Hidden Truths

Issues and Regret

The Rangers eventually reached the area where Robo-Blaze and the Robotron were said to be and started looking around "There's nothing here." Nate stated and Zoey nodded "Do you think the report was wrong?" She asked and Rave turned to her "We should keep looking around, jus in case we miss something." He said and the Rangers decided to stay in the area and keep looking around not knowing where Robo-Blaze and the Robotron were.

Robo-Roxy and Blaze on the other hand landed back in the human world and just outside Grid Battleforce. "Why are we here?" He asked and she looked at with a faint glare "I'm gonna go help out the other you and our Robotron whilst you do something for me." She spoke sourly and he sighed "What do you want?" He said quietly "I want you to plant these cameras in the lab and make sure the Commander and your little friend don't find out. We'll be able to get 24 hour access to what they are getting up to." She spoke with a grin as she handed him a backpack with some small cameras in them and he looked inside and sighed "Remember what I said. One word to anyone and I will kill her." She reminded him and Blaze looked down knowing he couldn't tell Roxy even though he really wanted to and he nodded and she smiled "See ya." She sassed and disappeared in a blitz of purple lightning to join Robo-Blaze and the Robotron.

Blaze headed inside Grid Battleforce and as he was friends with the Rangers then he was allowed access into the lab saying he had a delivery for the Commander and he was allowed through security. He went down the corridors to get to the lab and walked past the training room  and saw something out of the corner of his eye and stepped back and saw Roxy training with one of the dummies that the Rangers used for training. He could see her punches were out of frustration after what had happened in the fight with their Robotic doubles and she was clearly angry after being shot and also that Blaze was ignoring her but she didn't know it was to keep her alive. He sighed and walked past the room again without a word to her and entered the now empty lab as the Commander had moved to the centre of the building to keep on eye on the Rangers. 

He looked around the lab to ensure it was empty and quickly got to work on setting up the cameras in places where the Rangers couldn't find them so Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy could get 24 hour camera access to the lab. He made sure all of them were concealed from sight and made sure he planted them all to avoid making Robo-Roxy angry. He was just about finished and double checked they were all set up and was just about to leave when he heard footsteps coming towards the lab and he panicked "Oh god." He whispered and quickly grabbed the bag to hide and ran to where the stasis pods where and behind the wall so he couldn't be seen but peeked out slightly so he could keep an eye out and saw Roxy enter the lab and pull up the camera they already had so she could see if the Rangers had found anything and she saw the Rangers still looking around the area not being able to find anything "That is the right area, what's going on?" She questioned and pouted a little. She was tempted to contact one of them but didn't want to disturb them so she put the camera away and walked out not knowing Blaze was watching her and he leaned back against the wall feeling like he was destroying their friendship a little more everyday he kept lying to her and fell down against the wall and a few tears fell from his eyes.

The Rangers were close to giving up as they had searched the whole area but not finding anything "Maybe we should head back, they probably had the wrong area." Steel spoke and Devon agreed. Just as they were about to head back, they felt something fall from the sky as what looked to be small pieces of machinery on top of them and Nate grabbed a piece of the machinery "Guys, this is from our weapons. Look." He spoke with a shocked look and handed it to Zoey and her eyes widened "How did this happen?" She asked and a voice spoke from above them "That would be us!" It called and the Rangers all looked up to see Robo-Blaze leaning on some scaffolding and Robo-Roxy giving a sassy wave and they were standing with a Robotron. "Say hello to Clippertron." Robo-Roxy smiled, giving the Robotron a tap. It had hands like clippers so the Rangers instantly knew it had clipped their weapons to pieces. "How did you get to our weapons?!" Ravi demanded and Robo-Blaze smiled at his female counterpart "That's none of your business!" She sassed and looked at Clippertron "Now go do what we made you for!" She spoke harshly and the Robotron jumped off the scaffolding to fight the Rangers.

After about 5 minutes, the Rangers were morphed whilst fighting Clippertron but there were having no luck without their weapons as the clipper hands were blocking any decent chance they had. "This really isn't getting us anywhere." Zoey sighed as she got back to her feet and helped up Nate. Robo-Blaze and Roxy sighed "This is getting kinda boring." She sighed and pouted and Robo-Blaze agreed and smiled at he "Shall we?" He asked and she nodded and they pulled out their Morph-X keys and they morphed into their corrupted Ranger forms which had been re-designed from their Cybervillain predecessors. "C'mon, we don't have all day Rangers." Robo-Roxy sassed and was ready to fire her guns when they all got back to their feet "We don't need our weapons to deal with you. We have our Beast DNA." Devon spoke confidently and used his Cheetah speed to rush into Robo-Roxy and knocked her off her feet and onto the floor. Robo-Blaze saw his partner go knocked down and unleashed his small blade and rushed to the Red Ranger to do what he did to Robo-Roxy and slashed Devon straight across the chest making him fall and de-morph. "Devon!" They all cried out and ran to him and Ravi held him up "You ok?" He asked his friend and Devon nodded "We better get him back to Grid Battleforce." Steel stated and Nate looked up to see Robo-Blaze getting Robo-Roxy back to her feet. "Let's go!" Nate said and they all left to get Devon back to base without the robots and the Robotron noticing. 

The Rangers quickly got Devon back to base and Ravi and Zoey quickly got him to the medical room with the help of Ben and Betty. The doctor said that Devon would be fine as long as he rested for a few days and he was checked over and dismissed by the Commander in order for him to fully recover and come back ready for action. The rest of the Rangers all re-grouped in the lab "What do we do about our weapons?" Ravi asked and Nate pulled a piece of their ruined teach from his pocket "I can probably re-manufacture this and try to re-build our weapons." He said and Zoey smiled "I'll help you." She spoke and they both left to head to their underground base where they stored their zords as they left Ravi and Steel in the lab and Ravi sighed "Want to hit the gym Steel?" He asked and Steel agreed and they both headed for the gym. 

Once the lab was empty, Blaze emerged from hiding in the storage closest as he knew he needed to find a better place to hide. "I got to get out of here." He spoke quietly and grabbed the backpack Robo-Roxy had given him and put it on his back and headed out to make a clean getaway. He managed to walk through the corridors undetected and was so close to leaving the building when he heard a voice behind "Blaze?!" The voice called and he sighed and turned to see Roxy standing there. Both of their eyes met and Blaze had no idea what to say to her after rejecting her friendship last time they spoke.

(Hate to leave it on a cliff-hanger but that's what I'm gonna do. Looks like Blaze is starting to regret lying to Roxy to protect her and Robo-Roxy is getting what she wants without any questions. Can he keep lying to protect someone he truly cares for? Stay tuned to find out. I really hope you guys enjoyed reading this part and I apologise for taking a while to update the next chapter. I still have a lot of college work to do.)
