Emma, Jake, and Troy had seen Noah go off to talk alone with Gia at the counter, but figured they were talking about something private. They were absorbed in their own conversation anyways, so they didn't really give the pair a second thought.

But, when they noticed it had been a half hour without any fro-yo, they looked back over to the counter and noticed they were both missing. The three rangers headed up and asked Ernie where Noah and Gia had gone.

"They went to the back to talk about something, but I would have assumed they'd be out by now."

The rangers all exchanged worried glances as they walked towards the storage room. Emma shook her head. "I better walk in and find Gia dead. There is no other reasonable explanation as to why she'd give me a heart attack like this, with everything else I have going on."

But much to the rangers' dismay... or delight... Noah and Gia were indeed not dead on the floor. They had completely vanished.

Jake looked around, trying to see if he could find anything on where his best friend and girlfriend had gone. Emma's eyes caught on a blender, and she tried to figure out if that was where she had always seen it in the past. Something about it stuck out to her.

Troy called Tensou, asking him to track Noah and Gia's morpher signals. His response only served to worry them more.

"I'm sorry rangers, but it appears their morphing signals have been turned off. However, when we first took you five as rangers, we installed chips into your bloodstream that would allow us to track your vitals, regardless of where you are. According to my readings, Gia and Noah's vital signs are completely normal."

Troy sighed. "Thanks, Tensou. Call us if you get any updates."

At that moment, after staring at the blender for what felt like an eternity, Emma found something she didn't like. She motioned the boys over and pointed to the corner of the blender.

"Does that look anything like blood to you?"

Jake looked even more worried at the thought of the two most important people in his life being taken by force. "What are the chances that is just raspberry or strawberry juice that spilled?"

Emma gave him a look. "Zero. We don't keep our fresh fruits in this storage room where there's no refrigeration."

Troy closed his eyes, trying to stay calm. "Okay. Tensou said they're alive and their vitals are normal. So at least for now, they're fine. But I'm willing to bet my life that Vrak has something to do with this, so I don't want to stall any longer than we need to. Let's get to the Command Center, and talk with Gosei. Maybe he'll have some idea about what our next move should be."

As they prepared to teleport to the Command Center, the pink ranger's eyes widened suddenly.

"Gavin."

She quickly ditched her apron and teleported, but the boys knew she was not headed to the Command Center.

Troy and Jake ran out to tell Ernie that something had come up, and he just nodded. If two of the teens were missing, he knew it was safe to assume this was ranger business.

As soon as they turned back into the storage room, they teleported straight to the hospital. Much to their relief, they found Gavin standing next to Emma, trying to calm her down. "Emma, I'm fine. Nothing has happened."

When he saw the boys arrive, without Gia or Noah, he knew something was up. "What's going on?"

Troy ran over and dragged both siblings out to a supply closet, so they could all teleport out without being seen. Emma finally felt herself relax a little when they arrived safely in the Command Center. Her mind was put at ease knowing Vrak wouldn't be able to find her brother, but she still felt worry for her two teammates who were in danger.

As Jake got Gavin caught up on what was going on, Tensou rolled into the central room. "Rangers, it appears that the blue and yellow ranger's morphers have just been turned on. I tracked the signal to the park. But not only have they been turned back on, they're currently in use."

They all turned to each other questioningly, but needed no further prompting. Emma instructed Gavin to stay put, and in the blink of an eye, she and the two boys had teleported out.

As soon as they arrived at the park, they were greeted by Noah and Gia morphed in their suits. Jake ran up to Noah. "Dude, what happened? Where were you guys? We've been worried sick." Emma was about to do the same to Gia, but she was immediately suspicious when Noah didn't react in any way to Jake's questioning.

At that moment, Metal Alice appeared. When she pressed a button on her tablet, Noah summoned his Bowgun and shot at Jake. The black ranger had just enough time to morph before he took the hit, but still went flying backwards. He landed hard on a park bench, and was slow to get up.

Troy and Emma immediately backed up, not wanting to be victim to the next attack from their friend. They both morphed, sensing the danger of the situation. Troy turned to the robot. "What the hell have you done?"

Vrak appeared next to Metal Alice. "We had a brief conversation with the blue and yellow ranger. It appears they have re-aligned their allegiances."

Emma felt like throwing up. "They would never turn their backs on us. We know you've done something to them."

"I guess the only way to find out is to beat them." As soon as Vrak finished his words, Gia pulled out her power card and summoned rocks that slammed into Troy. He was taken completely by surprise at the speed of the attack, and wound up on his back. The yellow ranger then turned her attention to the pink ranger and summoned her Tiger Claw. Emma looked around and saw Noah head for where Jake had fallen.

Vrak laughed. "Don't stop until they're all dead."
