"The Rangers face Malkor's trump card, a portal-based monster who separates Gia and Noah from the others."
Sanctuary
Power Rangers: Megaforce REDO – dubbed Starforce
Season 1, Episode 12: Trapped
The Land Below
October 13, 2015
Malkor turned around as a big and strongly-built monster entered the room. He scoffed, "Took you long enough."
"My apologies," the monster apologized before bowing. "I, Field Commander Goliath, am at your service."
"Thank you coming on such short notice," Malkor said. "I know how busy you are trying to infiltrate the Land Beyond."
"That's alright, sir," Goliath replied. "What can I do for you?"
"I have a pest problem," Malkor said, and Goliath immediately stood up, alarmed.
"In the Land Between?" Goliath asked. "Who dares to oppose you?"
"The Starforce Power Rangers," Vrak revealed himself to be listening. "They are quite troublesome."
Malkor scoffed, "Vrak and Creepox have both been incredibly useless against them. Creepox is down in the dungeon, and one more failure from Vrak will see him sent there as well." Vrak hung his head in shame.
Goliath started laughing, "What a fine mess you seem to have yourself in."
"Will you get rid of those Rangers or not?" Vrak asked him.
"Of course, I will," Goliath boasted. "And when I do, I will take my rightful place as the Admiral's right hand man." He turned back to Malkor. "Correct?"
Malkor simply laughed, "You've never been one to not aim for the stars, have you?"
Vrak could only watch as Goliath started laughing maniacally.

Harwood County High School, Harwood County, Oregon
Noah and Gia stayed behind as they watched their classmates leave at the final bell without them. Troy, Jake, and Emma wanted to stay, but the other two simply motioned for them to go on ahead to the training area without them. If it was anything serious, those three would be the first people to know.
The two Rangers stood in front of Mr. Burley's desk in the midst of an empty classroom. "You wanted to see us after school, Mr. Burley?" Noah asked.
"Yes, I did," the man explained. "Yesterday, we teachers had a meeting about all the students struggling in each and every one of our classes. Collectively, we all agreed to have the two highest-graded students in our classes tutor the ones unable to keep up. Noah Carver and Gia Moran, you two are the students that I myself have chosen."
"What? Us?" Noah asked.
"What's the catch?" Gia asked.
"No catch at all," Mr. Burley assured her. "We, as teachers, just want all of our students to succeed."
Noah and Gia both looked at each other, thinking the same thing: how well would their tutoring go when they had secret Ranger duties to perform?
"Um, can we get back to you on that?" Noah asked. "We need some time to think about it."
"Of course, of course!" Mr. Burley said. "I'll give you two until Friday to answer."
"Thank you, sir!" Noah said, as he and Gia left the room.

City Square, Harwood County, Oregon
"So, that wasn't so bad," Noah commented, as he and Gia walked out of the school and to their secret training area, where the other three were waiting for them. "Was it?"
"Not bad at all," Gia replied. "I was expecting something much worse." She paused as the duo continued to walk down the sidewalk. "I'm thinking about taking up the offer."
"What?" He was caught off-guard by her answer. "Why? Won't it clash with your Ranger duties?"
"It's just something that I feel I have to do," came her vague answer. To be honest, it kind of peeved him off.
Which probably was the main factor attributing to the following, "Does it have anything with being Miss Perfect?"
"Excuse me?!" To be honest, Noah wasn't aware of the damage he had done, the insult he had just made to her face, until it was too late. By that time, there was no use pretending like it didn't happen, and he didn't know how to apologize to something like Gia. She continued, "What is that supposed to mean?"
"I means that I don't think you're as perfect as everyone says you are!"
"You don't understand me, Noah," her voice was unbeleivably cold, and it snapped him back to reality, "and I highly doubt you ever will."
Noah was about to reply to that, when a shockwave nearby almost knocked them off their feet.
The two couldn't beleive what was happening next. The building in front of them was sinking into the ground.
"What's happening?" Gia asked.
"I don't know!" Noah replied. "The building just disappeared."
Their Morphers suddenly went off, and both of them picked up. "Yes, Tensou?" Noah asked.
"Warstar monster very near you!" Tensou told them. "The others are on their way!"
"Thanks, Tensou!" Gia said, before she and Noah hung. They then continued to look around, trying to see where this monster was hidden. After a while, she exclaimed, "Found him!"
"What?"
"He's up there!" she pointed to the roof of a nearby office building, and he was caught off-guard when she ran ahead.
"Hey! Wait for me!" he called, before quickly following her.
~S~A~N~C~T~U~A~R~Y~~~P~O~W~E~R~~R~A~N~G~E~R~S~~S~T~A~R~F~O~R~C~E~~~M~E~G~A~F~O~R~C~E~~R~E~D~O~
Goliath was in the middle of disappearing another building when the Yellow Ranger (fully morphed) ran out of the door from the stairs inside.
"Found you, Warstar!" Gia exclaimed, her Tiger Claw firmly in hand.
"I assume you're one of those Ranger pests Malkor and Vrak were talking about?" the monster asked.
"That's right!" Gia said, before lowering into a battle stance. "Get ready for a beatdown!"
The monster scoffed, "Who do you think I am? I am Field Commander Goliath, and I am just as tough as my name suggests!"
"I don't care who you are!" Gia yelled back. "This realm is not your playground!"
"Wait!" Noah suddenly called out to her, as he (fully morphed) jumped onto the roof from over the railing. "Don't get too close to him!"
Gia stopped running and turned back to look at him, only for Goliath to scoff, "Keep your eyes on your opponent!" He shot beams from his eyes at her, forcing her to stumble to the ground.
"Gia!" Noah cried, before running to her side. "I told you to keep your distance from him!" He leaned down, grabbed her arm, and forced her to stand up. "Why didn't you listen to me?"
"Excuse you! That was your fault!" Gia roared back. "If you hadn't distracted me, I wouldn't have gotten hit!"
"Stop being so hotheaded and listen to me!" Noah grabbed her by the shoulders. "This one's not like any other enemy we've faced before! We have to be smart about this!"
Gia immediately shrugged his hands off of her, "There's no way I'm following your advice after your little insult!"
Goliath was simply standing there, watching the two argue. "I can't bring myself to beleive that you are the pests that Admiral Malkor wants eliminated." He raised his arm, and struck the ground, gaining the duo's attention, "Besides, there's no way that brains can ever outdo brawn."
As the same orange light before surrounded the two Rangers, Noah immediately Gia pushed out of the way.
"Noah!" Gia cried out, getting back to her feet just in time to see Noah sinking into the ground, into the portal beneath him.
"Stay back!" Noah called out to her. "Or you'll be trapped too!"
"But I can't just leave you!" she said.
Noah was surprised when Gia suddenly grabbed his arm, and he immediately asked her, "What are you doing?!"
"Give me your other hand, Noah!" Gia cried, as she was pulled into the portal alongside her friend.
Goliath laughed as the portal closed behind them, "That was way too easy. I can't understand why the Admiral wants them gone so much."
"Warstar!" Goliath heard another voice called out, and he turned to see the Red and Pink Rangers jump over the railing.
"And there's the rest of them," Goliath commented.
"What'd you do to Noah and Gia?!" the Black Ranger asked from behind him, holding his Snake Axe.
"You pests really want to know so badly? Fine, I'll tell you," Goliath explained. "They've been sent to another dimension, one that I myself created for my enemies. There, they will spend the rest of their days, until there's nothing left."
"How dare you?!" Jake demanded.
"Give up, Rangers," the monster said. "Your friends are gone forever!"
"Like hell they are!" Jake cried out, before charging into the fight.
"Jake, calm down!" Troy said, before running forward to stop his teammate. "Anger is what he wants!"
Jake swung his Axe, but Goliath easily blocked it with his arm, the same one he used to open the portal for Noah and Gia.
"Weakling!" Goliath threw Jake up in the air, before slashing him, causing Jake to go flying into the concrete wall behind him.
The force made Jake disengage his morph, and he fell to the ground, as rubble crashed all around him.
Troy and Emma, still morphed, both knelt beside him. "Jake, wake up!" Emma tried to shake him back to reality, to alertness, but he was unresponsive.
"It's no use, Emma," Troy told her. "We have to retreat."
"Go ahead and run if you can, Rangers," Goliath told them. "But you can't hide from me. Eventually, all your hiding spots will have disappeared. Now, shall I send you three to see your friends again?"
"Now, Emma!" Troy called, before he used his Blaster to shoot at the ground Goliath was standing on, causing sparks and smoke to conceal his vision.
"Windrive: Shine Down!" Emma called, activating the said card.
"SPLASH!"
When the smoke cleared, Goliath immediately saw that the three remaining Rangers were gone, nowhere in sight.
He simply scoffed, unfazed at this, "They'll be back."

Star Cave, Harwood County, Oregon
It hadn't even been a full five minutes after the trio had retreated to the base when Tensou frantically cried out, "He's continuing his attacks! There's no way we can stop him!"
Emma finished bandaging Jake, just as he opened his eyes, "Jake, you alright?"
"I'm fine. Let's just go!" he waved her off, before standing on his feet, only to fall back down to the ground.
"Take it easy, Jake!" Emma pleaded with her step-brother.
"I can't!" he cried. "We have to save Noah and Gia!"
"But we can't," Troy calmly cut in. "While we stay here, the Land Between is getting destroyed. Our first duty is always to protect the innocent."
"Are you saying that we should abandon them?" Jake asked.
"Not at all," Troy calmly countered. "But as Power Rangers, there's one duty that comes before anything else, no matter the cost. And that is protecting the Earth."
Emma cut in, cheerfully offering, "Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to get themselves out. They are smarter than the three of us combined."
Jake found himself gently smiling at her, "Right."
"Until they do, we need a way to stop Goliath in his tracks," Troy said.

The Abyss, The Land Below
Gia woke up to Noah gently shaking her, "Gia, Gia, wake up!" When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see nothing but while for miles and miles on end, from side to side, and even from the sky above to the land below them.
"W-What happened?" she asked, as she sat up (she also noticed that both she and Noah had de-morphed). "Where are we?"
"We're in some kind of alternate dimension," Noah replied, before watching her stand up and start running in a random direction. "Don't bother looking for an exit. There is none, and trust me, I looked everywhere." He stood up from his kneeling position and walked over to where she stopped. "We need to save our energy and formulate a plan."
"No."
This surprised him, "What?"
She turned around to face him, "We'll find an exit if we just sit here. If there's no way out, then we'll make one!"
She summoned her Blaster was about to fire in front of her, but Noah grabbed her wrist, effectively stopping her.
"What do you want?!" she growled out.
"There are times where brute force isn't necessary," Noah told her. His voice was calm, but inside, he just want to argue back. "I thought your high grades, alongside mine, implied that you already knew that. I guess you're not as smart as your grades say you are."
Gia turned her back to him, "I told you already, Carver, that you don't understand me. You and I are different, and as long as you accept that, then we can be friends."
For some reason, this caused Noah to snap back to reality, just like before. "Of course, we're all different," he said, but this time his voice was soft. "Troy's the new kid, Emma's the popular girl, Jake's the jock, I'm the nerd, and you're..."
"The outcast," Gia quietly cut in, and her answer surprised him.
Noah shook his head to clear it, "You're right, Gia. I don't understand you, but then again, there's no way any of us will fully understand each other, because we all come from different cliques. Unless..."
"Unless?" Gia gently urged him to keep going.
"Unless we all sit down and really talk to each other," Noah said, before sitting on the ground, criss-cross style. "So, please join me, Gia, and let's really get to know each other."
Gia let slip a small smile, "Alright." She sat down opposite him, her position mirroring his. "I'll go first." She took a deep breath and began, "I never knew my real parents, or why they gave me up. All I've known is the foster care system, until three years ago, when I was adopted by the Morans. I'm happy with them, I really am, but I always feel the need to make sure they don't abandon me like my real parents did. That's why I got the nickname 'Miss Perfect', and that's also why I want to take up Mr. Burley's tutoring job. To make sure no one else is considered a failure."
Noah was quiet as he digested all of that, because he did make perfect sense.
When he finally shared his story, Gia was listening intently, just like he was to her, "My childhood was never as rough as yours. My parents were both doctors, both in the military and as civilians. But one day, they got shipped out overseas, and their hospital got blown up, and neither Nana nor I ever saw them again. From then on, my grandma raised me to be pacifistic. That's why I dislike brute force and I use my brain more often than not. I'm sorry, Gia. I didn't mean to insult you."
"I forgive you," she smiled at him, "and I'm sorry too. I think I crossed a line I shouldn't have. But, you know...brute force isn't always a bad thing. My powers always feel stronger whenever I punch a monster."
"And mine always feel stronger whenever we have a plan," Noah added, trailing off as he realized something. "And you know, us being different is not a bad thing. In fact, it's our greatest weapon and the best form of teamwork that we have. Troy and Emma are the strongest in heart, you and Jake the strongest in body, and I myself am the strongest in mind, and even then, Troy and Emma are different in that regard, and so are you and Jake. But all three together form a trifecta that works best when they're different and allowed to do their own thing."
"I agree," Gia said. "So what are you saying?"
"I'm saying that you should try to get out of here using brute force," Noah answered. "Your efforts may help me discover something."
Gia's smile went from gentle to determined. She and Noah stood up at the same time, and she took out her Blaster again.
She fired all around them, and her first two shots hit something.
"A wall?" Gia asked.
"It seems like this isn't an endless dimension, after all," Noah commented, before his mind went to work. "So...we're in a box?"
Gia continued to fire her Blaster, and after the fifth shot, Noah interrupted her in the middle of her seventh.
"Gia, wait!" She obeyed and turned around to face him.
"What's up?"
Noah pointed to their right, "Keep firing at that wall. I think I saw something."
~S~A~N~C~T~U~A~R~Y~~~P~O~W~E~R~~R~A~N~G~E~R~S~~S~T~A~R~F~O~R~C~E~~~M~E~G~A~F~O~R~C~E~~R~E~D~O~
City Square, Harwood County, Oregon
Goliath laughed after he sunk five more buildings, "Looks like those Ranger pests have given up!"
"Guess again!" came the Black Ranger's voice, and the monster turned to see him and the other two Sky Rangers full morphed and ready to fight.
"You Rangers seem like gluttons for punishment," Goliath commented. "Give up. You cannot win."
Troy whispered to his two remaining teammates, "Remember, keep your distance and avoid melee and close range attacks at all costs."
"Right," Jake and Emma replied, Emma even giving a thumbs up.
The three then took out their Blasters and leapt into the battle. The trio surrounded their opponent and hooked up their respective Headders to their Blasters.
"Dragon Star: Set!"
"Phoenix Star: Set!"
"Snake Star: Set!"
"Full Blast!"
But Goliath blocked all three shots without breaking a sweat. "Yawn," he spoke aloud. "Keeping your distance won't do you pests any good either, but I do commend you on finally using your heads."
The trio fired again, only for all three shots to miss as he disappeared via an orange energy swirl.
"What?" Jake asked.
"Huh?" Emma exclaimed.
"Where'd he go?" Troy asked, mostly to himself. Just then, Goliath exited from a portal high above him, and behind him, and struck him down the chest.
Troy fell to the ground, injured, and Jake and Emma both called his name.
Goliath then appeared via a portal and struck down Jake next, before going after Emma.
After the monster disappeared, Troy limped over to his two teammates and helped Emma to her knees, all of them still holding their Blasters.
"Be careful," Troy warned.
Just then, Goliath appeared in front of them and struck all three across the chest. The trio was engulfed into the explosion that resulted, forcing them to de-morph and fall to the ground hard.
~S~A~N~C~T~U~A~R~Y~~~P~O~W~E~R~~R~A~N~G~E~R~S~~S~T~A~R~F~O~R~C~E~~~M~E~G~A~F~O~R~C~E~~R~E~D~O~
The Abyss, The Land Below
"I knew it," Noah said after Gia shot at the same wall, in the same spot, ten more times. "When you shoot at the wall, it creates a shockwave. The waves highlight what looks like a portal. It must be where we fell from."
"We'll need to work together to find a way out," Gia said, moving back to stand next to him.
"We've been working together this entire time," Noah told her. "I have an idea."
"So do I. I bet it's the same one," Gia smiled, before holding up her Morpher.
Noah returned the smile, holding his up at the same time, "Let's do this."
"Starforce, Shine Down!"
Once the two were full morphed, the two stood side by side, and Noah pulled out a Power Card, "Remember to be ready to fight. The others may need our help."
"I'm always ready!"
"Presshower: Shine Down!"
"SPLASH!"
A blue stream of water went straight towards the anomaly that they had found together. After a fair amount of pressure, the two saw the portal start to shine bright orange.
"It's working!" Gia said.
"Yeah, now go, Gia!" Noah told her.
Gia jumped up and landed in the whirlwind of water that Noah was producing, and the mini-hurricane brought her closer and closer to the portal's reach.
~S~A~N~C~T~U~A~R~Y~~~P~O~W~E~R~~R~A~N~G~E~R~S~~S~T~A~R~F~O~R~C~E~~~M~E~G~A~F~O~R~C~E~~R~E~D~O~
City Square, Harwood County, Oregon
Goliath engulfed the three injured, defenseless Rangers in another explosion, sending them flying back even further.
Troy managed to look up in time to see Goliath slowly walking towards them, "Is that really all you've got, Rangers? I expected more of a challenge from you."
He then raised his sword arm and was about to strike down Troy, only for something orange to glow behind him, before turning a bright blue.
Goliath turned around in shock, "What?! What's going on?!"
Suddenly, out of the water emerged Noah and Gia, both of them fully-morphed and ready to fight. The two landed perfectly beside the others, before they both turned around and sent Goliath flying with a double punch.
Emma immediately smiled at them when the two turned back around to their teammates, "We knew you guys would find a way out."
"Sorry for taking so long," Noah apologized.
"Don't worry. We'll take it from here," Gia assured them, before she and Noah both stood up straight. "Tiger Claw: Shine Down!"
"SUMMON BATTLE GEAR"
"You will pay dearly for this!" Goliath growled.
"That's my line, jerk," Gia shot back, before holding her Claw in a battle position.
Noah placed a hand on her shoulder, "Sorry, Gia, but I can't let you fight him by yourself. We stick together."
"Fine..."
"Watch out, guys!" Jake cried out to them. "He can teleport!"
"Understood," Noah replied, before holding up his weapon, "Shark Bowgun!"
Noah's two shots, however, were wasted when the monster teleported away.
"Where'd he go?" Gia asked.
"Behind you!" Troy called out.
Fortunately, Gia turned around just in time to block Goliath's attack with her Tiger Claw. Noah fired at him again, but Goliath teleported once more to avoid to attack.
Noah helped Gia back to her knees, as they heard Goliath's disembodied laugh sound all around them.
"I told you before. You Rangers are no match for me. You can't even touch me!"
However, Noah turned to Gia, trusting that she knew what to do. She met his gaze, despite their helmets and nodded.
The duo immediately stood up, simultaenously, standing back to back.
"Huh?" Jake asked, he and the other two watching.
"What are they doing?" Emma asked.
"Working together," Troy replied.
"You think stand back to back will eliminate your blind spots," came the monster's voice from all around them. "But that won't work either."
"You understand, don't you, Gia?" Noah asked, but it was more of a statement than a question.
"Of course I do," she replied. "Standing back to back eliminates all blind spots except for one..."
"And that's..." Noah said.
"Above us!" They both said at the same time, just as Goliath emerged from a portal in that very spot.
"Take this!"
"Shark Bowgun!"
But he was caught off-guard by Noah's repeated shots. As he remained in the air, Gia leapt into the air, before lunging down from the air, striking Goliath from behind.
"Tiger Claw!"
Goliath was engulfed in an explosion, as Gia landed beside Noah.
The Blue Ranger turned to the Yellow and held out his fist, "Earth's Defenders?"
"Never Surrender," she finished by bumping their wrists together. "Sometimes, brain is indeed better than brawn."
"But both work better together," Noah added.
"Wow, that was awesome!" Emma cheered, she and the other two back on their feet.
Gia sent her a thumbs up just as a severly injured Goliath landed beside them.
"Let's go!" Noah told the other three.
"Right! Starforce, Shine Down!"
Once the other three were morphed, the five immediately put their weapons together, "Weapons Combine!" The five Rangers proceeded to combine their respective weapons into their giant crossbow-like weapon. "Starforce Blaster! Energize!" With this, the Blaster charged up, before they fired it together. "Dynamic Victory Charge!"
But Goliath was still standing after all of that. "I will not fall to you Ranger pests! I will be Malkor's right hand man!" He then slashed at all five of them.
The Rangers were all sent flying, the Starforce Blaster now broken.
"Man, this guy just won't die!" Jake groaned.
"We can't give up now," Troy urged. "He's so close to death." This was proven by red lightning sparking from Goliath's body, a sure sign that he was indeed almost dead.
Gia turned to Noah, "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Of course I am," Noah said, before turning to the others, "Troy, summon the Sky Brothers!"
"Okay!" Troy stood and inserted the mentioned Card into his Morpher, "Sky Brothers!"
"Land Brothers!" Gia called.
"Sea Brothers!" Noah said.
"Shine Down!"
All nine Headders flew out together and collectively hit Goliath all at once. He stumbled just long enough for the Rangers to prepare their final attack.
"Sawkshark Star: Set!" Noah called.
"Hawk Star: Set!" Troy called.
"Crow Star: Set!" Emma called.
"Beetle Star: Set!" Jake called.
"Rhino Star: Set!" Gia called.
All five took their positions, "TriStar Combination: Final Strike!"
The combined blasts finally destroyed Goliath after a tough fight.
But then the Zombats came flying in, and their opponent grew into his second life.
"Time for another beatdown!" Gia said, the five taking out their Power Cards.
Noah used his Morpher to call someone, "Tensou, we could use your help here!"
"On my way!" Tensou replied.
"Mechazords, Shine Down!"
"Summon Zords!"
After the Rangers all leapt into their mechazords, Troy told his team, "Let's do this!" before holding up his copy of a certain Power Card.
"Zords Combine!"
"Summon Megazord!"
Jake and Gia connected first, forming the legs. Troy followed up, forming the torso. Noah and Emma were last with the arms. The head was formed last.
"Gosei Great Megazord! Ready!"
Tensou suddenly grew the Megazord's size, holding his Hyper Headder, before announcing, "Activate Hyper Data Megazord!"
He gained gloves and new boots, and the Headder became his new face.
"Don't let you guards down, guys," Noah and Gia both said simultaneously. The other three looked at them strange, until it continued, "Let's go!" And all five faced forward.
"No matter what you Rangers do, it's hopeless," Goliath told them. "So, give up now while you still can."
He then used his sword arm to send a burst of dark energy at them, but the two charged forward, right on through it.
Tensou sent a punch at Goliath, only for the monster to easily block it. Tensou charged up for another, only for it fail to land due to another case of teleportation.
"You Rangers cannot defeat me," Goliath said as he appeared between the two Megazords. He then struck Tensou in the back before turning to face the main Megazord. "I shall be victorious!"
"Hyper Uppercut!" the mentioned punch from Tensou immediately sent Goliath flying back.
When the monster got back to his feet, he found Tensou right back in his face, sending punches at him repeatedly and everywhere. The first two connected, but Goliath managed to block the rest.
"Tensou, move!" Noah said.
When he did, the Megazord released the Headders, "Unleash the Zords!"
The five Headders flew around the monster, before eventually breaking his sword arm.
"Now, Emma!" Gia said, hers and Noah's plan working perfectly. "Summon the Mystic Brothers!"
"Right!" Emma said, before placing the said Card within her Morpher, "Mystic Brothers: Shine Down!"
The green Ostrich Zord came out of the Card and it immediately ran towards Goliath, before shooting green lightning at him.
Goliath stumbled back, and that was the Rangers' cue to combine, "Activate Mystic Star Megazord!"
The Ostrich reformed itself before attaching to the left shoulder of the Megazord, where Emma's Pheonix was.
"Now for the finisher!" Noah said.
"On behalf of The Land Beyond, your sentence is destruction!"
"Mystic Strike!"
Power Cards swirled all around Tensou. "Data Dynamic Crush!"
All the Cards hit Goliath dead on, while Ostrich's egg broke into two pieces and both hit him repeatedly, as both attacks combined to defeat him for good.
The Rangers cheered as Tensou pointed out all of the disappeared buildings returning to their original places.
"We did it!" Gia turned to Noah. "Nice one."
"You too," Noah returned the gesture.

"Welcome back, Noah and Gia," Gosei greeted the Rangers as the five of them entered the base, with Tensou not far behind them.
"Indeed!" Tensou said. "We were so worried."
The two Rangers that had been trapped both shot Tensou a comforting smile, "Don't worry," Noah said. "We're fine now."
"The place we were trapped in," Gia commented, "felt rather scary and strange, to be honest. I'm glad to be back."
"Scary and strange how?" Gosei asked her.
"The dimension we were in..." Gia explained, "the atmosphere felt different there than it does here."
"I noticed the same thing," Noah backed her up. "The air felt stale and dark there, as compared to here, where it feels a lot cleaner and brighter."
Tensou pressed a few buttons on a console, "I see. According to our data, you two were in a place where no living human has ever been able to set foot in and survive to tell the tale."
"Where?" Jake asked.
"The Land Below."
The air was immediately filled with shock and tension at the revelation.
Tensou continued, "Granted, it was actually a pocket dimension there, but it was designed to eventually expose you two to the real Land Below."
"Wait!" Emma suddenly said. "Maybe that's how Raquel is still alive!"
"A pocket dimension?" Noah asked, and Emma nodded. "That does make sense."
"It's worth a shot," Gosei cut in.
Tensou ran up to Noah and Gia, "Tell me how you two escaped! It may help us save Raquel!"
