Today:

Hammond was dragged back into his lair, where his Evorangers put him down on his chair. He took a moment to recover from his last fight, contemplating on what had happened only moments ago.

"I don't understand it..." he said, "... how did he suddenly grow this powerful? For that matter, I thought I had rid the suit of that which has it change ownership to the one who beat him. Did he somehow break that seal? And how did he know how to do it?"

"Either way..." Shark Red spoke, "... only three of us won't be enough."

"You'll have to use those other two gems." Rat Blue suggested.

Hammond thought about that for a moment: "You're right. It would help me get my mind off it for a moment, 'till I can think more clearly about this."

He got up, though he still needed Rhino Yellow's help to find his balance first. Once he found it, he started towards there where he had last laid the other gems that Rat Blue mentioned. But when he got there, he found out that they were gone.

"What...?" he couldn't understand it. He searched the entire area around the working table where he had last put them, but found nothing: "Where are they?"

The Evorangers looked at each other, then back at Hammond.

"These things couldn't have walked away on their own!" Hammond shouted.

He waited, as though he expected an answer or an explanation from the three of them, but soon enough realized he was being unreasonable. He shook his head.

At the Dino-house, meanwhile, the Abarangers were using their computers to try and track down their lost friend. But they couldn't find anything.

"How does he keep doing that?" Ryouga wondered, "Just disappearing like this?"

"Funny..." Yukito sounded sarcastic, "... it wouldn't be the first time he disappeared like this. But never did we try and find out where he goes exactly."

"That's only because one of us thought we should leave him be." Nakadai spoke.

"You can't blame Ranru for this!" Mahoro exclaimed to him.

"It's useless to point the finger at people." Ryunnosuke cut in between them.

"Hey! This is interesting!" Emiri shouted, after which she pointed to the screen.

Three dots were osculating on their screen, to which Emiri explained: "These are the same readings as last time those Evorangers showed up!"

"They're not moving." Yukito noticed, "Could this be their hide-out?"

Seeing the map, Nakadai's eyes began twitching.

"Nakadai-sensei, something wrong?" Ryouga asked him.

"I remember now..." Nakadai replied, hesitantly.
