Hey everyone!
Okay so I thought this would be a one-shot type deal, but I guess not! I got a few requests to do a second chapter, and here it is! If you want a third, please let me know, otherwise I'll leave it as is and let you imagine what happens next. Thanks for the reviews!

Jules held steady in her sniper perch as she peered through the scope.
"Scorpio."
Jules took the shot. Standing behind her, Wordy looked through his binoculars and watched as the subject fell. He put a hand on Jules' shoulder as he spoke into his mic. "Subject down."
"Looks like the scene's properly contained. Jules, SIU is on their way up. You know the drill." The door opened and two SIU agents came onto the rooftop. "Constable Callaghan, you are now sequestered. Nobody speaks to you until we say so. Please bag your rifle, sidearm, and gloves." Jules did so quickly and efficiently. "Let's head downstairs and then to the station. Constable Wordsworth?"
"Sergeant Parker will be her point of contact with Constable Lane as her second. SRU is already faxing over the transcripts. They'll be on your desks." The agents nodded and with that, Jules was off to the SIU.
"Alright, Constable, you're free to go, there's a cruiser waiting outside the main entrance for you. You are non-sequestered, and the paperwork will be sent to Commander Holleran. Nice work Callaghan." Jules smiled at the agent who had spoken and shook his hand. "Thanks, Agent Fuller." She grabbed her SRU jacket as it was handed to her and headed outside, jumping in the front seat of the cruiser. She looked over and nodded at the uniform before turning and looking out the window. Her thoughts drifted to her teenage years.
'That was awesome, Kimberly!' The girl in question smiled as she grabbed a towel from her best friend Trini. 'Thanks, Trini!'
'This isn't exactly the mall, is it?'
'Kimberly, graceful and smart. The Pterodactyl dinosaur will be yours'
'The outfits are cool and everything, but my hair gets tangled inside of those helmets. I don't think I can do it.'
Jules was shaken out of her thoughts by a tap on her shoulder. "Constable Callaghan? We're here." She thanked the officer and got out, jogging into HQ and over to Winnie.
"Jules? There's someone here to see you. he said his name was Clarence Zedd."
Jules paled, pulling her gun out and pointing it at the person standing next to the entrance desk. "Keep your hands where I can see them!" The former villain obeyed immediately and remained still as Team One ran out in full gear and Spike searched him. "He's clean." Spike helped him up, keeping one hand on his gun. "What're you doing here Zedd. Did Vile send you?" He shook his head. "I'm here of my own accord, Constable."
Jules shot him a look. "And that's supposed to make me feel better? After what you did, I should throw you in the darkest, highest security prison cell I can find and never look back."
"You would have as well, if it wasn't for my ever so lovely ex-wife." Jules looked towards Winnie. "Is the conference room open?" At Winnie's nod, she turned to Zedd and motioned with her gun for him to walk towards the conference room. As he headed inside, she turned to the others. "If I haven't come out of there within the next thirty minutes, you come in guns blazing. Until then, no matter what you here, you wait out here. Understood?" Without waiting for a response, she headed over to the panel on the inside of the conference room, closing the doors and disabling the security cameras. Turning to her former arch enemy, she crossed her arms. "Give me one good reason not to shoot you right now."
"Ivan Ooze." Jules froze. "He's nothing but space dust."
"Really? Because the team in Blue Bay showed up at one of our bases beaten nearly to death and covered in a Purple Ooze-like substance." Jules stared at Zedd in disbelief before moving to look out the windows.
"What city did they show up in? Reefside or Blue Bay?" He shook his head. "Neither. They set off the motion sensors at the bunker we have set up between the two cities." She whirled around. "Since when do we have bunkers? And since when have you been one of the rangers' allies?" He looked at her sadly. "A lot has changed in the thirteen years you've been gone. Once Zordon's Wave passed through, I extended my sincerest apologies and sympathies to the rangers I've hurt. The only one I haven't been able to find since then was you. We set up posts around the world. The only place we don't have one is here in Canada. Every ranger team is briefed by one of Zordon's Chosen and given a list of locations to memorize." he handed over a few papers that Jules flipped through quickly. "We're moving as quickly as possible to round everyone up."
Whirling to the panel as the klaxon alarm sounded, she spoke quickly as she tapped on the screen. "Get back to the others. Get my cell number from Winnie and keep me updated. I gotta go. I'll be at the base as soon as possible." He nodded and she hit the final button, looking to him as the metal door quickly rose up. "Stay safe, and keep me informed." She jogged out of the room and pointed to Winnie. "Winnie give him my cell number." Before running to her locker room changing into her spare gear and meeting up with the guys.
~~Four Hour later, Central Plaza~~
"Alright, good job everyone. Let's wrap it up and head home." Jules nodded and turned to the uni next to her. "Get witness statements to SRU as soon as possible. Thanks for all of your help, Mike." Officer Selmont nodded easily. "Happy to help Constable. See you around." The two separate and the SRU officers got into the trucks. With Wordy driving, he and Jules pulled away from the scene, and headed back to HQ.
"So is Shelly excited for the weekend couples vacation?" Wordy looked over at her with a grin on his face. "Yeah, she's already packed and ready to ship the kids off to Uncle Spike's for the weekend." She chuckled. "Spike, are you sure you'll be good to handle that?" "Yeah, the kids love me! Plus, my mom's prepping a feast for them. I hope you're cooking skills miraculously get better over the weekend Wordy, cause you're gonna have to live up to some high expectations when you get back." Jules laughed at Wordy's worried look as they crossed over the bridge. "I think you scared hi-WORDY LOOK OUT!"
A blast came out of nowhere, coming very close to hitting their car. Wordy grunted as he swerved around it and brought the car to a stop, the other two SUV's coming to a stop on the other side of the bridge. Jules looked over at her teammate, her breath coming in short pants. "Wordy, you okay?"
"What the hell was that?!" They both got out of the car and jogged over to their teammates. "Wordy, Jules, you guys alright?" Wordy was the one who responded. "Shaken up, but we're good, boss." The boys looked over as Jules spoke. "Uh, guys? We gotta problem." She pointed with a shaky finger as an unfriendly figure in purple stood up slowly.
"THE OOOOOZE IS BACK!"
