Jason teleported down to Angel Grove Hospital and used the scrambling device that Zedd had given to hide his appearance as he was not allowed into Tommy's room.
He went up to Tommy's bed and noticed that he was asleep. He was happy to note Charlotte was not in the room. He took out his sword and looked at Tommy trying to decide where to start. Should he just finish him off swiftly or cause him a lot of pain first? He decided he better do the former, as he didn't have that much time.
He grabbed Tommy by the hospital gown and took the sword out. He was about to stab Tommy.
Tommy opened his eyes drowsily and saw Jason holding the sword. "Jason?"
Jason's arm started to shake.
Finish him! A voice in his head said.
Jason's arm steadied again and the sword was raised higher.
"Jason don't." Tommy begged as he tried to push Jason away. He was having a hard time as the sedative he was given earlier was still in effect.
Finish him now!
Jason shook his head trying to clear it. Something inside of him was telling him this was wrong. Very wrong. He was having a hard time fighting the voice in his head telling him to kill Tommy.
He couldn't kill his best friend.
Now!
"Jason!" A voice yelled and he was tackled to the ground.
Jason struggled to turn around and saw that the person who tackled him was Zack.
"Zack teleport him to the Command Center." Trini instructed.
Zack and Jason were gone in a flash of light. Trini went up to Tommy and started examining him.
"I'm okay Trini." Tommy said quickly. "You guys arrived before he could do anything."
"What's going on here?" A nurse asked coming into the room. "Someone reported hearing yelling. Did you have another nightmare Tommy?" She asked.
"Yeah." Tommy said thinking it wasn't a total lie. This whole thing was a nightmare.

Zack stood aside watching as Alpha ran a scanner over Jason who was behind a force field.
"Zordon the spell is gone." Alpha said as soon as the scan was done.
"That's not what it looked like to me."
"I wasn't going to..." Jason's voice shook. "I MEAN came so close to it...I could have killed him if Zack didn't show up."
"JASON THE SPELL THAT YOU WERE UNDER WAS POWERFUL. YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE BROKEN THROUGH IT. I AM GRATEFUL THAT YOU DID."
Jason powered down and handed the coin to Alpha who promptly destroyed it.
"WE WILL NEED TO OBSERVE YOU TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO LASTING EFFECTS FROM THE SPELL." Zordon continued.
Jason could only nod. He still couldn't believe what he had almost done. Cutting off a finger was one thing, but almost killing your best friend was another.
