The next day the sun was shiny down brightly. While Tommy, Justin and the robotic friend stood underground in the command center. Tommy looked from Justin to D-cell. He took a deep breath and then let it out.
"Contact them, I wont be able to do this on my own" said Tommy softly. D-cells spark about flied. Finally after five months he as ready.
"Yes I shall bring them all here at once" said D-cell. Justin looked a deeply in Tommy's eyes
"Tommy everything alright?' he asked looking at his friend.
Tommy took a few minutes then spoke. "Yeah I'm fine, look I got to go I have a class to teach later" and Tommy was gone.
With that D-cell and Justin had begun contacting old friends who will turn out to be. Jason Scott, Rocky Decanto's Adam Park, Aisha Cambelle, and Kimberly Hart.
Zedd was in his chamber his eyes glowed red. He was taping his fingers against the railing as he stood above.
"So are dear Tommy has decided to let his friend help" he laughed, "I will destroy all of them once and for all"
Kim and Aisha had been driving for day's now to get back to Angle Grove. Kim was in the driver's seat and Aisha sat in the passengers.
"Man I can't wait to get back" said Asha in a happy voice. Kim on the other hand had something on her mind. Aisha looked at her, with a smile. "Your thinking about him aren't you?" she asked. Kim looked at her then back to the road.
"Hmm, oh look were here" said Kim as she parked into the driveway to a small house her and Aisha bought. The moving truck was already there along with Aisha's car.
Aisha just looked at Kim and shook her head.
Jason, Rocky, and Adom had moved in together about a year ago and had been living a little outside Angel Grove ever sense. None of them had seen or heard from Tommy in quite a while. Rocky hadn't even seen Justin as well. Jason and his two friends were sitting on the couch playing video games when.
Flashes of light shined all over. When the light disappeared five figures stood together looking around.
"Where are we?' asked Rocky aloud Jason and Adam had no clue.
"I have no idea" Adam replied. Kim and Aisha finally turned around to meet their company. To their surprise it was faces of old friends.
"Jason" Kim said aloud with a big smile.
"Rocky, Adam how have you guys been?" asked Aisha with a big smile on her face.
By now they were all hugging each other when Justin and D-cell walked up to them.
"Hey guys" said Justin waving. Rocky and Adam eyes lit up.
"Justin" the both of them said walking up to him.
"Yeah it's me oh and this here is D-cell" said Justin introducing the robot.
"Okay but what's gonna on here?" asked Kim
"Where are we?" asked Jason looking around
"Yeah I thing you have things you need to tell us kid" said Aisha getting a little snappy.
"D-cell and I brought you here to the new command center. Look its not any easier than this Lord Zedd returned to Earth five months ago and he's back in Angel Grove" said Justin getting serious. Knowing he had everyone's attention.
Jason stepped forward with stern eyes
"You said Zedd's been here for five months who's been protecting Angel Grove" he asked aloud. Justin looked to D-cell.
"The one that will be your leader. I'm sure you already know who he is. I am sorry we called you guys all late. If it were up to me all of you would have been here long ago" said D-cell
"Wo wo time out. You mean to tell us that Tommy has been fighting solo" said Rocky. Justin was silent for a moment,
"Yeah he has, I'm sorry but now we have o work on getting your power up to boost" said Justin.
Aisha looked at Kim she smiled and patted her friend on the back.
"Your gonna have to face him one day you know" she said. Kim looked at her and smiled.
"I know" she said softly
The Karate school was closed for the day. But Tommy continued to workout on his own. He kept going over kicks and punches of all sorts. Front kicks, side kick and reverse punches. Were going all over, he then heard voices coming towards him. He didn't have to turn to know who they were.
Jason and the other walked up to Tommy.
"Hey Justin said we would find you here" said Jason looking at his old friend. Tommy used a towel and wiped away the sweat on his face. Trying not to make eye contact with Kim.
"Yeah, after I'm done teaching a class I like to workout" he replied. Rocky just couldn't handle it anymore he walked right up to Tommy's face.
"Okay buddy old pale, why didn't you cal us earlier like when Zedd returned" yelled Rocky like a wild man.
"Hey Roc come on chill out" said Adam in a calm voice.
"Yeah I'm sure Tommy has a perfectly good reason" said Aisha helping Adam out. During all of this Kim had remained silent. Tommy had changed his hair was shorter and he was once again a lone ranger.
"Look I have my reason but that's none of your concern. I got to go, so I'll see you guys around. When Zedd attacks either I, Justin or D-cell will contact you bye" said Tommy walking of not looking at any of them. Kim just stared at him as he walked away. She felt so helpless.
I was late out, but Tommy didn't care as he walked along side the beach. Stars covered the sky. He felt someone's shadow on him. So he stopped right where he was.
"Tommy you want to talk" asked Aisha in a friendly sweet voice. She still was the caring friend she always had been.
"Sure" said Tommy walking over to her. And both took a seat on the sand just watching the waves.
"Tommy I'm real sorry about what happened between you and Kim. I know you really loved her" said Aisha. Tommy sort of just shivered.
"Thanks but it's in the past" he said not looking at her.
Aisha then faced him eye to eye
"So you two have talked about it" she said. Tommy turned his head away from her.
"No, I haven't even seen her sense Divatox captured her and Jason" Tommy said softly. Aisha knew it had been long but she didn't want it to be true. She had seen these two go through things far worse, but now.
"You mean to tell me you haven't seen or spoken to her sense then why?" she asked
Tommy slowly got up and started walking away. "Thanks for being my friend Aisha, but there are just some things you can't fix I'll see you around" he said and he was gone. Leaving Aisha alone in her thoughts.
The next day the gang was at Tommy's Karate school. Jason and Adam were helping Tommy teach his class. While Justin, Rocky and the girls sat in the back to watch.
"Man I don't get it we've been friends for a while and he doesn't even call us to tell us he need help" said Rocky. Justin just shook his head if he only knew.
"Give him time Rocky he's had a hard five months" said Justin. Kim's eyes seemed to fall.
"Will give him all the time he needs Justin, thanks" said Kim. Aisha smiled Kim was coming through like she always had.
Zedd laughed as he watched the rangers from his dimension, "Time is one thing you do not have rangers" said Zedd as he laughed.
Later that day Tommy and the others not including Justin were in the mountains going for a hike. Jason and Tommy were way up in the lead leaving Adam and Rocky with the girls.
The two friends walked side bye side,
"So when was the last time you even spoke to her, until she came back a few days ago?" asked Jason, Tommy just shrugged.
"At the tournament for the shelter" replied Tommy. Jason couldn't believe it.
"Then you don't know do you?" asked Jason now staring Tommy in the eyes. Tommy just looked at him annoyed trying to break free.
"Know what" Tommy yelled.
Jason was silent for a moment, voices were heading their way, finally.
"Two years ago Kim's parent's died in a car accident. Everyone was for sure you knew" said Jason. Tommy head just fell and he walked away from Jason.
"I didn't, things are different now I can't go back" said Tommy leading way. Jason stayed behind for a minute to wait for the others. When the four made their way.
"Where Tommy?" asked Rocky aloud looking around. Jason looked at Adam and Aisha in the eyes. Kim had just about enough and took off after Tommy. Jason was about to go after her when Aisha stopped him.
"They have to work this out Jason, for themselves" said Aisha softly. Adam walked right behind her.
"Yeah we've done what we can it's up to them now" said Adam.
Kim had made it right behind Tommy a few inches away. Tommy didn't have to turn around to know who it was.
"Why didn't you tell me" he finally said. Kim's heart ached of the memory of her parent's death. Tears fell from her cheeks.
"It just happened everything just messed up some of which is my fault. I had already hurt you once. I didn't want to get you involved in my pain" she said. Tommy took a soft breath,
"You did hurt me but I would have been there for you no matter what" he said still not facing her.
"I know and that's why I didn't tell you. You were always there for me but things were different then" she said wiping away her tears. Tommy's heart hurt he knew things had changed.
"I know" he said softly
Jason and his friends were making their way back down when ton's of putties appeared.
"Looks like its are time now" said Rocky getting into his fighting stance. Staring at his friends then at the clay heads.
"Watch your backs lets take them down guys, the rangers are back" said Jason doing a jump sidekick hitting one of the putties to the ground.
Tommy still was looking of hat was out in front of him, he had not yet faced Kim. Then out of nowhere putty jumped Kim. Her scream made Tommy turn around, heart pounding. Kim was at the ledge of the mountain with putty looking down at her.
"Hang on Kim" said Tommy looking at the attacker getting ready to make his move. Tommy jumped up in the air doing a spin and then bam! Back kicked the putty down on the ground. Tommy got a hold of him self and rushed to save Kim. He held out his arms for her to grab. She grubbed then right away and held on tight. Tommy could tell she was scared too death.
"Don't worry I gotchya" said Tommy with his caring eyes as he pulled her up. For a moment he stared her in the eyes and then brought her into a hug. Assuring her that everything was okay.
"You're okay now, you're alright" he said over and over. Then Tommy's watch beeped. He let go from the hug.
"This is Tommy what's up" he said
Jason responded "Tommy we need you two, Putties are all over" Tommy looked at Kim. "Were on our way"
Jason and the others were doing their best until Tommy and Kim would get there. Putties surrounded Jason and his friends. Then a blast came from behind. It was Tommy and Kim to the rescue.
"Your going to be sorry clay brains" said Tommy jumping in the air blasting all the putties away. When it was over Jason walked over to Tommy.
"Thanks buddy" he said putting out his hand. Everyone looked at Tommy. Tommy look at Jason and then to the hand. Slowly Tommy reached out his hand and shook Jason. And as if nothing happened Tommy let go and walked away from his friends.
All of them stood behind watching him leave none of them said a word.
