This is a canon/alternative universe story that I wrote for the episode "Hawaii Zeo" from the Power Rangers Zeo season. I wrote this because I felt the episode should have focused more on the relationship that Adam and Tanya shared with one another. This is just simply my own canon of how I felt the way the episode could have gone.

I have to give credit to "Morphylogeny site for spelling out the fight scenes & the ranger unlimited site for a great synopsis of the episode.

"Fight"

Once again after being attacked by the machine empire Tommy, Jason, Rocky, Kat, Tanya and I were off to the rescue this time our battle had taken us to remote field in the desert.

"Jason," Tommy called.

I glanced over at Tommy wondering why he was calling out to Jason as I jump kicked two on-coming cogs. I ducked missing an attack from one cog; I glanced over in Jason's direction he saw he was getting pounded by a group of cogs. This was so strange, Jason was one of the strongest fighters I had ever come across and he usually never had any trouble with these guys before so I didn't understand why he was losing to the cogs.

"What's wrong?" Tommy called over to Jason.

He too must have noticed he obvious struggle against the cogs.

Jason threw a cog away ducking a blow from another.

"I don't know!" he replied. He continued struggling to fight them off but the cogs quickly overpowered him. One cog grabbed his arm and another grabbing his other they both attacked him simultaneously kneeing him in the stomach.

"I'm weakening!" he shouted.

I saw Tommy elbow a cog and charge towards Jason.

"Hang on!" he shouted.

But Tommy is quickly thwarted by a group of cogs. They continued holding him back. All the rest of us could do was watch and continue fighting the reminding cogs at hand.

"Jason!" Tommy yelled struggling to free himself from their grasp.

Jason collapsed to the ground with a groan, clutching his chest, and then cogs disappeared just as quickly as they appeared. Suddenly Prince Gasket appeared with his mechanical wife Archerina they both, leering down at our fallen comrade.

"Your do-gooder days are over, Gold Ranger!" he bellowed.

"Surrender your powers to me or be destroyed." He said aiming his sword at Jason's neck.

"Never, Prince Gasket!" Jason replied with valor.

Just as I was getting ready to make my way over to Jason I stopped dead in my tracks peering at the two new but familiar visitors that entered the chaos.

Sprocket and his mechanical assistant Klank teleported onto the scene.

"Ah! What's up?" Sprocket said.

Prince Gasket is who clearly annoyed clenched his fist shouting. "Can't you see I'm busy right now?"

"Calm down, big brother," Sprocket said. "Just thought you might like to know that Dad's looking for you."

"What did you tell him?" Prince Gasket inquired as he and his wife strode over to his little brother.

"Nothing, honest!" Sprocket stumbled. "I came to warn you," he sputtered.

Jason slowly stood to his feet, clutching his stomach. He had seized sibling dispute as an opportunity to get away.

We all hurried over to our fallen comrade, helping him back to his feet. I peered ahead and to my absolute surprise Gasket and the others didn't seem to notice at all.

"Don't you lie to me!" Gasket warned shaking a fist.

"No, I wouldn't!" Sprocket insisted backing away from his elder brother.

"Where's father?"

"Don't know," Sprocket said. "But you're gonna get it!" he went on taunting Gasket.

Jason collapsed to his feet.

"Guys I think we should get him out here like right now," Tommy said lifting Jason to his feet.

Jason stood his feet staggering from side to side.

"Come on let's get you out of here," Rocky said grabbing onto Jason's other arm.

"We need to let them be!" Tanya said glancing back at the squabbling siblings.

We all grab onto our zeonizer and teleporting back the power chamber leaving the bickering siblings to finish arguing amongst themselves.

As I was sitting my Green Zeo Ranger helmet I heard something hit the ground with a loud thud. I turned trying to figure out the source of the noise and saw Jason demorphed on his hands and knees. Rocky and Tommy rushing over to him. He was struggling to stand for some reason even with their aid. I didn't understand what was wrong with Jason. He was just fine the other day, what could be draining his strength? There were plenty of moments that myself and the others rangers felt drained during battles but never to the extent like Jason.

"Are you okay, Jason?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah," Jason said unsteadily. "Um, I'm . . . I'm just a little dizzy. I've been working out really hard lately. I'm . . . I'm fine. I'm sure that's it.

"What happened to you?" Jason asked pointing at Tommy's face.

That was a good question I too had been wondering why Tommy had a bandage on his face.

Tommy touched his cheek. "Oh, oh, this? Ah, no big deal, man. I just fell out of bed this morning reaching for the alarm clock. I'm all right." he stammered.

That certainly didn't seemed like a plausible explanation to me, but whatever he clearly was caught off by Jason's inquiry and knowing Tommy he probably just said the first thing that came to his mind.

He patted Jason's back. "I'm just worried about you, man."

I stepped up to Zordan I really wanted to know what could be causing Jason's weaken in battle.

"Zordon, what do you think?" I asked.

"It is entirely possible that Jason's physical exhaustion has caused his powers to become temporarily intermittent. Alpha will have to run a complete battery of tests on Jason to be certain," our mentor said.

"We should get started on these tests right away!" Alpha said making his way over to Jason.

He nodded. "Please come with me," Alpha said gesturing for him to follow.

Jason sucked in a deep breathe peering at us. He seemed worried, I couldn't blame him I would feel the same way too, if I were in his shoes.

"Jason, everything is going to be alright," Kat said patting his back.

"You'll be fine," Tanya asked.

"Everything will be alright, buddy," Tommy said with a smile.

"Thanks guys," he said making his way over to Alpha.

We all watched as the two of them disappear behind the steel doors of the power chamber's entrance.
