"What do you mean she was just here?" Troy raised his voice at the robot. They had just entered the command center and asked Tensou if they could track down Emma. Tensou became confused as to why they would need to know that considering Emma was just with him forty five minutes ago. Once he had finished the requested tool, Emma took it and sped off to somewhere.

"What else am I supposed to say? She teleported in here an hour ago." Tensou started shrinking back into a little corner.

"Where is she now?" Troy demanded.

"I don't know!"

"Find her." Troy growled as he walked up to him with anger in his eyes.

"Hey man, calm down." Noah stepped in and gently pushed Troy back. "Scaring the little guy like that isn't going to help anyone. I know you're worried and all, but you don't have to act like a dick."

Troy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "It's not just that. I'm the leader; I should be keeping them safe. It's my responsibility."

"Oh come on Troy," Noah said. "We face danger every day. I bet you that something like this is going to happen again. It's not like you'll be able to keep them safe 24/7."

"But I still have to try."

"This isn't even your fault. If anyone, it's the stupid alien's fault. They're the ones that are invading us."

"I know, I know. I still can't help, but feel responsible for this."

"Troy, you're the red ranger, but you're still human. You're not some God who can keep watch over everyone all the time. I hate it just as much as you, but we'll have to learn to get used to this. We'll get through this together"

Troy sighed, accepting his defeat. "I guess I'm still just learning how to be a leader."

"Stop trying to be so perfect, I think that's your problem man."

"Rangers!" Tensou interrupted. "I've managed to find their signals. They're at Oceana Parkway, it's near Harwood's nuclear power plant."

"Nuclear power plant?" Noah frowned deeply. Fights involved explosions, and explosions certainly did not mix well with nuclear power plants.

"We'll figure it all out later. For now, let's just go and see if we can talk some sense into them." Troy and Noah sprinted out of the command center. In record's time, they were at their destination and came face to face with Jake, Gia, and Emma.

"Emma." Troy begged. "Please, not you too."

Troy's stomach turned when he saw Emma and the others morph in front of him. Fighting Gia and Jake was hard enough, but now he had to fight the Emma? He had already promised himself that he would never lay a hand on any of his teammates, especially her.

"Troy!" Noah yelled as he tried to parry three rangers by himself. Troy snapped out of his thoughts and immediately morphed.

Troy sprinted towards Noah and grabbed Emma. Noah used this opportunity and called upon his bow gun. He carefully shot his arrow at Jake. However, instead of hitting the black ranger, it merely pinned down Jake.

Jake growled and attempted to pull out the arrow, but couldn't manage to get it out. The blue ranger let out a breath of relief. Now he only had one more ranger to take care of. Noah then turned his attention to Gia and saw that she wasn't very happy. Gia tackled Noah in an attempt to pin him down. However, Noah managed to escape her grip and distanced himself from her.

"Sorry about this." Noah aimed his arrow and carefully controlled the power of the shot. The arrow would hurt, but at least it wouldn't kill her. To his surprise, Gia got up quickly and landed a strong punch to the side of his face. He recoiled in pain, but used the pain to fuel his fighting spirit. His friends were in danger, the very first friends he had truly made. Due to his extreme love of science, Noah was teased often about being a nerd or a geek. He never let those words stop him from his passion, but that didn't help his social reputation. The first person to see Noah as more than a nerd was Jake. Jake may have been Noah's only real friend for years, but then Noah became a power ranger. This team was starting to feel like his second family. He was going to bring back his family, the easy way or the hard way.

"Emma! Stop it!" Troy ducked an incoming kick to the face that could've taken his head off. He backed away and held up his hands. "It's us Emma, it's me, Troy. We aren't going to hurt you. We just want to know what happened."

Emma took her aim, pressed the trigger, but shot nothing. Troy managed to roll away in the nick of time. He looked back to where he was standing and saw that her shot was poorly aimed. Even if he didn't move, the blast wouldn't have hit him. It was a good fifteen feet away from where he was standing earlier. It didn't make sense. Next to Noah, she was probably one of the best when it came to accuracy. There was no way that she would miss her target that badly.

Emma fired another shot except this time, it wasn't aimed for Troy. Noah was about to land a decisive blow, but was knocked of his feet by the blast. He looked to his chest at where he was shot and stared. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt that bad. He was sure it would leave a mark, but it wasn't as strong as it could've been. If Emma wanted to, that shot could've nearly killed him.

Troy got up and rushed towards Emma. He grabbed her weapon before she could fire, and threw away. Troy then grabbed her wrists and pulled her close. "Emma, I'm begging you to stop this!"

Emma was thankful for her helmet or else Troy would've seen her watery eyes. She wanted to assure him that everything was okay, but she couldn't afford to do that right now. She couldn't let him know her plan quite yet, she had to do this alone.

"Hit me." She growled back. Emma twisted her arms in order to get the leverage on Troy. He lost his grip and Emma pushed him back. Before anyone could do anything else, Gia barked a command.

"Emma! We need to retreat now!" She pointed to the now unconscious Jake that was lying on the ground. Troy looked at Noah, surprised that he would do that to his best friend.

"Tough love." Noah merely shrugged his shoulders and watched as Gia ran to Jake. Emma shot the ground and when the smoke cleared, they were gone.

"Damn it!" Troy yelled as he stomped on the ground. He felt like he had failed again. It was his fault for not paying attention and losing Emma. His friends were right there in front of him, and he couldn't do anything. He didn't feel like the stereotypical strong red ranger, he felt like a pathetic excuse for a person that couldn't save his friends.
