"Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity"
~FBI Motto
Tommy
Tommy glanced up at the apartment complex, it would do. The Bureau had sent him to Angel Grove to head up a team even though he was not the most experienced officer; he was the most experienced with aliens.
He had his team, consisting of snipers, spread out throughout the city. They had all been warned to aim for the neck or under the arm, where there were gaps in the armor. Otherwise, the bullets would just ricochet.
They were under radio silence so after departing from each other he had no further contact with his team and was now on his own. But he had faith in his team and had briefed them as best he could on their enemy which was probably better than anyone else could have done aside from the current Power Ranger team.
The former leader of the Power Rangers shook his head, wondering how it could have gotten so bad and if things would have been different if he had never stepped down and left the team.
He knocked on the door of the apartment he wanted to set up camp in, "FBI open up!"
When he received no answer, he kicked the door in and surveyed the place. It looked like the previous occupants had left in a rush, he only hoped they had left of their own accord.
Making his way to the window that overlooked the city he set up his assault rifle. He was better at sword fighting and hand to hand combat, but had been a quick study and in no time became one of the Bureaus best sharpshooters.
Tommy spied a group of Quantrons headed down the street below and began firing upon them. One by one they fell as he never missed a target. They fell so fast that there had been no return fire.
He shot down another group that had been running towards civilians trying to flee the city for safety.
One group scattered as gunfire rained down upon them. They frantically looked around for the shooter but could not pinpoint the source before they were all dead on the ground, their bodies sparking.
He was a bit more used to confronting the enemy head on, but this seemed to be a pretty effective tactic too. There was a pause in his massacre as he grabbed some more ammunition from his bag and reloaded his gun.
"Wha…" when he looked back through his scope, his vision was filled with the stars and stripes of the American flag.
He quickly pulled his head back up and knocked the gun aside as a body came crashing through the window, barreling into him.
"Ompf," he coughed as the air was knocked right out of him.
"Sorry," the person rolled off of him and began to detach their parachute.
Tommy gasped once the helmet was removed, "Kim?"
The woman quickly looked up as she heard her name, "Tommy?"
"You cut your hair."
The two burst into laughter, only Kim would take notice of his hair in the middle of a war zone.
He reached down to help her up, but as soon as she was on her feet she groaned and sank back to the ground.
"Are you alright?"
"My ankle…" Kim took off her flight suit as Tommy rummaged through the bathroom for a first aid kit.
Lifting up her ankle he examined it, "Just a sprain, probably from when you crashed into me."
"It's not like I planned my landing," Kim chuckled if she had, it would not have been him, but on the other hand he was probably the best person to be with in this situation. She then winced as Tommy began to tightly wrap her ankle.
Once he finished the two sat there awkwardly staring at anything but each other.
"So…," Kim began but was then cut off by a commotion in the hallway.
"Shit," Tommy flipped the couch and slid behind it as Quantrons burst into the room guns blazing. He picked up his rifle and returned fire.
"Here," Tommy handed Kim his handgun.
After a while of receiving no help, he shot a glance at Kim and saw her pulling the trigger but with no results.
"You have to undo the safety first," he smirked.
"Hehe, right I knew that," she rolled her eyes, why would she know that, it's not like their power blasters had safeties back in the day.
She began to fire and as soon as she adjusted to the recoil became a very good shot. It was similar to shooting an arrow and after all her years of practice with that, it was like riding a bike.
"Time to go," Tommy noticed that the Quantrons were closing in and he didn't feel like being cornered in the apartment.
"Go where?" but Tommy didn't answer as he fired and dove for the window. Slipping outside he clung to the brick wall and scurried over to the fire escape.
Kim dropped her now empty gun and followed after him, trusting him to lead her just like he had in high school.
"Tommy!" Kim shouted for help as a Quantron from the next window over had a hold of her leg and she began to lose her balance.
Tommy swung his rifle through the window, knocking the Quantron back into the room, "I got ya." He had quickly reached out and caught Kim's arm as she was falling.
Kim looked down, not particularly liking the fact that she was hanging several feet above the ground, and the only thing saving her from certain doom was the tight grip of the man that she had dumped through a letter sent to the Youth Center had on her arm.
"Alright, I'm going to swing you towards the ladder, grab on ok?"
"Got it," she nodded and when she was close enough grabbed on to the rungs of the ladder below Tommy's feet.
They made their descent and Kim breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the ground.
"Ah," she winced as the landing jarred her injured ankle.
Without a word Tommy wrapped his arm around her waist and began helping her along as they fled from the Quantrons racing down to meet them. One had actually fallen out the window in their hurry to get to them.
They raced through the streets of Angel Grove, trying to find shelter where they could regroup. On several occasions, Kim had tried to convince Tommy to leave her since she was just holding him back. Without her extra weight he would be able to escape for sure. However he wouldn't have it, it wasn't in him to leave a teammate behind.
The former Power Rangers hadn't realized how close they were to the holding area so when the blasts from nearby Quantrons threw them through a stack of tires, there was no more running.
