Ken and Cole teleported in last, catching the end of Derek's speech. Cole sighed as he looked at the others. "I'm sorry. I thought I could try and talk to her," he said. "Try and make some sense of all of this."
"It didn't work the last tiem you tried. What made you think it would now?" Ken asked. "Grow up, Cole."
"Ken--!"
"ENOUGH!" Kida snapped, slamming her hand on the counter. "This is the shit we're talking about. We're not doing this "Brothers at each others throats" shit again all fucking fight. From now on, you two wait for orders before doing a fucking thing. Neither of you are Red! In the field, it's Derek in charge until we get a Red Ranger. Either of you step out of line, I'll start looking for Green and Blue replacements too. I am not doing this shit again!"

Jun remained silent over Kida's scolding, knowing that he shouldn't get to her bad side.

Cole had no reaction to Kida's outburst after getting dressed down by everybody including his wife the green Ranger had grown used to this and dealing with his foster brother "fine by me" he said pulling out a Rubik's cube and and beginning to solve it hoping the puzzle would help calm his mind
Ken was silent for a second before giving Kida and Derek a halfhearted salute "oh captain my captain" the blue Ranger said sarcastically

Kida turned and glared daggers at Ken, her fuse about to blow. "Ken." she growled.
"Ok...I think that's it," Jax said, getting between Kida and Ken. "We'll keep searching for a new Red Ranger and wait for AXIM and Gasket to send out their first robotic fighters. Right now, I think it's best if we all went home. And I mean home. No SPD, no mutilbillion dollar companies. Go home. All y'all. We'll let you know when something happens."
Amara took Derek's hand and sighed. "I'll call and have Moze's gravestone replaced."

"Best idea I've heard all day certainly better than anything Cole's come up with" Ken said teleporting out before anyone could say anything once he was back in the cemetery he retrieved his helmet and Motorcycle keys he waited with baited breath to see if anyone would follow him back.
The green Ranger glowered as his foster brother teleported away "let it go it's not worth the headache" he muttered to himself continuing to try to solve the Rubik's cube in his hands vehemently pushing down the anger he felt.

Amara took Derek's hand and sighed. "I'll call and have Moze's gravestone replaced."
"Thanks." With a soft smile, Derek teleported out. When he got home, he put down the bottle he bought with the liquor that was left. He sighed while looking up to the sky via his vaulted ceiling.
"I think you're the one who has it easy right now." Derek chuckled, talking to Moze.

"Let us know if anything happened, Kida," Jun said before teleporting away himself.

"I think you're the one who has it easy right now." Derek chuckled, talking to Moze.
Amara sighed softly as she dialed the phone, calling the same company that replaced Tyler and Mackenzie's headstones the prior year. After getting a quote and negotiating it down to managable pricing, she hung up and set her phone down, walking over to Derek and putting her hands on his shoulders, looking down at the Silver Ranger.
"You know she's up there yelling at Ken and Cole for being themselves," she said with a chuckle. "I know she's watching us, and I hope she leads the Grid to a good choice for Red. Someone that's gonna fit in." Unknown at the time, the Gold and Silver Rangers would hear an announcement on the radio that would tell them who the soon-to-be Red Ranger was, but they wouldn't know until later.
"That's right, folks, in just a few short weeks we've got the Boxing Battle of the Decade between Tifa "Thunder Fists" Thorston and Kaitlynn "Hammer Hands" Harper! Eaglemere is where it's at! Get your tickets at our website or through your local ticketmasters, and be ready to cheer your favorite fighter on in just three short weeks at Eaglemere's own Garin Entertainment Stadium!"
"Still can't believe they took Moze's name for the stadium," Amara said with a roll of her eyes.

Olivier shakes her head as she watches Ken leave. Eventually she goes over to her husband, who is occupied with one of his coping mechanisms. "He's not important, Cole." She begins with a gentle reminder. After a minute, she suggests, "You know we can finish our day unwinding, just to get away from today's mess. We can discuss about the legal work and our second wedding. Then tomorrow, we're back to business."

"Most likely. Moze has never let us down before, I don't think that starts now, even in death." Derek sighed.
"Still can't believe they took Moze's name for the stadium," Amara said with a roll of her eyes.
"Yeah. Sleazy bastards. Had no problem demonizing the girl for being a Ranger but now want to use her name. It's so filthy it almost makes me not hungry. Almost." Derek finished as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Sounds great I'll call Wendy and have her bring the car around unless you would rather just teleport" the green Ranger suggested having finished the Rubik's cube the newlyweds having acquired a beachfront house in the year since the fight with the Tok'ra Empire
Satisfied that no one was going to follow him the blue Ranger kicked his royal steed into ignition catching sight of the Garin Stadium in the distance as he headed for home

"Let's just teleport. Why waste gas?" Olivier replies with a small smile of her own.

With a smile Cole took his wife's hand as they teleported in a shower of green and pink sparks respectively back to their home

"Yeah. Sleazy bastards. Had no problem demonizing the girl for being a Ranger but now want to use her name. It's so filthy it almost makes me not hungry. Almost." Derek finished as he put his hands in his pockets.
"IT was that fucking reporter that tried blackmailing her," Amara said, shaking her head. "And with no living relatives, they can't fight ot get the name changed or taken down, and we can't do anything without giving our own identities up as Rangers. And that's a spotlight we don't want." She sat beside Derek, sighing softy.
"Just wish we knew what to do this time around."
The Rangers were together again, but this time facing an enemy that knew them. AXIM and Gasket were planning something big to start with in the coming days, and the Rangers would need to get on the same page and fast before their former companion rips them apart bit by bit. ________________
(OOC: Do your own things for now. We'll get to the goods soon.)
Three days after everyone met at Moze's grave and AXIM started her taunting, Kida couldn't help but worry that the Rangers were behind the eight ball without a clear shot at a pocket. The scanner kept searching for a Red Ranger, but nobody in Eaglemere was pinging. The former Red Dino Steel Ranger sighed as she stood up and stretched, rolling her shoulder.
"You ok?" Jax asked, walking in and handing Kida a cup of coffee. "You look tense."
"Well, gee, Jax. Our creation is fucking Prince Gasket, she threatened our Rangers, and she broke Moze's headstone. Why do you think I look fucking tense?!" Kida snapped. She closed her eyes and took a breath, sighing softly. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that."
"No, you're good. Vent if you have to. God knows I did my share after Moze's funeral, remember?" the former Blue Ranger asked with a small smile. "Any luck on the Key?"
"Nothing yet," Kida said. "Hopefully soon." _____________
Amara tightened her grip on her bag, walking into Dream Chasers. It'd been a while since she'd been in her job, streaming from home seemed like a better option for a while, but when she realized she hadn't been there in almost a year, she decided to go back and do some streams from inside.
"Hey, Amara!" voices hollered as she walked in, kids sprinting past her to go watch people play on the big screens or fire up streams of their own. The Gold Ranger made her way to the elevator, heading for the floor she was used to working on, rubbing her arm softly. Walking out, she looked around before making her way down to her pod.
"Home sweet home," she said, tucking her bag under her chair and settling in, logging in and seeing waht her last played game was. "Oh, shit. Saints Row 2022....we never did finish that, did we? Well, what better time to jump back into Santo Ileso."

Jun was seen with a bouquet of flowers, and a small MMPR Red Ranger plushie as he marched his way to the cemetery and stopped at Moze's grave. He placed the flowers and the plushie in front of the tombstone, looking at the grave. "Moze. It's been a while since I visited you. It really isn't the same without you," he said. "I know you're reunited with our mother in Heaven, but I can't help but miss you."
