"I - I know! I get it! But....I want to help Ross. I need to help Ross!" He pauses looking at the others before looking back at Alpha "...You know other languages right?"

"Ai yai yai yai...yes, I've been programmed to understand every commonly earth language as well as several common alien languages" he replies.

Richie inhales slowly.

"Alpha... I... ...lo amo. Ross es mi todo, tengo que salvarlo. No puedo dejar que le pase nada. ¡Por favor, déjame salvarlo!" He says, with a hint of tears in his eyes "Haré lo que sea, por favor..."

Alpha made a sound like a sigh.

"I understand, Adam will probably forgive me anyway considering the situation. Grab a morpher and go Richie, the AI inside will explain what you need to do!"

Richie nods, grabbing a morpher from the box before looking at the other three teens.

"Are any of you coming with me?"

"You expect us to run headlong into danger?" Alisha asked "You're an idiot Richard. I'm not gonna risk my life for some privileged Asshole because he wanted to play hero and neither are these two!"

Melissa and Axel glanced at each other before Alisha glared at them and they both backed up a bit. Richie almost growled in response.

"Privileged Asshole is some thing to call Ross. He does a lot for everyone, he volunteers all over the place, he tries his best to go above and beyond for everyone, even people like you Alisha, you who have treated him like shit since the day you met him!" he shouts "You don't know what he does, he won't let me tell people the things he does for them because he doesn't want people to thank him, or to treat him like some saint!"

Alisha raised an eyebrow.

"Heh, he just wants you to stand up for him"

"Bullshit he does!" Richard growls "You know that dragon from a few months back! You know he threw a rock at it to distract it from the literal power rangers! He did that, without any powers without anything that makes him special! Just a rock and some guts! He's a better person than you Alisha."

She opens her mouth to respond and Richie cuts her off.

"No, I'm not done. Ross has dealt with it, dealt with you hating him, with you and others treating him like he doesn't deserve good things, he's held me back from acting on how I felt about it. And now, Ross Hyeon Park, my best friend, my only friend and the most amazing man I have ever met is risking his life, not just for his father, but everyone who is in danger if these aliens get whatever the fuck they're after. So I'm going to help him. Are any of you going to find the guts to do the same?!"

He turns around heading to the door.

"For once in your goddamn lives, do something. Do something for him. Help him"

Axel looks at the floor before speaking up.

"Okay. I'll help. I'll...I'll try" he walks up and grabs a morpher.

"Well, if Axel's going, so am I" Melissa agrees, doing the same.

Alisha stares at them.

"Am I the only one is this fucking room who is goddamn insane!?" she stares at the case now containing only one morpher "You know what, fine, I'm coming! But I'm only doing because I'd rather Angel Grove not be torn to shreds"
