Tommy lay on the hard ground staring up at the 'sky.' He never really thought he'd ever be back in Gasket's Arena. It wasn't that long ago that he thought he was from a different dimension and much older.

He struggled to sit up and saw that Jason and Micah were talking quietly to each other. They stopped talking and went over to Tommy as soon as they saw he was awake again.

"How're you feeling," Micah asked.

"Sore but better. I can breathe better. So what's been happening?"

"Not much," Jason said. "We haven't seen anyone come down here yet. Micah looked around but couldn't find anything to eat."

"Guess that makes sense," Tommy said. "It was a robot's arena. Though I guess they would need food for the prisoners."

"You feel up to moving bro," Jason asked stretching his hand out. Tommy took it and allowed Jason to pull him to his feet. He swayed a moment but eventually steadied.

"Which way did you go," Jason asked looking at the different doorways in front of them.

"I went down those two," Micah said pointing at the doorways on either side of where they were standing.

They took the next on the right. They walked slowly as Tommy was still in pain from the blast. They didn't find anything of interest down that corridor the next three. It was the fourth one that took them by surprise.

They heard machine sounds. Jason went first and then signaled Tommy and Micah.

"Prince Sprocket and Klank," Tommy whispered when he could see.

The youngest son of King Mondo turned around and stared at them. "Back of Rangers," he said standing up.

"Look Sprocket," Tommy said, "we aren't here to hurt you. We didn't know anyone else was up here."

Micah nodded staring at the robot. In his dimension Generals of the Machine Empire had survived but Prince Sprocket and his family had been destroyed. "We are just trying to find a way back to Earth. Zedd put up a force field."

"Klank could help you with that, right Klank?"

"Of course sire in exchange with the promise of no retaliation against myself and Prince Sprocket."

"You've got yourself a deal," Jason said easily stepping back into the leader role.

Klank went over to a computer e had been standing in front of him. "The force field should be easy to break though," he said pushing a few buttons. "There that should be enough to disrupt Zedd's force field."

Micah mentally grabbed onto Tommy and Jason and then teleported them away.

Prince Sprocket pouted. "I can't believe we helped them."

"But your Majesty, we don't want them to find out about that," he said pointing at King Mondo who they were trying to rebuild.


Jason, Tommy, and Micah landed in a deserted part of Angel Grove Park. As soon as they landed they were teleported again this time landing in the Power Chamber. Jason was immediately put inside of a force field as the Rangers took turns hugging Tommy. Micah stood off to the side before looking up at Dimitria.

"Jason's no longer a threat. He helped us fight in Gasket's Arena."

Alpha scanned Jason with a scanner. "He's right Dimitria. Scanners show no spells."

Zordon slowly took a step towards Jason. He knew the young man had hated him for decisions he had to make. "It wasn't a spell that Gasket put on him." He said now standing in front of the former Red and White Ranger. "Jason I know you are angry with me for leaving you at the base. I needed to get Tommy help quickly and thought you would be okay there. When I came back for you, you were already gone. I can't even begin to imagine the lies that Draegan filled your mind with."

"He told me that you made me watch Tommy die and then abandoned me at the base. I know that's not true now."

"Wait Finster told me that Tommy died at the base." Adam said confused.

"That's what it looked like to them but I didn't correct them."

The force field was removed from around Jason.

"I'm glad to see everyone," Tommy said, "but can I go home? I can't imagine what this did to my parents."

"OF COURSE TOMMY," Dimitria said before teleporting Tommy to Napa.


When Tommy arrived home he was glad to see both his parents' cars there. He turned the door knob and stepped inside. "Mom? Dad?" He called nervously. He thought the stairs would crumble as his dad came running down the stairs upon hearing his voice.

"Tommy," he asked.

Tommy nodded his eyes filled with tears. Ryan enveloped him in a tight hug. Tommy tried not to show how much pain that caused him.

"Your mother's at a conference and will be home tomorrow. Let me call her," he said picking up the cordless phone not wanting to take his eyes off of Tommy. "I still can't believe you are standing in front of me," he said in a choked voice. "I want to know how this is even possible but I want to tell your mother first," he dialed her number. "Charlotte you better sit down. You will never guess who just walked through the front door." He handed Tommy the phone.

"Hello mom," he asked he started crying when he heard his mother crying. Charlotte said she was catching the first flight home. Even though Tommy couldn't imagine what his parents had gone through, he was just glad to be home.


Notes: I can't believe this fic is over. There will be a sequel. Have no clue what it will be called but it will have a color themed name just like all the other fics in this series. As for Ryan's reaction, well that's not the first time Tommy's walked through the door after being told he was dead. At the moment he's too shocked to even fathom what's going on.
