Karone took a step back, staring at each of them with a look on confusion on her face. "Who are you people? How do you know me?" she asked.

It was Alex who slowly approached her. "I know this is really confusing for you, but none of us are here to hurt you. My name is Alexander," he introduced.

"Who did I get here?"

"None of us are really sure how we got here. We've been trying to find a way out," Cam said, taking a step forward as well.

"These are my friends Cam, Alyssa and Kelsey," he said, attempting to calm her down.

"I was on the Astro Megaship talking with my friend, Zhane. We detected a subspace variance, then there was a bright light. When I opened my eyes, I was here," she told them.

"That's pretty much the way it happened for all of us. I think that…" she was cut short.

"Wait, did you say you detected a subspace variance?" Cam asked.

She nodded. "Yes, D.E.C.A. was picking up some unusual readings. We were on our way to investigate it, but there was that light and…" she allowed her sentence to trail off.

"A subspace variance could explain how we got here," he paused. "I was investigating a strange reading in ninja ops before I saw that light. That variance could have been some type of teleportation system," he said.

"But a subspace variance could be almost anything. It could have been an energy spike of some kind, or a slight incursion in the space/time continuum. It doesn't necessarily mean a teleportation system," Alex pointed out.

"True, but it's the best lead we have so far. Does anyone else remember what they were doing before they ended up here?" he asked.

"I was in the Aqua Base when Carter and Ms. Fairweather. Come to think of it, we were trying to gather more information about a strange reading we found," Kelsey said.

"What about you Alyssa?"

"I was on the Animarium with Max and the others. The sacred water warned us that there was an attack going on in the city. We were about to…" she paused. "That's when I saw that light, that's when I ended up here," she explained.

"Alex, what about you?"

"I was at headquarters. There was something going on, and Captain Logan told me to check the EPS systems for any variances. When I got there, there was a light… and then I was here," he told them.

"So we're all here because of some variance in subspace, but if we all came in contact with it in different points in time, chances are this wasn't a natural occurrence. Someone or something selected us to be here," Cam said.

"But who?"

"Whoever it is, they have to have a vast knowledge of the past, the present and the future," he said.

"Future? What do you mean the future?" Karone asked.

"Each of us are from different points in time. All of us are rangers, or, in some cases, going to be rangers," Alyssa said.

"How is that possible?"

"It seems that anything is possible in this place. The laws of physics seem to change from room to room," Kelsey told her.

"Looking at the construction and design, it almost looks like a tesseract," Karone said.

"What do you know about tesseracts?"

"Andros and I studied them on KO-35 when we were children. I'd seen models of them, but never one this big," she said.

"So this thing originated on KO-35,"

"I don't know. Like I said, I was a child when I first read about them. We thought they were only theories," she said.

"By chance, was there anything on how to get out of one?" Cam asked her.

"The ones I studied were much smaller, there was no way to get anyone inside," she said.

"Do you know who created it?"

She shook her head. "No, I'm sorry,"

"The original tesseract theory was formulated by a man named Dr. Geraint Davies. His theories led him to win the Nobel price in Quantum mechanics. I remember reading about it as well," Alyssa told them.

"Do the numbers 105709 mean anything to you Karone?" Kelsey asked.

She paused. "No. What does that number have to do with tesseracts?"

"We saw that number carved into the wall in one of the rooms we were in, we were hoping it would give us a clue as to how to get out of here," she said.

"I'm sorry I don't know more,"

"Come on guys, lets get moving," Cam said, walking over to the panel up against the wall. He pressed his hand against the panel, and it quickly slid open.

He allowed Kelsey, Alyssa and Karone to go first, and then followed them all through. Alex was last to go through.

"This room looks just like the last one," Karone pointed out.

"You get use to it after a while," Alyssa sighed.

"Wait, what's this," Cam walked over to the end of the room, picking up what looked like a watch. "Someone else has been here," he said, holding up the watch.

"That's not a watch. It's a communicator," Alex mentioned, getting a good look at it. "It's the communicators the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers used,"

"So it must have been Jason's," Kelsey mentioned.

"No, it isn't. When I was with him, he insisted that he wouldn't take it off just in case the other rangers tried to contact him," he said.

It was Alyssa who walked over to him, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Alex, we found Jason a few minutes before we bumped into you. Jason is dead," she told him.

He snatched away. "He can't be dead," he snapped.

"We all saw him," Cam added.

Alex slumped up against the wall. "Oh my God, Jason," he sighed.

"From the looks of it, he died from hunger," she mentioned.

"When I first got here, I could have sworn I saw myself escaping from one of the rooms. Its possible that the Jason we found isn't the Jason that Alex is talking about," Alyssa brought up.

"The fact that this Alex isn't the one we first encountered supports that theory," Cam said.

Alex looked up. "So, there's a chance that Jason is okay," he said.

"He probably is,"

"So what are we waiting for? Lets go," Alex said eagerly, making his way towards one of the doors.

Before he could put his hand on the panel to open it, the doors slid open, and there she was.

"Oh my God," she sighed.

"Kelsey?" he glanced back at Kelsey, who was still standing behind him, then at Kelsey, who was in front of him. "Hi,"

He stood aside, allowing her to come through.

"Okay, someone really needs to explain what's going on here," she groaned.

The door opened, and the two of them climbed through, landing on the other side. It was Jason who glanced around the room.

"What the hell is all this?"

"105709," Alex sighed, trying to figure out what the number could mean.

The number had been carved into almost every space in the room. Some of the numbers were bigger, some were smaller, but it was always the same.

"Someone is definitely trying to tell us something," he said.

"Yes, but what?"

"Maybe it's the number of rooms in this place," Jason suggested.

"If that's true, why would whoever it was go through all the trouble of coming back here and writing the number all over the wall, then leave? If you notice, some of the handwriting is different for some of them, which means more than one person has been here, and whoever it was, they figured out what it meant," he said.

"So what do you wanna do?"

"Nothing we can do but keep moving," he said, walking over to the panel on the side of the wall, opening the door.

In the next room, he saw Kelsey climbing through the panel on the opposite side. For a moment, he was convinced that he saw himself as well. Before he could call out to them, the panel closed, and Kelsey was gone.

He decided not to say anything to Jason about it and simply climbed through. Jason tried to follow him, but the panel closed. "Damn it," he snapped, quickly opening the door again, but Jason was gone. "Figures," he sighed.

He was about to go through another panel when the panel on the ceiling opened, and he fell through.

"Jason? Great, I thought I'd lost you," he said, walking towards him. The closer he got, he realized that that Jason wasn't the same one he'd gotten separated from just a few moments ago. His hair was much longer, and he now had a beard and mustache. He also noticed that he was wearing several communicators. "Where did you get all those?"

"You're not Alex! You're another illusion," he said, making his way towards Alex with a piece of metal in his hand. It looked as though Jason had pulled a strip of metal off the side of the wall and fashioned it into a knife. There was dry blood all over his arm and hand, and a huge scar on the side of his face.

"No, its me. Alex," he insisted.

"That's what they all said before I…"

"You killed them, didn't you?" Alex asked.

"They were lying to me, none of them were real. I killed them the same way I killed all the others that pretended to be me. They were lying to me too," he groaned, still moving closer.

Alex took a step back. "Listen Jase, its this place man. Time moves differently here, there's a chance that all those others really were you, just at different points in time," he explained.

"I don't believe you, you're lying to me!" he snapped, rushing at him.

He tried to stab him, but Alex side stepped him, then spun around, giving him a leg sweep. Jason fell forward, hitting his head up against the side of the wall. Alex quickly kicked the knife away from him, driving a knee into his back.

"Sorry Jase, but this is for your own good," he told him.

Before Jason could get back to his feet, Alex headed to the panel on the floor, opening it and jumping through.

Kelsey stared at herself, walking all the way around her to get a good look at her. She was amazed how, in every detail, they were exactly the same.

"Whoa, this is freaky," she sighed.

"Tell me the about it," the other said.

"So you're me, huh?"

"I guess so,"

"How did you get here?"

"I was in the Aqua Base with the others, then…"

"… there was a light, right?"

"Yeah, a light. I closed my eyes, and…"

"When you opened them…"

"I was here," the two of them said in unison.

"Okay, the two of you have to promise to never do that again," Cam said.

"So I don't understand. Whoever is trapping us in here is trapping different versions of us from different time periods?" Alyssa asked.

"Doubtful. I suspect that because time is moving differently in this place, these Kelseys' are the same person, but from different points in time. For example," he turned to Kelsey. "How long have you been here?"

"A half hour, maybe forty minutes," she said.

He turned to the other Kelsey. "What about you?"

"Almost two days now. I thought I was alone in here, this is the first time I've bumped into anyone," she told him.

"That's proves my theory,"

"So there any dozens of us trapped in here?"

"We can't be concerned with that right now. Our goal should be to get out, then find a way to shut this thing down. If we can do that, time will be restored to its natural state," Alyssa said.

"Sounds good, but this thing is a maze, and the rooms all have different rules to them. We have to adjust to a new time and a new set of laws every time we go to a new room," Alex pointed out.

Cam paused for a moment, looking at both the Kelseys', then at Alex. "That's it,"

"What's it?"

"I know who trapped us in here," Cam said.
