Nolan punched in the coordinates took one look back before saying.."You make it back in one piece or I swear when I get to the afterlife, I'm kicking your ass. Capice?" Nolan said as he took off behind the others to the coordinates.

Zeo's patience was being tested with the Rangers all flying in different directions.
"They're trying some tricky shit!" Garland cried.
"Joey wants to draw us away." Zeo sniffed out what the Rangers were planning almost immediately. The Eltarian elite knows that he has the firepower with the superior vessel but the Red Ranger is trying to divert their attention.
"What's the call?" Garland looked at Zeo on what he wanted to do.
"If he wants to go out in a blaze of glory.... I'll light him up myself!" The Eltarian ship gave chase to Joey. The two air vessels zipped through the sky with Zeo's ship gaining ground. The Red Ranger had to think fast, otherwise, he was all kinds of burnt toast.
"Shit I can't shake him! I've gotta think of something!" At that moment, a crazy idea popped into the Red Ranger's head. Taking his flyer, he flew straight up as high as he could. Once he felt that he was high enough he started on his descent, heading right towards the Eltarian ship.
"Is he trying to sacrifice himself?!" Garland shouted. "He's crazy!"
"FIRE!" Zeo wasted no time on a potential sacrifice. He opened fire, causing the Red flyer to maneuver under the Eltarian ship and out the other side, heading in a different direction. "You're not getting away from me!" The Gold Guard continued to fire on Joey's vehicle. Xavier saw something irregular on the sensors. He made sure nobody was looking and used his body to shield the side panel from Zeo and Garland's view.
Another minute had passed of the aerial chase and an alarm went off on the ship.
"What is that!?" Zeo cried. "Why are we slowing down?"
Xavier pinpointed the disturbance to the rear thrusters. "Zeo....sir, the rear thrusters have been disabled!"
"That's impossible! There are no other ships in the sky and the Red Ranger's flyer doesn't have weaponry. Bring the thruster on screen!"
Doing as he was told, Xavier brought up the visual, only to see that the Red Ranger was hanging on to his ship, using his free hand to blast the thrusters, taking them out of commission.
"He must have put his vessel on auto pilot. Damn him!" Zeo punched the center panel out of frustration, causing even more of a ship malfunction.
Joey's flyer hovered in front of the Eltarian ship with the Red Ranger now standing on top of his vehicle with his arms folded. "Suck on that for a while!" Joey flipped off Zeo with two middle fingers. "I'll see you soon bitch!" Joey jumped inside of his flyer and sped off like a rocket, safe from the Eltarian ship chasing him... for now.
Left with no option to currently chase, Zeo let out a primal roar and kicked the panel out of frustration.

Some time passed and the Rangers all arrived at the coordinates which turned out to lead to the remains of the Command Center which was also the place where they got their powers. Outside of Jenn, none of the other three guys had been here so now they finally had a chance to see the place where it all began for themselves.
"So this is the Command Center I've heard about. We definitely didn't have anything like this in Corinth." Even though there wasn't much left, the Gold Ranger could tell that this place was a big deal just by the aura.

After the escape from the destruction, Daniel flew his way to the location he never thought to see. Examining what's left of the Command Center, the Silver Ranger became awed by this discovery. "I've seen pictures of these before and now I'm actually observing it up close." Daniel whispered in fascination. "Wait until I tell Val about this. She'll be so excited."

Unlike Dan and Memphis who were seeing the ruins of the Command Center for the first time, the sight of this place was all too familiar for Jenn who was here originally with Kenny and Andros for the first time to obtain the Drive Morphers and the last time there was any spec of peace before this adventure kicked off into high gear. She sat back in her seat, taking it all in and realizing just how much has changed with her becoming stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally. While she was not fond of the beginning, she was thankful for what she has now are life long friends and Nolan who she couldn't see her life without.

After the escape, Nolan flew to the location that he only seen in documentary videos. The command center. Nolan landed the flyer as he walked inside of what was left. "This is ranger holy land. Many missions, decisions, planned right here. Zordon, Alpha, the mighty morphin power rangers, zeo rangers, and the last to grace these ruins, Turbo. So much history in this one place." Nolan said as he was awestruck. "Incredible." Nolan said. "It's a little saddening that no one had brought it back to its former glory..." Nolan said as he looked around.

"Right now, it's the only place where we can catch our breath." After all of the flyers were safely landed outside of the Command Center ruins, the Rangers went inside and the Gold Ranger removed his helmet and held it in his right hand.
"We need to figure out what the next move is.... and hope Commander Finley was able to get out with as many people as possible."

"I'm sure he's taking care of that along with Dr. Manx and Commander Storm." Daniel assured his Gold comrade before taking off his helmet. "As for our next move, given Zeo's descent to darkness he will not rest until we are all destroyed. So is Garland." He said. "As for Xavier, I do not know if he's changed as well."

"I've been thinking about our escape," Jennifer said. She took off her helmet and ran a hand through her hair. "Why didn't they attack us right as we appeared in the flyers? They had to have figured out that we would have some way of escaping. It seemed like it took longer than it should have for them to start firing at us."

"That's an easy one. He tried to convince us to give up our powers." Memphis answered, explaining why Zeo didn't immediately fire again. "If an instant kill was the plan, Garland wouldn't have been parading through Delta Command, going on a slaughter fest." The Gold Ranger sighed, gripping his helmet tightly in his right hand. "Plus I'm sure he was confident that if we didn't surrender, he would have been able to end us right then and there."
"I guess we should be lucky that Zeo is an overconfident piece of shit." With the Rangers so deep in thought and discussion, they didn't notice Joey arrive until he said something. He took his helmet off and took a deep breath now that he finally had a second to relax.

When Daniel turned around to see Joey, he let out a wide grin. "I knew you came back!" He said proudly before walking over to him. 'I'm glad I believe in you.' He thought to himself.

Nolan removed his helmet as like the others. He was listening to everyone speak their peace until one voice separated the air as Nolan turned to see Joey survived and made it to the command center. Nolan put his helmet under his arm and walked up to Joey and gave him a bro hug-handshake combo. "I guess someone didn't want that ass kicking in heaven?" Nolan said making a joke.

Jennifer smiled as she heard Joey and she turned around. She went over to join Nolan. "I knew you'd make it," she said giving him a hug.

"Nope. Jules is crazy strong when she gets emotional." Joey joked...partially. "And thanks. It's good to see I have so many cheerleaders." He joked again, smiling at the team.
"It's good to see you not dead." Memphis shared a fist bump with the Red Ranger. "So what's the move?"
"First, we need to assess the damage and see who we have left." Joey raised his morpher up to his face. "This is Joey, can anyone read me? Is anyone there? Hello!?"
Silence filled the room as the Rangers waited with weighted breath, hoping to see hear an answer of any kind.
"I hear you loud and clear, Joey!" Commander Finley's voice rang through causing a wave of relief to rush over the Red Ranger.
"Do you have an update on anyone else?" Memphis spoke up.
"Yeah. Jack and the doc are with me. We managed to get out in the Go-Buster and evacuate as many as we could before Delta Command blew up. Unfortunately, based on the numbers we have now, we lost at least half, if not more people who worked in that building either by Garland's hand or by that explosion." Commander Finley trailed off for a moment, feeling horrible for all of the people that were lost due to this siege. Did the rest of the team make it out?" Finley asked aloud for all to hear.

"Yes we all did, Commander. Safe and sound." Daniel responded, relieved that Finley, Storm, and Dr. Manx were alive with other survivors. Yet he was also saddened that everyone else were perished during and after the collapse of the Delta Command.

Nolan was relieved to hear Finley's voice and knowing that Manx and Storm were OK as well. "Good to hear your voices guys. Now, I don't know about you guys but Zeo and the freakshow are gonna comb this city trying to find us. We aint got much time. What do we do?" Nolan said as he started to grow concerned.
