McKenna was woken up by the loud sound of a bell ringing. Dizzily she opened one eye and then the other, groaning. She rubbed her midsection in hopes to relieve all the pain she felt She lay there on the cold floor for several aggravating seconds. Finally she boosted herself up and tried to clear her spinning eyes.

McKenna knew that this time it was serious. She couldn't allow another Ranger to die. That wasn't in her book. With emotion images of a past Ranger who had died, Kendrix, throbbed in her mind. She washed the memories away with a wave of her hand. This boy…Hunter would not die. That she was sure of because she had seen herself there but then again it wasn't the first time. Most likely it wouldn't be the last.

Down the hall several feet away lay the man who had disgraced McKenna with his harsh actions. He slept none to well. Tossing and turning. His dreams of the rangers and the morphed that would bring the rangers powers back to them, plagued him. He turned over and dozed off into a deeper sleep once more. His mind told him that if he let this get away the evil of the galaxy would be doomed. His master had told him to break the girl, but she was a ready made Ranger, and they are usually never broken down.

Lexa had a secret to share with McKenna. One that would only draw them closer together. However she didn't think she would ever get a chance to explain it because her 'friend' would probably never find her.

Hours later Leden got up and out of his bed. He swung his feet til they reached the floor. He knew McKenna's weakness; Lexa. The answer had come in a dream that terrified yet excited him. Yes, he would use Lexa to tame McKenna.

The door opened and poured light into the dungeon-like room. McKenna struggled to sit up as rough hands pulled her to her feet. She staggered momentarily but was able to regain her strength.

"Hello McKenna."

The evil voice spoke with mock sweetness.

McKenna choked back a sob.

"I don't"

"Yes," the voice said smoothly, "I know you claim you don't have anything of value but I do."

He then waved his hand showing a picture of Lexa bound in a subdivision part of the institution. Water was seeping in and in a short period of time Lexa would lose all air and drown.

McKenna felt a surge of energy rush through her as she tried to strike Leden. The pairs of hands however kept her from such actions.

"You'll never get away with this! She's just an innocent." McKenna was dragged dow nthe hallway and to the subdivision. Kicking and screming she put up as much of a fight as she could. In the end she was thrown into the room and stumbled in the waster that wasa up to her shins.

"Sit" Leden ordered, putting pressure on her shoulders forcing her to stay down. Leden's foot soldiers took quick care of her and tied her hands together than bound them to the chair behind her back. Her legs were also separately chained to the wooden chair. As much as she gave them a hard time it looks as if they had won.

"You might have made a good Ranger" Leden said with a chuckle. His hand reaching out to caress her cheek. She immediately took action and bit his hand. He yelped bringing his hand back to his side, inspecting the bite mark.

"That wasn't very polite." he spoke calmly though rage could be seen. He turned to the guards, "double the water shoots."

Was his distinct order. McKenna looked on in horror as the water flew in with twice as much force.

"Good night lil miss ranger." He stated , his evil laughter reaming with her even after he had left the building

"Lexa!" McKenna shouted urgently, "LEXA!" It was no use her friend was out cold.
