Wayne wasted no time as he hurried towards the case, it was almost like a drug addiction going through withdrawal as he opened it and slid on his watch as A5 projected from her screen. "WAYNE!" The ai said
"A5!" Wayne was practically in tears before pulling out Paul's morpher as he saw a pen on the floor and unscrewed the point from it using it as a makeshift screwdriver he took off a small panel as A5 pulled up a virtual schematic showing the wiring of the morphers as A5 spoke up.
"First things first I scanned the morphers while I was in there... she has a way to activate her explosives in your head remotely from her computer... it's also linked to other devices... you have to disable the program then the wire in the event she realizes the program is shut down."
Wayne hurried off towards her computer as it was obviously password protected. He tried a series of potential codes each failing after the last as he was running out of attempts. He began looking around for anything that would give him a clue about her password. "Paul, I'm in need of something anything... that has a date on it... like... like..." Wayne looked around frantically spotting a picture on the wall that showed Amy and Joey hugged up on each other. "That." He pointed as he hoped something of significance was on it.

"Wayne knows what he needs to do. We went over this a few hours ago, minus the extra words, so he's got this." Paul strapped his morpher to his wrist and grabbed his key before putting Wayne's morpher on the desk, reminding him what should be going on his wrist.

"Right street, wrong house." Paul looked at the picture before putting it down on her desk. He confirmed that Wayne the right idea but that particular picture looked to be just a good day for the pair. He thought of the many conversations he had with the pair and Brooklyn, knowing that their anniversary or a birthday would be too simple but it still had to be an important date to her. "Shit, I remember. Try July24th2017 as the password." When Wayne would eventually ask the significance, Paul would answer accordingly.
"It was a mission where we partnered with MI6 and a guy their guy Bond. Maybe I'll tell you the whole story one day, if we survive all of this." Paul finished, motioning for Wayne to put in that password, all while looking outside to see if someone was coming.

During the ruckus, Amy looked around and noticed that she couldn't put eyes on any of the group, save for Lenny who wasn't far, fighting off the guards. She reached for her morpher, only to find that her morpher and her tablet was gone.
"That little bitch!" Amy shouted. The fire alarms began to blare, causing even more chaos with people evacuating. She pulled out her cell phone, making a call. "They're trying to escape. We need to shut this place down.... no, I can't. They stole my tablet and morpher.... I'm heading there now... you sure?..... Okay. I'm heading that way now." Amy ended the call, using her cell phone. "Murph!" She shouted. Her loyal good boy ran to her side. "Let's go get Mommy's stuff back." She left with Murph, choosing to go after her gear.

Wayne entered the date and boom he was in, he scanned the desktop and knew it wouldn't be obvious that's when he checked the Recycle Bin finding a strange logo and clicked it. BINGO. A5 began speaking what to a normal person would just sound like random numbers. But Wayne was typing furiously as it was almost as if A5 was speaking a different language and Wayne was understanding of it. THIS. This was where he thrived. Not with people... with code as he accessed the program he needed. That's when he sat back for a moment.
"Wow. She is a genius." Wayne pressed a key as a single beep wad heared. "She knows what we're doing now. I just triggered a secret alarm. She's thought of everything, a hardcode, her system just detected a foreign attempt at descrambling code." Wayne said mesmerized by what he was seeing. Paul would think Wayne was talking to him but in fact he saw no one but the screen. He hated Amy as a person. But he truly admired her genius.
"She's smarter than Me.... our chances of shutting this down... are now 0.8 percent."
Wayne sat back tapping his chin. "Wait..." Wayne pressed a combination of codes as a green light flashed on screen. "Bypassed the HardCode..." Wayne then turned to Paul with a smile. "Well I did-"
He blinked as he stared at the screen. "Er... So.... good news... I passed her Hardcode... Bad news... I think I set of a timer for..."
A5 spoke up. "Headbooms" she said regretfully before Wayne snapped his finger.
"I got it." He began typing again a series of codes. As he grabbed everyone's morphers looking at the code as he pressed a few more buttons.
"One Minute Wayne!" A5 said horrified as he continued working.
"Paul, no matter what keep that door shut as if your life depended on it... because it does." He asked as time was now ticking and it was crunch time for the Green Ranger.

"Work fast." Paul said sternly. "Remember what I told you before. It's not just the explosives you have to turn off. It's also the tracking and remote control on us and these morphers. I do not want a repeat of what happened in that alien bitch's cave." Remembering that not everyone knew of that outing, Paul elaborated. "That was when Joey's morpher was shut off remotely, almost getting him killed."

Wayne gulped as he dug deeper in the code as A5 began singing 'Mary Had a little lamb' helping Wayne lock in as he began typing again. "She is purposely disorganized these codes in the event anyone tried to Hack her... "She knew one day our paths would cross..." he said more figuratively than literally as he smiled insanely. "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED MISS PORTER." He began gliding on the keyboard as every one would hear a beep in their head. Wayne looked at Paul. "Bombs... should be deactivated... only way to really know... is if she tries to kill us." Wayne gulped hoping he succeeded. As be turned back to the screen.
"Tracking easy." He pressed a combo solving that issue quickly, but now the second hardest task preventing the morphers from being shut down as he began working even faster. "What do you think is worse, a head explosion or a bite from the dog." Wayne said, this was his first attempt at a joke at a horrible time but his social issues being apparent in this moment as it was a nervous reaction as he continued to type with awkward silence.

Paul paused when Wayne tried his hand at humor. While he knew that this was a rush job, he hoped that whatever the young Ranger did was enough. When talk turned to the morphers, he tried responding as best as he could without putting the guy down.
"Let's hope for your sake, you never have to find out. Now hurry." Paul walked to the front of the lab, peeking his head out. He thought it was weird that nobody was heading to the lab. Surely Amy figured them out by now and the lack of resistance on him gave him a funny feeling.

Wayne continued his task as he swiped his brow.Typing some more as he hesitated before pressing a button. "Paul... are we about to be on the run for the rest of our lives?" Wayne got deep and sad before he pressed the combination. Another beep heard as he leaned back in the chair. "That's... that's everything... there's no way to know if I did it right... until said scenarios are presented to us." Wayne was shaking as he sighed.

"Wayne... focus." Paul firmly placed his hands on Wayne's shoulders to stop him from shaking. "One step at a time. Don't focus on the rest of your life when we have enough on our plate today." He said before removing his hands. "If you said we're good to go, I'm trusting you. If you're done, we need to....wait." Paul stopped himself, looking at one file on the computer that stood out. "Open that." Paul pointed to the file labeled Nitro Zords. Unknown to them, those files contained the data on five new zords, serving as the first zords outside of the mighty Strike Dragon that were built and not living creatures and the first zords made by a human. |

Wayne clicked the file as multiple screens and tabs popped up with schematics of the Fords as he looked to Paul. "These Are Zords... from what I see, they're fully functional... I know you said something about cycles... but I think these are more efficient..." Wayne looked to the screen then to the morphers as he had an idea. He typed a few more codes in amd smiled. "I connected the Zords to our morphers... They're ours... and can only be accessed by one of us." Wayne said kinda proud. "At least again... that's what I hope I did."

"I agree." Paul said, referring to the zords and their efficiency. When he saw the zords and their colors coupled with the theme of them being five cars versus animals like the living zords, he was 99% sure that those zords were already designed for his team and likely already connected to some degree, but he knew Wayne needed the confidence, so he kept that last part to himself.
"Good job." Paul said, offering encouragement. He looked at the zords, knowing they'd have their own zord bay. He grabbed the suitcase and picked up the phone and enabled the intercom.
"This goes out to all of the cool kids out there. Just remember, when it's time to ride, don't forget to look down." Paul shut the connection. To anyone else, that would make no sense, but for the other Rangers, they should recognize the exit door underneath the upper level of the vehicle bay, leading to the lower level where the cars should be.
"Last thing, open the exit doors on the lower level of the vehicle bay. Even though those zords look like cars, we should be able to drive out of here." Paul finished, waiting for Wayne.

Kestra laughed and slid around a corner, stopping long enough to catch her breath. She heard Paul over the intercom and she grinned. "Fuck yeah!" she said, taking off again to head for the vehicle bay.

Unfortunately for Kestra, her day wasn't quite done. The sound of rabid barking intensified as a the good boy raced down the halls, pursuing Kestra with Amy not far behind, aiming to retrieve the gear she stole.
"Stop!" Amy shouted, giving Kestra one chance to stop before giving Murph the go ahead to get a head start on lunch.

Wayne punched in the release codes as he opened the bay for the rest of the team the sounds throughout the area would surely attract the others towards the same path as he followed behind Paul. "Ready."

"Great. Let's move!" Paul clutched the briefcase and motioned for Wayne to follow him. He began to run and when he turned the corner to make a break for the vehicle bay. He cursed under his breath.
"Fuck." He muttered. "I knew this was going too well."
"Looks like I was right to come here myself." The voice belonged to Brooklyn who walked out by himself.
"Wayne..." Paul handed him the briefcase. "Make sure the others get theirs. I'll be there as soon as I can."
"I can't let either of you two leave. You know that, right?""
"Sorry, Brooklyn. I'm not really in the mood to listen to you." Paul said. "Go Wayne! Get out of here!"
Brooklyn made a quick move for Wayne with Paul cutting him off, prompting another fight with Paul serving as a distraction so the young Ranger can get away.

Kestra slid to a stop, looking at Murph and Amy. "What's the matter, Princess? Lose something?" she asked, grinning. "Thought you knew where your tech was at all times." She looked at Murph and raised an eyebrow. "And what's with Mecha-Pooch? Allergic to fur?"
