Chapter Fourteen
The Rangers made it to the Business District of Angel Grove in one piece. They looked up to the sky to see a giant zord they had never seen before. The team immediately realized the zord to be Tommy's.
The Rangers watched helplessly as the zord destroyed the city. Without their zords there was nothing else to do except watch, dodge debris, and try not to get stepped on. It was several minutes before something happened to change the battle to the good Rangers' favor.
By some miracle their zords returned to them and they knew Zordon had also returned.
Jason quickly summoned his Tyrannosauruszord to battle Tommy's Dragonzord. The two zords battled for several minutes before the other Rangers summoned their zords and combined with Jason's to form the Megazord. It didn't take them long to defeat the Dragonzord and take the battle to the ground where Jason and Tommy engaged in hand to hand combat. The Green and Red Rangers fought until Tommy had the upper hand.
"And now Red Ranger," the evil teen said. "It is time for me to destroy you. I must be victorious for my queen."
Tommy was about to final kill the person at the top of his list. It was a joyous feeling and the Green Ranger was distracted by in.
Jason took his advantage and fought Tommy until the green clad teen was knocked to the ground.
"It's all over Tommy," Jason said and destroyed the fallen Sword of Darkness with a single blast.
Seeing the battle was over, the other Rangers approached their leader.
"All right, guys," Jason said. "Let's morph."
"Right," Kimberly agreed.
The Rangers morphed into their civilian forms.
"You destroyed the Power Sword," Zack exclaimed happily. "Rita's spell is broken!"
Jason noticed Tommy regaining consciousness and helped him to his feet.
"You okay, Tommy?" Jason asked.
"What's happening to me?" Tommy asked with a weak groan.
"You're no longer under Rita's power," Jason answered.
"My head is spinning," the Green Ranger said.
"You'll be okay, man," the Red Ranger said with a hint of a chuckle.
Suddenly, the memories of the past week flooded Tommy's mind. Guilt instantly consumed him.
"What have I done?" he asked more to himself then the Rangers around him.
"What you did, you did under Rita's influence," Jason said. "You own the Power now. Fight by our side and we can defeat Rita."
"After everything that's happened?" Tommy asked unsure he should agree.
"Tommy, we need you," Jason pleaded.
By now the others had joined them.
"It's where you belong," Jason said.
The Red Ranger held out his hand.
"Will you join us," Tommy?" he asked.
Tommy looked at the others. They all had encouraging looks. Tommy gazed at Kimberly the longest. She looked so hopeful and for the first time since the first day they met, Tommy felt unable to deny the Pink Ranger.
Without a word, Tommy took Jason's hand. The Green Ranger was finally with the good guys, right where he always belonged.
