Following the lead of the others Sarah demorphed and got in the car. She wanted to ask Alex if he was okay but with how quiet the others were didn't say anything. After a while Kenn was the first to speak up and she wondered how to best respond. "Let's just get this shit over with, I'm already irritated enough." "It's a shame Seis got away but at least none of us are too badly injured, speaking of which are you okay Alex?"

He was finding comfort in silence. It allowed him to better process everything that was happening today plus he didn't feel like arguing in that moment. Surprisingly, the next thing he heard wasn't rage filled nonsense or snarky digs. The voice that rang through was Sarah's, simply asking about his well being which was the nicest thing he had heard in days.
"I'll live." The Red Ranger opened his eyes long enough to address her directly, visibly grateful for the small gesture. "Thank you." He said before laying his head back and closing his eyes again.

The ride back to the Zoo was a bit of a silent one. Every so often Izekial tried to keep things light with a joke or two but it was often followed by the deafening silence. The group reached the HQ as they all filed in.
One again Greywind stood with his back turned to the Rangers this time letting the television speak. On the screen was a man the Rangers had never seen before. But he was wearing military grade armor and had a cigar in his mouth.
"General Matthews... it's no secret you have public disdain for the Rangers. But there can be no doubt they have helped the city against this Gomu being." A reporter argued as the General smirked.
"Helped? HELPED? I can tell from their patterns... they're young... Inexperienced... definitely not soldiers. You think today's events proves differently? They're vigilantes... why haven't they tried to work with the Police? Better yet why haven't they tried to contact the military? We could create an army of Rangers and deal with this threat together. Why haven't they shown their faces? What is there to hide? Do you see how the Rangers create more questions than answers?
I'm convinced they're working WITH Gomu... look at what they did to these buildings behind me... perhaps they should leave things to the military." Matthew's puffed.
Greywind then turned the television off as he turned to face the others, primarily staring at Alex. "Well then..."

Samara looked at the television, feeling like she'd been punched in the chest when the General went off about how they did things. She kicked at the ground, biting her lip softly before shaking her head. "If he had access to these powers...he'd do worse then we did. Military is nothing but bad news. Too many times in history has the military made it worse. Fucking bastard."

Alex expected to get unloaded on as soon as they all got back. His proverbial execution was halted thanks to General Matthews making it clear that he wasn't leading the Power Rangers fan club. He folded his arms, watching until Greywind turned the TV off. Knowing that eyes were on him, the adrenaline junkie rubbed the back of his head.
"I can see him being a major pain in our asses." Alex said nonchalantly.

Honestly Sarah felt like General Matthews had some points but his idea of making an army of Rangers just wasn't feasible and she doubted he would be convinced of that with any explanation on the Spirits they could give him. "I can see him being a major pain in our asses." "Yeah, having someone with his resources and influence oppose us isn't gonna be fun."

Gregory frowned a bit as he looked to the Rangers. "Well he definitely seems to be a sour sport... keeping your identities secret very much must be a priority as well... more than ever. I do fear someone like The General would love nothing more than to run tests on you all and try to create some type of Ranger Corps... I am glad you all are alright. Alex how are you feeling?" Wilde asked sincerely before cut off from Greywind.
"He's right... you all need more training. We'll have to double our efforts... especially your observation skills Alex." Greywind said flatly as he looked to the others. "Seems those stickers are a catalyst for his abilities. What did you all observe?"
Hakim rubbed the back of his head. "Well he definitely has control over the gravity around us... but forsure has to do with those stickers. I dunno how we get around that kind of attack."

"Elephant boy here has a point, that asshole was toying with us. Also that General can suck it, he knows damn well his army can't take on those demons. Who the fuck does he think he is?" Kenn spat out.

"It's more than just gravity control." Alex looked over to Greyhound, not caring about being singled out by the ornery mentor. "He seems to have some form of illusion based power, like a discount Loki with a hell of a poker face." Alex responded, alluding to Seis and him selling those fake people so expertly.

"Yes it would seem he can manipulate the earth as well... sculpted those people he tricked Alex with." Wilde pointed out repalying the footage.
Hakim shook his head. "The guy was tough... but there's gotta be a way to shut him down... Definitely can't afford to get those stickers on us..."

"For the next battle Alex and I are gonna be key I think, by using our Full Beast Counter modes we might be able to attack him in ways he can't predict. Plus by flying and swimming through the earth we should be able to deal with that manipulating ability as well." Sarah hoped that her suggestion didn't upset the others, especially after that whole teamwork speech they repeatedly tried to give the Red Ranger

Samara looked at Sarah and nodded. "Yeah, he'd see me, Hakim, and Kenn coming from a mile away," she said. "That's a good idea, actually. Next time, the three of us can distract him while you two can get close. And hopefully we can do it without broken bones or being buried again. Or Jupiter's fucking gravity."

"It's a good idea. The only thing I'd be worried about is if he tries to manipulate the Earth while you're swimming in it." Part of him wanted to shut the plan down as he didn't want to risk the only one of his teammates who has been actually kind to him throughout this ordeal but he knew that if he went with what he was thinking, it was going to be world war six in this compound. In the end, he tried to go with what he thought was the best decision for everyone. He turned to the remaining four Rangers and sighed.
"Look guys, I have a few things I need to get off of my chest. I know you guys are feeling left out of the action and even though some of you clearly take it more to heart than others..." Alex paused, looking directly at Samara and Kenn before continuing with the group. "That still doesn't change anything. I've always been a solo artist."
"AHEM!"
"I meant it's always been me and Wingsy so it's an adjustment period for me. So I'm sorry for not sharing the load more. With that being said, having Sarah swim through the Earth is risky with Seis and his ability to manipulate it so I'm trusting that you guys can keep him off his toes and keep her safe while she's doing her thing and in turn, I need you all to trust me to take to the skies and put him down when the time comes."

Samara sighed softly. "It's a start," she said, shaking her head softly. "We're supposed to be a team, taking these things down as a team. Guess I'll take what I can get." She shook her head and walked over to the wall, folding her arms and looking still slightly displeased but not as mad as she had been a few hours before.

Hakim looked at the group before looking at Alex. "That's not a bad idea... by now the enemy knows our Full Beast Counters... but hard to defend against something you're not even looking for... With Alex in the sky and the three of us attacking on the same level we might be able to pull this off... but those stickers... there's a chance us three will be faced with that. Alex you'd have to ensure that if we do to provide plenty of fire till Sarah gets the jump on him. Very much could be you two facing him by yourselves. This will take perfect execution. I don't think Seis will be in another sparing mood..."
Izekial raised his hand to speak. "I've tweaked your Blasters to have a rapid fire mode. Definitely will be a boost."
Greywind looked at the group before taking his turn to speak. "Do you each have faith in Alex and Sarah? Faith in the plan? You all must be in sync for this to work... Alex... more importantly do you have faith in your TEAM?"
