The Rangers defeat another monster. At Hayley's Cyberspace, Trent is working hard. Ethan and Trent are working on a government project together, but Trent doesn't have a moment to stop and work on the project. Trent is kept hopping by Cassidy's demands. Ethan rigs her laptop, every time Cassidy presses a computer key, it screams. Ethan is enjoying himself until Hayley stops him. Anton Mercer walks in. Anton is not impressed with Trent's job, although Trent enjoys it. Anton decides that there has to be a better way. Anton leaves and Trent has another late day at Hayley's. Tommy gives Trent a ride home. Tommy is curious about the fact that he never heard of a son from Anton when they worked together. Trent explains that he is adopted Anton worked on a dig with his parents on a dig. His parents were trapped in a cave in and never came out. Anton adopted Trent. During the ride, Tommy and Trent notices a golden creature racing behind them. The creature goes after Tommy and Trent tries to help. The Rangers show up and Zeltrax shows up as well. The Rangers are surprised when Zeltrax refers to the gold creature as his son. Trent makes it home and talks to his dad - wanting to know what happen between him and Dr. Oliver. Anton simply states that they have gone their different ways. Anton also tells Trent that he has bought the land that Hayley's Cyberspace sits on and that Trent is now the owner. Trent is not happy and does not want the position. Anton believes it is the best solution. The following day, Hayley receives the notice that the new owner is Trent. Hayley shows the paper to Tommy and Ethan. Trent walks in and defends himself. They decided to go to city hall to fight for Hayley. At city hall, Zeltrax and his son make another appearance. Trent takes the councilwoman to a safe hiding place. The councilwoman wants to do something for Trent and he mentions his father and Cyberspace. The Rangers defeat Zeltrax's son, which makes Zeltrax want vengeance against Tommy even more. Trent goes home to explain to his dad what he did, but doesn't find him. Instead, Trent finds an invisiportal and gets pulled in. Anton walks in Hayley's ready to tear the place down. Anton is stopped by Haley and by the councilwoman. The councilwoman has delayed the paperwork and sees no reason to shut down a safe haven for kids. Anton is not surprised when the councilwoman mentions that his son was the force behind the change. Anton leaves with Ethan following and cheering behind him. Trent is deposited from the invisiportal to the front of Hayley's Cyberspace. Ethan hadn't noticed how Trent arrived and just invites him inside. Trent says he will be there in a minute. Confused, Trent watches the back of his father as he walks away.
