Alice was walking down a bridge, humming to herself.

She looked down at her phone, seeing she had no new messages. She was going to meet up with the rest of the rangers, to discuss strategy. A cold air blew down the bridge.

She looked down at the water, thinking back to a weather forecast she'd seen earlier that day. Large waves and surges of water were to be expected.

Turning down to the water, she saw some of the upsets begin to take shape. Jarred appeared in front of her.

"Alice, let's do this, you and I," he said with a smile.

"No," she said.

"Then what?" he asked.

"Then nothing," Alice said.

He lunged towards her, grabbing her face. She pushed him away, his head hitting the side of the bridge. He felt himself slipping, almost falling over.

"You'll be my next conquest," he sighed. "Ninja Storm! Ranger Form! Ha!" he called out, morphing into the black ranger, and attacking her.

"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form! Ha!" she called out, initiating her morphing sequence. "Power of Fire!" she exclaimed, transforming into the pink ranger.

She began to fight with Jarred.


Jasec stood on the top of a building, looking up at Blue Bay Harbour.

"I'm the lowest kind of divine, the lowest kind of powerful," he sighed. "I'm under a lot, but I won't be under Jarred." He smiled. "He's given me the push I needed," he added, before whistling, calling down a heavenly light.

The other six rangers were making their way down the street, when Jasec ran up to them, along with a group of five similar looking people. They had outfits that resembled his, and wing mounted to their backs.

"These are my classmates," Jasec sighed. "Together, we're going to destroy every trace of you losers."

"Why?" Shane asked, clenching his fists.

"Because we know what we have to do to get what we want," Jasec said.

"Ready?" Shane asked. The other five nodded. The rangers morphed, and charged off against Jasec and his team, holding their ground for a moment.

The winged fighters began studying the rangers' moves immediately, countering them and striking critical blows.


The King lay on his living room floor, staring out at his view screen, watching the footage of the team. His girlfriend, The Queen, walked up to him.

"What are you looking at?" she asked, sitting down next to him.

"It's the fight, between the rangers and the other guys," he sighed. "I, uh, I wanted to join the fight, but I was waiting to see what side was winning."

"This is an important thing, okay, when these guys fight, people's lives hang in the balance, on both sides," she reminded him.

"So?" he asked, throwing his hands up in the air.

"You can't just…bet on who wins, that irresponsible," she sighed. "I'm not letting you fight these rangers, or the other guys."

"Fine," he sighed. "Can I at least call Jarred's mother?"

"Why?" The Queen asked.

"I think she'd want to know what her son's been up to," he explained. "I might not have a stake in this fight, but she does."

"Fine," she said. "Where'd you even get all of this footage."

"Jarred likes to keep taps on everyone, the prick," The King said. "He's...a dangerous man."

"You don't need to tell me about dangerous men," The Queen sighed.

"Do you know what happens when I demigod dies?" he asked his girlfriend, sitting up straight and looking her in the eyes.

"The gods get angry," she said. "I read all the old legends too."


As the rangers began to adjust, their opponents started switching up targets. Im minutes, the rangers fell to the ground.

Jasec signaled his team, who dispersed. Jasec looked up at the world around him, and smiled.

Hunter, trying to get up, looked down at his phone, seeing he had a missed call from Alice, who was struggling with Jarred. He pressed himself against her

"Alice is is trouble," he groaned before collapsing on the ground with his teammates. The rest of them tried to get up, failing aswell. Jasec wandered off.

Hunter made his way to his feet, and morphed, running up to Alice, who was still grappling with Jarred.

He ran up to Jarred, and then two of them wrestled. They slipped, falling over the edge and from the bridge to the water below. Hunter cried out. They continued wrestling, splashing about. A surge of water came between them, knocking them away from eachother.

"Hunter!" Alice called out, into the water.

Jarred checked his morpher, seeing it ruined by the water. He tapped it, and it didn't respond. Swimming up to the mostly unconscious Hunter, he grabbed his hand, and ripped the functional morpher from him, strapping it onto his own wrist.

He laughed, and he swam to shore, tossing the crimson ranger aside. Another surge of water hit Hunter.

Alice ran around the area, looking for a way to the bottom of the bridge. She saw her teammates, defeated on the ground. Jasec walked up to them.

"Alice, there you are! Hunter and Jarred are gone, we can be together now!" he exclaimed, reaching out to her.

"No!" she said, backing away.

"I know you like nobody else," he said. He closed his eyes, and touched her shoulder, and she was a vision into his mind. She saw fire.

He compelled her to close her eyes, and the two of them concentrated on each other. She tried to mentally overpower him, but she felt him in her mind.

"No," she sighed. "Get out."

"We're together in this," he said.

Alice felt him, feeling his mind, and then approached his mind, entering it fully; she remembered the first time they kissed, and how she backed away, and he did the same. She thought about how, as their lips touched, his wings rose, and began to glow.

He felt the feathers on his wings falling off, the mechanisms holding them in place becoming visible, the bones connecting them to his spine exposed.

"What's going on?" he asked, his voice fading momentarily. He felt the scales on his neck vanishing.

"If we're mentally linked, I can influence you, and your powers, just as you can influence me," she said. He felt himself falling to the ground, and grabbed her hips, as he kneeled in the ground in front of her.

Alice saw a flash of light, and then the crimson ranger, pulling Jasec off of her.

"Don't worry," he said, in a deep voice. "I'm here for you."

"Hunter?" she asked. "Is that you?"

He de-morphed to reveal Jarred. "The two of us were separated by a wave, and so be both tried to swim to the land," he explained. "I found him, and my morpher broke, so I took his. Then, I kicked him out further."

"Get away from me," Alice said.

"You'll be safe if you're with me," Jarred said. A bullet shot up to him, hitting him in the leg. "Ah!" he cried out, falling to the ground.

Alice looked up, and saw Jarred's mother, Agatha.

Jasec slipped away.

"What are you doing here?" Alice asked.

"Someone called me," Agatha said. "He had information about my son, and that he was stirring trouble here. I got a gun, and came as soon as I could, to put a stop to him."

She buried the pistol in her pocket. An ambulance charged up to them.

"That's for Jarred," she added.

"You called an ambulance?" Alice asked.

"Of course, he's my son," Agatha said. "I wanted to stop him, not destroy him. Jay…he's special."

"How much do you know?" Alice asked.

"Enough to know what to do," Agatha explained.

"I'll never understand this family," Alice sighed. She grabbed Hunter's morpher, then stepped away, joining her teammates.

"Should we stay to see this out?" Tori asked.

"I don't think so," Alice said.

She walked over to her teammates, helping them up. They made their way over to Ninja Ops.

"So, what are we doing about Jarred?" Blake asked.

"Well, he's going to the hospital, and there's a bullet in him," Tori sighed. "So we don't have to worry."

"Maybe Jasec's the real threat," Shane said. Dustin nodded. The two of them sat down in the sand, next to each other.

"Well, I think Lothor's our biggest problem," Tori said, sitting down with Shane and Dustin.

"We should look for Hunter," Cam said. Alice turned to him nodded.

"How?" Tori asked. The rest of the team shrugged.

"He was abandoned in the ocean, without his morpher," Alice noted.

"He's probably, like, super worried," Dustin sighed. He walked over to Sensei. "What do we do?" he asked.

Sensei looked down at the ring.

"One of you needs to capture Jasec in this ring," he sighed.

Shane and Tori stepped forward. "I'll do it!" they said together. They turned to each other.

"Maybe we could both do it," Tori suggested. "Like, one of us lures him, then the other one captures him."

"I'll do the luring," Shane said. "I'm the leader, he's probably expecting me to lead the charge."

"What about Hunter?" Alice asked.

"The matter of Hunter will work itself out in time," Sensei said. "Also, you must be careful with the ring. It will contain Jasec, but it will not stop his power."

"Okay," Shane sighed, taking the ring, and handing it to Tori. "We will."

"We should start looking for Hunter in the meantime, the longer we wait, the harder it'll be," Blake said.

Cam walked over to the computer.

"I'll start tracking him, you guys find Jasec and confront him, let's end this," he sighed.

The five of them made their way around the city, looking for Jasec. They split up, and Alice found herself wandering into an abandoned alleyway. Standing there, drenched in water, was Hunter.

"Hunter?" she asked.

"I've been looking for you," he said, walking up to her. He hugged her. "I was making my way up to Ninja Ops..someone took my phone and morpher."

"Jarred.." Alice sighed, as she handed them back to him. "But you don't have to worry about Jarred anymore."

"What happened?" Hunter asked.

"He got shot," she sighed. "What happened to you."

"The weather conditions...the water sucked me in," Hunter sighed. "And as I sank further and further, I felt hands all around me. Mermaid hands. And they saved me."

She hugged him tighter. "I'm glad you're okay," she sighed. She called the team together to show that Hunter was back.

Jasec approached the seven of them, along with his entourage.

"It seems that now is as good a time as any to demolish you," he sighed.

"Why are you doing this?" Hunter asked.

"You were right," Jasec said. "I am a part of this fight. We're just on different sides."

Alice walked up to him, tearing up. She morphed.

Shane signalled Tori, and the two of them got ready to take him out.

"It's Lothor and Jarred," Alice said. "They've gotten into your head, made you think this is the right thing to do. They've made you think that this is the right thing to become. You don't have to listen to them."

"I don't have to listen to you either," he said, pushing her to the ground. The other ranges morphed and made their way up to him, and his team of angels blocked them.

Shane ran up to Jasec. "I'm going to recapture you!" he said, holding out his hand. He slapped it, then jumped on him. Tori came up behind him, hitting him. She slammed the ring onto his head, and slowly he felt absorbed by it. The rest of the rangers fought with the rest of their adversaries.

"No!" Jasec said, falling to he ground. "I'm not a person..I'm not like Jarred. I won't be treated like this."

"You need to be stopped," Alice said. She gazed into the abyss of his eyes.

"We could be beautiful together," he said to her. "We could be immortal together."

The ring began to glow as it fully absorbed Jasec. Fire spread all around them, and Alice reached out, guiding and containing it.

Shane caught the ring, holding it tight in his hand, and he and Tori embraced for a moment, before going to face the rest of their attackers, who began to back away after seconds of fighting without Jasec's lead.

"If he's gone...we don't want to fight you," one of them sighed. "It was his fight, it was ugly, and it is over." The rest of them nodded.

They teleported away.

The rangers made their way back to Ninja Ops, and handed the ring back to Sensei, as they explained what had happened.

"I am very proud of the work you've done today," he sighed. "Rest. We'll pick this up in the morning."

"What's going to happen to Jarred?" Blake asked.

"I will see into it," Sensei said.

"He has some contacts working at his hospital," Cam said. "And he's powerless, so we just have to call the police on him, and he'll go to prison."

"Where he'll hopefully be for a long, long time," Alice sighed, crossing her arms.

"And, uh, Jasec?" Dustin asked.

Sensei looked down at the ring. "We will contain him while we figure out how to rehabilitate and help him," he said.

"A few down, a few to go," Shane said.

"Well, more than a few," Tori said. "Lothor probably has more tricks up his sleeves."

"Not to mention, um, the King's still pretty dangerous," Dustin said. "I don't really understand his deal."

"None of us do," Blake sighed.

"Soon enough," Hunter said.

"Hopefully," Cam said.

Alice walked up to the ring. "Can we use Jasec's power from the ring?" she asked.

"Unfortunately not," Sensei sighed. "All of it's previous users found out quickly how dangerous it was. It would be best to learn from their experiences, and not wait for our own."

"I understand," she sighed.
