"I say we give them some time," Jax said. "Thinkin' tonight the first rounds are on me. Got to put that new paycheck to use, y'know?""If you're buying, I'm going all out," Amara said with a smirk. "Come on, Mackenzie. Let's go break my brother's wallet with expensive food and drinks. When Joe's out, he and Tyler can join us.""Seeing Amara get liquored up and I get to keep some money in my pocket? This is a great way to end the day!" Derek spoke out of excitement, knowing that he could use a drink and seeing his Pink comrade get some drinks in her system was always quality entertainment."I'll see you guys there," Tyler said with a smile and the Rangers left the room, leaving the two brothers alone. "Tyler, you should go with them. I'll be fine," Giorgiotto spoke to him. "I know, Joe. But I don't want to leave you here all alone," Tyler said. "I mean we never got the chance to spend some time like we did years ago." "Hey, you're not a kid anymore. I really want you to have fun and enjoy life. I mean you were doing so well... you even became a YouTube celebrity," Giorgiotto continued on. "That means nothing compared to us. I almost lost you because of my own stupidity, because of what I had said to you. If I did, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself and mom and dad would be angry at me," Tyler returned back. "I know I said it before, but I really am sorry for what had happened. For what I did." "Listen, that's all in the past now. I'm alright but I don't when I will be staying in here," Giorgiotto consoled. "Once I am out, we will be able to have fun while I continue on with my work." Just as the Italian finished, the doctor came in and saw Giorgiotto up and a smile appeared on his face, "Oh, my god! You're awake!" he exclaimed and Tyler said, "It's all good, doc." The doctor soon walks out of the room and Tyler turned to Giorgiotto, "So, we're all good?" he asked and the latter nodded. " Si," he said in full Italian and the two shared a brotherly embrace, restoring the bond they had when Giorgiotto first came to Angel Grove. END OF EPISODE FOUR

Episode 5: Game Over?
Derek is shaken to his core when an innocent teen is injured due to an attack by Gregory's forces, he realizes just how real this battle for Earth is and in turn, questions his ability as a Power Ranger after hearing Divatox gush over the legendary Red Rangers of the past. After the other Rangers were kidnapped in a battle, Derek must find the courage to fight again and save his friends before it's too late.
((OOC: Alright, guys! Do whatever you want in this. Derek, you better be ready for your focus! )) Days had passed since the Reaper incident and Giorgiotto had since returned to Italy for work. Tyler was at his apartment, when he had received his Custom Creator Award for hitting 50,000,000 subscribers. He felt very proud of himself, but he didn't really dwell on it. After taking pictures of it and placed it on his Twitter and Instagram page, he walked out of the apartment, grabbing his keys and walked to his car, which it was a yellow Chevy Corvette. He was supposed to meet his friends on the location for a new music video he was currently making for his music at Tsunami Sushi and discuss the storyboard of how the video would go. Igniting the car, he drove off with Lizzo's Truth Hurts blaring on the radio, the Yellow Ranger singing along as he placed the hood down, letting the air brush past him since it was a sunny day.

With the days that have passed since the bout against the Reaper, Derek spent most of his time at the office, mingling with some of the young employees. Over the years, Derek's company has become known for "leaking" information as a means of building hype for games. Most bosses would keep that type of intel to themselves but to the chagrin of most businessmen, he tended to do things a bit different.
The CEO went downstairs, playing Mortal Kombat 11 with some of the employees. For his efforts, he was loved by those who appreciated the environment that DC fostered and hated by those same people in a gaming sense because usually won. After finishing a few rounds using his favorite fighter Johnny Cage, he closed the application and dropped in a download code for an update. While the update was taking place, Derek looked down at his phone.
"You guys keep an eye on the update for me. I have to snag something from my office." Derek left the lounging area and during his 'long walk' back to his office, the update finished revealing the new MK11 DLC before it even hit market. The employees looked back at their boss, snickering because it was the worst kept secret in the building and his acting didn't make it any better but they appreciated the lengths he went to keep his people happy and happy they were, examining the new DLC features long before it hit market.
Once Derek got back upstairs, he was feeling proud of himself. Between things running well with the business and Gregory's forces getting knocked down like bowling pins, the young CEO was feeling on top of the world.
"Hey there, Boss." Derek spoke to his assistant before heading into his office. She looked puzzled as she waved back. She always knew Derek to be a relatively upbeat person but he was even happier than usual, which only fueled her suspicion that something had changed but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Jax was working at the security desk, keeping an eye on things as he watched people walk in and out of hte building. He sighed as he looked at his phone, rubbing his head softly as he read a text from his mother. "Of course you're not going to be home. WHy should you be?" he muttered, shaking his head as he put his phone away again. He leaned back in his chair, twirling a pen lightly. Between Gregory's forces, his job at Derek's company, and working at the veterans' center, teh Blue Ranger felt good about his dedication to his city, even if some things left him feeling a bit spread thin. ________________________
Amara looked at her GPS as she flew her medical chopper, seeing the accident ahead. "Jeannie, get ready to land!" she said. "Two minutes out." It looked to be a bad one, and she had a gut feeling she'd keep this one in her head the rest of the day. The normally upbeat Pink Ranger couldn't help but think of how many people had been injured in Gregory's attacks or by she and her friends trying to stop them. She didn't doubt being Pink Ranger wasn't good for her, since she loved every minute she got to spend kicking ass and taking names, but the thought that sometimes she was doing more harm then good seeped in.

Tyler finally arrived at Tsunami Sushi as he took a glance at his Twitter and Instagram, where he had gotten comments from users, congratulating him for his award and began to meet with the others who showed up later on and began talking about their plans on the video. He had been working hard on the project, however, his mind began to shift the other way. He began to think about what had happened with Giorgiotto and the Reaper and how he almost lost him. His eyes furrowed for a moment as he gripped onto his chopsticks. He tried to forget about what had happened now that his brother is now okay, but he couldn't stop thinking that day.
"Tyler! Dude, are you okay?" one person asked.
Tyler looked up and nodded, "Yeah, I'm okay. I was just spacing out for a moment," he said. "Now, do you think that the beach will be a good place for the music video?"
As he continued the conversation with his friends, he began to think about what the other Rangers were doing.
'I wonder what Derek is up to at this time?'

Derek's assistant decided to follow her boss into his office with tablet in hand, looking at his schedule to ensure that he was staying on task.
"DC, I have on my calendar that you're scheduled for testing on the new MK11 DLC. Shouldn't you be loading it now to make sure that you stay on schedule."
"I am." Derek pulled out his phone, responding to texts and notifications that he missed earlier this morning. "It's loading on one of the consoles in the lounge. It may take a while, so I'm stopping up here for a minute to take care of business while it loads. I just didn't expect to miss so many messages this morning." Derek said with a straight face, slowly examining each message that came through his phone.
Boss chuckled and shook her head as she knew exactly what he was doing and there was no point in talking him out of it. "Well if there isn't anything else you need, I'm going to head to lunch."
"Cool beans. Have fun. Oh wait!" Derek put down his phone and started digging in his wallet. On your way back, can you pick up some food for me?"
"Sure. What do you want?"
"Some tacos would be awesome!" Derek's assistant walked up to him. She hadn't intended to look but some photos caught her eye while his phone was open and currently in the gallery. She noticed one group phoro thatcaught her eye. Jax was in there which was normal as she knew he interacted with employees all of the time. She also noticed famous content creator Tyler Leighton. Those photos weren't unusual since Derek's job and his status as a gamer afforded him friendships with other famous people. The ones that stood out were two girls that she didn't recognize being Amara and Mackenzie. The single photo only furthered her suspicions that something has changed with Derek but she didn't know how to address it without seeming crazy.
"Sure." She smiled while taking Derek's money. "Anything else?"
"Nope, I'm good." Derek smiled as his assistant left. "Thanks again. You're amazing!" Boss lady froze for a moment, appreciative of the kind words as she left his office. After she left, Derek pulled out his tablet from his desk drawer and fired it up, launching the Marvel Strike Force application, opting to play a few rounds to pass the time.

"Ty! You've been spacing out, man!" another one of Tyler's friends spoke to him. "Are you feeling okay?" Tyler sighed and looked at them, "Yeah, I'm alright. Look I have been distracted for a while so please bear with me," he spoke to the group while grabbing a piece of unagi. The battle against the Reaper really got him and he is trying his best to put it behind him. "You sure? We can always postpone," a female spoke to Tyler, the latter shook his head. "No, I wanna make sure everything is all set before we start shooting," he said. "I can't have my fans waiting now, right?" The others didn't say anything else as they began to continue with their meeting and their lunch. Tyler sighed until he felt his phone vibrate and he quickly took it out and it was from Mackenzie who texted him. M: I saw that trophy, Ty. Congrats! ^_^ Tyler chuckled and placed the phone back into his pocket. After the meeting, Tyler was thinking of seeing Derek at his company... if it doesn't take too long. ________________________________ Back in Gregory's ship, Gregory glared at Sansa who flinched at him. After hearing what she had did, he wasn't happy that she had went to create a monster behind his back and now she has to face the consequences. "Gregory, darling... just let me explain-" "I do not want to hear any explanation, you have gone to take on the Rangers without my consent! Even if you had created one of the most powerful monsters with Narda, your actions was inexcusable!" the Space Pirate leader barked at the swordswoman who recoiled to the sharpness of his scolding. "You are not to leave the ship unless I tell you that you should. Just be glad that I wasn't like the leader of the other Space Pirates you were last part of , or else I would show you no mercy!" Sansa swallowed hard. She really angered Gregory, "I'm sorry, Gregory. I-it won't happen again," she spoke softly. "Good, you are dismissed," Gregory spoke and Sansa leaves the throne room while Narda remained silent. "Wow, she never learns, does she?" Crow spoke as he comes out of the shadows, approaching Gregory who sighed in annoyance. "Crow, don't speak about Sansa like that. She may have done wrong, but she's not incompetent," Gregory stung at the red pirate who folded his arms, unfazed by his leader's frustration. "Well, now that she's out of the picture. I heard that Reaper was pretty powerful and it almost cost the life of the Yellow Ranger's older brother." "Yes, the Reaper was a very powerful monster ever created," Narda exclaimed. "But we have underestimated them as we did before. They are good in finding their weaknesses when in battle and I needed to created a monster that the Rangers will find impossible to find the weakness." "Oh? And what kind of monster that you have created?" Gregory said before orange flames began snaking around the room. More streams began to form which produced light and heat right before it began to form into a humanoid form clashed in armor and had what it looked like six claws on his back. "Gregory, this is Ares. He is modeled after the Greek god of War. His temper is far more menacing and is one of the most strongest gods in Greek mythology. He will do well to serve you and destroy the Power Rangers. And since the Yellow Ranger is too convenient, I have another Ranger in mind that will make the team be no more." Gregory looked at Ares as he stood proudly and smiled darkly, "I like him, Narda. He will do perfect in destroying the Power Rangers," he said, turning to the god. "Are you up for the task?" "I stand proudly of my strength. I serve rightly to my Mistress and the Space Pirates," Ares spoke to Gregory. "Perfect. Crow, since Sansa won't be involved in battle for a while, how would you like to assist Ares in destroying the Power Rangers?" "Heh, I'd be delighted. Tell me, who is this Ranger we might target?" Crow asked. "The Rangers' team leader of course," Narda exclaimed in a sickeningly sweet voice. ______________________________________ The meeting went pretty well and Tyler sighed in relief that it was over. He was indeed looking forward in shooting his video and he knew for sure that it was going to be a hit. As he waved goodbye to Hiro, who told him to come again. He walked to his car where he lets out a yawn before getting into the car, hoping to see if Derek was doing okay. He thought surprising him would be kind of him, but then again he kinda dreaded that Jax might get on him since he works there. As he started his car, a group of Swabbies appeared before him, causing him to react quickly. "Aw, you gotta be kidding me!" he called out in complete annoyance. Mackenzie, who had been working in her office was on her way to have lunch through motorcycle for she had decided to take it out for a ride. However, her morpher went off and it was Supra who contacted her. " Mackenzie! Swabbies are attacking Tyler at Tsunami Sushi!" "Uh-oh. Should I call Derek and the others?" Mackenzie asked. " Not a good idea. They're still working, you should help him out before he gets hurt!" Supra exclaimed and the Green Ranger nodded. "Alright, on my way," she said and began to pick up the speed as Tyler began to fight the Swabbies in the parking lot. "Hey, hands off my ride!" he shouted out as he kicks one Swabbie from his car while another Swabbie catches him off guard, punching him in the face, crashing against his car. "Damn it, I better call Derek and the others!" he exclaimed, but Dozer stopped him. " No! Don't! Red is really busy with his work and Green is on her way to help you out!" "What about Jax and Amara? I can't take on these guys when there's a lot of them!" Tyler exclaimed. " Pink and Blue are tied up too! You may be a team, but they also have to deal with every day life. You're just a college student, so you're no exception." "Oh, fuck you, Dozer! Traitor!" Tyler cursed before jumping over a Swabbie before summoning his Quartz Sword, slashing the grunt diagonally.

Mackenzie arrived and screeched to a halt. Jumping off her bike she leapt into a group of Swabbies. "Sorry I took so long," she called out to Tyler.

"Thanks for the assist!" Tyler exclaimed ducking a swing from a Swabbie and returned the favor before slashing another Swabbie with his Quartz Sword.
In the background, Crow appears with his arms folded, "Alright. Phase One, complete. Now time for Phase Two," he said before disappearing.
"Okay, this is getting ridiculous!" Tyler shouted out and activated his Sword, "DIAMOND SLASH!" he called out, performing his attack on the Swabbies.

Jax, having taken to straightening his desk, had a bad feeling in his stomach. He pulled his phone out and debated on sending a text to the others to see if everything was ok. He decided not to risk it, putting his phone back in his pocket with a sigh. "If anything goes wrong, Divatox'll call. Right...?" he thought, crossing his arms.

As Jax continued on with his job, Crow appears in front of the Dream Chasers HQ with another group of Swabbies, some of the people noticing the unwelcomed guests and began panicking. "Alright, Swabbies. Seize the building!" he called out and the Swabbies began to make their attack inside Derek's headquarters, inflicting their blows on many employees and even grabbing some hostage. Crow followed in a saunter, watching the plan take action.

Jax looked at his cameras, his eyes wide when he saw what was going on. He jumped over the desk and started for the front. "Get everyone out through the back! Hit a fire alarm or something!" he yelled, rushing for the Swabbies. "You sons of bitches just can't stay down for one day!? Attackin' my dude's business is a low fuckin' blow!" He leapt forward clotheslined a Swabbie, slamming it into the ground before swinging out and catching another, grabbing the first and swingig him like a bat and knocking some more down and away from the hostages. "Get the wounded and get to safety! Hurry!"

One of the employees of Dream Chasers began to hit the alarm and everyone began to evacuate through the back door as screams began echoing through the large halls while Jax began to fight the Swabbies.
Back in the fight with Tyler and Mackenzie, the two managed to take down their group of Swabbies. Tyler panted heavily, "What was all that about?" he asked in complete confusion.
"I don't know, but something tells me that the Space Pirates might have sent them here as a distraction," Mackenzie said, both of their weapons disappearing. "Something tells me that Gregory is planning something worse than what happened with the Reaper."
Then suddenly, their morphers began to go off again and they began to answer, "Rangers, it's me. You better haul your asses down at Dream Chasers, the Swabbies are causing a riot, and Jax is out facing them on his own," Divatox exclaimed.
"That's where Derek works! Thanks for the heads-up, Dee!" Tyler said. "Let's go!"
Mackenzie nodded and they got onto their vehicles, starting the ignition before speeding their way to the Red Ranger's company headquarters.

Boss made her way back to the building, taking the elevator upstairs to Derek's office. When she arrived she held two bags in one hand and a tray with two drinks in the other.
"Delivery!" She walked up, setting the food on his desk. The CEO's eyes widened at the sight of the deep fried goodness. "This looks amazing!" Once his food and drink was ready to be sacrificed, Derek started digging in, noticing his assistant walking away. What was an attempt to call out her name resulted in an odd muffled noise. Thankfully, she turned around, allowing him to motion to another chair as if to say come and eat with him.
"I guess." She smirked, giving him a hard time. She sat down and even now, she was in amazement with how much food he could put down without losing weight, especially since he's never been a workout warrior.
As Jax continued on with his job, Crow appears in front of the Dream Chasers HQ with another group of Swabbies, some of the people noticing the unwelcomed guests and began panicking.

"Get the wounded and get to safety! Hurry!"
One of the security guards followed Jax's order and hit a fire alarm, getting the attention of those who weren't caught on the carnage on the bottom floor, particularly a certain CEO and his assistant on the top floor.
"What's going on!?" Boss ran out of the office to grab her tablet, using it to see what was going on downstairs. "Oh my god! What are those things!?"
Derek knew exactly what they were and to not only interrupt his meal but to also attack his place of business and harm his people made him irate. "Call 911 and get ambulances here pronto!" He said, running out of his office.
"What about the police!?" Before she could get an answer to her second question, Derek was long gone.
Once Derek made it downstairs, he immediately jumped into the fray, knocking two Swabbies away with a split legged kick. "Get to safety! Go!" The two civilians nodded in appreciation as they made their escape. "Jax! How bad is it!?" Derek grabbed another Swabbie and flipped it on its back before delivering a side kick to another.

"Several injured," Jax said, driving a kick into a Swabbie. "They just showed up, Derek! YOu don't think they know our faces?" He launched forward and speared a Swabbie before slamming his head into the ground. Dropping to avoid a swing, the Blue Ranger popped up and heel kicked the orange grunt. "Man, it's times like this all that WWE watchin' as a kid's coming in handy!"
