"Why would I want to get into a shouting match? That's the furthest thing from my mind," Amara said. "I haven't seen you in a while, so I was trying to see how you're doing. Especially today." The Gold Ranger's heart sank for Ken, knowing the burden that was on his heart and mind. "I know you're still carrying a lot of baggage, but....have you talked to anyone?"

Derek's private jet landed safely without incident. He exited the plane with Boss flanking him, finding that his car was waiting for him.
"I'm gonna head straight for the graveyard. I shouldn't be any more than a few hours." Derek thanked the staff and said his goodbyes to Boss before leaving the air strip in his car and making his way to the graveyard.

Amara sighed softly. "Ken, doesn't SPD have counselours? Organization like that, I'm sure someone's on staff." She looked at the former Blue Ranger and folded her arms. "What did we tell you all last year? Don't expect to be your dad. Make SPD yours, and make it something you're proud of. Not "How do I live up to Dad?" again., Ok?" She patted Ken's shoulder, smiling softly.
"Listen...I'm heading back to Moze's grave. The others will be here soon....if you want to join us," she said. She turned to walk away, but stopped. "Oh, one more thing. This is from Jax, he asked if any of us saw you to tell you this. Please stop piggybacking off of the Command Center's datastreams. Kida's capable of searching for the Machine Empire, you just need to worry about SPD. Ok?"

Cole gave his wife a mischievous smile as the two boarded the private jet and prepared to take off "you don't have to call me sir you know I prefer to be the one at your mercy"he said winking as he took his seat After shooting another text to Wendy making sure she would be waiting at the airport with the box of donuts and two coffees as well as his mustang Cole settled in ready for the long flight home
Olivier takes a seat next to Cole as the jet begins to depart. She takes her phone out to send a quick text to her friends that they'll be on their way back to Eaglemere before placing it next to her chair. "Had to give the others a heads up while we're at it. I wonder how they're doing all this time." She says to Cole.

Wasting no time and breaking a traffic law or two, Derek made his way to the graveyard. After finding a place to park, he made his way to Moze's grave, placing his hand on it once he got close as he held a brown bag in his other hand.
"Hey there, my friend. It's been a while. Sorry for the delay. It's been crazy busy with everything between my stuff and keeping an eye on the others. It feels weird though. I've led in the past, but it's a different vibe with you not here. We're managing the best we can and I'm not even on my mopey Derek vibe." The CEO chuckled. "The one thing that we all agree on is that you're at peace with your mom which helps make the pain easier to manage day by day."
Derek pulled a bottle of vodka, cracking it open and pouring a little out in her honor before taking a shot to the head before coughing. In that moment, he remembered his body was much better with nuclear hot food than it was with liquor. After coughing, he laughed a bit, knowing she'd get a kick out of his display.

Jun made his way out, holding two boxes of extra large pizza, and headed his way, hoping to make his way to the Sundrop Cafe and at least surprise Katherine and his bandmates with what was going on. Along the way, he was thinking about how the team was doing and wanted to stop by to see either one of them, but he wanted to make a stop at the cafe before.

"I'll be right there Amara and I'll think about talking to someone" Ken said giving a tired smile he saw he saw that Derek was at Moze's grave and knelt down beside him "hey printsessa sorry it's been a minute I just been busy running SPD trying to become the kind of King you would be proud of I became a bit of a polyglot comes with having to deal with foreign government officials" the blue Ranger unceremoniously snatched the bottle from Derek raising it to the grave radi tebya, moy drug, ya skuchayu po tebe" the self-proclaimed King said before taking a drink Handling the liquor better than Derek did "hey there Mr. Silver streak hope you don't mind me bumming a drink from you" the blue Ranger said apologizing in his own way.

Cole's jet landed without incident as they got ready to leave Wendy Williamson was at the gate holding a box of donuts and two iced coffee "Mrs. Coleman boss good to see you " Cole's assistant said with a smile "we haven't decided if she is taking my last name yet" the green Ranger corrected his assistant "my mistake" she apologized "the Mustang is ready to go I can get us to the graveyard in five minutes"
"You're not my chauffeur Wendy" the green Ranger said slightly insulted that someone else would drive his Mustang
"My mistake Mr. Coleman I just figured that you would want some quality time with your wife and hope for the record I'm your chauffeur, food delivery service, and personal babysitter when Olivier's not around" Wendy corrected her boss

"I actually do mind." Derek snatched the bottle back, putting it back in the brown bag it came out of. After scolding the Blue Ranger for his actions, he placed a hand on his shoulder. "You know she hated that, but you do it to this day. When she punches you from the grave, I don't wanna hear it." The CEO cracked a smile, referring to the name Printessa that Ken always called her, no matter how much she asked not to.

Amara, having followed Ken back over, shook her head with a bemused smile and a small sigh. "More things change, more they stay the same," she said, putting her hand on Derek's shoulder. "Hi, babe. How was the meeting with Toei?"
Not too far away, Kida and Jax both teleported in, heading for Moze's graveside. Kida looked up and saw nearly everyone was there, seeing three missing. "Hey, guys," Kida said.
Jax walked up and waved, smiling softly.

"It's Olivier, Wendy. We've known each other for over a year." Olivier corrects gently to Cole's PA. Then she looks at Cole with shake of her head. "Cole, let her do as she pleases. We just returned from our mini-vacation." She reminds him.

"Oh hey babe." Derek looked back, looking at Amara lovingly as she was a sight for sore eyes. "The meeting was awesome! I finally got to meet Toriyama-Sensei and we came up with some really good ideas for marketing. But we can talk about all of that later. I hope you guys didn't burn the city to the ground while I was gone." DC grinned.

"Whatever you say dear" Cole said grinning cheekily as he took a chocolate frosted donut and his iced coffee from Wendy.
As the trio made their way to Cole's car Wendy held the back door open for both of them Cole allowing his wife to go first as he savored his doughnut and coffee

"I kept it from going up," Amara said, looking up as Jax and Kida walked up. She hugged her brother and Kida, smiling softly. "Hi, guys."
"Hey," Jax said, hugging his sister before patting Derek's shoulder. "You good, brother?"
Kida smiled softly, hugging Amara before she looked at the headstone. "Any word from Cole, Olivier, and Jun?"

Accepting the coffee and a glazed donut from Wendy, Olivier sits next to Cole and together with Wendy, they head off to the cemetery. She takes the time to eat and drink. It has been a while since she last visit Moze. She wants to talk to her about recent events and personal life to her. Even though it's no longer the same, she has to move forward for herself. She looks through the window and notices they're getting close to their destination. "We're almost arriving, Cole." She says.
