Meanwhile in one of the larger sections of the warehouse, Dillon ran to get Tenaya to follow him. When he came to a dead end of crates and scrap metal he was forced to come to a halt. He looked all around himself but he didn't see Tenaya anywhere.
"She's gotta be here somewhere." He said softly to himself.
All of a sudden he heard whistling. Someone was whistling the 'Farmer in the Dell' tune and he knew that that someone was Tenaya. She was nearby and preparing to make her strike.
"Great, again with the whistling. The girl needs a new hobby." He said still looking all around him.
He turned his back to look some more. "Where are you?" he spoke lowly.
Suddenly the whistling stopped and he heard her voice right behind him. "Right here." She hissed. Before Dillon could turn around to fight her, he felt her jab something sharp into his back, it felt like fingernails pressing into him. But it wasn't—it was her new weapon. The pain he felt in his back made him gasp loudly. He wasn't aware that he could really even feel pain-- at least not like this. If felt like his whole system was shutting off. He fell forward onto the floor crying out. She had him pinned and he couldn't move.
"Thought you could outsmart me, Black Ranger? Think again." She sneered while she still pressed the weapon into his back.
Dillon saw everything around him going black. He couldn't move or stand all he could do was lay there. His ranger powers left him in a flash he tried to move his Morpher up to his mouth to call the others for help, but Tenaya grabbed his wrist to stop him.
"What're you doing to me?" he asked weakly.
"Stop fighting it, Ranger Black." She said evilly to him, ignoring his question completely. "You don't stand a chance."
"I'll make you pay for this…I swear." He told her in a pained voice.
"I look forward to seeing you try." She replied with a smirk.
Dillon felt he couldn't hang on any longer. It felt like she was draining the life out of him, and as far as he knew, she could have been. After a few more seconds his body went limp and Tenaya felt his struggling cease. She didn't noticed something falling out of his pocket.
"Nighty night." She said coldly in his ear. She stood and dusted herself off and afterwards she extended her hand to teleport Dillon where she wanted him to be—Venjix's lair.
She chuckled at her handy work. "Now for the Green one…" she said as she strode out of the warehouse proudly.
Scott, Flynn, Summer and Ziggy all surrounded General Shifter with their weapons drawn. Their Street Saber, Turbo Cannon, Zip Charger, and Turbo Axe were all ready for fire. The four backed up in preparation to fire.
Tenaya exited the warehouse and saw what the rangers had up their sleeves. But her mission wasn't completed yet, and she wasn't going to stop until it was.
"Hit me with your best shot!" Shifter taunted to the rangers. "I DARE you!"
"You're surrounded, Shifter! You can't run, you may as well surrender!" Scott said as he aimed his large blade at the fiend.
"Bring it!" Shifter said trying to egg him on.
"Rangers, prepare for fire in three…two…" Scott instructed them.
Tenaya noticed how focused the rangers were on General Shifter at the moment, so she thought she'd use this opportunity to capture her next target. She crept up behind Ziggy and grabbed him tightly.
"Whoa! Not you again! Back off!" Ziggy shouted in her face.
"You're coming with me!" She informed him, teleporting him and herself away from the battle.
"One!" Scott yelled, not noticing that one of his teammates was swiped. Due to the far distance apart they were, it was easy to miss. Summer and Flynn did as they were told and fired their weapons on Scott's call. Like before, General Shifter managed to evade the attack.
"See? Useless!" Shifter snapped at them with a taunting laugh.
"What?!" Summer cried in surprise.
"That should have ended him!" Flynn explained as he lowered his large cannon.
"I know!" Scott replied. "Our weapons with Ziggy's axe should have…" Scott trailed off; finally realizing that another one of his teammates was gone. "Where's Green?" he asked them.
"Huh? He was just here!" Summer said looking to where Ziggy was just moments ago.
"He couldn't have just vanished…could he?" Flynn said confusedly tapping his finger against his helmet.
Scott ran ahead of Flynn and Summer. "What did you do with Green, Shifter?" he yelled.
"Why don't you ask Tenaya?" Shifter answered coldly with a chuckle.
"Tenaya?" Summer asked, joining Scott's side. "What're you talking about? Black is dealing with her right now!"
"Think again, weaklings." General Shifter laughed. He turned to walk away, "My work here is done! See ya, Power Losers!" with that, he leapt into a portal that had appeared, and teleported away.
"Hey, get back here!" Scott demanded. But his words were useless; Rangers Green and Black, along with General Shifter and Tenaya were long gone.
"Great! Now Shifter, Tenaya and Ziggy are gone and we have no idea where they are!" Flynn angrily.
"Maybe Dillon knows where she plans to take him." Summer said, pulling out her Morpher and opening it. "Dillon? Dillon, come in. It's Summer." After a few moments of getting only dead air as a response, she began to grow worried. "Dillon?" she asked again, but still got nothing.
"Great." Scott sighed, throwing his head back.
"Wait, didn't we see him run into one of the warehouse sections after he helped us?" Flynn asked.
That was all Summer needed to hear. "Let's check it out!" she instructed her Red and Blue teammates. She ran off to the scene with them following close behind her.
The three rangers all ran into the same warehouse that they had seen Dillon run into. When they arrived there, they were surprised to find it empty.
"Dillon? Are you here?!" she yelled out. When she didn't get an answer still, she turned to Scott. "What do we do?"
"Find them is what we do." Scott answered.
"What's that?" Summer asked, pointing to the ground. She spotted a small, silver object on the ground. "Guys, look at this!"
to better observe the object, the three rangers all retracted their helmets. When they saw what Summer was holding in her hand, they knew something bad had happened.
The object she held was Dillon's pocket watch.
"Okay, that can't be good." Flynn surmised. "Dillon never let's that thing out of his sight."
"I'll bet he's wherever Ziggy and Tenaya are. Let's report back to Doctor K. and she what she thinks about all of this." Scott told them. Summer and Flynn nodded in agreement. When Scott and Flynn ran ahead she stayed behind for a moment looking at the watch. She held it close to her chest for a moment, and then ran after the others.
