Jason teleported down to a deserted area near Angel Grove Middle School. He was still shaken up after contacting Trini, Zack, and Kimberly. He wondered how he would have taken it if Billy or someone had contacted him in Switzerland to tell him Tommy was dead and that there was no way to come help his friends. He didn't even want to think about it.
When he entered the Middle School he found his friends sitting in a circle on a long gym mat. He went over and joined them.
"How'd they take it," Billy asked.
"Not well," Jason answered. "They all want to be here but there's no way to get here. I can't even begin to imagine it if I was still in Switzerland getting the news."
Aisha put a hand on his shoulder. "How are you doing Jason? Tommy was your best friend."
"I keep wishing I'll wake up in Switzerland and find out this was all a bad dream. I never thought Angel Grove would get destroyed. Nothing ever seemed to stop us."
Adam stood up quickly and hurried out of the gym. The others got up and followed him. When they got out of the gym they found Adam there with Rito who was looking at all of them nervously.
"How did you get out of the Command Center?" Adam was asking.
"Zordon let me out," Rito said.
"Why would…" Jason stopped as he heard an explosion on the other side of the school. They all hurried to the other side and found Goldar was giant sized and firing at Angel Grove.
"He didn't let you out!" Jason yelled shoving Rito, "you escaped. That was the plan the whole time wasn't it?"
"No," Rito said shaking his head vehemently. "I don't know how I got out!"
"There's no time for this," Adam said, "we've got to morph!"
They quickly morphed and called the Shogun Zords and were gone leaving Jason and Rito to stare at each other. They were gone in a flash of light.
When they reappeared they found themselves in the Command Center again.
"Zordon how did I leave," Rito asked. After noticing he was once again in a force field.
"OUR TELEPORTATION SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN ACTING STRANGELY EVER SINCE THE POWER DRAIN AND POWER SURGE," Zordon explained. "IT'S HOW JASON WAS ABLE TO TELEPORT TO ANGEL GROVE."
"Would it explain how we left the moon," Rito asked. He was shocked by his own question. "I don't think I teleported us off the moon or sent Goldar away."
"IT'S VERY POSSIBLE," Zordon answered.
"How do we know Rita, Zedd, or Master Vile didn't teleport him out," Jason asked crossing his arms over his chest not believing this at all.
"THEY DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO DO THAT. THEY CAN TELEPORT IN IF THEY HAVE A POWER COIN OR IF WE ALLOW THEM BUT THEY CANNOT TELEPORT SOMEONE OUT."
Jason bit his lip not believing any of this. Rito had to be up to something. That was the only explanation for this. "Zordon is there any way to put a force field around the school?"
Zordon was silent for a moment. "I WILL LOOK INTO IT."
"Or can we teleport them all somewhere else," Jason asked. He was worried about all of the people that were in the school with Goldar firing nearby.
"Zordon," Alpha said before Zordon could answer, "there are planes flying towards Goldar right now! They are firing at them." He brought the image up on the viewing globe.
They all turned to see the National Guard had arrived and were trying to take down Goldar. Goldar left soon after.
Jason had a feeling that Vile, Rita, and Zedd would be back soon with a new plan. He turned to face Rito and something in him just snapped inside of him. He teleported away before anyone could see he was crying. What were they going to do?
