"Alright, now we go down. There's a spot if you just go straight down, where you'll come out of the water. Brace yourself, gravity is weird there. We're gonna fall out of the water into a cave. Not a big fall, like skipping a couple steps."
That was a bit of an understatement. It was more than that but better than jumping down here had been. Kim gave her a moment and then dove under water and swam down to the cave. Hopefully the other Zordon had already given hers and Alpha a heads up they were coming. She didn't want to see the other girl get thrown around by a little robot after jumping into a chasm with her.
Going to fall... out of the bottom of the water.... Great.
She took a breath, more to steady herself than from concern that she'd drown, then she dived under as well, following the other Ranger, wishing she could be doing this in her Zord.....
She made sure the other was following her through the water and then pushed herself out into the cave, being used to the fall after so many times that she manages to catch herself and move for Trini.
And then motioned for her to follow, the front of her helmet retracting as she took her to the ship.
"Zordon, Alpha?"
From further in the ship, in the command room, a couple voices can be heard.
"Master Kimberly, we received a communication-"
The command room was large, probably about the size of the command center, and Trini would get to see a robot with a small familiarity to her Alpha puttering away in there, while a face could be seen on the wall like an old pin-board toy.
Trini followed, still not as comfortable as she could be, but so long as there were no more drops, she was confidant that she could handle anything.
And she stayed confidant... until she saw.... ALPHA? ZORDON? She was so glad she was wearing the helmet, because she tried very hard to always be polite, but... They were not at all what she expected. She kept just behind the other Ranger, waiting to be addressed while she bit back every remark she knew better than to make, wishing Kim... her Kim... was there. Or Zack. Somehow, she had a feeling Zack would handle this the best of all of them.
omg me and my friend spent an hours after the movie giggling about it
At least now she could see why Kim had reacted as she did to Trini's Alpha and Zordon, this was what she'd gotten accustomed to.
"Yeah, I know. Been there, done that. Zordon, Alpha, this is Trini."
The face in the wall moved to the side of the room they were on, getting a better look at Trini, even if she remained morphed. For a moment, he might have seemed critical.
"Welcome, Trini. Your realities, Zordon contacted us. Alpha has already begun searching for what might have cause this merge in realities."
My dad and I were grumbling about it for hours after, lol
She nodded and took off her helmet, shaking her hair free. "I'm sure both Billys would be happy to help." Two of Billy, that was terrifying and wonderful. What couldn't they build, together?
a part of me loved it because it was so ridiculous XD
"Master Billy was the one to locate the Zeo crystal." Alpha pointed out. He'd spent so much time in the command room studying what information had been left.
Kim watched the three of them quietly, thinking for a moment how Billy had gotten himself into detention, and a small wave of concern washed over her.
"Your Billy doesn't have a tendency to blow things up, does he?" Maybe her Billy didn't, really. An accident or two involving dynamite, and she still wondered by it had been in his lunch box, but that wasn't a lot?
"As in accidentaly in his lab? Rarely. He believes strongly in taking proper safety precautions." She stopped. The question had been asked for a reason. "Your version of Billy blows things up?"
"Only a couple times. That I know of. Three if you count the mine? He blew up his lunchbox and his locker. In school. Both times." As long as they didn't provide him dynamite, they should be fine.
"He really is smart though, he told us he remembers everything so a lot of time won't be wasted with repeat research."
"....... His.... locker? And his lunch box?" She presumed the mine had a reason. Right? It sounded like their Billy needed her Billy's help. Desperately. Their Billy sounded... a bit like her uncle. Uh oh.
"That's good, hopefully they can work well together."
Probably? She hadn't asked and a part of her really didn't want to know. And still doesn't. Some things just didn't need answers even if the curiosity always remained.
"Yeah, I'm sure they could. Billy should be home this time of day, we can give him a call and have him meet us somewhere whenever we're ready."
She nodded. "I can page Billy... our Billy... on the communicator. He'll teleport anywhere we need him to. But maybe they'll want to work in his lab?" Unless Billy would rather not have it blown up....?
"His lab?" Okay, the other Billy had a lab. They could work with that. That would be great, actually.
"Uh, sure. Our Billy just kind of works in his basement it seems so that might be best. My phone gets no signal down here though so I'll give him a call once we get back up to the mine."
She could have Alpha and Zordon pass the message but contacting him with the power coin, who knew who he was around right now.
She turned to the pin wall... so hard to see that is Zordon. "Is there anything we should know before we leave to contact them?" she asked. "I know Billy will be able to contact our Zordon from the lab without a problem if more information needs to be passed to them while they work..."
"It's entirely possible that with the merging of our two realities, the threats we face individually may combine their skills. You will want your team to be more careful than usual." Zordon answered and then was promptly cut off by Alpha, who earned a slightly irritated look.
"Perhaps if your Billy could assist in creating a method of communication that will function down here as well, we can coordinate our efforts more efficiently."
She nodded to Zordon. "If your Rita is anything like ours, you haven't seen the last of her. Of course, I doubt two Ritas could work together for long, but if they're effective enough, they wouldn't have to."
Then Trini looked to Alpha and nodded again. "I'm sure Billy could. He did some amazing things with our communicators. I know he'd be happy to share with other Rangers."
"She'll probably have her coin with her if she comes back. And maybe crashing back onto the planet will kill her again, save us some trouble." Kim commented. "We can just take the coin from her then."
"You should not underestimate her. With the power our Rita possesses, she could pose a terrible threat to you and your reality. She's very capable of working with someone when the situation suits her." Zordon warned, having learned his lesson about every underestimating or doubting Rita.
"That may be a difference between them, then, and perhaps one we can use. But trust me, we're not in the habit of underestimating Rita or her goons. There were puttis on the cliff just before I met this Kimberly. At least one of the Ritas is actively looking for a way to turn this to advantage. But she made a mistake."
She reached out and took Kim's hand and held it.
"Because this? This is a bond that won't be broken. In any and every universe."
Kim blinked, looking down at their hands and then grinned, giving a light squeeze.
"And we're not going to underestimate ours. We got way too close to losing last time, we won't cut it that close again." Plus, they could all morph now, they knew how to form the Megazord. And they had hidden the Zeo Crystal again.
"We can always swing by your Angel Grove and give your Rita two teams to contend with."
"Before yours has a chance to recover," she said, nodding. "That makes a lot of sense. We work as a team before they have a chance to do the same.Two megazords and the Dragonzord? Rita won't know what hit her." She grinned.
"That's a sound tactic." Alpha commented. "Although, if your team comes here, it may be wise to spend time in the Pit and familiarize with what this Angel Grove is threatened by."
Kim could definitely get on board with dealing with another Rita and getting her out of the picture. Maybe her Angel Grove would have to deal with her again, but for now sparing another one from having to continue dealing felt like a good trade,
"The Pit?" she asked. but she nodded. "Any information will be useful, we'll share all we know as well."
She looked to Zordon. "We both clearly mean something different when we speak of Goldar, and Kim didn't know who Scorpina is. There may be much for you and our version of you to share in the way of relevant information."
"It's where we were sent to train after we found the ship." Kim explained. "In the hopes we would learn to morph sooner. It didn't really work as planned but we got some serious experience fighting putties and working together."
Zordon would have nodded but being a face on a wall made that difficult to express.
"Yes. Our Goldar is formed from gold, created by Rita to tear the Zeo crystal from the earth. She is also capable of treating Goldar in a similar manner as the Megazord."
"Without her coin, pretty sure the worst she could throw at us would be putties." Kim added.
"Goldar is one of our Rita's usual henchmen. Him and Scorpina are often what follow puttis before the monster of the week shows up. Sometimes after. If Goldar and putties are all yours has to throw at you, we have a decent shot."
She looked at Kim. "But I don't understand, training to morph sooner? Zordon wasn't able to connect you to the Morphing Grid?"
"That's not how things work for us, unfortunately. We had to learn how to connect to each other to connect to the Morphin Grid and earn our armor. The grid doesn't just open to anyone."
Kim gave a nod towards the platforms in the middle of the control room, five spots. One of each ranger.
