****************************************************************************** "Perfect." laughed Lord Zedd, "There in the middle of nowhere. We are better than the Machines!" "Oh I'm SO wicked!" "Shall we leave a note to the others? Confuse them?" asked Rita "No. I think having them in suspence would be better. Don't you my dear?" "I guess your right. This'll be fun!" she screeched. *** "Kimberly! KIMBERLY! Tommy! TOMMY!" Robert frantically ran through Tommy's house trying to find the two. "HELLO!" he screamed, "HELLO!!!!!!!!" ****************************************************************************** Alonzo sat in his hammock while Julia fixed his cast. Suddenly pain went through Alonzo's head. He screamed in pain and feel out of bed. He slid around the ground until final he stopped. "Alonzo!" Julia screamed, "Devon get in here!" Devon came running in. "What happened?" she looked at the still Alonzo. His hands were over his ears. "What happene?" "I'm not sure. One minute I was checking his leg the next he was wiggiling and was in pain." "You don't supposed..." Devon chose not to answer that question. "Danziger! Baines. Get in here." The two strong men walked into the tent. They saw Alonzo and lifted him back up to his bed. Alonzo woke up and looked at all of them. A look of fear was in his dark eyes. "They're here." *** Tommy and Kimberly walked in silence. They didn't walk far because they didn't want to get lost. Wherever they are it sure seemed like earth. "Tommy." she stopped walking, "What are we going to do?" "Just stay alert Kim. That's all we can do until we find out were we are." "Where do YOU think we are?" she looked into his eyes, "because I have no idea." "Well, I'm no astrologer!" "Astromomer." "I can't even remember the name of all the eight planets!" "Nine." "See." he threw his hands up in the air, "I don't remember what planets have what moons." "Tommy. This couldn't be in out Solar System. There is no other planets, what's the word? I think it's "M Class". There are no other "M Class" planets in our Solar System." "Ya, well. With Zedd, Rita and the Machines, who knows!" Kim looked confused. "Machines?" "Yup. Our nice new enemies. Lets see. Kimg Mondo, Quess Machina, Sproket, Gasket, Archerina, Klank, Orbus. I can go on. I don't think it's them though. We kinda blew up their King and they're busy putting him back together." he smiled. "I get it." she looked at the two moons and tears formed in her eyes. "Tommy. I'm scared. It so different to have something like this happen to you when the Power doesn't protect you." He put his arm around her to comfort her. "Don't tell me the legondary Pink Ranger is afraid." he tanted. "Listen buster. I'm fragile now. I'm already mad at myself for what I did to you." "Hey. We're on another planet. Forget it." he smiled. "Now I have you all to myself." he joked. She smiled. He always had a way to make her feel better,but she knew he was still a little bitter, "Oh, you're funny!" Suddenly five Terrians errupted from the ground and surronded the teens. Instincitly Tommy grabbed Kim and protected her. "What the..." she schreeched. The Terrians made their noises "Ewww, gross. They sound like putties! I think you better morph." "Right." he moved his arms out infront of him. "It's Morphin Time!" Nothing. "I think we have a problem." The Terrians lowered there heads and Tommy fell to the ground. Kimberly rushed to the ground to help him. From what she could see he was asleep. The Terrians didn't move. They held thier electric staffs and stood still. Their deathly faces made Kim cry even harder. tommy was in the same field he landed in with kim, but she was not there. the area seemed whiter though and more fuzzy his leg was fully healed though he still wore his pajamas. the terrians were around him. 'where's kimberly. if you hurt her i'll kill you!' tommy could hear the terrians thoughts. they were thoughts of peace and not of violence. tommy figured out that they were guest. sent here for a great power and to help the terrians. they told him to stay where they were. not to move. Suddenly he awoke to find Kim crying over him. Her tears fell on his face. "Kim Kim. It's okay. They're here in peace." "How do you know that." she helped him to a sitting position. "I don't know. I think it was a dream but it seemed so real. They," he pointed to the natives, "are called Terrians." "Terrians. As in the earth? Terre?" "I guess that would explain were they came from." The Terrians all disappeared into the ground. "That is too weird. Tommy, I wanna go home!" "Me too Kim. I don't think we can though. Not yet. We have to stay here. The Terrians sais something about a Power that can help us and them. I don't really understand." "Well, lets wait." They both lay down on the soft grass. It brought back memories to be back so close together. *** "Bess! Bess! I would really prefer if you didn't go with the scouting party! What if they are hideous things wi-wi-with five eyes and six legs and green hair!" "Honey." she hugged her husband, "You have nothing to be afraid of! The Terrians said they are from Earth. From the past. Morgan, they are our ancestors. They lived on Earth. I lived on Earth aswell. Do you think I look like a mutant?" "Of course not dear. You're beautiful." "Thanks you." she kissed him on the cheek, "Now, Devon wants me to go because I know the most about Earth. It's gonna be me, Yale, Devon, Julia and Alonzo." "As long as that tough guy Danziger isn't there...all right. I'll let you go." "Thank you." she walked out the door smiling. 'Gotta keep him happy." *** "So why did you chose Jason to be the Gold Ranger?" "I'm not sure. I always feel guilty for taking over his leadership when I became the White Ranger." "Tommy, that wasn't your chose...about being leader." "I know. I still feel rude. Also, Jason was coming home. I have no idea where Zack and Trini are." "Last I heard from Trini, she and Zack had a thing going." "No wonder Jason wanted out of there." Kimberly jabbed him in the ribs and laughed. For what seemed like hours they just sat there and looked up at the moons. It was now dark and was getting cold. Tommy and Kim had to get closer together to stay warm. "I think those Terrians are trying to get us to freeze to death! I mean we're not exactly dressed right." "I know" he replied, teeth chattering, "I'd give you something of mine if I had it!" Tommy sat up with a start. He looked in all directions. There was a light coming staright at them. He stood in a fighting stance. Just for the heck of it Kim did the same. "Just like all times, eh?" Tommy laughed. "I liked the old days better! This is scary! Should we run?" asked Kim "I think we might as well see what this is. We'll freeze to death if we don't get help soon." "Right." The light grew closer. *** The five people were jammed onto the ATV. Julia and Alonzo sat in the front. Yale sat in the upper seat and Bess and Devon stood on the back. Devon had her "Jumpers." "Guys!" she lowered them, "I think that I see them. At 2 o' clock." "What do they look like?" asked Yale. "Well I can't see any detail but I'd say one is about 6' and the other around 5' 3"." "At least we're not dealing with anything to weird so far." snorted Julia. "Alonzo. Halt the vehicle." he stopped it. "I think we should proceed on foot. Alonzo you can follow behind in the ATV. Yale. Get a "MagPro" just in case." "No." Alonzo interrupted. He looked ahead, "We can't threaten them, for the Terrians." "Okay Alonzo. Lets go." The four got off and Alonzo followed slowly. *** "They look human. Two legs to arms. That's a good sign. Maybe we are on earth after all" Kim looked at Kim, both still in thier defensive pose. "Ahh, earth to Kim. You haven't forgotten our little encounter with those dirt guys from under ground." "Good point. Well at least they have the right amount of arms and legs!" "I feel the same way." The stood there as the strangers approached slowly. The teens felt ridiculous holding there pose when the others were approaching so slowly. When the two groups of strangers were 30 feet apart the Terriand errupted out of the ground. "Owwww, not again."Kim whimpered. "This could be interesting. I wonder which group is the good group?"
