"Say goodbye, Red Ranger," says Azazel with his staff as the ghost monster began to charge hers, two beams flew toward Mark; Dean worried he wouldn't get there in time. Thankfully, he arrived at Mark's location and deflected the beams with the silver sword as it struck around them rather than at them.

"What?!" exclaimed Azazel. "Dean Winchester?! How are you alive!" he said in shock.

"Hello Azazel," says Dean. "Long time no chat,"

"Why you son of a..." Azazel started as Dean held up his hand.

"Watch your mouth, there are younger kids reading this," Dean said.

"Who is that?!" exclaimed the ghost monster.

"I see you don't remember me Constance," he laughed, "Sorry I don't have time to chat but," quickly taking out a smoke bomb, Dean tossed it to the ground making him and Mark disappear and reappear in the bunker. When Azazel made it back to hell, he walked over to Lucifer slightly worried about how he would react, even the monster was hidden around the corner. Azazel cleared his throat as he approached Lucifer.

"Sir," he said. "Um... there's no easy way to say this but..."

"Let me guess," says Lucifer. "You isolated Mark but, but in the process, when you had him, Dean Winchester appeared and saved his butt?"

"Well..." says Azazel.

"Did I not say that I wanted the red ranger destroyed?" questioned Lucifer.

"You did but," Azazel was interrupted before he could say anything else.

"And didn't I say that you were supposed to take Mark out?" spoke Lucifer as he narrowed his eyes toward Azazel. Azazel realized what Lucifer was getting at and decided to stay quiet. His master turned around and made his way over to Azazel, grabbing him by the armor he dragged him to his feet. "I want both of you back out there, and I want Mark dead, do I make myself clear?" warned Lucifer.

"Yes sir," agrees Azazel.

"And if you fail me again, I will throw you into the cage!" he said. "Got it?!"

"Right, yes sir, one dead red ranger coming up!" Azazel said quickly.

"Good!" letting go of Azazel Lucifer walked over to his throne and sat down, his determination to get the colt was strong but as long as the red ranger was around, he was going to lose and maybe even stay trapped in hell for the rest of eternity. Mark had found that Dean had saved him from possible death. But that never made him feel any better, he saw that without his team, then his purpose was not needed. Mark wanted desperately to know where his fellow rangers and friends were.

"Thank you," says Mark. "But I know I can handle them alone, you didn't need to save me,"

"Mark, I had no choice. Constance and Azazel would have finished you off then and there," says Dean. "You're lucky your even alive,"

"But what about the rest of the team?" says Mark worriedly.

"If Constance did turn them into ghosts, we'll be able to find them using this," he responded holding up a strange device with five dots on it.

"What is it?" asked Mark.

"It's an EMF detector, an actual one not like the one in that Phasmophobia game," answers Colby. "If there's a spirit around, the EMF or electromagnetic field detector can find it," Dean looked at Colby with a surprised expression on his face.

"What?" asked Colby.

"How do you know that?" questioned Dean. "I haven't told you that at all,"

"Dean, remember, my friend and I ghost hunt," Colby said.

"Guys," says Mark. "Less talking more helping?" Mark had been worried sick, and he didn't know what to think. How could he be a leader if his friends were no where in sight. They for the first time he had felt like he was alone and didn't know what to do.

"Right," says Dean. "Anyway, if your friends are here, then they're in ghost form," he continued. "Constance was able to turn them into spirits so all we have to do is check to see if they're here,"

"After that?" questioned Mark. "Don't you think that we'd have to find a way to free them?" Dean thought about it for a second until an idea struck him, it was risky, but he believed that it would work.

"Once we find them, we can try to teleport them to your location," Dean said. "Colby, see if you can lock onto the teleportation,"

"Okay," says Colby as he started to press a few buttons. At the same time, the alarm went off. Quickly, Colby started searching for the location and turned toward Mark and Dean. "Guys, we've got a problem, Constance is back and so is Azazel, they're attacking a construction site!"

"Mark, go and fight them, we'll try to bring the rest of the rangers back," says Dean. Mark was about to protest when Dean held his hand up. "Go, now," Mark nodded his head and left the bunker.

"Lightning strike, Ranger up!" says Mark as he ran for the construction site transforming into the red ranger.

"Alright, Colby, let's start searching," Dean said as he grabbed the EMF reader and began scanning the bunker for anything that could point him to the rangers. As he moved further into the bunker, suddenly the EMF reader was going haywire. It kept going to the red as if there were spirits around the area. Dean followed it until he was led to the couches that were in the living room, a sigh of relief escaped from his mouth as he raced back over to Colby. "Colby! I found them, lock onto their location and try to make it so they'd be able to come back in human form then send them straight to battle,"

"You got it Dean!" Colby exclaimed as he rolled up to the desk in his chair and started to put in the command sequence. Dean nodded and watched the screen as he had been worried about Mark.
