Once or twice Mrs. Scott had come in to check on Tommy and her son. Jason didn't mind her checking in on him, he knew she was worried, there were the two most important boys in her life, her son and the boy she thought of as a son whom her son had a crush on.
Jason settled back down into the recliner that was his bed.
"Please Tommy wake up." He said whispering.
Jason was woke the next morning by his phone going off.
"Hello?" He answered sleepily
"Hey Jace its David." Jason's face lit up when he heard his name.
"David hey!" He replied.
"Any change in Tommy?" David asked.
"None so far." Jason replied, "but I do have a question for Sam." He finished
"Hold on I'll get him." David replied soon the voice of the older man came on
"Hello Jason." He said kindly.
"Hey Sam sorry to bug you." Jason said
"No problem, your family after all, now what's your question." Sam said happily
"Well this spiritual animal that I have, can it sometimes influence your actions?" Jason asked.
Sam was quiet for a second before replying.
"Only if your require it or it feels the need to present itself." Sam explained.
"Why?"
Jason told him the whole story about how Mrs. Oliver had threatened to take down the dream catcher, about how she denied Tommy's heritage, about how she wanted to exclude Tommy from them. Sam never said a word until Jason was done.
"I see Jason." He said
"What happened Sam?" Jason asked a little scared.
"I believe that your spirit animal saw the rage that drove you and saw the connection you have with Tommy and didn't want anything to happen to that relationship for fear of what it would do to you, there for it stepped in lending some of its wisdom and power to your already powerful rage."
Jason took a moment to take this all in.
"So my spirit animal chose to show itself to take down Tracy Oliver?" He asked confused.
"Try not to focus on details." Sam advised. " He saw the emotion that you had and knew what Tommy's heritage means to the both of you and felt he could trust you to handle his power well, which you did by the way."
Jason smiled,
"Soon you will learn to communicate and even understand the wonderful gift you have been given." Sam finished
"I just wish T could see me going through this stuff he might be able to help." Jason said sadly
"Young Falcon is always there for you, isn't he" Asked Sam.
"Yeah." Jason said,
"Then I feel this time is no different." Sam said. Jason lowered his head smiled and said
"Thanks Sam."
"Anytime young one." Sam said handing the phone back to David.
"That took a while, you sure your ok Jace?" David asked
"I'm fine, I'll call you if I should hear anything." Jason said and said his goodbyes to David and Sam. Hanging up his phone he said to himself. 'There his only family, his only decent family, that is.' He looked at Tommy.
'I hope this spiritual journey thing helps us grow closer T.' he said.
That night Jason was startled awake by loud beeping and noises coming from the monitors around Tommy. He jumped and ran for the nearest nurse, after he brought her back to Tommy's room she called for more medical attention. Soon the whole room was filled with Nurses, and a Doctor, who were speaking in medical terms, but there was one phrase that Jason could understand.
"He's crashing."
This one lone sentence brought Jason to his knees. Once the Doctor noticed how Jason was reacting he instructed a nurse to take him outside in the hall way. She grabbed a hold of His arm, Jason fought every way he could
"I can't leave him." He yelled the nurse didn't respond she just pulled him out. once she got him into the hall she explained
"It's only till the Doctor can stabilize his condition." as she went back into Tommy's room she shut the door.
'Don't you dare leave me Thomas Trueheart' He angrily thought.
Finally after what seemed like forever the door opened. Jason jumped up to find the Doctor right beside him. The doctor was a younger man about 30ish, Jason thought with brown spiky hair, and deep brown eyes.
"Hold on a minute kiddo." He said
"How is he?" Jason asked impatiently.
"Stable." The doctor replied Jason let out a sigh of relief.
The Doctor reached down and put a hand on Jason's shoulder.
"He should be alright." He said softly and walked away. Jason sat with his head in his hands for a while.
'Damn it Tommy don't scare me like that again.' he said over and over in his head. He had to talk to someone about this, but who? who would be awake? He brought his hands down and spotted the communicator on his wrist. ' That's it.' He thought. Holding the device up to his mouth he began to speak.
"This is Jason...anybody up?" He asked. There was silence from the other end, Jason was just about to try again when a very sleepy voice came asked
"Jason?" It was Rocky, Jason felt bad for calling so late but he had to talk to someone.
"Rock I'm sorry to wake you." he said.
"No prob, dude what's wrong?"
The new Red ranger replied back.
"Its Tommy." Jason said his voice cracking
"We almost lost him."
Rocky was shocked,
"Alright Jace hold on I'll be right there." Jason hung up and put his head against the wall.
Soon Rocky, Aisha, Billy, Zack, and Kat came around. Rocky was first on the scene, he could tell something wasn't right with Jason.
"Jace what's wrong?" He asked. Jason looked up at his successor,
"We almost lost him Rock." Jason began as he explained. After Jason was done the rangers all began to get close and try to help one another through the feelings they had, soon enough though one by one they began to fall asleep. Jason was the last to fall.
-TOMMY -
Tommy stood up in a deep green forest, not knowing how he had gotten there, or why he was there. Just then Tommy heard a sound he hoped he would never hear again.
"Muhahahaha" The voice laughed.
Tommy began to search around,
'Impossible' he thought. The voice laughed even louder and closer than it had the first time. Tommy spun around to see something coming towards him from the forest.
"You are pathetic." It mocked.
"You can't be real." Tommy shot back.
"This is my reality now Tommy." He said stepping out from the shadows to reveal The Green Ranger. They began to circle one another,
"What do you want from me?" Tommy asked.
"It's quite simple Thomas,"
Tommy hated it when people used his full name, he only let certain people get away with it,
"You will face three opponents in this world, you must defeat us in order to survive." The Green Ranger said as he got in a fighting stance, Tommy followed suit.
'Man how am I supposed to fight myself?' Tommy thought.
"Well do something Tommy" The green ranger bantered.
Tommy didn't attack.
"Fine I was hoping to have a little fun first but it looks like you're going to be difficult."
He lunged at Tommy who dived out of the way, but that's when the trouble really began for Tommy. The Green Ranger dealt attack after attack on Tommy who used all he could to keep himself alive. He finally managed to fight The Green Ranger back.
"Impressive Thomas." The Green Ranger said drawing the dragon dagger out. playing the notes Tommy knew all too well, the Green Ranger sent a blast towards Tommy who rolled out of the way and suddenly found himself on a white sandy beach.
'Now where am I?" Tommy asked He looked up towards the sky. Over head there was a falcon flying, Tommy smiled,
"That's good." He said, and ran off in the direction the falcon was flying.
Suddenly there was an explosion next to Tommy, that knocked him over into the sand. Tommy got up and brushed himself off. He looked in the direction of the explosion and who should he see coming towards him but the White Ranger.
"Well done Tommy." He said "Now you face me." He said drawing Saba.
Tommy regained his fighting stance.
'Man he's got Saba, I don't have anything to defend myself against that.' The White Ranger landed a couple of good blasts on Tommy. Tommy was just about to give in when he heard a voice.
"Don't you dare leave me Thomas Trueheart." Tommy knew that voice anywhere
"Jason?" He called. There was nothing for a while until finally
"Tommy bro, come to my voice" Jason called again.
Tommy got up and ran towards Jason's voice. He was running for a while before he found anything or anyone, finally he saw a man standing on the beach in front of him. He was in Native Dress and had long silver hair. Tommy thought he recognized him but he vanished before Tommy could get any closer. The native man was replaced by another ranger, This time it was the Red Zeo ranger.
"Well, well, I'm impressed Thomas." He said
"Now I suppose I fight you," Tommy asked feeling exhausted.
"All I will say is that up till now you have not fought yourself." The red Zeo ranger said. He could see he confused Tommy.
"You have been fighting mere residual energy left over by those powers, but now you face yourself in a final test of strength." he said as he stepped to the side revealing a battered and beaten Jason.
"Jason" Tommy said. He then turned to Zeo Red.
"I won't fight Jason." He said firmly
Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"My dear human." Mocked the Green Ranger. "You don't have a choice." He said taking over Tommy's body.
Tommy tried to fight it but it was too strong. He found himself charging his friend and beating the crap out of him. Finally the Green Ranger made Tommy grab the Dragon Dagger and start slicing Jason apart. Strike after strike, Tommy began to cry but there was nothing he could do to stop himself.
"That's enough." Shouted the Zeo Ranger.
He handed the Green Ranger the Sword of Darkness.
"Finish him." He commanded.
"My pleasure." the green ranger laughed. Suddenly Tommy found himself holding the sword and charging Jason who looked up at him with eyes filled with tears and pain.
"Tommy, please." It was too late Tommy forced the blade through his chest and de-morphed. The green Ranger joined the other rangers as Tommy held Jason in his arms, that were covered in his blood.
"How unfortunate." Zeo Red said.
"I figured if one of his friends was in trouble he could muster up the strength to stop me" The Green Ranger added.
Tommy sat with Jason's body in his arms, He couldn't believe he had killed him. with tears flowing from his face Tommy looked up angrily at his former ranger selves, suddenly there came a voice
"Tommy Trueheart." It called.
"Impossible!" Shouted the white ranger.
"Jace." Tommy called, looking around.
"I love you Thomas Trueheart, and I'm never leaving you again." Tommy rose anger and courage building in his heart.
"I'll take you all on." He said angrily the falcon that was circling above dived for Tommy. It swooped behind him causing a blinding white light, forcing the other rangers to disappear.
"Tommy" A voice called. this one was different, it was the voice of a woman. Tommy spun around and was met with two people he thought he would never see.
"Mom, Dad?" He asked
"Yes Tommy." His father said. They were still completely blacked out by the white light, so he couldn't see what they looked like.
"Tommy we are so proud of you." his mother continued.
"Yes Tommy you have fought against all odds and not only saved the world but you found us." His father said.
"I miss you guys so much." Tommy sobbed.
"We miss you too Tommy but it is not your time yet." His father said placing a hand on his sons shoulder. His mother looked behind him,
"Tommy?" She asked
"That boy, he means allot to you doesn't he."
Tommy nodded.
"He's a good friend, a good leader and a good student." His father said.
"Go to him son." His mother said.
"Will I ever see you again?" Tommy asked.
"When it's your time." His father said.
"Tommy know that we always loved you and are watching over you and your brother even now." Mrs. Trueheart said.
Then the white light faded and his parents faded and were never seen again. Shortly after his parents vanished his surroundings vanished, and faded to white.
Oh, man Tommy finally found his real parents, do they know about him and Jason? Almost at the end of my Pre-written story so it might take me a bit longer to get chapters out. Reviews are welcome and appreciated.
