What you recognize I don't own and this is an expanded version of the original story but hopefully much better after four years. And for those of you familiar with the series it takes longer to beat Grumm then originally
The Rangers were simply having some down time immediately after a fight that lasted a while when suddenly the alarm rang and that meant that the team ran to the command center
"What's the problem Dr. Manx?"
"There's no emergency Rangers, it appears that Supreme Commander Birdie is coming for a visit. While he's promised to stay out of Commander Cruger's business it appears he wants to see if the other stations are at our level"
"When is he arriving Kat?"
"Five minutes sir"
"Understood, Rangers to the docking bay"
They all head to the docking bay and greet the Supreme Commander saluting him in the normal SPD fashion. Birdie looks at everyone and is impressed until he sees a person out of uniform, and seeing as how he at least knew everyone who joined SPD he also realized that this person wasn't known to him and goes over to the newcomer
"What's a civilian doing here at SPD?"
"I'm not a civilian sir"
"I believe you're lying, I know everyone who joined SPD or at least have their files, there's also the fact that you're in civilian clothing and while SPD officers do have regular clothing they have to have their uniforms at the ready at all times"
"Sir you do not know what you are talking about"
Cruger steps in at that point in time and escorts the Supreme Commander around the base while the other Rangers look to their comrade but before they could talk another cadet asked her a simple question which just the other day she would have been fine asking because she had actually been helping the cadet and now he needed some clarity. Unfortunately for him she wasn't in the greatest of moods
"Julia I was wondering if..."
"Leave me alone I don't care about whatever it is you're going to ask!"
The cadet quickly leaves realizing that she wasn't in a good mood at the moment. Fortunately all the cadets and staff members had been warned early on that if she was in a foul mood it probably wasn't their fault and he also remembered that she hadn't had a chance for a walk that morning so her temper was shorter than normal. He decided to spread word around base that until Julia had a good long walk she was to be left alone. Meanwhile the other Rangers looked to her in concern due to the unexpected outburst
"Julia are you okay?"
Julia sighs a breath of frustration and it's obvious in her voice whenever she talked too
"I'm going out"
"But..."
"Not now Syd, I need a walk, I never got my morning walk because of the battle and now...now he's making my temper flare and I think you remember the last time that happened"
"Alright, if Commander Cruger asks where you are we'll tell him you went for your walk"
"Thanks Jack"
Julia leaves the building just as Commander Cruger goes to the rec room
"Where's Julia? I was hoping to properly introduce her to the Supreme Commander and ask if we had permission to tell her story"
"She went for a walk sir, the Supreme Commander reprimanded her about her civilian clothing and unfortunately she also hasn't had a chance for her morning walk and you know what that means"
"She's more easily tired in the afternoon and has a shorter temper than normal"
"Exactly sir, she actually snapped at Mike who was probably only going to ask her about a few tips for hand to hand which she's been working on with him over the past few days"
"Most likely he'll pass word that she's not in a good mood right now and they'll understand why"
"Sir why do we need to tell Supreme Commander Birdie Julia's story?"
"Because while he's going to stay out of my business he needs to truly be able to compare our base to the others and as such he's going to be staying a few days and as such..."
"There's going to be more confrontations if he isn't told the reason behind Julia's clothing"
"Not to mention a few of her habits which happen without her knowledge or permission depending on what the habit is"
"Should we call her back sir?"
"No let her have her walk, it will not only help reengergize her but it will also keep her away from Commander Birdie for a few hours allowing both to have a clear head when we explain things to him"
All of a sudden though the alarms went off again and when the Rangers reported to the command center again they saw that Julia was fighting someone and Grumm had also sent down a monster as well. Cruger growled as he realized he would have to split up the team and considering what was going on in Julia's area that didn't make him very happy but he gave out orders that made the most sense
"Sky, Syd you back up Julia the rest of us will take care of Grumm's monster"
"Yes sir"
The team quickly splits up to handle the two problems at once. A few moments earlier before the base alarm sounded Julia was walking and talking to herself quietly enough to go unnoticed
"I can't believe him, the Supreme Commander I know in history would have asked questions before simply doing what he did. It's not my fault it's too dangerous in my time period for SPD officers to walk around in the open in their uniforms"
Julia looks up and suddenly sees someone she really didn't want or was expecting to see considering the full situation she was currently in
"Marcus what are you doing here?"
"Can't I simply come see an old friend?"
"All things considered no you can't, now tell me the truth"
"It's the truth Julia, besides don't you want to see me?"
"Marcus I am not in a good mood right now, as such you don't want to be playing games with me today now I say again. Why. Are. You. Here?"
"Fine, you already know why I am here, to destroy the city"
"Not on my watch, SPD emergency!"
With those words Julia puts her right hand on her left wrist covering a watch she always wore. She swipes her hand quickly across her wrist while using her morphing call and is soon in her Ranger uniform. Her uniform looked like Omega Rangers in the fact that it was pure white with blue accents, however instead of a roman numeral that was yellow the main part of the uniform had a picture of the sun across it. The helmet looked like the standard helmet except for a minor difference that wasn't instantly noticeable unless you were looking for it, normally where the SPD symbol was where it said police with a dog right under it instead the police part now said ranger and the dog part of the symbol had part of the sun showing behind it. Julia had explained what had happened when she originally came to SPD and they understood and didn't even think to ask her to change it. She then started fighting Marcus and it was intense, plus there were also crybots as well and as such she was a bit overwhelmed when suddenly Sky and Syd joined in the battle dealing with the crybots while Julia handled Marcus, who eventually decided to retreat, but not before Julia made one final attack
"I am so going to regret this later but I have no choice"
She puts out her right arm and calls out an attack semi-unique to her
"Twin power!"
All of a sudden Marcus was hit with a beam of light and he cried out in pain and then retreated. As soon as that happened Julia helped with the last of the crybots and then asked a very important question
"Sky, Syd where are the others?"
"Fighting a Grumm monster"
"Okay let's..."
Suddenly though Julia collapses to one knee
"Julia are you okay?"
"I'm fine just a bit exhausted, but we'll deal with that later right now the others need our help"
"But Commander Cruger..."
"I know my orders!" (deep breath and regular voice volume) "I know my orders but right now unless you have me join you the others could lose. Now then let's get to the battle"
"Fine, but the Commander isn't going to be too happy about this"
"I know and he can reprimand me later"
"When, after you wake up from a coma?"
"Most likely, now then are we going to go help the others or not?"
The three of them call for their zords and soon join in the battle. They then combine all the individual zords into the megazord with Julia's zord as a stand alone. After they call for judgment and contain the criminal they all go back to base and the command center where Birdie was waiting for them but Cruger had to speak up first without giving her identity away immediately which had been agreed upon ages ago when she had first arrived and could morph
