A/N: w00t! I've updated again! Hehe, I've got so many ideas for it though so there'll be more soon enough. -giggles- Enjoy!

Conner's eyes flew open with a jolt and looked around frantically, his hands were still tied up over his head, and now his feet had been tied together by the ankles. He groaned and side glanced at the young boy beside him, Hunter's head was tilted forwards, fast asleep. The red ranger sighed softly and closed his eyes again, ignoring a growing unease in the pit of his stomach.

Conner...

Conner furrowed his brow, "what's going on..?" He muttered under his breath.

Conner? Can you hear me?

"I can hear you.." Conner whispered quietly.

Come on dude.. Conner, we're coming, kay..? Hang in there dude..

Conner opened his eyes slowly and looked around again, the room was poorly lit, Hunter's small figure could just be made out. His gaze moved over to the sleeping guard, slumped against the wall, the only movement being the slow rising and falling of his chest. Sighing quietly, the red ranger closed his eyes tightly, trying to get some rest, before more trouble came in the morning.

Conner, we're coming..

As the sun rose slowly, the birds chirped outside Kira's open window. Kira woke with a sigh and rubbed her eyes slowly, she looked around slightly then smiled softly at the small bundle curled up under the covers beside her. The yellow ranger lifted the covers to see Dustin cuddling a lion teddy close to his chest. Trying not to wake the young boy, Kira slipped off the bed and grabbed her jeans and yellow blouse, and stepped out her room and down into the bathroom.

Kira..

Kira stepped out the bathroom and straightened her shirt, deciding to leave Dustin sleeping for now, she yawned and walked down the stairs.

Kir.. Can you hear me?

Kira stopped mid step and blinked, "uh.."

"Something the matter?" Cam's voice interrupted from where he was standing at the bottom of the stairs.

"Uh.. No, nothings the matter." Kira replied and hurried down the stairs, "any news on that device yet?"

"Nothing. It's just a dud now.." Cam sighed, "that's why I'm here actually.." He removed his glasses to rub the bridge of his nose, "me and Hayley are going to head back to Blue Bay Harbour.. We need to ask of a huge favor."

"No way," Kira said sternly and walked past him into the kitchen.

"Why not? Dustin adores you," Cam pointed out and followed the yellow ranger. "Tori will go where ever Dustin is.."

"And Blake?" Kira asked and turned to face him, "that boy hasn't come out of the spare room since I got him out the bathroom."

"We're working on it," Cam replied calmly. "He'll be fine.. Just.. Make sure he knows Dr. Oliver and Trent are doing everything they can to find Hunter."

"And Conner?" Kira snapped, "what about him?"

Cam looked at her evenly, "Kira.."

"I'm sorry," Kira replied quickly. "I'm just tired.."

"Liar," Cam replied and sat at the breakfast table. "You know about me and Hunter.."

"There's nothing going on between me and Conner, don't make it sound like there is.."

Cam eyed the yellow ranger as she walked over to the window, she stared out of it, not really seeing what was in front of her. "Kira.. You should tell him."

"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Kira asked sharply.

The Samurai sighed and got up, "we'll let you know the moment we find out anything." He said and walked out the kitchen.

Kira closed her eyes and sighed heavily, a growing sense of unease tugged the pit of her stomach.

Kira..

A frown tugged at Kira's lips as she stared out the window, "who...?" She whispered.

Kira.. Can you hear me?

"I can hear you.." Kira whispered, "who..?"

We're helping.. Trust me.. Conner's safe..

"Con?" Kira muttered.

Trust me..

"One.. Two.. Three.. Four.. Five.. Six.. Eight.. Seven.. Two.. Four.. One Hundred! Ready or not, here I come!"

Tori squealed happily and ran further though the bushes of Kira's large back garden. She dropped onto her knees and crawled through the mud and hid behind the willow tree's root, giggling giddily.

Dustin bounded down the garden and grinned to himself, Tori's giggling giving away where she was hidden. He bounced over to where she was hidden and crawled into the bushes and crawled through the mud, looking around.

"Towi?"

Tori giggled and covered her mouth quickly.

Dustin looked around then a grin spread across his little face, he reached out and grabbed her ankle, "got'cha!"

Tori squealed and rolled onto her back, "Dusty!"

Dustin gave his best friend an innocent grin, and crawled next to her and hugged her, "heya!" He chirped happily.

Tori hugged him and and looked around "where's Kira?" She asked, "I thought she was playing.."

"She's over there," Dustin pointed through the bushes to where the yellow ranger was sitting on the bench.

"Come on!" Tori chirped and crawled through the mud and out into the garden again, Dustin shortly behind her.

Trust me..

Kira blinked when two small bundles of energy flopped down at her feet, "huh.." She jumped slightly and looked down at the ground.

Tori giggled, pushing Dustin off him, "hey Kira!" She chirped. "Aren't you gonna come play?"

"Not just yet," Kira replied. "You two go and carry on playing for a while, I'll call you for lunch, kay?"

"Kay!" The two kids chirped and bounced off.

Conner's safe.. Trust me..

"You ok?" A male voice asked from behind Kira.

Kira smiled, not needing to turn, "I thought you were staying away for a while?"

"Nope," Ethan said and moved around to sit next to her. "After I heard about Hunter running off, then Conner.. I thought I should come back and see if I can help."

Kira turned to face him and looked at him, "Eth.. I think I'm going mad."

Ethan bit back a chuckle and looked at her, "what? Has being around me and Conner affected you that much?"

Kira rolled her eyes and punched his arm playfully, "no.." She sighed, her face turning serious, "I keep hearing a voice, in my head."

"A voice?"

"Yeah.. Telling me Conner's safe, to trust the voice.. I don't know who it is.."

"Huh.. Have you spoke to anyone else about it?" Ethan asked, getting a shake of her head, he sighed. "I think you should ask someone about it.."

Kira.. You know who it is.. Trust me..

"There it is," Kira said suddenly.

"I didn't hear anything.."

"Why do I hear a voice, and you don't?" Kira asked and looked around.

"Maybe it's someone to do with Conner?"

"I still don't understand why I would hear it, and not you."

"Ok, this is really getting frustrating," a male muttered quietly.

"Keep trying," his female partner muttered back.

"What's the point?"

"Come on, you know what the point is.. Just keep trying, kay?"

The male sighed in frustration and closed his eyes, "they won't listen."

"Don't be so damn cryptic then," the female retorted playfully. "Just say who you are and what you're playing at."

"Why can't I just go on up into that twit's ship and get Hunter and Conner out myself?"

"Because you still get stuck in the ground when you don't concentrate," the female replied simply. "How are you supposed to get up into space and back again?"

"Dude.. That was harsh."

"Pst."

".."

"Pst."

".."

"Psssssssst!"

".."

"Jock head!"

"Who're you calling a Jock?" Conner hissed quietly and glared at the little boy beside him.

Hunter grinned and looked up at him, "you were ignoring me."

"For good reason."

"..."

Conner rolled his eyes and looked at him, "hey. How did you get captured anyway?"

"Uh.. I.." Hunter sighed and lowered his gaze to the ground, "I was looking for someone."

"Oh? Who?"

"My parents.."

"Oh, man.." Conner muttered.

"How did you get here?" The young boy asked, deliberately changing the subject, he glanced back up at the red ranger. "Did'ya get your butt kicked?"

"Ha. Ha. No."

"Yeah, right." Hunter retorted and grinned, "you got your butt kicked majorly, didn't you?"

"Shut. Up."

"Shut up the both of you," A voice growled from behind them.

"Now you did it," Hunter muttered.

"Shut up," Conner hissed.

Lothor growled warningly and walked around to the front of them, "now.. Why don't you call your friends up here?" He asked, "maybe we could get a little get together."

"Why don't you get lost?" Conner snarled.

Lothor untied Hunter's arms and legs and grabbed him tightly, "now.. You get your friends here, or I'll kill this little kid."

"Leave him alone," Conner said simply, struggling the most he could against his restraints.

"No," Lothor disappeared, taking the young boy with him.

"Get back here!" Conner yelled uselessly.

Conner.. Dude.. We're coming..
