==Stanford, California, United States==

Raylan, Emma, and Tyler ran outside as quick as they could and morphed when they assumed that they weren't anywhere in sight. Once morphed, they used their noise detector to help track the sound of anyone screaming in the near distance. They were able to pick up the faint noise of a girl crying out for help.

"This way!" Raylan exclaimed and followed his ears.

The trio crept through the alleyways of Stanford in order to try and find whoever was being held captive. As they walked through the deserted roads, the screaming and pleading for help started to get more and more audible.

"Is it just me or does this sound a bit familiar?" Emma asked.

"Obviously, we just did a rescue mission a few days ago." Tyler reminded her.

"No...I mean the person screaming." Emma took notice. "The screaming sounds like someone we know."

"I don't hear it." Raylan shook his head. "We'll find out when we get there."

"I don't have a good feeling about this." Emma stated. "Something tells me that we're in for a shocker."

"All we can do is hope that you're wrong." Tyler shrugged.

"I hope I'm wrong, too..."

The group finally reached a wall where the screaming had reached an all-time high. They knew they were close and marked the location of the wall where they would barge in.

"I think I'll give you the honors." Raylan stepped aside and pushed his girlfriend out front.

"Thanks, asshole." Emma replied sarcastically.

"Hey, you're the one with the premonition!" Raylan exclaimed in defense.

"Fine." Emma groaned and lunged at the wall.

The force of her suit hitting the bricks created a massive hole and crumbled the wall straight open. The three Rangers rushed into the building and started to navigate around the pipes and bars. At this point, the screaming was to a point where they no longer needed their noise sensors to be able to detect.

"It's coming from there!" Raylan shouted and pointed to a direction. The other two followed him straight through where they saw a blonde girl lying face down on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Tyler asked and flipped her over. "Oh my!" he exclaimed when he saw the face. It was Sydney Evans.

"Sydney!" Emma exclaimed and looked at the Ice Ranger. "Are you okay?"

"I have no idea what happened..." she groaned.

"We have one of your own!" a male voice grunted and tackled Emma to the ground.

"Get off her!" Raylan roared and ripped the guy off of his girlfriend. When they were level, Raylan sent a punch straight at the guy's face.

"You're pathetic!" the male shouted and punched Raylan in his gut. The punch was so strong that it sent Raylan straight to the ground.

"Raylan!" Emma exclaimed and rushed to her aching boyfriend. "What just happened?"

Tyler grabbed the male by his face and rammed his head into a wall. The student forced Tyler off and shoved him roughly. By this time, a second student had appeared by the first one's side.

"This isn't good..." Tyler gulped as he lay on the ground.

The two students hulked over him and repeatedly kicked at his gut. Tyler, unable to do anything else, just lay there and took the hits. Sydney watched in pain as they beat him relentlessly. She held her Morpher tightly.

"It's morphin' time!" she shouted and rose to her feet as the Ice Ranger.

One of the males ran over to her and tried to grab her by her hip, but missed entirely as she sidestepped out of his way. When he tumbled to the ground, Sydney picked him up and shoved him roughly to a wall.

"I'm going to kill you!" she shrieked and pushed her blaster into his back. Containing anger, she fired her blaster multiple times at him, killing him on the spot.

Raylan and Emma were able to get up and grab the second student by his throat. Raylan lifted him against a wall and held him there.

"Tell us what you were planning on doing!" Raylan roared.

"Never..." the student hissed. "You'll never learn our ways."

Raylan growled and threw him to the ground. Realizing that he was about to die, the student pulled out a cyanide pill. Before he could ingest it, however, Raylan smacked it out of his hand.

"No!" Raylan scolded him and stood over him. "Tell us everything!"

"You'll never know!" the student spat at him.

Raylan grabbed the boy's chest and smashed him to the ground repeatedly. He wanted to hurt him to the point where he would eventually give in.

"What are you trying to accomplish?" he asked Raylan.

"I want to know what you're trying to do by taking this innocent girls!" Raylan exclaimed. "And how did you get Sydney?"

"We know who you are." the boy breathed. It was evident that his life energy was slowly leaving him.

"Wait...wait!" Raylan shouted, realizing that the boy was slowly giving in.

"You lose..." his life finally left him, leaving him dead on the ground. The four Rangers powered down when it ended.

"NO!" Raylan roared and stood up. "It can't be like this!"

"Take a deep breath." Emma urged her boyfriend. "We're defeating them, isn't that good for now?"

"Yes, but we shouldn't have people suffer because of it." Raylan replied. "It's better if we're able to end what they're trying to accomplish before they can even attempt to accomplish it."

"Sydney, are you alright?" Tyler asked her. They could see she was scared.

"I...I don't know how they got to me." Sydney shuddered. "They...they just found me and took me."

"They were insulting us." Raylan stated. "They know who we are and they want to send a message."

"They're telling us to back off, and they have the power to do so." Tyler continued.

"No, we can't back off. We'll win, and we'll win hard."
