When Edward got up after being shot, he managed to gain back full control of the monsters. With them under his command he could push them harder than they would on their own. Each one ignoring any pain with one goal in mind; destroy the Power Rangers. Jack was still hidden from sight, aiming his blaster at his friend. He knew he could end it all right then, stop the monsters from being under control and give them the upper hand at defeating them all. Jack watched and all he could see was Bridge. Bridge who was carefree, funny, and loyal. Jack could not do it, at least not without trying something else first.

"Sky, you need to get close to Bridge. Try reaching out to him and pull him out." He spoke over their com-link.

"And if I can't?" Sky already knew the answer.

"You saw what that shot did, if we can't reach Bridge, then Edward will win and we only have one option. He's too strong to beat unless he is put down."

Sky looked over at Jack before dodging another blow from the rock monster he was fighting. Crueger jumped over to him and began to hold off the monster.

"Go Cadet! Get Bridge back for us."

Sky nodded. "Yes, sir."

The others held the monsters off while Sky forced his way to where Edward was. Edward smiled as Sky stood before him. Sky tried to stand tall, but his pain was showing.

"I was so hoping it would be you." Edward smiled. "Why don't you fight me face to face, instead of hiding behind that helmet?"

Sky saw the twitch in his opponent's fingers. "So you can get in my head too?"

"Clever, clever Blue. For some reason I can't get through those suits of yours, but then again Bridge can't use his abilities in them either so I guess it's not all that surprising is it?"

"I won't let you win."

Edward laughed. "And what are you going to do about it? You can kill me sure, but that kills him too. You can take me out, but you'll never win, not really at least. Besides you can barely stand, what are you going to possibly do?"

Sky clenched his fists and charged towards the Green Ranger. If he could distract him, maybe he would lose his concentration on the monsters, maybe then they would get the chance to stop this battle from happening. Sky's problem now was that Edward had tapped into Bridge's full abilities. Bridge's gloves were long gone, and Edward was running on crazy power. He waved his hand in front of Sky and was able to predict every move that he was going to make. Sky ran at him throwing a punch, but Edward easily dodged it. He then tried to sweep a kick, but Edward jumped over his leg and pushed him hard in the chest knocking him down.

While they were fighting, Jack was watching closely. His blaster was ready to shoot, but he was trying to give Sky as much time as possible. Sky was not doing well at all in the fight, but he was still holding his own. Jack looked around at his friends and saw they too were still holding off the monsters, but were starting to show signs of tiring out. He did not know what to do. He had to give Sky a little more time, but the minutes passing by.

As Sky fought he tried to think of how they were going to get out of this without anyone dying, but the more he faced Edward, the less possible that seemed. If Edward could not get into Sky's head while he was morphed, then he would not be able to reach Bridge either. Sky was starting to realize what he needed to do. This plan would be extremely risky, and he would only get one shot at it, but right now he was not sure he had any other choice. Sky pushed off of Edward and backed up.

"Okay, fine, you want fight face to face? Let's do it then."

Edward gave him a curious look, but smirked a little. Sky un-morphed, and immediately raised up his shield to run at Edward. He needed to make the other man think he wanted to use his abilities to help him win, he had to do something to catch him off guard. To both of their surprise, the shield actually did help. Edward was thrown off of his feet for a moment before showing a scowl of anger and jumping back up. He was getting tired of this game. Sky glared back as Edward rushed towards him. The Blue Ranger threw another punch, but Edward grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward, putting his other hand on Sky's head.

"Time to join me Blue."

Sky knew this was his chance, he would only get a moment and he hoped that Jack did not react too soon. Edward was going to try to get into his head to control him, but by doing so he would open a door into his mind. One that Sky could hopefully use to contact Bridge. This was the only way, but he could lose himself in his attempt.

"Bridge, it's Sky. Can you hear me? You need to listen to me! You have to take control. You have to fight Edward. You have to stop all of this!"

Bridge was still trapped in the contraption Edward had put him in. Every now and then he would get a glimpse of what was happening in the real world, or a feeling of something, but he had no way to access any of it. He was stuck, but now something was happening that felt different, something that felt off. There was a noise in his ear that was not the constant humming of the bright lights, no this sounded like a distant whisper. The voice sounded familiar, but it did not belong to Edward. No, that voice belonged to Sky.

"You have to fight back. You have to stop this!"

Sky was contacting Bridge again, but this time he could feel a connection. This was not just Sky reaching out, it felt like he was there. Bridge realized that Edward must be fighting Sky, trying to gain control of him. Bridge had felt part of what Edward was doing, he saw flashes of different minds; minds that Edward had control of, now he was trying to get control of Sky as well. There was no way he could let that happen. Bridge knew that if Sky was in physical contact, then he may be able to use him to pull himself out of his trap. If Bridge could tap into the connection being formed, just might be able to take back control.

"Don't let him in Sky, I need a little more time."

Sky heard the thoughts in his head, there was a chance. Now all he had to do was continue to push Edward out of his mind, if he could just last a few more seconds, there could be hope for all of them.

Jack had been watching from his place behind the dumpster. The moment he saw Sky un-morph he worried. He thought Sky was going to beat Edward for a minute, but then Edward grabbed him and pulled him in close. He was going to take control of Sky, and when he did the team would not have much of a chance. If one more Ranger went down, then they could all easily follow. Jack held out his blaster ready to fire, but Sky was too close. He was blocking the target. Jack's hand shook a little, knowing that as soon as Sky moved out of the way, he would have to shoot his friend and end it all.

"We can't keep them off for much longer!" Z was trying to dodge the vines flying at her from the monster she was fighting.

"Yeah, I don't how much more we can take!" Syd blocked a punch from the rock monster that was now attacking her.

"Stay strong Rangers!" Crueger was fighting two of the monsters, each holding large axe weapons stolen from S.P.D.

Sam was fighting the fifth monster, "Our energy is running low!"

All of them knew that any minute they would lose their strength, any minute the monsters would over power them, and any minute the battle would be lost. They could not keep fighting anymore, this was the end.

Jack saw his opening. Sky had moved to the right just enough. Jack's finger shook as he held the trigger. He was beginning to squeeze the trigger when Bridge and Sky both fell down. He perked up and saw Bridge begin to seize, while Sky was on his hands and knees. Jack was not sure what was happening, but he knew he needed to get out there. He looked at the other monsters and they had begun to slow down. They were all still fighting, but the Rangers were winning again. Jack ran through the fight and over to where Bridge and Sky were. He noticed that Sky was just staring at the ground, not blinking.

"Sky? Sky!"

Nothing. Jack had no idea what was going on. He got on his com-link and contacted the base. "Kat, Bridge is having a seizure and Sky's not responding to me, I don't know what to do!"

"Jack, just stay calm and try to hold Bridge as still as you can, roll him over on his side if you see any blood."

Jack held down Bridge's shoulders, but the twitches stayed violent. He watched in horror, feeling helpless.

"Come on Bridge, come back!"

On the outside, Jack could not tell what was happening with his friends, but on the inside of Bridge's mind, a war was erupting.

As soon as Edward got into Sky's head, Bridge found his way in with it. He needed Sky's strength, he needed his friend to help him win this. It felt like before for Bridge, the lights surrounding him, but this time his mind connected with Sky's before he faced Edward.

"You can't beat me Bridge."

"We'll see about that."

Bridge did not want to repeat what happened during his capture. That would not solve anything, no he needed to remember where he really was. He was not actually tied up, he was just stuck in his own mind. Edward was just using his body, but it was time to take it back. Instead of concentrating on the constant humming of the lights, Bridge concentrated on the walls around him. The mental walls holding him in his prison; they needed to crumble. Edward was too many places at once. He was trying to keep control of Bridge, the monsters, and Sky. He began to feel his link weaken. Edward decided he needed more strength, so he let go of his control on the monsters.

The Rangers noticed this shift. All at once the five monsters fell to their knees and began acting confused. The Rangers were not sure what was going, but they were thankful for their new moment to breathe.

Bridge was just starting to feel the walls crumble when the lights around him got brighter. He was losing his concentration.

"You can do this Bridge! You are stronger than him." It was Sky's voice pushing through. "When Edward took control of you and stole all that stuff out of the Base, you took the collar he used on you. You took control and he never even knew it. You did that as a message to all of us. Don't let him beat you."

Bridge was not sure what Sky was talking about. He only remembered bits and pieces of his time since Edward took over, but then a memory flashed before him. Edward had taken complete control and hacked into S.P.D. He needed Bridge's skills to do so, and in that moment Bridge was able to stay lucid enough to swipe the collar in the mix of things Edward took, without even knowing why he took it. Bridge realized that he must have foreseen Edward's plan to frame Basta. He knew his friends would figure out he was part of the break-in. If he could do all that, then he could beat Edward now.

"I'm not really here. This place is not where I am."

Bridge concentrated and was able to use his connection to Sky to see exactly what was going on outside of his mind.

"I'm in the city, in the middle of a battle, and I'm going to take back control."

Edward yelled out in anger. "No! You are weak! You couldn't live up to your powers, and instead you stifled them! I am staying in control of this mind!"

The walls crumbled away, and now Bridge was standing face to face with Edward. "You're dead. I did that, and I can't undo it, but I can make sure you never creep into my head again."

"I'll always be here."

Bridge nodded a little. "The memories yes, you no. It's time for you to be put away for good."

Bridge concentrated on every memory and thought Edward had. He needed to go backwards through his life and rely on his instincts. Bridge saw everything he had done after taking control of him, and then he saw his life again. Taking Bridge, killing the doctor, the hostage situation; all going back to his childhood. Bridge needed to take every single memory and lock it away.

"You can't get rid of me!"

"I don't have to get rid of you to keep you quiet. It's time for you to fade away."

Edward screamed out as Bridge locked the mental door he had just trapped him in. Bridge's head erupted in pain in that moment and everything went black.

Jack was alarmed when Bridge's seizure began getting worse. His alarmed feeling turned into pure terror when blood began pooling out of his nose and mouth. Jack quickly turned Bridge over on his side, not sure what to do. He looked around to see all the monsters fall in confusion, his fellow Rangers taking that moment to catch their breath. Sky was still staring at the ground, and now Bridge was starting to make weird, almost wheezing, sounds. Jack's heart was pounding in his chest, but then Bridge went still, and Sky seemed to slip out of his daze.

"Whoa..." Sky shook his head trying to steady his vision.

"Sky!"

Sky blinked a few times before looking up. "Jack? What just…" Then he looked down. "Bridge! Is he alright?"

Jack felt Bridge's neck.

"Jack!" Sky did not like how long Jack was taking.

Jack shook his head. "I don't think he's breathing."

Sky stared in horror, tears prickling out of the corner of his eyes.
