" Jason, he's still down there!" Adam said in a frantic voice. " What do you mean? He was with you?" Kimberly asked frightened and worried now. She glanced at the others and they all gave her confused looks.

" This must have been what he was planning? What happened?" Billy asked in as calm as a voice as he could give.

" Jason he…it sounded like he made a deal with Lord Zedd." Adam said his voice filled with worry.

" What kind of deal?" Rocky asked, in a slightly shaky voice. " Something about a trade…" Adam said as he began to think about what had just happened.

" A trade of what?" Aisha asked. Adam looked at her sadly and then he looked at Billy as he spoke. " I guess he wanted Lord Zedd to show me and prove to him that I was still alive and unharmed, and then he said he would give him his powers or himself for me…" Adam said gravely.

Billy began to shake his head in disbelief he could not believe Jason would make that kind of decision on his own.

" I'm going to try and contact him. See if he's okay." Billy said as he turned around to use his communicator. The others watched and waited as Billy tried to contact Jason.

" Jason, this is Billy, do you read me? Please answer us…" Billy asked. But there was no answer. He decided to try again. " Come on Jason. We need to know if you're okay." Billy said. But still there was no answer.

" Do you think Lord Zedd captured him?" Rocky asked in a worried voice. Billy gave him a grave look as he shook his head and tried again.

" Jason, I need you to contact us. Adam made it back safely. Please Jason, answer your communicator. Where are you?" Billy asked. But again, there was no answer, Billy sighed frustrated and then he tried again.

" I know you can here me. I have a feeling you escaped, so again, where are you now?" Billy now demanded in a firmer voice. But when there still was no answer Billy finally decided to end the call.

" No answer, I don't think he wants to be found." Rocky suggested. Billy though only sighed again in frustration.

Down by the beach, Jason had been running for a while now to keep away from Lord Zedd. When his communicator went off he finally stopped. Panting a bit he listened as Billy tried to get him to answer it, but when he heard that Adam made it back safely, he was grateful that his plan had so far worked.

Although he could sense the frustration in Billy's voice Jason only listened to the calls, he could not find it in him to answer them. There were still some things he needed to work out and now that Zedd has lost Adam as his leverage, Jason knew that it would be only a matter of time before Lord Zedd would start his manhunt for him…

Back at the power camber Billy had contacted the others and as soon as Tommy discovered Adam had returned, he was needless to say ecstatic. But his good mood vanished when Billy informed him of Jason's disappearance.

" Can't you just teleport him here? What's the big deal?" Tommy said with a little bit of an edge.

" He does not want to be found." Rocky added in. But Tommy gave him an annoyed look. " Like I care. He has caused me more problems than I need right now. He's acting all weird; it's not like him to do these rash things. Find him Billy, and teleport him back now." Tommy ordered.

" He's not letting me." Billy explained. Tommy gave him a strange look. " What do you mean he's not letting you?" Tommy asked confused.

" How can he do that?" Rocky asked with wonderment. Billy looked at them both as he tried the controls for teleportation. He demonstrated how he was unable to lock onto him.

" There see. He's blocking it somehow. He must have had all this planned out. Damn Jason, why are you doing this?" Billy mumbled as he looked up at the others.

" What do you think he could be planning?" Kat questioned. Billy looked at her and he frowned as he spoke.

" I don't know for sure." Billy admitted. " Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Zordon found out he told his parents the truth." Tommy suggested.

" He did what? Is he crazy? He could lose his powers?" Kimberly practically exclaimed in worry.

" Like he does not know that. Come on Kim, give him more credit, after all he got Adam back." Tommy pointed out. Kimberly folded her arms in worry.

" It will be okay." Tommy assured her. But he himself did not feel so certain. " He's playing a dangerous game, because once he comes back I think Zordon might take away his powers." Adam said. The others nodded their heads in agreement.

" God, I hope he knows what he's doing." Rocky muttered under his breath. " Oh Jason, please be okay…" Kimberly said gravely. The others all looked at her worried. Just then the alarms started to blare…
