disclaimer-do i honestly need to tell you what goes here?

Chapter Twenty Two-Plans of Escape

"This is what happens when you disobey me." Scarlette announced, throwing Ann to the floor in front of the other rangers. "Except nothing will happen to any of you, everything will happen to her. So if you wish her to be spared any more pain, I suggest you start talking."

When Ann didn't move, the other's knew they would have to give in. They all slowly turned to face her.

"That's better. This is what I want to know: Who here has children? That is all that you need to tell me. We'll start with you, the former red ranger, the one with the big mouth. That's what Ivan said, isn't it?"

"I have a son." Rocky said dejectedly. She turned to Aisha who was next to him.

"Three kids." Then Billy and then Kat.

"Daughter." They both muttered. Adam.

"Son and daughter." He said. Ethan.

"None." But he was still upset for everyone else, as was Trent, who also had no children.

The next two people were Kira and Conner. They decided silently that they were gonna screw her up. It couldn't be called lying, because she wanted to know who had kids, and they both technically had a kid.

"I have a son." Kira said.

"So do I." Conner said.

"And you six. Who here has siblings?"

"I have a little sister." Ted said.

"None." Kaylie said, as did Kimmie.

"One sister, three brothers." David and Jason both said.

"Four brothers." Ann moaned from the floor, before finally losing consciousness.

"There, that wasn't so hard, was it? None of them will even be harmed, as long as they remain lost. But unfortunately for you, none of you will see any of them again. I won't be able to let you go. You are too valuable. Think of what I could get from selling a power ranger."

With a slight wave of her hand, they chain's disappeared, but none of them moved. They were all too weak, at least the people who had been there for a week. The other's didn't want anything to happen to Ann.

"I think I might send my sister in with some food for you." Scarlette said thoughtfully. "Yes, that's an excellent idea. I love ordering her around, and she will be so heartbroken when she sees people she isn't able to help."

Scarlette left the room, and Kat hurried over to Ann.

"She needs medical attention. Those burns look very bad, and she has some deep cuts as well."

"What should we do about it?" Adam asked. "We don't have anything for her."

"Do you guys still have your communicators?" Billy asked. "I don't think the frequency can be detected behind the shield, and we probably won't be able to teleport either, but it's worth a shot."

"Here dad." Kimmie said, handing over her communicator. The other's surrendered theirs as well, Ted removed Ann's gently from her wrist.

Kat tried to make Ann as comfortable a possible, and just as she was seeing of she could turn her on her side without causing her much pain, someone stepped into the dark dimension. It was the same girl who had secretly brought them the food before, the same person who had seen Ann being tortured in the throne room, the same person who had introduced herself to the six rangers week ago at the park.

"Crystal? What are you doing here?" Kaylie asked. "You should get out of here."

Crystal smiled sadly. "I live here. Scarlette is my sister."

"Your what?" David asked. Crystal turned to him, a sad look in her eyes.

"Scarlette Repulsa, Empress of all Evil is my older sister. If you thought you never knew about the older daughter, the younger one is totally non-existent. She despised me, because I wasn't living in my parents shadows, following in their footsteps, their evil footsteps. I'm the black sheep of the family. Well more like the white sheep."

"Well it's nice to know Rita and Zedd did something good with their lives." Aisha said.

"I guess."

"So, any idea how to get us out of here?" David asked. "Seeing as you live here and all."

"I don't know."

"You got to the park before." Kimmie said. "How did you do it? You said your sister didn't know."

"I tried a teleportation spell. I was lucky it worked. I could have ended up anywhere." Crystal was upset that she had disappointed these people, they didn't deserve to be here. Then she heard a voice in her head, tell them now. Crystal sighed. This was going to be hard.

"I need to tell you something."

"What is it?" Billy asked. He heard the seriousness in her voice.

"Remember that person in white last week, in your battle? Well that was me, I am the white ranger."

"Why didn't you tell us?" David asked.

"Zordon told me not to."

"Then why did you just tell us?" Kaylie asked.

"He told me to tell you when the time was right. And I guess it is. I don't know how it helps."

"I do." Billy said.

"Course you do dad." Kimmie muttered. "Geniuses tend to know everything."

"Zip it missy. You can use the teleportation spell to get us back. Scarlette won't be able to stop it with her shield, and by the time she notices the magic being used, we'll be long gone."

Crystal shrugged. "It's worth a try. But I don't know where we'll go."

"It's the best we can do." Ted said.

"And we have to do anything we can for Ann." Kat pointed out. "These wounds are pretty serious, I'm not sure how long she has."

"Alright." Crystal said. "Let's go for it. Let's see, I don't think my spell is nearly powerful enough for thirteen people, so we would have to combine the spell with the teleporter's on the communicators. Do you think it would work?"

Billy and Ethan both nodded. Crystal continued.

"Here's what you have to do, as I do the spell, you use the teleporter's on your communicators. It should work, because my magic will have to be doing most of the work because of the shield."

"We're ready whenever you are." Adam said. Crystal nodded and got into position. Kimmie looked around at the eight people who didn't have communicators on.

"The eight of you need to grab onto someone's arm or something." They all spread out to grab someone's arm or sleeve, or anything else that would help them get back. Ted picked Ann up, and held her so she would be brought with them.

"Here." He said, tossing Ann's communicator to Kat, who was still next to him, making sure Ann didn't slip. "Take this and use it."

Kat slipped the communicator on and nodded that she was ready to go. Crystal started the spell. In a sudden howl of noise and a bright flash of light, they were gone from the dark dimension, and on their way to who knows where.

Ted felt his feet touch solid ground. He opened his eyes to the startling brightness of what he hoped was the command center. Ted didn't remember closing his eyes in the first place. Someone cleared their throat.

"Um, can we help you?"

At that moment, Ted knew they weren't in the command center. So where were they?

a/n-another cliffhanger, if u want, u can try guessing where they are, but you probably won't get it right.
