Chapter 7—Much Needed Rest

Once the Rangers arrived home and changed into their normal, casual clothes, they reactivated Beta 1 and told him how much he had missed out on.

'Sounds like quite the ordeal. I'm surprised you handled so well without me.', he said with some arrogance. Somni, too, had just been pleased just to be back with her friend and blossoming lover. She instantly welcomed him into her embrace and said nothing else.

'This makes it all worthwhile.', he beamed. She wasn't even jealous of him falling for Delta, since she had realized it was the influence of a love potion.

Billy still was pressuring Delta about how the quantum mechanics of the hyper ship worked, but he realized that she and everyone else was positively enervated. All everyone needed was a respite.

Outside of Headquarters, Bulk and Skull walked away from the arcade, completely dazed.

'Hey, Skully. Do you know why we're in the arcade or why I have a major brain freeze ?', Bulk questioned, clearly flummoxed as to why they were where they were. Both were intensely confused.

'Not a clue, Bulkmeister. Let's head home, sleep off that brain freeze…OWWW.', Bulk concurred, massaging his throbbing temples. Apparently, they had downed an insane number of ICEES at the arcade and the sugar rush had worn off.
