M'kay so here's the second chapter. Hope you guys like it.


Screaming, crying "Doggie! Doggie help me!"

Commander Anubis Cruger jerked away. This was one of his worst nightmares yet. He let out a low growl. He jumped as somebody put a hand on his shoulder. He looked over to see his best friend, Dr. Kat Manx.

"Are you alright Doggie?" She asked in a worried tone. She was the only one allowed to call him 'Doggie'. Not even his rangers dared to call him that, but Kat was the one exception. She was his best friend. The only who he could truly trust. "Was it another nightmare?"

"Yes, but I'll be fine." Cruger said. Kat gave him a worried look, "I'm fine Kat I swear." He forced a smile. I don't want to worry her. It was just another stupid nightmare. He thought to himself.

"What are you doing in here anyway?" Cruger asked.

Kat smiled, "I could ask you the same thing. I mean have you even used your bed?"

"Answer the question." He snapped. He instantly regretted it. Shit. I didn't mean to do that. "Kat, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"No, it's okay. I understand. I couldn't sleep so I decided to see if I could find anything to work on." Kat quietly said, "Then when I came in here, I seen you sleeping in here. I was going to leave but you woke up."

"Oh." Was all he could say. He snapped at her when she was trying to help him. He felt bad. "Kat, I am really sorry."

"I know Doggie." She gave him a smile. "I think I should go." She started heading for the door.

"No Kat. You don't have to. You can stay in here." Doggie said. He had no clue why he said it. It just came out.

"No, I think that I better try to go back to sleep." Kat said. She walked out of the Command Center.

"Great." Doggie growled. Now Kat's mad at me. That's just perfect. He thought to himself.

The Rangers were in the command center.

"Wow, I've never seen a monster cry." Elizabeth 'Z' Delgado, the yellow ranger.

They were talking about the latest battle they had earlier. When they caught the monster, he cried.

"I know." Bridge Carson, the green ranger, said.

"What 'evil' monster cries?" Added Sky Tate, the blue ranger.

Commander Cruger walked in.

"Are you laughing at me?" Commander Cruger yelled.

"No sir." The pink ranger, Sydney 'Syd' Drew.

"Do I have to remind you that this is a S.P.D Command Center. There is to be no joking around," Cruger growled, "and if you don't like it, take your childish behaviors elsewhere!"

"Now wait! You can't talk to us like that!" Jack Landors yelled at Cruger.

"Standing up for your team Jack?" Cruger said, "Well, be their leader and lead them out of my sights!"

The Rangers left the Control Room. "And I don't want to hear a word from you." He said as he pointed towards Kat.

Damnit Doggie, why are you acting like this.

XxX

Kat followed B-Squad to the wreck room. "Sorry about that guys."

"Kat. What's going on? Why's Commander acting like this?" Z asked.

"Yea, He's been grumpy all week." Syd added.

"A long time ago, the Troobian forces invaded the planet of Siris. Commander Cruger lost everything." Kat explained.

"That's horrible." Sky said.

The Rangers returned to the Command Center some time after. They sat in silence.

"Commander." Kat said.

"What is it?" Doggie asked.

"It's a large energy spike in this section on the city." Kat said as she pointed to the area.

"Rangers, go!" Cruger ordered.

They hurried out the doors and left for their mission.

"What's wrong with them?" Cruger asked Kat.

"You." Kat said.

Cruger growled.

"Don't growl at me Doggie. You asked my opinion." Kat said.

XxX

"Piggy!" Jack yelled.

"What do you want?" Piggy whined, "You're driving away all my customers."

"We found and energy spike, we wanted to know if you knew anything about it." Sky said.

"Nope." Was Piggy's reply.

"Are you looking for me?" Asked Benaag. He came out of the shadows.

"Freeze!" yelled the Rangers.

"Relax. I don't wanna fight you. Just give this to your commander." Benaag said as he tossed a small ball towards Jack. Jack caught it and then Benaag disappeared.

XxX

The Rangers returned to the Command Center. Jack gave the ball to Jack. A hologram appeared.

"Benaag!" Doggie yelled.

"Ah my dear Doggie Cruger. I've been waiting for this moment. I want to battle." Benaag said.

"You've traveled in vain. I don't battle anymore." Cruger said.

"I'll make sure you do." Benaag said, before the hologram disappeared.

All the Rangers began to ask questions all at once. Kat stepped forward.

"They deserve to know." Kat said.

"I've met Benaag before," Doggie began, "he attacked my home of Siris. We assembled group of galactic protectors, Space Patrol Delta, the first S.P.D. We were overrun by Troobian forces. General Benaag led those troops against us. They destroyed my planet. I was knocked unconscious during the battle. When I awoke, there was nothing left." Cruger looked at his Rangers. "So now you know my tale."

The room suddenly started to shake.

"What's going on? Earthquake?" Cruger asked.

"No. Energy tremors." Kat said.

"Rangers go!"

The Rangers ran out of the Command Center.

"This isn't right." Kat said.

"What's your point Dr. Manx?" Cruger growled.

"You sent a group of heroic but inexperienced kids to fight your battle. You should be with them." Kat said.

"Don't start Kat." Doggie growled.

"Why? Because you know it's the truth?" Kat asked. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a box, "here I made you something."

She handed Cruger the box. When he opened it, he let out yet another menacing growl.

"You are bordering on insubordination." He yelled.

"You stubborn old dog, not facing your fears will only bring them into existence." Kat yelled.

"Get out!" Cruger screamed.

Kat stomped out of the Command Room.

Just then, Jack radioed in. "Commander," Jack said.

"Yes Jack?"

"There's nothing here." Jack said confused.

"Okay, return to base." Cruger said.

"Yes Sir." Jack said.
