Wes felt his heart skip a beat; he felt numb and scared inside. Everything from yesterday, ever since he had gotten that frightening call from Sy-Kee saying that he had his wife, Jen, the woman he loved more then anything in the world, had all come down to this moment. Scared stiff, he slowly raised his wrist up just above his mouth. He felt Eric and his father by his side, giving him their strength, letting him know no matter what, they would stick right by him.

Everyone else remained silent, not sure what to say or even what to do. The truth was all of them felt their hearts racing, pounding with fear and uncertainty. All of them were wondering if Jen was alive and well; if they would ever see her again and even if they would all make it out of this alive.

"Go ahead," spoke Wes softly, his voice was shaking and uneasy, due to the great fear and pain he felt in the pit of his stomach.

"I was beginning to think you wouldn't answer, but I didn't really believe you would just leave your most prized possession in my hands..." laughed Sy-Kee.

"I would never leave her in the hands of a monster like you!" yelled Wes, feeling his frustration and hatred for Sy-Kee grow. His voice was on the edge of breaking down, but he did his best to remain in control for Jen sake. This was no time for him to lose his temper.

"So we have a deal then. You will send the three I want to my location and I will free your wife, unharmed..."

Wes glanced up, looking over at Tommy, Justin, and the other Jen. He didn't want the three to give up their lives; they had already been through enough pain and horror for a lifetime. But he knew in each of their hearts whether he wanted them to or not they were going to turn themselves in, to save Jen. They all had made that clear. Wes sighed heavily as he watched them each gave a nod, telling him they were ready for what they had to do, taking a deep breath. "Yes, we're a go for the plan. But you better swear to me that she's unharmed, because if I find one mark on her from you, I will hunt you down and kill you myself..."

"Strong words from a man whose wife is in my hands. I could just kill her now and come after you and the others and there would be no need for our plan..."

"Just give me your word, once you have them you'll let Jen go," cried Wes.

"I will do my part of the bargain; just make sure you do yours. Have they come to the abandoned warehouse on Dawn St. in one hour." There was a short pause. "And know this, ranger, if I suspect you or any of the others are following them, I will kill her, and don't think I won't!"

The communication then ended. Wes dropped his head down, sighing. He tried to hold back his tears, but they just came out uncontrollably. The room feel silent, not even little Trent or Tom made a sound.

Jen felt her heart sink she as she watched as Sy-Kee set the morpher down on the table. She doubted that even if he did get what he wanted, that he would let her go alive. And then there was the fear of knowing that Wes might try to pull one of his reckless and stupid stunts to rescue her, but yet she knew she would do the same thing for him. Why had she gotten so angry with him? She didn't even remember anymore. And now she might never see him again, feel his arms around her or the touch of his lips against hers. The last thing they had said to each other was an argument which ended with her taking off and getting captured by Sy-Kee. And now she might never be able to tell him how much he meant to her. A tear slid down her cheek, she tried to hold it in, but she couldn't, either due to her being pregnant or the situation she was in, probably both.

Sy-Kee turned around, seeing tears in her eyes. "Stop your crying, before I just put you out of your misery."

Wiping her eyes clean, she looked up and stared at him angrily. "Wouldn't that put a damper on your plans?"

Sy-Kee laughed; he had to admit she had spunk in her. Too bad she was on the wrong side, and although he could turn her against the other rangers, she would be useless without her powers. He stepped closer to her, his red eyes glowing darkly. "Did you really think I would let you go alive?" he laughed.

Jen never had a doubt in her mind that all of this was just a trap to lure Tommy, Justin, and her double to him. And unfortunately it had been her own fault for getting put into this situation. If she hadn't gotten so mad at Wes and taken off - she should have stayed and talked things out with him. But no, she let her attitude and pride get the best of her, and now it could have an end result of getting not only herself, but several others killed. And she had a feeling the hundreds of cyclobots around her were part of that plan. "You may kill me, but you will never be allowed to win!" she spat.

"Brave words coming from a powerless ranger." He stepped closer to her and pulled her to her feet, yanking her by her wrist. Jen could feel his eyes right on her seeing right through her. "But I have already won. Nothing can stop me, not you, not the sun, not the other rangers," he snarled, as he shoved her up against the wall.

Jen's right shoulder collided with the wall, she felt her legs give out due to lack of sleep from the night before. Clutching at her shoulder she stared up at the dark shadow over her. The fight she had left in her slowly began to fade away from her, as she bowed her head down, feeling defeated. She hated to fail, but she had nothing left. Soon she was overwhelmed by depression and knowing death was not too far behind.

Sy-Kee stepped back and shook his head. "Humans, they never learn."

"I'm going with you!" declared Wes.

"The hell you are!" yelled Eric as he forced Wes back down on the chair. "You want to get yourself more banged up than you already are?"

"I have to, Eric! It's Jen…she's my…"

"I don't care, Wes. We all know how you are when it comes to Jen, so just save it!"

"Meaning what?" Wes looked around the room and was getting the same looks from everyone, even the other Jen. Wes turned his attention back to Eric. "You think I'm reckless and careless when it comes to her being in trouble? That's what you all think, isn't it?"

Eric sighed heavily and bowed his head. "You said it, not us..."

Wes just shook his head. "I don't believe this," he muttered. Cy-Core then shoved Eric out of the way and got right into Wes's face, grabbing hold of both of his arms. Cy-Core's red eyed glared right at Wes. If Wes hadn't been scared before he sure was now. That had gotten everyone's attention; it happened so quickly no one had time to react, all they could do was stand still and stare.

"You foolish, stubborn, arrogant human! If Sy-Kee even suspects they," he looked over at the three, then back to Wes, "are being followed he will KILL her without a second thought. He's a CellBorg, a murderer, a killer, a monster. He will show no mercy, not to her, not to you, not to anyone…." Cy-Core bowed his head, knowing it was all true, he had been one, perhaps he still was one. "I should know..." He slowly released his hold on Wes, and backed away. "I am, I was one, a killer, a murderer. I have killed many, all different races of life, even my own kind."

Wes stood up and got right into Cy-Core's face. "Then what am I supposed to do? You know very well even if Tommy, Justin, and Jen surrender, he won't let her go, he'll kill her and then he'll come after us and the rest of the world." Wes could feel his frustration and anger grow. "What are we supposed to do? Because I'm not just going to sit back and let him kill her or anyone else I care about!"

Cy-Core was silent for a long moment, feeling everyone's eyes on him. What were they supposed to do? "We go according to his plan, but I will follow them from behind..."

Eric didn't seem to like the sound of that. He didn't quite trust Cy-Core, after all he was still a CellBorg, part human in him or not, at the end of the day he would always be a CellBorg in his eyes. "I don't think so. How do we know you won't turn on us?" questioned Eric.

"We don't," answered Tommy softly as he stood up. He could understand and even relate to what Eric was feeling "But it's the only plan we've got, we really don't have any other choice."

"I will not betray your trust, you have my word," spoke Cy-Core.

Eric licked his lips, as he looked Cy-Core in the eyes. And for the first time he saw something different, different from the other CellBorgs. Perhaps it was time for him to put his own ways behind, and begin to trust people, even if that person is, or was, a murderer. "All right." he stepped closer to Cy-Core getting right into his face. "But I swear if you betray us. I will kill you even if it takes my whole life."

"Fair enough." Cy-Core put out his hand. Eric stared down at the hand, silvery and shiny in form. He was hesitant at first, but after a moment he put out his hand and shook Cy-Cores hand, wondering to himself if this would be a mistake he would later regret.

"Now what?" asked Rocky.

"Jen, Justin, Cy-Core, and I get prepared and set to leave," answered Tommy as his eyes fell on Wes, who appeared to be uneasy and not liking where this was going. "We'll get her back, Wes, you have my word. I swear on my life that you'll get her back, but I'm afraid you're going to have to stay here. It's too risky if you followed behind us, Sy-Kee might sense you." Tommy could see this was very hard on Wes, and he couldn't blame the guy. When Kimberly had been in trouble he had always wanted to be the one to come to her rescue.

"And he won't sense Cy-Core?" questioned Wes. It was taking all he had to come to grips with knowing that he wouldn't be able to be there to make sure for himself that Jen would be okay.

"I know how he thinks, he won't be able to sense me until it's too late, and besides he doesn't even know I'm here, and my weapon may be the only one powerful enough to stop him..."

Eric's eyes lit up. "It was you, wasn't it?" Cy-Core looked over at Eric. "It was your blaster that saved Wes and me from Sy-Kee."

Cy-Core didn't answer, just nodded his head in response.

Tommy licked his lips and looked down at his watch; it was noon. "It's time..."

The room fell silent as all eyes fell on him, Jen, Justin, and now Cy-Core the ones who would stop Sy-Kee, the ones who would save Jen.

With a heavy heart, Wes said softly, "Watch yourselves, and if something happens, will you tell her that I'm sorry and that I love her." He had just placed the life of the person who was most important to him in their hands.

Jen stepped forward and grabbed hold of his hands. "Don't worry, everything is going to be fine, you're going to be able to tell her yourself..."

"I hope so."
