"B-Squad, report to Command" boomed Kat's voice over the intercom. Sky Tate immediately dropped the S.P.D. handbook he was reading and made his way to the command center. He entered the room swiftly and adjusted his blue uniform, taking his place next to the red ranger, Jack Landors.
"Cadets," Commander Cruger began, "There is an energy reading off the charts in sector twelve and I need you to check it out. The energy surge has caused a temporary surveillance blackout, so unfortunately we have no idea what you're dealing with here."
"We're on it sir" Jack replied before saluting. The others followed saluted as well, then filed out of command.
"What do you think it could be?" asked Sydney, the pink ranger.
"No clue. But a surveillance blackout? That can't be good," responded the yellow ranger, Z.
"Whatever it is guys, we'll handle just like everything else Grumm has thrown at us" Sky said matter-of-factly.
"We can do it…as long as it isn't anything like that huge mutant we took down last week…that guy was huge and it was really hard…for a second there I didn't even think we were going to survive let alone win…and then there was T-Top, do you guys remember him?" the green ranger rambled.
"Bridge" Jack scolded.
"Right, sorry" he apologized a bit bashfully.
"Ready?"
"Ready! SPD Emergency!"
Ignoring the dull ache that refused to leave his head, Sky opened his eyes and tried to take in his surroundings. He was lying on the street in sector twelve but he couldn't find his teammates or the alien they had been fighting. 'What happened?' he asked himself. As he slowly sat up he felt the weight of his morpher on his hip. Instinctively he reached for it and began to try and contact his teammates, Kat, Cruger…anyone. Finally Kat responded. "Cadet Tate…what is your location?"
"Sector twelve…why isn't anyone else answering? Are they okay? What happened to that alien?" he asked, his mind beginning to whirl.
"Sky what are you talking about? You should be working on your case files…Commander is expecting them later this evening." Kat ended the transmission, leaving Sky with perhaps more questions than before. Disoriented and confused, Sky still thought returning to base was the best course of action. If everyone was fine then why did they leave him lying in the street? 'Just get back to the academy and find everyone to figure out what happened. Kat didn't even sound concerned so it couldn't be that bad' he reasoned to himself.
