Power Rangers Galactic Force

Chapter 9: Halo

It had been an hour since Nil had gone off on his own. Everyone was waiting in the bridge for any updates. ALIVA had his location pulled up on a map. They were all hoping it would move and show he was getting out of there, but it remained stationary. It was making everyone more and more concerned as the time droned on.

It was starting to look hopeless that either tracker was going to move. Nil was probably not coming back at this point. And the assassins still had Nico in their grasp as well.

"I wish we had cameras there so we could see what was going on..." Jae whispered.

"I'm starting to think Nil might not be coming back." Carlito commented.

Right as he finished, the hologram changed and showed a transmission. It was of Noval and Herux.

"Did it work? Did we get the right frequency?" Herux was talking.

Noval growled and whacked him. "Shut it."

Herux grumbled as he rubbed where she had hit him. The two faced the camera now. They got serious and stood up straight. Noval cleared her throat.

"Special Force. We have two of you now. If you value their lives... you'll come to us by tomorrow night or else both will end up far away from you and never return." Noval spoke.

The two assassins moved away from the screen to display their captives. Nico and Nil were tied up against a wall, both unconscious. Nil had a noticeable trail of blood on his head. Nico looked relatively okay save for the wounds sustained before his capture.

"We look forward to seeing what you can do~" Noval hummed and then the transmission ended almost as quickly as it had begun.

Everyone stood in silence for a while. They weren't sure what to say to what they had just seen. Their fears were coming true. Two of them were in the hands of the assassins. And if they didn't work fast, they would lose them forever.

"Commander?" Jae was the first to break the silence. "What do we do?"

Tsang was quiet for a long time. He stared down at the table, his hands clenching the ends tightly.

"Tomorrow, we commence a rescue mission. You all will go and try to retrieve them. Only fight the assassins as much as you need to to get those two to safety. They're the most important part of this." Tsang stated.

"But... how do we do that? Those two are tough." Raffael questioned.

"We'll have to try and have some of us to distract them while others go in and try to get those two out." Maxi said.

"Will it work? They're probably expecting us to do something like that."

"It's our only option. There's no way we're going to take down those two right now."

"Who wants to do what?" Tsang asked. "Try to evenly split up as best as you can."

"I'm going to get Nicolao." Jae stated almost immediately.

"I'll join you." Maxi said.

"We can try to attack Noval." Amable said as they wrapped an arm around Oliver's shoulder.

"I want to fight Herux." ALIVA stated.

"I'll join you." Carlito said.

"I'll fight with Oliver and Amable." Raffael said.

"Then that is our plan." Tsang stated. "Rest up. You'll need all the rest you can get."

Everyone slowly left the bridge and went to their rooms. The atmosphere was heavy. This was not going to be an easy situation to come out of on top. Would their plan work or was something bad going to happen?
