Roof Tops of Angel Grove: Down Town Area:

The clouds had began to drizzle in the night sky, the roars of lightning and thunder covering all the stars in a blanket of black, the world looked so dark to Jason who stood before his brother ready for battle. How did it come to this? How did things become so wrong? Jason remembered the original time line, how things were suppose to be, Tommy was the greatest Ranger then… so he had been. But now, now he was death, he was evil, he was everything he was never meant to be. Jason knew he was a great ranger in the original timeline the original red ranger leader, but he also knew he was not the greatest, now… in this new reality, in this new universe, he may have not been the best ranger ever, but he realized that he had to be! He had to become greater than his original counterpart or Tommy ever was! He had to face his demons and overcome all that fate had given him!

Slowly he tightened his blade holding it to his face, the silver of his sword reflecting an image of himself like a mirror. "Are you ready?" He asked Tommy who brought his own staff to bear.

"Yes." Came the Green Ranger's reply.

"AAAAAHHHH!" Jason began to sprint to his enemy in a Japanese Banzai Charge, his blade surging with Red energy that began to envelope his entire body. Tommy began to charge in turn, drawing up his own blade pointing it toward Jason as he made his sprint.

Jason stopped, his feet sliding on the floor as he made his sudden break; then came the slash from his sword which Tommy deflected with his staff. Their blades crossed slash for slash, deflection for deflection, sparks of green and red energy firing from the points of contact from their weapons. The Tommy struck again but the red ranger countered with a spinning heel kick, his leg swooping over Tommy's staff catching the green ranger's jaw. A second spinning kick from Jason's opposite leg again landed on Tommy's shoulder knocking Tommy off balance. Jason pressed his advantage slicing with his sword across Tommy's chest, then gathering a quick amount of red energy emitting from his body, Jason formed an energy ball from his hands and rocketed it straight into Tommy's chest sending the green ranger flying backward.

"ARRGGHH," came the cry from Tommy who was completely taken back at Jason's new level of skill. But the clash had just begun; now the battle had truly began to erupt. Tommy recovered quickly from Jason's blast, rolling back to his feet spinning his staff around his back and back to his front thrusting it repeatedly at Jason who dodged and ducked out of each of Tommy's counter advance. The red ranger maneuvered and caught Tommy's staff in his hand using it to spin around to Tommy's inside and slash on Tommy's helmet piercing it slightly giving the green ranger and equally revealing scar.

"AAARRGGGHHH!" Tommy cried holding onto his face. "You bastard!"

"Don't talk about dad like that," Jason smirked. "That last one was for the scars you gave me."

"That a fact?" Tommy sarcastically spoke.

The red ranger drew up his and took another fighting stance. "Again?" he smiled

"Round 2!"

Jason came back again jumping into the air slamming down with his sword, but Tommy caught him with the heel of his staff jabbing at his stomach causing Jason to come crashing to the floor. Another swing at Jason's chest from his staff sent a crack of green energy blasting out of Jason and the staff struck its blow. Again Jason shot back up recovering just as Tommy had, the conflict would not be resolved so easily Jason thought as he grabbed out his blade blaster and fired to Tommy.

Tommy sprang to his feet running out of the way of Jason's repeated blasts. ZAP ZAP ZAP! Each laser blast missing its mark as Tommy sprang up to the edge of the building they were battling on and sprinted toward Jason who fired from the far end. Like a helicopter router Tommy spun his staff and charged it with Green energy as he ran. Jason fired wildly at Tommy who blocked all of Jason's blasts with his staff absorbing the attack with the green energy gathering around him. Jason put his blade blaster back into his holster just as Tommy fired the intense amount of energy he had gathered at him.

Jason leaped into the air but it was too late, the end of the blast wave struck his chest launching him back into a sea of green energy. The blast wave took Jason sending him packing straight through a water tower bursting it into a million pieces as gallons of water fell to the floor. The red ranger's body flew back crashing into an adjacent office building, red energy catching desk, papers and computers on fire as the body of the Tyranno Ranger rolled through.

Tommy charged again, jumping into the opening of the office building where Jason had landed. The building's surroundings were already on fire burning all around him. Tommy clutched his staff as Jason struggled back to his feet recovering from Tommy's attack. The Green Ranger walked in confidence mockingly. "Well now… had enough?" Tommy smiled.

Jason drew back his sword spinning it back into hands. "Not nearly!" He clung to his sword toward Tommy though it still remained in his hands. The blade stayed with Jason floating off his hands pointing at Tommy spinning like the axel of a truck, red waves of energy charging around Jason. "POWER SWORD! FLARE UP NOW! ROLLING BOMBER!"

An intense wave of Red energy began to pour out of Jason's power sword and his held his hands out the blade floating in the center of both hands sending vast amounts of energy and power toward Tommy. The green ranger raised his staff to block but the awesome power fried from Jason's attack sent Tommy rocketing back flying him out of the office building crashing him through two more building in the engulfing power of the energy wake.

The rain continued to pour as Jason leaped out of the office building and landed on the streets of Angel Grove where a crater had formed in the crashing area where Tommy had landed. Small bits of red lightning crackled all around the shockwave area and crater. The red ranger walked slowly his power sword still in hand, Jason knew Tommy had been hurt, but not killed.

"Tommy…" he called out to him.

"Well played brother…." Tommy suddenly uttered from the ground. "WELL PLAYED!"

Tommy sprang back to the air holding the Dragon Dagger in Sword Mode! Jason block the strike, but the effect of surprise was already felt and Tommy's attack struck Jason back. Now a sword duel had erupted in the streets, both blades filled with energy!

"Dragon Sword, Flute Fang Strike!" Tommy held the Dragon Sword to his side, the sword lit up with green energy and music could be heard emitting from the blade. He turned the sword forward and unleashed an immense wave of energy that caught Jason's chest and blew him back! BOOM! A crackle of thunder was heard as the explosion seemed to engulf the surrounding area.

Command Center 2: Command Deck:

"JESUS!" Billy called out as he looked at the explosion from the viewing globe.

"This is bad!" Kimberly announced. "We have to help him!"

"No." Trini ordered. "This is something Jason has chosen to do alone."

"And you're going to honor that request?" Zach questioned harshly

"Yes!" Trini responded.

"No offense Trini, but you're not a Ranger anymore, you can't order us around!" Zach countered.

"Can't I?" Trini shot back with confidence. "I'm still in command here, ranger or not! Zach, Jason is determined to do this alone, and I am not about to abandon him now. If things get too hot for him, then we will make our move, but not before!"

"Jason knows what he's doing Zach, have faith in him…" Billy assured him.

"What about Boi?" asked Kimberly

"Back at Tommy's palace… he has to maintain his cover," answered Billy.

"I sure hope he knows what he's doing… Jason I mean. Having Boi still up there…" Kimberly confessed with concern.

"Don't worry; Boi isn't the type to jeopardize anything." Billy responded.

Tommy's Palace: Tommy's secret Chambers:

Boi crossed his arms listening to the demon speaking in front of him. Listening to the words he was saying contemplating his next move. He knew even now that Tommy and Jason were already at war, the fight for the future of Earth in the balance. And though Jason had ordered him not to do anything foolish, Boi did not want to take any chances of defeat.

"If I free you, you get rid of Tommy, not Jason!" Boi ordered

"And Ivan?" Zedd called trapped in his snow globe.

"Dead already!" Boi answered.

"Unfortunate. I wanted to get rid of him myself!" Zedd confessed in anger

"Do we have a deal or not Demon?" asked Boi

"Making deals with the devil then Boi?"

"You're not the devil, but you're pretty close I'll give you that." Boi shook his head as he lifted the snow globe in his hand. "I'm not selling my soul demon, just giving you the opportunity to get back at Tommy. And as bad as Jason thinks you are, I know Tommy is much worse. Jason ordered me not to release you, but I have a feeling if I let you free what will come after will only benefit us rangers in the long run. As I've said, you're not the worst of the evil lot Zedd."

"HA! No one is as bad as me!" proclaimed Zedd

"If that's the case then I should put you back in the closet and lock you away forever."

"NO!" Zedd pleaded. "Jason will live, I give you my word."

"You're word is worth shit to me demon!" Boi fired back harshly. "You think I'm that stupid to take you at your word?! Only a fool would leave you at your word!"

"Then what will convince you?" questioned Zedd

"Tell me how to kill you!"

"Kill me?" Zedd wondered. "You can't, I'm immortal."

"Then you will spend eternity in that globe!" warned Boi

"ARRRGGHHH!" Zedd slammed his fist and snarled in growing anger at Boi's un-empty threats. "My head…"

"What about it?" Boi asked.

Zedd took his fingers and rubbed them across his neck. "Take it off, and you'll be rid of me…"

Boi waited a moment and though back. "That the only way?"

"The only way that I know for sure, yes…"

"Remember, Jason nor I am to be harmed!"

"Fine…"

"Then I set you free…"

Boi gripped the snow globe and threw it to the floor blasting out red and green energy! Darkness filled the room, and Zedd appeared!

Angel Grove Streets: Down Town:

Jason and Tommy both kneeled on the floor panting catching their breath as both warriors had lost most of the energy. The two struggled to stand, struggled to continue their fight. Tommy was shaking his head, completely taken back at the fact that Jason was somehow keeping up with all of his moves. How could this be? He had absorbed most if not all of Zedd's power, how was it that Jason was still in the fight? Any ranger should have fallen quickly to him, and yet in this moment only Jason seemed to have the advantage.

"I must admit… you are doing quite well brother." Tommy nodded

"Thanks… I guess…" Jason panted back to him.

"I don't understand how you continue to match me. I have all of Zedd's power, and yet, you have taken some of my strongest blasts. This is not suppose to happen…" Tommy admitted.

"Evil never wins Tommy." Jason answered.

"As corny and as cliché as that sounds, I must admit, I'm beginning to agree…"

"Really?" Jason asked with hopefulness.

"NAH, I'm just fucking with you!" Tommy leaped back into the air with his sword and the two continued to duel again. This time, Jason blocked much faster, his speed becoming more and more intense. Tommy continued to press on, but Jason matched him blow for blow.

The green ranger attacked wildly desperate to land a strike, but then Jason was too fast. Something was wrong! Tommy began to realize that he was losing! Even now, after all the power he had absorbed, Jason was still winning. What was driving him? BAM! A final strike from Jason's sword knocked Tommy's own weapon away leaving the green ranger weaponless. Jason took his power sword and pointed it into Tommy's chest as the green ranger began to step backwards.

The red ranger held the blade to Tommy's chest but suddenly stopped. Jason tilted his head slightly then without a hint of hesitation started to put his sword away behind his back. The power sword attached to his back and dematerialized into thin air as if it teleported away. Jason nodded to Tommy and drew up his fists. "I am not the type to strike down an unarmed man."

"Stupid." Tommy answered as he instantly struck a blow to Jason punching his face knocking him back. The two began to fight in unarmed combat Jason using Kung Fu, and Tommy matching his fight with Muy Tai.

The struggle began again, Jason fighting forward with repeated kicks followed by punches and Tommy using his knees to block. Jason jumped into the air and threw a series of kick at Tommy who blocked each one before Jason landed. Then Tommy came back again with a flurry of sidekicks and a spinning back kick that struck at Jason's abs. Tommy followed with a double fisted punch that hit Jason's face knocking him to the floor.

"Where's all that Kung Fu now Jason? I knew you were only taking those classes for that little Asian bitch who was in it! HA! HA! " Tommy raised his hands in the air in victory. "Round 2, Tommy wins! HA! HA! HA!"

Jason pushed himself off the ground floor shaking his head. "You're Dragon style is good, but my Dino style will defeat you!" Jason chuckled

"What?" Tommy looked confused for a moment until Jason's leaped from the ground and delivered a flying kick striking Tommy's face blasting him back against a street building cracking the brick walls.

Command Center 2: Command Deck:

"Atta boy Jason." Trini mumbled under her breath clinching her fists looking on as Jason came back up.

"Did you say something Trini?" Billy turned and asked.

"No…" she smiled.

Angel Grove Street Level: Down Town:

Tommy struggled back up from the walls looking straight at Jason who was standing back to his feet fighting from the exhaustion. The red ranger stood back up and waved Tommy over with his hand taunting him. "Come on Tommy… one round 3 mother fucker! Come on! Come and get your ass kicked!"

"You think I'm afraid?!" Tommy snarled. "You think I'm scared of you?!"

"I think you're shiting in your pants!" Jason began to smile

Tommy took his thumb and rubbed it against his nose. "Round 3"

"Come at me Bro!"

Tommy couldn't help but begin to smile in his helmet and nodded in turn. "You were always a cocky little shit weren't you?"

Jason tilted his head and the two warriors began to charge. The red ranger threw a flurry of punches at Tommy who blocked well enough defending all but two that hit his jaw line. Then it was Tommy who struck back with a series of kicks aimed at Jason's lower body. Jason dodged and ducked out of the of all of Tommy's kicks catching his leg, but the Green Ranger countered with a spinning kick and landed at Jason's face.

The Red ranger shook the attack off and charged again. Both fighters leaped into the air striking at each other with leg kicks that were blocked on both sides each time before they landed on the streets below. Now came Jason's advance with cartwheel kick embedded with red energy. The kick struck Tommy down the middle of his chest and cut the Green Ranger down. Tommy came back up only to catch a fist from Jason straight across his face at landed so hard it shattered the visor of the green ranger. Tommy fell to the floor hitting the ground so hard his body bounced up slightly and struck the floor again.

When it was all over Jason stood over Tommy's body looking down at his defeated brother. "Tommy…"

Tommy began to breathe hard, fighting to stay awake. "Jason…"

"It's all over Tommy…" Jason stated pulling out his blade blaster and pointing it at the Green Ranger's back.

"Jason…" Tommy struggled to speak

"I should kill you now! I should Tommy, you deserve to die…"

"I know…" Tommy began to whisper.

The rain continued to fall, the water landing all around the two fighters as if the world was crying. Jason felt the pain in his heart, he knew what he had to do, but he still couldn't bring himself to do it. There he was, Tommy the man that had given him so much pain, so much suffering and as his armor began to fade as Zedd's energy left him, the Green Ranger's power armor returned into its original look. "Why Tommy?"

Tommy struggled to turn around from the floor looking back at Jason who pointed his Blade Blaster straight into his chest. "Jason…"

"Why did you betray us?"

"I remember it all Jason… maybe even more than you do…"

"Remember what Tommy?" Jason asked

"The first timeline… the real original universe… I remember it all…" he uttered.

"Then why do it? Why!"

"You don't understand Jason… I was only trying to save us all… to take us back…"

"Back? What do you mean?"

"Ivan… he was planning on building something… something that could alter all reality… I thought about it, how to fix it… this was my plan… the only one I could see to have any chance of victory. In this universe Jason… evil has the advantage, not good… so I became what I had to, to win…"

"Winning isn't everything Tommy…"

"Jason, I know how to make it all right… I know how…"

Jason shook his head in disappointment at his older brother. "You can't fix this Tommy… you can't."

"Yes I can… we both can…"

"How?"

"The machine I'm building… it can-"

THUD!

The Earth rumbled as Lord Zed landed on the streets of Angel Grove. Red and Black energy erupted a roar from the howling demon was suddenly heard as Jason turned his head and saw the Emperor of the Zedd Empire had returned.

"Oh… shit…" Jason uttered.

Zedd's body glowed red, his staff had returned to him, morphing from a T into a Z at the head. His red Visor lit up and as he walked he shook the ground under him.

"Jason Lee Tellez…" Zedd began to utter in a dark and slow demonic voice.

"Zedd…" Jason uttered

"I should rip your heart out, and eat you alive. That yellow ranger spy of yours was a smart idea, I am free now…"

"Zedd…" Jason uttered again

Command Center 2: Command Deck:

"Oh God…" Trini uttered in fear

"Oh my God!" Kimberly whimpered

"Fuck me…" Zach called

"Oh shit… Trini…" Billy called looking at her

"Go now!" Trini ordered. "GO NOW!"

Streets of Angel Grove:

"What the fuck are you?" Jason asked.

"How to answer that… how indeed… look at you red ranger… all alone…"

Jason began to take a fighting stance when suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"He's not alone!" Tommy answered as the two warriors looked into each other's eyes. Through the broken visor of Tommy Jason looked into his brothers eyes and nodded at him.

The Red and Green Rangers stood back to back and took up a defensive stance looking on at Zedd.

"You're move Demon…" Jason called at him.

"So be it…"

"Ready?!" Jason asked looking at Tommy

"Ready!"

Jason turned to Red and Called out. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
