The Rangers defeated the monster and teleported back up to the Power Chamber. The first thing they noticed was that Asa wasn't there.

"Where's Asa," Tanya asked.

"HE HAS RETURNED TO HIS CORRECT TIME," Dimitria informed her.

"Will he be coming back?" Kat asked.

"I DO NOT KNOW," Dimitria responded. "THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE RANGERS OF HIS TIME."

Billy wanted to say something but held back. There was so much he wanted to tell the others but he didn't want to say them in front of Dimitria. He knew she was hiding something. He just didn't know what.

Emily stood in the med bay watching as a doctor examined her oldest child. She was barely holding back the anger she felt towards Jason. She had been so surprised when Jason had arrived holding Asa in his arms. He said that his younger self had blasted him with a sword.

The doctor hooked up a machine to Asa and then stepped back.

"How is he doctor," Jason asked.

"Let's step outside," he said and led them out of the room. "The injuries are quite extensive," he said, "Asa has a long road ahead of him but I do believe in time he will make a full recovery."

"Thank you doctor," Emily said feeling a little bit of relief.

"You're welcome Mrs. Scott," he said and then turned his attention back to Jason. "Mr. Scott did you by chance see the weapon that was used?"

"Briefly from the Power Chamber but I didn't get a close look."

"Mr. Scott you said you were thirty years in the past. My scans of your son's injuries indicate that he was hit with a weapon that was created last year."

Emily and Jason exchanged looks. How did Jason's younger self acquire a weapon from the future?

"I will come and check on Asa in a few hours. Call me if you need anything," he said and left.

Emily glared at her husband. "How could you let this happen to him!"

"Emily there was nothing I could do! The Rangers were called too late. I don't know why my younger self attacked Asa other then he was looking for Tommy's and my zeonizers."

Emily stared at him for a moment trying to read his face. "You don't remember?"

"No and I wish I did! My memories are changing but I don't know. It's like I have a big gap in my memory for than. I swear Emily I'm as in the dark about this as everyone else." He shut his eyes. "I would have never sent Asa there if I knew this was going to happen."

Emily's face softened. She knew her husband would never knowingly hurt their children. But this all scared her. Who was her husband becoming? She turned and went back in the room to be with Asa.

Jason wanted to follow her but there were things he had to do. He went back into the command room and contacted someone.

"Jade can you meet me in the command room?"

The Rangers, Aisha, Billy, and Zack gathered at Kat's home as her parents were out of town.

Billy started it. "There are a lot of things you all need to know. Asa did contact Dimitria when he ran into Jason."

"Why didn't she contact us sooner?" Rocky asked. "It's almost like what happened to Tommy." He saw the puzzled look on Aisha's face and remembered she didn't know everything that had happened. "Tommy was attacked in the park but we didn't find out about it until it was too late."

"There's more," Billy said, "Asa was more injured then Alpha let on and that was why he went back to his time. Dimitria thought he had a better chance in the future." He had decided not to tell them that Jason from the future was the one who took him home.

"So now what," Kat asked, "do we trust Dimitria who didn't contact us right away? We could have helped Asa."

"I think we have to trust Dimitria," Adam said, "Divatox is still here and we have to stop her and not to mention Jason who's after the morphers."

"Are Jason's zeonizers are still in the Power Chamber," Zack asked.

"Last I checked. Since we weren't able to find a new Zeo Ranger 5 we left them locked in the Power Chamber. Trey has the Gold Ranger zeonizers." That was when it dawned on Billy. "We need to contact Trey to make sure he's okay."

They teleported up to the Power Chamber. Billy stepped forward unsure of why he was slipping back into being leader again. "We need to contact Trey."

"OF COURSE BILLY. ALPHA OPEN A COMMUNICATION WITH TRIPHORIA AND CONTACT PRINCE TREY."

Alpha moved to quickly do so.

After a few minutes Trey appeared on the viewing globe. "Rangers it is good to see you. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Trey have you seen Jason," Rocky asked.

"Not since Tommy was in the hospital. Why?"

"He's back in Angel Grove looking for his zeonizers and yours. Maybe he doesn't know that you are the Gold Ranger again."

"I haven't seen him but I'll let you know if he comes to Triphoria. I'm sorry but I have to go."

"Be careful Trey," Tanya said.

"I will. Let me know if you need help," he said and the communication cut off.

They looked at each other. Now what?

Elizabeth smiled as she opened the door. She quickly enveloped her son in a hug. "I'm so glad you are home! Where have you been? How are you?"

Jason held onto his mother for a few more seconds before letting go. "I'm glad to be home. I'm okay and I've been in a lot of places."

"Dinner's almost ready so come help me make a salad and we can continue talking. Lee and your dad should be home from work soon. They'll be so happy to see you."

Jason stiffened but quickly said, "who's Lee?"

"Your cousin. I don't think you've ever met your Aunt Martha and Uncle Jim's son. He's been here visiting. He's got a job at the Youth Center."

"Oh," he said as he started cutting up a cucumber. "So how are you and dad?"

"We're both doing great," she said as she stirred the spaghetti sauce. "Your dad's going to be so glad to see you! I still can't believe you're home! I hope you're hungry."

"I am," Jason said forcing a smile on his face. "I can't wait to have a home cooked meal."

"Well it should be done soon." They heard a car pull up. "Why don't you set the table?"

Jason quickly did so with a smile. After being gone so long he was glad to be home.

"Jase you need to set four places," his mother called.

Jason scowled but set a place at the table for the pretender. He doubted very much that his 'cousin' would be joining them even if he didn't hit him full blast with the sword.

The Scott's sat down at the table ten minutes later.

"I don't know what's keeping Lee," Elizabeth said, "He should be home by now. I guess he can microwave it when he gets home."

Jason didn't say anything as he dug into dinner. Zordon had kept him from coming home for almost six months but he was home now. He'd find his and Tommy's zeonizers and everything would be fine.

Notes: I know Jason seems OOC but hold on there's a good explanation for it.
