Cycletron was gone for good and the Rangers had worked out the glitch in their suits. While there was no permanent fix to what Nate had termed "weaknesses", they were able to prevent them.

Devon's weakness was simple. The programming had been altered so that his cheetah DNA didn't just fear dogs, but caused him to freeze up at the sight of them. He would lose complete control of himself and that left him vulnerable in battle.

Ravi's weakness was related to tempurature. If he overheated, it triggered an anger reaction in his suit and caused him to attack anything in sight with rage. Though turning that against the robots might work, Ravi ran the terrifying risk of attacking and hurting one of his teammates, and since his gorilla DNA boosted his strength, it was very likely he could cause sever injuries. Staying cool would prevent that from happening.

Zoey's rabbit DNA gifted her with a boost in energy, which in turn allowed her to jump higher, faster, and be more agile. However, the glitch that caused her weakness meant that, though she had a boost in energy, her body, whether morphed or not, consumed energy twice as quickly as normal, leaving her vulnerable to fatigue. Nate's solution was to keep her fuelled with complexe carbs. As the body's main energy source, they would provide Zoey with quick and lasting energy to keep her going, as long as she ate regularly.

Still, there was one problem left to be solved. The team needed a leader, and if the scolding from Commander Shaw was anything to go by, Zoey and Ravi had not made great choices in battle. Their bickering over leadership and showing off what they thought was their best traits had distracted them from the fight. While the result wasn't negative this time, it opened up the possibility for injury or even death.

That couldn't be tolerated.

Commander Shaw dismissed them and Devon, Ravi and Zoey made their way to the Ranger Hangout, determined to choose a leader before the end of the day.

Ravi knew he let his ego get the best of him in battle. He knew he hadn't made the right choices, but he also knew someone who had.

"Can I make a suggestion?" He asked. He knew the others thought he would give another reason why he should lead, but he had something different in mind. "Devon, you were focused and you fought until the end. You kept me and Zoey on task and... well, you dont even want to be leader."

"I'm cool with whoever."

"That's just it," Ravi said. "Leaders lead. They stay calm, they make the right choices, but they also know when to step back. As much as I want to be the best choice, I don't think I am. You are."

"But I don't want to be," Devon said. Ravi nodded.

"It's a huge responsibility, but the fact that you aren't fighting with us over who gets to lead makes me think you're the best choice. You won't be afraid to hand over the position when someone else knows better. Leaders know when to step back, help others up, or take charge and that's what you did today. You took charge."

"You really think I can do it?" Devon asked and Ravi nodded his head.

"Dude, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't think it."

"Zoey?"

"Yeah?" Zoey asked and looked as if she hadn't been listening.

"Devon for leader?" Ravi asked her Zoey nodded.

"Right. Yeah, I agree. It's a good idea."

"You guys will back me up?" Devon asked and both nodded their heads. "Then I guess I accept."

"I'll tell the Commander," Ravi said. He got up from the couch to go find his mother. Devon, wager to get home, started to follow him out but stopped when he noticed Zoey hadn't moved.

"Zoey, you okay?"

"Yeah," Zoey nodded. "I'll just be a minute. I'm still a bit, wiped."

"Do you want me to wait?"

"No. I'll see you... later, I guess."

"Tomorrow," Devon nodded before leaving. Almost as soon as he did, Zoey rose to her feet, clutched her chest and started to struggle with her breath. She paced the room, feeling her temperature rise while her body started to tremble.

She was gonna be sick, she was sure of it. Her stomach turned and she gagged. She continued to pace, hoping she could walk off her discomfort; hoping it would pass quickly. She tried to focus on her breathing, but her mind kept going back to what happened earlier. She didn't like being in trouble. She didn't like that she had made the choice to try and fight for leadership. She couldn't lead, and now that she had almost cost herself and her teammates the fight, she was sure that was Commander Shaw's thinking too.

She had been cut from the team for a reason, and today she had just proven why.

She wasn't cut out for this. Commander Shaw knew it, what if everyone else did too?
