((Zack's POV))
The voices are back. I don't know but I swear they sound familiar. I wish they would be quiet. I was taking a perfectly nice nap. For a brief moment, I open my eyes. Everything was so blurry and off. It didn't help matters that there was a white light right in my face. Even with the light, I couldn't keep my eyes open. I fell back into the darkness. The next time I woke up, everything was clearer. I stiff in places that I don't care to talk about. I have no clue where I am either. The last thing, I remember was Jason got me out of The Dimension of Weirdness. Now, I am in a glowing bed with flashing lights. I know I am in the Commander Center but I never been this part of it before.
As much as I love to stay in the glowing bed, I want to get up now. The second that I start to move around, some loud alarm began to buzz. Out of the corner of my eyes, Alpha comes running in.
"Zack, you are awake!" Alpha Five said as he came into the room. He touches a console, the lights stop blinking, and the glass move away from me.
"Hey, little guy. It is good to see your face." I said as I slowly get up from the bed. My muscles weren't too happy with that fact.
"Are you alright, Zack? You should lie down some more." Alpha Five said.
"Nah, I don't think so. The bed and I are friends but it is time for us to part ways." I said with a smile. I lean on the arm that broken with the green ranger. To my surprise, my arm didn't hurt. I touch my arm and it was complete healed.
"Alpha, why isn't my arm broke anymore? Where am I? I don't remember this part of the Command Center." I said as I look around.
"It is the healing chamber. Zordon design it as soon as we were active as power rangers. It just got finish a few days before the green ranger attack the Command Center. The healing chamber is a device that aiding and speeds up the process that your body would do naturally. Normally, a broken arm would take weeks to heal but in the healing chamber, it takes hours." Alpha said.
"So, how many hours have I been out?" I said.
"You have been unconscious for five hours." Alpha said. A nasty thought pop into my head.
"Oh, crap. What about my parents? I bet they are flipping right now. I need to call them." I said.
"Don't worry. Trini handled your parents but it will wise to call them soon. Probably, after Zordon talks to you, he is curious about what happened in the Dark Dimension." Alpha said.
"Well, let get the show on the road." I said I slip off of the bed. The moment my feet hit the floor, they almost give out on me. I grip onto the bed to prevent myself from falling onto the floor.
"Easy there, Zack. Here, let me help you." Alpha said as he let me use his shoulders to stead my legs.
"Thanks, man." I said as he helps me to where Zordon was. It was totally silent and dark. It seems Zordon send everyone home to get some rest. Good for him.
"Hey, Zordon!" I said as I step into the power chamber with Alpha's help.
"Welcome back, Zackary." Zordon said. I look up to my mentor back in the glowing tube. I couldn't help but be happy to see Zordon again. It has been a rough time without him.
"Same can be said about you, Zordon." I said with a smile.
"Jason told what he saw in the Dark Dimension before he left for home. I will like to your side of the story." Zordon said.
I took a deep breath as I told the story from beginning to end. Once my story was finish, there was silent. It was creepy. I couldn't help but ask the biggest question on my mind.
"Why were I and Tommy glowing, Zordon? What was with the voices?" I said. Why do I feel I am not going to like the answer to the question?
"You must understand that the power coins are connecting to you in ways that I never can fully understand. I do know that the connection increases and modify your exist talents and skills. You have may notice those changes or not but they are there. As long you are power rangers, the changes will continue." Zordon said.
"That still doesn't answer my question." I said.
"I am getting to that, Zackary. Please be patient. The color of power coins often tells which skills or talents is increase. Blue represents intelligence and knowledge. Pink represents healing and love. Yellow represents spirit and human connections. Red represents fortitude and leadership. Green represents strength." Zordon said.
"Billy's coin makes Billy smarter but he really doesn't need it. Kim's coin makes her more lovable. Trini's coin makes people draw more people to her. Jason's coin gives more of a six sense about things. That explains why Tommy was able to beat us so easily. The power coin made him stronger." I said.
"Yes, Zack, that is correct in respects. With Rita's help, Tommy was able to tap into the full power of his coin." Zordon said.
"And my color represent?" I said.
"Black represents balance and protection. The power coin protects you for serious harm like when you fought the Black Knight. The black coin also serves as a balance. When another color is absence, the black ranger steps up to fill full the position. You have done on several situations that I know of." Zordon said.
"I have?" I said as Zordon nods.
"I believe when Tommy touch you with his power coin, your power coin awoken. When Tommy tried to over power you, your power took action. It began to seek to balance out and protect you by absorb his power into yourself. Despite what you may think, this was your doing." Zordon said. Okay, that threw me for a loop. I think I need to sit down. I knew I wouldn't like answer. Well, it explain why I feel like a truck ran me over after my fight. It doesn't explain that voices.
I caused those voices, too. But that doesn't make any sense? I really don't want to ask about the voice. I still creep out by that. Silence took over the Commander Center. This was a lot to take in one sitting.
"Do you think we will be able to defeat Tommy, Zordon?" I said.
"I have no doubt in your skills and abilities as rangers." Zordon said.
"Before everyone gets together to kick some green ranger's butt, I like to make a phone call." I said.
"You should rest, Zack." Alpha said.
"I am fine, Alpha. The guys need me. We need to stop him before he does something he regrets." I said.
"Who are you calling, Zack?" Zordon asks.
"My parents…I am sure they are going have some interesting things to say about my disappearance." I said.
That got a few laughs and chuckles out of everyone. Good because we going to need it.
