Chapter 8
"I can't take this anymore!" Skull exclaimed one day. "If Bulk carry on whit this any longer I will go crazy! Finding the Power Rangers true identities is all he has in his head, I can't stand it anymore!" Skull had succeeded to find Tommy and Billy outside the school. He had told Bulk that he needed to go to the toilet and sneaked out through the window.
"We know that Bulk doesn't think of anything else." Billy explained for certainly the thousandth time. "But you have to stand out, I'm sure Zordon had a reason to give you this power."
"All of us have made it this far!" Tommy smiled trying to comfort Skull.
"Yes, but the rest of you don't have to be with him all the time to prevent him from being suspicious."
Billy and Tommy looked at each other for a long time. Skull was right, no one took a bigger risk then Skull.
"Besides, what if I'm out looking for… us. When you need me?"
"Then you have to sneak away like you did this time!" Billy replied, he actually tried to sound comforting but it's not easy to comfort someone who has ganged up on you as long as you can remember. Even if Skull had apologized. And then it was the fact that he had to continue this even in the future, to prevent that Bulk found out anything. Billy began to look down on the ground as he walked. He couldn't find anything that had been better after Skull became a member of the Power Rangers. They only risked their identities even faster.
"Speaking of Bulk, here he comes!" Tommy suddenly told them and pointed him out. Billy and Skull looked in the direction Tommy pointed at. He was right.
"It doesn't seem as he have seen us yet." Billy said thinking. "I have an idea, he have definitely noticed that you're not in the toilets anymore so there is no point to deny that…"
…
Bulk came walking towards the forest, he had discovered that Skull wasn't in the toilet just as Billy had suspected. But on the other hand he hadn't made the conclusion that he had sneaked out, and he hadn't either seen him in the forest with Billy and Tommy. He walked towards the forest because of one reason, it was the only place he hadn't looked in yet.
Suddenly he saw them. The Blue and Green Ranger and they was carrying Skull between them from the forest, Skull seemed very shocked. Before Bulk had reached them both of the Rangers' had disappeared.
"What happened?" An excited Bulk asked.
"Rita kidnapped be, that's all!" Skull said with a smile like nothing had really happened.
"And those two? Did you find out who they are?"
"No!"
"But couldn't you have pulled their helmets off or something!" Bulk roared, he seemed very upset now.
"No, I was drugged, but I'm okay now!" Skull said and got on his feet.
"Okay, but it's time to continue, I have a totally infallible plan" Skull moaned, this finding-the-Power-Rangers thing was just a waste of time for him now.
When they were back in school they met Billy again. He was beside his locker and was taking out and putting in things, and Bulk walked straight up to him. Great…
"Hi, we want to find the Power Rangers, today, and we need your help!" Billy looked up and caught sight of them, and noticed that they actually meant him, this was insane.
"Bulk have you ever heard the expression, forget it?" Billy asked and turned to his locker again. But Bulk wasn't about to let him go by that. He grabbed him, pressed him against the locker and then placed his fist against his eye. Skull turned away, he knew he had to pretend that everything was normal, there was absolutely nothing he could do for Billy, except for hoping that he would agree to help them.
"Sorry but I have more important things to do!" Billy insisted. That was it, Skull thought. He still kept his eyes away until he heard the thud, first then he turned back his head. Billy was sitting on the floor with his arms over his head. He would receive a big bruise on his temple for that punch.
Bulk lifted him up on his feet again and forced him into the locker and locked him in.
"You will sit there until you decide to cooperate." He shouted through the locker's door. Billy moaned and pressed his hand on his head again to get rid of the pounding headache, he didn't feel very well, he wanted to be sick.
…
The entire corridor was empty, it was late on the afternoon so almost everyone was outside in the sun.
Skull had finally got enough.
"Bulk, this is enough. I don't want to find the Power Rangers anymore." Bulk just stared at him. Skull left the corridor, then Bulk got angry and began to follow him.
"Do
you mean you want to quit after all you have seen?!"
"Yes!"
Skull continued walking.
"So you don't care, you think nothing matter?!" That was it, Skull couldn't take more. In that moment something happened in his head that made him mad, like if he had hit his head or something. And he held his Power morpher towards the sky and before he could stop himself he had done it.
"Velociraptor!"
He had been the Grey Ranger, in front of Bulk.
