Ava was sitting on a stool in the kitchen, confused and bored. Ava is wearing a white shirt, grey skinny jeans, and purple boots. She also has on a black leather jacket with a design of purple angel wings on the back. Ava put her hair in a simple low bun with a streak coming out from each side. Everyone was in the Ranger lab discussing who knows what with Dr. K. They, along with Dr. K, told Ava she couldn't go in because it was for Rangers only.

"I've always been with them. What changed?" Ava thought. Ava sighed and wrote something on a sticky note she found. She stood up, put the note of the fridge, and left the garage.

"I can't stay still in one place too long." Ava thought. She was walking down the streets of Corinth.

Inside the Ranger Lab

"Do you all agree on Ava being Ranger Purple?" Dr. K asked. Everyone nodded.

"Does she need to preform a series of tests like Dillon?" Summer asked

"Not really since she has proven herself many times before." Dr. K said

"Shouldn't she be here to know about this?" Dillon said

"I believe it would be better to plan this out before saying anything. She may not want to accept this." Dr. K said

"I saw her fight against Tenaya and a group of Grinders. Ask Dillon, he was there." Ziggy said

"She's also helped me in retrieving the flux overthruster. And that poison mask she made proves that she's smart." Scott said

"I can't deny that. If you want, you can go tell her now." Dr. K said

"Awesome. Come on." Flynn said. They left the Ranger lab, but there was no sign of Ava.

"Where is she?" Summer asked. They started calling out Ava's name, no response.

"Guys." Flynn said. The others went to Flynn, who was in the kitchen.

"It's alright. She left a note. Ava's fine." Flynn said. He handed Dillon the note and Dillon read it out loud.

"'Hey, guys. I wish I could tell you where I am if you need me, but I have no idea where I'm going. Just wandering around Corinth. Getting to know the city. Got bored, but I'll be back soon'." Dillon said. He gave the note back to Flynn.

"So, divide and conquer?" Ziggy asked

"First one to find Ava, calls the others." Summer said

"Alright. Let's go." Scott said. Flynn flipped over the note.

"Wait, there's some writing on the back." Flynn said

"What's it say?" Scott said

"'P.S. I took one of your lollipops, Dillon. Hope you don't mind.'" Flynn said

"Of course." Dillon said. They all laughed for a short moment. Then they left the garage in search of Ava.

With Ava

Ava was walking near the stores of Corinth with a lemon flavored lollipop in her mouth. There was nothing to do, but walk. Walking around Corinth was a good way to get to know how to get around the city. You never know when you might need it. Ava was listening music on her phone with one earbud on. She was listening to the same song, Still Worth Fighting For by My Darkest Days. Ava was humming the lyrics to herself. She loves that song.

"I wonder Dillon is doing." Ava thought. He was all Ava could think about. Dillon is smart, cute, kind, caring. Ava could go on. Dillon captured her heart, and Ava didn't want it back. It's been a while since Ava admitted to herself that she is in love with Dillon. But Ava doesn't think that Dillon would return her feelings, so she never told him or anyone. Ava found a trashcan and threw away the lollipop stick. That was a good lemon lollipop.

Ava's thoughts were interrupted by the screams of the civilians. She turned around to see the people running away from Tenaya and a large group of Grinders. Ava saw a child stare at the Tenaya while Tenaya was walking towards the kid. Ava quickly took off her earbuds and shoved it in her pocket where her phone was. She ran to them.

"Tenaya!" Ava yelled. Tenaya looked up. Ava did a front flip over the kid and kicked Tenaya back. Without waiting to see what was Tenaya's reaction, Ava lifted the kid in her arms and ran toward the mother, who was screaming for her child.

"Here. Now, run." Ava said

"Thank you so much." The mother said. She ran away with her child. Ava looked back to see an angry Tenaya walking towards her. No Rangers in sight.

"Well, can't go back now." Ava said. She ran to Tenaya and they began to fight. The Rangers and Dr. K weren't going to be happy with this.

With Dillon

Dillon searched one part of Corinth for Ava. So far, no luck. The others haven't had much luck either.

"Where could she be? It's not like she left Corinth." Dillon thought. His thoughts were interrupted by his morpher ringing. Dillon put his morpher near his face so he could hear and speak. It was Dr. K.

"Rangers, there is a disturbance in the city. I'm sending you the coordinates." Dr. K said. Dillon got the coordinates and began to run. Once he got there, the others arrived. They saw about twenty Grinders.

"Doesn't seem much." Ziggy said. Then something caught Dillon's eye. It caught everyone's eye.

"Tell me that's not what I think it is." Dillon said. Unfortunately, it was. Ava was fighting Tenaya, with no protection or weapons or anything.

"It is." Flynn said

"Ava's fighting Tenaya." Summer said

"We have to help her. It's morphing time." Scott said. The team morphed. They ran towards Tenaya and Ava. Ava saw them, but unfortunately, Tenaya did too.

"Grinders!" Tenaya yelled. The Grinders went to fight and distract the Rangers from getting to Ava. Because of the Rangers, Ava got distracted.

"Hah!" Tenaya yelled. Before Ava could do anything, Tenaya kicked Ava on the hip and it felt painful. Ava flew back into a concrete wall. She hit her back hard and fell to the ground.

"Aah!" Ava yelled in pain. She wrapped her arm around the hip Tenaya kicked. Dillon looked over at Ava, desperate to get to her, but the Grinders weren't being helpful. They never are. Tenaya had a smirk on her face as she walked towards Ava. Ava was on her knees, trying to get up. Tenaya kicked her down again.

"You had your chance to give me the Purple Morpher, but chose not to. I'm gonna take you back to Venjix. You can guess what's gonna happen then." Tenaya said. She kicked Ava one more time and Ava slipped into the darkness. Dillon watched the whole thing as he fought the Grinders.

"No!" Dillon watched as Tenaya slung Ava over her shoulder. Ava's phone and earbuds fell out of her pocket. Tenaya looked at Dillon.

"Say goodbye to your precious Ava." Tenaya said. She began to walk away.

"No!" Dillon said. He pushed some Grinders aside and ran to Tenaya, but he couldn't make it. Tenaya called some more Grinders that were hidden to attack. Soon, the Rangers were out of sight for Tenaya. She went to the gates of the city. She threw Ava onto a jeep that just happened to be there. What luck. Two Grinders were there, guarding.

"Place something over her." Tenaya said. The Grinders placed a thin large light brown blanket over Ava to shield her from the toxic air. Tenaya started the jeep and she drove out of the city.

"Venjix will be so happy." Tenaya said

Back with the Rangers

They have finally destroyed all the Grinders in the area. Unfortunately, this wasn't a victory. Dillon walked towards Ava's phone and earbuds. He kneeled down and picked them up.

"They took Ava." Dillon said, gritting his teeth as he stood up.

"Dillon, calm down. We need to go back to the lab and discuss a strategy." Summer said

"We need to go after her now." Dillon said

"Dillon, we all care about her. But we need a plan." Flynn said

"We can't go barging into Venjix's palace unprepared." Scott said

"Venjix could be turning Ava into a robot, and we're sitting here, doing nothing!" Dillon said

"Dillon, I know you want to save Ava more than anything. But it won't do her any good if we're captured or defeated." Ziggy said. Dillon stayed quiet for a moment. He looked at his teammates, and his friends.

"Fine. But it better be quick." Dillon said

"It will. Let's go." Scott said. They began to head back to the garage. During the whole time they walked back, Dillon stared at Ava's phone. It wasn't even five minutes and it was like the rangers lost the will to have hope. Ava was the heart of the team. She was everything to them. She was everything to Dillon. Dillon gripped tight on Ava's phone.

"Ava, I will find you. Just hold on." Dillon thought

With Ava

Ava was half conscious and could see her surroundings now. But she couldn't move, even though she was moving. Her legs were being dragged on the floor, unable to feel anything at the moment. Ava looked to her left. Two Grinders held her arm. When Ava looked to her right, Tenaya held her other arm. They were dragging her to who knows where. Then she remembered something as her eyes widened. When Ava refused to give Tenaya the Purple morpher, Tenaya said that she was going to turn Ava into something like her. A Generation 7.

"No, this isn't happening." Ava thought. She groaned and moved a bit, trying to regain full consciousness.

"You're awake, and moving, I see. Doesn't matter. You are not going anywhere until I talk with Venjix. He'll have plans for you. You get to stay in here." Tenaya said. Ava lifted her head. She saw a room with a bench that's connected to the wall. Other than that, it was an empty steel room. Tenaya and the Grinders threw Ava into the room. Ava was thrown onto the hard cold floor. She weakly lifted herself just enough to see the two Grinders leaving. Tenaya smirked evilly.

"See you later." Tenaya said. Then she closed the steel door and locked it. Ava knew what Tenaya meant by that. Feeling too weak, Ava let herself down to the floor. Too weak to move, not fully conscious either. Ava couldn't do anything, but wait. Wait for the Rangers to rescue her, or wait to be turned into a Generation 7. Finding very little hope in her situation, Ava could only get one last thing out of her mind.

"Dillon, please, help me." Ava slipped away.
