Lalah grinned with anticipation, steadying the Chrono Blaze Charger in front. Unlike the previous times where it fluctuated, the Charger now became in sync with her Storm Morpher. “You will not kill my friends again! Farewell Glaciar!" With a yell, Lalah fired a huge fire blast at Glaciar.

Glaciar was determined to beat Lalah to the punch. He opened his mouth and when he got close, he unleash a terrifying ice blast, colliding with the big flame burst, causing a big explosion.
When the smoke settled, it was unsure as to whether the Pink Ranger or Glaciar was victorious. Lalah was laid out, seemingly knocked unconscious from the impact. On the other side, it was unclear until the terrain began to change. The snow was melting with the area returning to normal and hints of debris were spread across the ground, confirming that Glaciar was no more.
"Yeah! She did it!" Mateo cheered while rushing over to the Pink Ranger who should be waking up soon.

Lalah didn't have the chance to escape as Glaciar collided with her Chrono Blaze Charger, resulting a massive explosion. As the smoke settled, the Pink Ranger appeared unconscious from having suffered the impact. Her head was bleeding, her visor cracked, and her Ranger suit became torn and ragged covered in burn marks, larger dried patches of dirt, and even blood. On her dominant arm, all of her fingers were broken, though her index finger had been broken twice by using too much force on the Chrono Blaze Charger. But she’s still breathing. After everything she went through, she was still alive.
Lalah coughed softly, barely opening her eye to see the indistinct forms of her friends. She tried to speak, but she could only say in a rough whisper, “Ow. You... dead?”

"Nope. We're all safe and sound, thanks to you." Mateo gently helped Lalah back to her feet. "We should probably get you out of here so you can get fixed up."

Lalah bit back a groan, feeling the tremendous toll on her battered body as she allowed herself to lean against her friends. When she looked at the surroundings, the terrain seemed to return to normal prior to the hailstorm and she got a clear view of her friends alive and well instead of being mauled into a million pieces. Which meant... the time-loop popped.
"It's over..." Lalah sniffled, and almost laughed. For the first time in such a long time, she finally exhaled. "I'm... free."

Ledger smiled, putting his hand on Lalah's shoulder. "Not bad, girl. Not bad," he said with a smile.
Samara smiled softly, hugging the Pink Ranger from behind. "You did it. I'm proud of you," she said.

"Unless this is one shitty afterlife, I don't think so. Good work, Lalah. Glad you were able to crack the code on this matrix." Leon stated.

Lalah was feeling similar emotion erupting through her. Tears escaped the corner of her eyes, both showing how incredibly happy, but also how miserable. She didn’t know how long she spent in the loop; at a year, maybe? – she didn’t know the answer to. Now that it was over, now that everything was okay… Lalah felt herself crumble from inside out. Somewhere along the way her laughter transformed into sobs. “Oh gods,” her voice shuddering. “Y-You’re all alive. I just... I missed you all so much."

Samara wrapped her arms around Lalah tightly, hoping to give the Pink Ranger a sense of calm. "It's alright now. We're all safe now and you broke the cycle. That's what matters," she said, rubbing Lalah's arm softly. "Everything's ok now. Let's get you up and back on the ship, get you cleaned up and a cup of tea. Alright?"

The Rangers made their way back to The Patricia, relaxing after overcoming Glaciar and the time loop, thanks to Lalah. The Pink Ranger was escorted to the medical room so that the tech can fix her up quickly.
"Looks like we've got some updating to do." Mateo said, while keeping an eye on Lalah.
"You and me both. The TMB will want to know about this and the field data will allow me to adjust the charger so that it won't have any kick back any more." Sensei spoke through the intercom on the ship.

Lalah sighed heavily as she allowed Sensei to tend to her right away at the Med Bay. Living that same day all over again took the toll on her completely; to the point she wanted to sleep. As she stared at her morpher, she felt proud she made it out alive. The main things that mattered was everyone was alive and the rest would have to wait.

"I'll say this. Lalah's definitely gonna have some inspiration for artwork after a day like she had." Leon stated as he stood on the side of Mateo.

Ledger nodded, sitting down and sighing. "And we're not dead," he said.
Samara stood outside of medical, watching over Lalah. Her heart hurt for the other woman, and she hoped that in time, her friend could work past all of the horrific things she'd had to endure stuck in her loop. "Stronger then me, girl..."

With the day saved and Lalah on the mend, the Rangers were able to move forward, learning, growing, and becoming stronger as a unit. They would need all of their strength as Calen was growing more deadly and dangerous, but more help was on the horizon, and it would be coming sooner than they think.
****
A week has passed since the time loop and battle against Glaciar. The Rangers were all at TMB HQ, each off doing their own thing.
Mateo was walking down one of the hallways alongside Bishop.
"So that data about the time loop has been analyzed." Bishop said. "If Calen is creating creatures that powerful, then we need to strengthen our efforts."
"Does that mean what I think it means?!" Mateo's eyes widened like a kid about to go to McDonald's.
Bishop chuckled. "It does, Teo. You've been cleared to add a new Ranger to the team."
"Yes!!!" Mateo pumped his fist.
"We'll have more details soon. But for now, you can start to wrap your head around a new voice in the Patricia."
"That's awesome." Mateo smiled. While he loved his teammates dearly, he was itching to fire up those remaining four energems and make some new friends.

Leon was in the gym at the TMB working on his hand to hand combat with a sparring simulation. After a while he decided to take a break to get some sips of water before starting back up.
