DISCLAIMER
Still ain't mine. Still owned by Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. Oh, and if you're wondering why I'm using the Rangers' name so much, it's because I'm too lazy to put in formal introductions.
Carter stared at Jason.
"If what you say is true, than we're gonna have to move fast," he declared.
"But Diabolico will never let us get into his fortress," Dana said.
"What about Ryan?" Chad suggested.
"What about Ryan, Chad?" Dana queried suspiciously.
"Dana, nobody knows Diabolico's fortress better than him. He could get us in safely," Chad stated.
"No. No way. I am not risking my brother," Dana responded.
"But Chad's right. Who could lead us into that place better than Ryan?" Joel agreed.
"Thank you, Joel," Chad said.
"I'm with Dana. That's a bad idea," Kelsey objected.
"Kelsey---" Chad began to say.
"Would you stop it?" Ryan interrupted, standing up. "You're all talking about me like I'm not even here!" he exclaimed. Before anyone could stop him, he ran off.
"Ryan!" Dana cried, hurrying after him.
"I'm very sorry about that. He's just been through quite an ordeal," Angela apologized.
"It's okay. I understand. It's not easy going from evil to good," Jason replied.
"How'd you know?" Cpt. Mitchell asked in surprise.
"Tommy started out on the side of evil. He often gets the same look Ryan has," Jason answered.
"Carter, what do you think we should do?" Kelsey asked, getting back to the subject at hand.
"I say we go Diabolico's lair and get Jason's friend out of there," Carter determined.
"Good. When do we leave?" Jason asked.
"You're not going anywhere. You're staying here," Carter replied.
"Like heck I am!" Jason cried.
"You're hurt. You can't risk---" Carter began to say.
"Look, I'm going okay?" Jason interrupted. "I've only let Tommy down once in my entire career and I will never do it again," he continued snappishly. For a moment, everyone stared at Carter. Finally, the leader of the Power Rangers sighed.
"Okay, you can go," he agreed reluctantly.
