==Stanford, California, United States==
The trio consisting of Raylan, Emma, and Tyler ran outside in the night in order to 'assist' the kidnapping victim. It wasn't everyday that there was a crime reported on Stanford's campus, but this was one of those instances and the Rangers had to go to action. It had been a while since they morphed for a reason other than for the sake of it, but they knew that somebody needed their help.
They quickly bolted out of their dorm hall and got behind an alleyway. There, they stood in a circle and intently looked at each other to decide who would make the first move.
"You can morph first." Emma nudged her boyfriend.
"Me? Why not Tyler?" Raylan nudged Tyler.
"Hey, Emma's the one who nudged you first. Why doesn't she morph?" Tyler nudged Emma.
"You know what? I'll morph." Raylan decided and held his morpher up. "It's morphin' time! Dragon" he shouted as his Ranger suit materialized around him. "There, was that so hard?"
"I'm up next." Tyler nodded. "It's morphin' time! Lion!"
"It's morphin' time! Elephant!"
Finally, the three Rangers had morphed and were ready to carry out their task. However, there was one large problem in sight: they didn't know where to start looking.
"Okay, so where do we go from here?" Raylan asked. "We have no idea where this person could be."
"The text alert stated that it was on campus and that they urged everyone to stay off." Tyler stated.
"Which means that most people would be indoors." Emma realized.
"And if most people are indoors, that means we can hear this kidnapping thing a lot better." Raylan concluded. "So all we have to do is pay attention to the noise that's not created by us and we'll be good to go."
"Exactly." Tyler gave him a thumbs up. "Let's start listening."
"Didn't Gadget-X program an amplifier into our helmets or something?" Emma asked. "I'm sure that would be beneficial."
"Emma's right." Raylan reiterated. "Guys, concentrate hard and listen in."
By using their amplifier, they were able to notice some disturbances in the audible noise barrier. They kept pushing their concentration until they heard a faint cry for help.
"That way!" Raylan pointed and urged for the other Rangers to follow him.
"I hope you know where you're going." Emma sighed and followed her boyfriend alongside Tyler.
Emma and Tyler kept following Raylan's sense of hearing until they reached a dead end. They looked around them and tried to listen in, but there was only a haunting silence.
"Are you sure you led us in the right direction?" Emma asked. "I don't see or hear anything nearby."
"Yeah, we're at a dead end." Tyler agreed. "There doesn't seem to be anything here except a wall."
"That's what they want you to believe." Raylan held his hand up. He walked over to a section of the wall and punched a hole in.
"HELP!" a girl's voice called out from inside the wall.
Shocked at the discovery, Emma and Tyler followed Raylan and rushed into the hole with him. Now knowing what to expect despite having the upper hand, the Rangers kept close.
"Freeze!" a male college student held up a pistol to Raylan's head.
"Okay, I'm wearing a helmet and you think your pistol will get through to me?" Raylan asked sarcastically. "Now let her go!"
"P-Power Rangers?" the male student asked. "What are you doing here? We thought you disappeared!"
"Help..." a female college student whimpered from the ground. She was dusty and her clothes were tattered.
"Shut up!" the male student kicked her in her stomach, silencing her.
"Alright, that's it." Emma mumbled and lunged straight for him. She grabbed him by his hips and threw him straight at the ground. When she was on top of him, she threw a barrage of punches at his face.
"Yellow, calm down!" Raylan held his girlfriend back. "We're not trying to kill him."
"What's your business here?" Tyler asked the student. "Who is she and why did you kidnap her?"
"You fools will never know." the male student laughed.
"If we can't get an answer from you, then we'll get them from someone else." Tyler decided. "Dragon, call the cops up."
"I'm on it, Blue." Raylan nodded, dialing the cops through his helmet phone.
Within minutes, the authorities were on the scene and arrested the student. They thanked the Rangers and quickly left the scene with the student in handcuffs. Like Tyler said, if they couldn't get answers from him, they would from someone else. That someone would be the girl.
When everything settled down and the girl was able to stop crying, the Rangers were finally able to talk to her. There were so many questions to be asked, but they had to do it carefully to prevent her from possibly crying again.
"Are you calmed down?" Raylan finally asked. "I know this sounds pressuring, but we need some information out of you."
"I understand..." the girl nodded and sniffled.
"First off, what's your name?" Raylan asked.
"C-Courtney. Courtney Wright." she answered softly.
"Why did he kidnap you?" Emma asked.
"He said it was a part of 'initiation' or something." Courtney answered.
"What kind of initiation was it?" Tyler asked.
"I-I have no idea. He just said that he was going to keep me tied up until he was done raping me." Courtney winced. "It hurts to think about."
"Is that all he told you?" Raylan asked.
"Y-Yes."
"Are you a student here?"
"Yes."
"So you didn't know him?"
"N-No sir."
"You don't need to call me sir, I'm only about your age." Raylan chuckled. "Just rest up a bit. Do you need us to take you to your place of residence?"
"Th-that would be nice." Courtney nodded.
"Is there anything else that you need help with?" Emma asked. "Like, do you need something to eat or anything?"
"No, I'll be fine." Courtney sniffled.
The three Rangers dropped Courtney off at her apartment by campus and then went back to Raylan's and Tyler's room to talk about it.
"That whole situation was weird." Emma sighed. "I didn't understand what was happening."
"And what was the whole thing about that initiation?" Tyler asked. "It didn't make much sense to me."
"Well, there's only one thing I can tell you." Raylan stated. "And that's that we're going to see more of this...a lot more."
