Power Rangers SPD: New Gen Rangers
Chapter 2: The Pink Ranger Pt. 1
Three days ago, Luna was punished for working with a criminal without thinking of the people it might effect. Today is her fourth day in the SPD cells, she has just gotten back from school and was now doing homework when her sister walked in with some food.
" Good afternoon, Luna, I bought your favorite after school snack." She looks at her sister just waving her finger in the air with an expressionless face, " Luna, what's wrong?" Mirage asks.
Luna turns to her sister with the same expressionless face," Nothings wrong besides being grounded this bad. Once the point of him having us if he ain't going to let us achieve our dreams.?"
" You goof, we can't just think about us, father has a lot on his plate at the moment. When you're the Commander in Chief for Earth Branch, there's a lot more to worry about."
" Why have kids than, with a position like that. Mom would have been happier with someone who had more time for their own kids?"
Mirage was shocked at the statement, she knew her sister wasn't joking, for the past few years, Luna has become this depressed looking child. Mirage remembers when she was happy and bubbly all the time. " You shouldn't say something like that. Mom is happy with father. I was a little upset by it too, but I understood that he wanted to take it for us. You weren't born yet so you wouldn't understand, but think about everything that's been given to you because of this position he has."
It wasn't that Luna didn't want to understand, its that she couldn't. Because the thing she wanted to understand the most is her existence. Ever since she can remember at a very young age she was different from the other children. She didn't know how different until she got into the third grade. This was the first time she attended a school, the other kids and parents looked at her family like they were weird, only she noticed these confused glares. Her first day was terrible, she tried talking to the other students, but they avoided her. She was fine with that, cause they didn't bully her, she knew at the command base she had friends to talk to.
What started her depression was the fifth week she was in school and there was some boys and girls abusing a poor puppy. It was injured greatly and wasn't likely to live, but without thinking without knowing she pushed the others out the way and put both hands on the puppy and its wounds started to heal and it got up just fine.
From this the other kids saw her as a freak and the bullying started. Even to this day she hasn't told anyone about the situation.
" Mirage. What's the point of existing when you can't follow your dreams? Or when people around you don't see you as normal?"
" Where is this coming from, Luna?" Mirage asks.
" Oh nothing, I want to be left alone now. Is that fine?"
" Sure Luna, anything that makes you happy." Mirage gets up and leaves the cell. She turns to look back at her sister before completely leaving out.
Luna looked at the air, looking for… what was she looking for? Was it a purpose to make her existence feel like something? " There's nothing in this world that'll make me happy. Not even being a power ranger doesn't seem to fulfil my existence."
In the command center that has now been combined as the center for the supreme commander and earth base's delta force sit Sky, who is now the earth branch's commander and Anubis Cruger who is the supreme commander now moved to earth. Kat is working with Bridge on the new technology for the base's defenses. Syd teaching her son to control his powers that he inherited from her and Sky, Z is listening to music with her and Bridge's son, Jack and Alley came to visit their son to see how he was liking being part of B-Squad, and Mirage Cruger's daughter from his previous marriage is sitting with her father discussing about some mechanics she studied on for the megazord.
Syd got up from her spot and walked to Commander Cruger's spot, " So Mirage after what happened the other day will you be taking position of the yellow ranger? The team has been without one for so long, since the last two girls quit."
" I'm not the ranger type, but it's really up to my father." Mirage replies. " To be honest Mirage you might have to. Just recently there have been invasions on other planets from some ruler. He has destroy many more than what Grumm did years ago." Cruger spoke up.
Z got to her feet and walked towards him like everyone else did, " Wait, you're saying there's someone out there like Grumm?"
" Yes there is Mrs. Carson. I don't know who it might be, but we have to send someone out there to investigate."
" We can go, I mean, it's been a long time since we fought something this big." Says Bridge. " Anyone else thinks we should go?"
" Why not?" Says Syd.
" Sure. Sky it's your call." Says Z.
" Well, I approve of your departure. You leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow. And B-Squad be on your guard, we don't know if they have access to earth at the moment." Approved Sky.
Everyone walked out to prepare and the question about this is who will be the pink ranger if there were a possible attack.
Mirage takes some food for her sister, but she doesn't stay to talk as her sister doesn't look or speak to her. Mirage doesn't know what goes in her head, wishing she would open up to her.
In the mist of everyone at SPD are sleeping, there was a huge earthquake followed by an explosion. Kat, Cruger and Sky run to the command center to check the satellites. There were two megazords walking in sector D, Sky called both A and B- Squad to handle the situation. They all transformed and headed to their vehicles. B- Squad used their vehicles to corner the enemy, while A- Squad transformed to fight. It was good 20 mins and they were getting whooped. The earthquakes were getting more intense, Luna knew they weren't going to win with just one megazord. She went to the cell door and without thinking she closed her eyes and in an instant was able to create a spiritual version of herself to open the door and she ran out.
She went to her mother's lab to grab the morpher, she transformed at that moment and ran to the command center. Cruger, Sky, and Kat heard the doors open and before they can catch Luna she was already down the shoot to the pink ranger vehicle.
" Mirage, I'm here to assist. We have to form the megazord in order to defeat them." Luna said through the communicator.
" You know father isn't gonna like this sis," Mirage replied.
" I don't, you know you're in big trouble young lady?" Cruger barked through the communicator.
" At the moment, I don't care. So please don't distract me, we have some criminals to fight." With that Luna cut off the communicator link to the base, and the team begins to form the megazord.
