Jason groaned as he opened his eyes. His whole body hurt. It felt like a zord ran over him. He sat up and looked around. All he could see was rubble. He looked down at himself and saw his jeans and t-shirt were torn and dirty. He had a cut on his arm. The last thing he remembered was Ryan grabbing on to Tommy and everything going dark.

Where was he now? Jason wondered as he got up on the ground. It was a miss. Was he in a part of Angel Grove that had been destroyed? He knew sadly there was much of the city he hadn't been to but knew had been damaged.

He walked around carefully and stopped as he got a good look at his surroundings. He wasn't in Angel Grove.

He was in what had been the Command Center.

"Rajon? Mr. Oliver?" he called.

No answer.

How did he get here? He wondered. Or had he never left and had dreamed everything.

"Jason?" a nervous voice called.

He turned around and saw Rajon standing there.

There was a shimmer of light. Jason got into a fighting position thinking someone had teleported in and he didn't know who it was.

He stared at the person not believing what he was seeing.

"Tommy?"

Tommy nodded as he let go of his dad.

"I finally caught you." A new voice said.

"Vile." Jason spat out glaring at the man who had put him under a spell and tried to convince him that Tommy had been set free by his death.

"Stay back," Tommy said in a raspy voice to his dad. His voice was still strained from all of the things that had happened recently.

"I'm not here to fight you former Rangers," Vile said looking at all three teens. Rajon was standing slightly behind both Jason and Tommy. "In fact, if I wanted to, I could take all of you with me. But I know Thomas is still connected to the grid and I can't infuse him with anything as it'll bounce back so I'm going to make him an offer. He can save only one of you."

Tommy looked at Vile and he knew exactly what Vile was meaning. He thought for only a brief second. "My father and Rajon."

Vile snorted. "Well played." He fired at Ryan and Rajon and they disappeared.

Jason stood stunned. Tommy chose two people. He wasn't surprised he supposed that it would be his father but how did he select two?

He was sacrificing himself.

Tommy stood there without saying anything for a moment before looking at Vile.

"You know this will be painful right Thomas? Are you sure you want to go through it again?"

"If you promise Jason won't be harmed."

"I said you could save one Oliver don't press your luck. He will be useful to me as a member of my army."

Jason opened his mouth to protest but Vile cut him off with a movement of his hand.

Tommy lowered his head and nodded.
