They got to Altru as Mae got into an argument with a grunt. Dijon cracked a smile as he started imitating her.

"You are nothing but an unless, pathetic moron! We could've done this in an hour if you and your little friend group were faster!"

The grunt growled. Ice giggled as Shedinja appeared behind Mae. It pushed the duo together making a squeak escape them as the rangers slipped in. It took them little time to find Heath once inside. He stood in the original room the Yellow Gem had been in and was staring at it. Sven gulped.

"Go ahead and look for Lavana. This is our stop." The other three nodded as they left the older rangers.

~_~

Lavana wasn't any harder. The hot headed female stood in the room Isaac was originally. Dijon looked at Ice.

"Be careful." Ice paused. He knew what he really meant. He prayed that Ice wouldn't hurt Crepe. He gripped Dijon's shoulder.

"If I can't hear the argument later, I'm turning around." Admiral tried hard to restrain herself as Dijon frowned.

"Go away Ice. I can do this."

"Not what I'm saying." Dijon glared at him.

"Don't you have something better to do than bothering me?" Admiral glanced at him.

"We got this. Go." Ice huffed.

"I want to hear the argument."

"No." Ice huffed before running off.

~_~

Crepe was at the entrance of the tower portion. He seemed down as he eyed the Blue Gem in his hand. Ice smiled softly.

"I'm here, Crepe. I'm here to set you free."

~_~

Sven was passed out as Heath went to him. Wendy couldn't move as she called out.

"S-s-s-" Heath paused his advance and turned to her. "S-s-steip... please..." Her voice went soft. "You don't want Ice to see you like this, do you?"

She grabbed him. His eyes flickered to their bright ones as he sat down. She slowly got onto her feet and made her way over to him. He slowly blinked as she knelt down next to him.

"You ok?" He nodded as life returned to his face.

"Yeah..." She smiled as she collapsed. He caught her before she hit the ground. "Oh Arceus I'm so-"

"It's ok, Heath..." Her voice appeared. "Listen to me..." She gulped as Sven stirred. "Make your way to the top and get the Yellow Gem back to the crystal. Can you do that to help us out?" Heath nodded as Sven slowly made his way over. He knelt down beside them as he hummed.

"Heath... you go... I'll..." Heath placed a hand on the ranger's shoulder, putting him at ease.

"I get it. Take care of yourselves." Sven smiled as Heath ran out. Sven shifted Wendy so that she was comfortably resting against him. She hummed.

"You think he'll make it?" Sven huffed.

"I don't think. I know." She smiled as she drifted off to sleep. He gulped as he relaxed.

~_~

Dijon collided with Lavana with a huge argument. Admiral was struggling to stay awake. Heath made his way to them and paused at the scene. He noticed Admiral and ran over to her while the duo flared up another round. She smiled at him.

"Heath..." He frowned as he glanced at her condition. Her arms were falling apart and were getting worse by the minute. He pulled her against a wall before looking at the duo.

"How..."

"... long have they been collided? All it took was Dijon to mutter a smart remark and that's all it took." Heath sighed as they watched them. Dijon finally had to sit down, in which Lavana helped him over to them. He smiled.

"Hey Heath." Heath smiled as Dijon sat down. Dijon sighed. "Sorry Admiral." She smiled.

"It's ok..." She looked up. "Wonder if Ice heard that..." The two admins blinked.

"Ice... is here?" She nodded.

"Went to go give Dijon's boyfriend a smack into reality." Dijon frowned.

"He's not my boyfriend."

"Not what it looks like for me." He growled faintly.

"Go back to your girlfriend." The brunette winced.

"I-" She growled. "Hey!" He chuckled faintly.

"So cute..." He sighed. "You guys go ahead and join the duo above us. We'll be ok." They nodded before running out. Admiral smiled.

"Good luck."

~_~

The plan was successful as ever. Starly started it by racing around the brunette, making him stop. Mime Jr. pulled him out of the way as Ice quickly went to capture the pokemon under his control and regain stability. Turtwig finished it by wrapping a vine around his wrist and nearing itself by the edge. That was what got him. He gripped the vine and trembled. Ice went over and touched his shoulders.

"Crepe...?" The brunette looked up. His eyes flashed as they met Ice's blue ones.

"I'm so sorry..." The two boys hugged each other as tears streamed down Crepe's face.

"It's ok..." He rubbed his back and paused. Crepe's eyes drifted to Ice's arm as he paused.

"You..." Ice hummed as he glanced at it. It was shaking violently as Shedinja brought his styler over.

"Yeah... those pokemon were jerks... don't put a Gardevoir and a Ramparidos together..." Shedinja clicked the styler onto his arm as it shuddered. "I'll get it properly checked later..." The sound of feet tore through the air.

"Ice! Crepe!" They turned to see Lavana and Heath running over. Crepe quivered as they got into a hug. They pulled apart and smiled. Ice hummed.

"You guys are ok..." Heath smiled.

"The rangers downstairs aren't. But we have to focus ahead of us. Come on. Let's go."

~_~

The quad made it up the tower to see Zara and Kincaid by the Dark Crystal. Crepe's eyes kept flickering, making Ice sideline him until he could control himself. His pokemon pulled him away from the battle as the other three gazed at the battle. Starly gave him the Blue Gem before returning to deal with Crepe. Ice gulped.

"I'll deal with them, you guys work on getting around. Understood?" The other two nodded as he stepped forward. He went over to the duo as they smiled at the crystal. "Hey!" They turned as a pause came from Kincaid.

"Ice... What are you doing here?" Ice raised an eyebrow. Was the message not sent up to this guy?

"I'm sorry, who are you?" The other two tried their best to not laugh at the confusion that followed. He wasn't wrong. He hardly remembered this guy. Nothing of the fragments that he was able to keep told him who this guy was. The taller male frowned. 

"Memories left you, huh?" He mumbled before he spoke up. "My name is Kincaid, former admin of Dim Sun and current leader of Team Debonairs. Who do you think you are?" Ice hummed. That name still didn't ring a bell.

"Name's Ice, 13th Top Ranger, Ghost and Shadow expert. I'm going to be the one that tears you down." He frowned. "Now step away from the crystal and no one gets hurt." Kincaid chuckled.

"Oh? So scary! I must run." Ice raised an eyebrow at that. Kincaid paused. "What? My reaction doesn't work for you?" Ice hummed.

"No... it's that I can make it better." He snapped his fingers, causing Gengar to appear from its hiding place. The duo jumped, getting a laugh out from Ice. "Now we're talking. Let's go!"

The other ghost types appeared at his side as they raced forward. The duo were able to start making their way around as he battled the duo. Kincaid was barely a threat while Zara was another story. She threw him out of the battle and almost off the side of the building while she encased the other two in a dark grasp. Ice got back up and froze.

"Look who has the advantage now. Right Spiritomb?" It shuddered as the duo winced in pain. Ice stared. "You were a Dim Sun member. You were just reverted back to your former side, throwing your memories of the team into a folder that would never be opened. But let's see what you remember when your fellow teammates are brutally destroyed."

She clenched her hand, causing the other two to cry out in pain. The sound made Ice's blood run cold. Yeah... game over. He lowered his head as he stood up and put his disc into his styler. It flashed as he growled. He looked up as his eyes flashed a cold blue. The flash made Zara stop briefly.

"It's one thing to show you're stronger, but it's another thing when you do something like that." Shedinja grabbed his arm. "Ready Shedinja?"

It nodded as he raced forward. In a matter of seconds he had freed the Spiritomb from her grasp, making it release the duo. Froslass froze Zara before she could try anything. Ice got to the duo.

"C'mon!" They got up and they ran over as the gems flashed and went up to the crystal, bringing back the bright light of the Luminous Crystal. Some Area Rangers came up and took the two masterminds away while the three former admins went to go find Crepe.

He was asleep in his original form, which brought relief to Ice. He was in an Area Ranger uniform that was badly damaged while his styler sat on his belt, almost destroyed. Ice picked him up as Mime Jr. paused.

"I never want to have to do that again..." Ice smiled at it.

"Hopefully you won't. Let's go."

~_~

They were able to get to the others with no problem. Admiral was grateful as Dijon had fallen asleep from the previous pain. The older Top Rangers were almost done for if they hadn't gotten there. They got themselves outside and to medics in no time. Crepe woke up as Ice sat down beside Dijon. The medic was finishing up with giving him some painkillers as Crepe blinked.

"Ice...?" Ice smiled at him.

"Hey Crepe. How are you feeling?" Crepe simply nodded before looking around.

"Where..." He saw Dijon and sat up. "Wait..."

"I'll tell you what happened. Just relax." Crepe nodded as he laid against Ice for support.

~_~

Crepe was shaking as Ice finished. Ice rubbed his back and smiled.

"It's ok... this isn't your fault. Someone forced you to do that. You're ok..." Crepe nodded as Dijon stirred. Crepe looked over as Dijon opened his eyes. He noticed the duo and a playful smile crossed his face.

"Crepe...?" Crepe smiled as he shakily went over.

"Hey..." He trembled. "How are you?"

"Better... It doesn't hurt like before..." Crepe smiled faintly as he touched his hand.

"I know... it'll be ok... I'll... see you in a little bit, ok?"

Dijon nodded as he drifted off. Ice looked around at the others. Admiral had a huge smile on her face while the other two were passed out. Wendy wasn't too badly hurt while Sven was the opposite. Heath sat beside Sven with a sad look on his face. Ice left Crepe and went over to him.

"Hey..." Heath nodded to him as he looked at Sven as he was treated. "It's not your fault."

"I know... but it was my hands that did it. Yeah... I wasn't really thinking, but it was my body throwing all the hits. I was the one doing all the damage." Ice touched his shoulder.

"But that's because someone told you. No one could've seen that coming. Don't smack yourself for someone else's dark desire. At least everyone made it." Heath nodded at that.
