Chapter 6

Trent crept back to his house and found the invisiportal in his dad's office. He prayed that he wouldn't encounter any problems on the other side. In a flash of green light, he was transported to the fortress.

The first thing he did when he got there was blend into the nearest wall. He took in a sharp breath when Zeltrax walked around the corner of the corridor that Trent now occupied. He closed his eyes, barely breathing, as he hoped beyond hope that he had blended in completely before Zeltrax appeared.

Adrenaline rushed through his body and he tensed, preparing to fight if he was noticed. Zeltrax kept walking, apparently oblivious to Trent's presence. When Zeltrax and a few drones had passed his position, he moved stealthily forward to the next corridor and once again blended in with his surroundings before attempting to move farther on.

Unfortunately, his chameleon powers only worked when he was standing still. Trent was beginning to lose patience with such a slow effort to rescue his friends. He was about to run, completely visible, when groaning caught his attention. It was coming from a cell just up the corridor.

He slowly opened the door and walked into a darkened room. No one was in sight. He cried out in pain when something hit him from behind. He whirled around with both fists in the air preparing to counter attack. Suddenly, Dr. Oliver appeared out of thin air directly in front of him.

"Dr. O!"

"SSHHHH! Sorry about hitting you. I thought you were one of Mesogog's goons."

"It's okay. I understand. I've come to free you guys…where is Conner and Ethan?"

"They have been put into separate cells down the hall."

After showing Dr. O the antidote and proposing his plan, Dr. O and Trent freed the others and set their plan into motion.

Conner and Ethan would create a diversion and lure Zeltrax and Mesogog away, while Dr. O took the antidote and prepared the life-force extractor. Trent was the bait that would lure Kira in front of the beam.

"Okay, let's go!"

The four rangers morphed and ran in opposite directions determined to succeed. Failure, for any of them, was not an option.
