Zane and the others, which included Andrew, walked up in the temple. Monica, who was in the middle of training, noticed them coming up badly wounded. Worry filled her mind, she ran over to them though mostly to Carson. Monica sprinted over, and hugged Carson tightly.

"What happened?" She asked.

Carson held her, "Jayden was taken."

Monica let him go, "What? How?"

"He was taken by Zara." Liz said.

Monica looked stunned, "The lost child? Zara the orphan?"

Tia nods, "Yes and who was also my singing student."

Monica placed a hand on Tia's arm for support, "I'm sorry."

Zane glances to Monica, "Sorry to rush things but we need to see Kaito."

Monica frowned, "You might want to talk to Jun or Daishi. I've been unable to have any contact with Kaito since he has been put on bed-rest."

Liz looked worried, "Is he that bad?"

Monica shrugs, "They aren't sure."

Alex looks down, "Damn."

Monica shakes her head, "Sorry I am making situations even worst with more depressing news."

Rena took a step forward, "Monica there is one more thing I need you to do for us."

Monica nods, "Anything."

Rena pulls Andrew over, "I need you to watch my brother for a while. See to it that he gets home at five if I don't come back before then." Rena said.

Monica nods, "Of course."

Andrew turns to look at Rena, "Rena you can't- it's too dangerous."

Rena looks at him, "Andrew- I am a Power Ranger. I gotta go this, I gotta protect everyone. I have to save Jayden."

Andrew looks down and then back up, "Be careful sis."

Rena smiles, "I will big bro."

Zane smiles at that sibling moment, "Well we better go find Kaito."

Carson turns to Monica, "Promise me you won't get killed." Monica says.

Carson kisses her forehead, "I promise."

Monica nods, "Okay."

Carson turns to the others, aside from the fact that Carson had a "soft side", the others had no idea that Carson and Monica had became an item well besides Rena. Carson blushes and forms a serious expression to make himself look mature.

"We- We better go uh go find Kaito." Carson said and begins to walk.

Zane snickers, "Yeah."

The other rangers walked down a hallway and found themselves lost in the halls, once lost they saw this door that Jun and Daishi were standing in front of. Zane and the others walked over to them and that is when the two monks noticed the rangers.

"Rangers?" Jun spoke.

"We need to speak to Kaito." Liz said.

"He- can't see anyone right now." Daishi said.

"That wasn't a suggestion." Tim said.

Jun and Daishi looked puzzled, "I beg your pardon?" Jun spoke.

Zane looks at them, "Listen Kaito is the only one we can think of that can help us find Jayden and save him."

Daishi looked more concerned, "Something happened to Jayden?"

Tia nods, "He was taken by Zara."

Jun and Daishi exchanged looks, "Zara." "Can't be."

Alex looks at them, "She is the Gold Ranger."

Carson nods, "And also the orphan that you guys took in when she was a baby."

Jun exhales, "We'd hope she was alive but- not on the side of Vaatu."

Daishi looks upset, "I wonder how that happened."

Rena looks at the monks, "Look we can explain all of it later but first we need to save Jayden."

Jun nods, "Very well."

The door opens and all seven enter this room. The room had books on some shelves, some pictures of Jayden and Kaito as well as probably Jayden's parents, a bed, and a nightstand where there were water and medication.

Kaito coughs, "Who is it?"

"Us, sir." Zane replies.

"Rangers," Kaito coughs, "What is going on?"

Tia looks at Kaito, "Kaito- uh sir you see Jayden was taken."

Kaito nearly threw himself out of bed, "What?"

Carson rushes to the side of the bed, "Whoa old timer calm down."

"Is he alright?" Kaito asked being lowered down.

"We think, but we need your help." Rena said.

Kaito nods and coughs lightly, "You want me to help you track him."

Zane nods, "Jayden explained to me that your power can track people. So I assumed that you could show us where we could go."

Kaito lightly smiles, "In my current state not so much but there is another way of tracking him."

Alex looks at Kaito, "Another way?"

"How?" Zane asked.

Kaito nods at the teens, "Carson and Tia."

Carson and Tia exchanged looks, "Us?"

Kaito nods with a gentle smile, "The powers of light and darkness sees all. Originally that power was used to find people, light was able to find the good people and darkness was able to find the evil in the world."

Carson looks at Kaito, "But how do we- track him?"

Kaito coughs lightly, "By focusing on the one you want to find. You must hold hands and focus on Jayden and nothing but Jayden."

Liz seemed a bit shocked, "And that will work?"

Kaito nods, "It did in the time of legends."

Zane nods, "Thank you Kaito and we'll bring Jayden back."

-ELEMENTFUSION-

Zara was pacing back in forth in the room they were in, Jayden was sitting on the floor against the wall. He was hot, the sweat ran down his face. He lifted his head up to see Zara, he couldn't read her energy and knew if he tried likely is she might snap again like what happened before.

"Are you going to kill me?" Jayden asked.

Zara stopped pacing and turned to Jayden. The whole room was silent, not a single sound in the whole building. Zara began to walk over and then knelt down in front of Jayden, he and her stared into each others eyes.

"What do you think?" Zara asked.

"I think you aren't." Jayden said.

Zara smirked, "And why is that?"

Jayden looks at her sadly, "Because we both are alone."

Zara shakes her head, "No. No we aren't. You have a grandfather."

Jayden shakes his head, "But I don't have parents anymore-. Like you, we both- don't belong."

Zara shakes her head, "Stop. Stop messing with my head."

Jayden looks at her, "I would never."

Zara calms down, "Jayden did you- did you look for me?"

Jayden looks at her expression, the calmness and the child like facial expression it held. Zara looked like she wouldn't attack but Jayden did feel like he was standing on egg shells, if he said the wrong thing it could easily set her off.

"Yes, I looked everywhere." Jayden said.

Zara nods, "But not here."

Jayden watches her stand up, "Where is here?"

Zara turns to him, "You don't remember?"

Jayden stands, "Apparently not."

Zara looks at him like a child, "This is where we placed house."

Jayden felt shocked, "The old school house."

*FLASHBACK*

Twelve year old Jayden and six year old Zara stood outside a recently abandoned school house. The house was still painted red on the outside, there was a white fence around it gating in the small playground it had.

Jayden turned to Zara, "Look Zara. Guess what this is?"

Zara shrugs, "I dunno."

Jayden smiles, "This is our home. We can play pretend here, just like you always want."

Zara smiles a big smile, "Really."

Jayden nods, "But it'll be our little secret."

Zara giggles, "Okay."

*FLASHBACK OVER*

Jayden stood seeing Zara move forward and pull down the old curtains, he saw the rusted swing set in the high grass. Zara turns to him and then began to walk back over here. Jayden felt her touch his face with her hand.

"I woke up in this school house after the cloud took me from the temple." Zara said.

Jayden looks at her, "Zara."

"So I ask again, did you look for me?" Zara asked.

Jayden exhales deeply, "Apparently not well enough."

Zara nods, "Thought so."

-ELEMENTFUSION-

Tia and Carson awkwardly reached out and held each others hands. They were at the bottom of the stairs of the temple.

"Focus," Tia tells Carson.

"I know," He says.

Rena and Zane exchange looks at each other, Liz and Tim shrug at each other, and Alex had this jealous expression on his face but none of the other rangers noticed it. Suddenly Tia and Carson were both surrounded by their element, they both closed their eyes and then opened it. Tia's eyes were yellow and Carson's were black, during this Carson and Tia saw from a vision where Jayden was being held by Zara. After that quick image they saw the energy from their powers dulled out and their eyes returned to normal.

"Whoa," Liz says.

Alex rushes to Tia first, "You okay?"

Tia nods, "Yeah."

Zane looks at Carson, "Did it work?"

Carson nods, "We know where they are."

Tim nods, "Good. Lead the way you two."

Carson and Tia began running first and the others ran right behind them. The rangers ran further through the forest in the direction of east, they passed more and more trees and it felt endless. Upon they moved a tree branch to find an abandoned building before them.

"This is it." Tia said.

"Better morph huh?" Rena says.

Zane nods, "Ready guys?"

They nods.

"Elements Among Us! Element Fusion!" They shout.

The rangers walked up to the building and saw the cracked red paint and rusted gate around the building. They heard some screaming coming from inside and the sound of glass breaking. The rangers exchanged looks and knew this had to be it.

"What are we going to do?" Liz asked.

"Okay, we are going to split up. Tim, Liz, and Rena go in the back. Carson, myself, Alex, and Tia will go in the front." Zane said.

The rangers nods and break up. Liz, Tim and Rena go off around back as the other four walk up to the front door. Zane opened the door and felt the heat coming from the inside, it was insane. The heat didn't bother Zane too much being the fact that fire is his element.

"I need to do this!" A shout came from another room.

"That's Zara's voice." Tia whispered.

Zane nods, "We better move." Zane said.

The rangers moved further into the house and were peaking out from different sides of the walls. In the main room Zara held her blade at Jayden, and he was laying on the ground. His forehead was bleeding and glass was around him.

Zane looked forward and saw from the other end that Liz, Tim, and Rena were there. Zane nods at them, he looks around and turns back to his small squad.

"Okay Carson I want you to use your power to make it dark in here, Alex use your power to have roots tie Zara down." Zane said.

Carson nods, "Okay."

Alex nods as well, "Ready when for this."

Zane nods. Carson leans a bit forward and moves his hands generating a dark smoke, which then grew larger and larger.

"What- What is this?" Zara spoke in panic.

This was Alex's turn. Alex touched the floor of the building and then lifted it up, which brought the roots to come to the surface. The roots wrapped themselves around Zara's ankles and nearly caused her to fall onto the ground.

"Zara-?" Jayden spoke.

"Get- off of me!" Zara screams.

Zane turns to Tia, "Think you can manage your way in there?"

Tia nods, "Yeah I think so."

Alex got a bit nervous, "Maybe- I should go."

Tia shakes her head, "No need to get worried about me. I'll be fine."

Tia smiles at Alex one last time, and then walks into the room surrounded by the darkness Carson created. Jayden laid on the floor, completely blinded to all of this. Suddenly a hand covered his mouth, he nearly yelped but then a familiar voice whispered in his ear.

"It's me, Tia." Tia whispered.

Jayden relaxed, so she helped guide him in their direction. Once Jayden made it to Zane and the others, Zane nods to Carson. Carson made the cloud of darkness disappear. Zara stood confused in the room alone, still tied down by the roots.

"Jayden-!" Zara screamed.

Jayden breathed heavily, he closed his eyes and looked away. This girl wasn't the same girl he knew when they were children, she isn't the same. Zane could feel Jayden's pain but remembered their mission, they got Jayden but needed to get out. Zane turned his head back to the room, the other rangers peaked over. Zane nodded trying to make a hand motion to say "get out", but Zara began cutting the roots with her blade.

"We gotta go, and now." Zane said.

The rangers quickly got out of the house, as they all regrouped outside Zane had flames in his hands and threw them at he building. Jayden went to run back in but Carson and Alex pulled him back, Tia also screamed at this action and was held back by Rena and Liz.

"Zara-!" Jayden screams.

"No-!" Tia yells.

Liz pulled her cousin back, "Tia snap out of it!"

"Jay we gotta go!" Carson yells.

Tia and Jayden calmed down and then were released, Zane turns to them and sighs.

"It needed to be done. I'm sorry." Zane said.

Jayden nods, "I understand."

Rena looks at him, "Jayden we better get you back. You're bleeding."

Jayden looks a bit surprised, "Am I?"

Liz smiles, "But lucky you that you'll live."

Tim nods, "Yeah no man left behind."

Jayden nods, "Right. Thank you, all of you."

Zane walks over and lightly punches his shoulder, "Let's get you home buddy."

-ELEMENTFUSION-

Back at the temple Monica and Andrew were about to leave when they saw the rangers walking back. Monica smiles widely and began to run over, Carson braced himself for her. He hugged her tightly and then kissed her on the lips. Andrew smiles seeing Rena alive and safe, he ran over and hugged his sister.

"Oh Rena, you're okay." Andrew said.

"Always am." Rena said.

Jayden groans, "You guys better head home. It's been- a long day for all of you."

Tia looks at Jayden, "You sure? Maybe we should at least wait until we know you're alright."

Alex nods, "Yeah."

Jayden shakes his head, "That's quite alright. Besides, go and enjoy this time of peace. You might not get this too much."

Zane nods, "Okay but I say after you get those stitches in your head go see your grandfather."

Jayden nods, "Planned on it."

Liz smiles, "Bye Jay and get better."

Jayden nods, "I will."

Jayden walks off leaving the rangers to themselves. Carson and Monica hold hands and begin walking, Andrew and Rena begin walking and talking about how she is a superhero, Liz and Tim begin walking together, Tia walks with Alex and Zane. Alex shoves Zane forward, with a goofy smile on his face.

"Come on leader." Alex said.

Zane groans, "Grow up." He snickers.

-ELEMENTFUSION-

"It seems Zara was defeated." General Dyme said.

"Do not be fooled," Vaatu says.

Appearing from the shadows next to Vaatu in his chamber of darkness was Zara, she had some burns and ash on her. She looked angry and held her morpher in her hands. General Dyme was shocked and stunned, no human would have been able to survive the fire.

"But- how?" General Dyme spoke.

"I may be human but I do know when there is a recuse mission. I let them leave, I was done with them." Zara said.

"You let them escape!" General Dyme shouts.

"Yes, because I have my own plan on destroying them one by one." Zara said.

Vaatu turns to her, "No. You are too valuable to waste on more wasteful attacks, you will rest up until I say otherwise." Vaatu said.

"But sir-." Zara said.

"Do I make myself clear!" Vaatu shouts.

Zara nods, "Yes sir."

Vaatu nods, "Very well. General Dyme find the elite squad, its time we stop those rangers once and for all." Vaatu says.

I want to thank the support from you guys. You are so positive and kind it really means a lot. My kitten is doing the same, we have to give her an IV daily and basically force feed her but she seems to be taking the medication and I am hoping its going to get better with her.

This chapter is not my favorite however I can spoil this after the defeat of Vaatu there will be more to it, I mean it'll be the end of "season 1" but there will be a "season 2", and maybe even a mini arc where I might collab with TimmayIsAwesome with his series.

By the way the series book'n'musiclover12 is doing is its own series. It may be connected to my series but there is no way it has to do with my plot line, if it has information about events that hasn't happened yet then it may or may not happen in mine. That project is its own work by this author and I am not co-writing it in any way.

NEXT TIME: Zane works up the nerve to ask Rena out on a date, only to find that her foster family ends up inviting him to dinner and game night with them. Meanwhile, Vaatu sends a new monster out to destroy the rangers.

On the next chapter: Will You Be Mine?
