The months passed and things seemed to be going fairly well. Mesogogg had finally attacked the rangers, but it still didn't seem to be enough. He kept hinting at Tommy's involvement, but had kept away from him, for some reason. However, that all changed when Mesogogg decided that playing with the rangers was not enough.

"Tommy!" Kim called as she walked through the front door with a bag of groceries. They had decided to get married after the baby was born, which was a giant step in its own. No, they weren't technically engaged, but all their friends knew about it as well as their parents, he just didn't know when he would buy the ring or pop the question. "Tommy! Hello!"

"Kim, hi," Hayley said as she stepped out of the kitchen and Kim almost threw the bag up into the air. "What are you doing home so early?"

"I don't work as late on Wednesday's as I used to," Kim said as Hayley took the bag from her and walked into the kitchen. "But I think the better question is, why are you here?"

"Why don't we bring the groceries in," Hayley suggested, nervously, as Kim looked over at her. She knew that something was wrong and she just was not sure if she wanted to wait to find out what it was.

"I think you should tell me what's going on," Kim said as Hayley looked away from her. She did not wish to tell Kim the truth. She was afraid of what it would do to her right now.

"I'm not quite sure how to tell you," Hayley said as Kim placed a hand on her belly and looked over at her. She did not like the sound of that, as the words that usually came after that was something that she couldn't really take.

"What do you mean?" Kim asked as Hayley looked down at the floor. "Hayley what's going on?"
"Tommy's been captured," Hayley managed as Kim could only grasp the counter to keep from sinking to the floor. She was sure that she must have heard something wrong. "We know where he is, but we don't know how to get to him."
"Call Rocky," Kim said as Hayley stared at her. "Please, just call him."

"Okay," Hayley said as she walked back downstairs and Kim finally collapsed into a chair. She wanted to sob, to yell, to curse this man, to go find him, but she could do none of that. All she felt was numb.

"Let me go!" Tommy yelled as Mesogogg leered at him. He had waited too long for this opportunity and now he was going to take full advantage.

"Tommy, you should know better. They way it works is that you give up something I want for your freedom," Mesogogg said as Tommy turned his face towards him. He did not like the sound of that, but he might as well play along.

"And what would that be?" Tommy asked as Mesogogg looked down at him.

"Ms. Hart, just for starters," Mesogogg said as Tommy lunged against his restraints. Mesogogg still didn't know about her being pregnant but Tommy feared that wouldn't last very long. "Did I hit a nerve?"

"You will never get her!" Tommy yelled as Mesogogg looked over at him with a comical look on his face. If he wanted to then she would be his in only a matter of seconds, no matter what Tommy did.

"Oh, you think so?" Mesogogg asked as Tommy again pulled against the restraints. He was pissed right now and he desperately wanted to get out of there. He knew that by now they were looking for him and he was sure that Kim knew as well. She was the one that he was most worried about, for the obvious reason that the stress couldn't be good for her.

"Leave her out of it!" Tommy yelled as Mesogogg brought up a picture of her. She was sitting in the kitchen at the table, covering her face. He could tell she had been crying, but when she finally looked up, it was the look in her eyes that upset him the most. She looked so defeated and worn out from the entire ordeal. "I'll do whatever you want, just leave her out of this."

"The child? You'll give me the child?" Mesogogg asked as Tommy stared at him. He could not believe that he knew about the baby.

"Never," Tommy spat out as Mesogogg looked at him.

"So it is your child. When did you get her pregnant?" Mesogogg asked as Tommy just looked away. He knew better than to answer that question. He had already answered far too many from what he could see. "Oliver, Oliver, Oliver…never thought you had it in you."

"Why do you act like you know me?" Tommy asked as Mesogogg transformed into Anton Mercer before his very eyes.

"Because I do Tommy and everything that you have ever done is well known here, you can trust me on that," Anton said as he walked out of the room and Tommy stared at his back in shock. There had to be a way out of here, a way for him to get back to her.

"Kim, honey, how are you?" Aisha asked as Kim looked over at her. Her tears had dried up, but she did not feel like talking to anyone right now. Hayley had called Rocky without any questions and he and Aisha had arrived a couple of hours ago. Kim, however, did not want to talk to any of them.

"You want anything for supper?" Rocky asked as Kim looked up at him. She didn't know what to think or what to do. All she knew was that Tommy was taken and there seemed to be no way to get to him. "Has she talked to you?"

"No," Aisha said as she walked back downstairs with him and they stopped when they were just out of earshot. "I've never seen her like this before and Tommy's been captured more than the rest of us."

"I know, part of it has to be that she's pregnant, she's having to deal with the idea of losing him for her, but also for their child. Just keep an eye on her Ish and force some food down her throat," Rocky said as Aisha barely nodded. She had no clue why Kim hadn't just called Jason, since he was only a teleport away. She, however, had the feeling that Rocky knew why she had asked for them to come. "Hayley, have you found anything?"

"No and Billy's not answering his phone," Hayley said as Rocky looked over at her. She had all the technology and the experience to actually do this by herself. Why did she need Billy there? "I just feel better when he's here."

"Does he know that?" Rocky asked as Hayley looked over at him. "I've been around enough to know that there is something going on."

"We're just friends. It's nice to be able to talk with someone that understands everything that I say. Let's face it, Tommy doesn't," Hayley said as Rocky looked over at her. "What now?"

"It looks like they are already taking care of it," Rocky said as Hayley just shook her head. That was when the invisaportal opened and Mesogogg appeared with Tommy in his grasp.

"Get Kim," Hayley said as Rocky ran up the stairs and was soon dragging her down the stairs with him.

"Get them to send the girl," Mesogogg growled as he had Tommy in between himself and the rangers.

"You'll never get her," Tommy said as they stood in wonder and awe. The rangers had no clue what to do, but Tommy did not give them long to actually think about it. "Fight them!"

"Tommy," Kim whispered as she collapsed into the chair that Hayley had set behind her. "They can't take him back."

"I don't think the kids…" Hayley began as Kim wheeled on her.

"He cannot go back," Kim said as she stood up and looked between Rocky and Hayley. "Tell the kids, trust me they know what to do."

"Conner, don't let them take Tommy back," Hayley said as she saw Conner barely nod. He had his hands full enough with everything else that was going on there.

All the while Tommy was playing with the black gem that he held in his hands. He knew it was a dino gem and knew its uses well enough. He, however, did not wish for it to bond with him. He was thinking more along the lines of Trent, but if he had to use it to get out of this situation, he would.

"I think I've played with them enough, you're coming back with me," Mesogogg muttered as Tommy kicked backwards, causing Mesogogg to release him and he then dove to the ground to avoid the next round of fire. Sadly enough the only thing to put between himself and the direct fire was the gem. As the ray melted it's encasement he felt the energy overcoming him and he knew what was about to happen. When the explosion occurred, he could only think of one thing and that was how would Kim be able to make it without him.
