"Hasn't Tommy viewed the record of events?" Billy asked as he fixed another load of connection. His wolf-spirit stirred within him asking deeper questions of why Zordon had had the viewing globe trained on the group at that particular time. No time for that now.

Adam coughed tiredly, showing the signs of strain. "Tommy smashed the place pretty thoroughly after Skye left - we don't know much about this place Billy. Tanya and I and Alpha have only just managed to get the viewing globe back on line."

He paused, ashamed "To be honest we thought that Skye had let Kim fall."   With a thump, a figure landed on the rocks in front of the six teens. Clad in a green bikini-style outfit, the woman was tall and muscular, with dark blond hair and light blue eyes. "How do you know my name?" she asked, gripping a staff suspiciously. "For I am quite certain we have never met before." "Actually, you can," Cassie interjected. "That's what it means to be an Allied world. But I agree with Carlos. KO-35 started this, and if you don't fight back they'll turn the intergalactic media into their playground."

TJ gave her an amused look. "Is that your professional diplomatic opinion?"

"For whatever it's worth," she agreed, returning his smile. "The Defense can make just as good a case for KO-35, so you'd better give the Alliance as much to work with as you can. It's probably better to get in touch with them sooner rather than later."

          Billy grimaced. "Well, we have, or rather, versions of us in an alternate universe have. But that doesn't really matter. We have a problem, and we've come for your help."
          She shook her head. "I will send no more after the Great Power. Too many have already died in the attempt."
          "We don't need the Great Power," Tanya replied. "We've already got powers of our own."
          "You're what we've come looking for," Carlos added. "We need you to help our mentor, Zordon."
          Dulcea's eyes lit up. "Zordon? You are Earth's Rangers?"

Billy let all this information flow through him, into his mind. What a mess! He had to organise his thoughts a moment and found himself automatically reaching for his mindlink with Skye only to find a gaping hole...a sensation not unlike find yourself stepping over empty air. Right first things first. Adam was watching him intently. Billy rapidly attached a few wires and restored life to a couple of the consoles. He called up the results of the tests that Adam had been performing on Rocky first and ripped off a print out.
