I'm baaack! Apologies for the wait, life got a little busy. Oh, and in case the last chapter didn't make sense, that was Jason fighting the spell. The darkness was the spell, and the lightning bolt that came in and helped Jase was the cure. Okay. Now that that's out of the way, next chapter! Takes place at the same time as last chapter, they start at the same point in time.
Oh, and I don't own anything in this story except the trenzortium. That's my made-up magical flower. But anything else, specifically the Power Rangers, are owned by Saban and etc., not me. This story is purely for entertainment, not for gain, blah blah blah blah, don't sue me.
Three beams of light touched down in the Command Center, revealing Kim, Zach, and Alpha.
"We're back you guys!" Kim called.
Morphenomenal! Did you retrieve the trenzortium?"
"Right here." Kim went over to Billy and opened her cupped hands, showing the flower she held. Billy carefully tool the flower and added it to the concoction on the table in front of him.
"Anything happen while we were gone?" Zach asked.
Trini, Billy, and Tommy shared a look.
"Tommy, can you bring Jason here?
"Sure Billy."
A small, cot-like bed materialized behind Billy. Tommy heaved Jason up, and gently laid him down. Billy picked up the vial with the cure and approached Jason, who was extremely pale, his breathing shallow.
Gently opening Jason's mouth, Billy poured the cure down his throat, making sure Jason swallowed all of it.
The rangers watched with baited breath, desperately praying that they weren't too late.
Jason shifted, and his breathing started to deepen and even out. His color started returning. After a moment, he sighed, and his tensed body relaxed.
"Jason is no longer in any danger." Zordon said. "The cure has done its work."
The rangers all sighed in relief, then watched in amazement as Jason opened his eyes.
"Jason?" Zach asked, nervously.
The red ranger groaned and put a hand to his head, then looked around. "Guys?"
"Jason!"
"You're alright!"
"What happened?"
"You were hit with one of Rita's spells." Trini explained. "Goldar hit you with it in the park. Anything you saw after that was a hallucination brought upon by the spell."
"…oh." Jason blinked, relieved. With some difficultly, he sat up. The other rangers all enveloped him in a massive group hug.
"You really scared us there, man."
"We're so glad you're alright."
"Good to be back." Jason said, standing.
"I'm so happy you are alright, Jason! Oh, my circuits are overloading."
"Thanks Alpha."
"I'm pleased to see you are alright, Jason."
"Thanks, Zordon. It's good to be back."
