One Winged Lion: Part 2

((Tommy's POV))
Another week, another monster has been defeated. To celebrate, I get a smoothie at juice bar. Everyone else is there expect Zack, who is at the command center again. Since our fight, Zack's power coin has been acting strange. He has been to the command center at least every week for a while. It is odd. During a battle with one of Rita's monster, Zack's power coin works fine. He fights fine and his zord works as normal. It is after the battle when we have the problems. Sometimes, Zack would be unstable on his feet for a few minutes and just need to sit down for a bit. Sometimes, he would throw up because something was upsetting his stomach. Sometimes, he would just collapse. Most of time, we are able to teleport him back to the Command Center. Few minutes later, he would regain conscience and he wouldn't remember why he collapses in the first place.
I thought those moments freak me out. It wasn't until recently that Zack's collapses turn into a whole different thing. He would go unconscious and when we go over to help him. A black shield would appear and shock us away. It wouldn't let anyone near him until it disappears. The shield would only last for a few minutes before it disappeared and Zack woke up again. He would have no clue what he just did. When we told Zordon about it, he said that he didn't have an answer. He did have some theories.
Two week ago
"I thought Zack's power coin would return to normal after our fight, Zordon. It has been a few months now and his power coin still isn't back to normal. Now, it is affecting Zack." I said. Even if I was under a spell at the time, I haven't really forgiven myself on what is happening to Zack. It is my fault that he is like this.
"Tommy, you must understand. Power coins are not easy to understand especially the black power coin. I and Alpha have been work tirelessly to understand what is happening to Zack and his power coin." Zordon said.
"Why is the black power coin more difficult than the others?" Kim said as she came from behind me.
"Black power coin represents protection. It protects others and itself from invaders. It is quite possible when we work to understand it and help Zack. His power coin could be putting up shields and other defenses to protect it which could be also what is causing Zack's collapses." Zordon said.
"So, it is quite possible that the power coin is draining Zack of energy to protect itself. If we stop working with it, Zack's collapses may stop." Billy said.
"Quite possible but when we just monitor the power coin. It has been sending out large amount of energy in Zack's presence. It also has bad habit of mess with our equipment. So, we never get clear reading on the power coin." Zordon said.
"We are damn if we do nothing and we are damn if we do something. How mess up is that?" Jason said.
"You are correct but we must continue to try." Zordon said.
"Hey, everyone is talking about me and I am not here. No fair." Zack said as he walks into the command area.
"He is impossible. He never lies down when he is supposed to be resting. I am almost want to tie him down to the bed." Trini said as she follows behind Zack. Zack stick his tongue at Trini. She hit his arm playfully.
"Blah…I had plenty of rest. Beside, I spend way to much time with the bed to begin with. I and the bed need a separation from each other." Zack said with a smile.
"How are you, buddy?" Jason said.
"Better. I hope Zordon finds out what is wrong with my power coin. This is really starting to cramp my style." Zack said cheerfully.
"What the voices? Have they said anything?" I said as I lean over to Zack.
"Nope…they are gone. Now, I get shiny dreams which I cannot really see. It almost makes me wish that I had the voices back. At least, I understand them." Zack said
"Don't worry. We figure it out." I said.
"I plan on it. I still own you a sparring match." Zack said.
"I hold you to your word that you don't sneak off." I said.
"Me? Sneaky? Never." Zack said with a grin.
End of Flashback
I couldn't help but chuckle at the memory. After everything he has been though, he still has this cheerful out look. I wish I could say the same thing for myself.
"Hey, Tommy. How about we have a quick match before class?" Jason shouts from the mats.
"Sure thing. I am coming." I said as I leave the counter. Maybe, a quick spar would help.
"My queen, it is ready." Finster said as he enters the viewing room.
"Wonderful, Finster. Come let us go to them." Rita said as she steps down the steps. Finster follows his queen as they walk into a portal. They reappear in the Dark Dimension. It hasn't change much since the fight between the black and green ranger. But in the middle of the room, there were five candles on five stands. The candles were black, green, pink, blue, and yellow.
"Tell Goldar to take the other candles to the Dimension of Doom expect the green one." Rita said.
"As you wish my queen." Finster said as he bows. He disappears into the fog.
"Soon, I will have you and the world." Rita said as she laughs.
