"Thanks guys." Cody acknowledges his friends. In the midst of despair, he sometimes need a reminder that he has friends and his girlfriend around the corner to help, even if he holds resentment towards K'hysh for leaving, which he'll keep it to himself. Then he glances at Kari, knowing he has to address this quickly before Erik finds the location. "By the way, Kari, it's never your fault for what happened last time. Don't let the battalion get under your skin. They're trying to mess with you." He explains to his Pink teammate. "I forgive you, okay."
Alluka nods her head in agreement. "Kari, while I am slightly mad what you done, I do know it is not on you. Have I been in your position, I would end up doing the same." She says. "What you can do next time is do not allow them to mess with your head and think critically. You are excellent at surprising everyone by your abilities."

Galilee laughed, looking at Rolo. "You really don't know, do you?" he asked. "What really happened in that lab fire?" He shook his head and grinned. "Why I want Cody is simple, kiddo. He walked out on our group. And we had one rule. "Don't turn your back" and that's what he did. He went running into Time Force's arms with his brain all scrambled like an egg, and he became a lapdog to the System. Running around for that bitch in High Command and doing what she wanted and getting shit on all the time for it."
Rolo scowls, thinking about this day. He remembers vividly how after he does his show-and-tell for class, the principal brings him to the office here a social worker is waiting for him as well. After this it becomes a blur. Then he recalls his earlier discussion with Alluka and Tanjiro, about the mention of his uncle's fear of his reaction if he asks him and even his amnesia. Biting his lip, he answers as cool as he can. "I don't see a big deal. Time Force helps him. It brings him to me and Alluka and their friends. Being a Power Ranger makes him happy." He says with a half-shrug. "As for the fire, you saw it didn't you? What do you even know? I'm sure Uncle Corduroy tries to save them as he can."

Galilee laughed, doubling over and holding his ribs. "Try and save them!? He set the damn fire!" he laughed. "I was there when he did it. Revenge to stop the itching. It ain't a cure-all forever, but carving out the thing that makes you itch, ahhhh DAMN is it a satisfaction like you haven't ever known, kid. Uncle Cody ain't so innocent as you think, is he?"
Vakras looked up, aiming down his sight and pulling the trigger, shattering a window as a spark was seen over the edge of the concrete. "Something outside." He got up and stacked some boxes, stepping up and punching out the glass, aiming and looking around. "The Silver Guardians. If they're here, the Rangers ain't gonna be far behind."
"Let them come. Cody'll come running for the kid, and the moment he tries and leaves, the DNA sequencing will read it isn't him."

Of all the things Rolo hears, this is the one that shakes him to the core. Corduroy, his own Uncle, the hero he looks up to most, is the one who kill his dad and mom. Is this why he can't remember after? Is this why he hasn't come for him? He shakes his head in denial, his eyes blinking with tears. The boy is left shaken by this revelation that he doesn't hear Vakras saying the Rangers will be on their way to save him.

Kari looked at Cody and Alluka and shook her head with a soft sigh. "I am truly sorry." She said letting her face drop to the ground. "Easier said then done honestly, but I am working on it. I swear to be better in the future." She said looking back to her team.

Wes's tablet went off and he tapped the message. "Eric?"
"Found the kid. That armored monster shot out the drone, but we had visual. Sending coords and waiting for the Rangers."
"Got it. Any chance of it being tapped or trapped?" Wes asked.
"Initial scans weren't picking anything up, but if this guy's as cunning as Jen says, I'm willing to bet the gym's rigged somehow."
"Right. Thanks, Eric. I'll send the Rangers," Wes said, ending hte call. "Alright, Eric's got eyes on Rolo. Galilee's in there with Vakras. We don't know if the place is rigged in some way, but we're going on the assumption that it is. Everyone be careful.'

Alluka wraps her arm around Kari to comfort her. "I know you will."
Upon hearing the news of Rolo's location, the Umekian glances at her boyfriend. "Cody, you know what to do?"
Cody doesn't need to answer the question. As busted as his body is, he won't rest until he has his nephew back in his arms. Moving away, he keeps his body steady as he nods eventually. "Yes. I'll be careful." He answers before he walks to the exit. "Can't stand by and do nothing when my kid's in danger."

Kari hugged Alluka back and smiled softly before hearing the commander. "Well, let's go get out junior ranger back!" She said with a smile to her team.

Sojiro smirked, slamming his hand into his open palm, "Alright. Let's get go get him," he said to Kari.

Wes smiled. "Go, Rangers. But be careful. If this Galilee is working with the Battalion, who knows what tricks or traps he might have in store while with Vakras," he said.
The Rangers left, returning to the garage where their bikes waited, each already programmed with the location of hte abandoned gym. Once on, the four took off, setting out to stop Vakras and get Rolo back, and even get some answers from Galilee. Upon arriving at the gym, Eric looked at the four as they got off of their bikes.
"Rangers. Eric Myers. Sorry it's taken us so long to meet," the Quantum Ranger said. "Just four of you? Where's Red?"

Kari looked at the others after getting off her bike and Eric introduced himself. "Red is recovering from a gun shot to the chest." She said with a light shrug. "We got this." She said with a smile to him. "Nice to meet you as well." She finished.

It doesn't take long for Rolo to hear sirens from outside. In the midst of turmoil, he peers through the cracked window, and sure enough, there's the Silver Guardians, his friends, and even his uncle. He tries to move his head away before the others see him, unfortunately he's not fast enough as he locks eyes at his uncle for a fleeting moment.
________
"Eric, what is the situation and what can we do to enter?" Alluka asks, doing her best to be calm for her boys.
Cody has to remain still as he stares at the gym, looking for a sign where Rolo is. As much as he wants to barge in to demand answers from his old friend, he has to be calm and collected, strong for him. Eventually he lock eyes against what seems to be Rolo. "I found you!"

Galilee looked over at Rolo, seeing his head turn from the window and he started laughing. he walked over and looked out. "Come on inside, Cody. Time to talk!"

"Nice to meet you, Eric," Sojiro said respectfully, then looked at Alluka and nodded to her question. "Is there anything we need to know?" he questioned.

Galilee looked over at Rolo, seeing his head turn from the window and he started laughing. he walked over and looked out. "Come on inside, Cody. Time to talk!"
Cody refuses to give in, knowing the tricks Galilee uses to lure him in. He may think he will barge in with no regard, but he underestimates his willpower. He shifts his focus to the others so they know right away. "Rolo's in there alright. So is Galilee." He informs them, his hand trailing to his chest to scratch lightly. "He's waiting for me. Trying to bait me inside so we can settle the score."
Alluka briefly glances between Cody and Galilee from a distance. Now that she sees who he is, he's going to face her wrath as well. Just like her boyfriend, Rolo worms his way into her painful heart, healing her childhood soul with his curious and intuitive nature and his love for magic. "And now we know, we will do this quick." She says to Cody, before shifting her focus back to Eric, waiting for his answer.

"We will get him out, I promise" Kari said placing a hand on Cody's shoulder lightly. "So do we have a plan Eric?"
