Jason waited until the others had left before he spoke to Zordon. He and Tommy were teleported up as soon as the others discovered they couldn't teleport. Zordon had to have answers to what was wrong.

"Zordon what happened to my communicator?" He asked.

"I DO NOT KNOW JASON. ALPHA AND BILLY WILL RUN A FEW TESTS TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH BOTH YOURS AND TOMMY'S COMMUNICATORS. I AM SURE IT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN EASILY BE FIXED."

"Everything's been weird since we got back from Gasket's Arena. The communicators don't work, the vision I saw of the Arena that no one can explain, the blood I saw on the towel, and the fact that there's just something wrong." He wasn't sure how he could explain all of this to Zordon. He knew it sounded crazy but the more he tried to figure it out the stranger things got.

"I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONFUSION JASON." Zordon answered. "WE ARE STILL LOOKING INTO WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ARENA. NOW WHAT'S THIS ABOUT BLOOD ON A TOWEL?"

Jason had forgotten he hadn't told Zordon that. "After I was sparring with Adam, I found blood on the towel. When I looked again it was gone."

"JASON I WOULD LIKE ALPHA TO RUN SOME SCANS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT. I DID NOT THINK OF RUNNING THE SCANS ON ANYONE EXCEPT TOMMY. MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE THEM RUN ON ALL OF YOU."

Alpha brought up a bioscan bed and instructed Jason to lie on it. Alpha ran the scan and looked up at Zordon.

"There's nothing different." He informed Zordon.

"Gold Ranger." A voice taunted.

Jason's eyes snapped open.

"Don't mess around with things you don't understand." Gasket's voice taunted. "You and the Zeo Ranger 5 are mine."

"WHAT'S WRONG JASON?" Zordon said seeing the look on Jason's face.

"I just..." He trailed off. "Never mind. Could you teleport me to the others?"

"OF COURSE JASON. ALPHA PLEASE TELEPORT JASON TO THE JUICE BAR?"

"Teleporting now." Alpha answered.

Jason was gone in a flash of light.

Gasket was growing more and more frustrated with the machine he was using to keep the Gold Ranger out of his way. He had never had someone resist it to the degree he was. He would need Klank to check it for any flaws.

He fingered the arrowhead he had found on the ground. He had spoken to Klank about it and found out the arrowhead held a great power when it was combined. The other half was with the Zeo Ranger's brother. He supposed with Tommy out of the way, he would have no trouble getting the arrowhead.

He summoned the cogs to find David Trueheart and to bring the arrowhead to him.

He looked once again at the figure lying crumpled on the floor before walking away. He was going to prove to everyone, that he was better then his father. He was going to destroy the Rangers once and for all.

"I still can't believe they all bought it." Rocky said later that day at Ernie's beach stand. "I thought for sure they would want to call them."

"Would someone please tell me what's really going on?" David asked. "If I'm going to be the alibi, I need to know. Is my brother okay?"

"We don't know." Kat said and looked around to make sure no one was in earshot. "He and Jason never made it out of the Arena and Tommy's Zeonizers came back. I think we need to prepare for the worst."

"We can not give up hope." Billy argued. "They could be prisoners and Gasket has just not informed us of his demands."

"You didn't see it Billy." Kat said with tears in her eyes. "Gasket had the sword."

"Hey guys." Emily said coming up to them. "Where's Jason?"

"He and Tommy went camping." Tanya said.

"Oh." She said not hiding her disappointment. "Do you guys want to order anything?"

They shook their heads and she walked away.

They sat there in silence trying to decide what was going on. Then the Cogs attacked.
