The mecha vanished as the Rangers went to the ground, seeing the Ultraman still there.

Nexus turned, looking at them again, before walking away towards the woods.

"Wait!" Aiden called.

She stopped...but did not turn around...hearing what he had to say, but willing to entertain it.

Before he could talk, Tia pushed him out of the way, "Please, can you come here?"

The distinctive thought appeared in Tia's mind. What could you want with me? Nexus gave, as she walked closer to the Rangers, muscles tensed...prepared for anything.

"To say I'm sorry," she said softly, "Rei."

Seek me out later, if you have the courage to say it to my face, when we're alone. They do not need to know. Such was the thought that appeared in her mind, the only physical action was a fist being clenched at her side.

She pulled her helmet off and walked over, grabbing her arm, "No," she said, looking at her transformed face, "I don't care if they know. I'm sorry."
The others looked at each other, confused. Aiden put a hand up to keep them quiet.

I meant every word that I said in that note. I was disappointed that you didn't feel the same way...but had you even given it a chance? You wanted to be around people. To be kind to them, to help them....yet could you accept someone who was different than you? The tone of the thought was definitely hurt.

"I can, and I will," she told her, "Please, change your form."

If I change my form, I lose my freedom to act. Your team will know me, your government will also know me. The Light serves no organization, Tia. And I'm no heroine. I want no fame, or accolades. The thought returned.

"I don't want to do that to you," she said, "And it won't happen."
She put her arms around Rei, "Please."

Nexus sighed, though no visible indication showed...and her arms went around Tia's suit, red light engulfing the both of them before dissipating to reveal Rei in human form, her arms around Tia. It was fitting, in a very ironic way...

"I'm so sorry," she whispered, hugging her tighter.
