A/N: Okay, I actually planed to make this SkyTate18's, or rather SkyTate19's, birthday fic, but due to exams it was delayed by nearly a month! So here's my belated birthday gift to him!
Summary: After a particularly odd battle, the Rangers, except for Sky, are acting incredibly odd. With his friends acting even weirder than normal, what is a Blue Ranger to do?
Title: Krazzy 4!

"I got it!" Bridge opened his eyes as he hoped down from his position on his hands to his feet.
"Got what?" Sky looked up, disinterested.
"Have you ever thought about whether there are people like us in other dimension who are different than we are, but not too different or else they wouldn't be like-"
"Bridge!" Jack interrupted as he sat down next to Z on the couch, "just get to the point, man."
"Right, sorry. Anyway, have you ever thought that maybe we're different than people think?" Bridge looked at the others expectantly.
"...Huh?" Z blinked.
"Okay, I'm not explaining this properly... I was saying, did you ever think we maybe have split personalities? You know, a personality totally different than the ones we really show?"
Syd frowned, "I...think I got that."
"I understand what he's saying," Z nodded and then turned to Bridge, "I can't say I have."
Jack nodded as well, "I have no idea what you said, but I agree with Z. Thoughts that go through your head never go through normal ones."
"Ha ha," Bridge said dryly.
Sky rolled his eyes, "Bridge, I think we would have noticed if we had split personalities. Don't you think someone would have noticed?"
"I...did not think of that," Bridge admitted, frowning.
RANGERS, REPORT TO THE COMMAND CENTRE!
"Aww, man!" Syd and Z groaned before following their male teammates towards the Command Centre.
"Rangers, Grumm's newest monster is creating havoc in downtown! Get there, pronto!" Cruger ordered.
"Well, of course he's creating havoc. What else would he be doing?" Z muttered under her breath, causing Bridge to let out a chuckle.
Cruger gave her a small glare which she shrugged off and ran with the others to the parking garage, reaching downtown in a matter of minutes.
"Hey you!" Bridge shouted as they ran towards him.
"Great way to give away our cover, Bridge!" Jack yelled at him as the monster wheeled around.
"Jack, we were way open! If he didn't see us anyway, he would be blind!" Bridge retorted.
"Stop it you two!" Sky yelled, a little unnerved at the fact that Jack and Bridge were arguing. Those two never argue...
The monster did not, in fact, look like much of a threat. In fact it looked like a mutated version of a teddy bear with the ears. However, the teeth, claws and large spike in the middle of its stomach did indeed look threatening.
"Guys, let's take it down!" Jack yelled as his team attacked. Bridge, the fastest of them, reached first and leapt up, kicking the thing in the face and knocking it back.
"Nice!" Sky called as punched the thing after Bridge moved out of the way.
Jack whipped out his laser pistol and shot the thing in the arm, though it didn't have any effect.
"Guys, I got an idea!" Sky yelled and then blinked as he saw that Z was standing well away from the fight. She seemed completely terrified of the fight and was literally shivering where she stood. Sky had no time to think about this though as his attention was drawn by Jack yelling at him
"No way! I'm the leader, I get the ideas!" Jack yelled from behind the monster.
"What?!" Jack had never opposed an idea just because he was leader before. Sky couldn't believe what the heck was happening and then a high-pitched shriek from Syd drew his attention again.
The monster had managed to grab Syd's arm and was preventing her from escaping while the Pink Ranger was screaming, "LET GO OF ME! LET ME BE FREE!"
Sky sweatdropped at the sight and then his eyes widened as Bridge delivered an especially brutal blow to the monster's stomach, just shy of the spike. The creature let go of Sydney who kept some distance from the monster. Bridge however wasn't letting go of his assault, beating the thing brutally without showing any sign of stopping.
Sky ran up to Bridge and grabbed him by the arm, pulling him away, "What is wrong with you?! All of you?!"
"Let go!" Bridge yelled, pulling against Sky's hold.
The monster meanwhile had taken a foothold and was now growling at the two Rangers again. They were joined by the others, Z being dragged behind Syd, though she still looked petrified, and they were unable to do anything as the spike on the monster's stomach glowed and a large beam shot out, knocking them all back.
Sky managed to get back on his feet due to the ache, but he was unable to stop the monster from teleporting. Grabbing hold of his morpher, he looked back at his other teammates before yelling into the communicator, "We need help! Jack, Z, Syd and Bridge are unconscious."

"You don't remember anything?" Sky said incredously as he looked at his laid-out teammates.
Bridge sat up in his infirmary bed and frowned, "I felt... anger. That thing just told me that the hit I got on him was a cheap shot and then I exploded."
"That thing talked?" Z raised an eyebrow.
"Yup. Well, his thoughts did," Bridge shrugged sheepishly.
"You got angry because that thing thought you got a cheap shot?" Syd said incredously.
"Like I said, it's weird..."
"Well, I felt like I had to be in control of what was happening..." Jack said thoughtfully and then looked up at Sky, "Sorry about that, man."
Sky grinned slightly, "No problem. It was kinda fun to hear you freak out."
Syd frowned, "I felt... like I needed freedom. Like I couldn't stand being restricted."
Z shook her head, "I felt terrified, like I couldn't even speak..."
Kat came in with a clip board, "Well, I don't know about that, but maybe it was just an effect of the monster. Sky was unaffected as far as I know and next time you meet that thing, you should probably morph immediately."
"Gotcha Kat," Bridge gave her a thumbs-up as he bounced off his bed and dashed past Kat towards his own room.
"I thought he wasn't cleared yet?" Sky questioned.
"He isn't! BRIDGE!" Kat ran out behind the wayward Green Ranger as the others began laughing. Jack, Syd and Z took this opportunity to dash out the infirmary and for the next few minutes, all that was heard in the Academy were footsteps as Kat chased the four uncleared Rangers around the base, her shrieking and the others laughing.

The next morning, amidst a mountain of clutter, Jack Landers opened his eyes... and was completely appalled by the sight of the clutter around his room. At one time, he probably would have loved to se that his room was even messier than before, but now...
Jack did the unthinkable that morning.
He...CLEANED! The entire room all by himself! That would be something that would have made the Commander have puppies right then and there.

At the same time, in another room decorated in yellow and pink, two girls sat up, one of them screaming, "LIBERTY, FRATERNITY, EQUALITY!" and the other one just screaming.
Syd changed her clothes, into her uniform again, and stormed out, screaming for freedom while Z changed and followed behind her timidly.
Cadets ran out of their way, staring at the sight of the petite Pink Ranger screaming madly and the normally spunky, fearless Yellow Ranger following like a puppy.
Sky stared as they stormed past him, his jaw dropping open before he gathered his brain cells and followed after them. On his way, he glanced into Jack's open bedroom only to have his jaw drop open again at the fact that the Red Ranger's room was even more organized than his!
"Jack?" Sky called tentatively.
Jack came out of the bathroom in a clean, crisp, ironed uniform (If Sky were a cartoon character, his eyes would have popped out like the Mask's) and the moment he saw Sky... he grabbed a nearby duster and began flicking it all over his uniform.
"Jack, what the hell are you doing?!" Sky yelled, now really freaked out.
"You had lint on your uniform," Jack spat the word 'lint' out like poison.
"Okay, that's it, you guys are coming with me to Cruger," Sky grabbed Jack by the arm, only to have the Red Ranger screech about him spreading dirt on his uniform. He ignored him and dragged him to the Command Centre, sweatdropping at the sight of Syd marching around the console like she was in the army while Z cowered near one of the monitors.
"Cadet, what is the matter with your teammates?" Cruger asked, staring at the three.
"I don't know, but they've all lost it!" Sky said as Jack began wiping the console, even shining the Commander's clawed feet.
Cruger sweatdropped, "Uh, Kat?"
Kat came in and barely managed to keep a straight face at the sight of the Command Centre, "I don't know what is happening, but I think it may have something to do with that monster attack..."
Sky's eyes widened in horror, "If it's connected to that monster attack, then... oh no, Bridge!"
At that moment, there was a scream by someone definitely male followed by what sounded like an angry roar before Boom came running into the Command Centre, hiding behind Cruger's desk.
"Ah Boom?" Kat called.
"Please don't let him get me!" a voice squeaked from behind the desk.
"Let who-" Sky's question was cut off as Bridge came storming into the room, his fists clenched and a look of pure fury on his face, "Ah, Bridge?"
Bridge suddenly calmed down and smiled, "Yes?"
"Why were you chasing Boom?"
"I'm not," came the confused reply.
"Right..." Sky looked at Kat, "test them for drugs or something, please."

"So what's the verdict?" Sky asked from where he was sitting outside the infirmary.
"Well, I think you should see this for yourself..." Kat said sheepishly, leading him and the Commander inside, "these are tapes we made of the psychologists trying to figure out what's the matter."
She pulled up a tape of Jack first and they watched as the man began to ask him questions.
"So, when did you start feeling this way?" the psychologist questioned.
Jack didn't answer, but instead kept looking at a stain on the man's pant leg. No matter how much the psychologist questioned, Jack didn't answer until finally he could take it no more and he stood up.
The moment the man stood up, Jack was up as well, tackling the man to the ground and holding him there as he tried to get the stain on his pants off.
Sky sweatdropped and then the tape changed to that of Syd's.
"So, have you been feeling... odd lately?" the other psychologist questioned.
Syd didn't answer, but instead kept looking out the window or towards the door as thought looking for a way to escape. The psychologist quickly lost his temper.
"Answer me!" he yelled. Syd ran towards the door, which immediately opened and then ran into the corridor screaming, "FREEDOM!" as other doctors chased after her.
"Did they catch her?" Sky questioned. In response, Kat just pointed out the door where Syd came screaming past, four doctors chasing her.
"Oookay... what about Bridge and Z?" Sky asked, turning back to Kat.
"Nothing much happened with Z except for the fact that she won't speak and that she seems terrified completely except when she's with Bridge or Syd. As for Bridge..." she brought up another video.
The psychologist paced about the room while Bridge sat on his chair, smiling serenely.
"So, Carson, do you know why you're here?" he asked gruffly.
"Nope," Bridge said cheerfully.
"You're here because you've been acting oddly," the man supplied.
"Okay," Bridge had no change in expression.
"He seems to be normal..." Sky commented.
"Looks can be deceiving," Kat said dryly.
"Why do I get all the nuts?" the man muttered.
At that point, Bridge's expression did a complete one eighty. Where as he was first looking completely calm and happy, he was now looking like he was about to explode. Sky had never seen that type of anger on the Green Ranger's face before.
"Excuse me?" Bridge's voice was icy cold.
"You heard me," the man said before he turned around and saw the look on Bridge's face as the Green Ranger paced closer, looking into the taller man's eyes defiantly, "now just calm down. You're just acting crazy-"
Bridge didn't let him finish before whacking the man across the face (one of those manly slaps, not the female ones). Sky watched open mouth as Bridge lunged forward again only for the man to leap up on the table in the room, screaming for help.
"What the hell?" he muttered.
"From what we can tell, Jack has become a control freak, Syd is somewhat schizophrenic, Z is apathetic and Bridge is an angry young man," Kat supplied.
"But how?" Sky asked, totally shocked.
"We did an energy test on the monster that attack and from what we've found out, these symptoms were seen in them while they were first fighting," Kat began to explain.
"I remember," Sky nodded.
"That monster has some sort of effect on them when they come close to him, like he's some sort of... radio, I guess you could say. That beam just made his influence on the even stronger. If he hadn't hit you with the beam, they'd probably have been normal away from that monster."
"But why were they affected? Why not me?"
"Your shield civilian power protected you from this influence. This beam brings out your... inner self I guess, your other personality."
"Split personality..." Sky muttered.
"Jack, though he seems messy and has a devil-may-care attitude, he needs to be in control of every thing. He has an obsessive disorder, I guess you could say. Sydney, who has been pampered for God knows how long, feels the need to be free from her parents and to just have some independence. Therefore, she seems to be living in the past or something. Z just seems frightened, I'm guessing because inside she's afraid of her experiences on the street but hides it. Bridge has an intermittent explosive disorder, meaning he can be calm for one second, but he explodes at the slightest provocation. If I'm right, he's often teased and taunted, but he just blows it off as nothing. He keeps it suppressed, but he gets just as angry as anyone else when people tease and taunt him."
"But what we do about this?" Sky sighed.
"Well, keep Jack in control somewhat; be gentle with Z, careful with Syd and cautious with Bridge. According to the psychologist he hit, he really is stronger than he looks."
"Whoa, why am I in charge of them?" Sky blinked.
"You wanted to be Red Ranger right? Here's your team!" she waved a hand at the approaching four.
Sky sighed, "Great... my team is the crazy four!"
Bridge heard the tail end of that statement and whacked Sky over the head, "That's crazy with a 'k'!"
Sky rolled his eyes and rubbed the back of his head, "Fine, the Krazzy 4."
Bridge grinned, "Got that right!"
