Tommy struggled to his feet. His head was still spinning. He rushed at Goldar again who just swatted him away. He fell back into Bulk who kept him from hitting the floor.
Bulk set him on the floor before getting in front of him. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"
Goldar laughed. "You? You are going to challenge me?" He laughed again.
"Bulk don't." Tommy said attempting to push himself off of the floor but he was starting to feel tired. "I've got it." It was a lie but he had become a good liar since becoming a Power Ranger. He lied to his parents about his whereabouts and where the cuts and bruises came from. He lied to Zordon about how he felt power wise in order to fight even when he felt like he was going to fall flat on his face. He had to lie now because there was no way he was going to let Bulk take on Goldar.
Goldar started laughing again. "You? You have no powers. I've been waiting for this opportunity. You will pay Green Ranger." He raised his sword high. Tommy tried to rush Goldar when Skull pushed him away. Tommy pulled Bulk at the same time and all three fell to the floor. The blast from the sword sailed past them and made a hole in the wall. Goldar laughed and prepared the sword to blast again. Instead of sending another blast he teleported away.
"Skull," Tommy asked, "could you please make sure no one's hurt?"
"I would but you are laying on my legs."
"Sorry," Tommy said as he struggled to his feet. Bulk grabbed onto his arm to keep him steady. "Where'd Goldar go?"
"Don't know," Skull said, "he disappeared in a flash."
Tommy started to walk forward but his head hurt and everything started to go black.
"Go get Ernie," Bulk said to Skull as he set Tommy down on the floor.
Skull nodded and started to leave the bathroom when he saw the monster they had seen earlier tearing up the Youth Center. Thankfully he didn't appear to be attacking any of the people. He was just destroying the gym equipment. He went back to Bulk.
"Why didn't you get Ernie?" Bulk demanded.
"That monster's still there," Skull said. "What are we going to do Bulkie?"
"I don't know," Bulk said as he grabbed paper towels out of the dispenser. He pushed it against Tommy's head, which was still bleeding. "I'm surprised the other Rangers aren't here."
"Who do you think the others are?" Skull asked.
"Don't know," Bulk said, "stay with Tommy I'll be back," he said and then walked out of the bathroom. He found the same scene as Skull did. "Hey!" He yelled.
The monster turned his attention towards Bulk.
"You are not the Green Ranger," the monster said.
"Don't know where he is," Bulk lied, "but I'm not gonna let you destroy the Youth Center." He knew what he was doing was stupid but he was trying to divert the monster's attention in hopes that the others could leave.
"You think you can stop me?" The monster taunted. "The Green Ranger couldn't even stop me. You are nothing but a human."
"Yeah," Bulk said, "but you are outnumbered."
The monster laughed again as he looked around at the teens that were crouched underneath tables and behind the juice bar. "You think they can help you?"
"Yeah I do," he was bluffing and he hoped the monster couldn't tell.
Richie came up from behind the juice bar with one of the stools and hit the monster but all that did was infuriate the monster. He fired a blast at Richie but the teen moved out of the way.
A couple of teens that Bulk didn't really know slammed into the monster knocking him off balance.
The monster stood up and was about to fire at the group when he was gone in a flash of light.
"Did we just win?" A girl asked as she got out from under the table.
"I don't think so," Ernie said as he surveyed the damage. "Is anyone hurt?"
"Tommy got caught in a blast earlier," Bulk said.
Ernie nodded. "I'll go check on him.
A few teens made a run for the doors.
"No!" A voice yelled. "We are stuck in here!"
Ernie went over to the doors and tried to push the doors but they wouldn't budge. "Come on," he said to the frightened teens, "you can go out the door in the back." He led them to the door in the storage room. He couldn't open the door either.
They were trapped.
