"I've told you before call me King," Ken said leaning against a wall with his arms crossed, smirking.
"And if memory serves, he's told you that he's not doing that multiple times in fact," Teeanna interjected.
"I leave for one recon mission and I come back to Ken irking folks." Joey laughed as he walked into the Goodwill. He had hoped to just find one of his friends but to find all four here was a stroke of great luck. "What's good, guys?!" He addressed his friends, clearly in a good mood as is normally the case.
"I don't suppose that while you were in Japan you came to your senses and are willing to relinquish the Red Ranger Morpher to me?" Ken asked somewhat sarcastically but somewhat serious as well.
Flynn rolled his eyes, shaking his head. "THe day I call you "King" is the day the world fucking ends," he said, looking at Ken. He was thankful for Joey's arrival, and he grinned. "About time you show up, bro. I was about to shove this dude's head in the vent." He resiste the urge to smack Ken upside the back of the head at the Red Ranger comment. "Storm figured you were better for Blue. Get your head out of your ass about "I deserve Red" and shut up. Jesus, Ken."

"Bros it's all good!" In these six months, Joey found himself playing peacemaker... a lot. Ken was definitely an acquired taste and even though most of Ken's vitriol was directed at Joey simply because he has what Ken wants, he still managed to keep the peace and keep the group on the same page most days, which is likely what factored into Storm choosing him to lead the team in the first place. Sure he had the field experience but the way he is with people, tends to stand out if you're around him for more than 5 minutes.
"Ken, so yeah. Sorry to disappoint you Bro but I think I'll hold on to that morpher." Joey let Ken down gently as he addressed the others. "How is everybody? I just got back and figured I'd catch up with y'all."

Ken and Teeanna The day I call you "King" is the day the world fucking ends",
"I'll hold you to that gamer boy" Ken said smirking then he added "And the day I stop going after what I deserve and striving to be the best will also be that same day"
"Geesh I think if he were ever leader I would quit" Teeanna added shuddering at the thought

"Geesh I think if he were ever leader I would quit," Teeanna added shuddering at the thought.
"You and me both, Teeanna," Flynn said, folding his arms. "Can't stand stuck up "I"m so self important" kinds of people. Why Storm picked you is beyond me. Ain't for his winning personality and way with people, that's for damn sure."

"Everything is all hunky-dory. God, no one even says that anymore," Jaguar said before laughing at himself.

Ken and Teeanna
"Storm picked me because he recognizes the skills I bring to this team if I weren't here the team would suffer greatly"
"Oh yes how would we ever survive without your constant incessant yammering about how your King of the universe? The thought alone scares me I think I might faint" Teeanna said her voice dripping with sarcasm "Flynn hold me I'm scared"she made a big show of grabbing onto the green ranger for added comedic effect

Joey laughed at the back and forth, particularly at Teeanna's extra dramatics and Ken's ego that was big enough to fill this entire Goodwill.
"Bro, I'm not going to deny that you've got skills but our training and those scores are way different than actual field work. Have you ever thought that maybe...just maybe you didn't get the shiny red suit is because you're too focused on your own goals and not enough for the team?" Joey was confident in what he brought to the table so Ken's constant yapping didn't bother him as much but he saw that is bugged the other Rangers so, he always set out to drop in those little nuggets every once in a while as a not so subtle reminder.

Ken and Teeanna
"There's nothing wrong with being determined" Ken said then he added "besides I care about this team if I didn't I wouldn't stay on it's hard to make up for all your shortcomings but I manage just fine"
"Our shortcomings!?" Do you even hear yourself!? What about your big shortcoming? Namely an ego so big it could eclipse the Universal Morphing Grid if they somehow made a way to convert arrogance into energy you could power all of Synchro City hell maybe even the whole damn world! She shouted as she let go of Flynn clearly fuming as she got up in Ken's face "Careful Teeanna you don't want to anger me" "Or what? I won't have a place in your court!? Newsflash Ken in case you haven't realized your king of absolutely nothing you don't own land you're not rich you have nothing! So pardon me if I don't feel all that upset if I don't play make-believe with you!" Teeanna stomped on Ken's foot with her heel as she stormed out of the store Ken hopped on 1 foot in pain for a few minutes before the pain subsided and he looked around the store at his fellow Rangers "I don't suppose any of you want to go after her?" He said clearly sheepish
OOC: I was planning on saving Teeanna's blowup for Ken's focus episode but this seemed like an appropriate place to put it I hope that's all right?

"Should I go after her?" Jaguar asked after seeing the fight as he looked at his other teammates.

"Well... that just happened." Joey sighed as he saw Ken get blown up on. "And a lot sooner than expected." He put his hands in his pockets and shook his head when he looked at Ken. When Jaguar volunteered to go after her, Joey was more than happy to pass that buck.
"Go for it!"

"Go for it!"
"I'll go," Flynn said. "I can usually calm her down after His Royal Ingrate screws up. Like just now." He headed for the door, his hand on the metal before stopping and looking at Ken. "You're lucky. If you were any other son of a bitch, I'd be laying your ass out unconscious for yelling at her. Go shove your "I'm superior and better then you" attitude up your ass. Your mama didn't raise no "King". Just a court jester." He took off after Teeanna, catching up to the Pink Ranger. "Hey, wait up."

While the Rangers were going through what seemed like a normal day, a dark force was quickly descending upon the planet. A large ship could be seen hovering in the Earth's atmosphere. Looking down at the Earth was Prometheus, an alien warlord who was drawn to this planet thanks to the pull of the emerging Morphin' Grid and all of the different energy flows ranging from aura energy to spirit energy to chakra energy and that's just the ones that are currently known. "So small." Prometheus spoke in a low tone. "So a small speck in the grand scheme of the universe but so much power up for the taking. If I can seize the power flowing through this planet, I can solidify my place as ruler of the universe!" He said, letting out a sinister laugh. " Vexers!" Suddenly, at least a dozen soldiers came into view, all awaiting their master's command. "Prepare yourselves! This planet needs to be primed for my takeover. Make it so!"

Ken and Teeanna
"I'll go," Flynn said. "I can usually calm her down after His Royal Ingrate screws up. Like just now." He headed for the door, his hand on the metal before stopping and looking at Ken. "You're lucky. If you were any other son of a bitch, I'd be laying your ass out unconscious for yelling at her. Go shove your "I'm superior and better then you" attitude up your ass. Your mama didn't raise no "King". Just a court jester.
Teeanna's outburst combined with Flynn's words left the usually cocky Ken at a loss for words sighing he took a seat on one of the store benches he laughed dryly "the world must have ended sooner than I thought he called me King after all" he looked at the yellow and red Ranger "Be my pals be honest with me am I really that insufferable?" He asked for as long as he could remember Ken didn't really have peers to bounce off of or look up to he was always lonely growing up without friends save for his mother and when she had died from leukemia all he had was her final wish for him during his six months at SPD Ken had not so secretly become enraptured with Teeanna but it looked like all chances of a relationship with her just went up in smoke in a few minutes
Teeanna stopped walking and turned to face Flynn "I assume the Royal pretender is nursing his wounded pride?" She asked Flynn sighing she took a seat on the curb "I didn't mean to blow up at him I just couldn't take that smarmy attitude of his any longer I've already had to put up with it for six months" she said sighing then she turned and smiled at Flynn "so are you trying to be my knight in shining armor to save me from his Royal Arrogance?" She asked I don't know if you know this but I don't have parents at least I don't know who they are and to hear him go on and on about how great his mother was I just couldn't take it anymore you know? She asked

Flynn sat beside Teeanna on the curb. "I told him he was lucky I was more worried about catching up to you. Otherwise I'd have knocked his ass unconscious," he said. "And I'm not trying to be a knight in shining armor. I know how those stories end. Usually with a dragon turning someone into barbecue." He smiled, but saw the look on his friend's face.
"Trust me, I get it. People put their parents on pedastals and take what they say as gospel and dont' want to hear any alternatives. My mother would not put up with Ken's attitude. She'd smack him down the moment he opened his mouth. I gave her lip one time, not realizing I did, and the next day when I was at school, she took everything gaming and fun out of my room. No books, no TV, no music, movies, nothing. Just bare walls and a single book on the desk with a note "Attitude means no fun." Read that Good Book cover to cover and got my stuff back," he said. "I'm sure we can find out who your parents are. We do technically work for the government, y'know? I'm sure we can do it. Everyone deserves to know where they come from."
