The cables were useless now and Dillon shrugged them off. He rolled his shoulders and stretched, as if trying out his body for the first time. And in fact it was, the first time he'd been consciously aware while all of his circuit were active. And he couldn't have felt better.

Except the inner part of him that was screaming in resigned frustration.

His smirk still in place, he walked over and crouched next to the downed Green Ranger. He flicked the switch on the morpher, causing the suit to disappear, then reached down and lifted Ziggy's chin so he could look him in the eyes. "Pathetic. To think, I cared about such a pitiful creature. But I suppose I should be thanking you. Those misguided 'feelings' lead me to this and I have never felt better. So, I will give you this, since I hate being in debt to anyone."

Then he leaned down and kissed Ziggy softly, almost lovingly. Which was contrasted sharply when he shoved Ziggy's head away as he stood. "As an added bonus, we'll spare you. Have fun explaining to the others how you failed." Then with laugh, Dillon turned back to join his new family.
