AUTHOR'S NOTEDISCLAIMER

I wasn't happy with the way I ended Power Play, so I decided to put in more chapters. Here is a list who reviewed my last chapter to the letter:

Arwennicole: I think Jason got me a little sick. Thank Goldar shudders great story. At least Jason was able to confront him. Love all your work. Write more soon.

Navy-Thunder: That was a nice short fanfiction. Good seeing fighting with Goldar payed off for Jason. I look forward to some more of your work.

DTM666: That's right, Jason. Thank Goldar. At least you didn't quip about owing him one. Seriously, good stuff.

BloriConra4Ever: I liked it. I hope you consider a sequel, see what happened to Tommy in more detail, or something.

JadeAlmasy: hey great story! this is a wonderful story the chapters could be a little long no afence, but Im not complaining. keep up the good work and update soon! sorry my last review was really saposta be for the whole story i thought i was at the end till I saw that there were 7 chapters anyways all the stuff that I said in the other review still count i hope you do a story on Tommys past! keep up the good work on ALL of your storys!

As usual, original characters belong to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. I only own Jason's dad.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Jason and Tommy were sparring furiously. They were both unaware that they were being watched by their friends.

"Is it me, or does Jason seem a bit off?" Trini queried softly.

"Yes, he does seem a bit preoccupied," Billy agreed.

"I bet it's because he hasn't talked to us about what happened with his real dad a couple of weeks ago," Kimberly surmised.

"What I don't get is why he won't talk to us," Zack said in frustration.

"His stupid male macho pride," Kimberly grumbled.

"Hey! Not all males display an overexertion of masculinity!" Billy objected.

"What'd he say?" Kimberly wondered.

"He said not all guys act that way," Trini translated. Meanwhile, Tommy could sense Jason's tenseness as they fought.

"Hey, you okay, bro?" the Green Ranger questioned.

"Fine," the Red Ranger growled. He executed a Tornado Kick only to have the other boy knock him off his feet.

"If you're fine, then how I come I just wiped the floor with you?" Tommy asked, semi-jokingly. Jason picked himself up.

"Just forget it," he snapped. Before Tommy could stop him, he headed for the youth center's exit.

"Jason? Where are you going?" Kimberly wondered in surprise.

"Home. Don't feel like hangin' out anymore," Jason replied. He quickly left before the others could question him further. The boy began the long walk back to his house. All of a sudden, a car screeched to a stop besides him.

"Huh? What?" Though caught off-guard, the teen attempted to fight the men that suddenly surrounded him. However, one of the assailants brought out a cloth and put it over Jason's nose and mouth. With a moan, Jason slumped over and he was put in the car, which made a squealing noise as it zoomed down the road.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I know two weeks is a long time between the events, but I figured it fit in with Jason's personality.
