((Damon's POV))

…sigh…

Here I go again.

You know, I thought of myself as a great mechanic and an average Ranger. Yes, I said an average ranger. I had a lot of time during those tour groups to look up information on the past Power Rangers. Those guys were truly legendary. Me? I am just a blink in the long line of rangers. Sure, I can fix things on a fly when we are in the heart of battle. I have saved more doors from Kai's trigger happy ways and fixed more household appliances after Leo finish cooking. I kept the operation systems from going haywire when someone isn't suppose to be touch the control panel. I have done my job well at Terra Venture because no one has complained about my work.

Please, someone answer one question for me.

WHY AM I ALWAYS THE DECOY?

Would Maya or Kendrix be a much better decoy than I? They have the whole damsel in distress look going for them. Me? I'm just mechanic. I'm just a guy with a tool belt. No random monster would attack a mechanic unless they need their car or ship fixed. Okay, that is a bad point to take on that one because I was ordered to fix their ship when they held hostiles. But really, the only way the monsters would go after me if you put me in my Power Ranger suit.

So, here I am like before. I'm doing my Power Ranger thing and you guess it, they come and I ran. They ran after me and then they fall into our traps.

But you think on the amount of times that I have been a decoy. The monsters would figure out that I am always the decoy by now. But no, the monsters' IQ must somewhere in the range of a snail because they kept coming after me. I guess that good thing because if we had smart monsters. Our jobs would be more difficult than it is.

I must put my wonderful dilemma aside for now because the monsters are coming again.

…sigh…

I hate being the decoy.

Now if you excuse me, I have to run now.
