Jason staggered back as the demon attacked him viciously. Jason managed to block a few punches, but the demon quickly picked up its pace. It was not long before Jason collapsed to his knees.

Jason could taste the blood in his mouth, which he let freely fall down his chin. He began to breathe in deeply as the demon slowly started to advance towards him.

Back at the Power Chamber Rocky watched with dread. He knew he could not just sit and let the demon destroy Jason. Looking away he found his hands traces over his wound. The reason why he was in this bad shape in the first place, was because he couldn't fight the demon…he couldn't risk harming Tommy. His choice for not fighting the demon nearly had killed him.

He knew he couldn't let the demon to kill Jason. He had to stop this before he was to lose another friend…

"Say good bye ranger…" the demon said as it took its weapon and readied it for a killing blow.

"Tommy, you have to fight it…" Jason managed to say in a strained voice. He looked up pleadingly. Hoping that somehow his old friend would come back to his senses, even if only for a moment…

"Sorry boy, but you're friend is not available right now." The demon said darkly as its eyes started to glow a haunting red.

Jason lowered his head, unable to no longer want to lift it. He was prepared for the demon to kill him…but just as the demons weapon was about to strike, Rocky had teleported in right on time to stop the blow.

With all his strength Rocky managed to kick the demon away. Quickly drawing out his blaster, Rocky managed to shoot the demon, it easily dogged the bullet. By the time the demon looked back, both rangers had escaped. Shrugging its shoulders the demon put his weapon away and disappeared.

Back at the Power Chamber, Rocky placed Jason down on the ground. He had demorphed after a few moments. The Power Chamber grew quiet again, as both Jason and Rocky sat on the cold floor, catching their breaths.

Clearing his throat, Jason finally managed to speak again, "We should get some rest, and we are going to need it."

Rocky stared at him, Jason's earlier emotions were now gone. His face was now emotionless. Rocky watched as Jason slowly got to his feet.

"Are you going to stay here?" Jason asked weakly.

"Can't go home, not at this hour." Rocky reminded him. Jason sighed and then nodded his head.

"We'll go to our homes tomorrow and pack as much as we can for our trip to the past." Jason said.

"Alright, tomorrow morning we go home." Rocky said as he then left to go find Alpha. Jason watched him leave, he felt exhausted…it was going to be a long, uncomfortable night…

The next morning, Rocky had been the first to wake up. Once Jason was awake, he saw Rocky was morphed.

"Did I miss something, why are you morphed?" Jason wondered. He was still tired, he had only a 1hr of sleep, the rest he spent tossing and turning.

"I just figured it would be safest morphed. Just in case…" Rocky explained. Jason thought about it for a moment before he nodded his head in agreement.

"Ready?" Rocky than asked. Jason nodded his head. And taking a deep breath and in as strong as a voice as he could muster, he called out…

"It's morphing time! Gold Ranger power!"


When Jason and Rocky landed in Angle Grove Park, the first thing they noticed was how chilling empty it was. Not a soul in sight. Jason subconsciously shuddered.

"This is just the park; I hate to think what it will be like when we go into town." Rocky said as he stepped over an abandoned bike.

As they walked through the park they both kept looking around to make sure no one or thing, was following them. In silence they journeyed on, neither one of them had anything to say until they arrived in town.

They expected the place to be completely deserted. But what they found instead, made their blood run cold. There were bodies...some of them were lying on the ground, covered in blood. Others would be sitting on benches or tables, their head lowered. Those ones looked as if they were just resting.

"Let's just keep moving." Jason said, as he forced himself not to stare at the bodies of some students he recognized. As Jason watched them he felt like they would spring up at any moment and attack him. But none did...they both found themselves quickening their pace. They wanted to leave this place as fast as they could.

"That was creepy. Do you think the demon killed them all?" Rocky wondered as they now walked down a deserted street.

"That demon was not the only thing that started killing people. There are other things out there, and it's not Mondo and his goons either." Jason warned.

"How do you know?" Rocky asked.

"I've meet them." Jason simply replied. Rocky stared at him in confusion as he said those words. He thought he had just summoned this demon, but did this mean it brought friends?

"Then what else could have done it?" Rocky demanded. Jason stopped and sighed. He looked around and then pointed at a house at the end of the street, ignoring Rocky's question…

"That's my house. I'll meet you at yours. Try not to take too long." Jason ordered. Rocky went to complain, but he decided to save it for later. Watching Jason break into a run, he turned around and decided to cut through another houses yard, since his house was on the other side…

When Rocky finally made it to his house, he cautiously opened the front door. Slowly inching his way in, he held onto his weapon, ready to fire at anything that moved. Rocky knew that his family did not survive the attack, so if anything was going to pop up, he had to remind himself that he should shoot first and ask questions later.

Inside, Rocky made his way into the kitchen. At the site of food, his stomach started to growl. Taking off his helmet he decided he'd shove whatever food he could find into his mouth. Once he was somewhat satisfied he closed the fridge door and with the few items he managed to pick out from the pantry, he stuffed it in his bag.

Once he was done in the kitchen he hurried upstairs. If he and Jason were going to travel back in time, one thing they would need most, was going to be money. Rocky had no idea how long it would take them to confess to their younger selves.

He knew, because of that, that they would have to be on their own for awhile while in the past, so he went into his room as well as his parent's room to find as much money as possible.

It had taken Rocky an hour to get everything he needed and when he was done, Jason was already in his kitchen waiting for him. Hurrying out, Rocky noticed the small bag that Jason carried.

"That's it? Don't you need anything else?" Rocky wondered. Jason looked down at his bag and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's all I need." Jason replied.

"If you say so." Rocky said as he went to put his helmet back on. Jason went on ahead of him and Rocky spent a few more seconds getting last minute items. Taking one last look inside, Rocky closed the door.

As Rocky made his way outside, he was surprised when he saw a Jeep pulled up in his driveway. He knew for a fact that his car was missing…

"Don't worry." Jason said, as he came from the back of the car. Rocky looked at it surprised. He never knew Jason had a car.

"It belonged to my cousin." Jason explained, as he noticed the confusion in on Rocky's face.

"You're cousin?" Rocky wondered out loud.

Jason looked over at the Jeep in sadness. It was then that Rocky noticed some old Blood smeared on the side door.

"Like I said before…that Demon is not the only thing we are fighting here…" Jason said, his voice getting serious.

"What attacked you?" Rocky asked.

"That demon did not come alone…they were possessed, they had to be…it had happened so fast." Jason said as the memories flooded back. He could still hear his cousin calling out to him.

"They jumped my cousin and I. One of those things had a knife in its hands, it was coming for me... it would have killed me…except my cousin jumped in the way, and…it stabbed him. But he managed to kill it before it could finish him off…" Jason explained as he looked at the blood stain on the Jeep. His voice now sounded distant.

"I'm sorry." Rocky said, not knowing what else to say. Jason looked down, his face was full of sadness. He could feel a tightness grow in his throat. He had to wait a few moments before he could speak, afraid that if he spoke right away, he would not be able to mask the pain that he felt...

"What's done is done. Can't dwell on the past." Jason said darkly as he opened the car door and tossed the bag he was holding in his hand.

"We better get going. Nothing evil has shown up yet, but I assure you it won't stay that way." Jason warned.

"Why don't we just teleport?" Rocky asked.

"There's just one last stop we have to make, and we can't do it on foot. Just…just get in the car." Jason said, not wanting to explain anymore.

Sighing, Rocky agreed to use the Jeep as transportation. He still did not understand why they couldn't just teleport…but Rocky figured that for some reason, Jason wanted to drive, and arguing with him was the last thing he felt like doing…

They had been driving for 15 min when Jason suddenly slammed on the breaks. Rocky found himself cursing under his breath as he spilt his drink all over his shirt, and was about to complain when he saw someone standing at the Exit. It was a girl. A girl around their age…

Jason stared on silently. He was gripping the stirring weal tightly. Rocky looked at the girl and then at Jason with confusion. While driving they both decided to demorphed, but right now Rocky had wished he stayed morphed.

"Jason, what's the matter?" Rocky asked. He knew that if they encountered anything or anyone, that it was probably not going to friendly.

"Come on Jason, let's just go." Rocky said. But Jason just remained silent. Rocky then glanced back at the girl who slowly started to walk towards them. At first Rocky couldn't see what she looked like, but as she came closer he quickly realized who she was.

"Emily!" Rocky practically shouted out the name. Jason shot him a warning glance and Rocky quickly clasped his mouth shut.

"We should go get her." Rocky said in a quieter voice, as he got ready to open his door, but Jason grabbed him and forced him back in his seat. Rocky gave Jason a confused look. But as the girl came closer, Rocky finally saw her eyes…

"That's not Emily…"

AN/ Hope that was ok. Please review!
