"....OOOne...Onnnee Miiinutee"
"Thank you, really"
He twirled his staff, feeling an extremely sudden rush of energy flooding his body. If he hadn't been expecting something, it would have likely dropped him to his knees.
It almost hurt, almost. Maybe he was close to ready for this anyway? Doesn't matter, not important. He raised his staff, willing the power to do what he wanted, begging it would just play along with the image in his head.
He had no clue how it worked, how Ross had shaped the fire to do as he wanted, but he knew it had to work.
"Why don't you just sit there and wait till I get back!!"
He slams his staff into the earth, the ground trembles and shakes and the crack Ascella had created seals itself back up and at the point where she had initially hit the ground with her staff the very earth erupts.
Rock and dirt suddenly grab and bind her, knocking her staff away and sealing her in the ground Richie had shaken up. As suddenly as the power had come, he felt it fade, returning to a state in which he could no longer wield it.
"How long will that last Mirror!?"
"N—--N-Not L—-Lon—Long."
"Right, okay, I'm gonna be quick then" he turns back to the others "Sit tight I promise, I'll be a couple minutes at worst. Mirror, teleport me back to the Commander centre!"
Richie vanishes in a flash of deep purple light, leaving Ascella much more surprised than she thought she would be.
Impressive...but not enough. She closes her eyes, focusing hard. Though it would take a minute, she would be able to escape even without her staff.

Ross looked at his father then back to the screen, seeing his friends struggling. Eventually he sighs.
"I'm...I'm gonna go clean up in the Dojo Abeoji"
"Yeah, you do that"
Ross frowns and turns walking to the exit before he hears the familiar teleportation sound. He freezes, then hugs the wall of the corridor and peers around to see.
"Richie, what are you doing!?"
Richie huffed, pulling out the red morpher from its spot.
"Where's Ross?"
Adam gritted his teeth and tore the morpher from Richie's hold.
"No. Now go, your team needs you"
"My team needs a leader" Richie replies.
"You're doing a good job in that position yourself. Now go"
Adam goes to lock the morpher back in into its spot when Richie pulls his helmet off and grabs Adam's arm.
"No. Mirror stated we need a red ranger"
"Then I'll find one"
"Adam, we need him!"
Adam pulled back a little, keeping his glare on the younger ranger.
"And as his father, I have to do what's best for him! Now go!"
Richie stared at him, his gaze narrowing.
"Adam - there's no one in the entire fucking world who would be a better red ranger for us than Ross! We need him! We can't win alone! Please, just listen to me! I won't let anything happen to him!"
