Devon's anger flared, his Fury Mode making him an unstoppable force. I stayed on the defensive as he tried to forcefully take the Fury Cell from me. However, with his deadly Cheetah Claws, he slashed my arm, and pain shot through me. I cried out as my morphing energy dissipated, forcibly de-morphing me. I lay on the ground as Devon approached, the hunger for the Fury Cell evident in his movements. It became a battle of wills, a struggle for the fate of our leader's soul.

The others unleashed their Beast-X Blasters on Burnertron, pushing the formidable adversary back. But their focus was divided, torn between defeating the Robotron and stopping Devon's relentless assault, his desire unwavering as he closed in on me, demanding the Fury Cell. "Dev...please..." I pleaded with him to stop as tears fell from my eyes, but it didn't seem to get through to him.

He snatched the Fury Cell, and I watched as his Fury Mode dissipated, leaving him staring at the cell in his hand with a mix of anger and realization. In a moment of clarity, Devon crushed the Fury Cell, destroying the source of his power and frustrating Roxy's malevolent plans.

"Kali...I'm so sorry," Devon said, realization washing over his face as he extended his hand to help me up. I took it, and he assisted me to my feet.

"It's okay, I'm just glad you're back," I said with a small smile as I wiped my eyes and hugged him.

"Guys, can you handle the robotron?" Devon asked the others.

"Yeah we've got this!" Nate called back.

"Good. I'm gonna get Kali back to base," he then said.

"I'm fine, Dev. I can still fight," I tried to protest. Thankfully, my injured arm wasn't the one with the machinery in it and I wouldn't have to talk about what happened yet. Devon looked at my arm, and that's when I realized just how much it hurt when I saw how much it was bleeding.

"Please...it's the least I can do," he insisted gently. I sighed and reluctantly agreed. He helped me back to Grid Battleforce.

As soon as we got there, we went to the Commander. A medic came in and started bandaging me up. But what concerned me more was Devon's condition. He stood nearby, trying to explain himself to Commander Shaw. His words were laced with frustration. "I was out of control, Commander. I had to do something," he said, his voice tinged with guilt.

Commander Shaw's stern expression softened slightly, but her concern remained evident. "Devon, we can't afford to act recklessly."

Before their conversation could progress further, an urgent alert blared through the base. "It's a Gigadrone," the Commander announced, her voice snapping me out of my thoughts. Devon turned to leave, heading for the Racer Zord. But I couldn't let him go alone, not after what had just happened.

"Devon, wait!" I called out, rushing towards my Wolf Zord. Commander Shaw's voice held a stern note as she tried to intervene.

"Kali, stay here. That's an order."

I ignored her, my heart pounding as I launched my Wolf Zord. Together, in our respective Zords, we raced towards the imminent threat. The Blue, Yellow, Gold, and Silver Rangers were already engaged with Burnertron, and the chaotic scene unfolding before us demanded our immediate attention.

As we approached the battle, my attention was drawn to the descending Burnerdrone. It dropped menacingly into Coral Harbor, a harbinger of destruction. I noticed the Gigadrone launching its Gigatronics, creating a formidable barrier around the area. Devon's Racer Zord transformed into its Cheetah Mode with a powerful roar that resonated through the city. His swift actions took down the Gigatronics, one by one, in a mesmerizing display of skill and strength.
