Tommy watched his mother drive away before walking down the path to the lake. He hadn't been down there since he got back and that was his favorite place to go to be alone and at the moment that's what he wanted to be.
He stood on his favorite rock staring out at the lake. It was a pretty warm winter day even for Southern California standards and there were quite a few people hanging out by the lake.
A flash of light behind him caught his attention. He turned around to see Rito standing there with a group of Tengas. Exactly what he didn't need. He looked at his wrist and realized that he had left his communicator at home. He just had to hope that Zordon was still monitoring him and knowing Zordon, he more then likely was. He got into a fighting position.
The Tengas attacked him. He kept knocking them back but it seemed like they just kept coming. He heard a familiar sound and turned around. His eyes got huge. No way. How did they get that? He wondered.
He hit the ground hard as Rito took advantage of his diverted attention.
Tommy got painfully back to his feet and barely moved out of the way as Goldar fired the weapon that was believed to have been lost at him.
"This look familiar Tommy?" Goldar said holding it up.
"Where'd you get it?" Tommy demanded.
"Where'd we get it?" Goldar said laughing. "You gave it to us."
Tommy stood there completely shocked. There was no way he could have done that. He remembered everything he did back then, didn't he? Now he wasn't sure what he remembered.
"You gave it to us just like you gave us Saba."
"You are lying." Tommy said charging at Goldar.
"I don't even think you were completely brainwashed at the time."
Tommy hit Goldar as hard as he could before Goldar knocked him back with his own sword.
"Leave him alone!" A voice yelled.
Tommy looked back and saw the other Rangers morphed and standing there poised to attack.
"Oh my God." Jason said. "Is that?"
"It's impossible." Billy said. "It's been gone since he was sent to the 17th century."
"It is the Dragon Dagger." Goldar said holding it up for them to see it better. "Ask Tommy where we got it from." Goldar said with a laugh, as he, Rito, and the Tengas were teleported away.
"We need to get back to the Command Center." Adam said looking around and seeing that everyone had fled the lakeside area when the monsters had appeared.
Kim grabbed Tommy's hand arm as they all teleported back to the Command Center.
"I don't know what Goldar was talking about." Tommy said as soon as they landed. "I never gave them the Dragon Dagger."
"But bro your memory hasn't been very good since you got back." Jason said.
"Zordon when did the Dragon Dagger disappear?" Aisha asked.
"WE HAVE NO RECORDS OF WHERE IT WENT SINCE THE DRAGON ZORD WAS RETURNED TO THE OCEAN." Zordon said.
"Wait." Kim said. "Goldar said you gave it to them. How do we know he meant you?"
"THAT IS A VERY GOOD POINT KIMBERLY." Zordon said. "IT VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR CLONE."
Tommy looked at them despair clearly written on his face. "But that's not what Goldar said. He said I gave it to them just like I gave them Saba."
"They are just messing with your mind." Rocky said.
Tommy shook his head. He wanted to believe that he really did but he wasn't sure if he could ever trust his memories. If he blanked on certain names, whose to say he didn't blank on certain memories.
"TOMMY I WOULD LIKE TO DO THOSE SCANS NOW." Zordon said.
"I told my mother I'd be outside of the Youth Center in ten minutes." Tommy said. It was a lie because he was afraid of what he'd find out.
"TOMORROW THEN."
"Fine."
"ALPHA TELEPORT TOMMY BACK TO THE YOUTH CENTER." Zordon instructed.
Tommy was gone in a flash of white light.
"They are lying aren't they Zordon?" Adam asked.
"I CAN NOT SAY FOR CERTAIN. IF FINSTER WAS HERE WE COULD ASK HIM BUT HE IS OUT OF COMMUNICATION RANGE AT THE MOMENT. SO THE ONLY OTHER PERSON WHO WOULD KNOW IS TOMMY AND HE DOESN'T REMEMBER."
"I'm going to try to talk to him again." Jason said.
"I'll go with you." Kimberly volunteered.
Jason nodded and they both teleported out.
