Author's note: Nobody is reviewing this story anymore, I feel sad. I didn't get any reviews for the last two chapters and yet I am updating again. Before I put chapter 13 up, I want 5 reviews. 5! That's all I'm asking for, so at least I know people are still reading this story. I don't get 5 reviews, you don't get another chapter. So if you want the other chapter, let me know.

Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to a friend who has been a loyal reader throughout this whole story. However at the moment he is in the hospital, so this chapter is dedicated to him. Get well soon!

Disclaimer: Don't own em, don't wanna own em. Saban, Disney, and Buena Vista own em. (I knew it was Vista something! Buena, Alta, whatever!)
Chapter 12

Jason knew his fellow rangers did not know that he was against

them. He had acted all goody-goody towards them on the trip there, but

he was going to make them sorry they ever butted into his personal

life. He had slipped away while the others were devising a plan with

Zordon on how to defeat Rita. Once they had all gotten to the field,

they had realized they were without their leader. "Where'd Jason go?"

Billy asked. Trini shrugged. "We can't morph unless he is with us." she

said. Tommy shook his head. "Yes, we can. We do not need Jason, if he

wants to do this, let him. Come on guys, no matter where Jason is, Rita

needs to be defeated." he said, taking his morpher out of his pocket.

The 4 of them morphed. "Tommy, look!" Billy called. Tommy looked over

to the spot where Billy was pointing. "It's Jason." Kimberly said.

Billy nodded. "Yes. But it isn't our Jason." he said. Kimberly looked

confused. "What do you mean?" she asked. Tommy frowned. "It's Jason

alright, but it's not our Jason. Jason is evil, you guys. We can't

destroy him, we can't turn against each other." he said, quoting

Zordon's favorite saying. Billy shook his head. "He wants us to fight

him. He is angry at us for butting into his life. He did this on

purpose." he said, as Jason wandered over to them. "Hey guys." he said,

a little too nicely for Tommy's liking. "Jason, stop fooling around. We

have a job to do. Rita needs to be destroyed, so either help us or get

out of the way." he said. Jason put his hand out to stop him. "Rita

isn't here. I made that little call. I had to get you guys here

somehow, didn't I?" he asked, an evil smile on his face. "You made that

call? Why Jason?" Trini asked. He shrugged. "Nobody listened to me. I

had to make them listen somehow." he said, nonchalantly. "But Jason,

remember what happened to Tommy last time one of us became evil?" Billy

asked. They knew that if they kept him talking, he wouldn't have the

time to do anything to them. He nodded. "Yes. But see Tommy was new at

the time. He wasn't very powerful. But as the leader, I am the most

powerful." he said. Kimberly sighed. She thought for a moment, then

spoke up. "Jason, please, don't do this. This isn't you, this is

someone else. You were overtaken by evil," she said. He shook his head.

"This is me, Kimberly. I've changed a lot. That's what abuse does to

you, ya know. It changes you as a person, and you learn not to trust

anybody." he said. "But Jason, you know you can trust us. We have

always been there for you. None of us would hurt you, we love you to

much to do that." he said. Billy nodded. "Yeah man. We've always looked

up to you. You can't do this to us." he said. Jason was silent for a

moment. Just then a jolt of energy escaped from his fingers and shot

right through Tommy and knocked him to the ground. He was motionless,

though he was conscience. Billy whirled around and released a jolt of

energy so that it shot through Jason. He just laughed. "It won't work

Billy. Remember that I'm the most powerful. I can just take anything

you shoot at me, and shoot it right back to you." he said. Billy

thought for a second. Then he got an idea. "Jason, remember when we all

first became rangers? You, Kim Trini, Zack, and I? We said that we

would never turn against each other. You are breaking that oath

Jason." he said. Jason shook his head. "Nuh-uh. I'm not breaking any

oath. But like I said Trini, that's what abuse does to you. But none of

you would ever know about that." he said. Trini sighed and looked at

her friend. "Jason, abuse happens to those people who are not strong

enough to deal with it. And abuse does not make you turn against your

friends, not when it is someone like you, Jason. You are stronger than

that." she said. Trini leaned over to whisper something in Billy's ear.

"Stall him for a second. I think we need to bring in Leo and have him

talk to Jason, he went through the same thing." she said. Billy nodded.

"Jason man, don't do this to us. Can't you see how much you are

scaring

the girls? And Tommy and myself...you're scaring us. Look at what you

did to Tommy. You hurt him. Please Jason." he pleaded. Jason looked

around him. Suddenly he saw Trini coming up behind her with some

uniformed officers and a teenage boy following behind. "Jason, please,

don't do this. Your scaring your friends. This is not going to help

you

at all. I did not turn on my friends when it happened to me, instead I

turned to them. I needed them to help me through the hard times, and

so

do you. Your friends want to help Jason, and from what I am seeing and

hearing, you will not let them." the guy said. "Jason, listen to Leo.

He has been through this before, and he can help you. If you don't let

him, these cops are going to have to arrest you for assaulting us."

Billy said. The other rangers had all transformed back themselves, even

Tommy, even though he was still injured.
