The Rangers caught up with the Prince just outside the homeless shelter. As it turned out, he had donated money to the shelter so they could afford food, clothing, blankets as well as other supplies they would need. If it had been anyone else, the Rangers would have been happy to see a good deed being done. But they were all still angry with the news of how the Prince had treated Kendall. Koda was ready to break his skull, and was held back only by the fact that cowardice wasn't a good reason to hurt another human.

Chase, after learning the truth on his way over, was more than ready to break the Prince's neck. He grabbed the Prince by the arm, dragging him off to a nearby ally with the others. There was more privacy to talk about their Ranger duties, and there would be less people around to see him hurt the Prince if the occasion called for him. He shoved the Prince in the brick wall.

"Where is it?" he asked.

"Does the museum need more?" the Prince asked. "Or perhaps I should make a donation to Kendall herself..."

"Stay away from Kendall!" Koda growled.

"We know you have the graphite energem," Tyler said. The Prince looked to his jacket. He reached into his pocket to pull out the energem in question.

"I only found it about a week ago," he said. "I've tried everything, but the energem still hasn't chosen me."

"Ha!" Chase laughed in his face. "You think, after what you did, the energem would choose to bond with you?"

"I know I ran back there," the Prince said. "It wasn't my finest moment..."

"You could have gotten her killed!"

"And I do so regret that," the Prince nodded. "That's why I've been doing this. Energems bond with Rangers. Rangers are heroes. My good deeds for the city of Amber Beach should make me a hero."

"Energems no bond with hero," Koda told him. "Energem bond with people who do good."

"What more can I do?" the Prince asked. "I've donated my money, my treasures and my discoveries to the museum. I brought food to the homeless shelter. I've even got plans to build a park for the children of Amber Beach. I was just about to head to the local school with a truckload of supplies..."

"Why?" Shelby asked him. "Because it's the right thing to do or because you want to be a hero?"

"There is a difference," Riley added.

"And none of what you're doing can begin to make up for what you almost did to us," Chase said. "You traded Kendall to Fury? You left her to fight Sledge on her own?"

"It's not like I had the means to help," the Prince said. "But I've been working on that too. I've hired a professional trainer, the best in the world. I assure you, the next time those monsters turn up..."

"You'll sick another robot on them?" Tyler asked. "Like you did earlier?"

"I thought I was helping," the Prince said. "With a robot, you don't need to worry about sacrifices. If they get destroyed, you can just build a new one. He was supposed to help you."

"We want nothing from you," Chase said and snatched the energem from the Prince. "You nearly cost us a good friend..."

"I couldn't have done anything anyways!" the Prince argued. "At least Kendall made it out alive. If I had stayed..."

"If you hadn't taken the gold energem from us in the first place, neither of you would have been in that position," Chase growled. "We'll take the energem back. We'll find a better owner for it. Come on, guys."

Tyler, Shelby and Riley followed Chase, leaving the alley. Koda, once more, stayed behind. He glared angrily at the Prince.

"Owe Kendall apology."

"I've done all I could," the Prince said. "I've given back the treasures, I've donated to the museum. What else..."

"Not with things," Koda said. "If Prince truly sorry, he tells Kendall."

"I agree with Sir Koda," Ivan nodded as he looked to the Prince. "You have wronged Lady Kendall."

"I... I can't face her again," the Prince shook his head. "Since that attack, I've felt nothing but guilt and shame. Until my return, I wasn't even sure she had survived. I thought bonding with the energem, becoming a hero, would make up for my mistake."

"Kendall is best friend," Koda put his hand on his chest. "I very scared when hear Sledge attack her. No one replace best friend."

"He is right," Ivan agreed once more. "Becoming a hero would not make up for a life lost."

The Prince looked down at his shoes and he could feel the guilt still eating away at him. It seemed it didn't matter what he did. Treating his servants with more respect couldn't fix him. Making donations to the museum made him feel good for only a brief amount of time before the guilt came back. Donating to the city didn't make him feel any better. The guilt and the shame were still overwhelming.

"An apology, you say?"

"To Kendall," Koda said. "I give one chance to make right with Kendall. If Prince refuse..." Koda trailed off to crack his knuckles. The Prince gulped.

"I will give my best apology."

Koda shook his head. "No. Apology with heart."
