Notes: I'm going to be in Israel for 11 days so I won't be updating anything for a bit.
Asa called his sword wondering how his father did this Ranger thing. His dad had taught him and Olivia martial arts but that didn't prepare him for this. The other Rangers were faring much better then he was.
"You are not much of a Ranger," the monster taunted as he knocked Asa down with another blast.
Asa struggled to his feet and then charged at the monster. He hit him with the sword and then moved out of the way to allow Rocky and Adam to work on him. He stood back trying to catch his breath.
"Adam!" A voice yelled.
Asa turned around to see another Ranger running towards the monster. This Ranger was in the same suit as he was. He hit the monster several times with his sword. The monster went down.
No the monster was still standing there and the Ranger was gone.
"What?"
"Asa!" Kat yelled, "are you okay?"
"Huh?" Asa asked shaking his head trying to clear it. Something was wrong. Who was that Ranger and where did they go?
The Pirahnatrons surrounded him. He fought them off and was glad when they teleported away.
The monster grew in proportion so they called their zords. Asa was glad that the zords were combined into the Megazord because he had others to help him. The fight went about fifteen minutes before the monster was destroyed. The Rangers teleported back to the Power Chamber.
They powered down.
"What happened out there?" rocky asked Asa.
"I guess being a Ranger isn't as easy at it looks," Asa said, "I'm sorry I let you guys down."
"YOU WILL GET BETTER I AM SURE OF IT," Dimitria said, "HOWEVER FOR A FEW MINUTES YOU SEEMED DISTRACTED."
"Yeah some Red Ranger came in and attacked the monster and left. I was caught off guard."
"What Red Ranger," Adam asked.
"The one that came in and helped you and Rocky fight the monster. I have no idea how the monster got back up so quickly."
"Asa there was no other Red Ranger," Tanya said. "it was just us out there."
"But I saw him!" asa said. "He yelled Adam's name. Maybe he's still there," Asa said thoughtfully.
"I DO NOT DETECT ANY OTHER POWER RANGERS ON EARTH," Dimitria said, "NOR DID I SEE ANY TELEPORT DOWN FOR THE FIGHT."
"I'm not crazy," Asa said, "I saw him. He was dressed just like I was…" he trailed off remembering how his dad would act funny at times. It started not long after he and Jade returned to the correct year. He knew he couldn't say that to the Rangers. "I don't know anymore." He said.
"LET ME KNOW IF YOU SEE HIM AGAIN," Dimitria said. "UNTIL THEN YOU SHOULD ALL RETURN HOME AND REST."
The Rangers teleported out of the Power Chamber and went home.
DDD
When Asa arrived at his grandparents house he found that they were out. He decided to take the moment to look around. His grandparents didn't live in this house where he was from so this was all new to him.
He found pictures hangingon the wall of Jason from baby pictures through his senior year of high school. There were a few of his senior pictures on the wall. He stopped at a picture of his dad with his friends. He recognized Billy, Kimberly, Zack, and Tommy. He didn't know who the asian girl was. He thought she might be Trini. He remembered his dad talking about her a few times. Asa remembered now that she had died when she was in college.
"Asa?" a voice called from the front door.
Asa turned around to see his grandmother carrying a couple bags of groceries. He hurried over to help her bring them inside.
"Thanks," she said as they went into the kitchen to put the groceries away. "How was your day?"
"It was okay," Asa said still glad he had decided not to tell his parents he was a Power Ranger. "I worked at the Youth Center and hung out with Adam and a few of Jason's friends. Detective Stone introduced us at the Graduation Party."
"They are good kids," Elizabeth said as she turned her oven on. "It's too bad you've never met Tommy. he was Jason's best friend. Sometimes I think his illness is why Jason ran away."
"Tommy was sick?"
"He was bitten by a snake and died about six months ago. Your dad never told you?"
"No," Asa said which was actually true. No one really talked about it. Then he remembered something Zack said.
"Wouldn't time have gone out of sync when Tommy died?"
Jason had seemed so unsure. Had he known? Why was he having so many problems with his memories? He knew a snake had bitten Tommy. That's when he and Jade had realized they were not in the right time. Why did he not remember that's how Tommy died?
He wondered if this was how his dad felt sometimes.
