It was only a matter of time before Blaze and Roxy made their return. The alarms rang loudly through the whole Grid Battleforce building as the Rangers rushed to the lab to see what was going on.

"There's a security breach outside one of the Morph-X distribution centres," Commander Shaw stated as soon as the team arrived. Ben and Betty, who were right behind them, heard this too.

The Rangers wasted no time in heading out. Betty watched them go, for a moment, before she turned to Commander Shaw.

"We can help. We just finished a new weapon I know can help!"

Commander Shaw gave them a nod. Ben and Betty had been promoted for this very reason. While they could be more trouble than they were worth, they had the potential to be of great assistance to the Rangers in battle. They were brave and willing to do what needed to be done. And since Commander Shaw couldn't be on the battlefield with the Rangers, she wanted to be sure someone was there as an extra hand.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, Commander?" Sarah asked as Betty bounced off excitedly, with Ben dragging his feet behind her. "They don't have powers."

"They're excitable, But they've never been reckless," Commander Shaw said.

Kelly arrived through the doors in that moment. Since she had gotten the job as the head of public relations, she had been granted full access to the building. While she had her own office and plenty of work to keep her busy on a regular day, Kelly needed to know exactly what was going on in battles so she could report it honestly to the public and be sure the Rangers didn't receive negative press from outside media.

"What's happening?"

"Security breach at the Morph-X distribution centre," Commander Shaw stated.

"First public fight," Kelly said worriedly. "Do you think they're ready?"

"We weren't," Sarah told her. "We made it work."

They watched the screens as the Rangers arrived on scene. Ben and Betty weren't far behind. Security cameras from the building could catch the whole battlefield.

"How many of these cameras can we tap into?" Kelly asked.

"All city and traffic cameras, and even business security cameras," Nate answered. "The Mayor understood it would help with surveillance."

"And I have access to that?" Kelly asked. She wanted to be sure what she could use in her releases and what Commander Shaw wanted to keep hidden.

"Avoid exposing Ranger identities and anything you think you need is yours," Commander Shaw approved.

"Commander, we're having a bit of an issue," Nate called. "Ravi and Zoey are... showing off?"

"What?" Commander Shaw frowned. She made her way over. She watched as Zoey and Ravi seemed to bicker, and from the sound of it, they were trying to establish on the battlefield who the better leader would be, splitting their attention away from the Tronics they were meant to be fighting while Devon was busy holding off Blaze. When he finally had a minute to catch his breath, Devon ran to his teammates to refocus them.

"And the long-standing tradition of red leaders continues," Sarah muttered.

"One fight does not a leader make," Commander Shaw told her.

The battle continued, but this time, it wasn't Blaze Devon was fighting. While he had to break up his teammates bickering, Devon and Scrozzle has time to create a robot. Cyclotron appeared on the battle field. Zoey and Devon, who wanted to split the blue and yellow Rangers up still had Tronics to manage, so it was up to Ravi to handle the robot himself.

The Rangers managed well, for the most part. There were a few hiccups as everyone expected, they were were quickly overcome as Devon summoned Cruise as a bike to help finish off the Tronics.

Suddenly, a stray, starving dog rushed into the battlefield and stopped at a pile of garbage, which had been knocked over during the fight. He rummaged for food, completely ignoring the fight happening behind him.

Devon saw the dog and suddenly lost complete control of himself. He was frozen, staring at the dog, and there seemed to be nothing he could do to get that control back. He was vulnerable on the battlefield.

"Nate, what's happening?" Devon asked through the communicators. "Why can't I move?"

"I... I don't know," Nate answered. "Just hold tight, I'll figure it out."

"I don't have much of a choice," Devon commented, unaware that behind him, one remaining Tronics was slowly approaching.

Ben and Betty, who so far had only been watching the fight, knew they needed to act. Devon was in trouble and Ravi and Zoey were now busy dealing with Cycletron.

"We have to help," Betty told her brother before she raced into the fight. She stood between Devon and the Tronic, then looked around for something to throw.

"Eat trash you... trash!" Betty shouted as she launched a piece of wooden debris at the Tronic. It didn't hurt the robot but it caused enough of a distraction for Ben to sneak up behind it and zap it using their new weapon: the Zap-O-Matic.

The Tronic sparked, then crumbled as the added electricity in its system caused it to short out. At that same moment, Devon watched the dog run off, having found no more food on the trash. He breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around to thank Ben and Betty for their assist.

"You saved my butt. Thanks. Now get somewhere safe!"

"But we can..."

"You heard the man," Ben interrupted his sister as he grabbed her and dragged her off. The Rangers had this under control.

At least, that was what the siblings thought. Though the battle with Cycletron wasn't over, it seemed Ravi had set his sights on a new target: Zoey. Ravi fired shots from his blaster, forcing Zoey to jump and dodge his attacks.

"Guys! Fight the monster, not each other!"

"Tell him that!" Zoey called back, sounding completely winded.

Devon, tired of the fighting, was ready to put an end to things quickly. He charged towards the blue Ranger, knocked him to the ground and stole his blaster from his hand. He then used the blaster to fire several shots at Cycletron, destroying him for good.

"Virus eliminated," he stated and as he powered down, he turned to look at Ravi. The blue Ranger had also powered down, but he lay on the ground, sweating profusely. Devon knelt next to him and put a hand on his arm. When he did, he felt the blue Ranger was hot, as if he had somehow developed a fever during the battle.

"Guys, Ravi isn't doing so hot... or... cold?" Devon said to others through his communicator. "I think something's wrong."

"Let's get him back," Ben suggested as he helped Devon get Ravi to his feet.

"Who turned the sun up?" Ravi asked.

"We'll get you cooled down, bud," Devon promised. "Zoey! Ravi's not feeling well! We gotta take him back!"

As Devon and Ben put Ravi in the siblings' truck to being them home, Betty looked around for Zoey. She didn't respond to Devon and Betty couldn't see her.

"Zoey?" She called, but still the yellow Ranger didn't answer. Last she saw, Zoey had been doing a good job of dodging Ravi's attacks, but it was possible she had been hit. Running back to check, Betty was surprised to find Zoey on the ground.

"Zoey, we're heading back," Betty told her as she knelt beside her and checked for injuries. Zoey appeared unharmed, but was barely responding at all to Betty. "Come on, Zoey. Rangers are tougher than this."

She tried to help Zoey up, but the yellow Ranger was dead weight. Betty tried to shake her, hoping she would wake up enough to tell her what was wrong. Zoey only moaned in response.
"Ben!" Betty shouted and her brother came running. Seeing Zoey's state, he didn't hesitate to pick her up.

"She's really out of it," he said. He brought her over to the van and gently placed her across the seat.
