Chapter 5: Rescue

Alarms blared through the house. The rangers ran to the control center in the house, seeing Master Ji typing on the computers.

"Glycerin is back." Was all he said, before something appeared on the screen.

"Surprise rangers! I have something for you." Glycerin said in the screen. Moogers appeared behind him, throwing a figure to the ground.

"Anya!" Jayden exclaimed, looking at the screen. Anya was unconscious, her hands shackled in front of her.

"You want her, come and get her!" Glycerin yelled, before the screen went black. Jayden growled, pushing away and headed out the door.

"Jayden what are you doing?" Emily asked.

"I'm going to save her." He gritted through his teeth.

"We don't know if this is a trap Jayden." Kevin told him. Jayden turned on the spot.

"Trap or not she's out there. She's probably hurt or scared. I have to save her." He yelled. Emily crossed her arms, looking at Master Ji, who had his eyes closed.

"Let us Ji. We have to save her no matter what." Mia told him. Mike sighed, then nodded.

"We have to." He said. Kevin nodded, standing beside Mia. Ji looked at them, before nodding.

"Go, but be careful." He told them. They all nodded before running out.

Anya gritted her teeth as the ropes cut into her chest, almost unable to breathe. Her hands were shackled behind her around a post. Her feet were out in front of her, tied together. Ropes wrapped tightly around her chest, waist, and shoulders. She sighed, pulling against them to satisfy the Moogers.

"Looks like you're in a predicament little sorceress?" Glycerin asked, looking at her. Anya glared at him.

"In just a few moments, as the Moogers attack the town. Your precious little rangers will come to your aid, and be stopped in the process." He explained.

"They're not that stupid. They won't fall for a pathetic plan like that." She hissed out in ragged breaths. Glycerin growled, taking her chin in his hands.

"Listen here little sorceress. . .I'll. . ."

"Get away from her Glycerin!" Glycerin looked up seeing the rangers in full uniform running up. She smiled.

"Guys!" She yelled, a hint of glee in her voice. A Mooger gagged her, and she mumbled, struggling. She looked at the rangers.

"Well, well. We meet again Rangers. And this time for your precious sorceress." Glycerin said, looking at them. Suddenly the Moogers attacked them, driving them away. Jayden was the first through, fighting Glycerin. Anya watched helplessly. She wanted to be helping them. But she couldn't.

Jayden fell near Anya. He looked up at her through his helmet. She looked horrible. Bags were under her dull eyes. A cut was scabbed up under her eyes. She looked thin, very thin. He frowned, before flipping up and hitting Glycerin in the head with his sword. The Rangers were winning.

"Time to take this to the next step." Glycerin yelled. Sending his sword down, the ropes cut from the post but tied around Anya tightly. Grabbing her and keeping a hold of her, He jumped up onto a building. Anya screamed, though it was muffled. Jayden jumped up as Glycerin suddenly grew large. Vines wrapped around Anya in Glycerin's middle, keeping her near him.

"We need folding zord power now!" Jayden yelled as they called their zords to make their mega zord. Soon the fight was on.

The zord's sword slashed right through Glycerin, and he exploded. Jayden saw Anya in the midst. He ran out of the zord, onto its shoulder, then jumped off as Anya fell. He caught her, safely landing on the roof of a building. Anya's eyes were closed. Jayden took the gag out of Anya's mouth.

"Anya. You're safe now." Jayden whispered. Anya opened her eyes, relief washing over her as she met the eyes of her life-line. He smiled.

"Jayden!" She exclaimed. Jayden grinned. Using his sword, he unlocked the shackles around Anya's wrists in front of him. Anya hissed out air as he slid them off carefully, grimacing. Her wrists were bloody and raw from the chains. He sighed, then finished cutting the ropes off of her. Her clothes were torn but other than that she was okay. The rest of the rangers ran up behind her, their helmets off just like Jayden's.

"Is she okay?" Emily asked. Anya smiled, looking at them.

"Welcome back bud." Kevin smiled. Anya laughed, then coughed hard. She smiled again, as Jayden picked her up.

"Come on. Let's go home." He said as she closed her eyes.
