==Stanford, California, United States==
Raylan and Emma arrived at the party around eleven at night to find that it was mad crazy. Kegs were everywhere and alcoholic beverages were being served left, right, and center. The music was blasting rap as the partygoers were throwing it down in the house. Emma could tell there was a look of concern on her boyfriend's face.
"Is everything alright?" she asked him. "You don't look too good."
"I've just never seen anything like this." Raylan looked around the house. "This is insanity."
"Yeah, I guess this is what freedom really is." Emma shrugged and inspected the bar. "I'm going to...uh...go get a drink or something."
"Really?" Raylan asked in surprise. "You drink?"
"There's a first time for everything!" Emma exclaimed and walked over to the bar.
"Crazy girl." Raylan chuckled and smiled. He noticed Trent talking to a few girls. Making eye contact, Trent called Raylan over.
Over at the bar, Emma looked at what the bartenders were mixing in the drinks. She had never had any sort of alcoholic beverage before, but that was what college was for. She stood at the counter and waited for one of the bartenders to notice her. She made eye contact with one and he brought her a drink.
"I think you wanted one of these." the bartender handed Emma a red solo cup filled with vodka and lemonade.
"Um, thanks!" Emma smiled and sipped her drink slowly.
The bartender who served her the drink turned around to face another who was working with him. He made a motion for him to take notice of Emma's wristwatch.
"I think we got the right girl." the first bartender mumbled to the second one.
"You sure this is the girl? the second one asked him. "She looks like too much of a priss to...you know...be a Power Ranger."
"She's got the wristwatch, though. Custom made yellow Rolex!" the first bartender exclaimed.
"Well, did you bug her drink?"
"Yeah, I put some gnarly shit in there. She'll be out in a matter of no time."
Emma started to feel woozy and placed her hands on her temples. When the boys knew she was about to pass out, they quickly ushered her to a back room.
Raylan, who was called over by Trent, walked over to the captain of his lacrosse team. Trent was with about three fairly attractive girls who seemed like they were just looking for a quickie at a party.
"Hey, bro!" Trent gave Raylan a high five. "I knew you'd show up! Where's your girl at?"
"She's over at the bar getting something to drink." Raylan pointed over to her.
"So she's not with you at the moment?" Trent asked.
"What do you mean?" Raylan raised an eyebrow.
"These are some really nice girls who were telling me how much they're into you." Trent winked at the Ranger.
"Umm..." Raylan scratched the back of his head. "No thanks..."
"Come on, bro, your girl would be fine with it!" Trent tried to convince him. "Besides, they're single."
"No, I'm seriously fine." Raylan gave him two thumbs up. "I'll catch you later. I need to go over to my girlfriend."
Raylan walked over to the bar where Emma said she would be, but he wasn't able to find her anywhere. Confused, he turned around and looked for her. It was only a small house, where could she have gone?
Remembering that he had a noise tap, he ran into the bathroom to be able to morph without notice. In the bathroom, he morphed into his Ranger suit and tapped into his noise sensors. After a little bit of paying attention, he was able to tap into the sound of Emma struggling. Picking up on the location, he instantly unmorphed and ran out of the bathroom and into the upstairs bedroom.
"What's going on in here?" he asked when he was his girlfriend tied up on the floor, completely passed out. The two bartenders were standing over her.
"Get him!" the first bartender shouted, sending the second one to tackle Raylan.
The second bartender grabbed Raylan by his hips and power-threw him to the ground. While Raylan was lying in pain and unable to fight for a minute, the first bartender leaped out of the window with Emma. The second bartender followed quickly. When Raylan was able to get up, he also jumped out of the window.
He chased them for as far as he could. Eventually, they ran into an alley that turned into a dead end. Panicking, they turned around and faced Raylan, who had a slight smirk on his face.
"I guess this is where we draw the line." Raylan said. "Hand her over and we'll act like this never happened."
"No!" the first bartender shouted.
"It looks like you're going to have to go down the hard way, then." Raylan stated. "It's morphin' time!"
He felt his suit materialize around him and then ran straight for the two bartenders. The first one was able to evade him quickly, but the second one was directly in his path. Raylan grabbed his head and bashed it into the wall, killing him almost instantly. Raylan turned around to the first bartender and leaped on top of him.
"I'm going to kill you!" Raylan shouted.
"No you're not!" the first bartender shouted back and rolled over on top of Raylan. When on top of him, he sent as many punches he could to Raylan's helmet.
"You forget that my helmet protects me." Raylan said and threw him off of himself. "What do you need her for?" he asked, looking at how the unconscious Emma was lying right in between the two.
"You'll never know." the bartender hissed. "Our father would be very displeased with us."
"Your father?" Raylan asked.
"This isn't over yet! Father will be back!" he shouted and ran off into the distance.
Raylan unmorphed and hurried over to his unconscious girlfriend. He untied the binds from her and felt her to see if she was still alive. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to regain consciousness for a while, he picked her up and carried her off. He didn't know where to go or what to do, but he was scared. One by one, the Rangers were starting to be targeted by this secretive organization. These guys were gaining on the Rangers, and they were gaining on them fast.
