Notes: I skip ahead in this chapter. In my Power Ranger fics I always right Tommy having a little brother named Cory. In this fic there is no Cory (It would have made things way too complicated) and no David.
Tommy looked around the new Power Chamber. His eyes lingered on old Ranger costumes on the side of the room. He supposed it was good to have that memory. Then he stopped. They were missing one.
"Zordon?" Tommy asked looking at his mentor. "Where is the White Ranger suit?"
"THE PAST HAD TO BE REWRITTEN. AS FAR AS THE WORLD KNOWS, THERE WAS NO WHITE OR GREEN RANGERS. I AM SORRY TOMMY."
"But we can fix this right when I become a Zeo Ranger."
"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BECOME A ZEO RANGER. I CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO AT YOUR PRESENT AGE. BILLY I ASK THAT YOU TAKE THE ZEO CRYSTAL THAT WAS TOMMY'S."
Billy looked at Zordon uncertainly before looking at Tommy who had a scowl on his face and did not look one bit happy.
Tommy stood aside while the others took their Zeo morphers. Things just kept getting worse today. He didn't return to age seventeen and he couldn't be a Power Ranger. He had vowed to himself that what happened when he was Green Ranger wouldn't happen again. But now with the news that he had never been the Green Ranger in this new future, he guessed that promise didn't matter anymore. He felt jealousy listening to Zordon talk about the power they would have.
He watched as Kat became Zeo Ranger 1 Pink, Tanya became Zeo Ranger 2 Yellow, Rocky became Zeo Ranger 3 Blue, Adam became Zeo Ranger 4 Green, and Billy became Zeo Ranger 5 Red. His insides tightened when he saw Adam become Zeo Ranger Green. Billy had looked over at him and he forced a smile.
The Rangers teleported down to Angel Grove to fight the newest threat and Tommy was left in the Power Chamber already feeling forgotten.
"TOMMY I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN QUITE A SHOCK FOR YOU AND I KNOW YOU MUST HAVE MANY QUESTIONS."
"You said that no one would know I had been the Green and White Rangers but the others remember me."
Zordon seemed to hesitate. "THEY REMEMBER YOU BECAUSE YOU STILL HAVE A CONNECTION TO THE ZEO CRYSTAL EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN NOT BE A ZEO RANGER. I'M AFRAID THAT TRINI, ZACK, JASON AND KIMBERLY WILL NOT REMEMBER YOU. AISHA WILL REMEMBER YOU BECAUSE SHE ALSO IS CONNECTED TO THE ZEO CRYSTAL. YOU BOTH WENT ON ZEO QUESTS."
Tommy let everything sink in. None of the original team except Billy would remember him? Not even his girlfriend or his best friend would remember him? He barely held back the tears.
"TOMMY I AM SO SORRY THINGS TURNED OUT THIS WAY. IF THERE WAS ANYTHING I COULD DO TO CHANGE IT I WOULD. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?"
"Could you send me home?" He asked with a sigh. If there was nothing he could do here, he supposed he should go home before his parents started worrying.
"OF COURSE TOMMY." Zordon said and teleported him away.
When he landed he found himself at his home in Angel Grove. Zordon had to be wrong. He hadn't come to Angel Grove until he was in high school.
"Hello Tommy." A voice called. He turned to see his next-door neighbor, Andrea Dietzen, said coming out of her house. "Did you forget your house key again?"
Tommy pulled a key chain out of his pocket. "No." He said shaking his head. He walked up to his door and unlocked it. He stepped in. Everything looked the same as he left it. Even the breakfast dishes they hadn't finished washing that morning.
Well at least that didn't change. Tommy thought as he went into the kitchen for a glass of water.
