Zedd looked down at him in shock. "You're supposed to be dead!"
"I keep hearing that," Tommy said, "but Zordon saved me. Why did you bring us here?"
"I didn't," Zedd said, "Draegan told me he was sending two former Rangers here and said I could have them. He didn't tell me it was you two," he said a grin starting to form behind the metal piece that hid his skinless mouth. He turned to Jason. "Are you Jason or did Asa dye his hair black?"
"I am not that pretender," Jason said angrily. "I'm Jason Scott. Red Zeo Ranger."
Zedd's smile turned into a smirk. "They didn't tell you who Asa is? I'll tell you. He's your son from the future!" He stood back and waited for a reaction.
"No it wasn't," Micah said looking at Zedd. The Zedd form his dimension had reformed after the Astro Rangers defeated Dark Specter. They returned to being humans but he had seen pictures of Zedd before that but it still creeped him out to see him now. "Asa was from my dimension and is the son of Jason from that dimension."
Tommy saw something in Jason's eyes and took an involuntary step back. Something's wrong with Jason he sent to Micah. I just saw a flash of red in his eyes.
Spell? Are you serious?
Micah asked back. I didn't see Zedd do anything!
"Jase," Tommy asked tentatively. "You okay bro?" He barely had time to move away from the sword that Jason had pulled out. He didn't have the Gold Zeonizers and wondered if he still had a connection to his Ninjetti powers.
"Power of Tervosoh activate," Micah called. Nothing happened. Micah looked down in surprise. Did his powers not work in this dimension? He looked up trying to see if he could spot anything that would indicate a force field.
Jason looked at Micah and chuckled darkly before he turned to Tommy. "Aren't you going to try to morph bro," he asked before aiming the weapon in Tommy's direction.
Tommy hadn't seen the flash of teleportation behind him but could almost feel someone behind him. He spun around before flipping away after seeing Rito, Goldar, and Tengas behind him.
"Ninja Ranger Power!" Tommy called. He was clothed for one brief second before he was hit by so much pain. He morphed back to his regular clothes. He touched a hand to his chest before he collapsed to the ground at Jason's feet.
Jason's hands trembled as he spun around to face Zedd. His sword, which he had not fired, was now pointed at Zedd. Tommy had seen the flash of red in Jason's eyes but it was not because of a spell. It was hatred he had been holding inside ever since Gasket had captured him the first time. Gasket had seen it and had manipulated it when he captured him the second time. He used it and unleashed it on Alpha and Zordon. And Tommy…no that wasn't right he thought as his anger was raging almost out of control. He aimed the sword at Zedd."If you killed him," Jason said as his hands stopped shaking.
"You'll what," Zedd asked, "kill me?" He said as he moved his hand and Jason's sword disappeared. "Welcome to my world," he laughed.
"Uh Jason if you are on my side I could use some help here!" Micah called as he fought off Rito and Goldar.
Jason ran over to help Micah. Zedd watched from above. He brought Tommy up to the platform and kept a foot planted on his chest in case he came to.
in Florida Kimberly was on the balance beam ready to perform her new dismount. One of the coaches was standing next to the beam ready to spot her if necessary. After one of the Russian gymnasts had performed a difficulty filled routine at the European Championships, the US Coaches had made changes to all of the balance beam routines.
"Okay Kimberly," Coach Rachel Ryan called from the floor. "You need to go full out to get a full rotation on the dismount."
Kimberly nodded and raised her arms above her head before starting to run across the beam. An image came to her of Tommy. She lost her balance and hopped off of the beam.
"Kimberly are you okay," Coach Ryan asked.
Kimberly looked around the training center but she didn't sense Tommy just emptiness.
"Kim," Coach Ryan asked again, "are you okay," she asked more gently.
Kim shook herself. "I'm okay," she said and hopped back onto the beam. This time she made it through the routine and dismount with only a small hop on the landing.
"Great job Kimberly," Coach Schmidt said joining them. "Even with the hop, it would have gotten a great score. We get rid of the hop and you'll get a 10!" He said patting her on the shoulder. "You worked hard today. Why don't you cool down and call it a day?"
"Thanks Coach Schmidt," Kim said and went over to the mats and started her cool down stretches. When she was sure no one could hear her she whispered, "Tommy are you there?" She felt nothing but the same emptiness she felt earlier. It had been awhile since she had felt him with her and it was starting to hurt.
Notes: I wanted to give an ending to the Florida thing.
