Chapter Five

Sorona felt a shiver run through her as she sat in the Machine Skybase's cold, damp prison. She closed her eyes and felt the sudden presence of the Frog, Ape, Bear, Wolf, and Falcon.
They rediscovered their powers. They must have to go into battle. I wish I could help them, but instead I'm stuck in this damned prison.
She sighed, wishing to the gods that she was able to teleport. But she soon realized that things would be easier if she didn't hope for things that weren't possible at the moment. Her thoughts trailed to the young man whose destiny was entwined with hers. His dark eyes, his jet black curls, and his smile that would forever be imprinted in her mind.
"Adam Park," Sorona whispered. I've never felt so much for one person in such a short time. Not even my love for Colin could compare to the feelings that I have for Adam.
Sorona sighed again, her thoughts trailing away from Adam and to the son of a great shaman, Colin. They had met as children, and grown up together. When she was fifteen, Colin had admitted deep feelings for her, and the pairing was complete with Sorona's return of those feelings. Even though her heart now yearned for Adam, someone she couldn't have, Sorona still worried about Colin. Before she had left for Earth, Colin was in a horrible state. A new enemy had appeared on Pheados and had nearly shot Colin to death with a strange power.
"Whoever he was, he'll pay. Regardless of other love's, Colin is still my friend," Sorona whispered. "Neolasa may be his father, and the first to find the bastard, but I am the one who shall get vengeance first."

Adam sighed as he let his Ninjetti armor fade away. "Guys, I think we should just storm the Skybase and be done with it. I mean, the sooner we have Sorona back, the better."
"THAT CANNOT BE DONE, ADAM. WE WOULD BE ESCALATING THE SITUATION. WHICH, AS YOU KNOW, IS AGAINST RANGER CODE."
"I know it is, Zordon... But Mondo already escalated the situation by capturing Sorona," Adam contested.
"I think if we have a plan, we can do this," Tommy said.
Zordon considered Adam and Tommy's words, then nodded. "I SUPPOSE YOU ARE RIGHT. IF WE FOLLOW A PLAN, THEN I SUPPOSE WE CAN SAVE SORONA WITHOUT ANY CAUSALTIES."
"Yeah."
