DISCLAIMERAUTHOR'S NOTE

Doesn't belong to me, but Haim Saban and Fox Kids. I got this idea after watching the Green With Evil mini-series. In Pts 2. and 3 (Jason's Battle and The Rescue), Goldar goads Jason and unlike his usual calm demeanor, he reacts to each bait. This is just my idea of why. Takes place shortly after Gung Ho. Oh and I've seen some episodes where they refer to Jason as "Jason Lee Scott" and I'm going under the assumption that Lee is a middle name.

CHAPTER ONE: ANGERED RED

Jason Lee Scott sparred with one of his best friends, Tommy Oliver. Both were unaware of the audience they had in Trini Quan, Billy Cranston, Kimberly Hart, and Zack Taylor.

"Man, they're good," Zack commented.

"I know. It's almost like watching the Expo," Kimberly agreed. The other Rangers smiled, remembering the Martial Arts Expo that Jason and Tommy had first encountered each other at. As Jason and Tommy sparred, Kimberly looked around the youth center. Then, she spotted Jason's mother.

"Hey, Mrs. Scott!" she called.

"Huh?" Jason asked. Tommy took advantage of the distraction to knock Jason off his feet with a sweeping kick. The boy grunted as he landed on his back.

"No fair, bro," he wheezed. His partner laughed as he helped him up.

"Hey, Mom. What's up?" Jason wondered.

"Jason, I need to talk to you," Mrs. Scott stated.

"What's the matter? Is it Dad?" Jason asked.

"No, Mike's okay," Mrs. Scott replied. Tommy frowned slightly, confused as to why Jason's mother had used her husband's first name when referring to Jason's father.

"Mom, what's going on?" Jason prompted.

"Your father wants to talk to you," Mrs. Scott said.

"Mike is my father, not him," Jason insisted.

"Jason, he came all this way," Mrs. Scott pointed out.

"Forget it! I don't want to see him!" Jason exclaimed.

"Jase, come on," Trini encouraged.

"No! No way! Forget it! He's not my father! He never was!" Jason cried. With that, he pushed past his friends.
