Summary: SPD: Bridge is forced to use his powers to mentally battle an alien impostor, placing SPD and everyone in the squad in danger.

Disclaimer: Trust me, if I owned the Power Rangers, I wouldn't need to write FanFics... that and it wouldn't be a kids show.

Chapter 1: A Midnight Duel

Heavy rain pounded the two morphed power rangers that stood in the valley just outside of Newtech City. Powerful winds pushed and pulled at them, but either dared to move.

"Who are you?" Bridge yelled, "are you SPD?" He could barely make out the opposing ranger in the dark, but he could clearly see the SPD badge that gleamed with every lightning strike.

"Command Center, this is Bridge, is anyone there?" Bridge quietly said into his communicator. "Commander Cruger? Kat? Jack?" There was only silence. Bridge cursed silently to himself, there would be no backup and no help to aid him.

Numerous strikes of lightning split the night sky, and thunder cracked wildly all around, breaking the silence. Neither green ranger flinched; each was too focused on the other to worry about the powerful storm circling overhead.

The mysterious ranger growled and tilted its head slightly to the side as rainwater trickled down its helmet. With lightning fast movement, the ranger raised its laser gun and fired at Bridge.

Bridge easily dodged the attack but had little time to recover before his opponent drew a saber and charged him, Bridge did the same and the two met in close battle, sabers clanking loudly. Bridge could now see every detail of the mysterious ranger; it was a perfect match of himself.

"What do you want? What are you doing here?" Bridge question furiously. But the mysterious ranger only growled and flashed its red eyes through the visor of its helmet.

The weather continued to worsen, Bridge found it harder and harder to find a foot hold in the slippery mud as he fought, but the other ranger didn't falter once. It also seemed to know what Bridge was going to do before he did it. It was a losing battle for Bridge, but he fought on as every one of the other ranger's attacks hit there marks and Bridge couldn't land one of his.

With each blow, Bridge's body began to fail and he felt his strength draining as he struggled to remain in the ranger form.

He was losing.

The mysterious ranger dealt the final blow and sent Bridge flying through the air, his body was covered with a bright green flash as he de-morphed, and landed with a thud.

Struggling slowly, Bridge pulled off a black leather glove, and waved his hand once through the air, leaving behind the other ranger's aura and a streak of green that only he could see. It was in that moment Bridge knew that this was not a normal bad guy.

"Whoa, something is not right here." Bridge gasped scooting backward in the mud trying to escape, but the ranger in front of him de-morphed and reached out, he looked just like Bridge. The fake Bridge clenched the real Bridge's head with his bare hands, making instant physic contact. Bridge's body jolted and he threw his head back in an attempt to rid himself of the unwanted contact. But he was quickly overwhelmed with physic energy and blacked out.

He lost.

A/N: Well, I hope it wasn't too confusing to read, this is my first PR FanFic, so let me know what you think, even if you don't like it. Chapter 2 will be on its way, that is as soon as I figure out what's going to actually happen... hmm...
