Mrs. Moran felt like she couldn't breathe, and this time it had nothing to do with a collar. It did, however, have everything to do with the maniac that put the collar around her.

"Vrak has my daughter!"

"And she's the yellow Ranger," Mrs. Goodall added, though she wasn't sure that would calm Mrs. Moran down, it needed to be said. It was certainly big news.

"Vrak has my daughter!"

"The Rangers are working on it," Mrs. Goodall reassured her, "You know, because she's one of them. It's no wonder she wears yellow all the time."

"Vrak has my daughter!"

"Vanessa, I think you're kind of missing the second part of this shocking news," Mrs. Goodall took her friend in her arms, "Look, we just have to put our faith that the other Rangers will save her. I mean, this must happen all the time. I'm sure they'll get her back."

"Claire, he's going to kill her…"

"The Rangers will bring her home," Mrs. Goodall said. She walked Mrs. Moran over to the couch and helped her sit down. "We just… we need to be waiting for her when she gets back. Why don't I make us some tea?"

"Yeah… sure," Mrs. Moran nodded her head and hugged her knees to her chest as her best friend got up. As soon as Mrs. Goodall left the room, Mrs. Moran tried to make a run for it. She barely got into the hallway when she was tackled to the ground and pinned down.

"You can't trick me like that," Mrs. Goodall shook her head. "Vanessa, don't be stupid. The Rangers are taking care of this. We can talk to Gia about everything when she gets home. I'm sure she'll be able to answer all our questions."

"Claire, Vrak has my baby!" Mrs. Moran screamed before she sobbed into the floor. "He's going to kill her. Claire, I can't lose her."

"It'll be okay. She'll be fine. She's… she's a Power Ranger. She can handle this… I hope."

In the Command Center, Emma was barely listening as Gosei explained to the Rangers what he knew about the Wild Sword. Noah had heard Vrak mention it to Gia and so far it was the only clue they had as to what he wanted with her and where he was going to take it.

Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked over and saw Troy standing behind her with a soft look. She sighed.

"I've just… got a lot going on," she whispered. "We were supposed to beat that stupid Snail, and then go home so I could get some answers."

"Answers?"

"Dude…" Jake grumbled as he looked over his console, "No way. We lost the game! All the papers are blaming me."

"Jake, we have more important things to worry about," Noah reminded him. "Case in point: your girlfriend."

"Dude, I know. I'm just checking the score. I was hoping for some good news. Tensou, any luck locating that Wild Sword."

"I have the Black Mountains," Tensou pulled up a map, "I'm sorry to say I can't get any more specific."

"Perfect."

Troy sighed and turned back to Emma. He offered her a sympathetic smile. "We'll get Gia back, stop Vrak from getting whatever he wants, and then you can go home and get those answers."

"Answers? What answers?" Noah over head the Sky Rangers talking and couldn't help but be curious. Emma breathed out a heavy sigh and turned to her console.

"I… I've kind of learned something about myself the other day," she whispered. "Mom was frozen, though, so I couldn't really learn much."

"What did you learn?"

"Dad's not… my dad."

There was a silence in the command center for a moment before Jake frowned and shrugged his shoulders, "Alright, so… that's good right? I mean, the maniac who went postal and tried to shoot Gia because her dad was taking care of you isn't your dad. All's fair."

"Jake, it's a little more complicated than that," Noah smacked his best friend in the arm and then turned to Emma, "Do you know who he is?"

"I wanted to talk to mom," Emma said. "Gia and Mrs. Moran say she doesn't know anything, but… I don't know, maybe she figured something out the day she was frozen, and she couldn't say anything because she was frozen. I wanted to stop the monster and then go home and get some answers."

"Look, if you need to sit out…"

"Sit out rescuing Gia from Vrak?" Emma asked Troy in disbelief, "Have you lost your mind? For starters, she's my best friend! She's always looking out for me! I've got to be there to help her."

"Whoa, sorry, I'm just trying to help."

Emma took a deep breath and calmed herself down, "Sorry. It's just… yeah, that for one. Also… I don't know if I want to get answers without Gia. Dad might not be the maniac behind bars, but who knows who he could be. Jordan's all the way upstate so at least if Gia's there, I've got someone…"

"Rangers, you're going to have to start looking for yourselves," Tensou said. "The energy readings from the Black Mountains are off the charts! There's no way I can pinpoint Gia or Vrak's locations."

"What energy readings?" Emma asked. "Aren't the Black Mountains just…"

"I heard Vrak talking about the Wild Sword," Noah said and he flicked his thumb over to Gosei, "According to our mentor here, the Wild Sword's got incredible power."

"It was made to defend the Earth, but it was impossible to control," Troy finished for Noah. "It was buried away for everyone's protection."

"Vrak must be trying to harness its power for himself," Gosei said. "Rangers, you need to stop him. That much power in his hands will mean disaster for everyone."

"If he's going after a powerful sword, why did he want Gia?" Emma asked.

"You want to wait and find out?" Jake asked her. Emma shook her head and then turned to Tensou.

"Any hints on where this sword might be?"

"Black Mountains," Tensou shrugged. "I'm sorry, Rangers, that's all I can tell you."

"I guess that's all we need," Troy said. "Alright, guys, we know Vrak can be sneaky. Let's be careful, but let's get the job done. Vrak's not getting anything he wants."
