Alluka recovers in time to see Vakras aiming his weapon at them. "Everyone, destroy his weapons!" Converting her Axe to its charged form, the Black Ranger throws it towards his hands, effectively dropping his weapon.
Vakras' gun hit the ground, but instead of it being useless, the stock split and became a stand, the gun starting to swivel on it's own and firing at the Rangers and Silver Guardians. "Should have known my gun wouldn't be useless without me!" he laughed, shaking the pain out of his hands before driving a kick into Kari's chest, backhanding Alluka at the same time.
_________
Using the lessons he learn from his girlfriend, the Blue Ranger twirls around him, driving a crescent kick to the face with his good leg following up with a one-two punch and an elbow jab. Unfortunately for him, the more he keeps fighting, the higher chance he'll be tired due to his earlier injuries.
Galilee hit the ground and popped back up, kicking Cody in the face before swinging out and hitting him in the leg, knocking he Blue Ranger to the ground. He picked up the fallen Dualer, spinning it before firing a shot, hitting Cody's hurt leg before stepping on his chest, pinning his old friend to teh ground.
"Never did learn to mind your surroundings," he said, firing again and hitting Cody in the shoulder. "Now I'm toying with you. I want you to suffer before I kill you."

"Ah!" Kari cried after the kick. She then start leaping around dodging shots from the gun. Leaping onto a dumpster, she pulled her bow and fire several arrows at the gun on the ground. "On it." She called to her team and Eric.

Alluka grits her teeth as she slides to a stop. Blinking her eyes, she sees the blasts coming right at her, forcing her to leap behind a nearby vehicle to protect herself. Then she sneaks around the rest of until she's behind the monster, slamming her shield at Vakras before cross-slashing him to the neck. "Keep up the pressure everyone!"

"Never did learn to mind your surroundings," he said, firing again and hitting Cody in the shoulder. "Now I'm toying with you. I want you to suffer before I kill you."
Cody’s body crashes to the ground as he forcefully demorphs. Pain… This is all he feels. He is sure his left leg lost its function; he can barely move as he watches Galilee hunch over him, pressing his foot against his chest. The Blue Ranger cries out as he feels the pain from the same humerus area; he’s starting to lose focus, black spots begin to close in. He tries to move but can’t.
Just as Galilee about to make additional contact, Rolo briefly appears from one of hiding spots to throw the dumbbells squarely at Galilee's head for a good measure, giving Cody a chance to escape. Once the boy runs back to the shadows, the Blue Ranger musters enough strength to slice his former friend's legs before he hard uppercuts him with his uninjured hand. "You were saying. Don't ever underestimate me!"

Vakras growled, staggering forward before twisting around. He grabbed Alluka's shield as it came at him again, flipping the Black Ranger over his head and slamming her into Sojiro. "ENOUGH!"

Galilee yelled as he hit the ground, cracking his skull on the concrete floor after Rolo's assault and Cody's flip. He slowly got to his feet, coughing and wiping blood from his face. "You stupid little bastard!" he snarled. He grabbed a pole and swung out, hitting Cody's arm before going for Rolo. "I'm going to make you watch, Cody, as I rip the last remaining family member from this life."

Sojiro took the hit when Alluka slammed onto him by Vakras, "Kuso!" he yelled. "'Luka, are you alright?"

Coughing out some blood, Alluka rolls away from Soujiro. "I will be. As soon as I have Cody and Rolo safe with me." She responds, mustering enough strength to stand on her feet. "The pressure we have been doing is becoming too much for Vakras. As soon as we find his actual weak point, we finish him." She explains to the group. Then she charges forward to attack Vakras with her shield.

"I'm going to make you watch, Cody, as I rip the last remaining family member from this life."
Cody slumps to the ground, hardly hearing Galilee through the stinging static that was clouding his brain. And through the static, he remembers being bashed completely. Instances when Galilee has time tests the "itch" on an abandoned mountain, on the streets, his parents. Everything he does is to scratch it away.... until he decides to control it. Fighting for himself. The itching returns with a wretched vengeance, almost putting Cody down for good, but unlike last time, he has something new. Clarity.
In the shadows, Rolo searches for a way to override to system in order for him and his uncle to escape without the result of explosion. Just when he stops at the exit, he turns around to see Galilee coming right at him, only for his uncle to body slam him instead. Moving away, the boy watches his uncle ramming Galilee against the emergency exit, the electricity surging through them like a Pokemon Trainer getting fried by an electric-type Pokemon.
"Let me OUT!" Cody barks against Galilee, feeling electricity coursing though his body. A grunt is punched out of him. But he pushes through, pushes for Galilee to open the door so he and Rolo can leave. "LET...ME...OUT!"

Then she charges forward to attack Vakras with her shield.
Vakras growled, twisting and using his armor to block Alluka's shield. "Why can't you understand that your little boyfriend is destined to die today!?" he asked, spinning and kicking Alluka in the side, jumping back and snapping his fingers, his gun recalling to his hand as he opened fire again. "He'll die, the boy dies, and the Battalion--!"
A shot of lightning hit Vakras in the back, sending the assassin to his knees. He turned to see Warlord Stolkan stepping forward. "You insignificant little cretin," the Battalion general growled, his voice shaking the nearby trees. "Your mission was to kill the Rangers. And you cannot do that properly at all. You are no assassin."
"Stolkan...you bastard..."
Stolkan chuckled, holding his hand out, a sword forming from the lightning gathering around him. "Rangers. This is not a declaration of a truce. This is merely us ridding our forces of a weak link," he said. He raised his sword and brought it down, slashing Vakras in the chest, sending him flying backward where he fell and combust. "Your friends will be out soon."

"Let me OUT!" Cody barks against Galilee, feeling electricity coursing though his body. A grunt is punched out of him. But he pushes through, pushes for Galilee to open the door so he and Rolo can leave. "LET...ME...OUT!"
"I...will...not!" Galilee growled, driving a knee into Cody's crotch, knocking the Blue Ranger off of him. He hit his knees, coughing and spittin out blood. "We're going to die together, Cody!"
"Pathetic." A shimmering figure formed in the middle of the gym, Queen Arianas walking forward. "Galilee, you disappoint me. You were told to kill them. Not play with your food. A pity that you couldn't do that right. Your mind was going to be a stable of our army, but I see that you let your obsessions get in the way of your duties."
"Arianas. You have to listen--!"
Arianas held her hand out, lifting Galilee into the air as she cut off his airway. She turned to look at Cody and Rolo, tilting her head softly.
"CODY!" A familiar voice rang out in the Blue Ranger's head. Later he'd understand what--and more importantly who--it was.
Arianas' eyes glowed, the traps around the gym detonating but not catching anything on fire. "Blue Ranger. Take your nephew and leave. I will deal with this trash. This is a mercy today, Mr. Thoumeaux. Do not expect this a asecond time." She flexed her fingers, taking Galilee by the throat. "His "traps" are destroyed. You are free to leave this place. Go. Before I change my mind."

"Understandable. We'll be seeing you again." Kari said dropping off the dumpster and joining her friends, helping those to their feet that needed it.

Rolo runs over to his uncle’s said and kneels beside him. He manages to turn him over and hold him up to a sitting position. The boy is about to look at Galilee when his uncle stops him. “Don’t look” is all he hears from him. While he will do the opposite, this is one of these times where he complies because the next thing he listens is a gurgling sound nearby along with an another unfamiliar voice.
“I’m not looking. I’m not looking.” The boy chants, trying to override the sounds and just focus on getting his uncle up. While he doesn’t even notice his uncle’s shocked expression, he does listen next is, “M-Move. N-n-now.”
“Got it.” Rolo replies. Together they run towards the exit as fast as their legs will carry them as the ceiling above them begins crumbling down.
________
Alluka doesn’t know how she feels about this. It’s different than what she and her team deal with Nausis and her prisoner army. Instead, her eyes shift towards Cody and Rolo running out of the building. With her feet on the mind of its own, it leads the Umekian to crash into them with just enough momentum that they fall together.
“A-Alluka, that you?” Rolo asks, with his face press against the Black Ranger’s suit.
Alluka sighs with relief and wraps one arm around Rolo, running her hand through his hair to calm him down. “It is me. It is me, Rolo.” She feels Cody fluttering against her other shoulder. "L-Luka?"
"Yes, Cody?"
"I t-told you I c-c-come b-back." Cody slurs in a whisper, his eyelids slowly drooping as his body surrenders to fatigue.
Alluka nods her head, blinking her tears. "I know you do." She holds the love of her life tight, so tight and Cody’s weak fingers grasp Alluka’s side. "I am here. I am here."
"Ah..."

Eric walked up, his suit falling away. "Let's get him in the truck and back to medical. Dr. Frost will know how to help him," he said. He looked at Rolo, giving the young boy a small smile. "Are you ok, Rolo?"

With Varkas' defeated Sojiro gets himself back up to his feet and met up with his team, relieved to see Cody and Alluka reunited as well as Rolo. "Yokatta," he said with a soft smile.

Rolo takes a moment to gaze his uncle's beaten form. Even when he k- leaves his dad and mom behind, he went through hell to bring him home. It's going to take him a long time to properly understand his uncle, but today it makes him appreciate him.
When Eric asks him if he's alright, he nods while wiping the tears away with his hand, his other hand remains clutched to Alluka’s suit. "I-I will be." He answers truthfully. "As soon as Uncle Corduroy is okay."
Alluka takes in on her boyfriend. He appears to be torn and ragged covered in larger dried patches of blood and dirt. One arm was fractured. On the other arm, it's broken twice just like his leg, most likely from using too much force. They may have been shattered, but she can't confirm them until Kiara takes a look at him. His wrecked body has finally given into unconsciousness because he is lying still on the ground with his eyes closed, but when Alluka presses his fingers on the side of Cody’s neck, she finds a pulse. He's alive.
Looking at Rolo, the Umekian gives him a reassuring smile. "Come on. We will get ourselves fixed."
"Okay." Rolo replies softly.

"Welcome back to the fold Rolo." Kari said giving him a soft pat on the head. "Glad you're safe." She finished before looking to Cody and giving him a nod. "I'm glad you're safe as well." She aid smiling as her suit faded.

"Cody has passed out, but I will give him your regards." Alluka says to Kari with an understanding smile. With Rolo's help, she manages to carry her boyfriend up in bridal style while allowing the boy to cling to her side.
"Thank you, Miss Kari. And... thanks everyone." Rolo acknowledges everyone for their help. For someone who's been on his own for the past few years, he realized there's people in the world who care about him to the point they will go great lengths to bring him back safely. Now he needs to think about the new information regarding his uncle. "Let's leave. Please."

Eric nodded, the Guardians getting in the jeeps while the Rangers took off on their bikes, Cody's following behind thanks to the automated systems. The Jeeps pulled up at Silver Guardians HQ, a medical team taking Cody and Rolo.
Two hours later, Wes stood outside of the room while the rest of the Rangers gathered. Kiara and Aiko walked out, both women taking off the protective covers they were wearing to deal with Cody's injuries.
"Alluka," Aiko said. "Cody's sleeping right now. His injuries from before reopened and some bones rebroke, but we got everything stitched, set, and fixed up. He'll be on bedrest for a few days, but other then that he's lucky to be alive. Some of what Galilee did to him was....honestly, some of it makes me wonder how he survived. As for Rolo, hes' rather shaken up but he'll be ok in the long run."
