Tifa looked up, seeing Olivier as she put her fork down in the box. "Oh. Hi," she said. "Olivier, right?" She closed the box and got to her feet, looking at the Pink Ranger. "What's up?"
"Yes. That's my name." Olivier smiles proudly. "I was just doing my daily run and I noticed you here. How are you today?"

"Prior to meeting Dieck, I never have the knowledge about multiverse, and I still have so much to learn thanks to this." Wicz admits with a small huff. "Bit by a bit, it's becoming more interesting."

After Sojiro visited the Argonites, he promised Lilith that he would give her something sweet for her to eat and when he left to escort the city until he felt the rain coming in and he quickly flew back where he returned to the Waverunner where he met Cody and Rolo there, "Oh, Cody. Rolo," he said.
Rolo turns his head around to see Soujiro walking behind him as they went inside the WaveRunner. "Hey Soujiro." He greets with a grin.
Following his nephew's direction, Cody smiles softly upon meeting his Yellow friend. "Hi Soujiro. How are you?" _______
After an extensive discussion with Ashera, Alluka leaves the hut and flies back downtown. She opts to at least walk despite the inclement weather. The earlier talk gives her an open view perspective on what to approach forward with K'hysh. While she will support the part of saving her, she choose to let go of her idealization over her. All it takes is surmount of evidence that make her realize what her path truly lies. One may not like it, but what's important is her happiness.

While Wicz has fair share over ostracism in school, this one is different because it's the crowd who show animosity over Xylia for something she doesn't actually do. This kind of thing makes him even more protective over his Red teammate. Upon seeing Demelurina, he tilts his head out of confusion. "I have so much to learn." He admits softly.

"That's the thing, I have no idea. I was too consumed with trying to save you all that I missed its weak points" Lalah admitted. "Unless the Chrono Blaze Charger will counter it. Fire does melt ice."

Olivier is at the park, doing her daily run. She finds it hard to realize a week has gone by so fast. With Tifa adding in, things have been doing well as she thought. She stops at a nearby tree to stretch her muscles. While she's doing it, her eyes spot Tifa eating her meal. Making a decision, she walks over to her new Red teammate. "Hello Tifa." Olivier greets.

Lalah had anticipated their questions, so she's going to answer the same explanation she told Mateo and Sensei. "I underwent Groundhog Day. I relieve this same day over and over again. I knew what Glaciar was capable of because..." She took a deep breath to quell her emotions until she stared at the team right in front of her. "I saw all of you murdered by that creation. I was too late to save you."

Rolo frowns as he watches Tanjiro leave. Whatever it is, he thinks he doesn't want to approach them or something. He still wonders why he and everyone else are like walking on eggshells. "Did I do something wrong?"
Cody shakes his head to assure his nephew. "No, you're not. The past few weeks, everyone copes differently because of what we learn regarding K'hysh."
"Oh...yeah. I did remember that one." Rolo has never forgotten what he overhears. From arguments back and forth from the distance to his uncle coming to his room with a black eye, it doesn't take long to put two and two together. What even confirms it is talking to him about it. "I still don't get why saving her is important when all she does is hurt us."
Sometimes, Cody really wishes his nephew isn't so damn smart and observant. Then again, he doesn’t think it will suck any less if he explains it all to him, instead of him figuring it out for himself.
“True,” Cody says, and then, to be fair, “But she was a victim as well. I don’t think the Commander did as intended on her and on the team. She thought she was doing the right thing. She didn’t know that we were uncovering more truths than we realized. She wanted to protect us.”
"But it blew up right away." Rolo adds in the end.
Cody only nods and makes an affirmative noise. "I do understand where she's coming from. Doesn't mean I agree completely. It makes me see where my stance is at." And it's true. While no one agrees, at the very least it feels good to just speak out his truth.
“Even though K'hysh saves us, I don't feel easy.” Rolo argues, with a flash of sullen anger that reminds him of Ephraim. “I’m scared she's gonna hurt Kari and Alluka.”
Cody agrees with a small nod, allowing the silence to go on. Eventually uncle and nephew finish their breakfast, take care of last minute things here before they leave. Since it's going to rain soon, they decide to return to the WaveRunner for warmth. ________
"What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Looking up, Alluka stares at the elder Agronite Ashera while her hands hold on to the newly-made tea. She gives her a brief rundown on what her and her friends are going through this time and her earlier conversation with Est. She lets a deep exhale, trying to formulate her thoughts.
"Here is the thing. I want to save my friend. Not out of obligation or for her love ones, but to ease the weight I have been carrying." Alluka answers slowly.
"Why is that?"
For a moment it seems as if Alluka won’t speak, that whatever it is will crumble down from inside. But she starts eventually, eyes diverting as she slowly explains, "In the beginning, I have always followed K’hysh. She is amazing, she treats me as her equal, someone I can confide in when it comes to relationships. She is the best Red Ranger I can ever ask for. She set the bar so high that I could not reach her level. When she seemingly disappeared, I did not know what to do with myself. For months, I was going through motions." Alluka explains with a sigh. "Had I not have Cody, I do not know what I would have become. Being part of Time Force gave me everything I wanted, her included."
"And yet?"
Alluka lowers her head, gazing at the liquid. "My path becomes uncertain. Everyone wants to quit. I would like to quit but I cannot. Not when I still have more accomplishments to complete here. I do not know what I can do outside of Time Force. It is bad enough to live with the nightmare of guilt but to deal with the ruse? It is difficult to fathom.”
“I see. That is a lot for any one person to go through in the span of two years,” Ashera says. “Without even taking into account everything that came before it. You don't have to always follow their examples. They choose for themselves. You follow what your heart wants, right?” Ashera asks.
“I think so?” Alluka answers. “My mantra is I cut my own path. Along the way, I cut my path for others to follow. Lately, I emulate theirs and to be honest, it weighs me down. Joy. Fear. Excitement. I became numb. There was just this looming dread left over, like I cheated fate, and I was not supposed to be part of that, and I felt that eventually that would catch up to me.”
“You’re someone with a very deep well of empathy, Alluka. You take on other people’s hurt along with your own.”
Alluka nods.
“And sometimes, feeling other people’s pain that deeply, leads us to making decisions that can hurt ourselves. Even if we have the best intentions.”
Of all the things Alluka has considered, this one may be the missing piece. Is it possible she has a problem confronting her own self. She does avenge her parents with the help from her friends, and yet she begins to realize she has a long way to go,
After several minute, Ashera asks carefully. “Going back to earlier question, what are your thoughts moving forward, Alluka?"

“Calen is going to bring his newest creation Glaciar Zero for this upcoming mission at Konoha. This beast may be powerful enough to create a snow warning, using the weather to its advantage in order to eliminate its foes with one fell swoop with its teeth and claws. I have seen what it does first hand." Lalah explained, facing her team.

Zyrosk cheekily spun out of the way, allowing Pilar and Ryan's attacks to head towards each other.
Unfortunately for Pilar, her attempt proves futile as she crashes into Ryan instead. "Gah!" The White Ranger feels the extreme pain by the cross-slash, which leaves her sliding against the ground. She curses, trying to get up despite the damage. "You sneaky bastard, you're going to pay!" Picking up her weapons, Pilar charges forward to strike Zyrosk as she can.

"Understood." For the first time in a long time, Lalah felt relieved, that the solution was going to be fixed properly. As nervous as she was, she had to explain that entire thing to the others if she wanted the loop to just stop completely.
"I'll address this situation when we're inside. This is important from my part." Lalah answered to Leon.

Staggering backwards, Pilar manages to hold her ground as she faces Zyrosk. "The only one who's weak is you, Zyrosk!" The White Ranger performs a low spinning kick out of her run and then she goes behind the general, slashing him with her White Tiger Baton and Crystal Saber.

Wicz can only nods solemnly before he gets up. Unfortunately for him, the deep cut from his shoulder becomes excruciating that he drops back down immediately. "Oh crud! This is not what I have in mind." The Purple Ranger grits his teeth, clutching the shoulder to stop the bleeding.

Before Olivier takes her leave, she hears her phone beeping. She checks it quickly, skimming through the message until she lets out a sigh. "Cole, I'll meet with you at home later. One of my co-workers, Meals, needs my help getting a spare battery from various auto part stores. It shouldn't be take too long." She says with a sad smile. Then she teleports away.

Pursing her lips. Lalah stared at her hand, a phantom reminder of her overuse that almost cost it. As hesitant as she was, she had to confront that dilemma in order to stop the loop from resetting again. "The first time I tried it, it was a disaster. I relied on it to the point it went disruptive. While it almost cost my hand, my Storm Morpher melted and I couldn't use it after." She explained, her expression full of disappointment. "The second time, I didn't use it until the last minute, which almost lost my foot. For the next several attempts, I hardly use the Charger because I was afraid of repeating those mistakes. When I did use it again on the last loop - to see if I could return to its root - I lost my arm and my Storm Morpher completely." She retold the information. "Is it possible that I should've used the Blaze Charger when necessary or is it that I am not synchronized properly with it?"
