"We have them all?" The woman asked the man who was typing on the computer.
"Yep. All of the rangers that are on Earth, even those ones that appeared out of nowhere."
"And you're sure."
"Look we even got the ones from Mirinoi who have visited Earth, so we're good. Although we didn't get like three rangers."
"What?" The woman's eyes flashed red but the man just shook his head.
"Relax, we talked about this remember?"
"No."
"Here, look on screen." He typed in a few things and an image of a woman with red hair dressed in white appeared on the screen, "Udonna. She is, or was, the white mystic ranger. She wasn't that big of a threat, or at least she didn't fight like the other rangers." Pressing another button a man with gray hair and another with black hair appeared on the screen, "Leinbow and Daggeron. Both were rangers, but most of the fighting was left up to the other rangers."
"So why didn't we get them again?"
"Because you figured that even if they're left on Earth, there's not much they can do."
"Right. And that is right." She relaxed a little more and a twisted smile appeared on her face, "Once we get onto Earth, there's no way they can fight and destroy all of us. Even if they bring in reinforcements from other planets or anything. Earth is ours. And now everyone in the galaxy will know that we are in charge. No one has ever been able to conquer Earth; true there are those who have gotten close, but that doesn't count when we will take over the entire Earth."
The man stood up, "Yep. And then no one will mess with us. Let the rangers deal with things however they feel like it because since they're now on that planet they're never getting off." And with that the two laughed and then went back to looking at the plans to take over Earth.
TJ looked around confused, the last thing he had remembered he was in Justin's house and now here he was, in a jungle. He quickly got out his phone and tried to call, but his phone wouldn't work. Still looking around TJ tried to contact Andros, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley and Zhane, but none of them answered, in fact his morpher wasn't working either. This was not good. He listened for the sound of anything, but only was rewarded with silence. The dark man looked off in the distance and saw a hill top peaking over the trees, and deciding that was the best place to go to he headed off that way.
The blue space ranger had been walking for probably about half an hour when he heard water. Still keeping an eye out he headed towards it, perhaps he'd be able to get something to drink. It was odd that he hadn't seen any animals at all; surely they had to
be here somewhere. As he got closer to the water he could hear someone talking, and they were speaking English. Perhaps he'd be able to get answers.
He slowly crept up and saw that it was a girl, a pregnant girl, sitting by a tree. She was talking to…herself? Well whoever it was TJ knew that he should check on her to make sure she was okay.
Stepping out into the open he called out, "Excuse me, do you need help?"
Once TJ saw the brunette's face he realized that she looked familiar. All at once the girl was waving, "TJ. TJ. Hey."
TJ hurried over to her to help the struggling girl up, "Do I know you?" He asked, but once up close he realized who it was, "Marah?" The last time he had seen her was at Tommy and Kim's wedding.
"Hey. You're here! Well, you're not Dustin, but that's okay, because you're here. And you're the first person I've seen and I've been sitting there forever." She took a deep breath and paused watching TJ closely.
"Do you know where here is?"
A pout formed on the younger girls' mouth, "No. I wish I did."
"Are you okay?"
Shrugging she pushed a strand of hair out of her face, "Sure. Well as okay as one could be in this situation. You haven't seen Dustin by chance?"
"No, you're the first person I've seen."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Have you seen any animals or anything?"
Thinking for a few minutes she shook her head, "Nope. None. But its okay I bet they're hiding. You haven't seen Kapri either?"
"No."
"Okay, well how about Cam?"
"Marah, listen to me, I haven't seen anyone—" TJ stopped when he realized that Marah was falling. Quickly moving he laid her on the ground and sat next to her trying to wake her up. After about ten minutes she opened her eyes and smiled at him, "Thanks."
"You're welcome. Are you hungry, did you get hurt?"
"No. For either, I had just eaten a bunch before this." She said waving her hand at the sky.
"So then…"
"Oh, that. It's all part of the pregnancy." Sitting up she looked around again, "So what should we do?"
"I think we should head to that hill over there." TJ pointed at the hill he'd been originally heading to, "We'll be able to see much more alright?"
"Okay."
After getting up the man in blue helped up Marah, "Alright, if you need a break, or you're hungry, or thirsty, anything, just let me know."
Nodding Marah smiled and the two began walking towards the mountain.
Danny looked around the field he was in; it was a small field that was surrounded by trees. The last thing he remembered was being with Kendall and Max. He didn't see either of them in the field around him so Danny decided to go and look in the woods a little bit. As he was walking he remembered that he had his cell phone with him, he had almost forgotten it but Kendall pointed it out to him, which he was thankful for.
He couldn't get anything on his phone. He put it back into his pocket and decided to try calling their names. "Kendall. Max." Nothing, why weren't they answering him? He repeated a few times until he saw someone walking up to him. He braced himself until he recognized the man as Merrick. "Merrick, you're here."
Merrick nodded, "Shayla isn't."
"Oh. Well Kendall and Max aren't here and I was just with them."
"I need to find a way to get back to Shayla."
"Well we could just be in the jungle somewhere, let's look for someplace where we can ask for help."
"That would be the most logical explanation. I just hope Shayla is okay."
"I'm sure she's back at Turtle Cove, and we'll be there soon enough."
Merrick relaxed hearing Danny's soft, comforting words. After all these years Merrick had come to realize just how soft spoken Danny was. Nodding Merrick looked at Danny, "Alright, let's get somewhere that we can locate something."
"Alright. Well since I came from that way and you came from over there, should we try that way?"
"Sounds good." And the two men headed off into the jungle.
Andros woke up to someone repeatedly saying his name, it was Zhane and he was contacting him in his mind, which was odd since they had been near each other a few minutes ago. 'Zhane?'
'About time you woke up.'
'Why? How long have you been trying to contact me?'
'Forever.' Andros rolled his eyes and waited a minute, 'Okay, maybe just like ten minutes.'
'I thought so.' Looking around Andros saw that he was in a jungle, 'Zhane where are you at?'
'A jungle.'
'A jungle? Me too.'
'Great. I don't recognize this place.'
'Me neither.'
Andros began walking and carefully looking around. After a few minutes he saw a guy ahead. He stood up off the ground and shook his clothes so any excess dirt would come off. He had shaggy brown hair and was about Andros' height. Upon turning around Andros realized that he had met him at Tommy and Kim's wedding. "Hey."
'Did you find someone?' Zhane asked.
'Of course, I'm not just randomly calling out hey to the trees.'
Andros could feel Zhane's smile as Devin looked at him, "Wait a minute, I know you…Andros. You're Andros. One of Dr. O's friends."
"Yeah. And you're Devin right?"
"Yes. Where are we?"
"I have no idea. But we'll figure it out. Come on, we'll head this way."
"Right. That's a good idea."
"So were you alone?"
"Yeah, I just woke up and no one was near me."
'Nice answer.' Zhane smirked.
'Be quiet.' Andros shook his head, "No, I meant when you were taken."
"No I was with people, in fact a house full of people."
"Hmmm…"
"Anything?"
"Not yet."
The two continued in conversation until Andros heard Zhane say that he had found someone.
Kendall slowly stood up rubbing her arm. She had fallen on the ground from the tree. How she had ended up in the tree in the first place she didn't know. Last thing she had remembered was being at the church and Danny and Max were there. "Danny. Max. Anyone?"
No one answered. She took out her phone and was scared to see that it wasn't working. "Danny." She really wished that Danny was here. Turning around she was startled to see a man standing in front of her watching her. He was taller than her and had short white-blond hair.
"Excuse me, miss."
"What?"
"Are you okay? Your arm, you're rubbing it."
Kendall stopped and dropped her hand, "Where am I?"
"Not sure. I thought you might know."
"No. I don't."
"Alright." He stepped a few steps closer and Kendall took one back, "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to check out your arm alright?"
"It's fine, really."
"Please?" Kendall was scared as the man stepped closer, but at the same time she felt safe with him. He finally closed the distance and was right next to her. He did exactly what he had said he would do. After checking out her arm, which he said wasn't broken; he took a step back, "What's your name?"
"Kendall. You?"
"Zhane."
"Nice to meet you."
"Look, did you just kind of appear here?"
"In the tree."
Nodding Zhane thought for a minute before speaking, "Me too, minus the tree part."
"Oh." Kendall smiled which caused a bigger smile from Zhane.
"Look, I suggest we start walking, we might be able to find something, or someone else. Do you want to stick with me?"
Zhane hadn't done anything to hurt her, and she felt safe around him, so sticking with him was probably the smartest thing to do. "Yes, I will."
"Alright. Come on, let's go." And with that Kendall and Zhane headed off.
