They had spent much time on the creation of this object. Once it had been large enough to mistake for a small planet moving rouge through the galaxy. Now its size had dwindled down over the release of energy that it had been using in order to find a habitable planet. No larger than the size of a woman's thumbnail it would easily slip into the atmosphere of the world it would encounter that would be suitable.

The vacuum of space crushed into it and the alien device felt the familiar gravitational pull of a small planet. The device had a built in energy flux measurer. It scanned the planet and found that there was a high level of energy there, which would in chance mean that there would be a high level of life there. Summing up the last of its reserves it changed its course and made its way down to the planet's surface.

The atmosphere worked against it and the heat nearly burned through the shell which contained that which would unite with a male only. This was expected, otherwise the shell might never break and then union would never come to pass. Closer and closer it pulled to the planet's surface drawn to the strong energy signature that its sensors had picked up. The shell began to open then and it let loose its contents when it was no more then twenty feet away from the crust of the planet. Its mission had been accomplished.

"Hey Adam, how 'bout you give us a share of that water you got there?" Rocky said. Adam looked him over once and noticed that his tanned skin had become darker as the summer passed. He had been tanning a bit and the exposure made him look healthy and stronger.

"No no, you don't have to share if you don't want to," Tommy said, he wasn't sweating as hard. Then again though in the game of frisbee that they had been playing Tommy hadn't expended too much effort. Adam looked over Tommy quickly too. Tommy had changed, he was racing cars more now than ever before. He said that when he hit certain speeds it was like his brain was on a high. He had cut his hair short and had managed to gain about ten more pounds of muscle. His sparring had also gotten better, Adam winced as he tentatively touched his side and felt the bruise Tommy had given him the other day.

"It's all right, here both of you share," Adam said with one of his semi crooked smiles and handed the bottle to Rocky.

"Cool," Rocky said snatching the water and gulping half of it down before Tommy could even get a sip.

"Uh Rocky, it's not the last bottle of water on earth you know," Tommy said sarcastically as he snatched the bottle away from Rocky. Rocky pouted and turned to look at Adam who was laying back under the shade of the tree.

"Man, can we like get out of here? This heat is just way too much combined with all this humidity," he said crossing his arms on his tank top t-shirt. "I have stuff to do, you know try to set up my school."

"Yeah, we might as well as go. Tanya's not going to show up," Adam said as he shrugged and picked up the water bottle that Tommy had set down. All of them were free of the shade of the tree now and Tommy stopped suddenly. "Tommy? What's wrong?" Adam said looking back and seeing Tommy standing still.

"...nothing man, I just thought that I felt something. Something strange all around us, like a gust of wind or something. I dunno, must have been the heat," Tommy said shaking his head and running a hand over his brow.

Just as they were about to leave the park Tanya showed up. She had changed her hair for the summer castillian that they were going to have. It was totally straight with no curl to it at all. She wore some tight biker shorts and a lycra top that hinted at the roundness and fullness of her breasts. Her hips, which were soft and feminine and perfect in every way gave way to her legs which were smooth and long all the way to her dainty feet. All of the boys stopped and looked her over as she approached them, such appreciative stares at a woman had not been given since Kim had been on the team. Tanya blushed and walked over to Adam grabbing his jaw a little and winking.

"What are you all looking at?" she said with a playful demeanor.

"Something I want to get into badly," Adam said as his skin flushed red and his breathing increased a small amount. Tanya was slightly taken aback by his forward answer to her question, and the presence of others being able to hear it.

"Whoa," Rocky said.

Adam noticed what he said and flushed brightly. What had he just done? He would never say something like that. The heat must really be getting to him. Tommy just looked at him and chuckled. Tommy figured it was about time that Adam began to act a little more assertive of what was his. He was going out with Tanya for a long time as it was anyway. Tanya seeming to read his thoughts gave Tommy an odd look and pulled Adam away from the group with a mischievous intent.

"Those two are so perfect together aren't they?" Tommy asked Rocky.

"Uh, yeah," Rocky said staring at something.

Right now though it was still too weak to try to do anything. Or was it? The substance tried to will the host's body to its own action and got a surprising reaction. Once again as it flooded the bloodstream of the young male the substance shivered. Anticipation of what was to come, that which it would reap, the young the females would sow...

Adam looked around for the baby oil that he had placed in the closet a long time ago. There it was, right where he had last placed it and it had gone unnoticed. He smiled again and reached for it with a knowing intent when someone walked into the bathroom. Adam snatched his hand back as if he had been burned and looked at the sudden intruder.

"Adam, are you okay? I was calling you from downstairs asking for some help and you never answered," his mother said in a high tone.

"Oh, uh I was using the bathroom and I didn't hear you, you know how sound doesn't carry well in the house," he offered softly. His mother stopped and then just turned around on her heel. She told him on her way down the stairs that she needed his help and Adam followed after her with his head down. Could she know what he was going to do? Was she setting him up for some type of trial? Who knew when it came to his mother, she was a weird one at that.

As soon as he made it down to the car he saw his mother bent over trying to reach some bags that were in the trunk. Once again, Adam felt his pulse quicken and a feeling of longing came over him in almost uncontrollable force. He glanced at her silken legs and round firm buttocks that was displayed amply in front of him. She looked so-No! What the hell was he thinking? Adam turned green just as his mother turned around and looked at him. She gasped and set the bag down that she had been holding and walked over to him. Placing her hand on his forehead she found him to be all clammy and covered in a sheen of sweat.

"Oh Adam!" she said as she drew him to her chest in a motherly embrace. To Adam though the maneuver was a little more than he could take and he pulled away violently racing to the side so that he could vomit. What was he feeling? The last few minutes had been like a haze to him? He looked up at his mother in between spewing and realized the feeling had expired. Sighing, Adam straightened up and walked back over to her weakly. She looked fearful for him and told him to go lay down. Adam offered no protest and went right back into the house quickly.

"My god, what's happening to me?" he said as he felt like his energy was drained from him.

The simians had gotten into her makeup and had tried to write something on the wall earlier. She sighed thinking that the day's work had gotten to her. She thought this because she had sworn that the chimps had scribbled 'help Power Rangers' on the wall. Shaking her head and laughing she knew that it couldn't have been possible. After she had finished closing and cleaning the place Emily began to walk to her car.

It was late out and the moon was bright with the stars above. Emily wished that Jason had come to pick her up but he was out of town as it was. She always felt anxious walking alone in the dark at night. A chilling breeze passed over her skin and she let out a small gasp of surprise. Turning and looking behind her she realized that it was nothing. Continuing over to her little bug she fumbled for the key when she got there. It was then that she heard the footsteps behind her.

"Who's there?" she said in a weak voice that cracked. She was petrified. There was no answer though and when she stopped to look she saw nothing. Sighing again and deciding that the wind was having a good time scaring her Emily turned and opened her car door. She took the keys out and bent over as she began to enter the car. It was then that she was struck with such force that she was knocked into the passenger seat on the other side of the car. "Uuf, what the hel-" she tried but a hand covered her mouth with a brute strength.

"Don't move, don't talk, don't do anything bitch," the gruff voice said. It sounded roughly familiar and Emily couldn't help but shiver. A strong hand came and ripped her shirt off of her, she stiffened up reflexively and watched through tearful eyes as the rough hand stroked her exposed breasts which weren't covered by a bra. The soft roundness gave way to the strong knowing hands and she felt herself shiver. The fingers of the aggressor worked over her nipples causing her to moan softly. Emily screamed again and tried to kick her legs into the aggressor.

"Didn't I saw don't move bitch?" the rapist said as he took his hand and pushed her head back. He then used his other hand to rip at the pants she had been wearing. Emily cursed herself for wearing such giveable pants and watched in terror as they gave way. She hadn't worn any panties either and the aggressor commented on that. "Ah, slut, dirty whore, not wearing any panties eh?" the voice said with spite to its tone. The man slipped his head down and began to gently lick at Emily's already reacting womanhood. She cried thinking of how much her body was enjoying the act and how much she was hating every step of it. The wet and hot tongue soon found her pleasure button and began to go to work on it with a fury. Emily moaned as her hips bucked and she tried to shove more of her womanhood into the aggressor's face. "You really want it don't you?"

"No, damn it you mother fucker! I know the Power Rangers, and my boyfriend will get you. You think you can get away with this I, oh, I oh god!" she said as the stranger began to slip a few fingers into her tightness with vigor. Then Emily sat extremely still as she heard the one thing that symbolized her defeat. A small unzipping sound of the stranger's pants. Emily screamed as the stranger scrambled back up her writing body and tried to slip his extremely large phallus in her tightness. "No, you're too big! You're going to rip me open!" she cried out as the rapist continued his work. Then with a disgusting pop, he was inside of her and began pounding away. "Oh,god, Oh god, help me somebody help me!" she screamed as the stranger clamped a hand down on her mouth. Emily tried to fight but in the confines of the car and with the strangers brute strength she was loosing the battle. Eventually she gave up all resistance and gave way to a back part of her mind. The stranger stopped moving and she noticed this immediately, then with an overwhelming force he began to spill his seed into her. The force of his semen being jettisoned into her was so strong Emily could feel each time he spasmed. She counted twenty times before he pulled off of her and wiped at his mouth. She could almost make out his features, then just before she realized who it was a hand struck her to the side of the temple. She fell into a deep blackness as the stranger began to laugh over her.

Hello? Adam, Adam are you there? This is Tanya, its an emergency, Emily she got into some trouble. She's been hurt Adam, will you pick up the phone? Adam come on, we're all down at the hospital, we think you should be here too. Adam hurry!

Adam jumped out of bed and raced for the showers. What could have happened to Emily last night? Adam groaned to himself as the water came on freezing with coldness. Still, it helped to awaken him and he moved a hell of a lot faster getting his clothes on and rushing out to his old bike. His parents had taken the car seeing as how he had slept in and he had no choice but to use old Candy. As he pedaled to the hospital he reflected on how he had named the bike Candy. Adam had snuck into his mother's candy stash and was in the process of devouring it all when his parents came home. They were so proud of him for not eating his mother's candy in two weeks that they had bought him a bike. Much to their chagrin and his they found out he ate her candy and took the bike away. From then on he had started calling the bike Candy.

The hospital was a mess, it was filled with people who were suffering from sunstroke along with other common summer illnesses. Adam picked his way through the crowd and caught Tanya standing near an elevator that was just about to close. He dashed over to her and managed to get his foot in the door before it shut fully. The doors swung open an Tanya ran to Adam and hugged him. Her breasts gently bounced against his chest and she smelled of sweet perfume. Stepping inside she hit the switch for the fourth floor. Adam recognized it as the severe trauma floor.

"What happened to Emily?" asked Adam between breaths as he took in the view of Tanya's figure. Why was he thinking about that now? He shook his head and she looked at him funny.

"Adam are you all right?" she asked and when he nodded she went on, "Emily's been raped Adam. Brutally the rapist beat her around and really wounded her... her, well he busted up her private," Tanya said not able to bring herself to say something too vulgar.

"Oh my god," Adam said as he felt his hunger abate. Adam gently took Tanya's hands into his and then the elevator stopped. Wails of anguish were heard all through the halls as they passed down them. "I've never been here before," Adam said as he looked in a room and saw a woman walking around in circles.

"These are the severe trauma patients, the ones who had survived through close encounters with the alien kind if you get my drift," she said with a meaningful arch in her eyes. Adam kept quiet, he never thought that their battles with monsters and aliens could travel over this far to normal people. Sighing he kept going until they came to Emily's room.

"...it's amazing, her vagina has been stretched some much that it may not be repairable," a voice said.

"But Doctor, you can do anything. I believe that you could do this surgery easily," a female voice said.

"Thank you for your vote of confidence," the voice said before it came around the door. Adam recognized the doctor and smiled as his nurse followed him out of the room. They had been standing near the door to discuss what they had said in private, Adam couldn't help but wonder if they realized that their conversation had been heard.

"Oh, Adam you made it, yo bro come sit over here," Jason said as he stood up and bear hugged Adam. Adam almost said something harsh but realized that Jason's eyes were red and that he had probably been crying. No one else was in the room save for him and Emily who was currently sleeping.

"Did anything come up?" Tanya asked tentatively.

"No news at all, I think the police are sort of at a loss on this one," Jason said sitting down and dropping his head between his shoulders.

"But, they could get a sperm sample couldn't they?" Tanya pressed.

"No, the semen they sampled wasn't anything like they had ever come across before. It was sort of alien almost, or at least that is what one of the nurses said before she realized she was letting information go. Man I wish I was still a Ranger, at least then I could do some more on this," he said woefully.

"Jason! Emily could hear you," Adam reminded him.

"It's not like she doesn't already know, Adam," Jason said with a little bit of harshness in his voice. Adam just sat back a little and let Jason cool down. He was being burnt at both ends and didn't really need to loose his cool right now.

"How long has she been asleep?" Adam asked after time had passed.

"She's been sleeping for four hours. The Doctors gave her some medicine so that she could get some rest. The pain was much too strong for her. God that freak out there really messed her up," Jason said pounding his fist into his hand.

"Jason, I'm sorry...." Tanya began before he cut her off.

"Yeah, it's all right you have nothing to be sorry about you didn't do it. You just make sure that it doesn't happen to you. This guy out there could be a serial rapist and if that's the fact then a lot more women may end up in here like this," he stated.

Tanya sat up straight and looked around as he said this. His words had gotten through to her and the effect had scared her. Adam took her hand and held it while she stood next to his seat. She had a look on her face as if she had just gotten an idea. Adam stood up too, as she had been pulling on his hand telling him she wanted to leave.

"Uh, Jason we'll be back in a few. If you need us just page me. I have my beeper with me," Tanya said and left the room with Adam in a hurry.

"Where are we going?" Adam asked.

"To get a sample of that semen, and hopefully find out just who did this to Emily," Tanya said as she rushed through the halls with him. Adam watched the bounce of her breasts from behind and the rhythmic movements of her legs as they rushed down the halls. They finally made it to a closeted room that had the word samples on it. Tanya figured that that was easy and opened the door to step inside. Adam followed her in and shut the door behind him. It was dark inside the room and Tanya couldn't see anything in front of her. She turned and she swore that she saw a figure standing there with some sort of red energy coming off of itself. It began to reach for her and exposed its wilted and leathery hands to her eyes. Tanya screamed and turned to run only to run headlong into the wall of the room. The ghoulish figure kept reaching for her, the closer it came the more distinct she could see its features. It had reptilian eyes and withered leathery skin, huge muscles and sharp teeth that seemed to be able to move. As she glanced at the whole body of the monster she looked down and nearly passed out, it was nude and there was no argument in whether it was male of female, it was definitely all male, and wanting for her.

"No, OH GOD NO!!!" she shouted as she scrambled for the light switch on the wall and kept reaching. Slipping on the floor she realized that the thing was seconds away when suddenly the lights flipped on. there right next to her stood Adam with a worried look on his face and his hand on a bottle.

"Tanya what's wrong?" he said all tensed up and ready to use the bottle.

"You, you didn't see it?" she said looking around confused on the floor.

"See what?" he said helping her up and looking into her frightened eyes. Whatever she had seen had really shaken her up. "There was something here?"

"I swore I just saw one of the most hideous monsters ever right in here. It almost had me even, my god the closer it got the more of it I could see and Adam, it...." she said and then collapsed into his arms sobbing. Adam looked around and noticed that there was nothing in the room. Nothing had been disturbed and everything was in place. He looked at the bottle he had grabbed and found that it was labeled 'suspect rapist' on it. He held Tanya and then activated his communicator so that he could teleport to the Power Chamber. This was going to be a long day.

"Yo yo yo! This sample is acidic D! I ain't doin nothing with this until I put on the gloves!" Alpha 6 said as he walked to the back to put on some heavy duty gloves.

"Acidic?" Tanya said as she looked into the jar.

"But if it was acidic then it would have eaten through Emily right away wouldn't it?" Adam said as he bent down a little to stare into the jar.

"Perhaps there was something about Emily's chemical balance that made the substance non acidic?" Dimitria added contemplatively.

"All right yo, I think I can handle this jism," Alpha 6 said absently as he walked over and poured a small sample on the tray. Tanya just looked at him and wondered how the little bot could have learned such language. "Ho shi- I mean uh, Dimitria let me give you the 'spects on this before I show the Rangers over here," he said as he waddled over to the tube and placed the data in a date feed. Dimitria was silent for a moment and Tanya looked up at her questioningly.

"Rangers, as you would know you have been fighting space monsters for a long time, correct? But now as chance would have it you may be fighting something that I don't understand, is it possible that the data banks have any information on this substance Alpha 6?" she said in a slightly fearful tone.

"Nothin'," Alpha 6 said right away crushing Adam and Tanya's hopes.

"So Dimitria this substance is not natural in origin as per say from Earth?" Adam added.

"Do you think that is it?" Dimitria began.

"Well, if it came from a human, as Emily said...." Tanya tried to begin but her thoughts kept wandering back to the monster she had seen. "Adam, lets go back and see Jason now. I think he may need us there," she said softly.

"Well, okay, thanks for your help Alpha and Dimitria," Adam said as he teleported them back to the hospital. Dimitria looked at Alpha and Alpha looked at her.

"Why didn't you tell them everything Dimitria?" Alpha asked her in a concerned voice.

"I don't know... do you think we had enough evidence to suspect what we do?" she asked

him."Yo, this is something bad. I hope it ain't what I think it is," Alpha 6 said as he went to the back again putting the gloves back.

"Yeah, I heard you needed your air conditioner fixed. At least my mom gave me the message and I brought the tools over to see what I could do," he said smiling his casual smile.

"Great if you'll follow me," Kat said as she led him to the stairs which led to the main hallway. There in front of the them sat the air conditioner. It was in a large window and it looked almost brand new. Rocky gave her a questioning look and she nodded and went over to turn it on. As soon as she did it began to gurgle and burble and make all sorts of noises. Then the power went out and the two of them were standing in the dark. "Oh bother!" Kat said as she rolled up a window shade.

"Heh, looks like you do need my help after all!" Rocky said giving Kat a sort of smile that was half smirk have grin. She liked the way Rocky smiled. It showed his feelings at the moment. With that part of the problem seen she dismissed herself to go down the stairs and to get some drinks after she had fixed the fuses again.

"So how is everything going up there? I got the power back on...." Kat said as she passed the stairs so that she could let her voice carry to Rocky. As she went by she thought she heard a muffled 'fine' but just couldn't be sure. So she got the drinks that she had promised and began to walk up the stairs slowly so as not to spill them on her way up.

"Ah, this is sort of out of my range, this type of air conditioner you know," Rocky said as he turned around to look at her. He looked bored and slightly tired and that winner smile was gone. Kat sat down next to him and looked into the now open air conditioner she handed him a drink and took a sip of hers.

"Hrmph, it does look a little advanced eh? Oh well, oh hey look at this is that a computer chip or somethin-" she began as she automatically began to reach for the exposed part of the air conditioner.

"Don't touch that!" Rocky said as he smacked her hand away hard. Kat gave him a hurt look but it was soon replaced by a understanding one as he told her how dangerous it was even to touch a machine that was not plugged in before she was grounded.

"Grounded?" she began.

"Yeah, you have to like touch the ground and make sure that the machine wont be able to zap you. Because if you weren't grounded," he said as he reached out to touch the machine, "you would get-" but Rocky didn't finish the sentence. Kat watched in horror as he shook violently and the lights in the house flickered on and off. Then suddenly a huge spark came out and Rocky was thrown back, his whole body smoking.

"....oh my god...." was all Kat could manage as she sat there in shock. Then suddenly held up in the sway of the moment she ran over to him and hugged his head to her chest leaning over and kissing him. "I'm so sorry Rocky, I'm so sorry Rocky," she said over and over as Rocky laid in her arms and moaned.

"Tommy, why'd you stop the car? That was almost your old record you could have beaten," the manager said in a harsh voice that came from smoking.

"I have to uh, check something, my beeper went off," Tommy said stretching the truth a little. With that he was off to find some privacy and figure out why he had been called. "Hello? What's up?" he asked into the communicator.

"Some pretty disturbin' news yo, Billy, that's right, Billy wants you to meet him at the hospital with Tanya and Adam. Something similar to what happened to Emily has happened again. Better hurry too," Alpha 6 added in a rushed voice.

"Aw man," Tommy said as he rolled his eyes a little. He had been there right along with Emily the whole night, Kat had shown up too. What was done to Emily was just evil, it wasn't human. He sighed and hoped that this time it wouldn't have been as bad. Rushing out to his own car he sped down the road without a word to his manager and went right to the hospital.

Within minutes he was there and rushing through the halls. What could have them all gathered at the hospital, and on top of that have Billy return from Aquitar too? He had broke a sweat by the time he made it. There laying in the bed was the last person that he'd ever wished to see get hurt by the rapist that was hanging around town.

"Aw, man. This sucks," Tommy said as he walked over to his friends who were all looking at the severely bandaged and bruised victim.

"She had to have surgery done on her face immediately. If it hadn't been for Justin encountering her, then she may have died," Billy said stiffly.

"Where is the little guy anyway?" Tommy said trying to take his mind off the matter.

"He's at the Power Chamber with Dimitria and Alpha. They wanted him to try to contact Zordon," Adam explained to Tommy.

"Zordon?" Tommy asked incredulously, he couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Was it that important that they call Zordon back from the other side of the galaxy? Couldn't the Rangers get through this without bothering him? Tommy just sighed as he thought all of that and held on to the heavily bandaged hand that was laying exposed. "It's all right, we'll get you through this. I promise you."

"I will lend the total amount of assistance that I possibly can to. I owe you that much, Violet," Billy said rubbing his hand along the back of his neck as he walked to the window.

After returning with the cake Kat found Rocky to be up and walking around her room comfortably. She was glad that he had recovered so fast and handed him the cake. Rocky smiled and thanked her again and ate the cake.

"Well, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach...." Kat mumbled.

"What was that?" Rocky asked her not hearing her words since he was leaning out the

window."Nothing...." she replied noticing his cute round butt. Tommy had a nice ass, and boy was it sensitive, but she wondered what Rocky's tush was like. Blushing and walking over to him she gave it a light feel as she mocked running into him.

"Oh, sorry," she said turning red.

"Oh, that's all right happens all the time."

Kat couldn't help but wonder if it did happen to him all the time. If so, how many of those times had been rehearsed like that? She noticed he was getting ready to leave. "The air conditioner was fixed already. You can use it now. I just got shocked because of my mimicking of what you were going to do. Well, I've gotta go now," Rocky said putting down the plate and walking into the hall to retrieve his tools.

"Wait Rocky I wanted to...." Kat said stammering over the words. How could she say them? Tommy would be so upset if he ever found out. But it seemed the only real way she could repay him totally, for getting shocked and all. A war raged through Kat's mind while Rocky came back and looked at her.

"Yes?" he said cocking his head to the side and giving her a goofy grin. Kat looked at him as he did this and stepped forward. She let her actions speak louder than words and gave him a kiss, which broke through his semi shocked lips and began to explore the interior of his mouth. She then stepped away and leaned on the frame to her doorway. "Wow, what a mouth you have there," he said as he gasped for breath.

"That's not all this mouth can do," she said seductively as she pulled on his shirt leading him into her room and shutting the door.

"So what do you want?" Rocky said in a deep guttural voice.

"I, I want to...." she began and started to pull away. What was she doing?! Tommy would never forgive her, or Rocky!

"I said what do you want?" Rocky said as he stood behind her and thrust his hips and groin into her ample behind. Kat bounced up suddenly from the impact and blushed.

"I want to," she said looking over her shoulder at him, "I want to...."

"Yeah yeah? What do you want?" he said getting excited.

"I want to sit down," Kat said calming herself.

"No you don't," Rocky said as he pulled her back up again into his arms. Kat felt secure, but at the same time she felt trapped. The lust in the boy's eyes almost frightened her, but at the same time it turned her on.

"I want to...." she tried again. The words wouldn't come though.

"Yeah? YEAH!?" he began to shout.

"I want to open the door!" she said as she looked and saw that the door had been closed somehow.

"Yeah, yeah. Now what do you really want?" Rocky said again thrusting his groin into her backside again as she finished shutting the door. He kissed along the nape of her neck this time though as well. Kat nearly swooned, her resistance was ebbing away all too fast. She cursed herself for being such a stupid girl and turned to look at him.

"I want, I want...." she began, then reaching for Rocky's pants she unzipped them and thrust her hand inside, "I want this," she said in her best 'do me' voice to Rocky. Rocky just shook his head with a dark smile and began to give out a little laugh of relief.

"Then you'd better shut the door and sit down," he said as he moved away letting her do so.

"Justin, Justin... wake up. You need to go home and get some sleep," Billy said in a soft voice as Justin stirred.

"I don't wanna, I don't have a real home," Justin said sleepily. Billy just blanched, he knew about Justin's situation and all of the others affiliated with the Rangers did too. They didn't talk about it, didn't mention it and left it to the proper authorities. Justin rustled and turned over. Billy walked over to the infirmary and brought back a blanket. He covered Justin and picked him up bringing him to an infirmary examination table. Billy then set him down and turned the heat up a little since it was chilly in there.

"What a mess this whole place has become," he said taking off his glasses and walking back over to the console Justin had been at. For some reason Billy had felt like wearing his glasses while he worked in the Power Chamber. He shrugged silently to himself. Shades of days gone by eh? He thought to himself as he tried to see what Justin had accomplished. "What the hell?" Justin hadn't even been trying to find Zordon at all. He had been trying to pinpoint the location of where the substance had been from. It was obvious the stuff was not from Earth, so he must have jumped the gun and tried to locate where it might have originated. Billy looked on the monitor and viewed a galaxy that was thousands of lightyears away. He increased the strength of the view and found something interesting. A rather large planet had recently exploded. It had sent some kind of projectile into space that was nearly as big as it was. Billy shook his head as he searched around for the projectile.

"Yo Bill man, you find something?" Alpha 6 said as he walked in. Billy didn't even realize the sun had come back up. He figured he must have been working much too hard.

"I don't think so," Billy said switching the monitor off. Billy had the feeling that Dimitria and Alpha 6 were hiding information at times. He figured that this was one of the times, so he might as well do the same. "Justin is asleep in the infirmary, I'm going to teleport him to his bed and then I'm going home. I'll be back later," Billy said as he fiddled with another console and did just that.

"Yo Dimitria," Alpha 6 said as soon as Billy was gone, "Do you think we should tell them what they may be up against now?" he said looking up at her.

"Do you think we should give them a scare this early in the game? What if it is just a hoax? What if-" she tried but Alpha cut her off.

"All right all right already quit yer damn questions. I got a headache," Alpha 6 said as he left the chamber.

"How can you get a headache if you are an automo-" she began but thought better of it and closed her mouth. She knew that her incessant asking of questions could come to bother a person. She also knew that she wasn't totally respected and loved by her new charges. Dimitria sighed within the cold confines of the tube she was in and wondered how Zordon had managed to stay there so long.

It would start out perfectly fine, the people on the planet that had lived there were quite normal and peaceful at first. Then the day would come when a new staple would be introduced to the food supply. It would become a national phenomenon by how easy it was to cultivate without depleting natural resources. Then it would become even more popular because of its amiable taste and smell. the citizens of the world would flock to their markets and make nothing but this certain type of food until the shelves were empty every night.

Nothing happened for a long time after that though. People went on with their business until it was found that a certain aspect of the crime rate was rising. Rapes were happening at a fast and unbelievable fury. Women, Men, it didn't matter they just kept happening over and over, every second of every day all over the world. Men and Women began to mutate, their once beautiful golden like skin turning gray with lesions and sores appearing all over them. These few, yet growing number of individuals were known as the the 'Walking Dead' and were scorned. Their minds set on one thing all the time it was soon realized who were the ones committing the heinous rapes.

The government of the planet decided to put these villains away and send them to an uninhabited island. There they were long forgotten and the world went on in peace eating the familiar staple that they had before. But after a time more people began to come down with the disease that plagued the 'Walking Dead'. Prominent men, scientists, engineers, media figures, even some of the royal family. More and more people were sent to the island until it was nearly overcrowded. The world's sane population was falling under the constant strain of the newly arisen 'Walking Dead'. Then as everyone was watching the current Queen of the planet get married for the second time a pirate television signal was piped in.

It showed one of the 'Walking Dead', but for once it wasn't fornicating or festering. In fact it seemed almost healthy, even though it was obvious that it was one of the diseased. Then it would speak and all would listen.

"We have your scientists among us, we have your engineers, we have your thinkers, and we just wanted to let you know that it's going to be a long time before you get rid of us. I'd also like to let you know that you will all soon join our ranks, for you see the same agent that you have been eating, know to all as the most prominent staple on this planet, is what caused this," the announcer said waving a hand in front of himself. "That is the reason more and more of our kind continue to appear. Oh and don't worry even if most of you stop eating it now, you will still mutate. For you see it takes time for certain individuals to mutate, and for others it is near instantaneous," it said with a stifled laugh. then pointing to a satellite picture it began to speak again.

"This is the 'Seed Maker', we have been studying the effects of the staple and found that other Carbon based units can evolve as we have from this. That is why we have launched 'Seed' into space and prepare to send it to another Carbon based planet. You can't stop us and there is nothing you should do to try. oh, yes I forgot by the way take a look at your new queen...." the announcer said with a ghastly smile.

On the regular transmission it was seen by the whole world that the last survivor of the royal family to not be affected by the ailment that was rampaging the planet had just succumbed. She jumped onto her newly rited husband and began to do the unimaginable to him. It was then that the government interrupted the broadcast with yet another broadcast.

"In light of this news we have found that their is no hope for our world. We are going to blow up everything within this sector of our universe in two minutes. All traces of our civilization will be lost and there will be no threat to the rest of the galaxy for the disease of the 'Walking Dead'. I now turn over the screen to the High Priest Callican...."

It was then that the dream ended instead of going the last two minutes and playing out the destruction of the world. Adam awoke with a start and was covered in sweat. The cold emotionless dark of his room offered him no comfort and he needed to get out. He had to get out to do what was needed to be done. Adam stood up and jumped into some jeans he had left out, then leapt out of his window to a nearby tree branch. Shimmying down the tree he ran down the street to go satiate his hunger.

What baffled the police at the time was that there was no sign of similar traits in the rapings, save for the obvious girth of the member being used. Police were horrified later when they actually found a dead body in a nearby lake that many of the townsfolk had been attending to go swimming at. A cover up was put in place on their findings, but the town's populace suspected something was up when more patrol cars began to appear around that lake. Still no one knew who was doing these atrocious things.

"That is a shame, you can't even go outside without having to worry about being snatched by some pervert," Mr. Stone said as he wiped up a spill the simians he was holding onto had made.

"Really, hey Mr. Stone, why do you hold on to those chimps? Shouldn't you send them to the zoo or something?" asked Justin as he looked at the two who were currently picking bugs out of each other's hair.

"I don't know.... I just feel as if I know them from somewhere...." he said shaking his head and concentrating on looking at the two little devilish creatures.

As he looked at the chimps, Justin decided to go and sit at table away from the three at the counter. His instinct told him that pretty soon some food would be flying, or something just as embarrassing would come to pass. He sipped at his drink and thought about what he had found out last night. That was something that had been working on the back of his mind for a long time. The substance had originated on almost the other side of the universe. Shaking his head in wonder he hardly noticed Billy walking up to him.

"Hey Justin what's up?" asked Billy as he sat down.

"Nothing," Justin replied as he heard a loud crashing noise and the chimps as they began to scream. Sighing and holding in a laugh he knew that he had left the bar at a good time and had avoided what had just happened over there.

"That looks painful, I don't know why he puts up with those chimps," Billy commented lightly. "Anyway, I saw what you were working on. I wanted to ask you, do you have the feeling that Dimitria and Alpha 6 could be withholding information?"

"...." Justin began to speak then just looked up at him. "You know I was thinking that that might be the case. I wish that Zordon was still here, I tried to get in contact with him earlier, but all I got was this loud thumping bass beat in the background and someone screaming 'Hello? Hello?' the whole time."

Billy stifled a grin realizing that Zordon must be throwing a very huge party on Eltar. House music was actually very common in space and was well appreciated by most beings of extra terrestrial background.

"Yeah, Zordon's off on a crash and burn road...." came a voice from behind them. They both turned to see Jason and Tommy, with a very weak looking Emily between the both of them.

"Hi Jason, Tommy and Emily," Billy said with a weak smile seeing Emily's pained face.

"Hi," Emily weakly managed as they set her down on a chair placing a cushion on it just before she actually sat on it. "I'm feeling a little better so I decided to get out of that stuffy hospital."

"Hey Emily, I heard about what happened, I'm truly sorry...." Justin began.

"Oh don't worry, you're too young and sweet to have to face stuff like this right now at your age," she said musingly.

Jason, Tommy, and Billy all shared a secret smile, Justin had been through a lot that a child shouldn't have been through. Justin looked at them and began to beam as well, Emily noticed this and then she looked at everyone else who was trying to keep from grinning like a cat who caught the canary.

"Well, maybe your aren't that young, I'm sure you have a lot of worldly problems that you have to face," Emily said with an odd tone. Before anyone could think of her words more another loud noise happened and then ice cream came raining down on them from the sky.

"Argh, those da- darned chimps!" shouted Mr. Stone as he came running over apologizing. He proceeded to wipe everyone's face with his cleaning rag then and kept on apologizing. With such a show and the lighthearted antics that were going on no one noticed the news flash that showed yet another victim had been added to the list on those who had been raped.

"I don't know what we should do. Billy told me that the substance was alien in origin, and I found a galaxy from where it originated," Justin said trying to add some information.

"Well, then if you know what part of the universe it comes from why not try to find data on that area of the universe?" Tommy said looking out the window. He appeared to be worried.

"Justin said earlier that that part of the universe has been unexplored, even by most of the migrative alien species out there," Adam explained. "We have to sit and look at the facts though...." he trailed off.

"Okay, we have a serial rapist out there that is trying to get to every female it can. His...." Tanya trailed off looking at Justin and deciding to be technical, "semen is a substance which is not of Earth. The last thing seen in some distant galaxy was a large ball of some sorts," she trailed. "Maybe we have an alien that is out there raping people, he came from that planet that got destroyed and used some sort of very large space ship to travel in," she offered.

"That sounds plausible enough, but what happened to the space ship? The alien couldn't just hide the ship in space without someone somewhere picking it up on some type of sophisticated equipment," Justin told the group in a concerned voice.

"Yeah, if he had hidden in space we would have found his ship by now, and if he had hidden on the moon, well Zedd and Rita would be mixed up in this. If he were on Earth already, well perhaps Divatox would have cornered him and had him plant bombs as he went around doing his business...." Tommy said, then turned red as he realized he had made light of the rapings.

"But what if our enemies are scared of this creature?" asked Adam. The room went silent. Anything that could scare all of their enemies was nothing to be made light of.

"Hey, sorry to change the subject but has anyone seen Kat lately?" interjected Tommy.

"I heard from her," Tanya said as she got up and looked out the window as the sun set, "she said that she was feeling sick, she thought that she must have had a bad stomach virus. So she told me that she might not be around for a while."

"Oh, I wonder why she didn't tell me that," Tommy said softly.

"She said she had known that I would tell you, besides she just called a few minutes before everyone arrived anyway," Tanya added reassuringly, even though she had no idea why she was trying to reassure Tommy.

"Well, whatever we do about this situation, we have to work fast. We don't know what this alien is here for, nor do we know what the consequences of these rapes might be," Justin told them on a somber note and gave them all a meaningful look. The room went silent again and they all thought about his words.

Tanya was to leave her home at midnight that night and walk along in the area where most of the rapes had occured. The second she got into any trouble she was to tap her communicator and a beam would transport her and her catch to the Power Chamber. There it would be held in a stasis field and they would try their interogation. In the back of Adam's mind he wished that he could have taken Tanya's place instead of having her go herself.

"It's all right Adam. I'll be fine, I promise you that." she said in her most reasuring voice as she moved to hug him. Once again Adam began to notice her womanly attributes and was slightly embarassed. She didn't notice his problem though and pulled away slowly to make sure that he was okay with her decision.

"Okay Tanya, I won't bother you about it anymore." he had said when he had left the meeting with her. After that it was the thing that was on his mind the most. He didn't want Tanya to be harmed by that, that creature that was out there. That was a sure thing, but if he trailed along behind her he could screw things up. He needed to talk to someone, and he decided that it would be in his intrest to speak to Rocky. He hadn't spoken to him for quite some time, and it seemed to be a perfect idea.

"Hello, Adam! What are you doing here? So late at night too?" Rocky said as he opened the door to his home and let Adam in.

"I just needed a place to talk," he said waving to Mrs. DeSantos, "about PR business..." he added in a whisper.

"Oh, okay! Mom, we're going to my room. Could you handle the rugrats and make sure they don't bother us?" Rocky asked with an iluminating smile.

"Sure, sure Rocky." she said as she began to look about for where the children had gotten to anyway.

"Okay, well here is how it goes...." Adam began. After having told everything about his dilema Adam felt a little better. He looked to Rocky for support and often Rocky came to him for support on matters like these. Taking a good look at Rocky he noticed he was wearing some cotton, lycra like shorts and a t-shirt.

"Look Adam," Rocky said in a deep voice that made Adam start, "I understand how you feel about Tanya. I mean, she is a knockout, I would be protective of her just as much as you are. But you have to understand, that she probably needs to do this. I think that perhaps Tanya wants to assert herself more as a Ranger in general. Let her start to do what is needed to be done. I mean, you know she probably has the same aprehensions that you do..." Rocky said sounding very well spoken. Adam chalked it up to his rapid maturation, and his non-childish behavior on a person to person basis.

"Yeah, she has been worried when I was in danger, you're right." Adam said slumping back.

"Well, hell... if I had a guy like you I'd be worried too." Rocky said laying on the bed next to Adam and running a hand through his hair. "Look at you, you're great." Rocky said smiling and letting his other hand trace Adam's forearm.

Adam was in shock, was Rocky hitting on him? If so, why was he letting Rocky get away with it? They had been friends for such a long time, he didn't want something like this to come between them. Still, as Rocky caressed Adam's face and his arms Adam felt a shiver run up his spine. He didn't know how to react, what is wrong with me, I'm not gay am I? Adam didn't get the response to that thought as he felt something within him stir to life.

"Hmm.... looks like you're as excited about this as I am." Rocky said pointing to Adam's groin. Adam himself looked from his groin to Rocky's noticeable bulge and blushed a deep crimson. He tried to get up and get some air to think about what was going on but found himself pinned under Rocky's weight. Adam strangely enough though didn't feel unsecure or worried in the least bit.

"Rocky, what are you doing?" Adam said as he began to feel feverish and hot.

"What you want me to do. I can see it in your eyes. Besides the best way to consumate a friendship is with a kiss." he said as he leaned in and did just that. Adam shut his eyes and let what was going to happen happen. He needed a release, he wanted a release, he would have taken one if he couldn't have gotten one so easliy. Adam hardly stopped to think about his thoughts, his thoughts of how he would have taken what he wanted even if that meant hurting someone. The lights dimmed almost magically and he layed back in revel of what Rocky was doing to him.

Hugging herself with her arms, she looked around and began to notice that things had gone dead quiet. No nighttime sounds like bugs chirping or animals in the surrounding area. Tanya sensed something with a huge amount of energy was coming. It wasn't looking for anyone in particular. It was just passing by, how she knew this she didn't know. So she jumped to the side and hid in a brush while the figure made it's way down the road.

"What the hell?" she said to herself as the figure drew closer and became clearer to her sight. For one it wasn't the same thing that she had seen in the hospital a few days ago, that was for sure. This being had perfect features and golden skin, resting on it's head was a nice mop of curly brown hair. It's eyes were glowing with a white hot light and in it's hand rested a wicked looking type of gun.

"Who's there?" it said as it stopped right near the brush she had been hiding in.

"I'm here, just don't shoot!" Tanya said as she noticed the gun was pointing straight at her hiding spot. She slowly removed herself from her cover and made her way into the open so that it could see her.

"What are you doing here? Earthling," it said in a condescending tone.

"I'm hunting aliens..." she said with a dark warning in her voice.

"....."

"That's right, I've been sent here to stop you from doing what you are doing and to take you into custody. You might as well give up right now, I'm a Ranger you know...." she said hoping her background might scare it.

"That is no matter to me. I have taken out a few Rangers in this millenia, I might as well add you to my list," it said as it looked off into the night.

"No you wont!" Tanya said as she made the motions and morphed. The Alien was caught off guard but none the less began to start fighting. Tanya flew in at it with a strong flying side kick to the head. It swung it's gun at her and caught her on the side of her leg. Tanya shouted out as she landed on the ground.

"If you stop fighting now I will let you live."

"Why should I stop fighting you? So you can go around and keep on raping women around town?" she said as she began to advance on the golden skinned creature.

"Raping... wait, I think we need to talk about something." it said holding up it's arms in a warding position.

Tanya just stopped and looked at it. "Hold on, you're not here to do any raping?" Tanya said holding her hands out and scrunching up her face in confusion.

"No, I came here to help find and capture the perpatrator who was out there doing just those things. Is there any chance that you were doing the same?" it said in a good natured voice taking the edge out of Tanya's nervouseness.

"Yes, I was here to help try to find it and to stop it as well."

"Well then I think that we should find some place to talk about this then. If it has found someone to bear a child the world could be in dire trouble." at that he went on and began to walk off with Tanya discussing news of what each person knew.

"Kat, are you here?" Tommy said as he knocked on the door and stepped in. She smiled up at him. He grinned and went over kissing her lightly on the head while she lay resting. He took off his coat and then hung it up while he waited for her to sit up and tell him what had been wrong with her lately.

"Tommy, for some reason it feels as if I am on fire or something. Right here... touch." she said as she took his arm and lead him to the area of all her troubles. Tommy let his hand rest on her hot flesh and wondered what the problem could be. There was a nearly scorching amount of heat coming from her belly and it worried him. Then he felt something that made him jump up and reel back.

"Tommy what's wrong?" she said as her eyes widened and looked at him in fear. Tommy just sat there for a while and looked at here.

"Kat how long have we been going out?" he asked in a tentative voice.

"Almost a year now." she said as she held her head with both hands now.

"..." he didn't speak but she was beginging to understand. She could be pregnant and that would mean trouble. Within a minute she was up and looking at herself in the mirror. She didn't look as if she were carrying, and they had been extra careful, but there were always excpetions to the rules. Kat looked back at Tommy and reached for him. He grabbed her up and hugged her gently. Katherine sighed and looked out of the window. She swore she could have seen someone out there. Looking again though the figure was gone and she only saw the pitch of the night.

"Well, what do we do now?" asked Katherine as she looked deep into Tommy's eyes.

"We have to go through with it. I mean you don't want to abort do you?"

"I think it may be a little too late in the game for that Tommy..."

"Oh yeah," Tommy said with a sheepish smile.

"But I do plan on keeping it. Will you be there to help me out?" she said looking at him with concern.

"Oh of course!" he said and hugged her with a large amount of emotion.

"Great, I knew I could count on you." she said and hugged him as she thought of things to come.

"At least five days or so. I don't really know." Tanya said as she walked along with him on the late summer night.

"That's just great what if it has managed to impregnate some girl?" the being said in a gruff voice.

"I don't understand the threat that is going on here. You need to tell me what is going on. And by the way, what is your name?"

The figure stopped and looked at her squarely in the eyes. Tanya blushed and looked back at it with defiance. "My name is Krl Myrl the Bounty Hunter. I have come to your planet from a long ways looking for seed. The one thing that managed to blow up my entire homeworld while I was off taking care of business. It is a bio-engineered thing of destruction from a time in my planet's history that I regret and wish had never happened.

"It's sole purpose is to emplant itself in some young male of any species and to then copulate. After that task is taken care of it will begin to change it's host into a horrible and disfigured being that would wreak havoc on the world as it traveled the land looking to please itself, spread the infection and sire more children. The youth that it would create would have the appearance of their biological mother's but as they grew older the tendencies of their natural father would then kick in causing them to go down the same path their father had."

"Oh my," was all Tanya could managed as Krl took a pause to breath.

"In some cases of being with very high levels of energy around them constantly the child that would be concieved could be bore unto the world only a few days after it's concieving. This is the most dangerous thing, for that child will then mature rapidly and go off in search of finding more ways to reproduce. It's so saddening to think of it."

"Well, I think I know someone who will want to talk to you. Come on lets go." she said as she grabbed his muscular golden arm and activated her communicator. Tanya and Krl teleported into the Power Chamber but much to Tanya's surprise and the rest of those in the chamber Krl materialized in the stasis field that was set up for those who were not welcome in the Chamber but had somehow made it inside.

"What? Krl, what is this?" Tanya said looking at the stasis field.

"No, I think the question should be what is this you are doing?" Rocky said as he held a gun pointed at her menacingly.

"What are you doing Rocky? Are you in trouble?" asked Billy as he looked at the youth that had a dark look in his eyes. Rocky slowly turned and looked at him out of the corner of his eyes. He flashed them a truly frightening smile and they all knew that he was no longer the loveable guy they used to know. Adam bit back tears from having ever trusted this 'Rocky'. He knew that he had given himself to some imposter.

"I'm not in any trouble, as a matter of fact I'm just fine. And don't call me Rocky anymore. I will be known as Seed only from now on." Rocky said as his voice began to deepen and sound like many voices speaking at once. Justin and the Alien looked up at once as he said that and they both looked as if they knew what he was talking about.

"So, you did in fact find a host. It was you who did all of the raping and all of the terrorizing." commented the incarcerated alien as it tried to find a way out of the stasis field. "You lead everyone to believe that you had not made it to the planet. But in fact you circled the solar system and made a do or die landing."

"Brilliant Krl, and you were the one who I fooled the most. I may not have had totally sentient ability when I was in my true form but as I took on this form I began to be able to think more for myself. I realized that instead of merely spreading the 'Walking dead' disease that I could easily manipulate things from this body and become ruler supreme."

"You didn't count on the galactic federal imposing death warrant officers though did you? We saw what happened on your planet of origin, we received that last broadcast as a matter of fact. We tracked you for when you had all of your power you were so large it was hard to miss you. And now, you walk like the living..."

"Wait, I don't understand, what is really going on here?" Tanya said looking to Billy who had hung his head with a sort of defeated look.

"Don't you understand anything bitch?" Seed spat at her with a large amount of spite.

"Don't talk to Tanya like that!" Adam said as he sat up and tensed trying to sever his bonds.

"Oh, you should be one so quick to talk. Tanya, did you know that your so-called boyfriend slept with this vessel?" Seed said triumphantly.

Tanya stopped moving and looked from Seed to Adam with a genuine curiosity. Adam blushed and Seed sauntered over to the viewing monitor typing something in. In a few seconds an image appeared on the screen causing a lot of things to pass by on the screen. Seed explained what the images were when they saw them come up.

"This is my home world, a great place isn't it?" he said as he looked at a small life supporting planet that spun on a non-tilted axis. "Then along comes the scientific breakthrough of the century. A non expendable food that tasted excellent and went wonderfully with everything." he said as an image of a sort of jelloish food appeared. "After a time people began to loose their minds. They became known as the walking dead. Their once golden skin turning rotted and scaled. Their thoughts on nothing but the carnal pleasures that come from being human." Seed commented as he showed a picture of one of the 'Walking Dead'.

Tanya sat up quickly and nearly screamed it was the same image that she had seen before the other day when she was in the hospital looking through the samples.

"These beings though were not all that stupid it seems since they had the ability to think and create me!" he said smiling as he showed a clip of a giant white ball in space that orbited the planet and was obscured by sophisticated radar devices. "After a short time statistics said that the majority of the planet had ingested the food which would eventually change them into that which my creators had become. They pirated their way onto the airways and told the world this just as the last true heir of the Planet's Royal House succumbed to the disease." he then clicked a button and showed the queen changing. "Moments later the secret government also pirated a message onto the airways saying that they intended to destroy the world before the disease could leap planets." Seed showed a picture of the planet blowing up. "Still they didn't count on me so I escaped into the dark confines of space, a few days short of having my total allotment of AI installed."

Krl tried the stasis field again and found that it was still properly working. He reeled back in pain finding that Seed had turned the negative aspects of the field on. Seed merely looked at him and laughed. "In space I ran into this poor excuse for a galactic officer. We were fighting for what seemed and may have been eons, then I finally made it to earth and took on the form of this young man."

"Then, why..." Tanya began and looked at Adam with a questioning look. Adam just blushed.

"Oh this?" he said as he flicked a switch and a movie began to play on screen. In seconds the details of Adam and Seed's night of passion had been exposed to Tanya who shut her eyes to keep the image out. "I just wanted to have a little fun, and also have my backup plan."

"Backup plan?" Billy said looking up realizing that Justin was also staring at the screen.

"Oh yes, do you think that I would be so foolish as to try to do this without a backup plan? I'm not going to tell you what it is right now though. I'm not stupid. It will become evident one day if things don't turn out correctly."

"You shall die fool." Krl growled as he struggled in the stasis field that resulted in no success.

"If I die you must remember, Rocky dies too." Seed said as he made a mock sad face and held his hands on his cheeks. "And who wants poor innocent Rocky to die?"

"Damn you!" Justin said as he tried to spit at Seed.

"Justin..." Tanya tried to console him.

"Ok, that's it. I'm tired of this. Time to break open a can... Yo Yo Yo!" Alpha 6 said as he jumped out into the open and fired a tranquilizer at Seed. "You may be an alien but you are still in Rocky's body, and that means you can fall to human sedatives." Everyone cheered as Alpha undid most of what Seed had done in a few moments.

"Oh, poor Rocky." Tanya said looking at him.

Adam sat there and just held his hands at his side. He tried to force the image out of his mind of him having done what he did with an alien visitor whose sole purpose was to procreate. Yet, the images were too strong for him to ignore and he just let them replay over and over in his mind.

"Adam, it's all right. I'm sure Tanya won't hate you. Seed had probably put some type of pheromones in effect to misguide your judgement." Billy said as he laid a reassuring hand on Adam's shoulder. Adam wasn't so sure though. He had been a friend to Rocky for quite some time now. Could he have felt feelings for him?

"Well, now we have to get Demetria back and try to find a way to extricate seed from Rocky's body." Justin said as he began going to the consoles and working on trying to bring Demetria back.

"I'll put him on the lab table Yo." Alpha said as he managed to lift Rocky's body by himself and placed him on the table. Billy and Alpha and Krl went to work on trying to help Rocky while Justin and Adam, who had now jolted out of his shock, began to help try to find Demetria.

"I think I'll go and try to find out if more women were raped before this. We don't need any little Seeds running around." Tanya said in a shaking voice and teleported out. Adam watched her leave from the corner of his eye and sighed.

Rocky had finally gotten possession of his body back from Seed. With the combined efforts of Krl and Billy and Justin he had made a spectacular recovery. Rocky, feeling guilty for the things that the parasite in his body had done bought a round of drinks at the Juice Bar with his own hard earned cash. Everyone watched him drink them all down before they got to enjoy anything as well.

Adam had finally been able to talk to Tanya about what had happened to him while he had went to Rocky's house. As it seemed, things weren't all in Seeds control like he had intoned that night. Adam and Rocky had been close friends for a long time and that bond had created a sort of love between them that had blossomed that night correctly. Seed just took advantage of the situation and made it seem unnatural in origin.

Tanya understanding that it would have happened one of these days began to become more intrigued and wanted to actually watch or participate if it ever happened again. Rocky at the slightest mention of sex was all over the chance, but Adam shied away. Tanya and Adams relationship seemed to grow stronger from that encounter. She felt that there was something that was strange about Adam though, for the time being she couldn't put her finger on the situation and decided that she had best worry about it later.

Lastly, Tommy and Katherine told everyone that she had become pregnant and that she knew that Tommy was the father. Rocky looked at her in a strange way when she said this and she blushed looking away. No other mention of Seeds little affair with her had been mentioned.

As Demetria sat in her dimensional chamber tube she wondered to herself, what if the Seed creature had succeeded in impregnating someone? What if its backup plan was still in effect? She pondered this and the other changes that could possibly arise to challenge her team. But she had faith in them all, because they were the Mighty Morphin Turbo Rangers.
