Chapter 4.
"Their tough today!" Kelsey called as she spun and kicked a Batling.
"Their always tough." Joel called back ducking a blow.
Dana heard her friends as she fought the Batlings. She wondered why she didn't have her communicator. She always had her communicator. The funny thing was she couldn't remember.
"Dana!" Carter shouted the warning even as she was struck from behind. She flew through the air and landed hard. She found a foot on her back and could only twist her head as she heard someone go down. She flipped and grabbed her foe's foot and flipped him, even as she saw an explosion send her friends flying. She was up and running only to feel pain hit her from behind. Landing hard, she rolled in time to see Batlings carrying off her friends.
Suddenly the dock was gone and before her lay five bloodied bodies. Dana could see her friends, they were still moving. She then watched as the Titanium ranger vanished and before her stood a little boy with blond curls and accusing silver eyes.
"It's your entire fault, you weren't good enough and they died." He yelled and she stared at her brother as he had once been.
"No, I couldn't do anything." she whispered and the boy pointed at her.
"You killed them just like you would have killed me." He said and then he was a bloody pile of bones.

Standing in the Aquabase's infirmary les than ten minutes later, the other rangers watched the dream sequence unfolding. The leader of the rangers angrily clenched his hands into tight fists. Those monsters were killing her, slowly destroying her mind, her very heart.
"There has to be something we can do." He barely heard Kelsey speaking but his attention was drawn as Ms. Fairweather replied.
"I have been working on a new device that might be of use in a situation such as this one." She pulled out a plain looking silver bracelet. "It's called a dream walker. It will allow you to match consciousnesses with who ever is trapped. In this case that would be Dana."
As Captain Mitchell stood off to one side watching his daughter's nightmare, he felt as if he'd failed. To think his daughter had felt that Ryan's being taken was her doing. It was something he'd never considered. He'd not even been sure how much she remembered about that night, she'd been so little.
"I'm going in after her." the red lightspeed ranger said grimly and Miss Fairweather nodded.
For a moment longer Ryan stood there listening to the horrible words of himself in Dana's subconscious. He cringed inwardly, hadn't he said similar things to her once? Rage filled him hotter and faster than ever before, it was one thing for Queen Bansheera to come after him but to have her torture his sister like this. She'd pay.
"Alright, but you do understand that if either of you die in the dream your gone forever." The young scientist said and Carter nodded.
"Look!" Kelsey cried and all turned to look at Dana who was fading, Carter reached out for her and his hand went right through her.
"Miss F?" Joel asked confused.
"'I I don't know what's happening." The scientist hurried to try and stop what was going on.
