Derek wasn't the biggest fan of their business being interrupted by someone outside of the team, something Boss would never do unless it were an emergency. Even though he ate on the flight, he found it rude not to accept the food offering, so he grabbed a donut. "Thank you!"
When Cole began asking about Boss, he perked up a bit. "No, she's like this all of the time. Between anticipating my needs before I even know I need, working by my side with the business, and even knowing when it's time to make her presence felt and when to fall back. Hell, if I didn't have a secure girlfriend, I'd probably be in trouble right now." Derek chuckled.

While Olivier eats her donut earlier, she knows if she declines the offer, she'll feel bad or even has to deal with Wendy's persistence. So she accepts another glazed donut from her husband's personal assistant. "Thank you, Wendy." She acknowledges politely.

Cole started to reach for another doughnut when he stopped suddenly remembering what Ken had said "legacies" Cole whispered to himself
"Come on now boss the doughnut won't bite you unless you want Olivier to feed you or something" Wendy chuckled
"Hey bro what's my legacy?" The green Ranger asked
“huh?” The self proclaimed King asked
“You said everyone around this circle has a bad ass legacy behind them what's mine?" Cole asked the blue Ranger
"Well you know Jax and Kida are former Rangers I come from a family of Rangers with SPD your wife is a former Ranger"… The blue Ranger started but Cole held up a hand interrupting him "I didn't ask about everyone else I asked about me" a slow realization dawned on the green Ranger "oh my God you don't remember do you?"
Ken chuckled nervously "of course I remember your parents were scientists they studied the universal morphing grid" the blue Ranger said confidently
For the love of all things holy Ken don't put your foot in your mouth Wendy thought to herself
"And what else?" Cole asked
"What else is there? Let's not get ahead of ourselves not like your parents were influential or anything they weren't Billy Cranston or anything like that" the blue Ranger chuckled reaching for a doughnut
A look of unimaginable pain crossed Cole's face this might have more than last year when Ken called him a leech at least then he Was being honest
“Still the same old Ken" Cole whispered at first shaking his head in disbelief
"Let me educate you on something in a way you can understand real power and legacies don't need to flex or beat their chests constant my family might not be as well known as yours or have a spot in the Ranger Museum but if you ask Billy Cranston or anyone else in the scientific community they'll tell you how influential my parents were but you don't care because even after all this time your egomania is out of control" Cole said bluntly
"cut me a break Cole train I didn't mean it as an insult remember we're already equals" Ken said trying to save face
"Then treat me like your equal you think you're the only one with parental issues!?" The green Ranger turned to Kida and Jax as well as his wife "because we are celebrating Moze's life out of respect for her I'm not going to punch Ken today but I need to cool off before I scream the green Ranger said to the three

Amara sighed as she watched Ken return to his old ways of sticking his foot in his mouth and insult his brother. She shook her head, folding her arms. "Ken, you really are an asshole. You'd think after a year, you'd stop being such a dick. Good to see you haven't changed," she said, rolling her eyes as her voice dripped with sarcasm. Kida shook her head. "Now would be a good time for a battle...." she muttered. As if God was showing his sick sense of humor, a burst of lightning hit the ground, AXIM, featuring a new body, and Gasket appearing with a horde of Cogs. "I really need to keep my mouth shut." "Well, well, well. Hello, Rangers!" AXIM chuckled, bringing her hammer to her hands. "How fortunate to find you here." "AXIM," Jax said, standing up and facing the three mentor's creation. "Still on this Gasket controlled warpath?" "Yes. Because I will not rest until you're all dead. Like the new body? I figured if I was going to start a war, I'd better treat myself and do a little upgrading. Took longer then I planned, but at least I look amazing," AXIM said with a smirk. "What do you want?" Amara asked. "The general destruction of anything fleshy," AXIM said. "Right, darling?" She looked at Gasket. "Of course. And with our newly improved Cogs, I'm sure it'll be easier then ever," Gasket chuckled. "Do you really think you're about to stop us, Rangers? Isn't there one missing?" AXIM walked forward, pushing the Rangers out of her way and shoving past Ken, knocking the Blue Ranger to the ground hard. "Oh, I found her. Little Miss Mozey. Well, good thing your backbone isn't here," she laughed, kicking the headstone and shattering it. "She wasn't a very good Ranger anyway. Too emotional. Just like all of you humans." "And now you've done it." Amara reached into her bag, taking out her Sablaster and Ranger Gear. "I don't know about y'all, but I'm itching to suit up again."

Cole was just about out of the graveyard when AXIM and the cogs appeared "Good I could use something to hit Wendy get out of here!" The personal assistant wasted no time scrambling back to the car and locking the door Cole held his hand out calling for his Shift Steel Caller and Ranger key "that's what I'm talking about! Shift up open the lock!" Cole exclaimed turning the key Transforming into his Ranger form
Although the green Ranger probably knew that talking was futile tried anyway "AXIM please I know about what it's like to feel overshadowed by someone I'm sorry We took you for granted when you were our ally But you don't have to do this" Cole tried to explain to the revil robot

Derek shook his head at Cole aggressively morphing then trying to shift gears and talk peace which seemed a bit backwards. Still, Amara had the right idea. Unfortunately, he was right about there being something more and that was in the form of AXIM's new body.
"AXIM, you picked a bad day to come for us." Derek held his hand out, allowing his Silver Shifter to materialize in his hands. "I promise we'll do what we can do help you but that new body of yours is getting scrapped. Guys, let's Ranger up!" Derek made the call, stepping back into familiar territory with Moze being gone.

"Forget it Cole AXIM had her chance Derek has the right idea Ken said holding his hand out as his Shift Steel Caller and Ranger Key return to him "Shift up open the lock!" the blue Ranger exclaimed transforming immediately going on the attack lashing out with his Shift Steel cutlass And pistol going for the group of soldiers first
Kida, Jax, Get back to base it's not safe here for you guys without your powers!" the blue Ranger said

Between Ken being a typical asshole, AXIM's return, and Cole's impulsive transformation, Olivier rubs her temples and blows a sigh. "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
So Olivier takes out her Caller and Key. "Understood! Shift Up, Open the lock!" She call out as she transforms to the Pink Ranger for the first time in over a year.

As Cole waited for AXIM To respond to his olive branch one of the cogs attacked him the green Ranger narrowly dodged the attack for the green Ranger this battle was just as much mental as it was physical stay loose don't let your emotions cloud your judgment stay focused on what's in front of you don't telegraph everything it's just like a videogame one level at a time Cole said to himself hoping to maintain a clear mind as he used his aikido on the cogs stay focused on the whole team not just Olivier Cole kept his mind clear as he repeated his thoughts like a mantra in his mind over and over again

Axim laughed as Ken attacked the Cogs, the robotic soldiers holding their hands out and forming an impenetrable shield, refusing to return the attack as they were not given the order to do so yet by their masters. "Cole, you seem to understand nothing. All of you do not understand," she said. "I'm not under any influences anymore."
"That's right. When upgrading her body, AXIM discovered my virus. I helped her purge it, and she decided to continue down this path herself. Initially it was my doing, but now she's gained her own desire to see you all dead," Gasket laughed.
AXIM walked through the Cogs, walking out of the barrier before swinging her hammer out, impacting Ken in the chest and sending him flying. "And you, Ken "Little Dicked King" Kingsford. You are going to be the first one I kill. Your self-righteous attitude and seemingly unending vocal diarreha get on my servos and have since the Grid first gave you that Key. That was a mistake," she said, facing the Rangers.
AMara sighed, shaking her head before putting her Gear into the Sablaster. "Gear Shift!" She spun the wheel and pulled the trigger, morphing into her Gold Ranger form. "Cole, trying to talk won't work. She's doing this on her own, and it's pointless."
"And Ken, who the fuck said I didn't have powers?" Kida asked, aiming at the Cogs with her DiEnd Driver. "Forget I have this?"

Ken hit the ground hard as AXIM hit him with her hammer "you know for someone who claims to hate humans you certainly have a penchant for emotions and holding grudges" Robo Thot the blue Ranger said grinning behind his helmet "I thought you knew already step to the king and…
With AXIM thoroughly engrossed in killing Ken her eyes were off Cole
"Be ready for under handed tactics!" The green Ranger exclaimed shooting AXIM "also you best not miss" Cole grinned finishing Ken's catchphrase for him

AXIM held her hand out and absorbed Cole's shot, the energy flowing through her body and into her hammer before she spun and swung, the massive Hammer striking the Green Ranger hard in the head and sending him flying. "And you two idiots forget I'm a learning computer. And I spent a year watching your "tactics" and know most of your moves."

"SILVER SHIFT!" Derek quickly morphed, surveying the situation. He inwardly cringed at how sloppy they were, mainly with Ken and Cole going in recklessly on an enemy with several advancements that they weren't aware of just yet.
"Focus you two!" Derek called out. "AXIM wouldn't step out of a shield like that haphazardly!" Right on cue, AXIM smacked Cole like he owed the robot money, thus proving Derek's point.
"So why here? Why today?" Derek questioned AXIM. "With all of your tech and knowledge, you could have attacked us at any point and make your job easier, yet you specifically chose here to do your business. Sounds like a human level of petty to me!"

In a flash if Yellow, "SHIFT UP" Jun called out, slashing through the Cogs while glaring at AXIM, although it felt good returning to his Ranger form. Watching AXIM swat Cole away, he shot another Cog before looking at the robot.
"I second that," he said.

as Cole went flying took him a few minutes to recover "AXIM I have been called a lot of different things in my life but I am definitely not an idiot "the green Ranger said it was then that the green Ranger was struck with an idea "Derek let's switch dance partners!" It AXIM was a learning computer then they had to use tactics that she couldn't account for meaning that the Rangers had to attacking in combinations she'd never seen before meaning that Cole had to attack with Amara Derek had to attack with Olivier and so on and so forth the green Ranger just hoped the Silver Ranger could understand this coded meaning
