The four Rangers camped out in Raylan's room where they put a towel around Sydney's back to help comfort her. While all of them had been kidnapped before, it was only for Ranger business. None of them had been kidnapped for a ritual rape.

"How did they get to you?" Emma asked the Ice Ranger when she started to calm down a bit.

"He...he came into an audition for a commercial that I was auditioning for and...and...he just grabbed me and ran off when nobody was paying attention." Sydney explained. "Since nobody expected me anywhere else, nobody knew I was gone missing."

"How did he know you were a Ranger?" Raylan asked. "That's the part that's making me feel really uncomfortable." he glanced to his girlfriend as he said this.

"I...I don't know..." Sydney shuddered. "He just said that I would be his 'Power Ranger bitch' and that I was bait for you guys."

"They think you're bait?" Tyler asked.

"They must not take us seriously." Raylan agreed. "If you, a Power Ranger, are bait, then what does that make us?"

"Goats." Sydney answered. "To them, you're goats."

"We're their goats?" Raylan asked, visibly furious. "They think that the Power Rangers, the savior of the world, are goats?"

"They have good reason to think so, too." Emma nodded. "They almost kicked out asses...twice."

"Not to mention that we had to resort to killing them." Tyler added in. "We usually don't kill human beings, but we had to kill two just then."

"They're getting the best of us, Raylan." Sydney told him. "We're showing them out weak side. And by them kidnapping me helplessly, it created a huge weak spot on our team."

"They know we're just scared teenagers..." Emma cupped her hand over her mouth.

"How can we make assumptions if we don't even know what we're dealing with?" Raylan asked.

"How can we not make assumptions?" his girlfriend asked back. "Making assumptions is the only thing we can arm ourselves with at a time like this."

The four of them sat in a circle on the floor quietly. Never had they been pushed into such a dilemma where they didn't know what they were dealing with. Previously, they had Gadget-X and even the fake Gehn to tell them what their mission was. Here, all they had was the news and their noise amplifiers. Not to mention the fact that they had made zero progress with identifying their enemy.

"How about we just call this a night and continue things tomorrow?" Tyler suggested.

"I agree with Tyler." Raylan stuck a thumbs up. "My brain is dead."

"Sydney, you can stay in my room for the night." Emma helped Sydney up. "My roommate is gone for the weekend so we have space. I'll let you use my bed and I'll just take the floor."

"Thanks, Emma." Sydney mumbled. "I just need to think about what happened."

"I think we all do." Raylan agreed. "These dudes are pushing my buttons...hard."

"It's okay, sweetie." Emma kissed her boyfriend's cheek. "Just rest up and we'll think about this tomorrow."

"Okay, Emma." Raylan sighed. "Goodnight, I love you."

"Goodnight, I love you, too."

Ryleigh and Johnny were in Ryleigh's room sitting next to each other on her bed. Emma just called them to talk about Sydney's incident, which scared the living hell out of Ryleigh.

"Johnny, they know who we are." Ryleigh trembled in her boyfriend's arms.

"Ryleigh, it's okay." Johnny squeezed her tight. "If anybody comes to get you, they have to come through me."

"But they're relentless!" Ryleigh exclaimed. "They'll kill you! I don't want them to hurt you!"

"I'm not going to let them do anything to me. I'd rather fight for you than go down without one."

"Johnny..."

"Ryleigh, everything's gonna be okay." Johnny kissed his girlfriend lightly. "Nobody is allowed to lay a finger on you."

"That's hard to estimate..."

"Taking Sydney was one of the worst decisions of their lives. They're going to regret it hard." Johnny assured her. "And if they even think about taking you, they're all dead. I can promise you that."

"I love how confident you are." Ryleigh chuckled. "I'm proud of you."

"Of course I'm confident!" Johnny kissed her again. "It's the only way I can protect you when nothing's going on."

"I just hope that nobody comes to get me..." Ryleigh looked off in the other direction.

"I promise, the minute that somebody touches you, I will be there."

"Really?"

"Of course, baby. I'll make them fear me."

"That's really relieving to hear." Ryleigh sighed. "Things are starting to scare me here. I just need a little reassuring. I don't like the way everything is going."

"I can stay here as long as you want me to." Johnny assured her.

"But the people who keep records are going to kick you out eventually."

"They don't have to know." Johnny shrugged. "I'm a Power Ranger, I can teleport."

"Johnny, I love you so much." Ryleigh hugged her boyfriend tightly.

"Ryleigh, I love you too." Johnny hugged his girlfriend back.

The recent events were really scaring the two of them. Neither of them could predict the future and they didn't know who this cult would come after next. They could come after Ryleigh and they could even come after Johnny. They knew who the Rangers were and they would stop at nothing to bring their number one foe down.

After their recent loss to the Power Rangers, the man called an emergency meeting for all of his subjects. Once again, they gathered in the abandoned factory to come up with a new plan.

"We need a new plan." the man told his students angrily.

"We know who the Rangers are now." one of the students said. "It was a great idea tapping into the Red Ranger's suit at the UCLA attack to find out how to track the Morphers."

"We can track all of the Rangers." another student added in. "So they're all revealed to us."

"Then let's go into the offensive this time." the man told them.

"I say we kidnap two Rangers, one from each campus." a student suggested.

"Let's go with Yellow and Pink." another student suggested.

"Great idea, let's get started on this now."
