Yes, Dyrne-Faemne, the Puppet Master does seem like the pied piper. And thank you for reviewing. Okay time for chapter two:
Chapter 2:" Sewing the Seeds."
All of the remaining B-squad Rangers, Kat, and Cmdr. Cruger stood crowded around the esteemed Dr.Felix, awaiting his diagnosis. Sydney, who was tied to a chair in the observation room, giggled madly like a three year old child on a sugar high.
"Ms. Drew is perfectly fine physically." Dr. Felix shook his head sadly. "Mentally, however, she seems... well... legally insane."
Gasps echoed off the walls. Jack was the first to recover, turning his attention to Bridge. "Bridge, what exactly happened back there in the alleyway?"
"Well, Sydney jumped out of the Jeep," Bridge closed his eyes remembering every detail. "She jumped very quickly... I've never seen her jump that quick... I mean she can jump very high... not that it matters with speed and height, but, still she jumped out of--"
"BRIDGE!"
"Sorry," The toast-loving Green Ranger looked sheepishly at his friends. "Syd ran into an alleyway, I followed after her and saw her sitting on the ground smiling and watching some Man in a bouller hat-- no it was a Top hat... very old fashioned-- and some children were dancing at his feet. The man told me his name was the Puppet Master. And thought "what a werid name for a guy". And then he said," Bridge puffed out his chest and spoke in a deep, scratchy voice. "And your friend has become one of my puppets."
Jack didn't know wether to laugh or to frown; in the end, he settled on the latter. "So... any ideas on how she became insane?"
Bridge shook his head. "No..." A short silence followed, everyone grieving for Sydney.
"Rangers, we must be on high alert." Cruger sobered up instantly. "Kat, I need you to scan the city for any usual activity. Rangers, Dismissed!"
Four Rangers saluted, then exited the infirmary. All heading in different directions.

What a perfect ending to a perfect day! Lulu thought as she sat in the park, eating her ice cream and watching the sunset. She had gotten an 'A' on her essay, earning her high marks with the dean and the educational system. Lulu even got her a boyfriend today, a long time crush of hers: Todd Marksmith.
A strange tune filled her ears. A familar song, she had heard it before when she was little. Lulu smiled at the sweet lullaby and added the lyrics.
Be still, my child
You're home
Oh when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love
Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such oceans within
In the end
I will always love you
By the end of the strange song, the sun had set and the air around Lulu had begun to chill. She started to head back home when a whimper from the shadows caught her attention. Lulu walked curiously over to the source of the noise, a small, dirty child about five or six years of age.
"Hello, there, little one." Leelou spoke softly.
The child flinched at the sound of her voice and pressed back into the wall. Another whimper rose up.
"Aww," Lulu came closer to the child, a boy. "What are you doing out so late? It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you." The child came slowly out of the shadows.
Lulu gasped as she saw the red gash down the side of the boy's leg. "You poor thing!" She reached forward to clean the boy's wound, the child screamed and recoiled back into the shadows.
"Hey!" Lulu called. "Please, let me help you!" She stood and watched the child leave her. Lulu sighed then drew a deep breath. She gagged. The air was liquid ice! Hadn't it had been 60 degrees only 20 minuets ago?
Lulu's heart told her to run after the child, but her mind said 'go home'. The latter one the fight. She pulled her sweater tight around her body and headed towards her aunt's warm, comfy house. Lulu cried out as something struck her head. She fell hard against the pavement, knocking herself out cold.
Three teens, opalesent eyes glowing, dragged Leelou's body to a car.

Jack glanced up from his magazine, unable to concentrate, and surveyed the Rec. room. There was Sky doing, you guessed it, reading the SPD manual. Z had long since headed off to her afternoon nap. And Bridge... well... Bridge was doing his usual when we have a big case. He was there, right up against the wall, in is "thinking pose". The magazine flew instantly up over Jack's face to hide his grin. Along with Bridge's random thinking poses (yes poses,he has more than one), came the hilarious faces he made when thinking.
The SPD Yellow Ranger trudged in, fresh from the dreamland express.
"Good Evening, Sleeping beauty." Jack smiled. " Have a nice nap?"
Z grunted, grabbed a some Hanna-Berry Pop juice from the food synthesizer, and sat across from Bridge. "How long has he been like that?"
"A few hours," Jack replied. "I'm surpised he hasn't gotten a stroke yet, with all that blood going to his head. "
"A stroke is when the blood flow to a part of the brain decreases, Jack." Sky snorted, finally jumping into their conversation.
"Well, look at this Z," Jack laid down his magazine. "Sky is not only a SPD Rules and Regulations expert but a Medic who thinks he's a comedian."
"You forgot the part where I point out your ignorance, Jack." Sky shot back.
"GREAT HOLY BUTTER FIELDS!!" Bridge jumped up, startling the trio of Rangers. "I think I figured out why Sydney is insane!"
All eyes turned on SPD Green, all asking the same request. "Explain"
B-SQUAD, PLEASE REPORT TO THE COMMAND CENTER! IMMEDIATELY!
Jack, Sky, Bridge, and Z all made straight for the command center.
