Jason looked down at the eyes of his best friend who were staring back at him with resignation knowing he no longer had the strength to fight back. What was he doing? He couldn't do this.
Set him free. A voice echoed in his head.
His eyes flashed a moment and Tommy whispered something through his bloody lips. He said "I hate you."
He took the sword and made a stab at him but Tommy somehow had the wherewithal to roll out of the way. He tried to leg sweep him and suddenly Tommy was gone.
He looked over at Vile who made a motion behind him. he felt a sword go through him. he fell down and turned around to see Zack standing there.
Jason sat up gasping for air. He looked around and realized he was in the room he shared with Zack in the moon palace. He always had a variation of the same dream. Whatever Tommy said changed. It was never the same and the outcome changed too. He wished he knew what Tommy said before he stabbed him.
He got up out of bed and quickly left the room. He tried not to wake Zack who was snoring. He went out of the room and saw Rajon standing there. Jason was surprised to see him as Rajon stayed in his room all the time. Did he leave his room late at night? He didn't really care.
Rajon glared at him before walking away.
"Wait Rito," Jason called after him.
Rajon stopped, turned around to face him, and said "what?"
"Do you," Jason gulped unsure of how to phrase this question but it was something that had been on his mind ever since it happened. "Do you ever see Tommy?"
Rajon looked at him with confusion before saying "of course not. He's dead." he then went down the hall in the direction of the throne room.
Jason turned back and round trying to decide where he wanted to go. He looked at his watch. It was 2:45 AM in the morning. No one should be around. He teleported down to earth not caring that he wasn't in his 'uniform'.
He landed at the spot he visited at least once a week. He stood and looked at the makeshift grave marker. He knew he only had a few minutes before Zordon realized he was on Earth and sent the annoying Andros or some other Kerovian after him.
He sighed before saying, "I know you hate me. I couldn't stop myself. I can't stop myself. I try but I'm just…I'm just so lost. Vile is just looking out for me and even though I don't want to do it, I've gotta destroy Earth. Tommy if you just…"
He heard a noise from behind him and he said, "here to try again Andros?"
There was no answer. There was no high-pitched sound.
Jason didn't turn around to find out who it was. He felt a hand on his shoulder and it felt familiar. He just sank to his knees in front of the grave.
The person stood behind him not saying a word for the longest time. "I miss him too."
Jason felt guilt gnaw at him. he couldn't face the person behind him. he just said "I've gotta go." And teleported away.
Ryan watched Jason teleport away. He knew it had been risky to stand so close to Jason but he had heard what Jason had said. he knew his son's best friend was still in there. Zordon had told him about the high frequency noise they were using to try to snap Jason out of Vile's control but it hadn't worked yet because someone was always there to whisk Jason away.
"I'll bring them all back," Ryan said to Tommy's grave marker.
