Disclaimer: I'm afraid that my limited brain capacity would never allow me to produce such a wonderful concept as Harry Potter or the Power Rangers, nor would my finances allow me to buy them. Therefore, I regretfully state that I do not own Harry Potter, the Power Rangers, or any other characters that you may recognize. I'm not even sure if I own the plot.

Note: I'm assuming that you already know the basic story of Harry Potter from books 1 through 5, as well as general information about the Power Rangers (covering all seasons). If you want further explanations about anything, please let me know in a review, and I'll email you back.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Use the Power, Part One

The Power Chamber, just outside of Angel Grove, California, U.S.A. — 4:00 p.m.:

"Adam!" Harry screamed, dashing forward, but he was too late. The Dark Lord and his victim were gone. "No!"

For a moment, the teens stared blankly at the spot where the pair had just been. Then, Tommy motioned to the team. "Come on, guys!" he said urgently. "We've got to track Adam down! He looked to be pretty badly hurt!"

"Cruciatus," Harry stated grimly.

Kat frowned. "What?"

"I'm pretty sure Voldemort put him under the Cruciatus Curse; that's why he was trembling so badly."

"His forehead was bleeding," Rocky added.

"It's my scar. It hurts whenever Voldemort is near, and it bleeds sometimes. I can't believe this! I should never have stayed," Harry mumbled.

"Hey, don't talk like that," Tommy chided. "Adam knew what he was getting into. Now come on; the faster we find him, the better!"

"Can we track him?" Kat inquired as they ran back into the Power Chamber.

"We can track the green Zeo power," Billy answered her from where he was already hard at work. "Harry, how did they leave? Did you recognize it?"

"It wasn't apparation," Harry recalled thoughtfully. "It might have been a Portkey. Why?"

"I'm trying to trace the energy signature, but sometimes blocking me. The destination must have some pretty strong shields."

"I wish there was some way to block the mind link," Harry mused. "At least then it wouldn't hurt so much to be around Voldemort."

"Harry," Zordon spoke up, "I believe if Adam were to morph, the green Zeo power would be able to block the mind link to an extent."

"That would be great!" Harry agreed. "That way it will block Legilimency too!"

"But how are we going to tell Adam that from here?" Tanya asked.

"We could call his communicator," Rocky suggested. "Even if someone confiscates or destroys it right afterward, we'd be able to get the message through."

"But if Adam loses his communicator, he won't be able to teleport," Tommy countered.

"Hey, that's a good point!" Tanya exclaimed. "Adam can just teleport out from wherever he is."

"Would he do that in front of other people?" Rocky wondered.

"Well, we teleported in already, so it's not like Voldemort hasn't see it," Harry pointed out. "He probably thought we came by some special form of apparation…he wouldn't be able to block teleportation, right?"

"Not unless he takes Adam's communicator," Tommy replied. "And even then, we should be able to get him out from here, once we find him. Billy, how's it going?"

"I've got a vague fix…he's somewhere in this area," Billy announced. "I think the amount of magic around the place is messing up the sensors." Suddenly, a light flashed on the console. "Yes!"

"You found him?" Kat queried eagerly.

"He morphed!" Billy told them. "I've got a lock on his position. I'll set the coordinates."

"Let's go, guys," Tommy yelled. "It's morphin' time!"

Unknown location, Angel Grove, California, U.S.A. — 4:00 p.m.:

Adam crumpled to the floor, his head whirling from the Portkey, his nerves still on fire from the Cruciatus Curse. Struggling to stay focused, he quickly scanned the room. They had arrived in what looked like an abandoned warehouse. Remnants of meals, bedding, and papers showed that it was being used as a temporary headquarters.

Meanwhile, Voldemort stood in front of him and surveyed his captive with smug delight. "Finally, Potter, you are at my mercy!" Using his wand, he forced Adam to his feet and made eye contact with him.

To Adam, it felt like something was probing at his mind. He immediately remembered Harry's explanation of Legilimency and Rocky's description of his interrogation. Although he had no idea how to defend himself, he recalled the lessons in meditation that he had taken for martial arts and used the concept to calm himself and organize his thoughts.

An image of the Power Chamber flashed before his eyes, but he quickly pushed it away, replacing it with a memory of the park. Then, he saw Grimmauld Place and again buried the image, substituting one of the school. For what seemed like hours, the mental war continued, Voldemort attempting to pull out information, and Adam forcing his attention elsewhere.

Finally, the Dark Lord dropped Adam with a growl of frustration. "You're worthless to me, Potter," he snarled. "Avada Kedavra!"

Exhausted from his efforts at blocking Legilimency, Adam knew he would not be able to dodge in time, so he did the only thing he could think of — he morphed.
