible for the communicators, but the sword pulled into the heart of the command center was a more problematic one. Blue Ranger and Alpha explained to the others what is going on and why they can't just pull it out.

"So what can we do?" Jason asked in a troubled voice. "I managed to find a temporary solution. If three of us leave our power coins here and connect it to the installation, it should compensate for the energy loss. However, that will leave three of us unable to morph. "That is what Rita probably counted on. I will leave my coin, then." Tommy decided.

"No Tommy, your power coin was taken away from you, I can't expose you to that risk." Jason said and looked at Zordon. "Jason is right Tommy, you need to keep your coin. Leaving it here could kill you."

"I will leave it." Jason said. "Me too." Trini added.

"Since I will work with the installation, I will give my power coin too." Trini and Jason gave their power coins to him. That was a strange feeling, not so bad as Tommy faked when it was supposedly pulled away from him against his will, but it wasn't nice either. The blue ranger started working on a permanent solution and Alpha tried to find a way to pull out the sword in a safe way. Only Tommy, Kimberly, and Zach left to protect the world. It was almost too easy.
