Chapter 9: Forgiven and Plans

(Scene switch: Living Quarters/Kendrix' POV)

When we reached the door of the Living Quarters, I suddenly stopped. My heart was racing, will the others forgive me for my attitude? Will the Lightspeed Rangers forgive me? I swallowed a lump in my throat, and Maya noticed my nervousness. She placed her hand on my shoulder,

"Kendrix, it'll be fine. Just face them, there's no point in trying to hide." I nodded,

"OK. I'm ready. Lets go." And Maya pushed the button to open the automatic door. We both stepped in. By the time I showed my face, I was getting blank stares from everyone. I shuffled on my feet uneasily. I took a deep breath.

"You guys, I'm… I'm sorry for behaviour. I let my anger and vengeance blind me and… I'm deeply sorry for hurting you all. Physically and emotionally. Can you… can you forgive me?" For a second, no one answered, I feared they still hate me, then Carter stepped forward.

"Myself and my team forgive you. We understood the position you were in." I smiled awkwardly, soon, Mike got up.

"You finally came to the sense that revenge doesn't solve anything." He lent out his hand, "Welcome back to the team." I then engaged Mike in a hug and the others got involved, so did the Lightspeed Rangers. Of course, I have to forgive Heather too! I broke away then.

"Where's Heather?" I asked them.

"Here." A voice squeaked. I turned, Heather was sitting on the couch. I slowly walked over to her. I figured she was still scared of me because I yelled and swore a lot then. She's probably scared of me even more when I hurt Carter and Mike. I knelt down to her at eye-level.

"Hey Heather. Look, all I want is… do you forgive me? I don't expect you to forgive me now because I was being a bit scary and I wasn't the most friendliest Ranger." A slight smile met her lips.

"I do forgive you." And she locked me in a hug. Now, I hate to break up this good moment, but Trakeena is still out there and she needs to be dealt with, so does Triskull and I have a plan. I stood up and turned to everyone.

"Hey, I have a plan, to infiltrate the office building without hurting innocent civilians." I said,

"Go on Kendrix. We're all ears." Carter said,

"Don't hate me, but Heather is getting involved, only a little bit. But it's a way to get the people out." I looked at Heather, "Heather, I need you to walk inside the building, find a Fire Alarm and pull it.",

"What!? My dad told me never to pull a Fire Alarm, only in an emergency!" She exclaimed, making me look like I'm gone mad or something.

"And it is an emergency! When we go out there, you just got to trust me. I'll be outside watching. Just pull it and get out." Next, I turned to Carter, "Now, you and the rest of group, just disguise yourselves as Firefighters, guide the people out until it's clear. Then myself, you and Mike will charge inside." I finished. Everyone nodded, agreeing to plan.

Thinking myself, it does seem better than ramming my Jet Jammer, packed with 3 Nuclear Bomb Cells by remote control. Plus, three of those Bomb Cells have enough energy to match the power and strength of an Atomic Bomb, despite their small size. Also, if someone found out I was responsible for the attack and the deaths of all the people inside, the finger will be pointed at me and I'll be forever hated.

"Alright you guys, lets put my plan into action!",

"Lead the team." Mike offered. We all made our way to the area where the "Rescue Rover"? I think that's what they call it and we all jumped in. I last to get on because I had to lift Heather, but it worked out eventually and Dana hit the ignition and drove out, full speed.

Trakeena, be ready for the ultimate showdown. You will pay for killing Leo.
