Zeo[]

After gaining the Zeo Ranger powers, Tommy goes to the desert to find Sam. When he arrives at the desert, a swirl of dust appears from which a man named David appears on a horse. Tommy approaches him and asks him who he was but David doesn't answer and walks away. Tommy pursues David Trueheart through the desert but David always vanishes before Tommy can reach him. Soon after, Tommy is forced to abandon the search to fight Main Drain until later on that day. Tvicon TV STORY-Inner Spirit

When he returns after Main Drain's demise, the ground begins to shake. David calls for help as he is hanging off the edge of a cliff. A falcon appears, which Tommy is supposed to touch, but instead he rescues David. David tells Tommy that the falcon has lead him to find him and that a wise old man has given him half of an arrowhead, and that when he finds the other half, he will complete his quest. David asks Tommy for his half of the arrowhead and puts the two halves together, forming a whole arrowhead and thus David is revealed to be Tommy's brother. Tvicon TV STORY-Challenges

Tommy is stunned by the news, and David reveals that Sam Trueheart is his adoptive father. Tommy wants to know why he has been forced to go on this quest so David explains that the arrowhead contains a very strong power and so has to make sure that Tommy was his brother because they share the responsibility of not letting the arrowhead fall into evil hands. The following day, Tommy takes David to the Youth Center where they stand side by side and watch Rocky and Adam spar. Tommy leaves for a moment when he spots Tanya and Kat so Tommy calls David, Adam, and Rocky over and introduces David to his friends. David and Tommy spar, and David loses the match and is so embarrassed that he leaves the Youth Center in shame. Once outside, David is captured by Cogs as part of a plan by King Mondo to blackmail Tommy into giving him the arrowhead. David is taken to a cave far below the reservation and left there where he finds some cave drawings. Tvicon TV STORY-Found and Lost

After the death of Mace Face, one of the paintings comes to life as Autochthon who is enraged by the intrusion and attacks David. However, David escapes the cave when he grabs onto Autochthon as he teleports out to the desert where they are met by the Zeo Rangers. The Red Zeo Power Ranger grabs David and teleports him to safety which enrages him since he thinks that Tommy is a captive and they have doomed him but Zeo Ranger V unmasks and reveals himself to be Tommy. Although angry when he learns that Mondo has the full arrowhead, David is left at the Youth Center for safety and later regains his half of the arrowhead before returning to the reservation.

David Trueheart returns to Angel Grove for a "Catch The Wave" competition where he meets Tommy, Kat, and Rocky at the beach. Sitting on the beach watching Kat in the competition, David notices that the ocean water is changing to a murky green so he and Tommy hurriedly get into their wet suits and swim out to get Kat. David and Tommy have a turbulent time in the water but they reach Kat and all three manage to get to shore safely. Once there, Rocky's Communicator goes off and Kat and Tommy get close to Rocky to hear Zordon but David is mysteriously gone where they look back. David reappears later after the Rangers destroy Leaky Faucet where Tommy asks him where he went and David replies that he had a few things to take care of. Tvicon TV STORY-Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise
