Jason stood staring at his best friend. It was still hard to comprehend that Tommy, who was dead in the past, was alive in the future. Not that he was complaining but nothing made sense. "Tommy we aren't trying to keep anything from you. Everything was happening so fast. Asa disappeared and was sent to the past with amnesia and then I shook my son, well my past self-did which means I did."

"Jason stop," Tommy said, "there is something about the past that's not right. I mean something's changing the past and that's why Kira, Ethan, and Conner sent Jade and Asa back to the past to stop whatever was unraveling time. We didn't like it and we never could figure out what went wrong so none of this is your fault bro."

"Tommy the weapon was manufactured last year. How would my past self-get my hands on it?"

"I don't know Jase. What I do know is you wouldn't harm Olivia or Asa. Someone's messing with you. Who it is I don't know. As Rangers we have a lot of enemies. And you have even more enemies from your special ops days."

"I just want to get my hands on whoever went after Asa," Jason said as he kicked angrily at a table. "They are making this personal." Jason stopped as he was slammed with an image. "He's…I've got Zack." Jason ran out of the room with Tommy right behind him. They raced into the control room to find several Ranger Academy students there. Jade was typing away at a computer.

Jason went over and hit a few buttons on the console. "Cam I need you in the control room. Now!"

"Jason what's…" Tommy started to ask.

"I just killed Zack!"

Asa opened his eyes and saw a figure looming over him. He had heard his father and Uncle Tommy. Was that them?

"Dad…" he croaked. The breathing mask made it nearly impossible to talk.

"Shh," a voice whispered. A gloved hand reached out and brushed hair out of Asa's face. Asa saw a flash of silver but didn't know what it was. Was it a knife?

Asa was too weak to struggle but tried anyway.

"You don't know me," the voice said, "but I know you. You are in grave danger Asa. Your dad or his friends can't protect you from what's about to come." The figure started to remove tubes and wires from Asa's body.

"H…" he started to say.

The figure just moved his hand and said, "sleep." Asa's eyes became heavy and he closed his eyes. The figure sent him away.

The figure heard footsteps running in the halls upon hearing the alarms in the room going off. He was about to teleport away when he locked eyes with a man he felt so much pity for. Too bad he couldn't save him too. Not now anyway.

"No it can't be…"

"Tell Jason I'll protect his son. And you Thomas need to leave. Right now. You are in as much danger as Asa is. Never mind about what I just said. This will have to do for now. " he waived his hand at Tommy and before he disappeared said, "Run!" He was gone in a flash of light.

Tommy watched him in shock.

Zordon?

"What's going on," Emily demanded. "I heard alarms going off in here…" she stopped when she saw the medical bed was empty. "Where's Asa?"

Tommy was still too shocked to say anything.

"Tommy what's going on?" Emily asked shaking his shoulder.

Tommy looked at her.

"Tommy?!" She yelled in his face. He just looked at her.

Tommy opened his mouth to say something but no words came out. He couldn't speak.

The last thing Zordon had said came back to him. "Never mind what I said. This will have to do for now. Run!"

Jason came into the room white as a ghost. He started to tremble when he saw Asa wasn't in the room. "Where's Asa?" He demanded.

"I don't know!" Emily replied. "When I came in here Tommy was alone but he's not saying anything!" She was starting to get hysterical. Asa wouldn't have been able to walk out of the room under his power.

"Tommy what happened," Jason demanded.

Tommy just shook his head. An idea came to him and he signaled for a piece of pen and paper.

"You can't do that Tommy."

Tommy looked around wondering who had just said that.

"Asa will be okay with me. Tommy you need to leave! Haley will be okay just get out of there."

He had never been lied to by Zordon and since he was the one that took away his voice, there must be something horrible about to happen.

Jason handed him the pen and paper but Tommy teleported out of the room.

Jason and Emily exchanged looks and then hurried back into the Command Room.

Notes: Sorry if this story seems strange. Let's just say time is unraveling. It'll make sense…eventually.
