Tommy was exactly right in his suspicion of Mesagog. He had known what the white gem was as soon as Sam's parents had unearthed it. It was the Guardian gem and with it, the guardian would hold such powers that without it the Power Rangers would be an useless defence against him. However, Mesagog didn't know who the guardian was, though he had his own suspicions on that too. * * *
Tommy was increasingly becoming more and more worried about his niece. Now knowing her part in the scheme of things, and that her part was a potentially powerful one, he worried Mesagog would soon discover her identity. It was one of the main reasons he kept the Guardian gem in the lab, because together Sam and the gem would be a tempting capture.
Meanwhile Sam's big recital was coming up and it was taking up all of her time. Sam was spending less and less time with Kira, Ethan and Connor due to practices and not because she didn't want to. However, whenever her and Connor now met there was awkwardness between them. They could hardly look at each other. And it wasn't all because of the vision they both saw of their classical selves together, but because they were actually beginning to fall for each other.
Everyone came out to the dance concert, featuring Sam's solo. Kira, Ethan, Connor, Hayley and Tommy all sat together in the audience waiting anxiously for Sam's performance. The rest of the show was good and was building up to Sam's dance.
The curtains opened on Sam crouched down. The song began and she began going through her routine. She was good and it wasn't just her friends who though so. The whole audience was getting into it. Connor couldn't take his eyes off of Sam; he was definitely falling hard for this girl.
All of a sudden, Elsa, Zeltrax and a couple of Tyranna-drones appeared out of nowhere on the stage. "Get her!" Elsa commanded the Tryranna-drones, as she pointed to Sam. Sam had stopped abruptly and as the drones came towards her, she ran.
The audience was in a panic and began running for the exit doors, except for 5 people. Hayley put a reassuring hand on Tommy's shoulder and then moved towards the exit herself.
Kira, Ethan, Connor and Tommy moved from their seats to go and help Sam. Zeltrax took on Tommy immediately, jumping down from the stage to stop Tommy from helping his niece. The three others made it up on the stage, but Elsa and a few Tryanna-drones were the next obstacle waiting for them. Kira and Ethan began to take them on, urging Connor to go and help Sam.
Sam, meanwhile, was fighting a losing battle. Her dance moves were helping her somewhat dodge the drones, mixed in with a few self-defensive move, but they were slowly overpowering her.
Meanwhile at the back of the auditorium, Cassidy and Devin, who had been at the show reporting, were catching this all on tape.
"This time we've got them," Cassidy said with a smile, making sure Deving had the lens cap off this time.
Hayley noticed the two and ran over to them in a panicked state as everyone else was. She purposely knocked into the camera, and being the technological savvy-expert she was, pressed a button in her fumbling that deleted the tape.
"Get out of my way!" Hayley said in her panicked state and kept running.
Cassidy sighed heavily as she stood up and looked back at Devin and the camera. She noticed the blinking light 'delete' on it, "Noooo!!!" she exclaimed sadly.
Meanwhile, the drones had surrounded Sam and grabbed her. Connor was fighting his way to her, but even his power wasn't helping him to get to her faster, as more and more drones seemed to just appear from nowhere.
"Connor!" Sam called out in distress, an outreached hand towards him.
"Sam!" Connor said reaching his hand to hers and barely touching her fingertips, before she and the drones disappeared into thin air.
Elsa and Zeltrax and the rest of the drones, victorious, fell back in rank. Elsa smiled, "We have what we came for," she said and then the rest of them disappeared, leaving the defeated four of them at a loss.
