Though he'd been conscious for hours, Cam simply laid on the floor of the holding cell, waiting for someone to find him. He knew that it wouldn't be too long before a routine guard came by to check on the prisoners and would find him. They'd find him, ask him what happened, and he'd go into detail about how he was attacked by the prisoners and they must have escaped while he was unconscious. That way, Zek'eth wouldn't suspect him of foul play, and he'd be able to continue with his work without suspicion.

He was unsure of the passage of time, but if he had to guess, he estimated he was out for a little over twenty minutes, maybe thirty. Based on that, it was reasonable to assume that a security detail would be along any moment. As he lay there, he could feel the energy from the morpher surging through his body, and that disturbed him. He was away of the instability of the morpher, and though he'd done his best to repair it, he was concerned that his initial tests may have been wrong. When he had the samurai amulet, he never felt any energy outputs, nothing, so the fact that his entire arm was tingling was a major cause of concern. Still, though the morpher may have been doing some damage on a cellular level, he didn't want to remove it. If he did, he'd become vulnerable to Zak'eth's mind control. If that were to happen, he'd be compelled to reveal the truth to Zak'eth; that he'd purposely allowed Wesley Collins and Eric Myers to escape, that he'd been working on ways to counter act the mind control effect. Falling under Zak'eth's control would alert him to every resistance headquarters in the state, and if the resistance fell, there would be no one to stop Zak'eth.

"Sir?" a voice called out. Seconds later, a guard rushed over to him, helping him up. "Sir, what happened?" he asked.

The guard was simply a Lightspeed employee, but since falling under the control of Zak'eth, had begun to ignore his usual duties and became a full time guard for Zak'eth.

"I-I'm…" Cam purposely paused, giving the impression that he had no idea what was going on. "Oh no, the prisoners. They must have escaped," he sighed, hoping his performance was convincing.

"Zak'eth will not be pleased, but I doubt he will blame you. You were overpowered," he said, assuring him.

It took everything Cam had not to roll his eyes in disgust. "I hope not. I'm going to head to the lab and see if I can track the prisoners. Has the raid of the Resistance in Turtle Cove began?" he asked.

"No sir, we were told that you would lead the assault. When you didn't report to your duty shift, we got concerned and came looking for you," he said.

Cam sighed. "Contact Tori, Conner and Eric McKnight. They will be joining us on this mission. We're going to wipe out this Resistance once and for all," Cam said with a firm tone in his voice.

"Yes sir!" the guard said proudly, rushing out the room.

Kelsey opened her eyes slowly, but as soon as she did, it felt as though the entire room was spinning. Her vision was blurry, making it difficult for her to focus. Her mind was filled with conflicting thoughts as she attempted to remember what happened, but she couldn't remember anything. Finally, her vision cleared up, only to discover she was tied to a chair. She appeared to be in a basement of some kind. There was some equipment along the walls, some tables with papers scattered across them, but nothing that would indicate where she was.

She turned around, trying to get a good look at the place, and realized that Ethan was behind her tied to a chair as well. From the looks of it, he was still unconscious.

"Ethan," she called out, hoping he would wake up, but no luck.

Her next thought was to attempt to free herself, but the ropes around her wrists were too tight. She did notice, however, they she was still wearing her morpher, not that it would do her much good if she couldn't reach it. In the distance, she could hear voices. They were overlapping, and with her mind still racing, she couldn't tell who it was. Soon, she heard a door open, and footsteps. A few seconds later, it Wes and Eric walked down the steps and over to them.

"You're awake, good," Wes said.

"Wes? Wesley Collins? What's going on?" she asked.

Wes paused. "You mean you don't remember?"

"I remember showing up to the Aqua Base to get my morpher. Admiral McKnight ordered us to talk to the alien, but after that, my mind is a blur," she confessed.

"I told you, her morpher blocks the effects," he said, turning to Eric.

"I still don't trust her, what if she's playin' us?"

"She isn't. Look at her, she doesn't remember a thing," Wes pointed out.

"Could someone please tell me what's going on?" Kelsey sighed.

"For the last week, you've been under alien control. Zak'eth was using you to wipe out members of the Resistance," he said.

"A week? Wipe out who? The Resistance of what?" she asked.

It was Jason who walked down the steps. "Almost the entire planet is under alien control. We think that when you went onboard the alien ship, you were manipulated into working for Zak'eth. Your morpher shields you from the mind control effects, but you had to morph for it to work. When you morphed, the effected her blocked, and you able to snap out of his control," he explained.

"So I've been…" she paused. "Oh God, I didn't hurt anyone, did I?"

"Taylor says you've got a mean kick, but other than that, no."

"Oh my God, I'm sooooo sorry guys. I never meant to…"

"No one here blames you, you weren't yourself. What we need to worry about now is how to stop the aliens before he wipes out the entire Resistance and the world is completely under Zak'eth's control," Jason said.

"Now is the time for that plan of yours Collins," Eric brought up.

"Kelsey, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. My head feels like it stepped on by a zord, but I'm fine," she said.

"Good, when Ethan wakes up, the two of you are going to take us back into the Aqua Base," he said.

"We talked about this Collins, going in there would be suicide. Even with our morphers it won't be enough to…" he was cut short.

"We're not going for a fight, at least not yet. I figure Zak'eth doesn't know Kelsey and Ethan aren't under his control anymore, so they'll be able to walk right in with no problems. They'll lead us all in, and we'll get captured," Wes said.

"That's your plan? Get captured?" Jason asked.

"As a matter of fact, it is. With all of us in a holding cell, we'll be in position to take down Zak'eth from the inside. Eric, do you think you could get your hands on some explosives?" he inquired.

"I doubt it. They don't exactly sell C4 on Ebay," he said.

"If I remember right, there is plenty of explosives in the Aqua Base," Kelsey said.

"I thought you said you didn't remember anything," Eric brought up.

"I don't, but Ms. Fairweather always had a supply of explosives on hand just in case. Its all in the lower levels of the base, but its restricted access," she said.

"That won't be a problem," Ethan said, chiming into the conversation.

"How long have you been awake?"

"The whole time, but I thought it was a good idea to listen first, see what I'd gotten myself into," he told them.

"Okay, we can get to the explosives and Ethan can get us in, but then what? You're not planning to blow up the Aqua Base just to stop Zak'eth, are you?" Kelsey asked.

"No, I had something else in mind. Ethan, are you sure you're feeling up to this?" Wes inquired.

"Some alien did the mind whammy on me. I'm up for a little payback," he said.

"Good. We'll get everything organized, and when we're ready, you can call Zak'eth and tell him you've captured the entire Resistance force. Everybody rest us, we leave in an hour," Wes instructed.

Alyssa estimated that there were at least three dozen people in the room, all of them panicked, all of them unsure of what was going on. For the most part, none of them were truly aware of what was going on, but that was probably a good thing. If she'd learned anything about people, it's that in large groups, they were unpredictable, even violent. If they knew there was an alien invasion, that they'd be captured by extraterrestrials and would than likely be killed, they would panic, and they'd do more harm than good.

The best thing to do was to wait, to see what happened, and once she had a better understanding of the situation, make her move. As the group talked amongst themselves, most of them about what was going on and how they got there, she made her way to front of the room. She looked for an entrance, an exit, an opening, something, but there was nothing there. The walls were smooth, there weren't even slits along the wall that may have indicated an opening of any kind.

Just then, an opening appeared. It was as if there wasn't a door there, but then, out of nowhere, it was. In the confusion, she hurried over to the exit. There were two guards, both armed with some type of phaser weapons.

"Zak'eth wishes to see some of you. If you could line up in an orderly fashion, this can go as quickly as possible," one of the guards said.

Alyssa walked over to him. "Zak'eth wants to see us for what?"

"That doesn't concern you. Now, if you'll come with me."

"I think it does concern me."

"Ma'am, I don't want to get violent with you, but if you…"

He was interrupted as she hit a spin kick, knocking the weapon out of his hand. He grabbed him, putting the guards arm behind his back and got behind him as the second guard aimed and fired his weapon, hitting the first guard. The guard fell to the ground, and she rushed towards the second guard, taking him down with a sabat kick. With both the guards down, she turned to the crowd.

"Anyone else not having fun, I suggest you leave now," she told them.

As Alyssa predicted, the entire crowd rushed out the room and down the hallway. She waited until all of them were gone, and then stripped down the guard, putting on his jacket, helmet and weapon. She drug him into the room she was being held in, then headed in a different direction. With any luck, she'd be able to find her way out and figure out exactly what was going on. After a brief search, it seemed as though every hall led to a dead end. Before she could do anything, another opening appeared, and a group of guards approached her.

"Soldier, what are you doing? There has been a security breach and there are civilians running loose on the ship," one of them said.

"Um, I know. I was coming to get you guys," she said insincerely.

"Wait, what is your name and rank?" the other asked.

She sighed. "I always did suck at undercover," she said. Alyssa grabbed her weapon, hitting one of the guards in the face. The second one reached for his weapon, but she ducked, spun around and hit a leg sweep. On his way down, he hit his head on the side of the wall, knocking him out. With them down, she rushed into the room they'd just come from.

It appeared to be a control room of some kind, possibly even the bridge of a ship. Alyssa hurried over to the controls, but everything was written in an alien language. There was no way for her to be sure what any of the controls did. Still, she took a chance, pressing a few buttons. There was a beam of light that shot down from the ceiling of the ship, but at first glance, it didn't look like an energy discharge. It wasn't doing any damage to the ship, and there was no heat coming from it. She stepped a little closer, the light seemed to engulf her. Her first reaction was to run, but she didn't even take two steps before she was clear of the light, but she wasn't on the ship anymore.

Now, she was in a field. She turned around and saw the ship behind her. 'Ah, teleportation,' she thought to herself. She was clear of the ship, and she reached for her growl phone.

"Guys, this is Alyssa. Can anyone hear me?"

Turtle Cove, California

"Its Alyssa, she's still out there," Taylor said, reaching for her growl phone to respond.

Before she could, Eric grabbed her hand. "Don't you think it's a little convenient that shes trying to contact you now? For all you know she under Zak'eth's control and he's using her to track you down," he said.

"Alyssa wouldn't do that."

"If she's under his control, she isn't even Alyssa right now. The best thing to do is ignore her, we have no idea whos listening to that communication," he said.

She sighed. "But what if it is her, and she needs help?"

"She's a ranger, she can handle herself. Right now, we need to worry about the plan," Tommy said, walking into the room.

Reluctantly, Taylor put her growl phone back in her pocket. "This plan better work," she groaned.

"It will," he turned to Ethan. "Okay, you're up!"

Ethan nodded, then reached for her morpher. "This is Ethan, come in," he said, then paused, waiting for a response.

"Ethan, this is Eric, are you okay?"

"Eric?" Eric inquired.

Kelsey leaned over. "Eric McKnight, he's the green Lightspeed ranger now, she told him.

"There's another Eric?" he groaned.

"Shhhhh."

"I'm fine, and I have good news. Kelsey and I were able to infiltrate the Resistance and capture them. Can you track my morpher to this location?" he asked.

"I can lock onto you and be there in ten minutes. Will you be okay until then?"

"Yes, everything is fine. The Resistance was no match for us."

"Excellent, Zak'eth will be pleased. Eric out."

"Okay, they're on their way," Ethan said.

"What the hell… another Eric?" he snapped.

"Eric is a pretty common name," Tommy brought up.

"And Tommy isn't?"

"Guys, they'll be here in a minute, we have to be ready," Ethan brought up.

"Listen kid, you've got a red morpher on but don't think for a second that you're the leader around here. I'm…" he was cut short as Taylor grabbed him, putting her hand over his mouth.

"Ethan is right. We have to find something to tie ourselves up with before they get here. Lets get to work," she said.

"My friends, I want you to know that the sacrifice you make today is for the greater good. Not just for your world, but for all worlds. After Unification is complete, we will journey to other worlds, allowing them to experience the same peace and tranquility that you have now. What you do here is a service not just for all human kind, but for the entire universe. Countless billions are in dept to you, and on behalf of all those you will save, I thank you," Zak'eth said.

The group was enthralled by what he said, all of them willing to do whatever it took to ensure peace for the universe. One man out of the group stepped forward, dropping to his knees in front of Zak'eth.

"I am ready to do what you ask," he said.

"Oh no my friend, do not bow to me. I am your humble servant, here to ensure peace for your race. Thank you for your sacrifice, it will not be in vain," he said, placing his hands on either side of the man's head. His hands began to glow, the man started to shake. As he shook, his complexion changed, getting paler and paler by the moment. Soon, the man was completely lifeless and devoid of any color at all, collapsing to the floor.

"Now, who's next?" Zak'eth asked.
