Emergency
Meanwhile, back in outer space, the other rangers were performing some routine checks and repairs aboard the Mega ship when Deca's emergency alarm sounded. "Alert! There is an attack in Angel Grove Park." The computer commanded the remaining four rangers. They rushed to their gliding tubes, before Andros thought to ask, "Deca, what about Ashley?"
"I will contact her only if necessary Andros." Deca replied and the four rangers shot through space to land morphed in the park. The monster Dark Spectre sent down was tougher than he looked and with one ranger gone, the other four were hard pressed in battle. It wasn't long before all four rangers were completely exhausted and the monster was able to trap them and steal them away to an undisclosed location.
"Ai, Ai, Ai." Alpha said frantically. "What are we going to do?" the robot asked Deca.
"I will contact Ashley." Deca stated as she initiated a sequence to communicate with the yellow ranger.
Beep, Beep, Beep, went Ashley's communicator during lunch with her father and brother. Excusing herself, she went outside to respond to Deca's alert. "What is it Deca?" She asked worriedly, knowing there must be some sort of emergency.
"Ashley, the other rangers have been captured. They need your help right away." Deca urged the yellow ranger.
"I'm on my way Deca." Ashley said as she hurried back to her dad and Jeff and explained why she had to go. Understanding, Ashley left her dad and brother and teleported quickly to the Mega ship.
"Who's responsible for their disappearance?" Ashley demanded as she appeared on the bridge.
"One of Dark Spectre's newest monsters Raven. He wore the others out and teleported them away." Deca informed her.
Ashley paused to think for a minute. "Scan for their power signatures."
"Scanning for power signatures." Alpha echoed as he pushed some buttons. Dots of pink, blue, black, and red confirmed their location in an abandoned warehouse in downtown Angel Grove.
"I'm going after them. No one hurts my teammates and gets away with it." Ashley declared, clenching her fists.
"Be careful Ashley, it might be a trap." Deca warned the yellow ranger, hoping her loyalty to her teammates wouldn't cause her to get caught as well.
Ashley teleported to outside the warehouse. Listening outside the doorway she saw a metal cage hanging from the ceiling. Three of Dark Spectre's monsters were making final preparations on which Ashley assumed to be a trap for her.
"So you see, we'll lure the yellow ranger here with the idea that she can save her boyfriend, and we'll drop this cage on top of her. When it hits, it will detonate and the bomb will go off in one minute destroying the yellow ranger for good." Raven advised his fellow villains. "Then we'll destroy the rest of the power rangers." He said smugly as they finished the trap.
Ashley looked around from the doorway but saw no sign of her teammates. She quickly returned to the mega ship to continue scanning for their location.
"Ashley! What did you find out?" Alpha demanded of her as soon as she reappeared on the bridge.
"The others aren't in that building. You were right Deca, it is a trap." Ashley admitted as she paced the bridge thinking of away to free her friends. Suddenly she stopped as a thought came to her mind. "Alpha, who owns that abandoned warehouse?" she asked the stunned robot. Pushing a few buttons she got her answer. The name Michael Summit appeared on the screen.
"Why does that name sound so familiar?" Ashley wondered as she racked her brain for an answer. "Wait. Of course." Ashley remembered suddenly. "He owns the old abandoned bank across the street. I bet that's where the others are. " She stated confidently. "Deca, get me the combination to the vault at Summit Bank." Deca quickly obeyed the yellow ranger's commands. "I've got it, but what about the trap Ashley?" The computer wanted to know. "How are you going to avoid it?" The computer inquired.
"I'm not." Ashley replied simply. Ashley finished outlining her plan. While Deca was not so sure it would work, she could not think of a better plan herself. "Are you up to this Ashley?" The computer confronted her, knowing what a difficult day she already had and hoping she would be able to pull through for her teammates.
"They need me Deca. I'm ready." Ashley spoke determinedly, and Deca knew nothing would stop the yellow ranger from succeeding. "No one messes with us rangers."
"Be careful Ashley." The computer and robot admonished her as they waited for a video to signal the beginning of her plan. A few minutes later, the video appeared on the main screen.
"Ashley, we need your help. You've got to save us. Come to the abandoned factory in downtown Angel Grove." Andros begged his girlfriend, hoping she would be able to figure a way out of this mess without getting caught herself. He hated having to put her in this position, but Raven held Carlos captive, forcing Andros to send the video to Ashley.
"I'm on my way Andros." Ashley whispered, pulling her helmet back on and teleporting to the warehouse to meet with Raven.
"You want me? Well here I am." Ashley shouted into the vast emptiness of the warehouse.
"You came quickly. You must really love your boyfriend." Raven observed of the yellow ranger.
"Well where is he?" She demanded of the villain in a no nonsense tone of voice.
"Right this way, yellow ranger." Raven escorted her to the middle of the floor where the red ranger suddenly appeared. Ashley ran to embrace him, but just like that he disappeared and she found herself surrounded by the cage.
"That was too easy." Raven taunted Ashley. "I thought you rangers were supposed to be smart. The power of young love." He sighed. "Enjoy your last minute on earth, knowing you couldn't save your teammates." Raven snarled as Ashley feigned shock and horror at her capture.
Across the street, the other rangers were horrified to see Ashley captured on the video Raven had supplied for them. They held out hope that in one minute she would somehow escape. When the clock ran out and the loud explosion rang out, they slumped to the floor in defeat.
"Ashley, NO!" Andros screamed as he beat his fists against the steel walls of the locked vault. Cassie pulled Andros into a tight embrace, allowing the red ranger to release his anguish and regret in not telling Ashley how much he loved her. The video faded to black as the four rangers were left to dwell on their own impending destruction.
