When Billy opened his eyes he found himself no longer in an alley but in a strange room. He looked around and saw Lee standing there holding a cat, several people he didn't recognize sitting in chairs, and a bewildered looking Zack standing on the other side of him.
"Where am I?" Billy demanded.
"Yeah I'd kinda like to know that too," Lee said.
"I can answer your question Lee," Jason said stepping forward. "You're home and your name is Asa not Lee."
"I knew it," Zack said. "But where are we?" Zack asked.
"You are in the future," Jason answered. "What year, I'd rather not say at this point. This is Wes, Eric, Cam, Jen, and Hayley." He said pointing at the people sitting around the table.
"Hey," Eric said.
"Uh hi," Billy said uncertainly. "What's going on Jason?" He asked turning to the man who brought all three of them there.
"When I found out my son had been dropped into your time period with no memory…" Jason started to answer.
"I especially liked the part where he was dropped onto Elgar," Wes interrupted. "Wish I could have seen that."
Jen smirked. "You would. You don't even know Elgar."
"No but Zhane's talked about him enough times I feel like I know him."
Jason gave them all a look and they quieted down. "I had to go and get him," he continued. "I decided to bring you two here to help us. We are trying to find when time went out of sync. I have recruited three of the Time Force Rangers and two of the smartest people I could think of."
"Wouldn't time have gone out of sync when Tommy died?" Zack asked remembering why Asa and Jade were there in the first place. At least that's why he thought they were there.
Jason's brow furrowed for a moment and shook his head. "Something else happened. We are trying to pinpoint when it happened."
"So that's good and all," Asa answered, "but why am I here again?"
Jason grinned. "You live here," he answered, "but you won't be here long. I'm sending you back."
"Back?"
A door opened and a woman came into the room. It took Billy a moment to realize it was Emily.
"Asa," she said pulling into a hug. "Come with me," she said taking his hand. "I have someone that thinks they can help you regain your memory."
"Okay," Asa looked hesitantly around before following her out of the room. He handed the cat to Zack as he walked by.
The cat didn't want to be held by Zack and wiggled out of his arms and followed Asa down the hall.
"Was that Emily?" Billy asked.
Jason grinned and nodded. "She's my wife."
"That explains the blond hair," Zack said. "So why are you sending Asa back?"
"They need a Red Ranger."
"Where are Zack and Billy?" Tanya asked around midnight. She was watching Rocky drink a second energy drink. She was feeling tired herself but she didn't want to drink that.
"I haven't seen them in a couple of hours," Rocky said before tossing the bottle in the recycling bin.
"I think we should try to contact them," Tanya said. She slipped away into a quiet part and tried to contact Billy.
"Billy come in its Tanya."
There was no response. She decided to try Zack. "Zack come in its Tanya."
She received no response from him either.
"Dimitria come in," she said.
"YES TANYA I AM HERE," came the response.
Tanya breathed a sigh of relief. At least someone's answering. "Dimitria, Zack and Billy are not answering their communicators. Do you know where they are?"
There was a pause before Dimitria answered. "MY SCANNERS SHOW THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER ON EARTH."
Tanya's eyes got wide. She went over to where the Rocky was standing. "I just talked to Dimitria and she said she can't locate Billy or Zack on Earth. We better go up and talk to her.
"I'll go tell Adam you go tell Kat," Rocky suggested.
She nodded and they went to find their friends.
Asa walked in still carrying the cat. He wasn't sure why the cat seemed to be clinging to him. He walked up to Detective Stone. "I found this cat outside. Can you watch it for me? I need to go."
"Go? Where?" Detective Stone asked. "It's after midnight."
"Uh outside," Asa lied. "I'll be back in a few minutes." He said and hurried away as he saw the Rangers started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Uh," Rocky started to say.
"We are just going outside for awhile." Kat answered.
"Oh," Asa looked down for a moment before he dropped his voice. "I thought maybe you were going to talk to Dimitria."
He was met with stunned silence.
Notes: Who's to say those were the only Rangers lurking around in the future? ;)
