Shift Steel: Rise of the Machines (S2)

"Whoa Whoa Whoa. Easy now." Derek went to Tifa, kneeling down next to her. "Don't try to move too quickly. You took one hell of a shot!"

"I'm alright," Tifa said softly, rubbing her chest. "I was too close to Cole when he tried to block, and he ended up getting thrown into me at full force. That shield hit me in the side of the head..."

"Tifa, Cole, you'll both be alright until you get to the Command Center. Ken, any more hallucinations or are you good?" Jax asked.

"Just so long as you come back alive. You're my only thing it matters." Olivier sighs softly, pressing a kiss on the side of her husband's head. She relishes this small moment, knowing she can feel his heartbeat with her hand.

After a full two minutes, the Pink Ranger raises her head at Ken's direction. "And as for you, Princey, don't forget to dump your new trophy. Remember what Jax said earlier, it's dangerous to every technological system including the Command Center and SPD."

"Do we have to come back to the command center for debriefing?" Ken asked slightly annoyed "I can't speak for the newlyweds but there's a bottle of King's Crown Back at SPD Headquarters since mom still won't let me in the house" Ken said frowning

"Bro you don't have to Sleep at SPD I gave you a key to the house for a reason and we always keep the guestroom open for you" Cole said

Jax rolled his eyes, thankful he wasn't around the others. "It's fine. You guys have earnd the rest. See you later." He shut the line off and walked over to a wall, pushing it open before dropping the head into a shaft, watching it fall. "Thankfully taht shaft leads to a furnace. One of Billy's better ideas."

With Ken recovering from the poison and another robotic entity defeated, the Rangers go their seperate ways for the night. For Derek and Amara, the looming doctors appointment is getting closer and with it, a decision about the future of teh Gold Ranger. But, as always, Gasket and AXIM have a different plan up their robotic sleeves, targeting a different color on the team.

It's been a few days since Ken's battle with Asmiov and the use of ghosts agaisnt the Blue Ranger. In that time, Tifa had been checked otu and recovered from her collison with Cole and the Tricera Shield, and today found the Red Ranger near the shores of teh beach taht had been closed off for a photo shoot for a new line of bikinis, the Red Ranger falling back itno her modeling while she wasn't training for any upcoming boxing matches.

Tifa moved and posed the way the photographer wanted, slipping the straps of the top down her arms and giving seductive looks and "flirting" with the camera. After waht felt like hours, the Red Ranger was able to retreat to her "dressing room" which was really just a tent set up facing the beach. She sat down after changing back into her regular clothes, slipping some sandals on before she tucked her Key into her pocket, and her Caller into her purse that she slung over her shoulder. "Maximus, when are these going to be available?"

"Suits or photos, darling?"

"Suits. I've got soem friends that might like these," Tifa said. "And the photos, actually. Got a few other friends that might like those."

"The suits come out commercially next week, but the company is giving you the ones from today and a few others for working with them. So take the ones you used and we've got a duffle with some others in differing sizes if you've got friends that might be interested." the sounds of a keyboard filled the air. "As for the pictures, I'll send you a link with the finished products and you can pick the best taht you like."

"Awesome," Tifa said with a smile. She walked out of the tent and was handed the duffle by an assistant, and she gave a wave as she walked away. Taking her phone out, she made a conference call and dialed the phone, waiting for Amara, Kida, and Olivier.

"Hello?" Amara asked.

"Tifa?" Kida's voice asked.

"Got a question, but I want to wait until Olivier picks up."

The scene shifts to a child's birthday party. There was one kid who recently turned 9 years old having the time of his life, celebrating with friends and family. Things would soon pick up as the gate to the backyard where the party was being held was opened and walking through was DC himself, complete with gift in hand. When he was spotted, some of the children began to scream upon realizing the famous gamer was at this party.

This all came to be after a recent stream that he did to alleviate some stress after having to talk to Amara again to ease her concerns about no longer going into the field as long as she's pregnant. During the stream, one of the viewers informed Derek that his birthday was this weekend. In true Chase fashion, he not only accepted the party invite, but came bearing a sweet gift, although he nearly dropped it when the kids swarmed him asking for selfie. He found the birthday boy and began chatting with him. The boy grew emotional as he thought DC was just being nice on stream and in turn, it made Derek emotional, resulting in the two hugging again before the young CEO integrated himself into the festivities.

Back in their bedroom, Olivier wakes up to the sound of her phone ringing. While she would’ve ignored it, it goes against her principle. So she rolls away from Cole to grab her phone from the nightstand, checking to see it's Tifa.

Wondering, Olivier slowly leaves the envelope of the sheets and her husband and goes to the bathroom here. She's glad she unlocks the handcuffs from her husband before they went to sleep following their "cardio time." Closing the door behind her, she picks up. "Hey, Tifa. What's the sitch?"

Wondering, Olivier slowly leaves the envelope of the sheets and her husband and goes to the bathroom here. Closing the door behind her, she picks up. "Hey, Tifa. What's the sitch?"

"Good morning, Olivier. I've got you conferenced in with Amara and Kida," the Red Ranger said.

"Morning, Liv!" Amara said.

"So, ladies, the reason I'm calling is that I just got done with a swimsuit photo shoot. The designers let me keep the ones I modeled, but they gave me some of the same suits in other sizes, and I was curious if you three would want first picks at the new stuff," Tifa said.

"Oh, hell yeah!" Amara said. "That'd be sweet!"

"Sure, I'm in. Where do you want to meet?" Kida asked.
