What started out as a trip to San Diego to rekindle with family turned into a mission that the Danger Rangers have never encountered before...Child Trafficking.

2. Chapter 2: Semper Fortis

Chapter 2

DRHQ

Keystone, South Dakota

1:18 PM

Back at the DRHQ, Burt had arranged a meeting with the other Rangers, excluding Sully and Kitty to tell them about Fallbot's newfound intelligence, but kept that part a surprise.

The Rangers met in the "Living Room" for the meeting as Burt and Fallbot arrived there as well.

"So, what did you want to talk to us about, Burt?" Gabriela asked.

"What I wanted to talk to you about was I've started to notice that Fallbot here has not tripped, said "Who put that there?", and his voice seemed to change to sound normal, more normal than his old voice. I checked his systems and found nothing wrong, I think he's getting smart." Burt explained.

"Smart? How can dat be?" Squeaky asked.

"I honestly don't know how this happened, but I have a theory that it happened when he lost his memory and when he got it back, it must have changed something within his systems. I don't have a scientific answer as of yet, but I'll keep looking." Burt answered.

"Burt, are you really sure he's different? I believe you, but we kind of need proof." Burble responded.

"Yeah. In my opinion, de odds of him havin' intelligence is like de odds of me dyin' from a cheese overdose." Squeaky added.

"A cheese overdose? Squeaky, that doesn't have the slightest chance to happen… unless of course, you eat cheese continuously without stopping, but then you'd get your stomach pumped for that." Fallbot said to the mouse Danger Ranger, giving the other Rangers except Burt a surprising revelation and quite a shock, as shown in their expressions.

"Okay, Who are yuh and what have yuh done wit' de real Fallbot?" Squeaky responded, still a bit disbelieving of the whole thing.

"I am the real Fallbot, Ranger Squeaky Mousovani." Fallbot responded back, which gave the the shocked Danger Rangers even more of one.

"How de yuh know my surname?!" Squeaky exclaimingly asked.

"SAVO and I are the only two with the exemption of POTUS and the Secret Service who have the personnel files on the entire team, which includes all of the Rangers' surnames. All are under protection by the most powerful firewall in the world next to the White House and the Pentagon combined." Fallbot answered and reassured Squeaky.

"Okay, I believe yuh." Squeaky said, now believing that Fallbot has intelligence now.

The other Rangers believed it too as the shock wore off.

"Is that all you wanted to tell us, Burt?" Gabriela asked.

"No, I wanted everyone's opinion on his new intelligence because all I need to do is do a reboot of his systems and he'll back to his normal, clumsy old self. But Fallbot doesn't want to go back to his old self, so he asked me to see what your opinions would be and then we'll decide on the reboot." Burt answered.

"Well, youse have my vote. I like de new Fallbot." Squeaky said, giving his vote.

"Hold on, Squeaky. We should at least see how he acts before we truly give our opinion, we should also at least wait for Sully and Kitty so we can all vote on this decision." Burble explained.

"Plus, Fallbot can't just become a Danger Ranger on a whim. There are a lot of steps he has to go through." GB added.

"Well, he's already part of the team." Burt said.

"I know, But Sully is the leader and has the final say, but he's all the way in San Diego right now." GB responded.

"DANGER ALERT! DANGER ALERT!" SAVO exclaimed as the words DANGER ALERT suddenly appeared on screen.

"What's going on, SAVO?" GB asked the AI.

"We have an emergency in San Diego, Ranger Sully has asked me to contact you." SAVO answered as the screen switched to show Sully.

"What's up, Sully?" Squeaky asked.

"Guys, Me and Kitty were out with the Coast Guard and we ended up chasing after a speeding yacht." Sully explained.

"Why were yuh wit' the Coast Guard?" Squeaky asked.

"It's a bit of a long story, but while me and Kitty were with the Coast Guard in stopping the boat and it's drunk driver, we heard some noise and...we found six kids, all malnourished and the two girls of the six kids seemed to have given birth with the third girl being currently pregnant, even one of the boys I was talking to had slash marks on his back that were from a whip... I think we found...a child trafficking ring." Sully explained in full with the Rangers back at HQ gasping in horror at the last sentence.

Trafficking of people was serious, it was essentially modern day slavery as those who end up victims to this horrid crime were sold off for sex, labor and other reasons.

But when it's children who are the victims in this...it's sometimes very hard to bear.

"Have the perpetrators been apprehended?" GB asked.

"Yes, the driver and a passenger who was in the same vicinity as the kids have been apprehend." Sully answered.

"Well, should we let the police handle this?" Burble asked.

"Yeah, but we should at least help out. The more hands on deck the investigators have, the faster and better this investigation completes." Sully responded.

"He is right. I may not be a profiler on criminals, but traffickers are usually part of some kind of syndicate or gang, so there could be someone who orchestrating the whole thing." Burt added.

"And there could be more out there. There's always a possibility this could be bigger than it already is." Fallbot responded, catching Sully's attention and giving the leader of the Danger Rangers quite a shock.

"Burt, what's up with Fallbot?" Sully asked as the shock started to wear off.

"I can explain, Ranger Sully. When I was struck by lightning and lost my memory, something happened within my systems that made me the way I am. I don't know how it happened, but it happened slowly rather than the second after I got my memories back. Me and Ranger Burt have been asking for the other Rangers' opinions on whether or not I go through a reboot of my systems and turn me back into my old self. " Fallbot explained, which gave Sully even more of a shock.

"I'll worry about that later, can you guys just come down here?" Sully responded.

"Okay, Sully. We'll head down there and help." GB answered.

"Thanks, Rangers. Also, you should bring your personal vehicles with you on the hovercraft." Sully responded.

"Why? Is dere a reason we need to?" Squeaky asked.

"Yes, Naval Base San Diego doesn't have a helipad or runway for the hovercraft." Sully answered.

"Why don't we just take the Ranger Van?" Fallbot suggested.

"The Van? We haven't used that in a while, but I guess it would be more effective than your personal vehicles since it can carry all of you...okay, bring it with you." Sully said.

Sully, do you mind if we bring Fallbot along? He could be useful to the efforts." Burt asked.

Sully thought about it for a minute or two before coming with a conclusion.

"Bring him along, but he must stay in the Hovercraft...I'm not saying I don't trust him, it's just I need to see his new "Improvements" for myself. Meet me and Kitty at Coast Guard Base Sector San Diego. Sully out." Sully said, accepting Burt's request before the transmission ends.

"Alright, Danger Rangers. Let's go to San Diego." GB commanded as the Rangers and Fallbot

headed to the launch bay and onto the Hovercraft before it lifted off from Mt Rushmore to San Diego.

Coast Guard Sector San Diego

2746 N Harbor Dr
1327 Papa

The SPC-LE arrived at the Coast Guard base port with the yacht in tow as San Diego PD, paramedics and Nasir were waiting for them.

The five got off the craft as Sean and David led Jack and Donny towards the officers who were a doberman pinscher and a german shepherd, handed them off while Sully and Kitty led the kids towards the paramedics and Sully got on one knee to speak to Ricky before handing him off. The two managed to bond on the boat ride back, discovering Ricky's interest in the U.S Navy as they saw the Navy ships in the distance.

"Okay, Ricky. I'm going to hand you off to the paramedics, they're going to take you to the hospital. Be brave for me, okay." Sully told Ricky.

"Okay, Ranger Sully." Ricky responded as he went with the paramedics before Sully got up and Kitty came up to him.

"You know, you are really good with kids." Kitty commented.

"Thanks, but you are as well." Sully replied.

"You're welcome and thank you." Kitty thanked as the sound of a jet engine was heard, a very specific jet engine.

Everyone looked up to see the Hovercraft appear from behind the hangar and landed at the other end of the docks.

"You brought the rest of your team with you or something?" Sean asked.

"I called them, I think they could be really useful to the investigation." Sully answered as the door opened and the ramp appeared.

"Okay, me and Ranger Kitty have got to talk to them about something real quick, Commander. So, wait here for a bit." Sully added as he and Kitty went over to the Hovercraft and walked up the ramp, heading inside.

"Hey, guys. Thanks for coming down." Sully said to the Rangers.

"No problemo, Sully. Yuh asked fawh our help and yuh're gettin' it." Squeaky responded.

"So...where's Fallbot?" Sully asked.

"I'm right here, Ranger Sully." Fallbot said as the sound of a door opening were heard and Fallbot came into view of the Rangers. The robot walked up to Sully and suddenly stood like he was standing at attention.

"Danger Ranger Fallbot reporting for duty, sir!" Fallbot exclaimed before giving a salute to Sully.

"At ease, Fallbot. You don't have to salute me." Sully replied, chuckling in his response before Fallbot put his hand down and stopped standing at attention.

"Sorry, Sully." Fallbot apologized.

"No need for apologies, Fallbot." Sully reassured the robot.

"So, Fallbot...Burt says you have some new "improvements". Is that true?" Kitty asked.

"By improvements, you mean I now have a higher intelligence than my old self and I'm not clumsy?" Fallbot responded.

"Yes." Kitty answered.

"It is true, I seemed to have gained intelligence somehow after my memories were restored. I don't know how, but it would be possible that my systems were internally rewired, for a lack thereof." Fallbot replied.

*BANG!*

"What was that!?" Kitty exclaimed as multiple gunshots were heard and Jack suddenly ran up the ramp and got inside the hovercraft with a firearm in his hand, seemingly have escaped his zipties.

"Alright, Danger Rangers. You are going to get me out of here or I shoot you from where you stand!" Jack demanded as he aimed the gun at the Rangers.

"We don't take orders from yuh, ya mook!" Squeaky exclaimed which caught the attention of Jack.

"Such a big mouth for a small rat." Jack said.

"Hey! I'm a mouse! Okay?" Squeaky exclaimingly responded, taking offense at the rat remark.

"Still, let's fix that mouth of yours, shall we?" Jack replied as he aimed the gun at Squeaky and was ready to pull the trigger before Fallbot suddenly grabbed Jack's arm and hoisted it away from Squeaky with a foreboding look on the robot's face.

"Let me go, you stupid trash heap!" Jack exclaimed as he struggled to escape Fallbot's grip.

"Gladly." Fallbot replied as he suddenly let go of Jack, making the lion stumble back before suddenly firing on Fallbot.

"Fallbot!" The Rangers screamed as Jack fired about ten rounds at Fallbot, all of the bullets bouncing off the robot's chest upon impact and dropping to the ground in front of him.

Jack started to give off a terrified expression as Fallbot started to approach the lion.

"Y'know, you should never ever play with a gun." Fallbot said in a semi-menacing tone before Jack turned around and started to run down the ramp, only to stop as Sean, David and the Doberman Pischner officer started going up the ramp with their guns drawn at Jack.

Jack turned around and started running back, but only ended up running into Fallbot before suddenly shooting Fallbot in the head twice.

The bullets barely made a knick in the robot's head as Fallbot suddenly slowly grabbed the gun from Jack's hand and the doberman pischner officer put Jack in handcuffs and lead him off the hovercraft before Fallbot put the gun in a evidence bag David was holding as David sealed it up, heading down the ramp and handing it to a golden retriever officer that seemed to have just showed up and walked with him.

"Sully, yuh wanna introduce us to him?" Squeaky asked.

"Oh, right. Rangers, This is Coast Guard Commander Sean Sealford...he's my older brother." Sully answered, the other Rangers giving an expression of shock at revelation of Sean having Sully's surname and the fact he was their leader's older brother.

"Older brother? You never mentioned an older brother." Burble said.

"I didn't think he'd be coming to the house. Sean, meet Danger Ranger Burble, Danger Ranger Burt, Danger Ranger Squeaky, Danger Ranger Gabriela and...Danger Ranger Fallbot." Sully replied before introducing the Rangers one by one to Sean, including Fallbot in the line which made the robot smile.

"It's nice to meet you all, but why is the robot named Fallbot of all things?" Sean thanked and asked.

"Do yuh really wanna know, Becawze doin' so would have a long explanashun." Squeaky answered.

Sean was about to continue to ask about Fallbot, but stops himself and decides not to pursue it.

"Commander." David said, catching Sean's attention as the German Shepherd walked up the ramp to Sean and they both saluted each other.

"What is it, Lieutenant Commander?" Sean asked David before the German Shepherd looked over at the Danger Rangers.

"Oh, sorry. Danger Rangers, meet Lieutenant Com-." Sean started to say before being interrupted by Fallbot.

"Lieutenant Commander David Avraham, United States Coast Guard, born in Tel-Aviv, moved to America at-" Fallbot interrupted David before the Lieutenant Commander stopped him.

"Woah, woah, woah, woah. How do you know my information?!" David shockingly asked Fallbot.

"I accessed the Coast Guard database. Don't worry, I did not access your personal information, just your name, rank and country of origin." Fallbot answered.

"Still, I don't like my private info being looked into." David retorted.

"I understand and for that I apologize." Fallbot said, apologizing for the "invasion" of privacy.

David waited for a minute or two before giving his response.

"It's okay, just don't do it again. Let's start over, okay" David replied.

"I'll agree to that." Fallbot responded.

"Shalom, I'm Lieutenant Commander David Avraham of the United States Coast Guard." David said, reintroducing himself.

"I'm Fallbot of the Danger Rangers and with me is Ranger Burble, Ranger Squeaky, Ranger Burt and Ranger Gabriela." Fallbot responded, reintroducing himself as well as the other Rangers exempting Sully and Kitty.

"Nice to meet you all." David replied.

"So, Avraham. What were you going to tell me?" Sean asked.

"Oh, right. I was going to tell you on the status of the officer who was shot." David answered.

"Yeah, how is he?" Kitty asked.

"GSW to the leg, through and through, he's on the way to hospital right now and looks like he'll make it." David replied as few of the Rangers and David sighed in relief.

"That's good." Sully said.

"So, where do we go from here?" Burble asked.

"Well, San Diego PD is going to take them into custody and I guess CGIS will get involved." Sean answered.

"The Coast Guard Investigative Service, I thought they only investigated when a member of the Coast Guard is either killed, attacked or commited a crime." Sully said, knowing of what CGIS is.

"No, that's NCIS. CGIS is different, they also investigate the serious criminals we take in, and seeing what has happened, I think they would be getting involved. But I don't know if there's a chance that other agencies might jump on the bandwagon. Probably FBI, maybe the Marshals, but there's no knowing of what could happen." Sean replied.

"Commander, we should get back." David said.

"You go on ahead, take the Rangers and introduce them to Ahmad. I got to talk with Ranger Sully and Kitty for a bit." Sean responded.

"Permission to speak freely, sir?" David asked.

"Granted." Sean responded as David asked his question.

"Sir, if I may ask, why just Ranger Sully and Kitty being the ones you want to talk to?"

"It's personal and I don't feel good discussing it with you at this time. I'll tell you when I feel better discussing it, Avraham. Now get the Rangers up to speed." Sean answered, lying again due to the same reasons.

"Yes, sir. Come on, Rangers." David replied, saluting Sean and having the Rangers, except for Sully and Kitty follow him down the ramp before Sean turned to Sully and Kitty to begin their conversation.

"So, I'm guessing you'll be meeting Dad after you leave here, right?" Sean asked.

"Yeah, then I'm going to go to the children's hospital to check on Ricky." Sully replied.

"The raccoon kid? Why?" Sean responded, asking why he was going to see the kid.

"I don't know, I guess I kind of see myself within him, plus we kind of bonded on the trip back, he really loved staring at the Navy ships in the distance." Sully answered.

"He might be a Navy fan like you when you were his age. "Look at those big boats, I wanna be like Daddy!"." Sean replied, mocking Sully in a child-like voice which made Kitty snicker a bit.

"Very funny." Sully commented as the three started to head out the Hovercraft.

After meeting Nasir and Sean telling them about the two's countries of origin and how their friends, Nasir and David telling the Rangers the same thing they said to Sully and Kitty, the rest of the Rangers got to Naval Base San Diego and got the necessary passes before meeting Admiral Sebastian Sealford.

The rest's surnames weren't revealed to Sebastian, but they made conversation with each other, even him showing the other Rangers his Navy Medal of Valor.

While Sully can stay in his old room, which the bed still fits him. Kitty can stay in the guest room which was converted from Jennifer Sealford's bedroom.

The rest of the Rangers will be staying at a hotel nearby since there's not much room in the house for all of them. Compared to the Rangers' budget, paying for the weeks time for all of them in separate rooms was basically like a very small loan.

As everyone got settled in, Sully went to the children's hospital to check on Ricky and see how his condition is doing.

San Diego Children's Hospital

1:41 PM

"...and everyone's really nice to me." Ricky said, telling Sully about his time in the hospital.

Ricky's room had light blue walls, a tan paneled floor and a window on the rear wall with the white blinds opened to reveal light.

Ricky was in a normal white hospital bed with white sheets, he was wearing light blue hospital clothing with a couple tubes hooked up to him connecting to an IV and an EKG machine.

Sully sat in a red chair on Ricky's bedside, listening to the raccoon.

"That's great. Ricky, if you don't mind me asking, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Sully responded and asked.

"I wanna be in the Navy! Just like Daddy!" Ricky exclaimed happily.

"Daddy?" Sully asked.

"Yeah, Daddy was in the Navy!" Ricky exclaimed in the same happy tone as Sully started to see himself as Ricky when he was his age, giving him a slight smile .

"Say, Ricky. Where is Daddy?" Sully asked before Ricky gave a forlorn expression after Sully asked the question.

"He's in the ground." Ricky answered, Sully knew what Ricky meant, his father was dead.

"He's in the ground?" Sully asked, trying to clarify what Ricky said.

"Yeah. Two men wearing the same thing Daddy wore sometimes came to our house and Mommy started to cry, she said Daddy's never coming back. We saw him being put in the ground." Ricky replied, telling Sully about the news his mother received of his father's death. He could easily relate since he lost his mother in the 9/11 attacks.

"What about Mommy, do you know where she is?" Sully asked.

"She's in the ground, too." Ricky answered, confirming that he was an orphan.

"Ranger Sully, may I speak with you?" A voice said, making Sully turn around to see a Jack Russell Terrier doctor in the doorway, his name was Dr. Madison as it read on his white jacket as he held a clipboard in his hands/paws.

"Sure. I'll be right back, Ricky." Sully responded before getting up and heading out of Ricky's room into the hallway as the Dr. Madison closed the door.

"What is it, Dr. Madison?" Sully asked as the doctor gave a forlorn expression.

"Ranger Sully, I have some bad news. It's about Ricky...he's dying." Dr. Madison replied.

"Dying? How?" Sully asked, unsure of what he was hearing before Dr. Madison handed him the clipboard and Sully looked over it, shock and disbelief overcoming his emotions and expressions.

"Really? Are you sure?" Sully asked Dr. Madison.

"Positive. And giving his condition, There's a chance he won't be able to respond to treatment." Dr. Madison clarified.

"Did anyone take him in to be checked?" Sully asked.

"No, there is no records of any past hospital visits or checkups for that matter." Dr. Madison replied, shocking Sully.

"Are you sure it's just this or are there any other diseases since if he never had checkups, he probably hasn't been vaccinated." Sully asked.

"No. No other diseases." Dr. Madison answered as Sully sighed.

"Are you going to tell him?" Sully asked.

"I think it be best if you tell him. He seems to trust you more." Dr. Madison replied.

"Fine, I'll tell him. Thank you, Doctor." Sully responded before heading back into the room.

"Hi, Ranger Sully. Why are you sad?" Ricky said and asked, noticing the forlorn expression on Sully's face.

"Ricky, there's no easy way to say this, but...you're sick." Sully replied, breaking the news to Ricky.

"I'm...sick? I don't feel sick." Ricky said, not sure what Sully was talking about.

"It's not you having a cold kind of sick, it's a disease called Leukemia, it's a type of disease called Cancer and it can put people to sleep forever...you have it and there's a chance you could go to sleep forever." Sully responded, trying to soften it for Ricky before Ricky's eyes started filling up with tears and the raccoon started to choke up.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, it's okay. Don't cry. D-Don't cry." Sully said as Ricky hugged him as the child started to cry a bit, his head on Sully's shoulder with Sully starting to choke up as well.

"H-Hey, Ricky. Daddy would want you to be brave, right?" Sully said to Ricky as the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

"Y-Yeah?" Ricky responded, starting to calm down a bit.

"Well, he would want you to be brave as do I, I want you to be brave for me, okay?" Sully replied as he wiped the tears from his eyes as did Ricky.

"I-I don't know if I can." Ricky said.

"Ricky, do you know the Navy motto?" Sully asked.

"No?" Ricky answered.

"It's Semper Fortis. It means Always Courageous. It means that the Navy is brave. Your father wants you to be brave, I want you to be brave, even Dr. Madison and everyone here wants you to be brave...can you say the words for me, Semper Fortis - Always Courageous." Sully said, giving Ricky a small pep talk in order to get him to be brave.

"Semper...Fortis...Always Courageous! Semper Fortis - Always Courageous!" Rick replied, starting slowly before getting it, becoming happy once more.

"Good job, now remember those words, it'll help you. I've got to go now, but I'll be back to visit, okay?" Sully responded, clarifying that he will return.

"Okay." Ricky replied as Sully left Ricky's room, vowing to take down the mastermind who hurt him and those kids and bring him/her to justice.

San Diego Police Department Station

2:10 PM

The Rangers arrived at the SDPD station and went inside before running into David and Sean.

"Commander, Lieutenant Commander, what are you guys doing here?" Kitty asked.

"We were giving our witness statements." Sean answered as a Tiger officer who was in the room with Sean and David opened the door and looked out at the Danger Rangers.

"Rangers Sully and Kitty. We need your statements." The Tiger officer said, catching the attention of the Rangers before Sully and Kitty went inside and seeing with the Tiger officer was a Husky wearing a black leather jacket over a white shirt and jean pants.

"Ranger Sully, Ranger Kitty, I'm Special Agent Abigail Huskton, CGIS." The husky said, revealing her name and what she does.

"Nice to meet you." Sully replied as he and Kitty shook hands with Special Agent Nolan.

"Likewise, I wish we were meeting under different circumstances." Abigail responded.

"Me, too." Kitty said as the three sat down and Abigail clicked her pen.

"Okay, let's start at the beginning."

Later at 2:40 PM...

After about a half hour passes, Sully and Kitty walked out of the room, the three meeting up with the Rangers, Sean and David.

"Hey, Ranger Sully. How's Ricky?" Sean asked, Sully knew he had to break the news to them as the thought caused him to unknowingly start shedding tears.

"Sully, are you crying?" Kitty asked, which made Sully notice the tears coming from his eyes, wiping them away quickly from his face and eyes.

"N-No. I wasn't crying." Sully quickly said, not wanting to break down in the process of telling everyone the bad news about Ricky.

"Den, what's wit' de waterwawhks?" Squeaky asked.

Sully sighed as he sat down on one of the nearby benches before breaking the news to the Rangers.

"I have some bad news...Ricky's dying." Sully started to say, which made a few of the Rangers gasp in shock.

"Dying? How can that be? He didn't look deathly ill when we rescued him, and the malnourishment would have been gone by now. How is he dying?" Kitty asked in a state of shock.

"He...H-He…*Sniff*...He h-has...Leukimea, s-stage 4." Sully answered, trying his best not to break down and cry in the process as tears escaped his eyes.

The Rangers were left speechless, the Rangers' eyes filled with tears with Kitty, Burble, and Gabriela actually shedding tears.

"How long does he have?" David asked.

"I don't know." Sully answered before Kitty went up and hugged him, Sully embraced it as the tears freely flowed down his face.

The two broke the hug as they heard the door open and Special Agent Huskton came out and approached everyone.

"Danger Rangers, I'm CGIS Special Agent Abigail Huskton, I take it something bad happened." Abigail said, seeing the tears in the Ranger's eyes.

"It has to do with a child we rescued, he has stage 4 Leukemia." Sean replied, answering for Sully as the sea lion wiped the tears from his eyes and got up from the bench.

"Well, my condolences to the parents and I hope he recovers." Abigail said, unknowing that Ricky was an orphan and that he possibly didn't have long.

"He's an orphan." Sully replied in a slight angry tone.

"Sorry, I didn't know. Anyway, that concludes the interviews, we'll take it from here. Have a nice day." Abigail responded before David and Sean left the precinct to return to duty as she started to turn around, but Sully stopped her.

"Wait. We want to help with this investigation." Sully said to Abigail, stopping her.

"I...appreciate the offer, Ranger Sully. But you should leave this to the professionals." Abigail responded to Sully's offer.

"And what's dat supposed to mean?" Squeaky asked in a offended tone.

"Look, CGIS can handle this, we don't need your assistance." Abigail answered.

"Special Agent Huskton, please reconsider. We're your best chance at catching these guys faster." Sully said, catching Abigail's attention.

"How so?" Abigail asked.

"SAVO can use his compuscan to find who Jack or Donny's been calling and you guys can see if they have a criminal record or is wanted for something." Sully explained.

"We already checked on both of them to see if there were any records, Mr. Lionson has an outstanding warrant already and Mr. Foxi is currently sleeping off his buzz," Abigail responded, revealing Jack's surname to be Lionson and Donny's surname to be Foxi.

"Is Jack talking?" Kitty asked.

"Unfortunately, he's not talking to us, he already asked for his lawyer before we could even start and he shut up just as quickly." Abigail answered.

"Well, then we'll have to find out who they have been calling by checking the call logs." Sully said.

"Don't you need a warrant to do that?" Abigail asked Sully again before SAVO answered for Sully.

"No, Special Agent Huskton. Warrants aren't needed to check phone logs." SAVO replied.

"Well, both had prepaid cells, so I don't think you're going to be of much help." Abigail added.

"Special Agent Huskton, this is our best chance to find out who the "Headmaster" is that Ricky told me about." Sully responded.

"Did he tell you what he came from?" Abigail asked.

"He said he lives in a foster home with his headmaster named Harvey and ten other brothers and sisters, all are about different ages." Sully answered.

"Well, it's probably unlisted given the nature of the crime. Okay, I'll have an officer get the burner phones from evidence." Abigail responded as she left to get an officer for the prepaid phones.

A few minutes later, Abigail came back with the phones and handed one to Sully.

"SAVO, scan the call logs and find any Harvey's in the San Diego area." Sully said to SAVO as what seemed to be two antennas connecting to the phone with SAVO's "face" appearing on the phone's screen.

"Ranger Sully, I have found who you are looking for. It is a blocked number, but I managed to track down who the caller ID belongs to." SAVO replied.

"Who is it, SAVO?" Kitty asked before suddenly a voice answered before SAVO.

"His name is Harvey Jagulon."

The Rangers turned around to see that the voice was a golden retriever wearing a dark blue short sleeved shirt under a black suit jacket, black pants and black shoes.

On his belt was the grey circular star badge of the United States Marshal Service, indicating he was a marshal.

"Nick?" Burble said, recognizing the golden retriever as he approached the rangers.

"Hey, Burble. Long time no see. Look at you, you're a Danger Ranger. Congrats." the golden retriever now known as Nick said to Burble as he noticed Burble's uniform, congratulating the polar bear.

"Thanks, Nick. And you're a U.S Marshal?" Burble replied, taking notice of Nick's badge.

"Deputy Marshal, actually. But yes." Nick answered as Burble turned to see the Rangers and Abigail looking confused.

"Oh, sorry. Rangers, Agent Huskton, this is Nicholas Goldioso. He's a childhood friend from the neighborhood I grew up in. Nick, I like for you to meet the leader of the Danger Rangers, Ranger Sully, Ranger Kitty, Ranger Burt, Ranger Squeaky, Ranger Gabriela. Ranger Fallbot, and CGIS Special Agent Abigail Huskton." Burble said to the Rangers and Abigail, introducing them to Nicholas and introducing the golden retriever

"Nice to meet you all." Nicholas said to the Rangers and Abigail.

"Likewise, so you said something about someone named Harvey Jagulon?" Abigail replied, asking Nicholas about the name he just mentioned.

"Right, give me a few minutes to get it setup." Nick responded.

Later at 3:12 PM…

The Rangers and Abigail sat at a metal table in front of screens with pictures of Harvey Jagulon, a jaguar were on screen as Nicholas was talking to them.

"...We've been looking at Mr. Jagulon for awhile now for possibly running a child sex trafficking ring from his foster home. We haven't been able to confirm it due to lack of evidence or we can't get one of our own inside undercover." Nicholas explained.

"What makes you think he's the one running it?" Kitty asked.

"Multiple kids have been missing everytime CPS has come by. Harvey keeps telling her they were adopted, but couldn't show the paperwork because his computer was on the fritz. But the kids would always end up back there and usually the response from Mr. Jagulon was "The parents must've not wanted a child after all", we're thinking Mr. Jagulon's computer isn't acting up. And before you ask, we couldn't get a warrant since the D.A Rabalio wants proof of the ring." Nicholas answered.

"So, is there anything you want us to do?" Burt asked.

"You know I was thinking...since you guys can do a safety check that doesn't require a warrant, I was thinking of two of you going to the home with one of you distracting Mr. Jagulon and the other accessing his computer to see if you can find any evidence of who he's been supplying to or the ringleaders." Nicholas replied, suggesting the idea of the Rangers going in and getting evidence that way.

"I don't know, we don't use the safety inspections like that or at least not like that anyway. It seems risky to try it and doesn't this seem like a welfare check?" GB said.

"Don't worry, we'll have a warrant drawn up and ready. What I want one of you to do is access his computer, see what comes up." Nicholas responded.

"Like what, exactly?" Squeaky asked Nicholas.

"Anything that could lead us or is proof of him running the ring out of the foster home and who has he been selling the kids to." Nicholas answered.

The Rangers then turned to Sully, who was essentially the final decision maker in things like this.

"Deputy Marshal Goldioso, are you sure this plan of yours will work? I don't want to have any of my team members headed to the morgue. " Sully asked Nicholas.

"Ranger Sully, I know you all don't get involved in law enforcement or investigations that much, but this is the best lead in stopping him from causing anymore harm and you are our best bet right now." Nicholas replied as Sully took a deep breath before coming to a conclusion.

"Let's do it. But I'm picking who goes in there and you better have them be protected." Sully answered.

"Whatever you say, you outrank me. So, who are you sending in?" Nicholas added, asking who will be going in.

"Anyone want to volunteer?" Sully asked, turning to the Rangers for volunteering.

None of the Rangers raised their hands, looking a bit hesitant on the offer as Sully sighed and turned around for a second.

"I understand, Rangers. I'm a bit hesitant myself, but if it means to help rescue these kids from captivity, I guess I'll go an-." Sully said, voicing his concern with the plan and deciding to do it himself before someone's voice interrupted him.

"I'll do it."

Sully knew that voice and turned around to see Squeaky raising his hand, the other Rangers a bit flabbergasted at the sudden volunteering by the mouse.

"Squeaky, are you sure you want to do this?" Gabriela asked Squeaky.

"I'm sure, GB. Besides, bein' small sometimes has its advantages." Squeaky replied.

"Squeaky, you and I are the same size plus I can fly. Why don't you let me do it?" Gabriela responded, pointing out the size similarity and the fact she can fly while he can't.

"GB, I just don't wantcha tuh get hurt, plus we kind of need our Chief of Operashuns. Right?" Squeaky answered, causing Gabriela to unknowingly blush as she gave a slight chuckle.

"GB, you're blushing." Sully pointed out, causing GB to look and realize he was right.

"Oh, you're right. Sorry." Gabriela said, trying to stop blushing but with little success.

"Alright, anyone else want to volunteer?" Nicholas said, changing the subject.

"What about Burble? I mean, de big guy does have experience wit' orphanages" Squeaky suggested, catching the polar bear off guard.

"Woah there, Squeaky. Just because I was an orphan doesn't mean I have experience with them, everyone is different and I wasn't raised in an abusive environment." Burble replied, pointing out that experience doesn't mean anything in this case.

"But you're the one who can connect with these kids the most. Burble, please...do it for the children, give them someone to look up to." Fallbot rebuked,

"I don't know…" Burble started to say before sighing, unsure of his decision.

"Burble, if you don't want to do this, we understand." Kitty said, putting her hand on the polar bear's shoulder in comfort as Burble turned to Nicholas.

"How long will it be before the plan begins?" Burble asked the Deputy Marshal.

"It might take a couple days to get a warrant drawn up and signed, maybe even longer." Nicholas answered as Burble sighed after a minute or two of silence.

"I'll give you my answer tomorrow, that should give me some time to think this over." Burble responded.

"Okay, I understand. Well, this briefing is adjourned, we'll reconvene...whenever, so...just go and enjoy the city of San Diego." Nicholas said to the Rangers and Abigail, acting like a judge which gave the Rangers a quick chuckle as everyone left to wait for when the warrant will be ready.

Admiral Sebastian Sealford's residence

Naval Base San Diego

1835 Papa

A knock came to the door before the hand of Sebastian turned the knob and the door opened to reveal Mark, wearing a red t-shirt with black shoulders and sleeves with tan khakis and black shoes. With him was his wife, who was a grey wolf wearing a yellow t-shirt and jeans with light tan high heels.

"Admiral." Mark said, giving Sebastian a salute as the doberman stood at attention, Sebastian gave a small chuckle before giving his reply.

"At ease, sailor. Sully told me you were coming along with your wife, it's nice to meet you, Mrs. Dobewehr." Sebastian replied to Mark before turning to Mrs. Doberwehr, revealing her and Mark's surname.

"Thank you, Admiral. But please, call me Stacey." Mrs. Dobewehr said to Sebastian, revealing her first name to the Admiral as the two shook hands.

"Well then, call me Sebastian. Why don't you come in, you two?" Sebastian responded, inviting the two in.

"Thank you, sir." Mark said as he walked in.

"Thank you, Sebastian." Stacey said as she followed behind Mark inside before Sebastian closed the door as the two saw Sully approached them.

"Sully." Mark said to the approaching Danger Ranger, who was wearing a dark blue t-shirt with the words NAVY in white bold letters on the front in the right corner like an emblem and jeans.

"Mark." Sully responded as two shook hands before coming in for a hug and finishing it after a few seconds as Stacey approached the two.

"Oh, Stacy. I'd like you to meet my childhood friend, Sully. He's the admiral's younger son. Sully, meet my wife, Stacey." Mark said when he turned and saw Stacey before introducing her and Sully to each other.

"Nice to meet you." Sully said to Stacey, extending out his hand to her.

"Nice to meet you, too. Hey, you kind of look like one of the Danger Rangers." Stacey replied to Sully as she shook his hand before getting that remark about him looking like one of the Danger Rangers, which was in fact, true since he is one of the Danger Rangers.

"Yeah, I get that a lot." Sully smiled at the remark, coming to the conclusion that Mark didn't tell Stacey that he's a Danger Ranger.

Sully turned to see Kitty approach him wearing a pink t shirt with grey shoulders and sleeves with jeans as well.

"Stacey, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Kitty Cattrall. Kitty, this is Mark's wife, Stacey." Sully said, introducing the two to each other.

"Nice to meet you, Stacey." Kitty said to Stacey as she extended out her hand to Stacey.

"You too, Kitty." Stacey replied as the two shook hands.

"Excuse me, Stacey. I'm going to have to take your husband for a second, is that okay with you?" Sully asked Stacey.

"It's okay, Sully. I'll just take your girlfriend then." Stacey replied which made the four chuckle before the two groups separated, Sully and Mark going into his old room while Kitty and Stacey went to the couch.

Mark closed the door to Sully's room before speaking to the Danger Ranger who was standing in the middle of the room.

"I take it you didn't tell her that I am a Danger Ranger, right?" Sully asked Mark as the doberman approached him.

"I didn't. I think it be best if you tell her since ultimately, it is your decision." Mark replied.

"Mark, I tend not to reveal my personal life to just anyone, it's kind of a secret and also a slight matter of national security at least that's what I have been told." Sully responded.

"Told?" Mark asked, confused at what Sully had said.

"Mark, Like you, I have higher ups. The only agency ranked above us is the Secret Service, but they don't get involved in our missions, unless of course, it's something that involves both of us, but we tend not to get involved in their operations, investigations and such." Sully answered, revealing to Mark that the United States Secret Service is ranked higher than them in the governmental ladder.

"Ah, I see. But don't worry, I'll keep your personal life and your Danger Ranger life separate." Mark assured him, putting his hand on Sully's shoulder.

"Thanks, Mark. I'm saying you shouldn't spew out to the world that I am a Danger Ranger." Sully replied.

"Sully, you know how I am at keeping secrets, I never told your father about how you got that black eye when we were in fifth grade, remember." Mark responded, reminding Sully about his secret keeping.

"Yeah, I remember." Sully said, chuckling a bit in his dialogue.

"Now we better get back to the girls, we shouldn't keep them waiting." Mark replied as he turned to the door.

"You're right." Sully responded as Mark opened the door with the sounds of the two girls laughing being heard as Mark headed out the room with Sully following behind as the two saw Kitty and Stacey laughing like one of them had just said or told something hilarious.

"So-...So...That really happened?" Stacey asked, laughing while talking as Kitty started to stop laughing.

"Y-...Yeah. It was really funny!" Kitty answered, laughing while speaking as well while Mark was confused at what they were talking about.

"What is she talking about?" Mark asked Sully in a hushed whispered tone as the Danger Ranger who rolled his eyes and sighed.

"I'll tell you later, and trust me, this happened before we dated. Way before." Sully answered as the two approached the girls.

"Hey, you two. Did you both have fun?" Stacey asked the two like a mother would her kids.

"Yes, mom." Mark jokingly mocked like a child as the two leaned in for a quick kiss.

"So, is everyone ready?" Sully asked the two.

"Yeah, I could eat." Mark replied.

"So could I." Stacey responded as well to Sully's question as Sebastian approached the four.

"Unfortunately, due to me getting the notice so late, I wasn't able to make the necessary preparations for it." Sebastian said, admitting he couldn't really make the preparations needed for a dinner with guests.

"That's okay, sir. Why don't we head out? I know this great place we can go." Mark replied as he got up with Stacey getting up just a few seconds later and suggesting a place for them to eat.

"Really?" Sully asked, a bit hesitant about what he was talking about.

"Oh, come on, Sully. I introduced you to the place, remember?" Mark answered, asking Sully if he remembered what he was talking about.

"What are you ta-...Oh...I know what you're talking about." Sully responded, realizing what Mark was talking about.

"What is he talking about?" Kitty asked, not knowing what Sully realized as he realized a second thing.

"I'll tell you in a minute, I just remembered I need to tell Dad something." Sully answered before getting up as everyone else except for Sebastian got up as well and started walking towards the door.

"Hey, Dad. Are you going to be free tomorrow?" Sully asked, turning to his father.

"Well, I don't think I have any plans for tomorrow, why?" Sebastian replied and asked.

"Well, you see…" Sully started to say before he got up close to Sebastian's ear and spoke to him in a hushed or whispering tone for a minute or two, explaining something to him with Sebastian shaking his head throughout, understanding what Sully was saying as Kitty turned around as the four approached the door with Mark opening it to see Sully still talking to Sebastian.

"Sully, you coming?" Kitty asked, interrupting the conversation between Sully and Sebastian.

"Oh, right. I'll talk to you later, Dad." Sully said to Sebastian as he suddenly caught up to Kitty as she was about to head out the door.

"What were you talking to him about?" Kitty asked as she and Sully headed out the door.

"It's a surprise, but I'll tell you later when we get back." Sully answered as he closed the door and he and Kitty met Mark and Stacey at the end of the steps

"I'm actually surprised she hasn't noticed our vehicles." Sully internally thought as his eyes turned to his and Kitty's vehicles that were in the driveway as all four of them got into a silver SUV parked in the driveway behind the two Rangers' vehicles.

Later at 1945 Papa…

The door opened as Sebastian, who was watching TV looked up and saw the four return inside the home before turning off the TV, getting up and coming over the four.

"So, how was it?" Sebastian asked the four.

"It was great, Mr. Sealford." Kitty answered with the other three shaking their heads in agreement.

"Well, that's good, glad you had a great time." Sebastian responded as he suddenly turned and left to go somewhere in the house as Mark looked at his watch.

"Well, I wish we could stay a bit longer, but I think we should really be heading back home. Sorry about this." Mark said, making Sully and Kitty turn around to face Mark and Stacey as he apologized to the two Danger Rangers.

"That's okay, Mark. We understand." Sully said to the two, forgiving their apology, even though it wasn't warranted.

"Well, It was nice meeting you, Sully. And you too, Kitty." Stacey said, shaking the two Rangers' hands. First Sully, then Kitty.

"It was nice to meet you too, Stacey." Kitty replied to her as she finished shaking her hand before Mark turned to Sully before opening his arms as a gesture for a hug.

Sully took it and the two hugged for a minute or two before separating it.

"See ya, you two." Mark said as he and Stacey turned around and head for the door with the two Rangers waving them goodbye as the two approached the door before it opened up and the two walked out of the house, closing the door behind them.

Later at 9:43 PM…

The ceiling, it was the only thing Burble could stare at as he laid in the bed of the hotel room the other Rangers were staying in.

"I can't believe it, I shouldn't be thinking about this. I'm a Danger Ranger for goodness sakes! I'm supposed to be helping people, even kids...so what's stopping me from agreeing to this plan set up by Nick?" Burble thought, starting to get a bit flustered at why he was hesitant to do the plan set up by Nicholas to get Harvey Jagulon.

Burble decided to get up from his bed and go into the bathroom before turning on the light and stood in front of the sink before turning on the water and washing his face for about ten seconds or a bit more and grabbing the nearby towel.

Burble dried his face as he stared in the mirror for what seemed to be a couple minutes before looking down and closing his eyes before taking a slow deep breath, sighing in the process as he opened his eyes and looked back up at his reflection.

"I'll do it." Burble said to the mirror before heading out of the bathroom and hitting the lights, filing the room with darkness.

San Diego Children's Hospital

San Diego, California

11:35 AM

The door opened to Ricky's room as Sully, now in his DR uniform walked in which surprised the raccoon who was reading a children's book as he looked up and saw Sully enter the room, a smile coming onto his face.

"Ranger Sully!" Ricky said, happy to see the Danger Ranger.

"Hey, Ricky. How are you feeling?" Sully replied and asked as he pulled up a chair and set down on Ricky's bedside.

"Great, but I feel a little tired. Why are you here, Ranger Sully?" Ricky answered and asked the Danger Ranger why he came back.

"Well, Ricky, you know how you said you wanted to be in the navy?" Sully answered in the form of a question.

"Yeah, why?" Ricky replied.

"Well, I got someone I think you would like to meet." Sully responded.

"Who is it, Ranger Sully? A-Are they g-gonna h-...h-hurt me?" Ricky asked, suddenly starting to get a bit hesitant by coming to the possible conclusion that something bad would happen which made Sully's expression turn to shock and a bit of horror.

"Ricky, I would never, ever do that. I would never knowingly put you or any child or even anyone in danger like that." Sully answered.

"Y-You P-Promise?" Ricky replied, asking Sully to swear not to hurt him knowingly.

"I promise, Ricky.

"I'm sorry, Ranger Sully." Ricky said, apologizing to Sully.

"It's okay, Ricky. I understand why you were concerned." Sully responded, forgiving Ricky's apology.

"So, who were you gonna have me meet, Ranger Sully?" Ricky asked as Sully got up from his chair and went to the door as he got about halfway out.

"Alright, you can come in now." Sully said to someone outside the room before getting back into the room as the mystery person came in. It was Sebastian, wearing his USN dress uniform before Sully looked back outside, looking different directions for a few seconds before heading back towards Sebastian.

"Ricky, I'd like you to meet Admiral Sealford, I asked him to come down here to meet you." Sully said, introducing his father to Ricky who was shocked.

"Hello, Ricky." Sebastian said to Ricky, introducing himself to the shocked raccoon.

"H-Hello, a-are you really an A-Admiral?" Ricky asked, still shocked at seeing Sebastian.

"Yes, I am. I'm a four-star admiral, see?" Sebastian replied as he knelt down to show Ricky his shoulder boards, Ricky's eyes widened in awe before the raccoon child gave a salute to him.

Sebastian saluted back before Ricky turned to Sully, who was now standing at the edge of the bed, smiling.

"Thank you!" Ricky said, thanking Sully.

"You're welcome, Ricky. But there's much more than just this." Sully replied, revealing there's more surprises for Ricky.

"Really?" Ricky asked, his eyes filling up with glee.

"Yep, there is. Admiral?" Sully answered before turning his head towards Sebastian and giving him a nod to signal something as Sebastian went over to the plastic bag and opened it up, pulling out a white navy captain's peaked cap and handed it over to Ricky, who was essentially shocked at what was just given to him.

"Is this...mine?" Ricky asked, still reeling from the shock.

"Sully told me you wanted to join the navy, so I decided to give you something and make you an honorary Captain." Sebastian said as Ricky looked back at the peaked cap before putting it on, it was a bit big, but it fit him as the raccoon's smile grew in excitement and glee.

"Thank you, Admiral." Ricky said, happy for the gift he received.

"You're welcome, Ricky. But we got one more surprise for you." Sebastian replied, revealing he's got one more gift for Ricky.

"What is it?" Ricky asked, gleeful about the surprise.

"You see, Ricky. I asked Dr. Madison if we could take you out of this stuffy hospital and take you to Naval Base San Diego and I'll have dad give you a tour of the destroyer he commands, the USS Decatur." Sully answered, which Ricky smiled in excitement.

"Really?!" Ricky exclaimed, happy at the surprise.

"Yep. We can go right now, if you want to." Sully replied, the raccoons eyes grew and smile widened as far as it could, almost looking like he was about to fly off like a rocket with all the excitement building up.

"YES! I do wanna go! Thank you, Daddy!" Ricky exclaimed, nearly screaming in pure joy and happiness and also unknowingly calling Sully his father as the raccoon hugged him.

Sully's expression of sudden shock, Ricky just called him his father, words failed to escape his mouth.

Sebastian eyes widened a bit, his reaction to what Ricky had said before the admiral gave a small chuckle as Ricky suddenly realized what he said and let go of Ranger Sully.

"R-Ranger Sully, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to s-." Ricky exclaimed, apologizing for what he said before Sully put his finger onto Ricky's muzzle, stopping the raccoon from rambling before taking it off and giving Ricky his response.

"It's okay, Ricky. There's no use crying over spilled milk." Sully replied, assuring the raccoon that he had no qualms against him for calling the Danger Ranger his dad.

"B-But I d-didn't spill any m-milk." Ricky said, his expression being of confusion, indicating he was confused at what Sully had said.

"It's just an expression, a figure of speech, Ricky. It means and I'm saying that you don't have to get upset over small things." Sully explained to Ricky.

Later at 11:55 AM…

The three had walked down the halls with Ricky, still wearing the peaked cap in a wheelchair being pushed by Sully as they reached the doors and headed out of the hospital.

Once those doors opened and they went to the back of the hospital, Ricky's eyes widened once more and he smiled as what he saw was something that any kid would make them have the same reaction.

Ricky was seeing the Hovercraft and on the end of the ramp going inside were the Danger Rangers themselves, waiving to the three.

Ricky started to laugh in happiness at what he was seeing before turning around towards Sully.

"Did you do this for me, Ranger Sully?" Ricky asked.

"Yeah, I did. I thought it's the least I could do plus it's like your own Make-A-Wish." Sully answered as the three started to go up the ramp that led into the hovercraft.

"Ricky, I like for you to meet Ranger Kitty, Ranger Burble, Ranger Burt, Ranger Squeaky, Ranger Gabriella and Ranger Fallbot." Sully said to Ricky, introducing him to the rest of the Danger Rangers.

"H-H-Hi." Ricky said to the Danger Rangers, possibly being a bit hesitant as seen by his voice and the way he was talking.

"Hello." The Rangers replied, saying hello to Ricky as the Hovercraft ramp closed as the Rangers showed off the hovercraft to Ricky and Sebastian before they took off to Naval Base San Diego.

The Rangers arrived at the Naval Base with the crew of the USS Decatur gave Ricky quite the welcome, treating him like a real Captain and giving him a tour of the Navy destroyer, the raccoon enjoying his experience as Ricky was told by Sebastian that he'll always have a place in the US Navy before taking Ricky back to the hospital.

The next day…

Harvey Jagulon's residence

San Diego, California

Burble and Squeaky stared at the two story white house with a brown roof, two windows in the front at the top, just above the brown porch roof which had six white pillars connecting to the widened grey concrete porch. The door was brown with two big double windows to both sides of said door with the curtains closed.

"Are yuh ready, Burble?" Squeaky asked the polar bear as Burble stopped staring at the house and turned to Squeaky.

"O-Oh...yeah. Right. SAVO, scan the house for any safety infractions." Burble said to Squeaky before turning to SAVO and asking him to scan the house for safety infractions.

"I've already done that, Ranger Burble and I've found multiple safety infractions within that house as well as the target, it's on the second floor." SAVO replied, confirming to the two Danger Rangers that there were infractions inside the house.

"Yuh got de ting we need, big guy" Squeaky asked Burble as the bear started to take the first steps towards the house.

"Yeah, I made sure I had it before we left the police station." Burble answered as their SAVO units beeped as Sully appeared on the screen of it.

"Alright, guys. You know the plan, right?" Sully asked the two as Burble stopped in approaching of the house.

"Yeah, me and de big guy will head inside, Burble distracts de mook while I will put in de flash drive wit' SAVO transmittin' anythin' ovuh tuh yuh guys." Squeaky replied, laying out the plans for the operation in a simplified manner as Nicholas appeared on the SAVO unit.

"And if anything goes south, I want you two to initiate plan B and get out of there as fast as you can!" Nicholas said to them before Kitty appeared on screen.

"Good luck, you two. Be safe." Kitty said to the two as the SAVO unit's screen changed back to SAVO.

"Alright, let's do this." Burble said to Squeaky as he walked up onto the porch and approached the door before giving it a few knocks.

The door opened up to reveal a small red fox child, a male wearing a red t shirt and blue pants and behind him was a male adult jaguar wear a orange t shirt and black khaki pants, it was Harvey Jagulon.

"Can I help you? Oh, you're the Danger Rangers, aren't you?" Harvey asked the two Danger Rangers who were now on his porch before realizing who the two were.

"Yeah, I'm Ranger Squeaky, the big guy is Ranger Burble." Squeaky replied, introducing him and Burble to Harvey.

"Well, I'm Harvey Jagulon and this little guy right here is William." Harvey said, introducing himself and the fox child to the Rangers.

"Hello." William said, saying hi to the two.

"Hey there." Squeaky replied as Harvey whispered something in William's ear before the fox shook his head in understandment and went away from Harvey and seemingly went up stairs as the sounds were to be believed.

"Well, what can I do for you, Danger Rangers?" Harvey asked the two.

"W-Well, Mr. Jagulon. We've been doing safety checks in the area and we found that your residence has a multitude of safety infractions, so we're here to take care of them." Burble explained before Squeaky jumped in, giving the somewhat truthful version of the reason why they were there.

"It ain't somethin' dat isn't really easily fixable though, but it is a danguh dat could cawze someone tuh get hurt." Squeaky added.

"I see. Well, the building is old, but I do see your reasoning, come on in." Harvey said, letting the two Danger Rangers enter the residence with Harvey closing the door behind them.

The residence inside had light blue walls, dark wood floorings and stairs on the left side leading up to the second floor, where the target is.

Harvey got in front of the two Rangers after closing the door behind them.

"So, where shall we start?" Harvey asked the two as the plan has now started.

Meanwhile outside and out of view from the residence, the San Diego PD and the San Diego County Sheriff's Office were on standby and in the Mobile Command Center, the Danger Rangers were inside along with Nicholas and a few SDPD officers as they anxiously waited for something to occur, Abigail didn't join them due to this being something not related to the USCG.

"I hope this plan works." Sully said, concern in his voice, catching the attention of Nicholas since his voice was not quiet enough for Nicholas not to hear.

"Don't worry, Ranger Sully. We have plan B to fall back on in case it goes south." Nicholas replied, reassuring Sully that Burble and Squeaky will be okay.

"I hope so, I don't want any of my teammates' blood spilled." Sully responded.

Meanwhile, inside a little while later, Burble and Squeaky had been pointing out and fixing the safety infractions within the residence.

Hold on, Mr. Jagulon. It seems I have tuh use de bathroom." Squeaky said as the three stopped.

"Go right on ahead, Ranger Squeaky. It's upstairs, left hand side, second to last door in the hall." Harvey replied, giving the location of the bathroom to the mouse Danger Ranger.

"Thanks." Squeaky said as he got down to the floor from Burble's shoulder and back down the hallway to the stairs.

Squeaky got to the second floor and started to walk down the hallway when something made him suddenly turn around real quick, he pushed open the door that wasn't closed all the way, but enough not to attract attention before sneaking inside.

What he saw was in a bedroom, the second left one to be exact, inside on two beds were two kids, both boys.

Both boys were on their respective beds, the boy on the left was William, the boy Squeaky and Burble saw earlier and a bird boy with a light blue feathers wearing a red baseball cap, a yellow shirt and blue shorts.

The bird boy had his arms wrapped around his stomach and Squeaky heard the sounds of a growling stomach, indicating the child was hungry and looking at his appearance, he looked malnourished.

Squeaky stayed out of sight of the kids as he looked on in horror before it turned to anger, he knew Harvey had to be stopped.

"SAVO, take some pictures and send dem tuh de SDPD, will yuh? And keep it quiet." Squeaky whispered to SAVO as he put his arm up as high as he could with the SAVO unit facing the kids for about thirty seconds before speeding out of the room and back into the hallway, heading down there towards the last door at the end.

"Guys, Yuh got it?" Squeaky said silently as he approached the door at the end of the hallway and saw that the door was closed, but he could slip under the door bottom.

It turns out that the plan was in motion, Squeaky lied about needing to use the bathroom in order to get upstairs and into the office to see if there was anything they can use to stop Harvey's trafficking ring.

"Yeah, we got it. But Nicholas said we need something more, we need documents, images, anything, we can't go off on just this." Sully replied as Squeaky squeezed and slipped under the door bottom, taking out the USB drive he had been hiding under his uniform on his back.

"Well, I'm in de office right now, I'll tell yuh if I find anything." Squeaky responded as he was now inside the office and saw the big brown vintage desk and the computer sitting on top of it as he headed behind the desk, he managed to get up on it and approach the computer before taking the USB drive out and putting it in.

"SAVO, connect through de USB and scan through de computuh and see if yuh can find anythin' dat would say dat Harvey Jagulon is a traffickuh. Documents, Images, anythin' and send dem tuh de team, Nicholas and de SDPD." Squeaky said to SAVO as he got near the keyboard and looked at the screen, waiting for something to happen.

"I found some documents, Ra- Oh, my! Ranger Rodent... you might want to see this." SAVO said to Squeaky after scanning through the computer for about a minute or two before something caught the AI off guard.

"Show it on de computuh screen, SAVO." Squeaky responded before looking at what SAVO saw, the mouse's eyes widening in shock and horror before he almost vomited in the process.

"TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!" Squeaky exclaimed in a softer tone to not attract attention as he closed his eyes for a minute or two before opening them and his eyes didn't widen like before nor did he gag.

Meanwhile, Sully and Kitty covered both their eyes at the sight of what Squeaky saw, Nicholas' eyes widened in horror and the officer manning the computer having the same reaction.

"Officer, turn it off." Nicholas said as he told the officer to turn off what they were seeing, which he did, Nicholas sighing in relief.

"Is that enough for you, Deputy Marshal?" Kitty asked, a bit of shock or horror or a mixture of both coming through in her voice, the two were horrified at what they just saw.

Nicholas tried to reel from what he saw, so it may take him a bit.

Inside the building, Squeaky quickly got off the desk and scurried out of the office before slipping through the same door bottom, forgetting the USB in the computer as he got out before hurrying to the stairs and went down them as fast as he could.

Later on, Burble and Squeaky walked out of the residence and back onto the sidewalk and proceeded to walk down it with Harvey waving goodbye to the two.

Squeaky still was gagging a bit from what he saw on the computer as he turned to Burble and managed to get out a single word.

"Now?" Squeaky asked, gagging a bit as he turned to Burble, the polar bear turning on his SAVO unit and it showed Sully was answering.

"Now?" Burble asked Sully, which the sea lion shook his head yes before Burble turned to Squeaky.

"Now. Mr. Jagulon, can you come here for a second?" Burble replied back to Squeaky before turning and asking Harvey to come over to them, which he did

"What is it?" Harvey asked the two.

"Well, there's just one more thing left… now!" Burble replied before suddenly exclaiming, like he just gave a signal to someone.

"Harvey Jagulon! U.S Marshals, Halt!" Nicholas exclaimed as he approached the three with his gun drawn, Harvey tried to run for it, bit Burble grabbed his shirt and pulled him back and to the grass, holding him down as Nicholas came with handcuffs in hand and put them on Harvey's wrists after putting his hands behind his back and getting him up to his feet before handing him over to a nearby SDPD officer, who led him away while reading him his Miranda rights.

While the police along with the sheriff's office and Nicholas went inside the home and paramedics helping the kids and getting them to the hospital, Squeaky had gotten off Burble's shoulder and was at the left side of the house as GB flew over to him as he was looking like he was going to hurl.

"Squeaky? Are you-?" Gabriela started to say as she put her wing on his back before he suddenly vomited for a few seconds.

"Squeaky, what happened in there?" GB asked as the mouse breathed heavily from the recent vomiting before he wiped his mouth for any remaining vomit residue and answered GB's question.

"GB...He...H-He…" Squeaky started to say, trying to get the answer out.

"He what?" Gabriela asked the mouse what he was trying to say to her.

"H-He...He had...pawhn…" Squeaky said, revealing more of what he was trying to say while also leaving GB a bit confused.

"Squeaky...How can him having that on his computer-" Gabriela said, confused as to why Squeaky was vomiting over something like porn before Squeaky interrupted her.

"...of...children! He...had pawhn...of kids!" Squeaky finished, revealing to the Hummingbird Danger Ranger of what he saw, which left her a bit shocked and flabbergasted before the mouse suddenly gagged and threw up again for about the same time as before.

"W-What?!" Gabriela exclaimed in shock as Squeaky finished vomiting.

"I saw...so...many...pictures! Dey...Dey…*Hurk!*...Dey...had...s-sex...with…*Gag!*...t-those...ki-...ki-...kids!" Squeaky replied before vomiting again for a bit longer than the previous ones, GB eyes widened when he finished his sentence.

"Santa Maria!" Gabriela exclaimed in a whispered tones as Squeaky finished vomiting before she put his wing around the mouse, comforting him as the mouse looked at SAVO with a glaring scowl.

"D'ja show those tings just tuh get back at me!?" Squeaky asked SAVO angrily, coming up to the theory that SAVO showed him those pictures of the child pornography to get back at him for throwing the cheese at the AI.

"I honestly don't know what you're talking about, Ranger Rodent." SAVO responded innocently, which made Squeaky a bit more angrier.

"When we get home...I'm gonna rip out every wire in your systems and send dem to de Marianis Trench!" Squeaky exclaimed with his teeth clenched in the same angry tone he was in now.

"Squeaky, don't. I'm sure SAVO didn't do what you said with malice or intent, now come on, let me help you settle that stomach of yours." Gabriela replied, intervening and trying to calm down the situation before the two went together back to where everyone else was to try and find something that'll settle Squeaky's stomach.

San Diego Children's Hospital

San Diego, California

1:24 PM

The Rangers were at the hospital with the police, Nicholas, taking interviews with the kids and what Harvey was doing to them.

Some of the kids did tell the investigators they were raped by multiple adults through the years, mostly males.

Once everyone was done, they probably got statements and evidence to convict Harvey, but probably it be better if they can shut down the whole operation and who Harvey's been selling the kids to.

As Burble finished talking to a CPS worker, Nicholas came to the Rangers who had just finished with the interviews they did.

"So, do we have enough?" Sully asked.

"Enough for D.A Michael Rabalio himself to come down, I think yeah, we have enough. Also, we've sent the names to other state police forces, the feds and INTERPOL, we found that some of the names on the list were of the Middle East." Nicholas answered.

SDPD Interrogation

2:40 PM

On one side of the table was Harvey Jagulon, on the other was Nicholas and District Attorney Michael Rabalio, an aged Rabbit in a white shirt under a grey suit jacket, red tie and grey pants.

On the other side of the one way mirror were the Danger Rangers and Abigail watching.

"I should be in dere wit' dat mook, so I can give him what fawh!" Squeaky exclaimed, still reeling a bit from the raid, seeing all that was a more than surprising to say the least.

"Squeaky…" GB started to say as she put her hands/wings on Squeaky's shoulders, trying to comfort him or stop him from busting through that window that gave them all the viewing of the interrogation as Sully went inside and joined them.

"Mr. Jagulon, you have quite the charge sheet against you, not including the federal charges against you, the state has enough to put you away for a long time and you'll be branded as a sex offender for the rest of your life, so I think you better think about your options right now." Michael said to the jaguar.

"I-." Harvey started to say before the door the interrogation room opened suddenly and voice came from the person coming in.

"Don't say another word!" The voice exclaimed as the person entered and went over to Harvey, the voice was a jackal wearing a white dress shirt and a golden tie under a black jacket and black pants.

"Who are you?" Nicholas asked the jackal who put down a briefcase on the table before revealing his name.

"Alexander Jackman, attorney for Mr. Jagulon as well as Mr. Lionson and Mr. Foxi." The jackal said to them, revealing his name and that he is the attorney for Harvey as well as Jack and Donny.

"Well, I'm Deputy Marshal Goldioso with the U.S Marshals and this is-." Nicholas replied, introducing himself and was about to with Michael, but Alexander put his hand up to stop him.

"I know who D.A Rabalio is, I take it you are one of the Danger Rangers?" Alexander said to Nicholas before turning to see Sully in the corner of the room and asking him if he was one of the Danger Rangers.

"Yeah, I'm Ranger Sully. What's it to you?" Sully responded and asked Alexander before suddenly a knock came to the door before it opened and a lion officer was at the door.

"Ranger Sully, there's a phone call for you from someone named Dr. Madison." The officer told Sully as the Danger Ranger's eyes widened as he went out to answer the call, leaving Harvey and Alexander a bit confused.

"What's going on?" Alexander asked, confused on why there was a call for Sully.

"Ask your client, excuse me." Nicholas answered as he got up and left the room as well.

"Well, since we're going to be here for a little while, I think we can work out some sort of deal." Michael told the two as Alexander sat down and the two got ready to start negotiating a deal.

Outside, Sully on the phone with Dr. Madison as the Rangers and Abigail left the observation room.

"R-Really? Are you sure? O-Okay. Yes...Yes, I'll be there. Thank you, Doctor." Sully said to the voice on the other end before hanging up.

"Sully, what happened?" Kitty asked.

"Ricky...His cancer...I-It s-spread...I-...I got to go!" Sully replied before suddenly started running, heading out of the station.

"Sully, wait!" Kitty exclaimed as she started to run after him with the other Rangers, Abigail and Nicholas in tow and managed to get outside, only to see Sully's rocket car driving away.

San Diego Children's Hospital

2:53 PM

Sully arrived at the hospital and hurried through the hallway to find Dr. Madison and eventually got to the Jack Russell Terrier doctor waiting for him.

"Ranger Sully, please come with me. The cancer has now spread to his entire body and it happened so quick. Add in the extreme malnourishment he has, we don't how long he has. He's lost most if not all his muscle control, He asked for you when it spread and you're the only one who we know of so far to contact since he is an orphan and we are unable to contact his caretaker, that's for if you want to know why I called you here." Dr. Madison explained to Sully as he led the Danger Ranger down to Ricky's room.

"Well, you can forget about the caretaker, he's been arrested." Sully replied as the two reached Ricky's room, the door was open.

"He's waiting for you." Dr. Madison said to Sully as the Danger Ranger went inside the room.

Sully walked into the room to see Ricky, the raccoon looked pale, his eyes had bags and were half lidded and there was a thin nasal oxygen tube that went across his muzzle and face.

The raccoon turned his head weakly to see Sully walk into the room and smiled in the same weak manner.

"H-Hey, Ranger S-...Sully." Ricky said weakly as Sully walked up to Ricky's bedside.

"Hey, Ricky. How are you feeling?" Sully replied back and asking how the raccoon was feeling.

"K-...Kinda...c-...cold...and t-...tired. I-I'm gonna...g-go to...h-heaven and s-see m-...mo-mommy a-and daddy again, a-am I?" Ricky answered, Sully nearly having tears fill his eyes at Ricky's conclusion that he might die.

"R-Ricky, don't talk like that! Y-You have your wh-whole l-!" Sully said in response for what Ricky said before suddenly, Ricky unintentionally interrupted him.

"R-Ranger Sully, C-Can I a-ask y-you s-...something?" Ricky asked Sully, unintentionally interuppting him.

"S-Sure." Sully answered, trying his best not to burst into tears.

"W-Will yo-you...a-adopt m-...me?" Ricky asked, leaving Sully in a shock which made his eyes fill with tears again, only this time...the tears did flow down his face.

"I-I-...I...Ricky, I-...I-I." Sully stuttered, a bit in shock from what Ricky asked, he never considered having or adopting a child, he wasn't even married yet.

"I-It's o-...okay, R-Ranger...Sully. I-I-...U-Unders-...stand" Ricky said, taking his stuttering as a refusal to adopt him, and Ricky was sort of right.

Sully wasn't a parent at all and he couldn't be a Danger Ranger and a parent at the same time, he didn't know the first thing about being a parent. But he flashbacked to when Ricky unknowingly called him Daddy back at the hospital and he felt a sort of connection with this kid, but he didn't want to smash his dreams.

"Ricky...You're right, I w-wish I could adopt you. B-but, y-you'll a-always be like m-my own." Sully replied to the Raccoon, telling him that even though he couldn't adopt him, he saw Ricky as if he was his own, which made the raccoon smile even in his weakened state.

"Ranger S-Sully, c-can you d-do...s-...something f-for m-...m-me?" Ricky asked weakly.

"W-what?" Sully replied.

"C-Can y-...you s-sing for me? M-...m-mama u-used t-...t-to s-s-sing fo-...for me w-when I-...I- I would g-go t-...T-to sl-... sleep."

Ricky said, asking the Danger Ranger to seemingly sing a lullaby for him, possibly as an unknowable final request.

"Y-Yes, I- *Sniff*...I'll s-...s-sing f-for you." Sully answered Ricky as he sniffed and wiped the tears from his eyes with a tissue nearby and took a couple of deep breaths before singing to Ricky, knowing this might be the last thing the kid will hear.

"Anchors Aweigh, my boys. Anchors Aweigh.

Farewell to foreign shores, we sail at break of day...o-of day.

T-Through our last n-night at shore, h-hail to the f-foam.

U-until w-we meet o-once m-m-more, we're w-wishing y-you a h-happy...v-v-voyage...home."

The monitor's alarms and a flatline from the EKG started going off as Sully finished singing Anchors Aweigh, the doctors rushed in and got him out of the room, trying to resuscitate Ricky.

Sully sat down on the chair outside the room and buried his face with his hands, breaking down and silently crying as he heard the defibrillator charge up.

A few minutes pass as Sully managed to stop crying. A hand was put on his shoulder, making him look up to see Dr. Madison who shook his head, Ricky didn't make it.

As left, the Danger Rangers, Nicholas and Abigail ran over and saw Sully, still sitting in the chair with tears in his eyes, he shook his head, telling the Rangers and the two federal agents that Ricky was dead.

The Rangers' eyes filled with tears as Kitty went over to Sully and was about to hug him before Sully suddenly hugged her first.

Kitty embraced it for a minute or two before they finished and the Rangers with the two agents left the hospital to go to the police station and report the news to District Attorney Rabalio and Nicholas.

SDPD Interrogation

The door opened as Harvey and Counselor Jackman waited with D.A Rabalio as Sully and Deputy Marshal Goldioso walked in.

"Okay, Mr. Rabalio. Now that everyone is here, we can discu-. Ranger Sully, have you been crying?" Alexander said before noticing Sully's eyes were a little red and were looking like he was crying.

"Ranger Sully, are you okay? What happened?" Michael asked, getting up once Counselor Jackman finished speaking and stood in front of Sully, noticing the sea lion's eyes.

"He-...*Sniff*...He did-...He didn't...m-make it...because he...he knew about it! " Sully answered, trying to calm himself and not to break down in tears.

"I...I see." Michael said before turning to Harvey, a stern or angry glare was on his face.

"Oh, no. You are not doing what I think you're doing." Alexander said, realizing what Michael was going to do next.

"That's right. I'm now going to charge your client with Criminally Negligent Manslaughter among the multitude of charges against you." Michael replied.

"Criminally Negligent Manslaughter? He didn't know about the child being sick." Alexander responded.

"Ricky said otherwise!" Sully exclaimed with tears starting to stream down his face.

"You can't take the word of a child who just died, he could have had the cancer for years and you just didn't notice it." Alexander replied, angering Sully.

"Do you have a kid or any kid brothers or sisters, Counselor?" Michael asked Alexander.

"No, not yet and I was an only child." Alexander answered.

"Why do you all care about the kid so much? I knew he was sick with Cancer, but I didn't want the customers to be discouraged." Harvey asked while explaining his reasoning, interrupting and focusing the attention back towards him.

"Harvey, stop talking!" Alexander exclaimed with his teeth closed.

"Costumers? What are you talking about?" Nicholas asked.

"That's it, this interview is over!" Alexander exclaimed again as he got up and was about to leave, but Harvey continued talking, stopping him.

"The people who I provide a safe haven for. Pedosexuals are being oppressed because of their sexuality just like the Homosexuals were. I want make my safe haven for all Pedosexuals."

Sully's fist clenched in anger from what Harvey told him and Nicholas. "Pedo...sexuals?" he thought. "He must be out of his mind to think being a Pedophile is the same thing as being Gay!"

Sully in the back of his mind wanted to sucker punch him for even suggesting that plan of his for Pedophiles was a good idea, but he knew that wouldn't do anything but give Jackman a defense of coerced confession, so he released his grip a bit in order to calm down, but his eyes filled with tears unknowingly.

"Are you involved in any groups that preaches this kind of message?" Nicholas asked.

"I said this interview is over! Whatever he says now is inadmissible in court!" Alexander exclaimed, fuming at Harvey continuing to talk to the three in the room.

"Your client is willingly speaking to us, that tells me that your client wants to keep talking."

"That's...That's coercion!" Alexander exclaimed.

"How? We're not making him or forcing him to talk, any attorney would know this isn't in the slightest coercion. Now, as Deputy Marshal Goldioso asked, are you involved in any groups that promote this kind of thing your saying?"

"I'm not part of a specific group, but I am a founder of a new group that's trying to have Pedosexuality made legal." Harvey explained, which made Sully clench his fist again once again in anger as Harvey finished.

"What is it called?" Nicholas asked.

"It's called the American Pedosexual Constabulary." Harvey answered, revealing the organization's name.

"How many members do you have in this organization?" Nicholas asked again.

"Three direct members including myself, but most are supporters from other organizations who supported our efforts, we also plan to have the LGBT community add us to their roster." Harvey said, that last remark made Sully anger boil, so did Squeaky's as he wanted to slug Harvey for what he said.

"Wait till I get my hands on him…" Squeaky said, itching to burst through the window and strike Harvey across the face as GB flew down to the mouse to try and calm him down.

"Squeaky, por favor. Getting your hands on him won't change anything." Gabriela said, trying to calm Squeaky down, in which it did.

"Sawhry, GB. I just wanna punch him so bad!" Squeaky responded, apologizing for his anger.

"I feel the same way, Squeaky. But clobbering him isn't going to do anything." Gabriela added before getting back to focus on the interrogation.

"Why are you telling us this?" Nicholas asked.

"Because I know you won't charge me with anything. I am a Pedosexual and I will bring a lawsuit against this department, the district attorney's office and the Danger Rangers for discrimination against a protected class if you charge me with anything." Harvey answered, threatening to sue the three organizations that Nicholas, Sully, and Michael belong to. That was it, Sully couldn't hold it any longer and let out his rage.

"That's bull and you know it!" Sully screamed, slamming his hands on the table and shocking everyone both inside and outside interrogation before going on an angry rant aimed at Harvey for his illegal ideals, even starting to cry in the process of ranting.

"You had those kids who trusted you to be their caretaker be raped...b-because of your s-sick, twisted ideology that Pedophilia is okay! You have the utter...gall to say that being a Pedophile is t-the same thing as being Gay! You have n-no right to align yourself to the LGBT community who were discriminated, some even k-killed because of their sexual orientation! And you had the audacity t-to ignore a ch-...a child who had Leukemia and not have him get medical treatment b-because of your customers!? I HOPE YOU ROT IN A DEEP DARK HOLE, YOU HEARTLESS MONSTER!"

"Ranger Sully, that's enough." Michael said as Sully walked out of the room to calm himself down.

"Mr. Rabalio, This has been a waste of time. Now me and my client will be leaving and I plan to file complaints against you and the Danger Rangers and have you both sued!" Alexander exclaimed as he started to get up and leave.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Michael replied, stopping Alexander dead in his tracks.

"And why would that be?" Alexander asked, almost sarcastic in his remark.

"Because suing them will mean you also are suing the US Government and the U.N." Michael answered, getting the interest of Harvey.

"The U.N? How are they involved?" Alexander asked, stepping away from the door.

"The Danger Rangers may be U.S based, but the U.N also has a pact with them. So suing the Rangers will also mean in a way, you're suing the United Nations, do you really want to do that just for a petty thing?" Michael explained.

Alexander decided to sit back down as outside the interrogation room, Sully was clearly upset as he was silently crying with his arm over his eyes and streams of tears running down his face.

The other Rangers had came out and started to comfort Sully and the sea lion managed to calm down in a few minutes as Michael and Nicholas came out, explaining that Harvey confessed and told them the traffickers, Akram Alramadiu, a Grey fox and Mohammed Alwashq, a Caracal, both Yemenis, would be coming in two days with a possible Iraqi accomplice with five girls he sold to the two to be wed to customers on board.

Everyone now had to wait for two days to catch these guys, but at least it gives investigators enough time to gather any extra evidence they might need.

Two days later…

Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery
Cabrillo Memorial Dr, San Diego, CA

In the field filled with white marble tombstones, in front of one was Sully, wearing civilian clothing, which was a dark blue t-shirt and jeans.

The reason for wearing the civilian clothing was remain conspicuous, Sully visiting his mother's grave is kind of a big risk since the public shouldn't know about the Rangers' personal lives with immediate family and close friends being the exemption with factors, it's the reason very little people with the exemption of family knowing about their personal lives.

Sully sighed as he looked at the white marble tombstone which had the words that were inscripted into the tombstone which read...

Jennifer S. Sealford

LT

U.S Navy

JAG Corps

August 16, 1970- September 11, 2001

"Hi, mom. It's been a while since we spoke, I'm part of the Danger Rangers now and its leader, Dad's still in the Navy and Sean is in Coast Guard. You always wanted me to do great things in my life, you always wanted me to never give up even if the odds are against me. Like you said, "Every life and everything has obstacles and while some may want to give up, you keep pushing on, no matter what.". I really do miss you and I wish we could have spended more time together...I wish you met Kitty, you would have liked her and the other Rangers as well...I wish we didn't lose you."

Sully then started to imagine what life would have been like if his mother hadn't died, if she wasn't in New York on that day. Her being there when he hurt himself while riding his bike as a child, as he grew up through the years, when Sean joined the Coast Guard, during Sully's high school graduation, college admission and graduation, during him and his Dad falling out and even yesterday when he returned home and brought Kitty to meet his family, her accepting Kitty as his girlfriend as Sully came back to reality when a male voice spoke to him.

"Family member?"

Sully turned to his left to see who was next to him, it was an English Bulldog in a Marine dress uniform. He was only about a couple inches shorter than Sully, so it would be possible for someone to think they were the same height.

Sully knew he couldn't tell the Marine that's his mother in the grave in front of him.

"Not exactly, she was the mother of a childhood friend of mine." Sully said, lying to the Marine about who exactly was in that grave.

"Ah, well may she rest in peace. You're one of the Danger Rangers, aren't you?" The Marine replied, turning to Sully.

"Yeah, Ranger Sully." Sully said, introducing himself.

"Corporal Matthew Bullton." The Marine now known as Matthew Bullton replied, introducing himself to Sully as the two shook hands.

"And hey, I just want you to know that all the hate they've been saying about you guys, just to know us Devil Dogs are with you all the way." Matthew said to Sully.

"Hate?" Sully asked, confused what the Marine was talking about.

"Yeah, all that nonsense they've been talking about you and the rest of the Rangers, I don't believe it personally and neither does my unit, but I want to know, we're here for you." Matthew answered.

"By who? Who would hate us?" Sully asked again, still confused what Matthew was talking about.

"You don't get on the internet that much, do you?" Matthew asked.

"Not much, why?" Sully replied before suddenly his SAVO unit beeped, catching his attention away from Matthew.

"I have to go." Sully said, knowing what those beeps meant.

"Go, do your thing. Hey, remember...we're with you. Semper Fi." Matthew responded as Sully started to head to his vehicle before stopping at what Matthew said and seeing him salute the Danger Rangers' leader.

"Oorah." Sully replied as he saluted and headed back to his vehicle to meet up at Coast Guard Base San Diego to catch the traffickers.

San Diego Bay

1328 Papa

Aboard a yacht were five girls, all underage and all malnourished with rings on their fingers and even some having baby bumps.

On the yacht was Akram, arguing in Arabic with the possible third Iraqi perp, a Rüppell's fox with Mohammed at the helm of the yacht and two genet guards with assault rifles in hand standing by the door that leads to the lower level of the yacht.

"I don't want to do this! Please, take me back to Iraq!" The Rüppell's fox pleaded, revealing he was Iraqi and sounded like he didn't want to be here.

"Shut up, Asir! Now, please. Pick your wife!" Akram exclaimed back to the now known as Asir, telling him to pick a girl to be his wife.

"No! I refuse! They are just children! I don't want any of them!" Asir yelled, not wanting to choose one of the girls.

"Allah has destined us to take these girls as our wives and if you don't choose, then I will kill you!" Akram exclaimed, threatening Asir with death by pulling out a gun and pointed it at him.

As Akram said that, the three perpetrators, the two guards and the five girls heard sirens wailing as they turned around to see multiple SPC-LE crafts with the Rangers wearing the bulletproof vests and the life vests under their uniforms on the boat with Sean and David as the others with their lights flashing approached the yacht.

"It's the American authorities! Quick, get the girls down below!" Akram exclaimed as he put the gun back in the holster on his belt and the two guards were about to approach the girls before Mohammed exclaimed…

"Akram! They are coming to the bow!"

"What!?" Akram exclaimed back as he went up to the helm and saw multiple boats from the Port Of San Diego Harbor Police approach the yacht as an amplified voice was heard and sounded like it came from one of the SPC-LE's as the crafts surrounded them.

"This is the United States Coast Guard! You are surrounded! Lay down your weapons and get on the ground or we will open fire! You have ten seconds to comply! Get down on the ground now!"

"They found us! What do we do?! I don't want to die!" Asir exclaimed at Akram, who in turn slapped him to get the frantic blanford's fox under control.

"Calm down! I know what to do! Wait here!" Akram replied in an slightly irritated tone before suddenly running towards the lower deck and shutting the door into it, locking it as well.

The two genet guards aimed their weapons at the SPC-LE's surrounding the boat, but they suddenly spazzed and shook as the MSRT fired upon them and they fell to the ground, dead and full of bullet holes, the wall behind them covered with their own blood.

The Danger Rangers turned around when the shooting started and could only hear the sound of gunfire and the girls screaming before turning back when it stopped to see the two armed guards dead. The Rangers have seen some pretty bloody things either by emergencies they were on or on TV or movies, so they weren't affected as much when they saw the guards dead.

Asir had ducked down onto the ground before the shooting started and immediately surrendered once the MSRT boarded the vessel.

Mohammed tried to grab the door to the lower deck, but it was locked as the MSRT approached him and put him to the ground before putting him in zip tie handcuffs as Fallbot boarded the vessel as well.

"Fallbot, wait!" Sully exclaimed as the robot got onto the yacht.

"Ranger Sully. I'm indestructible, remember? But those girls are not, let me get them to you to safety. Don't worry, I'll be okay." Fallbot replied.

"Oh, right. You are...but be careful, Fallbot." Sully responded as the door opened and the MSRT approached the door before hearing infamous Arabic words.

"Allahu Akbar!" Akram screamed in Arabic, causing the MSRT to clear away from the door for the chance that Akram could have a suicide vest on.

But no explosion ensued, instead was the sound of five small pops as five small objects came out of the door and was headed towards Fallbot before suddenly…

*BOOM! X5*

Five repeated explosions were heard and Fallbot was suddenly engulfed in smoke with a lighting appearing within the smoke, indicating that the objects were explosives.

Once the smoke cleared, Fallbot's chest was entirely covered in black smolder marks.

Fallbot continued on as Akram fired again, impacting the robot once more and creating a small explosion, starting to turn the smolder marks darker.

The MSRT was about to rush inside when suddenly two small objects came out of the door, they were grenades and both had their pins pulled.

"Grenade!" One of the MSRT officers exclaimed as some jumped into the water to avoid the blast while the rest moved back, but Fallbot went ahead and grabbed the grenades and shielded everyone from the blasts by covering them with his body.

*BOOM! BOOM!*

Fallbot jerked upwards as the grenades went off. After they did, Fallbot started to get back up, but couldn't seem to have at first as it was evident he was starting to struggle.

"Burt, yuh said Fallbot was indestructible, right?!" Squeaky asked, starting to get a bit frantic.

"Yeah, I did. He is." Burt answered in almost the same tone.

"Den why is he strugglin' tuh get up if he's indestructible?!" Squeaky exclaimingly asked as the Rangers watched Fallbot continue to struggle to get up.

"I don't know! This has never happened before!" Burt replied in the same tone.

"Well, we got to help him! Come on, Rangers!" Sully said as the Rangers boarded the yacht.

Akram saw them come aboard and was ready to fire upon the Rangers as Fallbot managed to get up and block the door from Akram firing on the Rangers.

*BOOM!*

The seventh explosion knocked Fallbot back and to the ground as the Rangers took this opportunity of Fallbot blocking the door to get the girls off the yacht before the explosion was heard.

The Rangers gasped as they saw Fallbot with light black smoke coming from his chest before Akram came out with grenade launcher in hand.

Everyone of the Coast Guardsmen and law enforcement repeated commands to Akram, even some in Arabic to put down the weapon, but Akram rose the launcher at it was aimed at the Rangers as the commands continued, even some aiming their guns at Akram, ready to fire.

The surroundings slowed down as Fallbot suddenly got up and lunged towards Akram and onto him, knocking them both to the ground.

The two struggled for the grenade launcher as the Rangers got the last of the girls on the SPC-LE and was about to run and help Fallbot, but Sean stopped them.

"Rangers, get back!" Sean exclaimed as he raised his handgun at Akram and Fallbot before suddenly...

*BANG!*

Time slowed down as the Rangers' eyes widened in horror as they saw Fallbot in the air, flying with a small explosion erupting from his chest before falling onto the ground, smoke billowing from the robot's chest.

"Fallbot!" The Rangers screamed in horror as Fallbot twitched sporadically as sparks erupted from the smoke billowing from his chest.

"Drop your weapon!" Sean exclaimed as the grey fox aimed the grenade launcher at Sean, the MSRT ready to take the shot before suddenly…

*Click.*

The launcher didn't fire, indicating it was out of ammo. Akram tried to fire again and the same sound was heard.

*Click.*

At the point, the MSRT started to lower their guns a bit as well as the federal agents and the Coast Guardsmen as Sean started to approached Akram, who was continuing to press the trigger over and over.

*Click. Click. Click...*

Sean approached Akram and pulled the launcher away as Abigail and Nicholas boarded and put Akram in handcuffs as the girls were transported away from the scene, one having to be airlifted by Nasir as the Rangers then headed over to Fallbot, seeing a hole in his chest, looking like something erupted from inside of his body, sparking wires were strewn throughout the hole.

"Fallbot! Are you okay?!" Burt exclaimed as Fallbot had his eyes half open as he looked at the hole in his chest.

"H-Hey, W-Who put tha-that there?" Fallbot jokingly remarked as the Rangers' eyes started filling up with tears.

"D-Don't cry, R-Rangers. W-We saved t-the kids, don't w-worry about m-me. I-I'll be o-okay." Fallbot said to the Rangers as he looked at the teary-eyed Rangers one by one.

"Fallbot, y-yuh got a hole in yuh chest! Yuh're not o-okay!" Squeaky exclaimed, nearly on the verge of breaking down in tears as he was standing on the robot, in front of the hole.

"I-I know. I g-guess I w-wanted t-t-to prove m-myself..." Fallbot responded.

"Fallbot...you...you don't n-need to prove yourself!" Sully exclaimed in the same tone Squeaky did in.

"I-I guess n-not...A-at least w-we saved the k-kids. I'm...glad...we...did...it. " Fallbot responded, breathing out his last words and giving his inventor a smile as the turtle nearly starts breaking down in tears before the robot closed his eyes and his body went pale, removing the color from his body as the sound of shutting down was heard.

Fallbot was dead.

Burt instantly broke down in tears as he was on his hands and knees, silently crying and watching his tears drop to the ground.

Kitty couldn't handle her emotions as she hugged Sully before breaking down in tears, Sully didn't fare well either, but he didn't break down, only shedded tears.

Burble went over to Burt with tears streaming down his face and let the turtle hug him for comfort.

Gabriela flew over to Squeaky as the mouse was on his hands and knees with tears streaming down his face and sounds of silent whimpering as the hummingbird hugged him, tears streaming down her face as well.

Squeaky embraced the hug as he started to break down in tears.

The clerk, a mouse who had to use a special kind of steps to get up to the bench said, reading the charges of all six who were arrested in the bust on the child sex ring and giving it to the judge, a brown furred female cat who's name on the bench read Hon. Judge Judith Catlin.

"How do you all plead?" Judge Catlin asked the six before Counselor Jackman answered for them.

"Not guilty on all charges, Your Honor." Alexander answered for the six before the Judge turned to D.A Rabalio.

"People on bail, Mr. Rabalio?" Judge Catlin asked Michael on what the bail would be.

"The People request remand for Mr. Alramadiu and Mr. Alwashq, high bail for Mr. Jagulon, Mr. Foxi, and Mr. Lionson and finally, low bail for Mr. Thaelab. " Michael replied.

"Those are very specific requests, Mr. Rabalio. Why?" Judge Catlin asked.

"Because Mr. Thaelab has been cooperating with authorities and told them he was forced to do this under threat of death by Mr. Alramadiu. The State Department is looking into his claims." Michael answered.

"Any objections, Counselor?" Judge Catlin asked Alexander, turning towards the Jackal lawyer.

"Not to the low bail, but it should be for all my clients." Alexander replied.

"Your honor, Mr. Alramadiu and Mr. Alwashq have the financial means to escape the country to their home country of Yemen or one of the nearby Middle Eastern nations which the U.S. has no extradition treaty with. That's the reason for the remand and the high bail since Mr. Jagulon and Mr. Foxi are locals while Mr. Lionson has an extradition to Texas for smuggling." Michael added.

"Your honor, you can't take his side on this, they should all be at least released on their own recognizance. The people have n-" Alexander started to say before Judge Catlin put her hand up and stopped him.

"Mr. Rabalio, how old are the children?" Judge Catlin asked.

"Between the ages of four and twelve, your honor." Michael answered as Judge Catlin made her decision a minute or two later.

"I'm granting the People's request." Judge Catlin said, granting the request from Michael.

"Your honor!" Alexander protested.

"Enough, Counselor. I am not going to have these monsters escape justice, just so they can do it to more children! The People's request is granted, all defendants are to surrender their passports and those who can make bail will be wearing an ankle monitor. Court's adjourned." Judge Catlin retorted before laying out the People's request before banging her gavel to make it final as the six were led out of the courtroom.

Keystone, South Dakota

12 AM

Three days earlier...

Sully laid in his bed, staring at the ceiling as his mind kept playing Fallbot's "death" and Ricky's death over and over as SAVO appeared on screen on a monitor.

"Ranger Sully, you must sleep. It's not going to be good for you if you stay up all night." SAVO said, making Sully sit up to look at the AI.

"I know, it's just…" Sully started to say as his mind replayed those events again.

"You were thinking about Fallbot?" SAVO replied.

"Yeah...and Ricky." Sully responded.

"Well, I am saddened by the death of that young boy and Fallbot...what he did was brave and courageous, Ranger Burt will probably able to bring him back." SAVO said to Sully, reinstalling hope that Fallbot can come back, but will he be the same?

"I hope so. SAVO, has Burt gone to bed yet?" Sully replied and asked.

"No, Ranger Sully. Ranger Burt has not returned to his room yet." SAVO answered.

"I'm going to check on him, see if he's okay." Sully responded as he got up from his bed and out of his room towards the lab, thinking that Burt must have fallen asleep in his lab or he had hurt himself or the latter happened after falling asleep.

When he got there, his suspicions were confirmed. In a chair with his head on the desk was Burt, sleeping peacefully as Sully sighed in relief that Burt didn't hurt himself fixing Fallbot.

Sully looked over and saw what was Fallbot and now a shell of a body on a metal table with the chest damage seemingly fixed.

Sully then went over to the sleeping turtle and tried to wake him up by shaking him a bit, but it turns out he was out like a light.

Sully then left the lab for a couple minutes and then came back with a blanket in hand before putting over Burt, then heading over to where Fallbot was and pulled a SAVO unit out of his pajama pocket and put it in the robot's hand, leaving the lab, turning most of the lights off, and was ready to go to bed before saying these words.

"Welcome to the team, Fallbot."

Akram and Mohammed were both found guilty of all charges and sentenced to multiple life sentences without parole.

Three days later, Mohammed commited suicide.

Asir was put into the WITSEC program given the fact that he was forced to commit the charges he was accused of, cooperated with authorities, and has asked for asylum in the U.S. He was given a new identity and a new location to live in, it remains unknown.

Harvey pleaded guilty to all charges to avoid life in prison and was sentenced to 65 years and if he were to make parole in the future, he would be registered as a tier 3 violent sex offender for life.

Jack was transferred to Texas for the extradition and his trial is still ongoing, if he were to be found guilty, he will be sentenced to life in prison.

And Donny was found guilty of all charges and was sentenced 45 years behind bars and will be registered as a tier 2 sex offender when he gets out or makes parole.

The children were put into the custody of DCFS and will be transferred to different orphanages, including the one at the Pine Lake orphanage, recommended by Burble.

Most of the husbands of the girls were killed by the fighting or air strikes, few still remain alive and half who tried to escape to Europe were caught by INTERPOL.

The End.

Review

A/N - I am very sorry this chapter took so long to upload, due to multiple roadblocks, life, and a severe case of writer's block, I couldn't get it finished till now. I apologize for the wait, but I'll try and get back on track as the next story, Pyro Peril will be coming out and well as one relating to the opioid crisis that hits close to home for one of the Rangers.

Also, if there are any mistakes I made to the story that readers would notice, PM me what the problem is and I'll try to fix it.
