"Gasket's Arena," Micah asked wracking his brain trying to figure this out. He had heard of Prince Gasket before he was sure of it. Gasket's father King Mondo had almost defeated his home planet when he was a young boy, but the Power Rangers that were on his planet at the time had stopped him.

"Yeah. Gasket once captured Jason and brainwashed him. He made Jason and I fight each other in this arena," Tommy said raising a hand to his face and felt the scar that was still there from their fight in the arena.

Micah remembered a story he had heard about when the Earth Rangers were Zeo Rangers. But hadn't Tommy been the one to be brainwashed? How different was this dimension from his own? He wondered.

Jason was staring at both of them wearily. "So you have a scar on his face. It doesn't prove anything. I saw Tommy die!"

"I don't know how to convince you Jason," Tommy said as a thought came to him. He didn't like to use this but it just might work. "Do you need to see my damaged finger? The finger you cut off while under Zedd's spell?"

Jason's face went white as a sheet as he looked at the finger. That memory still haunted him. But there was no way this was Tommy. So what if he had a damaged finger. A lot of people had damaged fingers.

Micah had an idea and whispered, "do you know arm the snake bit you?"

"right arm," he said and then pulled off his leather jacket. He rolled his sleeve up. The puncture marks were still visible. "Look," he said to Jason, "you can still see the puncture marks from when Zedd's snake bit me."

"I…it's not possible," Jason stammered taking a step closer to them. He grabbed Tommy's arm and fingered the puncture marks. He had seen the puncture marks up close when Tommy had collapsed in the Youth Center. These looked just like them. "Tommy?" He asked taking a better look at him. "How's it…"

he was interrupted by a blast that knocked all of them off of their feet. Tommy was the first one back up. He glared at who he saw looking down at them from the platform.

"Zedd."


The Turbo Rangers stood in the Power Chamber staring up at Dimitria waiting for answers.

"Was that Tommy," Tanya asked.

"I CAN NOT TELL FOR CERTAIN," Dimitria answered. "FROM THE BRIEF IMAGE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE IT APPEARS SO."

"But he hasn't been Asa the whole time," Billy spoke up. "How was he Asa one moment and Tommy the next?"

"When Kat knocked him down, that thing he was wearing on his wrist broke," Rocky said thoughtfully.

Alpha set the morpher that they had retrieved from Billy's yard after Jason, Tommy, and Micah disappeared. "This isn't an actual morpher," it explained. "It's a replica of the Gold Ranger Zeonizer. No power in it. It's a fake."

"Why would he try to give Jason a fake Zeonizer," Adam asked, "and where did they go?"

"UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR EITHER QUESTION," Dimitria said, "I AM UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY OF THEM."

There was a flash of a teleportation beam. When the light faded they saw a man standing there. The alarms did not go off much to the Rangers and Billy's surprise.

"ZORDON," Dimitria greeted.

"Zordon?!" Everyone, but Alpha, exclaimed in shock.

"Hello Rangers," Zordon said smiling at them, "there isn't enough time for explanations. Jason, Tommy, and Micah are in grave danger."

"DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE?" Dimitria asked.

Zordon nodded. "Someone intercepted Micah's teleportation and sent them to Gasket's arena. A force field went up around the Arena again and I was not able to get them back."

The Rangers and Billy exchanged worried looks.

"But the Machine Empire have been destroyed," Rocky said, "why would they be at the Arena?"

"I do not know," Zordon said. "But if I had to guess, I'd guess it was Zedd."

No one knew what to say. They all had so many questions for Zordon but at the moment Jason and Tommy's whereabouts were foremost on their minds.
