Tommy Oliver stood in the Power Chamber awaiting the results from the latest bio scan. It was becoming routine for him. Zordon would charge his powers; they would wait a few days, and then scan his powers.
There was a ding. "Zordon the results are in," Alpha announced. He fed the information to Zordon.
Tommy clenched and unclenched his fists. He was always nervous before Zordon gave him the results.
"I'M SORRY TOMMY BUT THE RESULTS HAVE COME BACK NEGATIVE."
Tommy closed his eyes for a moment. "What does that mean Zordon?" Usually there was a bit more information than that.
"IT MEANS THAT THE POWERS I GAVE YOU TWO DAYS AGO ARE GONE. YOUR POWERS ARE DEPLETING FASTER THEN I CAN RESTORE THEM. YOU MAY ONLY HAVE ENOUGH POWER FOR A COUPLE OF FIGHTS. I'M SORRY TOMMY."
The alarms started to go off. Zordon, Alpha, and Tommy turned their attention back to the viewing globe. A squadron of putties was in the park.
"ALPHA CONTACT THE OTHER RANGERS," Zordon instructed.
"I can handle them Zordon," Tommy said. "The others are at the planetarium." He didn't mention that that was where he was supposed to be. He had faked being sick. His mother didn't need much to convince her that he was sick.
Zordon nodded and teleported Tommy to the park. He was glad that there were no civilians. Even though he was sure this was a trap, he was ready for the challenge.
He took on the putties and quickly defeated them. It was easy to defeat them when you knew where there weakness was. The rest were gone in a flash of light.
Tommy looked around to make sure there were no lingering surprises in the park. He didn't see any. He held up his hand to see what time it was when he heard a buzzing noise. Then he was hit in the back with a blast from behind. He arched his back in pain before turning around panting.
"Well Thomas," Lord Zedd said leaning down to get a better look at him. "It seems you have lost." He raised his staff.
"No!" Tommy yelled sitting up. He looked around in confusion. He had no idea where he was.
"Is everything all right in here?" Jacob Scott asked sticking his head in the room.
That's when Tommy realized he was in Jason's guestroom. "Just a nightmare," he answered, "I'm okay now."
Jacob nodded before leaving the room.
Tommy lay back in bed. He forgot that he was staying at the Scott's while his parents were at a banking convention. The nightmare had seemed so real. The scene with the putties had happened two days ago but why did he see Zedd? He wasn't sure he wanted to know.
