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.

Kimberly was creating in her mind a version of the story which she could present to her mother as she walked with Jason. She couldn't tell her that she is a pink ranger and they were betrayed, that she was betrayed by her boyfriend whose lover broke her pink helmet on her face and pieces of it completely destroyed her eye. She didn't even notice when Jason put his jacket on her arms, she was so lost in her own thoughts but then, she noticed that the door to her home was open. She ran inside. There was a complete mess.

"Mom!" She shouted, she heard someone humming in answer, she looked around with Jason. Jason found her step-father tied down and his mouths were gaged. Jason helped him by tearing apart the ropes and removed the gag from his mouths.

"Kimberly, you're ok! What happened to your eye?" he said.

"That doesn't matter, where is the mom?" Kimberly started panicking.

"Some monsters took her! " He answered, but then he put his hands on her arms and looked at her, trying to calm her down. "Don't worry, I'm sure that Power Rangers will save her." He didn't even know how painful it was for Kim to hear those words. She started to cry and sat on the ground. Jason hugged her before he needed to check with his parents.

"Kim, listen to me. I need to check if my parents are ok." He said quietly, she wiped tears from her one eye.

"You are right. We need to check with the others." She rose up, she desperately needed something to do, to focus on. Jason tried to tell her to stay with her step-dad, but that was for nothing, she ran away from this house and communicated with others if they know something about their parents. Jason tells Kim's stepdad to stay here and he rushes after the pink ranger. Then she turned to him and she whispered.

"They are all gone. Billy's, Trini's, Zach's." She gulped as Jason became pale, he ran to his home to check if his parents are fine, Kimberly ran with him. They entered the house, but it was completely empty.

"They took them all." Jason realized, clenching his hands into fists.

At the same time in the Dark Fortress, Tommy and Astronema went to their chamber as they finally had some time alone. He looked at his lovely fiancee and smiled, pulled her in his arms and kissed gently. He looked into her eyes. She was doing the same, with a bright smile on her lips.

"You don't have an idea how much I missed you." Tommy whispered and rubbed her cheek. "I have an idea, believe me." she answered. "You doomed me and Scorpina without the loves of our lives." She added after a while, realizing some tension. Tommy laughed shortly.

"You still had Ecliptor." He pointed out and kissed her again. Then he spun her around and they started to dance to a melody that only could be heard in their minds. They swayed with a smile. Tommy once promised that he would teach her how to dance. In the beginning, she didn't understand the concept of dance at all, but now she was enjoying it. But then, their private moment was interrupted by Goldar, who knocked on their door and after a few seconds, he entered. Tommy sighed unhappily.

"My lord, my lady, mission accomplished. We have parents of the rangers, and we escorted your family." The golden monkey said.

"Wonderful." Astronema answered.

"Wait for us in the throne chamber. We need to welcome our guests." Tommy decided and looked at Astronema, who went to check her look and Tommy morphed. When Astronema was ready, they went to the main chamber, where Tommy sat on his throne and his beloved sat next to him on hers. Parents of the rangers were panicked, mostly the women, but men had fear in their eyes too. Putties pushed them roughly, making them kneel before the Princess and the future prince of darkness. Only Mr. and Mrs. Oliver were allowed to stand, but they didn't know why.

"What do you want from us!" Jason's father asked. "From you? Absolutely nothing." Astronema said with a cold voice. "I see where Jason got his spirit and foolishness at the same time." Tommy murmured loud enough that Jason's father could hear this.

"What does my son have to do with this? Leave him alone!" A feminine voice said and Tommy rolled his eyes under his helmet.

"Look around you, figure it out." Tommy said with a teasing voice. "What?" Jason's parents look at the others, they realize that they are the parents of their son's best friends.

"What do you want from our children? They are only kids!" Trini's father shouted. Tommy laughed. "Teenagers with attitude as Zordon would say." Tommy replied, making Astronema laugh.

"Really... They still don't get it." Astronema stood and went closer to their prisoners. "Your son often wears red, right? Your daughter wears yellow, your son blue, your black, and the pink bitch is your daughter." Astronema hissed when she had to mention Kimberly. She knew that Tommy was only pretending to be her boyfriend, but she hated that girl. Kim's mother wanted to rise up and say to not call her kid that way, but Goldar put the sword on her neck and in seconds, she was quiet.

"Why should we focus on our children's color preference?" Billy's father asked. "They're never around when the monsters attack." Tommy stated, annoyed. Astronema was already bored with this conversation. They really were that blind to not to see that their kids are power rangers? "They're the Power Rangers!" Astronema snapped. The revelation hit their prisoners.

"We need nothing for you. We need your brats to not do anything rashly against us." Tommy said with a calm voice.

"Take the prisoners to the cells. They are to be monitored all the time." Astronema commanded, looking at Goldar, who only said simply nodded and with puddies and Quantrons took prisoners away. Only Olivers were in this room, with Ecliptor, Astronema, and Tommy.

"What about us?" His mother said with a scared voice. Tommy took away his helmet and looked at his parents. "Hello Mom, Dad." he smiled. "Tommy! What is going on?" Mr. Oliver was shocked to see his adopted son was wearing that helmet.

"You took care of me when I needed that. I couldn't let you live poorly. You are parents of the future emperor." Tommy said and rose up from the throne and went in their direction. "You deserve more than you have and I'm willing to give you more for everything that you did to me." He said with kindness on his face, a true kindness. He was working for Rita to give them more money, that they could live better. They were so shocked that they were just staring at him.

"You don't have to live on the spaceship, like we do. We have a perfect palace on the moon, or on other planets; even on Earth we would find something." Astronema proposed and came closer.

"Mom and Dad meet Astronema, my lovely fiance." Tommy said with a wide smile.

"Tommy, I'm proud of you." His dad said. "I approve of this girl, she seems like a lovely young lady." His mom added. They were still processing this whole thing, but it was better to say they're proud and live happily then do anything else.

"I'm happy you approve of me, Ms. Oliver." Astronema said, glad that her fiancé's parents understood. "For now, you'll have to stay on Earth though." They nodded as Ecliptor led them away.

"I'm glad they approve of you." Tommy said and kissed her head before he hugged her.

The next day was a challenge for power rangers, they should report the disappearance of their parents to the police. Kimberly's stepfather did it, but the rest didn't. They wouldn't help them. They were in the command center, trying to locate their parents, but the Dark Fortress had a defense system more advanced than Billy's scanners. They weren't prepared for a stronger force. They spent a lot of time trying to find their parents, but scanners show that they are no longer on earth, which was quite obvious. And not at Rita's old base, they didn't know where else they should be looking, where else Tommy and Astronema could put their prisoners. Zordon told them in the middle of the night to return to their houses so they could take some rest, they were stronger when they were together and Tommy already showed that he is unpredictable, so they should stick together. They decided to spend the night at Trini's house.

It was almost morning when Trini decided that she can't pretend to be asleep any longer. She looked at Billy and Zach, seeing that they managed to catch some of this precious gift. It was definitely not for her. She rose from the bed and went to the kitchen to grab some water. She took a bottle and started to drink when she felt that someone is behind her.

"Don't scream, you wake up your friends." Tommy whispered. Trini took a defensive position and she was ready to scream, but she stopped. "What do you want?" She said with an angry voice.

"I have a proposition for you but only for you. I had to wait for you to leave your friends because I needed to talk to you alone. You can at least listen to my proposition." Tommy said with a smirk on his lips.

"I'm not interested." Trini hissed. "Really? So I should go and kill your parents? That I can do." He smiled and stared. She gulped. "What do you want?" She knew that wasn't an empty threat, he was a mad man.

"Well not here." He gives her his hand, suggesting to catch it. "I'm not going anywhere with you."

"Do you think that you have a choice?" His smile was so indulgent. He knew that he had power over them and he didn't stop from using it whenever he wanted to do so. He decided that Trini will be the best choice in this matter.

Trini looked at him and caught his hand. They teleported out of here. Tommy and Trini arrived at the basement of what was once Rita's Moon Palace. Tommy chuckled when Trini stepped back away from him in fear. She was afraid of him.

"Don't worry. I said I have a proposition for you. I'm not going to hurt you right now. I promise that whether you agree or not, I will safely escort you to the earth." He said with a charming smile.

"How can I trust you after everything?" Trini asked. "You can't. You can try and fight me, but without your power coin, your chances are slim to none." Tommy answered with a shrug. Then he motioned for her to follow him, and he started to walk into the caves beneath the Palace. Trini followed him. She didn't want to be here alone.

"So, why am I here?" She said with a cold voice.

"I will give you back your power coin and your parents will safely return with you to earth." Tommy started with things that he was willing to give her back. Trini eyes opened widely. There had to be a catch. There is always a catch.

"If you are trying to make me betray my friends, it won't work." Trini said tersely, but this made him laugh. Trini shivered. He had a laugh worthy of a villain.

"Your friends don't matter to me right now. I will deal with them another time." He answered as they entered some room. There were Trini's parents, held by Goldar and Ecliptor.

"Mom! Dad!" Trini shouted. She wanted to run to them, but Goldar and Ecliptor put their blades closer to Trini's parent's throats so she stopped in the middle of the first step. There was Astronema too. She was holding a pillow with something on it. Trini guessed that was her power coin. She looked around and saw something more in this room. Bright crystal. It looked beautiful. It was hypnotizing view. She didn't even feel when Tommy went behind her and put his hands on her arms until he started to whisper to her ear. It was not creepy at all!

"Bring me that Crystal, and you will be free. Your parents will be free, and your team will be more powerful." He whispered.

"Why can't you get this crystal yourself?" Trini asked.

"Not your concern. Your concern should be your parents right now. I promised that you will return to earth safely if you don't agree. I said nothing about them." He said and he stepped back.

"You are a bastard." Trini hissed, but Tommy only smiled at hearing that. She didn't know what this crystal could do, or what it truly was, but it seemed to be protected in some way from evil. They needed somebody good to get it. She knew that whatever it was, it couldn't fall into his hands. But then she looked at her parents. Her mother was so scared. Her dad was calm, but he was scared too. They were too afraid to tell Trini "don't do this" or not to listen to Tommy. No, they were too scared. Who knows what happened to them during their capture.

She walked to the crystal and then pulled it out without any problem. "What? That's it?" She asked with surprise, but then she noticed that there was some power around it, and now it was gone. She was right. It had some defense shield, but it didn't stop her at all. She didn't even notice it, and now it was gone. She didn't have time to react when Tommy pushed her away and took away the crystal.

"Thank you, Trini." He smiled and looked at the glowing crystal. "Zedd was an idiot. It was so easy." Tommy chuckled. Astronema took Trini's power coin and threw it on the ground next to her, like she was throwing it to a dog.

"Teleport them back to Earth. We have what we need." Tommy ordered, looking at the crystal with power-hungry eyes.

They arrived in the kitchen of Trini's home. "Mom, dad are you okay?" She asked with a worried voice.

"Yes, we are fine but why didn't you tell us that you are a power ranger!" Trini's dad was angry at her.

"Dad I couldn't say." Trini started to defend herself, but then Billy and Zach came in after hearing the noise. They were shocked when they saw Trini's parents. How? When?

"You are only kids!" Trini's mom shouted. "Kids old enough defend the world." Trini hissed. "Mom, Dad I'm glad that you are safe. I'm glad that you are alive so that you can be angry at me. But Tommy is still holding their parents captive. I have work to do." The yellow ranger answered with anger in her voice. She gave Tommy something powerful to save them and they were angry at her.

"We have to go back to the command center. Billy, can you scan this? Tommy gave it back to me but I don't trust it." She took some cloth from the kitchen and picked up her coin from the floor.

"Sure." Billy said with an uncertain voice. "Let's go." Trini ordered like she was the new leader. Since Jason was somewhere with Kimberly, someone had to think about their job, right? They teleported to Zordon, leaving Trini's parents alone. Maybe this was stupid, maybe she risked them being kidnapped again. But now she was angry at them. She wasn't thinking clearly. When they were in the command center, she looked at Zordon.

"Trini, what happened? We couldn't watch your house for a while nor communicate with Billy and Zack." Zordon said. Trini only chuckled in her mind. Of course, he took care of that.

"Trini, what happened when we were asleep? Your parents are back as well as your power coin." Zack said with a little accusing voice.

"Billy, did you find anything on my power coin?" Trini asked, ignoring Zack. "No, I'm just starting to scan it." Billy answered. Trini nodded.

"I went to the kitchen to grab some water when Tommy showed up. He didn't attack me. He just teleported me to the Moon Base." Trini sighed. "He said that he would give me back my power coin and release my parents." "What did you do in exchange?" Zordon asked with a calm voice.

"I... I don't know." Trini answered. "We were in a cave under the palace, he would kill my parents if I didn't bring him some crystal from the pedestal. It seemed like they couldn't get closer to it and after he took it he said someone called Zedd was an idiot." Trini explained with a guilty voice. She knew that she would hear that it was not good that they had that crystal. She was certain of it. It couldn't be good.

Zordon was silent. "Say something." Trini said nervously. "It's bad news. Lord Zedd nearly died when he tried to take the Zeo crystal. Nobody with evil in their heart could get the crystal."

"And I brought it to them." Trini murmured. "You didn't have a choice…" Alpha tried to comfort her, but it didn't work.

"At least your power coin seems to be clear, but I will run some extra tests on it." Billy answered. Zack rubbed his head. This was madness. "How powerful is this Zeo Crystal?" Zack asked.

"Extremely powerful." Zordon answered.
