"Alpha says he is stable, but he's been unconscious since it all happened. Tanya and I have been working on a way to bring him round, but with no luck so far." Adam said, and Billy could see that he was deeply concerned about Rocky.

"I'll take a look at him in a moment..." he reassured. Adam nodded, relieved.TJ frowned. "It's not us that they're objecting to, exactly. It's not so much that they don't want us to have the Power as it is that they do want their people to have it. It's perfectly understandable for a planet to want a complete Ranger team."

"What's complete?" Kerone retorted. "Zhane and Andros defended KO-35 alone for three years. If the two of them could protect a Border planet in the middle of a war, I don't see why three people can't do just as well during a time of peace."

TJ didn't have any answer for that, but Zhane saw Carlos shrug out of the corner of his eye. "She's got a point," the Black Ranger commented. "I know where you're coming from, TJ, but we can't avoid a fight if we're going to stand up for ourselves. We have to explain why we're not giving up our morphers, to the Alliance if no one else. We can't expect them to defend our decision if we don't tell them why."

Tanya cut in "Kat is ripped apart by this Tommy out of control over Kimberley thing. Jason is shouldering the brunt of the battles and...well he's not looking so good..the team is falling apart!"Adam whistled softly. "Quite a place," he remarked. Beside him, Ashley nodded speechlessly. The six teens stood on the rocky shore of Phaedos, looking around in astonishment. Around them, cliffs and rocky promontories stretched as far as any of them could see.
          "So how do we find this Dulcea person?" Carlos asked.
          Billy chuckled. "She'll find us, most likely. But as I recall, her compound is in that direction. Come on."
          As they walked, Christina noticed her boyfriend beginning to tense up. "What's the matter?" she asked quietly.
          "I guess I just keep expecting the Tengas to pop out of nowhere. This was where they attacked us in the other universe."
          "But Rita's not after us this time," Christina informed him.
