A few weeks after I'd told the others the truth, Koragg again attacked us.
The others all went into Legend Warrior Mode—I didn't think I had that power, so I remained in normal Ranger mode.
As we fought, Imperious and some freaky monster thing—the Chimera—arrived and ordered that we be sent to the Underworld.
As soon as we landed, I sprang to my feet and Imperious greeted us, "Welcome Rangers. Welcome to my humble home. Had I known I'd be expecting company I would have cleaned up."
I glared at him and demanded, "What? No duct tape and black body bags?"
"Years of being kidnapped repeatedly," I muttered—just barely loud enough for the other Rangers to hear.
Some of the Hidiacs and Styxoids attacked us and we fought back.
When Imperious paralyzed us—I kept trying to struggle and free myself. I glared daggers at him.
We were all strapped to some rock-like shackles that held us tightly as the others' Legend Warrior powers were taken from them and I lost my morphing powers. I held back my tears—it did hurt a lot and I reminded myself of what Jeb had taught me—Pain is merely a message. You can ignore the message. I would hold all calls until we were free. The others screamed in pain and I clenched my jaw, holding all my screams in. Imperious looked impressed at my tight face and asked, "How can you not scream in pain?"
I growled, "Pain is merely a message. You can ignore the message."
Imperious rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah right."
I glared at him and clenched my jaw tighter, desperately trying to come up with a plan.
