Jason Lee Scott waited at Angel Grove Airport for the plane. "Fight 134 is now ariving at gate 14." said a voice over the PA.

Jason stood up as she ran to him and jumped into his arms. "Jase!" she as Jason huged her.

"Hey." Jason with a smile "How was the trip?"

"It was good." she said as they went to get her luggage "Want to get something to eat?"

Jason looked at her. "Didn't you eat on the plane?" he asked.

"Yea." she smiled "But you know how airplane food are. They are just fozen until they are heated up." Jason smile as they left.

At the Juice Bar, Tommy Oliver, Kat Hillard, Tanay Salon, Adam Park, Rocky DeSantos, and Billy Carston hanged out. Things had been peaceful in Angel Grove the last few days. Consequently, the teens were getting worried. The concept of the "calm before the storm" was one they were all too familiar with.

"This is nuts!" Rocky moaned. "Sometimes I think I am just going insane. I don't want Mondo to do anything, but when he doesn't it is worse, waiting for him to do what you didn't want him to do but expect him to anyway."

"Huh?" Tanya was confused by Rocky's somewhat incoherent rambling.

"I think he means sometimes nothing is worse than something" Adam clarified.

"Oh, yeah, that makes much more sense." Tanya rolled her eyes and glanced over to Kat for help.

"Don't look at me. The rule of thumb for me is that if Rocky starts making sense it's a bad sign." said Kat.

"That makes sense." Tanya said.

"Maybe Rocky is right." said Tommy as the others looked at him "Well think about it. Mondo hasn't made any attack in four days. We should be worried."

"Tommy is right on that one." said Billy.

"Hey." said Adam as he looked around "Where's Jason?"

"He called me an hour ago." said Tommy "He said he'll be a little late."

Just then Jason and the girl came in. Tommy and the others stood up surprised. "Hey guys." she said.

In the Machine Empire, King Mondo was not happy. He had been resting, contemplating his next move against those pesky Power Rangers. He paced angry. "We go to get rid of the Red Ranger!" he yelled "Klank!"

"Your highness." said Klank's voice from another room.

"Get in here at once!" King Mondo demanded.

"You called?" said Klank coming form the other room.

"I want you to make a monster to hurt the Red Ranger and that can take away his powers." said King Mondo "Then have it send the Red Ranger to dimension farway."

"Right away your highness." said Klank as he left to do his biting.

"Kim?" all the teens said surprised to see the ex-pink ranger standing infront them.

Jason smiled. "Surprise aren't ya?" he said.

The teens came up to them. "Jase," said Tommy quite surprise "Why didn't you tell us?"

"We wanted it to be a surprised." said Kimberly Hert with a smile.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Klank was beside himself with excitement as he came to King Mondo. "Come with me at once. You must see it. The monster you want is done."

"Good job Klank." said King Mondo "Well. What are you waiting for? Let me see him."

Queen Machina and Prince Sprocket entered the throne room, drawn by curiosity. "What is going on my dear?" Machina asked, snapping her fan.

Before King Mondo could reply, Klank cut in, "I finally got a monster to hurt that Red Ranger, to take away his powers, and send him to a far away dimension." Without further ado, he removed the cover a big and very strong robot bug monster that looked at Stag Bettle.

Prince Sprocket had his own idea. "Give him to me! Please Daddy? Give him to me! I want to play with him. I can practice being mean and cruel. Please?"

King Mondo replied to his offspring in a distracted manner. "Not this time. Not him, son. Maybe something else, but not him." he said "His is my full proof plan. Good job, Klank!" he added. Then a rush of excitement came over him, the idea of the monster hurting the Red Ranger and sending him to a dimension farway without power was a great idea. "Klank." he said "It's time to send down the monster at the Rangers. The Rangers won't be able to stop the monster to send their leader to an other dimension."

"Yes Your Majesty," said Klank "He'll do it."

"Well." he said, "What are you waiting for? Get to it! Red Ranger must be with out power as soon as possible, and then all that will remain is others." Klank hurried away to do his king's bidding, chuckling as he did so. It was not a pleasant sound at all.

"Beep-beep-beep-beep!" Tommy's communicator beeped out the familiar notes, alerting the Rangers that Zordon was trying to reach them.

The eight teenagers found their favorite deserted corner of the Youth Center. Tommy actived his communicator. "Tommy here Zordon, what's up?"

"Rangers, King Mondo has just sent a monster. Teleport to the Park immediately."

"We'll be right there Zordon," said Tommy "Tommy out."

"Maybe me and Kim can go to the Power Chamber to see if Alpha needs help." said Billy.

Kimberly nodded in agreedment. "Yea." she said.

Tommy looked at him. "Alright." he said "Go right ahead." Billy and Kimberly teleported away in streaks of white. He looked at the others. "Guys." he said, "It's Morphing Time!"

"Zeo Ranger I Pink!"

"Zeo Ranger II Yellow!"

"Zeo Ranger III Blue!"

"Zeo Ranger IV Green!"

"Zeo Ranger V Red!"

"Gold Ranger Power!"

The Rangers teleported into the Park, were Cogs and the monster were tarizing it. "Well." said the monster "The Power Rangers are here."

"Get ready to be swatted!" called Tommy.

"Try your best!" called the monster.

"Then let's get them." said Jason. All the Rangers went into krate stance.

The Rangers let lose on the monster, and the Cogs. Then suddenly the monster fired, and Tommy was directly in the line of fire. "Tommy!" Jason shouted at him "Look out!"

Tommy turned and saw the monster fired. He tried to jumped out of the way, when there was a flash of light an electrifying pulse passed through Tommy and hurting him very badly. He then collapsed unconscious to the grassy ground.

"NOOOO!!!" called Jason as he tried to ran to him, but the Cogs held him back.

The monster cames torwords Tommy. The monster toch him with a claw. Then him and the moster glowed a bright light. The Rangers watched in dispare as they saw Tommy suddly demorphed. Then Tommy disappeared. "TOMMY!!!" they all called out.

Then the moster and the cogs disappeared back through the portal from whence they came. The Rangers ran to there Tommy and the monster was. On the ground as Tommy's commuatior, and Zeo Morphers. "He's-" Kat started "He's gone."

"Zordon." said Jason as soon as they had materialized back inside the Power Chamber "The monster took Tommy." He couldn't shake the feeling of what will happen to Tommy where ever he is. He could feel Kim's hand on his shoulder.

"This is very serious Rangers." Zordon intoned, as he looked at Alpha 5 and Billy "Alpha, and Billy. Start the sharch for Tommy."

"Right Zordon." said Alpha 5 as he and Billy started to work.

Tommy reappered in a farway dimension. He was still badly hurt and unconscious. Soon a dark shadow looms over him.

"Have you locate him, Billy?"" Jason asked as Billy and Alpha still sheaching.

"Guys, I have been trying to locate him, it's hard since his commuiator and moprher are here with us. It's like he vanished into thin air." Billy was distraught.

"What can we do, Zordon? We have to get him back." Kat asked.

"The first thing to do is to locate him. You need to be ready for whatever rescue opportunity that presents itself. In the meantime," he said as he looked at Kimberly "Kimberly, would you like to take the Red Zeo Power?" Zordon knew Billy couldn't.

"Sure Zordon." said Kimberly.

The End?
