"Wait...what? I thought it was just physical exhaustion..."

"That certainly isn't helping your case. You know the solution, it's the only solution"

Adam turns back around, gritting his teeth and taking deep breaths to try and stay calm.

"Just...just go. I'm done with everyone telling me what to do like I'm still a teenager"

"Adam-"

"I said go!!"

A sigh echoes around the room before the voice speaks up again.

"Very well, I will take my leave. But...one last thing. Your son's life may very well depend on whether he holds the power or not, Adam. Please remember, he should not be breathing in this moment and the universe will not take that lightly"

Adam waited in silence, expecting more...but to his relief it was gone.

Suddenly, alarms went off in the base. Adam frowned, looking up at the screen.

"Alpha!"

"Ai yai yai yai yai!" Alpha waddles in "What's going on!?"

"I don't know yet, but Richie and Ross are outside, so while I grab the black ranger, you contact the other three!"

"Already on it!"

"Ascella, if your plan fails-"

"Yes commander, I understand. It will not fail"

The strange alien girl stands in a park, drawing odd looks. Certainly the strange people of this earth didn't recognise much strangeness yet. Perhaps they believed her to be in costume? Possibly.

Regardless...

She pulled out two small spawner cubes and threw them up into the air, they landed in different areas of the park, before swarms of Drainers started to flood out in flashes of light. Ascella observes the panicked humans, something tugging at her deep inside...

For a moment perhaps she felt some...pity? Guilt? She wasn't sure, only that she felt something. But that something was quickly drowned away, as though it had never existed.

It didn't matter. She had a mission. Her commander had given her orders and she would obey.

Ascella un-clips a small feline shaped wooden totem from her necklace, twirling it around in her hand before a green shimmer of magic swirled around it and transformed into a staff, the staff being a plain brown with the feline - now more clearly appearing to be a dark green lynx, sat atop it, the tail wrapped around it and vines with a flower trailing down the top part of the staff.

Ascella grabs her staff, climbing on top of it and gliding into the air as though she weighed nothing, free to watch the Drainers from above...and the rangers when they would inevitably arrive.

"I still don't know if I want to do this..."

Melissa sighed, sitting in the command centre with Richie as they waited for the other two to find a safe place to teleport in.

"Look Mel, there's not much we can do. We're needed here, and hey we did pretty well our first try"

Ross slipped in with some soft drinks.

"Hey guys, here!"

Richie chuckled.
