Chapter Seven: Dimension

The following day, Kyle sent a message to the other rangers to meet him at the park, and soon they were all there, discussing their predicament.

"What are we going to do?" asked Kyle. "At our current level, we don't stand a chance against Zakar."

"It's pretty simple." replied Cyrus. "We need to increase our physical prowess."

"I know that." said Kyle. "What I meant was how are we going to do that before Zakar returns."

"I have an idea." said Roxanne. "Let's ask Illumi and the others to train us."

"A good idea Roxanne, but there isn't enough time." replied Rudy. "Zakar could come at any time, and I don't he'll mind hurting civilians to find us."

"You know, I actually like Roxie's plan." said Illumi as she and the other guardians appeared.

"Wait a minute, I never said you could call me Roxie." protested Roxanne. "But for you Illumi, I'll make an exception."

"Thanks...Roxie." replied a cheerful Illumi.

"If you don't mind me asking." said Whyatt. "Why are you all here?"

"From inside the Geo Stones, we were able to monitor your fight with Zakar." replied Bolt. "And from what we saw, you guys weren't doing so well."

"Please don't remind us." said a distressed Fiona. "We know we failed this time."

"Well fear not!" exclaimed Frost. "We've found a way to help you."

As the guardian's projection returned to the stones, they began to glow, and they floated before the rangers forming a circle, and from that circle, a portal appears.

"So are we supposed to go inside that?" asked Cyrus.

"Sure, why not." replied an excited Kyle. "Just means it's time for another adventure."

"Oh brother." laughed Rudy as they all entered the portal.

When the rangers arrived on the other side of the portal, they were mesmerized by the space around them, which only had a battleground and a house, but they sky was similar to the space in their vision, dawning many colors to create a great harmony. Then the rangers were met by the guardians.

"Welcome rangers." said Flame.

"So, what exactly are we doing here?" asked Roxanne.

"Well Roxie." replied Illumi. "This is where you'll be training for the next two days."

"Two days!" exclaimed the rangers in surprise.

"But, what about Zakar?" asked a worried Rudy. "Or our families, I think they'll realize their children haven't come home in two days."

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that." answered Quake.

"What do you mean?" asked a curious Whyatt.

"This place is known as,"The Chrono Space"." began Flame. "Here time goes faster, so two days here will be an equivalent to ten minutes in normal time."

"We also use this place to hone our skills in short amounts of time." added Wave.

"When does our training start?" asked Cyrus.

"Soon, but first put these on." replied Frost as he gave each of the rangers a basic training gi that corresponded with their color.

After they took one, they headed to the house to change, then fifteen minutes later, they came out.

"O.k, we're ready." said the rangers.

"Will we be fighting you?" asked Cyrus.

"No, you'll be fighting them." replied Frost as a rift formed, and out came seven multicolored robots.

"Each person shall fight their own color." explained Gayle.

"Today you'll be learning to hone your Geo power, so try to fight these bots using it." continued Gayle.

Then each of the rangers lined up against with their respective colored robots on the battleground.

"Ready...Fight!" exclaimed Bolt as the separate spars began.

"O.k, I'll use my power to create a smokescreen, then attack." thought Kyle as he executed his plan, but to his surprise, it failed and the bot exchanged a brutal punch to Kyle's stomach.

"Well Kyle, that didn't go too well." laughed Fiona.

"Shut up." said an annoyed Kyle as he rose up.

"This will be easy." bragged Fiona. "I'll just use a lightning blast and short circuit it."

As Fiona fired a lightning blast, the robot created a barrier and neutralized her attack.

"Well sis, that didn't go well for you either." said Whyatt as he stood on his sparring partner.

"What, you're done already." said Fiona in surprise. "How!"

"It's simple, when the robot created it's barrier, I used my Geo power to fire a super pressurized blast of water until it broke through, once the barrier was down, I attacked it again to win."

"Great work Whyatt." cheered Wave. "You've got mad skills."

"Thanks for the compliment Wave." replied Whyatt.

"So, even your little brother is better than you." said Krista as she and Rudy approached.

"So, how'd your matches go?" asked Whyatt.

"Not easy." replied Krista. "I tried to fight it at first, but it anticipated my moves, so I used my Geo power to blast in into the air, then it crashed down."

"Mine's was a bit easier." added Rudy. "I used my Geo power to cover my fists with stone to amplify the force of my punches."

Then Cyrus and Roxanne came to them after defeating their robot opponents.

"So, had your fights go?" asked Krista.

"My fight was pretty quick." replied Cyrus. "I just used my power to hit it from below with ice."

"And I defeated my opponent by shooting it with a concentrated beam of light." added Roxanne.

"O.k I got you now!" yelled Kyle as he used an opening to get close, and used his flames to overheat the robot.

"I can't believe it, I'm the only one left." thought a disappointed Fiona.

"Well not for long." said Fiona as she used her power to increase her speed and make contact with the robot, then she shocked it with electricity, defeating it.

"Nice work all of you." said Flame. "That's enough for today, now go rest and we'll resume training tomorrow."
