Tommy's Love
Chapter 3- Jason
_Command Center_
Kim, Trini and Zack were crowded around Billy and Alpha as they tried to maintain a lock on Zordon's signal.
"Come on Alpha you almost had a lock on Zordon!" said Zack
"Ay yi yi, I'm hurrying Rangers." Alpha replied.
"The sub generator is losing power." said Billy as he walked over to another panel to try and get more power.
"Zordon's signal is fading," Alpha cried "switching to alternate energy source."
"Come on," sighed Kim looking up at Zordon's tube watching as his image faded in and out, but it did not become any clearer.
"We're still not getting enough power, Zordon's signal is too weak," said Billy as he walked back toward Alpha. He looked up at the tube as Zordon's image faded but this time it did not return. "We've lost him." he sighed.
"In that brief second he was back he was trying to tell us something about the Green Ranger." Zack said.
"Which means he is probably involved in all of this," said Trini barely hiding the annoyance in her voice.
Billy walked away from the others. He was thinking back to exactly what Zordon had said. Suddenly it hit him.
"Hey Alpha, Zordon told us where to look for him. He was something about being in Q N Sector of some system, it is not much but it is something to go on," said Billy making the others jump. He rushed over to one of the computers and began inputting some data. The others crowded around him to see what he was doing and Trini bumped his hand making him hit the wrong key. They had moved in so close that he was unable to move or breathe.
"Grrr!" He growled as he slammed his hand down on the panel. "Right if you guys want Zordon back I am going to have to request you all leave the Command Center. I can't work under this much pressure and with everyone looking over my shoulder I need room to work. If you guys want to do something maybe you can go look for Jason or see if anyone has seen him lately." he suggested.
"OK, but how will you contact us if a monster or the Green Ranger attacks the city?" asked Kimberly.
"Oh I hadn't thought about that." Billy replied and he took off his communicator and began making adjustments. In no time he finished and put it back on his wrist.
"There that should do it I adjusted the frequency of the communicators so we now can contact each other and are now able to teleport." he told them and the three teens moved away from Billy and teleported to a quiet part of town. They then split up and began to look for any signs of Jason and ask if anyone had seen him.
Kimberly walked to the Juice Bar to ask the owner Ernie if he had seen Jason at all that day.
She walked up to the counter and was greeted by Ernie's friendly face
"Hey Ernie, have you seen Jason around today?"
"I'm sorry Kimberly; I haven't seen him around for a while. You think he's in trouble or something?" Ernie asked.
"I don't know Ernie." she replied and she rested her arms on the counter trying to think where else he could be. Suddenly Bulk and Skull walked in and came to stand on either side of her.
"Hey babe, we hear you're looking for Jason," said Skull as he leaned into her.
"Yeah we'll help you look for Jason-shmason," Bulk agreed.
"Missing persons are our specialty," finished Skull.
Kim began to rub her temples. She did not have time for these two bullies right now, she was wanting them to leave her alone so she could think.
"Thanks, but no thanks," she sighed.
"Hey, we work cheap," said Bulk.
"What's cheap?" Ernie scoffed.
"We take payment in kisses." answered Skull and he made kissing noises at Kim.
"OK," Kimberly said.
Ernie looked at her in shock.
"Close your eyes," said Kim turning to face Skull.
"Kimberly, don't do it," Ernie said.
Kim quickly turned to face Ernie, gave him a quick smile and winked. She then turned back to Skull who had his eyes closed. Ernie watched as Skull leaned in closer to where Kim was standing, his lips puckered ready for the kiss. At the last second she moved and Skull unknowingly kissed Bulk on the cheek. Skull opened his eyes to look at Kim but found himself looking at Bulk who had a disgusted look on his face
"Ugh!" cried Bulk and Skull repeated this
Bulk looked at Skull and growled. Skull backed away and Bulk gave chase.
"You kissed me!" he called after Skull and he chased him over the Juice Bar.
"Ernie, if you see Jason will you tell him that we're looking for him?" asked Kim.
"Sure thing Kimberly," he replied as Kim walked towards the door of the Youth Center. Kim was walking backwards as she was talking to Ernie and did not see Tommy until she had bumped into him.
"Oh, excuse me," she said as she turned to face the person she had bumped into.
"Tommy?" she said. He ignored her and continued to walk out of the Youth Center.
"Tommy, wait." she called as she walked towards him.
He turned to face her with a mean look on his face, but Kim didn't notice the look.
"Have you seen Jason around?" she asked him.
He walked up to her almost right in her face.
"As a matter of fact, he was supposed to meet me after school but he never showed," Tommy sneered.
"Weird, that's not like him," she said.
"Oh, and let me guess, you're worried right? That's what you do best Isn't it Kimberly." he said in a patronising voice.
Kim stared at him for a moment before he turned and almost walked into Zack who had just walked in.
"Yo, Tommy what's up?" Zack asked.
Tommy just looked Zack over, turned and walked away, without any response.
"What's with him?" he asked pointing his thumb behind him.
"I wish I knew," replied Kim. "Hey, did you find anything?"
"No, I looked everywhere for him, but no one has seen him." he replied.
"It's funny, Tommy said Jason was supposed to meet him after school but that Jason never showed." explained Kimberly.
"That's bogus, I know Jason was there," Zack answered.
"Then you talk to Tommy, he probably thinks I'm making this whole thing up just so I have a reason to talk to him." said Kim.
"Don't worry about him, we have other things we need to worry about right now, like finding Jason. Let's head back to the Command Center and see if Billy has had any luck," Zack suggested and the pair found a quiet room and teleported back to the Command Center.
_Dark Dimension_
Jason was laying on the floor with Goldar standing over him his sword posed ready to strike him.
"I have enjoyed this so much I am sorry to see it end, but when my empress commands…" said Goldar as he raised the sword above his head.
"…I obey," Goldar finished and he brought the sword down towards Jason. Jason rolled away at the last minute and the sword hit the floor with a loud clank that echoed throughout the room. Jason stood for a moment then dived into the fog that covered the floor hoping it would cover him so he could hide from Goldar until he could figure out what to do next. He could tell from the grunts and noises that Goldar was making that he couldn't see him and he breathed a quiet sigh of relief. His plan was working so far.
He could hear Goldar growl and then there was a loud clank as Goldar thrust his sword blindly on the ground in hopes of hitting him. He lay very still so not to alert Goldar to where he was. Goldar continued to hit the floor with his sword.
"There is no escape Jason," Goldar called into the mist.
From the clanks of the sword hitting the ground Jason could tell that Goldar was near the far side of the room when suddenly Goldar spoke.
"You are beginning to make me angry Human."
More clanking followed but this time it was getting closer.
"Where are you?" said Goldar standing directly over where Jason was laying. Goldar brought his sword down and Jason could see the blade clearly. It was going to hit him unless he moved so he shifted slightly and heard the blade hit solid ground. Goldar growled and stepped over Jason and he breathed a sigh of relief. That had been too close.
"You are only prolonging the inevitable Jason, Show yourself. Give up. I'll be merciful," said Goldar as he walked away from him.
When Goldar had gotten far enough away from where he was laying Jason stood up and yelled. Goldar turned around as Jason jumped and kicked at Goldar hitting him in the chest and knocking him to the ground.
"So Goldar, how does it feel to be outsmarted by a human being?" asked Jason.
"No human's ever defeated Goldar!"
"Well I'm going to change that!" Jason yelled.
Jason swung his leg up high to try and kick Goldar but he missed and Goldar kicked him in the chest knocking him to the ground and Goldar began swing his sword as he advanced on Jason. Jason had no choice but to scoot along the ground away from Goldar.
"You're not begging me for mercy human because you know I'd never grant it." shouted Goldar as he raises his sword to strike Jason.
Suddenly there was green smoke behind Goldar and a voice spoke.
"Goldar stop." When the smoke cleared Jason could see the Green Ranger standing behind Goldar and Goldar turned to face him.
"I thought Rita wanted me to destroy him." Goldar said.
"She wants that pleasure to be mine and has ordered me personally to see to his end," said the green clad figure.
Goldar disappeared in a flash of light leaving Jason and the Green Ranger alone.
"So, we meet again. I've been looking forward to this," the Green Ranger said.
The two started circling each other and Jason spoke to the Green Ranger.
"You wear a green costume and yet your loyalty's with Rita," said Jason.
"I am her Green Ranger and she is my empress," the Green Ranger answered.
"She's Evil!" shouted Jason.
"Yeah and so am I!" the Green Ranger replied as he took up a fighting stance and the two began to fight.
The Green Ranger tried to kick Jason, but he moved and rolled to avoid another kick. He lunged at the Green Ranger, but he kicked Jason in the stomach and knocked him to the floor.
"Soon you and your friends will be only a memory!" the Green Ranger laughed.
Jason kicked up at the Green Ranger knocking him back and got to his feet. The Green Ranger tried to kick Jason's head but he ducked and tried the same move but the Green Ranger was quick and he moved before the blow could hit its mark. Jason then kicked him in the chest and the Green Ranger just laughed.
"You are a skilled warrior," commented the Green Ranger.
"Let's end this; I don't want to fight you…"
"Because you know I'll win?" the Green Ranger interrupted.
"No, because if you were truly a Ranger you'd be on Zordon's side, and not Rita's." Jason shouted.
"Zordon is a memory. Rita will soon rule the world!" answered the Green Ranger.
The Green Ranger attacked Jason with a swift kick but Jason blocked the kick. Before Jason could make his own move the Green Ranger kicked high aiming for his head but Jason ducked, the Green Ranger kicked at his side, but he blocked the blow with his arm. Jason made his move kicking high at the Green Ranger's head before making another kick at his side, however both blows missed. The Green Ranger then kicked Jason knocking him to the floor and Jason landed right next to his morpher. He reached for it, but the Green Ranger saw what he was about to do and stood on his wrist preventing him from getting the morpher. The Green Ranger stood with his foot on Jason's arm and just laughed knowing that he had Jason right where he wanted him.
"It is over, I am the victor." the Green Ranger said as he held out his hands and a sword appeared in them.
"What do you think of my sword?" he asked as he waved it above Jason.
"You are about to pay the price of defeat. For what it's worth you put up a pretty good fight, but now that battle is finished." the Green Ranger laughed as he held the sword above his head ready to strike Jason. Suddenly Jason was surrounded by a familiar red light and he was teleported out of the dark dimension.
He landed back in the Command Center and the first thing he heard was,
"Billy you did it!" cried Trini.
The four teens ran to Jason's side and the two girls hugged him tightly.
"Guys that was way too close. The Green Ranger nearly sliced and diced me." Jason told them. "I've got a lot to fill you guys in on. You're not going to believe what happened."
"It all started at school, I finished talking to Tommy and then…."
"Wait a minute, you said you were at school?" asked Kimberly.
"Tommy said you never showed," finished Zack.
"That's weird. The next thing I know I'm fighting Goldar and he has my Power Morpher, then the Green Ranger shows up and then we went at it." Jason finished
"Did you find out anything more about him?" questioned Billy.
"Well I know one thing, he's one mean fighter," Jason told them.
"Man, can you believe our enemy this time is another Ranger?" wondered Zack.
Suddenly the alarm sounded and the five teens rushed to the viewing globe. In the globe they could see a strange girl in some form of armor attacking the city.
"Who's that?" asked Kimberly.
"It's the evil stinging Scorpina, I have not seen her in over ten thousand years," Alpha informed them.
"She has launched an attack on the warehouse district," said Zack.
"We've got to stop her," Trini declared.
Jason stepped out in front and made the call
"It's Morphin' Time!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-Tooth Tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
The five Rangers appeared in the warehouse district in front of Scorpina.
"All right let's do it," said Jason.
"POWER RANGERS!" the five called together.
Scorpina blasted the Rangers with a large bolt of energy from the sword she held and the Rangers were knocked back. Scorpina then called for the putty patrol and several putties appeared in front of the Rangers. Four of the five Rangers attacked the putties while Jason went for Scorpina.
Scorpina slashed Jason with her sword causing sparks all over Jason's suit and knocking him to the ground. The other four Rangers ran to Jason's side and helped him to his feet. The next thing the Rangers knew Scorpina was gone. The Rangers teleported back to the Command Center to find Alpha there waiting for them along with Zordon.
"Zordon, it's so good to see you," Trini said.
"It is good to see you again Rangers. And now I have something to reveal to you, Alpha if you would," said Zordon.
"Right Zordon. When the Green Ranger was trapped in the force field the computer was able to get a sample of his bio-vibrations and ran them through the system and it found a match. If you turn your attention to the viewing globe you be see the identity of the Green Ranger." the five teens turned to the viewing globe and saw a fuzzy image and as it cleared they recognised the figure.
"It can't be….."
