Underlying Woes (Part 4)

The sunlight glowed on his skin, his stance powerful without movement. He had changed his location from where he was before as he was expecting someone to return. A beam radiated from behind, showing his second in command standing tall. He slightly limped over to his boss, worried inside rather than expressed, "You lost."

The soldier stops, "Sir-"

"You lost!" Kent shouts, turning around fast and hitting his partner forcibly. He hits the concrete top of the building on his back, nearly screaming, "You know I don't like failure."

"We've faced her together and apart, and with the Rangers with her she's almost unstoppable." Will informs.

"Almost doesn't mean a thing, if you are not it, you're not it." Kent walks over to kneel down next to him and point to his chest, "You should know better than anyone, you could've wiped them out right then and there. I showed you the book-"

"You showed me a page-"

"You're lucky I showed you at all!" Kent bellows madly, "That alone should give you some insight."

"I got it, I got it, I'll handle them better." Will defends himself, hands up in surrender.

Kent gives him a look and stands up, his back to his partner and walking towards the edge of the rooftop again. Will makes it to knees to question, "What's next?"

"We try again, but I have a better idea." Kent tells him, smirking.

"Emma wait up!" Troy shouts.

Caught off guard, the pink ranger turns around, "What's up?"

"What's up with you? You know going off alone is my thing." Troy jokes a little, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Emma says. Troy raises an eyebrow, "What?"

"You're a bad liar." Troy tells her and slightly tilts his head, "Wanna try again?"

Emma sighs, "You're right. I'm not like everyone else. I mean, how am I supposed to be useful if I can't fight like you guys can?"

"We weren't all taught the same Emma. You're useful because you don't fight the same." Troy tries to reassure her.

"It won't be enough." Emma sadly responds.

"Then we have some work to do, don't we?" Both sky rangers turn around at the voice. Standing in his red jungle fury gear, the former Ranger relays to the Rangers, "Trust me, you're not alone."

The pair smile at the familiar face.

Farther away, the remaining heroes enter the Command Center. Tensou rolls out when he hears their footsteps, "Oh boy! That was some fight. Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine Tensou, thanks." Gia ripostes.

"You said you two had history?" Orion brings up again to Savannah, "How far back?"

"Far enough. I can't wait to stab him and watch him bleed out on the floor until he dies." Savannah seethes darkly. She looks up to see the disturbed faces of the others, "What? Too much?"

"Yeeeaahhh....so, how do we beat him?" Jake asks.

"I've been trying for a while. The best I've got is weakening him." Savannah states.

"Well, maybe we could try that. Combine different Ranger powers to weaken him." Noah suggests.

"Like what?" Gia inquires.

"Who's the strongest Ranger you can think of?" Savannah questions.

"Easy. Tommy Oliver has been tons of different colors." Jake responds.

"But that's just it, which color is the strongest?" Noah mentions.

"Wouldn't the original green be the strongest? It is his first." Orion speaks up.

"Well us green men do have our ways." Jake boasts a bit.

"Being first doesn't mean your the best." Gia deflates his ego, "What about the black dino ranger?"

"Mmm, I don't know. I was thinking Zeo Red." Noah says.

"White ranger?" Orion shrugs.

"This is frustrating! All of the Rangers are powerful. If anything, we're the most powerful team." Gia speaks.

"Don't you guys flip back and forth between modes?" Savannah queries.

"Yeah and we still got our butts kicked." Jake replies.

"Then why don't you try not doing that?" Savannah suggests.

"That's how we keep our powers going. We can only stay in it for a short time." Noah tells her.

"Exactly." The others become puzzled, "Super Mega Mode. You guys barely use it because you have Legendary powers. Use what you have and combine it."

"You mean...take Ultra Mode and combine with Super Mega Mode? Can we do that?" Jake quizzes.

Noah shrugs, "It's not impossible."

"It sounds crazy powerful though." Gia adds, "But we can't just lay it on him."

"It will take some time before such a blow can happen." Gosei booms.

"Noah, you and Tensou can get started on how to combine them. Jake, Orion, and I will come up with some ways corner Will." Gia directs. Savannah fake coughs, "Oh, and Savannah too." Gia apologetically looks in her direction, "Sorry."

"Actually I was thinking more on the lines of, Savannah can teach us a few things considering she's dealt with this guy firsthand." Savannah retorts.

"And you said you weren't a mentor." Jake smirks a little.

"I'm not, but all of you need work." Savannah counters, a smile gracing her features afterwards.

She confidently strides out of the base. The others watch her leave. Jake shakes his head.
