Disclaimer: I do not own anyone you recognize. They either are owned by Haim Saban or in the case of Bill Clinton, himself (though you will only see his voice but he'll never be present in the fic). Also, although Rajon is not mine, I do claim his backstory.
Ryan Oliver took a deep breath trying not to break down into tears. He had to get something off his chest first. He set Tommy's body down gently on the floor even though he was no longer alive. He stood up and walked up to the console that was right underneath Zordon.
"My son is dead because of you!" He yelled.
"MR. OLIVER…."
"No! You gave him the powers that were stolen from him. You didn't protect him from some crazy monster who is hell bent on destroying Earth. You're as guilty as Vile is."
"MR. OLVER I AM TRULY SORRY THAT TOMMY HAS DIED. I WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO SAVE HIM."
"Well obviously you didn't because he was on the moon for a couple of weeks along with Jason, Zack, Rajon, and a bunch of innocent people whose only crime is being good fighters. What are you doing to save them before they all come back dead like my son?"
Zordon closed his eyes for a brief moment. "MR. OLVER WE ARE SEARCHING FOR AWAY TO SAVE THEM. I AM CURRENTLY SCANNING WHERE JASON TELEPORTED TO AND FROM BUT I AM NOT FINDING A TRACE. THEY ARE MOST LIKELY BLOCKING ACCESS TO AND FROM THE MOON."
"You know what Tommy's last words were? He said "it's finally over". He welcomed dying because he was freed from the pain. Look at him Zordon! His throat was slashed and it looks like something went through his chest. They were set on killing him."
The Rangers stood back unsure of what to say. They had all been shocked when Jason teleported down with Tommy in his arms. Alpha stood above Tommy's body scanning but shook its head. Ryan thankfully wasn't looking or it would have set him off even more.
Ryan scooped up Tommy's body into his arms. "Teleport me down to Earth now."
Zordon complied and sent both away.
"Zordon what are we going to do to save the others," Kat asked.
"I AM TRYING TO CONTACT ANOTHER RANGER TEAM AT THE MOMENT. THEY ARE CURRENTLY OFF THEIR PLANET AND ARE NOT ANSWERING. ONCE I CONTACT THEM, I WILL ASK THEM TO COME TO EARTH TO HELP US."
"Are they Apholo and Max," Adam asked.
Zordon shook his head. "NO, THIS TEAM IS FROM KO-35. I'M ALSO TRYING TO CONTACT AQUITAR BUT THEY ARE AT THE MOMENT FIGHTING THEIR OWN BATTLES ON THEIR PLANET. HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE HELP SOON."
