"Oh! Hello, Lieutenant."

"Hello. You must be the daughter of Mr. Choi. It's... umm... Choi Sunghee-unnie, right?"

"That would be me. You can just call me Bada, though. Your name is Naeun, right?"

"Umm... yes. What brings you here?"

"Just passing through today. Had to give my dad something on the way to work."

"I see... how did you know I was a Lieutenant?"

"Given that my dad's a senior member of the company, I get the ins-and-outs of some important people. He showed me a pic of you once!"

All of a sudden, sirens begin to blast through the building.

"Lieutenant Son! There's been a break-in! It's an attack! Khan is here!" an officer yells through Naeun's walkie-talkie.

"Troops! Secure the building! Isolate the Khan members! Quick!"

"Is there anything that I can do to help?"

"Bada-unnie, evacuate the building with the rest of the staff. We can handle things here. It's our job to keep people like you safe."

"I understand. We should find some other time to chat!"

-

"Uhhh... guys? You seeing this?" Bomi says.

"What is it, unnie?" Namjoo says as she peers out of the bathroom.

Chorong races out of the office to see the television. "Oh, no..." she mutters.

"What do we do, unnie?" Hayoung asks.

Chorong pauses. "Eunji?" she says, tapping on her morpher.

"Unnie? What is it?"

"We've got trouble. And it's at your father's company."

"I see. Bada-unnie said she was going there earlier, so we should go and investigate. I'll meet you there."

"Understood, Eunji. We'll see you there!"

-

"STOP THEM!"

"Fools... take THIS!" Jennie yells as she throws a coin at the officers.

"AHHH! MY EYES!"

Then, in an instant, Eddy takes out the officers in one foul swoop.

"Hold it right there, Khan!"

"Who goes there?!" Jennie yells.

"Drop your weapons and stand down!"

"Hey, Jennie... she looks an awful lot like you," Eddy whispers.

"Not now, oppa..." Jennie whispers.

"I SAID DROP. THE WEAPONS. HANDS. IN THE AIR."

"Not if we can help it. Zenbots!" Eddy smirks as he tosses several coins.

"Clear to engage. Open fire!"

-

"Hey, guys! So, where's the trouble in there? Bada isn't texting back. I'm really worried!"

"Don't worry, Eunji," Chorong says calmly. "We'll find her. Let's suit up and head in!"

"NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!"

"Huh?"

Then, there's an energy shot at their feet. "GAH!"

"Well, well, well..." Eddy announces. "If it isn't the pathetic cadets."

"Eddy Kim. I should've known..." Hayoung mutters.

"It isn't just me. My twin's here grabbing the tech and Jennie's holding out this lookalike inside. I've come out to scout the area and it looks like I've found some valuable test subjects!"

"What do you mean?" Namjoo says.

"Never mind that! Let's get down to business!" Bomi yells.

"CHRONO CHANGER!!!"

-

Roy had managed to slip into the testing labs while Jennie and Eddy caused the distraction. Seunghyun-hyung is looking for the "Electro-Assault Prototype", right? Soon enough, he opens a case to find the prize. "Bingo..." Taking it, he swaps it with an identical case.

Clamoring into the hallway with dozens of evacuating employees, he struggles to weave his way through the crowd. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he sees a barren hallway leading to a staircase and makes a mad dash for it after inconspicuously getting away from the sea of people.

"Sigh... didn't even have to pull any tricks..."

As Roy walks towards the staircase, he finds someone descending from above. Oh no... who could this be? To his shock, it wasn't an officer, but rather a lady in plain clothes. The lady stops as she catches sight of him.

"Don't worry! I'm unarmed!" Roy says calmly as he sets down the case while raising his arms in the air.

"Who... are you?"

"Listen... they're looking for this," Roy says as he points to the case. "I'm just trying to keep it out of their hands."

Just then, some Zenbots storm up the stairs. They zoom past Roy before making their way towards the lady. Recognizing the danger, Roy trips the front one while frantically moving in front. "TAKE THE CASE AND GET OUT! I'LL HOLD THEM OFF!"

-

"What's going on?! Nothing seems to be working!" Hayoung pants.

"This isn't good, guys..." Namjoo sighs.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Seunghyun's new toy is working like a charm!" Eddy laughs.

"Hold it together, everyone! We can't back down!" Eunji yells.

"Our energy will only get sapped further..." Bomi grunts.

"That ain't all... take THIS!!!" Eddy then fires a beam out of his sword.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

"FOOLS! Not only do your attacks go down the drain, but I AM the drain that can send it BACK! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Just then, Jennie arrives on the scene. "Well done, Eddy-oppa!"

"What happened to YOUR twin?"

"Oh, shut up, oppa. I got her to bug off."

"Hmph! Now all that's left is to find Roy after we finish these pathetic cadets off!"

However, a coin lands behind Eddy and Jennie. A bright flash goes off as static runs across their bodies.

"GAAAHHHH!!!"

Chorong quickly fires shots at Eddy and Jennie. The two stumble to the ground.

"What just happened?!" Jennie yells.

"Never mind that..." Eddy mutters.

Just then, something flashes on Eddy's armor. "Ugh... cherish your last moments together... the boss isn't going to show mercy like we did... HA!" Eddy yells before he and Jennie warp away.

"What?! Why'd they just leave us here?" Eunji grunts.

"No clue..." Bomi sighs.

"Eunji? Is that you?" a voice yells from the distance.

"Huh? Bada-unnie?! You're okay!"

Bada races over as the rangers power down. "Thank goodness I found you..."

"Wait... what are you holding, unnie?"

"This... is what Khan was after, apparently. A man handed it to me while I was escaping. He said they were looking for this."

"That's strange..." Bomi says.

"Maybe we should hold onto it before giving it back to Eunji's father's company. They don't know where we're holding out so it's best to keep it somewhere safe for now."

"I agree," Bada pants. "Let's get out of here first, though. Oh, and Eunji... I finally bumped into Naeun. She was very cordial to me. A little... TOO cordial, though."

"She's like that with anyone in the company. Otherwise she's very standoff-ish. Don't be fooled."

"Uhh... guys? Maybe we should get going before the police arrive?" Hayoung says.

"I agree. Let's move!" Chorong announces.
