"They seemed to take the bait," I smiled.
"Great. Now Time for part two of the plan. Billy, Ethan and I finished what we're calling the Cipher," Nate said proudly as he revealed an enigmatic and geometric device, featuring intricate patterns that illuminated with a mystic allure.
"The Cipher operates through the intricate orchestration of quantum encryption algorithms coupled with sophisticated neural network processing. Upon activation, the device harnesses quantum entanglement principles to create a localized field of signal disruption, effectively perturbing electromagnetic frequencies within its vicinity," Billy then explained.
"Uh, can someone translate that to English please?" Ravi asked.
"It creates force fields to block signals and disrupt machinery," Ethan summarized.
"So, it should be able to stop Roxy and Blaze, as well as free Alpha from the compliance collar, right?" Zoey asked and Nate nodded.
"Good. I'll go grab the Morph-X and then we'll head to the warehouse," I said before leaving the room. Devon followed me.
"Kali?"
I looked up to see Devon coming up to me, his expression filled with concern. "Hey," he said softly, walking alongside me. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm fine," I replied simply.
"You know you can be honest with me. We all admired Dr. Oliver but I know he was your hero," Devon said gently. "Sorry...I don't mean to be pushy. I...just wanna make sure you're okay," he added quickly.
I stopped and turned to look at him. "Of course I'm not okay, Dev. I saw him die and I didn't do anything. We have the technology, if I had done something maybe then he would still be alive. I could've warned the other Rangers, could've..."
"Kali, stop. Don't do this to yourself. It's not your fault, okay?" Devon said firmly but held my shoulders gently and looked me right in the eyes. "You've already gone through more pain than any of us have, and probably ever will. But you can't change the past. Blaming yourself won't bring Dr. Oliver back. We're all grieving right now, but we need to lean on each other for support. We'll get through this together," he added as he pulled me into a comforting embrace, his arms a warm and reassuring presence around me. Without hesitation I accepted his hug and buried my face in his shoulder as tears streamed down from my eyes. Devon patiently kept holding me for a few moments until I calmed down and let go.
"Thanks, Dev for always watching my back and keeping me grounded," I smiled a little at him as I wiped my eyes.
"Anytime, Kali. I know you'd do the same for me," Devon smiled back.
"Of course I would," I chuckled. "Now come on, let's get part two of the plan set up," I added as we continued walking to get the Morph-X.
Two hours later, I was back at the warehouse, once again morphed but this time I had some cases of Morph-X with me. Also, what Scrozzle, Roxy and Blaze hopefully didn't know was that Jason, Billy, the Dino Thunder Rangers, and my friends were all hiding and waiting nearby. Sure enough, Roxy, Blaze and Scrozzle showed up with Alpha...and Tronics and a new robotron.
"Brought some extra friends to the party, I see," I said nonchalantly.
"Just as extra reassurance. Now, hand over the Morph-X," Blaze demanded.
"Extra reassurance? Please, the Rangers are no match for me. You're no different," I taunted, even though in reality I knew I wouldn't be able to take them on by myself. "But I didn't come here looking for a fight. Give me Alpha, and the Morph-X is yours," I added. Alpha and the robotron started walking over to me. As soon as they were close enough, I grabbed Alpha and kicked the robotron away. At that moment, the rest of the Rangers revealed themselves, forming a protective wall alongside me in front of Alpha. In a mesmerizing display of power, the rest of the Rangers morphed.
