Synopsis:
Outside Challengers Mountain, Prof, Red, and June are mysteriously teleported away by a strange light. Rocky and Ace pursue their teammates into the light which takes them to another dimension. They arrive to find their friends caged by large orange beasts in a laboratory. The beasts chase the two Challengers outside and then seem to lose interest in them.

Ace and Rocky are then attacked by two green skinned aliens. After a brief battle, they realize that the aliens are on the same side. The orange beasts are unintelligent monsters, the aliens had one caged in their lab and some other monsters came looking for it. The teleporter that brought the Challs to this world was activated by accident.

The caged Challengers manage to escape their cage. June befriends the captive beast, a K’Zana. When they are attacked by the other beasts, the Challs are saved by the beast June befriended. Reunited with the other Challs, they are able to retake control of the lab and return to their own dimension.
