Sojiro nodded, "Ikuzo," he said, hearing the call as he cracked his knuckles.

Once Tanjiro and Soujiro leave, Alluka uses the opportunity to talk to Cody. She goes to his side, placing her hand on his shoulder. “You okay?”
Cody sighs, shaking his head. “This is exactly why I keep my thoughts to myself. But, no… M’yrnn and now Tanjiro ask me for it and I pay the price.”
“The pay of price for what? For speaking your opinion?” Alluka implies, her eyebrows furrowed. “I mean at some point we cannot walk on eggshells. With M’yrnn’s arrival, it unravels things we cannot hold back any longer.”
Cody’s jaw clenches, his eyes glue to the pathway. “That's the thing. Kari’s still in denial, Soujiro remains skeptical, Tanjiro wants to knock some sense into me, and M’yrnn wants more answers. Sometimes they don’t understand what’s worse than having no hope. Being disappointed. Getting your hopes up over and over and over again and it never working out. That’s why I can't squash their hopes.”
Alluka purses her lips. “As I said earlier, it is bound to happen. Avoiding it is now over. They may disagree with your opinion, but at least they should respect it. Like I am.”
“And I respect yours.” Cody smiles softly, focusing back to Alluka.
“Given them time. They will have to accept the reality, even if it hurts.” Alluka chuckles lightly and leans in to kiss him, her hand coming up to cradle his face. She pulls back after a moment. "I will be right back.”
“I’ll wait for you." Cody smiles.
Alluka exhales and nods, turning around to leave with the others outside.

After Alluka takes her leave, Cody opts to go to the bridge with Circuit, at least to watch the battle. Taking the couch this time, he extends his healing knee, rubbing it softly as he thinks about his girlfriend's input.

Kari turned when she felt Tan's hand on her shoulder and gave him a nod. "I'm good." She said standing and readying herself. "Let's go put them to rest." She said with a shrug
Sojiro nodded, "Ikuzo," he said, hearing the call as he cracked his knuckles.
Tanjiro nodded, looking over as Alluka and M'yrnn joined them. "We'll handle the twins. M'yrnn--"
"I will see what I can uncover with Arianas," M'yrnn said. "Circuit, do our suits have recording software?"
"Yes. every battle is recorded and archived for use in training for Time Force Command or so that the Commander can study what works in her teams at later dates."
"Good," M'yrnn siad. "Let's go." The Silver Ranger took off, lifting up into the air with his natural powers and headed for the battle.
Tanjiro sighed, shakikng his head softly. "C'mon." He grabbed his Slider and took off, heading up to catch M'yrnn.

"Now I have another flight being to compete against." Alluka smiles fondly, taking her Time Slider with her. Instead of using it though, she takes off with Float so she can catch up with M'yrnn.

Sojiro followed Alluka, by flying through the air to give his Slider a break, catching up with M'yrnn as well. "Don't try to hog up all of the action," he said.

M'yrnn looked at Sojiro. "I do not intend to. I intend on getting into Arianas' mind and finding out the truth," he the said, seeing Tanjiro take the lead. "Get out of the way, Mr. Kamiya."
"One thing you need to learn," Tanjiro said, turning his head to face M'yrnn. "This is my team. I'm Red. I lead. You're Silver. You fall in line behind the rest of us. Sure, your sister might be being controlled by evil, but you don't give orders around here. Got it?"
A blast sent the Rangers scattering, the Red Ranger looking down and seeing Grelios and Hakrin with Arianas. "Come and face us, Rangers!" Hakrin laughed, igniting his hands and blasting at the Rangers again.
"Let's give them what they want," Tanjiro said, flying down and landing. "Arianas. Decided to grace us with your presence?"
Arianas smirked. "You've all been thorns for too--" She stopped, her eyes landing on M'yrnn.
"M'YRNN! BIG BROTHER!!!"
The Silver Ranger smirked. "I knew you were in there," he said. "Arianas. Your fight is with me. I will free my sister from your grip and I will ensure you can bring no more evil to this Time."
"Big talk. Let's see you back it up," Arianas said. "Boys, you handle the foursome. I'll kill the new one myself."
"Let's suit up," Tanjiro said.
"DELTA SQUAD, POWER UP!"
"TIME FOR TIME FORCE!"
The five Rangers quickly morphed, M'yrnn and Arianas sizing each other up while the Duovat faced the remaining four Delta Squad Rangers. Hakrin chuckled and grinned, his flames rising as he ignited his hands again. Grelios was silent, sizing up the Rangers.
"Kari, you and Alluka deal with Grelios. Sojiro, you and I take Hakrin. Avoid the fear poison and the fire if you can," the Red Ranger said.

"Kari, you and Alluka deal with Grelios. Sojiro, you and I take Hakrin. Avoid the fear poison and the fire if you can," the Red Ranger said.
"Alright, let's do it," Sojiro said, summoning his Minos Hammer, ready to fight off Hakrin.

"Understood. Let us proceed, Kari." Alluka says, leading her Pink teammate to fight against Grelios. Since he specializes poisonous nightmares, she'll have to rely on her powers to get through this. The Black Ranger takes out her Delta Dualer to open fire at Greilos.

Cody bites the inside of his cheek so hard as he tries to smooth his hands up his leg. While he does this, he hears the battle on the screen. The more he listens to M'yrnn, the frustrated he becomes over the chances of K'hysh being alive. He hasn't forgotten the last time K'hysh is here. He knows she keeps her promise to return after her trip to Lunar Colonies. He hears Circuit's explanation and everything. It's just... she breaks her promise. Left him behind like everyone else in his life.
Sighing, the Blue Ranger pauses his ministrations and glances up at Circuit. "Hey, Circuit. What do you think of M'yrnn's explanation earlier?" He asks his friend.

"Got it." Kari said then looking to Alluka. "Got your back Luka." She spoke following suit and pulling out her own Dualer and firing. "Any ideas girl?" She asked over her shoulder.

Sighing, the Blue Ranger pauses his ministrations and glances up at Circuit. "Hey, Circuit. What do you think of M'yrnn's explanation earlier?" He asks his friend.
Circuit sighed, looking at Cody as he moved to his "perch" near the main console. "What I'm about to show you, Cody, the Commander swore me to never show anyone outside of Command. This is what happened to K'hysh and the ship on the Moon." He activated the computer, bringing up a video file.
"The Waverunner was damaged but flyable, and when I was able, I found K'hysh's morpher in the rubble. Apparently, when her biological signature was far enough away, her message to Commander Scotts was sent. When I returned back with the ship, she used K'hysh's message and the Morpher to make the narrative that K'hysh was dead, even though she saw this same footage over a dozen times. I never believed K'hysh was dead, because I was there when she was taken. And try as I might to find ways to tell all of you, I was being silenced by Jen at every turn."
_____________
Alright, let's do it," Sojiro said, summoning his Minos Hammer, ready to fight off Hakrin.
"Remember, we need to avoid that fire," Tanjiro said, taking off with Sojiro and heading for Hakrin, slashing out as he got closer.
"Understood. Let us proceed, Kari." Alluka says, leading her Pink teammate to fight against Grelios. Since he specializes poisonous nightmares, she'll have to rely on her powers to get through this. The Black Ranger takes out her Delta Dualer to open fire at Greilos.
"Got it." Kari said then looking to Alluka. "Got your back Luka." She spoke following suit and pulling out her own Dualer and firing. "Any ideas girl?" She asked over her shoulder.
"How about....embrace Fear?" Grelios asked, as he rushed forward while slashing out with his needle-tipped hands, catching Kari's arm before he kicked the Pink Ranger in the chest.

While Cody still believes K'hysh abandons them, the video Circuit displays lessens his resentment a bit. It's going to take a long time for him to come to terms, but what can he do. "Why did the Commander kept this from us?"

"How about....embrace Fear?" Grelios asked, as he rushed forward while slashing out with his needle-tipped hands, catching Kari's arm before he kicked the Pink Ranger in the chest.
"I already embrace fear the moment my childhood innocence is shattered." Alluka rushes forward, blasting Grelios at close range. Switching to her Scale Shield, she slams it against his chest.

Sojiro lets out a yell, swinging his Minos Hammer, aiming to hit him in the stomach.

Kari yelled in pain as she hit the ground. Her head shooting for her arm to see if the nails broke through the suit.

While Cody still believes K'hysh abandons them, the video Circuit displays lessens his resentment a bit. It's going to take a long time for him to come to terms, but what can he do. "Why did the Commander kept this from us?"
"I knew if you all knew the truth, you'd want to go hunting, and I couldnt' have you all going off half-cocked." The hologram of the Commander walked forward, facing Cody. Jen sighed, looking at Cody. "I'm sorry I lied and kept all of this from you all, Cody, but at the time...at the time I thought it could make the transition to a new Red Ranger easier." She sighed again and ran her hand over her face.
"I spent five months combing over every bit of footage, data, report, log, everything from the Colony. Hoping for an answer, hoping for something I could have used to give you all a little hope. But I kept coming up empty. I assumed, now apparently incorrectly, that K'hysh had been taken as a bargaining chip, something to be bartered with. I was wrong. From that footage and what M'yrnn thinks and says, I can with nearly perfect certainty this time, say taht K'hysh is our enemy in Queen Arianas."

Sojiro lets out a yell, swinging his Minos Hammer, aiming to hit him in the stomach.
Hakrin jumped backward and flipped, blasting a fireball at Sojiro before taking a chain from his belt and lashing out, wrapping it around Tan's neck. He dragged the Red Ranger to the ground, igniting the chain and making Tanjiro yell.
"I already embrace fear the moment my childhood innocence is shattered." Alluka rushes forward, blasting Grelios at close range. Switching to her Scale Shield, she slams it against his chest.
Kari yelled in pain as she hit the ground. Her head shooting for her arm to see if the nails broke through the suit.
Grelios laughed, gripping the Shield before staring at Alluka. "Then it's time to get reacquainted," he said, stabbing his needle-like fingers into the Black Ranger's arm.
________________
Down the street, M'yrnn was locked in battle with Arianas, the Queen of the Battalion not giving an inch to the Silver Ranger. M'yrnn held his hand out and blasted the Queen backward, flying forward and going invisible.
"You think using your natural abilities are going to fool me!?" Arianas yelled, eyes glowing as she forced every hydrant on the street to erupt, the water spraying in every direction to let her find M'yrnn. What she didn't account for was the Silver Ranger being right behind her.
M'yrnn stayed still, barely daring to breathe as he found the personality overwrite disk, plucking it from Arianas' neck. He jumped back as the Queen turned and swung, turning visible while holding hte disk up. "Give me back my sister." He crushed the disk, watching Arianas.
The Queen yelled and stumbled, her form shifting between K'hysh and Arianas, but the scream quickly turned into manic laughter. "You think that taking the disk is going to be the thing that gives back your sister?!" she laughed, lashing out and slashing M'yrnn, sending the Silver Ranger flying backward. She launched forward, grabbing him by the throat. "I'm embedded deep into her fucking head, you idiot. She's never coming out!"
"M'yrnn, please! I can't keep fighting!"
"I'm going ot save you, K'hysh. For your sake and the sake of your friends," M'yrnn said. "So....I'm sorry for this." He stabbed Arianas in the shoulder, forcing her to drop him. He hit the ground and sprang to his feet, watching as the Queen screamed and ripped the blade out of her shoulder.

"This is not over, Silver Ranger"!
