Kim flipped the Cog that was giving Skye some trouble over the edge of the cliff. She stood close to the edge of the canyon cliff breathing hard as Skye limped towards her reaching for his communicator, determined to carry out Tommy's instructions. She did look a little winded from their brief encounter.

"Come on lets get out of..." his sentence remain unfinished as Kim suddenly swayed and slipped with heart-stopping suddenness and slipped over the edge of the cliff. Skye with astonishing reflexes that he hadn't thought he possessed lunged after her but was caught unbalanced and slid over the edge after her. They tumbled a short way, Skye never breaking his grip and wedged in a sapling jutting out from the cliff face, the jolt of impact leaving Kim scrambling for a more secure grip on his leg, and Skye bent double over the springy trunk of the tree. "I'm going to head back to the Power Chamber," Franklin informed the three adults. "Mrs. McCormick, I promise you, we're going to find him." This time Zhane did sigh. "Fine," he said, taking one arm off the table and turning slightly to face them. "What are we voting on?"

"KO-35 wants the Astro Rangers to defend the Kerova system," Carlos said, addressing everyone once more. "The Alliance wants Earth to have Ranger protection too, and I'm pretty sure Earth would agree. But the whole team can't be in two places at once--"

"Split the team," Zhane interrupted. "We're not one team anymore anyway."

"I'd have to agree." TJ sounded a little reluctant, but not uncertain. "Especially after today, there are Kerovan Rangers and there are Earth Rangers. Ashley will have to make her own decision, but we can't ignore the fact that things have changed."

"Especially after today?" Carlos echoed. "What do you mean by that?"

          She smiled. "Thank you, Franklin." The Green Turbo Ranger teleported out, just as his mother came back into the room.
          "I thought we could all use a beer," Eileen Park announced, passing one bottle to her husband. "What happened today, besides finding out that your children are superheroes?"
          Quickly, Joyce related the events of her kidnapping and Drew's subsequent capture. Eileen looked on in concern, while Trevor's face went hard and his hand absently went up to touch the bandage on his shoulder. When she wound down, Joyce looked at the other two adults with an exhausted expression.
