VR Troopers: When Worlds Collide

We Are VR, Part 1

Later that night, Ryan and Kaitlin entered the base of Professor Hart's laboratory. Horatio procured the gold pendants required to harness the power of the armor suits shown in the display case.

"Professor, are the Virtualizers ready to go?" Kaitlin asked.

"I've managed to conduct a test run on each of them. Now all we need to do is have you three here to undergo the activation process," Horatio explained to them.

"Grimlord has my mother. She's being held captive and I'm afraid to wonder what motive he has in mind," Ryan went on a tirade.

"Oh no," the professor muttered.

"This is the same creature that was responsible for taking my father's life. It's bad enough he is gone and I don't want to see my mother fall under the same fate," said Ryan struggling to maintain his humility.

"I understand what you've been going through. Grimlord would've destroyed me back in the forest if it weren't for you guys. Right now the important thing is to coordinate a game plan which should allow us to rescue the police chief," Horatio advised. Ryan turned his focus on Kaitlin remembering the pep talk they had at the cabin.

"There isn't much time. As far as we know, Grimlord and the rest of his crew are somewhere lurking inside the remains of Steele Labs. Like what Ryan said, we don't know what they plan on doing with her," Kaitlin addressed.

"Before we can proceed, we'll need to undergo an MRI hand scanning process. This will determine the Virtualizer you will be using during battle, as well as the suit that goes along with it," he explained in detail. Just in the nick of time, J.B arrived inside the lab while approaching the gang.

"Hey guys, what important stuff have I missed?" He asked.

"Other than figuring out a way to rescue the chief, we're just getting ready for the metamorphosis" Kaitlin explained.

"What is going on here?" The Professor wondered seemingly suspicious to J.B's sudden tardiness.

"Sorry Professor I just had to clean up a spill from your house," J.B apologized.

"The main thing that matters is you're here," Horatio affirmed. Before they could move forth with the procedure, Kaitlin recapped the instructions for J.B to absorb as provided by the professor.

"The thought of conducting DNA testing with our fingerprints can't get any more science than this," J.B reacted.

"I won't thrust you in a situation that will make you feel uncomfortable," said Horatio. "The choice is all yours that comes down to."

In this negotiation, the trio's outcome hangs in the air. From the time they went above and beyond to defend a middle aged professor from danger to their investigation on the circumstances surrounding a scientist's tragedy, every life threatening event that they've witnessed and endured since the expo culminates into this very decision.

"You guys ready to do this?" Ryan asked aware of the repercussion coming out of this.

"Blood related or not, I don't want to lose any more folks close to us," Kaitlin volunteered on that regard.

"It's not even a question," J.B stepped forth in this offer.

As they aligned themselves, Professor Hart directed the trio towards a high tech hand scanning unit while getting underway with the instructions.

"The procedure should be self explanatory. Simply place your hand on the palm scanner screen displayed towards you. I should warn you that our sensory detector may cause a minor shock to your hand," Horatio clarified on the matter.
