The last person Adam Park was expecting to see in his apartment was his predecessor, Zack Taylor. He also wasn't expecting the punch to his jaw.

"You moron!" Zack shouted. "What were you thinking!? Were you trying to kill yourself?!"

"Hey, when did you get back from Switzerland?" Adam asked, rubbing his jaw.

"Don't change the subject on me! You know how dangerous using that morpher is! What on Earth possessed you to do that?"

"I had to! The monster would've killed Carlos!" Zack ran his fingers through his hair and let out an exasperated groan.

"Okay, you wanna explain to me why the active Ranger wasn't morphed?"

"He was having some doubts---wasn't sure he could cut it. He had even given up his morpher."

"Okay, so it was an emergency. Fine. But I hope you know that your little stunt had an unexpected side affect."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about how I was in the middle of a meeting when all of a sudden it feels like I'm being ripped apart by Goldar."

"Oh, man. I had no idea the morph was going to affect you too. I'm sorry."

"I guess it's okay…seeing how it was an emergency." Then, "So, how was it? Being in uniform?"

"It was great. It was---"

"Morphinominal?"

"Yeah." The two chuckled.

"Hey, you know, Billy is trying to figure out how to restore the morphing energy," Zack told him.

"That'd be great, huh?" Adam queried.

"Yeah, it really would be…although I think Rocky's happy with the civilian life," Zack commented.

"So again, why did you get back from Switzerland?" Adam wondered.

"A couple of months ago. It was time for me. But Trini's still there," Zack replied.

"So, how were the peace conferences anyway?"

"Oh, it was great man. I swear---there's nothing like it. We did a lot of good." The two continued to talk for several hours. Finally, Zack headed for the door.

"It was good seeing you, man. Come back soon."

"I will." Zack headed for the door. Then, as he headed out, "And if you ever do anything that stupid again, I'll sic Aisha on you."

"No! Please! Anything but that!" The only response to Adam's cry was a slamming door.
