After about an hour had gone by Tommy realized that he was not going to get any sleep than from what he has had so far. So, with his eyes still closed he slowly pulled the covers off of him and made his way to get washed up.
Tommy originally had no intention to stay home for too long, he knew that Mondo would plan another attack before the day was over with so he had to be prepared for it.
Just as Tommy started to finish getting changed that was when his communicator went off. Tommy activated it.
"Tommy here, go ahead." Tommy said. " Tommy?" Came the familiar voice of Adam Park. "Adam? What is it?" Tommy asked. "Look, do you think you can come to the power chamber, I think something weird is going on." Adam said.
"Yeah sure, I was actually headed there anyway." Tommy said. "Just give me a few more minutes and I'll be there." Tommy said as he went to grab a few more things and stuff them into his bag.
"Okay, I'll be waiting." Adam said. "Tommy?" Adam began. "Yeah?" Tommy asked as he stopped what he was doing for a moment. " Did Rocky talk to my parents yet?" Adam asked. Tommy paused for a bit before he finally answered.
"Yeah, he did…" Tommy said. "Good. I better let you go now. I'll talk to you soon." Adam said.
"Yeah, see you in a bit." Tommy said. " Bye." He then ended the communication. As soon as the call ended Tommy had just finished packing. He took one last look around his room and then headed out the door. When he was sure it was safe, he teleported out.
Back at Rocky's house, Rocky had started to get restless. He did not feel comfortable sitting around as he waited for Mondo to attack.
He knew he had to be productive somehow, and even though he was somewhat tired, he had managed to get some rest, so with that in mind he decided to call Aisha.
Closing his bedroom door he made sure he was alone upstairs. Taking a deep breath he activated his communicator. This would be the first time he would ever use it while at home, but he just had to contact her, and it was not safe to call by phone, not with the chance of someone picking up the phone and listening in on their conversation.
A second later and Rocky activated his communicator. "Aisha here." Came Aisha's voice. "Rocky what's wrong?" Aisha asked. "Where are you?" She quickly asked. "Um look, we need to make this fast, but I think we should head to the power chamber." Rocky said. "Why?" Aisha asked after a moment of silence.
"I just got this feeling that us staying at home like this is not going to be something we should be doing right now." Rocky said.
"You're calling from home?" Aisha asked. "I know, I know, but I checked upstairs and no one is around." Rocky said. "And besides, I want to make sure Adam is okay. I talked to his parents and they bought my story. I just hope they don't call here and ask for him." Rocky said.
"Fine, we'll head to the power chamber. Just find a safe place to teleport. Should we contact Tommy?" Aisha asked. "No point. I bet you he's already headed there. Just call the others and tell them it's time to head to the power chamber." Rocky said.
"Will do, I'll see you soon." Aisha said. "Right. See you." Rocky said as he then ended the call. When he was done he quickly went to get ready.
Of course, little did Rocky know that his mother just happened to have made her way up stairs and had the phone in her hand. It was Adam's mother on the other line and she wanted to talk to Rocky. As she was about to knock on her sons door, that was when she heard the words 'power chamber'. She could not help but listen in more on the conversation. When she knew Rocky finished with talking to Aisha, she decided it was best not to mention to her son she was listening to his conversation. She started to walk away. She just made it to her bedroom just in time before Rocky came out.
As Rocky came out of his room, he noticed his mother was in her room. He went towards it and knocked on her door. 'Mom? I'm just heading over towards Tommy's, it's important, I'll be home late." Rocky said. "Mom?" Rocky asked as he waited for her to answer.
"Yeah, sure honey. But don't be too late." She said. "Alright, I'll see you in a bit. I love you." Rocky said.
"I love you too." Mrs. Desantos said. She then waited for Rocky to leave and as she peered out her door she made sure he was out the front door before she answered the phone again. She could now hear Adam's mother calling her name on the other line. Mrs. Desantos took a deep breath before answering.
"Hi, Mrs. Park. Sorry about that." She said. "What is going on, where is Rocky going, and is my son with him?" She asked. "About that…look, we need to talk. I think there is something that we need to discuss that concerns our sons." Mrs. Desantos said. She waited for a moment for Adam's mom to answer again.
"Why, what's wrong? Was my son with him?" Mrs. Park asked. "No…but you should really come here. We really need to talk." Mrs. Desantos said. Sighing, Mrs. Park decided to come over, she would be bringing along with her Adam's father.
As she hung up the phone she started to get an awful feeling in the pit of her stomach. What was a power chamber? She wondered. She dreaded what it could be. She only hoped that her son was okay.
When Tommy arrived at the power chamber Adam had greeted him the moment he showed up. Tommy could tell something was bothering him.
"What's wrong, are you feeling okay?" Tommy asked as he looked down at Adam's leg. Adam followed his worried gaze.
"I'm fine. But that is not what I need to talk to you about." Adam said urgently. Tommy looked at him oddly.
"What is it?" Tommy asked. "It's Alpha." Adam said. "Is he okay?" Tommy asked worried. "Yeah, he's fine." Adam said. "Then what's the problem?" Tommy demanded.
Adam sighed as he glanced over towards the room Alpha just disappeared into. "I think he's hiding something from me...from us." Adam said.
"What makes you say that?" Tommy asked curiously. "He's just been acting like it. You know? Like he's hiding something. He keeps disappearing and when he's around here he tries to shoo me away for some reason. Call me crazy, but something weird is going on. Do you know why he could be acting like this?" Adam asked as he folded his arms together and waited patiently for an answer.
Tommy let out a worried look. He figured it was about time to let Adam know what Jason had done. Sighing, he gave Adam a very serious look as he said in a stern voice...
"It's because of what Jason did." Tommy said. "What did Jason do?" Adam asked. "He told his parents he was a power ranger." Tommy, he looked down sadly.
"Oh…" Was all Adam could say, Tommy let out a tired sigh. "Alpha is working on something for Zordon and for the time being you should just not bother Alpha." Tommy warned him.
"Is Jason going to lose his powers?" Adam asked. "I think so. Maybe they are trying to figure out whom to replace him with..." Tommy said sadly.
"But the gold ranger powers belong to Trey. Would it be possible to transfer the powers without Trey knowing?" Adam asked.
"No. And besides Zordon would never do something like that to Trey. Trey would be contacted." Tommy said.
"But we don't know anyone else who can take the Gold Ranger powers." Adam said with worry.
"Not true." Tommy replied. " Then who?" Adam asked, now curious. "I don't know. But I think that is one of the things Alpha is working on. He's trying to find someone suitable to replace Jason. Whomever he chooses, don't expect him to be from Earth." Tommy said in a very serious voice.
"Wait a minute, what about Billy? Zordon trusts Billy more than any of us I would think. Why not him? After all, we did originally think it was him who was going to be the gold ranger." Adam said.
Tommy sighed. "It's more complicated than that Adam." Tommy said sternly. "Then what are we supposed to assume?" Adam demanded.
"Does Zordon even trusts us anymore?" Adam asked. "Of course he does." Tommy said. "You don't sound so sure about that." Adam said.
Just then both of them stopped what they were saying as they saw Alpha come back in the room. Both of them remained where they were and stayed silent as they watched Alpha for a bit. Tommy then moved Adam to a corner and away from Alpha.
And in a serious voice Tommy said..."Look, now is not the time for this. We have work to do, so just leave it alone for now." Tommy said firmly as he gave Adam a last warning look before he turned around and left.
As soon as Tommy left Adam let out a frustrated sigh. He then closed his eyes as he realized Tommy was now more frustrated than anyone of them. Adam knew that Tommy would only act this way under great stress, and even then it would be rare for him to act like this. He had to keep his thoughts to himself. He just wished the others would get here soon.
