Through the viewing globe at the Command Center, Alpha had seen that the stranger had been found by the Rangers and turned over to civilian rescue authority for special care. Now, as the patched up stranger was wheeled into a hospital room tucked into a hospital bed, Alpha watched silently from afar.
The scene changed to Kimberly, Zack, and Trini in the Youth Center; all of them talking about the accident while sharing milkshakes. On the table in front of them were paper, markers, and various other craft supplies. 'Get Well Soon' was written on the paper, which had been folded into a nice card.
As the scene faded back to the hospital room, Alpha watched Jason and Billy enter the hospital room with a nurse and police officer at their heels. The stranger was still unconscious after two days.
"Alpha, are you ready?" the voice of Zordon boomed from nearby. "Tommy has the power in its place."
Alpha nodded and with his hand on the button, he turned to face Tommy and Zordon. Tommy had placed the Green Power coin in the center of the apparatus and with a sigh, Alpha pressed the button.
There was a loud humming sound and suddenly, the entire room was enveloped in a gold light that eventually covered the Command Center, Angel Grove, and the entire world as it was known.
"The world will come to accept this change and act as if it were part of history," Zordon said as the light faded and all that remained was the Green Power Coin. "Tommy, your power has done a great service."
Tommy nodded, "When will the other Rangers know of this?" he asked, assuming that they would know.
"The other Rangers will soon know the life form's identity as you do now, but they will not be made aware of the action we have taken here," Zordon replied calmly. "History has accommodated him."
Tommy silently removed the coin from the apparatus and held it in his palm, gazing at it as if expecting simple desire to reactivate the power he had lost. Alpha gently patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
"Your sacrifice will be rewarded, Tommy," Zordon stated. "For now, however, you must take an oath."
Realizing that the oath most likely had something to do with the life form, Tommy nodded, "I will," he said in a serious tone as he gazed up at Zordon, his lifeless Power Coin forgotten. "I will take an oath."
"…My instincts were correct, Zeddy," Rita hissed as she paced back and forth in front of the throne where Lord Zedd sat holding his staff to his knee. "The power source we found is not complete."
Lord Zedd hissed angrily, "Can you locate what will make the power source complete?" he snapped.
Ignoring her husband's temper, Rita swiftly moved over to the Dark Viewing Globe and caressed it carefully. Almost immediately, the scene of Jason and Billy hovering over the unconscious stranger at the Angel Grove Hospital appeared. Rita cackled as she watched the stranger in his unconsciousness.
"The Power Rangers have the other half of the power source," Rita finally replied. "Let's get it back."
Lord Zedd nodded, "Send Goldar to defeat the Rangers and get the power," he ordered in a gruff tone, pleased that Rita was taking an initiative without prodding. "With it, my plan will succeed."
"It will succeed, Zeddy," Rita cooed as she moved off to carry out her orders. "And we will rejoice."
"…The latest scan was normal. There is no reason why he shouldn't already be awake."
"…Jason Lee Scott?"
"Yes, officer, I am Jason Lee Scott. What can I do for you?"
"If I could talk to you for a moment in the hallway; it's about the young man's identity…"
His eyes felt very heavy, as if sandbags were keeping them closed. It was tiring to try and open them.
"Jason."
As his eyes opened, two blurry figures were in his line of vision. He blinked and his vision quickly corrected itself, revealing the figures to be two young men that looked extremely concerned.
"Who are you?" he heard himself ask in a groggy, barely audible voice. "Where am I?"
Before Jason or Billy could reply, a doctor rushed into the room, as did the police officer, "Young man, my name is Lieutenant Stone," the officer said in a gentle voice as he removed his hat. "You were hurt in a car accident near Angel Grove two days ago and you're in the hospital. Do you remember anything?"
"No," the stranger heard himself reply, knowing that he had no memory of anything that had happened.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed and Babboo appeared in the hospital room, followed immediately by Goldar, "You Rangers have something that belongs to us," Goldar snapped. "We want it back NOW."
Goldar quickly advanced towards the stranger, but was immediately shoved away by Jason while Billy stayed close to the stranger with his morpher prepared, but hidden. The stranger, meanwhile, was suddenly feeling overwhelmed and succumbing to the fear and exhaustion that beckoned to him.
It was as if time has stopped. Goldar and Jason spent several minutes in hand to hand combat, both of them barely missing the bed where the stranger lay. Desperate to keep the injured stranger from harm, Billy typed a message in on his communicator and hoped that Zordon would rescue them from trouble.
Fortunately, just as Jason was beginning to get tired, he, Billy, and the stranger were teleported away.
Goldar stood there for a moment, stunned about how he could have been outwitted by two untransformed Power Rangers and an injured civilian. Then, cursing himself, he teleported away.
Upon landing in the safety of the Command Center, Jason and Billy found that the stranger had disappeared and that Kimberly, Trini, Zack, and Tommy had also been summoned to the center.
"Rangers, the young man in the hospital is no doubt associated with a power source that arrived on Earth during a terrible storm two days ago," Zordon stated as he appeared before them. "During the attack by Goldar, the stranger managed to teleport you three here by the power of his own heart."
Kimberly looked stunned, "Is that how we got here as well, Zordon?" she asked. "By his power?"
"It is possible that the young man was sent to Earth to avoid some danger," Alpha interjected as he came out of one of the Command Center's many rooms. "You being teleported here from your various locations by the power of his heart could he his way of asking for help in dealing with his predicament."
Zack looked at Tommy, "The Green Ranger is dead, how can you be of help to us?" he asked, not meaning to be rude. However, Zack didn't understand how Tommy could be of any help to them.
"Zack, Tommy has already been a help in this situation," Zordon said in a grave tone. "As for the rest of you, it is important that the young man have friends and consider this place home now that he is here."
Zack nodded, feeling very chastened as he moved away from Tommy, "Jason and Billy, I now ask you to take an oath to help this young man as much as possible and to protect him from evil's grasp," Zordon said as Zack silently left the room. "If Rita and Zedd try to abduct him again, you both must be ready."
"What about Trini and I?" Kimberly asked, unnerved by Zack's comment. "Will we also make the oath?"
Zordon shook his head, "Not at this time," he replied. "You and Trini will serve better as his friends."
"Now it's time to send you back to where you came from," Alpha interjected. "Time will go on as usual."
Before any of the Rangers could utter another word, they were teleported out of the Command Center.
The lights flickered on and Jason opened his eyes to find that several carts and medical staff had been knocked over, but everything seemed relatively all right. He released the wall bar he had gripped to and looked at Lt. Stone, who looked very unnerved but unharmed. Items were scattered all over the floor.
"…As I was saying, Jason, I have news concerning the young man's identity," Lt. Stone said gravely.
Suddenly remembering the stranger and Billy, Jason's eyes widened and he rushed back into the hospital room. He saw that no harm had come to either of them or the nurse that had was there.
"Is everyone okay?" Jason asked as he walked back over to the bed. "What exactly happened?"
Billy nodded, but said nothing. The stranger opened his eyes and suddenly gave Jason a strange look.
"Jason?" the stranger asked in a tired voice. "Is it really you? I haven't seen you since we were little."
For a moment, Jason was silent and unaware that Lt. Stone had entered the room; then a look of recognition crossed his face as he recognized the stranger. "Malcolm? Is that really you?"
"Wait, you two know each other?" Lt. Stone asked, suddenly relieved at this sudden turn of events.
"Yes, I guess Jason and I do know each other," the stranger replied. "I'm Malcolm Lee Scott, his cousin."
