Nate and Steel finished the Cyber Gate in a few hours. Betty stepped forward to test it. We watched with bated breath as she walked into the shimmering portal, hoping for a successful outcome. However, our hopes were dashed when Betty walked back out moments later, her form contorted with elastic powers. "Whoa, what happened to you?" I asked, my eyes widening in surprise as I took in Betty's altered appearance.

Betty shook her head, clearly disoriented by her newfound abilities. "I... I don't know. Something went wrong with the cybergate," she replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

"I can go through with a radio transmitter. Once I'm on the other side, I can give you all the coordinates to follow with your Zords," Ravi suggested, his voice brimming with determination.

But Commander Shaw quickly intervened, her expression stern as she addressed her son. "Absolutely not, Ravi. It's too dangerous," she insisted, her tone leaving no room for argument. Before anyone could protest further, Mayor Daniels unexpectedly seized Ravi's radio transmitter.

"I'll do it," he declared, his voice firm with resolve. Without hesitation, he darted towards the cybergate and disappeared into its swirling depths, just moments before it closed shut. Shock rippled through the room as we stared at the now-closed cybergate, Mayor Daniels' selfless act hanging heavy in the air.

Meanwhile....
Mayor Daniels swiftly sent the Rangers his coordinates, a beacon of hope amidst the chaos that had unfolded. As the transmission came through, he wasted no time in locating Devon, his heart heavy with the weight of the conversation that awaited them. Finding Devon amidst the turmoil, Mayor Daniels approached his son with a mixture of determination and regret. "Devon," he began, his voice tinged with emotion as he met his son's gaze. "I need to talk to you."

Devon turned to face his father, a mix of apprehension and curiosity in his eyes. "What is it, Dad?" he asked, his tone cautious yet receptive. With a deep breath, Mayor Daniels began, his words laden with sincerity.

"I want to apologize, Devon. For all the times I've been hard on you, for pushing you to be someone you're not," he confessed, his voice softening with each word. Devon's expression softened, a flicker of understanding passing between father and son.

"It's okay, Dad," he replied, his voice filled with a sense of forgiveness. "I know you were just trying to look out for me."

Back at Grid Battleforce...
As soon as we received the coordinates from the Mayor, Nate stepped forward. "We need to head to those coordinates and fast," he asserted, his voice resolute as he addressed the rest of the team. Zoey voiced her concerns, her brow furrowed with worry.

"But do we have enough power to make it there in time?" she questioned, her eyes darting between us. A knowing smile graced Nate's lips as he revealed his secret project.

"I've been working on something that might help," he announced, a glimmer of excitement dancing in his eyes. With renewed determination, we set to work, forming the Ultrazord with precision and efficiency. As the mighty Zord took shape before us, I knew that with our combined strength and determination, we would reach Mayor Daniels' coordinates and rescue Devon from the clutches of danger.

As we entered the Cyber Dimension, we raced into battle, the power of the Ultrazord coursing through our veins. I felt a surge of determination wash over me. With each strike against the Gigadrones, I fought with all my strength, my mind focused solely on the task at hand. But as the dust settled, our victory was short-lived. Evox emerged, his body complete and brimming with malevolent power. With a single devastating blast, he shattered our Zords, causing us to demorph and leaving us defenseless and vulnerable.

My heart sank as I watched our Zords crumble before my eyes, a sense of despair threatening to consume me. But then Zoey's voice cut through the chaos, her words igniting a spark of hope within me. "We need to destroy the Morph-X tower!" Zoey exclaimed, her eyes ablaze with determination.
