I hope so. Jason said sarcastically as he walked out the door. He got in his jeep and drove to school. Jason went directly to his locker. He was getting his books. Tommy and Zack saw Jason as they were coming down the stairs.

Hey there's Jason let's go talk to him. Zack suggested. Tommy and Zack went over to

Jason's locker.

Yo J Man what's up Zack said. trying to get a smile out of Jason. Jason didn't even crack a smile. He kept looking in his locker. Zack frowned at Tommy.

Hey bro I called you last night what happened? Tommy asked concerned about his best friend. The school bell rung. Jason looked at Tommy and then at Zack He turned and walked off to his class.

What's wrong him? Tommy asked.

I don't know what it is because this isn't like Jason. Zack said with a look of concern on his face.

After school in the Youth Center. Jason was hitting the punching bag as hard as he could taking out his frustrations out on the bag. Tommy,Kim,Zack,Trini, and Billy were watching him.

He looks angry. Billy said.

Do you think it's a spell? Kim asked.

It could be Zedd's work. Tommy said. agreeing with Kim.

Do you think we should talk to him? Trini asked.

We tried that earlier but he ignored us and walked away. Zack said.

Maybe we should give him some time alone. Kim suggested

We can't forget that he's one of us too. Billy said.

The communicators went off. What's up Zordon? Tommy asked.

Man this guy is tough. Billy said.

We need more power. Trini said.

Are you sure you want to do this Jason? Zordon asked.

Yeah I'm sure. Jason answered. It's Morphin Time! Jason shouted. Tyrannosaurus.

Jason showed up where the others were.

Jason didn't speak. He ran past and went head on with Rhinoblaster.

They went hand for foot. Jason used his Power Sword to destroy Rhinoblaster's horns.

Ahhhhh my horns. Rhinoblaster screamed in pain.

Aye yi yi yi yi I thin Im going to cry. Alpha 5 said frantically pressing the button to transfer Jason to the youth center.

Jason went to the youth center to have a drink. No more Ranger duty and No more Tommy. Jason said to himself.

The Rangers teleported to the Command Center.

Rangers I have some bad news to share with you.

Is it about Jason? Tommy asked.

Yes. Zordon answered. He left a note for you all to read.

Alpha 5 handed Tommy the letter.Tommy began to read it out loud.

Dear Bertayers I meant Rangers, I tried to give you my best but you all turned your backs on me and wanted Tommy to be the leader. My status was put on the line because of you all. I trusted you all and you went behind my back.In shorter words I hope you're happy with Tommy as your leader, because I quit the team and I never wanna see, talk , or hear from you all again. From you former leader Jason.

Everyone was shocked at what Tommy had just read. Oh my god I can't believe this. Kim said. shaking her head.

Zordon what are we going to do now? Billy asked

Im not sure at the moment but we'll have to find a candidate for the red ranger powers soon. Zordon answered.

This is all my fault. Tommy said.

Don't blame your self Tommy this wasn't your fault. Zack said.

We need to go talk to him about this. Trini said.

Come on let's go. Kim said.

They all teleported to the Youth Center. Jason was at the counter drinking a smoothie.

They all walked up to Jason.

Bro what's goin on? Tommy asked.

Hey Ernie if you see any backstabbing friends tell them I ain't hear. Jason said.

Kim grabbed Jason's arm gently. Jason what did we do to you for you to be mad at us? Kim asked.

Jason pulled away. Stay away from me alright, or you'll regret it.

Jason went to his red explorer and rolled up the windows. He reached into his glove department and pulled out his father's gun that he stole. You stole my status and my friends. He cried to himself. That's it. He said. He put the gun in his pants and walked inside the building. He seen Zack, Billy,Tommy,Trini, and Kim talking.

Hey Tommy I need to talk to you. Jason said casually but he was sweating alot

What's wrong buddy?Tommy asked sincerely. Jason quickly pulled out the gun and shot Tommy in the chest. BANG!!! Tommy fell to the ground everyone was screaming when they seen what happened.

Zack tried to keep his cool. Kim was on the ground crying over Tommy.

Jase buddy look put the gun down. No one is mad at you. Zack said. trying to get Jason to drop the gun.

NO YOU LIARS!!! Jason shouted. I trusted you. Jason said all choked up in tears. He pointed the gun to his own head.

Jase don't. Trini pleaded. BANG!!! Jason took his own life.

Trini was crying as she leaned on Zack's shoulder. Kim was still crying over her dead boyfriend's body.

What are we going to do now? Billy asked Zack.

There's nothing we can do Billy it's over for us and the Power Rangers. Zack answered sadly.
