((Tommy's POV))
I am free. They defeated me in battle and remove Rita's spell. To be honest, I don't how I am to feel about it. I feel so lost and empty. It like something was ripped away from me. Part of me, it is upset and angry at the lost. Another part of me is graceful. I saw what I was doing to the city and its people. I was lucky no one has been killed. I don't think my conscience could have handled it. Of course, when I was with Rita, I had no conscience.
The feeling of lost was replaced with a feeling of belonging. The other power rangers welcome me with open arms even Zack which surprises me. Kim has point herself as a guide to me. I like her but I don't know how far those feelings go yet. Trying to figure what Billy is talking is equal as amusing as watching Trini telling us what he said. I had found a wonderful sparring partner in Jason. I would like to have a friendly spar with Zack. Zack has been friendly and polite but still quite caution of me. Zack hasn't allowed himself to be alone with me. A stab of guilt stabs my heart. But can I really blame him? I did try to kill him.
We need to talk but getting him alone is a pain. Finally, I got up the nerve and approach him.
"We need to talk." I said. Zack looks up from his sundae and sighs. He pushes his dish away and got to his feet.
"Lead the way." Zack said. Silence reign between us as we walk out of the juice bar. The juice bar was a short distance to the park.
"What do you want to talk about, Tommy?" Zack said.
"About what happened in the Dark Dimension?" I said.
"Dude, I forgave you awhile back for that. You were under Rita's spell. I came out of it alive and so did you." Zack said as he walks ahead of me.
"Then why are you avoiding me?" I said as I reach out to grab him. A sharp bolt of light hit my hand and I jump back in shock. He turns around to look at me.
"It looks like I may have forgiven you but I don't think my power coin has." Zack said as he reaches out from behind his back. He put his morpher and his power coin was glowing. The hairs on my neck were standing straight up. The glowing morpher was almost issue me a warning. The next time I came close to Zack, it would hurt.
"Have you told Zordon yet?" I said.
"This is the first time, this has happened. I have no clue that it was going to shock you. The only warnings I get are the voices in my head." Zack said.
"You have voices in your head." I said.
"I can blame you for that, Tommy. I didn't start having the voices in my head until we fought. You don't hear the voices anymore, do you?" Zack said. My eyes widen as I remember the glowing and the voices.
"No, they disappear after we fought, Zack." I said. Zack sighs as he takes a seat on the bench.
"Great, it is nice to know that I am going insane. I thought they would go away after we defeat you. I guess I was wrong. Nothing is ever easy when you are a power ranger." Zack said.
"You are right about that. So, do the voices happen a lot?" I asked as I sit next to him. I am glad that the coin didn't zap me again.
"Nope, they talk only happen when you are around. They must have some serious grudge against you. They aren't happy that you are around. I told Zordon and Alpha is going to run some tests." Zack said.
"That is good." I said. Something was bugging me. It has been nagging me in the back of my head for a while now.
"Why were you holding back while we fought the first time? In Dark Dimension, I would have sworn I was fighting someone different." I said.
"You tend to fight differently when your life in on the line." Zack said. Ouch but I can understand his point.
"Point taken but I could feel that you were holding back. Your fighting style is almost good as Jason's style. I just want to know why." I said.
"Honestly, I don't know. I haven't really thought about it until you point it out." Zack said.
"Goldar and Rita saw our fight. I don't think they are going to underestimate you anymore." I said.
"Great, make my life more confusing." Zack said.
"If you make you feel better, I am on the top on their hit list." I said.
"Wait a minute, I doubt Rita probably doesn't even use a list. She probably pick at random." Zack said with a grin. I chuckles softly at his joke.
"I would shake your hand and say we are cool. I will after I get my power coin fix." Zack said.
"I will take up on that offer." I said with a grin.
"Now tell me what the deal between you and Kim is?" Zack said.
"No…Nothing." I said.
Zack toss his head back and laugh.
