Chapter 4

"…she's dangerous!"

"What are you guys talking about?" A voice questioned from across the room.

"Kira are you okay?"

"I'm fine but Trent is in terrible danger! Mesogog hit him with a mind-altering ray. It's making him go crazy! We have to help him before it's too late!"

"Trent did sound kind of stressed out Dr. O," Ethan recalled.

"Prove it really is you Kira," Dr. Oliver demanded of her.

"Okay, Conner is a dumb jock, Ethan's a nerd, and you hate being called dude. Did I leave anything out?"

"Hey! I resent that!" Ethan pouted.

"Well, it's true!"

"So where is Trent?"

"After I escaped the lab he followed me until he got zapped like I said."

"If the ray has damaged Trent as badly as you suggest, then we better get moving right away."

"Follow me!" Kira led the way.

Haley stayed behind in the lab in case they needed technical support or backup.

After being led for about a mile into the woods, Kira stopped and turned around to face the others. Her face twisted into an evil smirk and her eyes glowed red.

"Whoa! Something was wrong with Kira!" Ethan widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Which means Trent was telling the truth and we…"

"…fell into a trap," Dr. O finished for Conner.

"That's right fools!"

A huge invisiportal appeared above their heads. Before they could react, they were pulled in, the three rangers dreading what was on the other side.

(Back at Dr. Tommy Oliver's secret lab)

Trent was de-morphed and sitting on a crate trying to formulate a plan, when a loud clanging echoed down the stairs. Startled, he jumped up and got into a fighting stance expecting the worst.

"Haley?"

"Whoa! It's just me, calm down!"

"I could have sworn no one was here! Where did you come from?" Trent tried to calm his racing heart.

"Uh…the stairs," Haley offered.

"Oh. Well, where were you this entire time and where are the others?"

"I had to run back to my house to pick up some important computer files. I let Tommy know that they would be on their own for a little while because they went out looking for you. With these files I was going to get a lock on you…but I can see that you are already here," Haley held up the disks.

"Why did they go looking for me? Don't they know I'm okay? Kira is the one who needs help!"

"I'm sorry Trent but I can't let you leave until I'm sure that you weren't really hit by Mesogog's mind-altering ray."

"Mind-altering ray? Who told you that?"

"Kira. She was here not too long ago. She led the others on a search into the woods."

"I seriously doubt that. Look, I'm not crazy and I didn't get hit by a mind-altering, whatever!! You've got to listen to me. It's the others who are in danger of Kira! If we don't get to her soon then it will be too late and she will remain a monster forever!"

The entire time that Trent was trying to persuade Haley that he was indeed normal, Haley continued backing slowly away from him until she touched the computer console. She quickly spun around and hit a button, shouting at the top of her voice. "Trent is here! Get over here, quick!"

"NO!" Trent shoved Haley away from the computer and shut off the communication console.

"You shouldn't have done that! Kira is going to come back here as the monster Mesogog transformed her into."

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, Trent's morpher crackled to life and he heard startled shouts and then a roar of triumph.

"Now are you ready to listen?"

Haley nodded her head in the affirmative and sat down. Trent started his tale.
