Jason couldn't shake the fact that there was something very wrong here. He still couldn't get past what Gasket said in his head: "Don't mess around with things you don't understand. You and the Zeo Ranger 5 are mine." He had been afraid to tell Zordon because he was sure he wouldn't believe him.

Was he going crazy or was something very wrong? He saw things the other Rangers didn't and he heard things they didn't and Tommy...Tommy he was the most worried about because he didn't seem the same since he came back from Gasket's arena. It wasn't just the missing Zeonizers or the broken communicators. It was as if they weren't back. He knew that was wrong but sometimes he wondered.

He stopped at the lake and looked out before walking to the spot where he had been pulled into the arena. He knew the portal had been closed, but he was drawn to it. There was nothing there. Just as he knew there wouldn't be.

"You know," Bulk said coming up behind him. "This is where we got sucked in."

Jason turned and looked at them confused. What were they talking about?

"What are you talking about?"

"Yeah it was right here Bulkie." Skull agreed without answering Jason's question.

Jason started to walk away.

"Wait Skull did you just see that?" Bulk asked.

"No what?"

"I thought I just saw the Gold Ranger."

"What?" Jason asked looking around pretending to be looking for the Gold Ranger. "I don't see anything."

Bulk walked up to him and put a hand right through his chest.

Gasket was beyond angry. The Cogs hadn't been able to retrieve the arrowhead as they had been instructed. The Gold Ranger did not believe anything he was seeing.

"Fine!" He said to no one in particular. "If the Gold Ranger doesn't want to accept it, let him have reality." He said and turned the machine off and removed the machine from the top of Jason's head. He stepped back to watch.

Jason hurried into the Youth Center. He was going to have to tell the others what had happened at the lake but he knew no one would believe him. He wasn't sure if he even believed himself.

Tommy was standing at the juice bar with Kat and Tanya talking to Ernie and Emily. Adam and Rocky were sparring on the mat. Everything seemed so normal but he knew it wasn't.

He went over and signaled for everyone to follow him. They walked out of the Youth Center into a secluded place in the parking lot.

"What is it Jase?" Tommy asked as soon as everyone had joined them.

"I was at the lake and so was Bulk and Skull. They were standing in the spot I was taken from. Bulk said they saw the Gold Ranger and then walked toward me. Bulk put his hand at my chest and it went right through."

"That's crazy." Rocky said. "We see you." He said and reached his hand out and touched Jason's shoulder. "See my hand is not going through you."

"You guys what if we are still in Gasket's arena?" He asked. It was the first time he told the others what he thought had happened.

"I think it was a fluke." Kat said quietly.

"What do you think?" Jason asked turning to face Tommy but he was gone. "Where did Tommy go?" He asked everyone else.

He turned and found himself alone.

Suddenly there was a very bright light and he felt like he was falling. He opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in the parking lot of the Youth Center. He was lying on a cold hard floor. He sat up and realized he was in a cell of some type.

He sat up and saw something lying on the floor not too far away. Jason stood and walked toward it and gasped.

There was so much blood on the floor but he had no trouble seeing Tommy lying in the middle of it. He shakily searched for a pulse and found a very weak one.

"Are you happy now Gold Ranger?" Gasket asked from the other side of the cell. "You were right. You never did escape." He let out a laugh. "And you never will." He said and walked away.

Jason sat there stunned.
