kneeling to eye level. "But first, we could use some of your help."

The floor shook again, but Egeon was utterly unaffected. "What can I do for you, son?"

"Do you know where Lord Zedd is?"

He nodded. "My Lord has been regenerating, to recover his power." He brushed the dust that had fallen to his shoulders, disinterested rather than terrified. "Though I think he has woken up." He turned back to Tommy, his gaze utterly guileless as if he had no difficulty directing his Lord's enemies to his innermost sanctum. "He regenerates in his private chamber. It is the triangular room at the top of the West tower."

Tommy turned to Kat.

"We're now about midway up the East tower," she informed him, "but at least Tanya and Adam went the right way."

Another shock wave, the most powerful so far, knocked the Rangers to the floor. Tommy struggled to his feet, watching as Katherine lifted Egeon into her arms.

"Justin, carry Tommy," she ordered. "We'll go a lot faster this way."

Tommy nodded, wrapping his arm around the Blue Ranger's neck. "We've got a lot of backtracking to do."

Justin smiled at his leader. "Don't worry; I'm sure Tanya and Adam are almost there."


Chapter One Hundred Eleven


"Tanya! You okay?"

"Yeah, fine," the Yellow Ranger grumbled, the Power lending her the enhanced strength needed to throw man-size blocks of wall from her person. As they raced through the vibrating tunnel, the entire hallway had begun collapsing into itself.

The further they ran, the more violent the tremors had become. They knew without a shadow of a doubt that they were getting close to the epicenter of all this power. Very close.

Adam glanced back down the path they had come, most of the floor covered in rubble from the ceiling, and some patches even caved into the floor below. "I hope the others get here soon."

"In the meantime, we've gotta run interference," she pointed out, hurrying forward. Adam raced at her heels, both blurring into supersonic speed as they streaked through hallway after hallway.

Finally, the darkness was brightened by an almost celestial whiteness, so brilliant it was almost blinding. Adam and Tanya instinctively deactivated their helmet headlights, and cautiously walked toward the light.

Once they were a few yards from the door, they were able to discern the wall of energy directly inside the entrance.

Tanya glared at the obstruction, raising her hands over her head. "Does Zedd really think a little flicker could stop us? Turbo Star Chargers!!

"

The twin weapons took shape in the Yellow Ranger's hands. With a fierce growl, she slashed both blades against the wall of fire.

She yelped as the fire channeled itself through the physical connection, tossing her into the opposite wall.

Adam hurried to her side, watching worriedly as she shook off the blow.

"I'm fine," she sighed, pushing out of the impression her back made into the solid stone. Adam held her shoulder steady as she brushed the dust and smoke from her armor. "It didn't hurt; I just wasn't expecting it."

The Green Ranger approached the doorway again. He leaned as close as he could to the energy barrier, watching flashes of searing white climb upward.

"This… this is fire," he realized. Cautiously, he held his palm to the door, inching to contact. Just as his fingers grazed the surface, flames licked at him, forcing him to wrench his hand back. "Definitely fire."

Tanya watched her boyfriend's analysis, her fists tightly clenching the Star Chargers. "Maybe if we both hit it at once, we can break through?"

It's not that simple. This isn't Zedd's door…I'm sure of it.



Scowling fiercely, Adam propped his hands to either side of his mouth, like a megaphone. "KIM!"

he bellowed. "LET US IN!!"



The Yellow Ranger gaped at the conclusion her teammate had reached. "You think Kimberly

locked herself in there?"

"Zedd's energy almost always manifests as lightning," the veteran Ranger explained, "Kim's the one who's been using fire lately."

"But that doesn't make sense!" Tanya insisted. "Why would she want to lock herself in a room with Lord Zedd?"

Adams lips fell into a grim line. "I think…she's trying to keep us

out."

Chapter One Hundred Twelve


Jason came to a grinding halt at a fork in the road.

"Wonderful," he groaned, clutching his forehead with his free hand. "Now

what do I do?"

He was in the middle of the most scientifically accurate decision-making method he could come up with under such stressful circumstances. However, somewhere between Miney and Mo, a rush of air turned his attention to his left. Whirling around, he clenched Goldar's colossal sword with both hands, waiting for his latest opponent to round the corner.

He deflated with relief when he saw the Pink and Blue Rangers slow from Turbo dash, coming to a full stop just a few feet from him.

"Jason," Kat sighed, "you're okay!"

The Red Ranger watched as both Kat and Justin let their passengers stand on their own. His eyes lingering curiously on the old stranger, he nodded.

"What happened to Goldar?" Tommy asked. His gaze was on the gold sword his best friend clenched.

A satisfied smirk pulled Jason's hidden lip. "He's making himself comfortable in the Dark Dimension." He nodded to the sword. "Without this, he can't create a passage out of there."

"Then that's one less thing to worry about," Justin determined, pumping his fist.

"All we have to do now is find Kim and Zedd," Tommy stated. He folded his arms over his chest, his entire body visibly tense. "Jase, this is Egeon, and he can help us find them. Tanya and Adam have already gone ahead in the right direction. We have to regroup, and fast."

Jason nodded his agreement. However, the near-constant quaking of the palace grew more insistent, causing objects to crash somewhere in the distance. "Tommy, I think you and Egeon should get out of here."

Both Kat and Justin stared at Jason, shocked that he could actually expect Tommy Oliver to retreat.

The young man's eyes narrowed, almost dangerously. "Jason, this is my

fight --"

"Be reasonable, Bro! This entire palace is falling apart. If Zedd loses too much power, the atmosphere around the palace could just vanish. It's not safe for unpowered humans. You need to take this guy and get off the moon before it's too late."

"They can't, though," Justin contributed, "Our communicators are offline. We can't even ask Zordon to teleport us home."

The temporary Red Turbo Ranger held the golden sword to Tommy. "You know as well as I do that Goldar uses his sword to teleport to Earth. You even used

it before."

Tommy watched his friend approach, holding the sword's hilt for him to take. Stubbornly, his head began to shake.

"Jason, I can't retreat," he maintained, his voice low and determined. "Lord Zedd turned this into a personal

war. He manipulated me, used the woman I love, and did everything in his power to make us kill each other!" Slowly, one side of his upper lip lifted in a trembling sneer. "I'm gonna finish the 'game'

he started," he announced, "This whole palace is gonna crumble to the ground, and he's not

getting out of here alive."

Jason stared at his best friend, his skin rapidly growing cold. The ferocity that gleamed in those dark brown eyes was petrifying, recalling to mind an afternoon long ago… when he stared into the hate-filled glare of the Evil Green Ranger.

His lips pressed in a tight line, Jason laid the heavy gold sword against the wall, and spread his arms apart. The haze of red energy swirled around him, revealing a resigned countenance.

"You're right, Tommy. Zedd did make this personal. You need to go upstairs, and find Kimberly before it's too late."

He removed the wrist-mounted device, and held it in his palm. "Just…don't do anything too

crazy, okay?"

Tommy's severe frown failed, as surprise battled against genuine gratitude. A small, barely discernible smile warmed his face as he accepted the Turbo morpher, and hastily strapped it on.

"You're one in a million, Bro."

Jason smiled as best he could. "Yeah, yeah… just be sure to remember that when you do your Christmas shopping."

He then threw a thumbs-up to Justin and Katherine, and picked up Goldar's sword again. "How does the teleport function work?"

"When I used it, I visualized the park, because that's where I wanted

to go," Tommy explained. "The sword just took me there."

"Could it really be that simple?" Katherine mused.

"Sure it can," Justin decided. "It's gotta be easy enough for all these alien bozos to handle."

Jason smiled openly at the boy's sardonic comment, and then turned to Egeon. "Ready to go?"

"Wait," Tommy interrupted. He turned to Egeon, his eyes pleading. "What's the quickest way to get to Zedd's chamber?"

The Karovan intellectual thought for a moment. "The grand stairwell is about a hundred meters down this hallway. The hall winds, so be careful. There are a few side halls, but don't turn off the main path until you see three torches lining both sides of a door post. That's the door you need to take."

Then, to the Red Ranger's surprise, the man laid a hand on his shoulder. "Do your best, Tommy. Mistress Kimberly has been anxious and angry constantly since I met her. I do wish her happiness… and for some reason, I feel you can help her find it."

Tommy stood speechless for a long moment, eyebrows raised at the insight the spellbound man was capable of. Then, he nodded fervently.

"I will save her. I swear I will."

Egeon seemed satisfied by the boy's zealous response. "Good. She reminds me of my daughter… and I want her to have what Karone could not."

Jason stared, positively baffled by the heartrending words that streamed from a mouth wearing such a serene smile. But he decided not to ask. "Good luck guys."

Kat, Tommy, and Justin nodded gratefully,
