"I know nothing feels all right at the moment, Kimberly," Billy told her gently. "But we can still fight this. When it's all over, we've heard from multiple sources that we'll get our worlds back."

"That won't be a problem, though," he answered, lifting the morpher off his belt for her to see. "Morphers are kept in the armory. All we need to do is go down there and obtain yours. Stacy used to confiscate them, but I'm finally allowed to carry mine full time."

Ah---yes, the Ranger issue. He had some rule-breaking to explain, and fast. "That actually brings me to another problem that's happened here. Well...the secret identity rule was broken. Everyone knows I'm a Ranger, and once they hear you know me they'll likely deduce that you're one as well."
