"Ross, you don't know what you're talking abou-"
Ross shook his head firmly.
"I do, Dad, I know. I know because you taught me!" he looks at the morpher, before holding his hand out to his father "And frankly, I'm sure you know that I'm going to go to help the other rangers whether you say yes or not. I'm your son, I won't let you stop me"
Adam glanced at the morpher, then to the fire burning in his son's eyes.
"...Ross..."
"I'm...asking for a yes, but a no won't stop me. I know what I need to do. I know it. I feel it in every fiber of my being, I'll give it back. If that's what you want, what you really believe is best for me. But right now, my best friend, my only friend is fighting a fight he doesn't know how to win. So let me help him. Or I'll do it regardless"
"Ross...I-"
"I'll go out without it, I'll fight without it, I've done so before. Please, let me have that morpher so I can defend myself effectively."
Adam folded his arms, groaning.
"That's some ultimatum..." he looks at the morpher and takes it, offering it to Ross "Fine. This isn't a yes. I expect you to give it back, you are not a ranger. But I'm not sending you out without some powers to fight with..."
"Thank you Dad"
"...You're grounded when you get home, I hope you know that"
Ross straps the morpher on before snickering.
"I'm 18 Abeoji. You can't ground me"
With that he teleported out to help the other rangers.

Richie had been back for like...five seconds, before Ascella broke out of the rock tomb with a burst of green light, she held her hand out - her staff flying back to it.
"Shit, okay" Richie jumps back, he spins his staff holding it close "Here we go again-"
Suddenly, several blasts of fire seemed to be raining down on the park. Richie gasped, growing tense in case they would hit him - but they seemed to be specifically moving around him.
"What the..." his gaze moved over to Ascella.
A glowing shield surrounded her as flames hit it and fizzled out.
Richie looked around more, noticing flaming arrows stuck in the magic binds on each of the rangers.
"You know, it's kind of unfair." A familiar voice said "Magic against the magic-less"
Richie turned around, seeing a morphed Ross heading towards them with a bow in hand.
"Princey!"
"Hey Richie, sorry it took me so long...thanks for talking to Abeoji"
"He's letting you?"
Ross stopped next to the black ranger, shaking his head.
"He didn't get a choice. I was coming to help with or without powers. I'll still have to give them back after."
"Dammit Adam" Richie huffed.
"It's fine" Ross turned his focus on the other rangers "Don't worry guys, you'll be out in a moment"
He snaps his fingers and the fiery arrows lodge in each ranger's binds, lit the glowing chains up, shattering them. Melissa got up, dusting herself off.
