Once back at JKP, RJ told Fran to close the parlor early. Blake and Trent looked as if they were ready to tear something or someone limb from limb. Hunter looked close to that point but his expression was relatively closed off.

Dominic took a seat at the counter. "What do we do now, RJ? How do we get in touch with all the other Ranger teams and see who has taken losses?"

RJ looked at Trent. "Your mentor is Doctor Tommy Oliver, isn't he?"

Trent nodded and asked. "Why?"

RJ pointed at Casey, who was sitting in a booth, his head lying on the table. "You're staying here. The rest of us are going on a road trip to see Tommy."

Casey looked askance at his mentor. "What? No! I'm going with you. Look, RJ, I'm almost at a hundred percent already. My only problem is a horribly scarred body and the fact that I'm still pretty weak. But you're not leaving me here. I want Lily back just as badly as the rest of you."

RJ looked at Dom. Dom shrugged. "Why not let him come along? It's not like we're going into battle. We're just going on reconnaissance. But the main thing is…we gotta hurry. Who knows what that goon is doing with the girls?"

Forty-five minutes later, the Jungle Fury Rangers, Dino Thunder Rangers and Blake and Hunter pulled up at the outskirts of Reefside. Dom stuck his head out of the crammed pizza cart to look at Connor, Trent, Blake and Hunter on their bikes.

"RJ, we need bikes. I feel like a clown in a VW bug in here!" Dom complained.

Casey threw a sarcastic barb at Dominic. "I have a bike."

Dominic responded in kind. "Then why don't you ride it and give us more room in here?"

Trent rode his bike to the front of the procession. "Come on guys. Follow me; I'll show you the way to the lab."

He rode off in a cloud of dust and the others fell in behind him. It took them just three minutes to get to Dr. Oliver's house. Trent and Connor put their bikes in the Vehicle Bay and Blake and Hunter leaned theirs against Tommy's Jeep. RJ parked the pizza cart next to the Jeep and the Jungle Fury Rangers clambered out.

Connor let them in the front door and called, "Dr. O? Dr. O, are you here?!" He turned towards the others. "Come on, he's probably in the lab." Connor led the way down the stairs and into the lab. Two people were already in the tricked-out room.

As they entered, a man with spiky black hair turned away from a computer. "Hey, Connor, Trent. How'd it go with the Jungle Fury Rangers?" Then he noticed the visitors. "Well, looks like you brought them back here with you."

Trent slapped the man on the shoulder. "Hey, Dr. O. This is RJ, Dominic, Theo and Casey," he pointed to each guy in turn and then added, "And you already know Blake and Hunter, of course."

A dark-skinned young man wearing blue plaid walked up and punched Connor on the arm. "Hey, dude. What's going on? Where's Kira?"

Connor's face turned grim. "We have a problem." Quickly, he explained what had happened, starting with Casey's capture to the capture of the other female Rangers. Finally, he finished, "So, we need to use your database and contacts to see which Rangers have been kidnapped. And I think we're going to need to team up to get them back. And not just us and the Ninja Storm and Jungle Fury Rangers, but all the Rangers. Every team. Every Ranger."

Dr. Oliver nodded. "Sounds like a good plan, Connor. Here, I'll give you contact information for the teams. We can divide and conquer, to get in touch faster. We don't want to leave those ladies in the clutches of evil for any longer than we have to."

He turned back to the computer and pulled up a list of communicator frequencies. "Here," he said, pressing the print button, "Connor, you call Mack and the Overdrive Rangers. Find out if Rose and Ronny are missing. Trent, you contact Nick and the Mystic Force guys-ask them if Madison and Vida are gone. Ethan, you get in touch with Jason and the Mighty Morphing Rangers and find out the status of Kimberly and Trini. Blake, you touch base with your team, see if you can find out how Tori was taken. Hunter, here's the communicator frequency for Carter Grayson and the Lightspeed Rescue team. Ask them if they've heard from Dana and Kelsey lately. RJ, please call Andros and the Space Rangers-I'm not sure if they're here or on KO-35 but find out if Ashley and Cassie are with them. Dominic, if you would please contact Wes Collins and the Time Force Rangers and check on Jen and Katie. Theo, you call Cole and the Wild Force Rangers-ask them how long it's been since they've heard from Alyssa and Taylor. And Casey, I need you to call Leo and the Galaxy Rangers on Miranoi and see if Kendrix and Karone are ok…maybe they didn't get captured since they're not on Earth. And I'll call Justin and Rocky to see about Kat and Aisha. Come on guys, let's get busy."

Everyone pulled out or raised up their morphers and strode off to different areas of the room to make their calls.

Author's Note: I hope this is interesting so far, possibly a bit boring from this chapter but hopefully not too bad! Please, read and review!

Author's Note 2: So I stole this idea from project314 in the story Power Rangers: End of Days. His trailer is so so much better than mine but I wanted to give it a shot. Plus, all you guys should definitely check it out because that story is amazing. I didn't pay attention at all in Biology today so I could read Chapter 14. So here's a trailer of what to expect in Bound. If you've already read Bound, maybe you'll enjoy the trailer anyway. Picture the music Final Countdown playing in the background. Please read and review, por favor.

Voiceover: Teams had always stepped up to the plate…

Jen, Lucas, Trip and Katie approach Wes in The End of Time Part Three

Wes: "You guys…you came back."

Lucas: "You didn't think you could get rid of us that easy, did you?"

Katie: "I thought we agreed to stick together."

Jen: "Wes. You're not the only one who can choose his own destiny. We all can."

Trip: "And we choose to stay and fight."

Voiceover: They had been hurt before…lost friends, lost battles.

Cassie yells at Kendrix to "Get out of there!" Leo runs, screaming for Kendrix. Kendrix is blown backwards after destroying the Saber and saving Cassie in The Power of Pink

Voiceover: But always they fought back and won the victory.

Cut to Zhane, TJ, Carlos, Cassie and Ashley on the roof of the building in Countdown to Destruction

Carlos: "Hold it right there!"

TJ: "We are the Power Rangers." "Ready?"

All: "Let's Rocket!"

Voiceover: And now…those they love the most are in mortal peril.

Shots of Blake and Cam fighting on the beach in I Love Lothor

Blake: "It's time you knew the truth, Tori!"

Blake: "My feelings are real! And I'm going to prove it!"

Blake stands in front of Tori, taking the shots meant for her.

Voiceover: Now they must battle to save those they love…even if it means fighting each other.

Justin spins into a karate kick, his faceplate cracked and broken.

Connor snaps a kick into the back of a monster, his movements slow.

Damon stands over Joel, holding a monster's sword at bay.

Rocky ducks a punch from Zack and throws his own right hook at Zack, who jumps away.

Danny slashes his Crystal Saber across Will's arm. Will slams his Drive Slammer into Danny's head.

Voiceover: And, even then, that might not be enough.

Casey punches Cam in the face.

Dustin pulls vainly at the cuffs holding Tori.

Dana and Karone circle each other, then both spring at the other.

Trini hangs limp in her cuffs.

Leo stands under Kendrix, his Quasar Saber in his hand. "I have to hurt you. I don't want to but I have to. And I have to do it now." His sword whistles through the air.

Jason screams at Andros. "More, Andros! MORE!"

Andros: "I CAN'T!"

Flynn: "You have to, mate! Do you want another death on your hands?"

A girl screams.

Voiceover: Now they will have to fight to escape.

Two lines are drawn in the room. Rangers face off with monsters. Connor steps forward. "No one reaches the girls. No one. We fight and we win…or we fight and we die."
