A few days later, Christina was working with Zordon at the command center.
"Christina, we have worked on your control of your abilities for about
a week now. You have sufficiently brought them to a control. Now, we must
work on discovering the full range of your powers," Zordon said to
her.
"I have more powers than what I already know about?"
"Perhaps so. I believe you may be able to project holographic images
using your telepathic powers."
"Freaky. How do I test for it?"
"Concentrate on an empty spot, and attempt to visualize something
there." She did so, and a hazy, flickering image of Billy appeared.
She concentrated harder, and the image stabilized and grew clearer. Zordon
smiled at her choice of subject.
"Very good," he congratulated
her. "For the next power test, I will have to contact Jason and Tommy."
He did so, and they agreed to come. They arrived, and Zordon explained,
"I need your help in testing for one of Christina's powers. I believe
that she may be able to call upon a Circle of Protection, protecting that
person from outside harm. Tommy, will you agree to help?"
"What do I have to do?" he asked.
"Let Christina call a Circle of Protection on you."
"What do you need me for, Zordon?" Jason asked.
"I need you to be the outside harm. I know that if the circle is ineffective,
you will not actually harm Tommy. Will you agree?"
"We agree."
"Christina, call upon the Circle of Protection for the Green Ranger."
"Circle of Protection - Green!" she called. There was a slight
electric crackle in the air.
"Jason, attack Tommy," Zordon instructed. The two slowly circled
in the time-honored way of martial artists. Suddenly, Jason's arm shot
out, and was deflected by an unseen force. Tommy had not moved. Jason tried
again, and was again deflected.
"I think the Circle works," Jason volunteered.
"Yes, I believe it does. Christina, cancel the spell."
"Green Circle - Inert!" she called. Jason comradely
hit Tommy's
arm, and there was no interference.
"Christina, you are one powerful
person. It's a good thing Lord Zedd can't take you over," Tommy told
her, rubbing his arm.
"Zordon, do you need us anymore?" Jason asked.
"No, you and Tommy may go, and you may also, Christina." They
transported out of the command center.
"Hey, guys, I'll catch you later.
My class starts in fifteen, and it's not good form for the instructor to be
late." Jason grinned, thumping Tommy's arm.
"All right, man, we still on for that Mortal Kombat tourney
tonight?" Tommy asked.
"You bet." Jason raised his hand in a half-wave, then
nodded to Christina. "Be careful, Christina. Maybe get Tommy to show
you some basic fight moves. Zedd's tricky; now that he knows magic won't
work on you, he might resort to brute force."
She nodded in acknowledgement. "You be careful, too,
Jason." She shielded her eyes with her hands, looking at the sky. "I
can't shake the feeling that something's about to happen."
