Chapter Five

Tommy stayed in the park. He was in a good mood. It was a wonderful to be alive. No monsters to fight, his powers were intact and he did not have to worry about them being taken. It was a nice and peaceful day.

So, the White Ranger walked happily towards the youth center and its gym. He said hello to people who passed him. The only thing on his mind was his work out plan for that day. Too bad his plans were about to be ruined.

Before Tommy could reach his destination, an evil wizard appeared from out of some nearby bushes. The villain laughed at him tauntingly.

Tommy immediately took on a fighting stance.

"Hello, Tommy," The Wizard of Deception greeted him wickedly. "I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to meet you."

He laughs again.

At this moment, Tommy was wishing that for once Rita and Zedd would leave him alone.

"I have something very special planned for you," the Wizard said.

Thinking quick, Tommy activated his communicator to contact the Command Center, but before Zordon or Alpha could respond, putties appeared to distract him.

The White Ranger fought the foot soldiers on his own for a few minutes before the rest of the Power Rangers appeared to help. Apparently, Zordon had gotten his message.

While the other Rangers where busy fighting putties, two putties grabbed Tommy by his arms. The Wizard of Deception lifted his scepter and knocked the White Ranger back, incapacitating him for a moment.

"Bring me a lock of his hair," the Wizard ordered the putties.

A putty obeyed, cutting a lock of Tommy's long, brown hair, and then wobbled over to the Wizard. With what he wanted in his evil hands, the Wizard disappeared and the putties followed, leaving the Rangers confused of what just happened.

It was Kimberly who first noticed Tommy laying on the ground.

"Oh no, look," she exclaimed.

"What happed to him?" Aisha asked as they all rushed over to their team leader.

Billy and Adam helped Tommy up.

"Tommy, you ok?" the Black Ranger asked.

"Yeah," Tommy said rubbing the back of his head. "I think so."

"I think we better contact Zordon," Billy suggested firmly.

"Yeah," Rocky agreed. "Maybe he can tell us who that wizard dude was."

"Yeah and why he seems to be after Tommy," said Kimberly. Her hand was gently rubbing Tommy's arm.

Tommy smiled down at his girlfriend for a brief moment before he gave the signal for Billy to find a secluded spot to contact their mentor.
