As the sirian was trying his best to answer all of my questions, in space, after having an extremely long discussion with Broodwing, Emperor Gruumm walks into Mora's room. "Mora, I need you to create a monster that the rangers have never seen before. This monster needs to be stronger than all the other ones." he said with an evil grin on his face. Looking at the monsters that were already created, Mora started thinking and finally came up with the perfect monster. "I might have something that could help." said Mora as she started drawing the monster for Gruumm. "Something that will defeat them once and for all." He told her and Mora was already off, drawing the monster that the rangers have never seen before. Soon after she was finished drawing her latest creation, the monster appeared right before their eyes and Gruumm took one good look at it. "This monster looks very promising, Mora." He said.
On earth, I was hanging out in the command center looking at one of the monitors, searching for unknown activity in any of the sectors of the city as both the commander and Kat walked in. Knowing that the truth shouldn't be kept hidden from me anymore about why Gruumm is after me, I turned to leave the command center, hoping to start working on one of my personal projects would put my mind at ease. "Maybe I should get started on a project. I'm getting bored from staring at this screen." I mumbled to myself. I was almost out of the command center when I felt a strong hand grabbing me by my shoulder, preventing me from exiting. I looked up to see that the hand belonged to Cruger. "You're not finished yet with your shift in the command center, Cadet. There is more work to be done." He said and I went back to the computer to continue scanning for activity.
While I was continuing to scan for activity in the city, I heard them behind me, talking in very hushed voices. "We have to tell my daughter about why Gruumm is after her. She needs to know everything about her past, Doggie. We both know very well that we can't just keep it a secret from her and the rangers forever." Kat whispered as quietly as she could, quickly glancing over towards me. "I agree, Kat. Have the rangers come down here once they have finished patrolling the city. They need to know everything about her past as much as she does." said Cruger and Kat started to leave.
Just before she had finally reached the doors, something on the monitor lit up when I took off one of the filters. "Um, Commander Cruger…sir? There's something you need to see and by the looks of it, I don't think that it's good." I said as I turned and pointed to the screen. "What do you think it is, Doggie?" Kat asked the commander as they came up behind me. "I bet that it's one of Gruumm's monsters trying to lure Olivia out of the academy. Send the rangers to that location and tell them that I will meet them there." replied Cruger and he suited up in the command center.
"Rangers, there's a monster in the city. Olivia is sending you the location. Cruger will join you there." said Kat. After sending the coordinates of where the monster was attacking to the rangers, I started to watch the fight on the monitor and it was not going very well from what I was seeing. As they were fighting the monster, I couldn't help but have this gut feeling that they were not going to win this battle. I winced as they were getting their morphers kicked. They were giving that monster all they had and was sadly defeated.
Cruger said that they should head back to base and regroup. As they returned back to base, I looked at the commander with a troubled look on my face as he walked in to the command center and I ran up to hug him. "I recognized that exact same look that you have. Sometimes your mother would give me that look whenever she had a hard time with something." He said, returning the hug.
"Sir, I'm curious about something and I need to know. Can you tell me why Gruumm is after me?" I said as I turned back to face my station.
"I understand that you need to hear the truth, Olivia but right now at the moment, it's for your own safety that you don't know everything right now." He said and left the command center.
Seeing as though he was lying to my face again, I went back to watching the monitor and doing what needed to be done. After my shift in the command center had ended, I started heading to my room. "I wonder if I should start considering other options in my life that doesn't always have to deal with science. Maybe I should start looking into going to military school. That should work out for me." I mused to myself, thinking out loud. As I started passing the rec room, I started thinking about what the commander was really hiding from me and before long I heard a male voice calling to me.
"Hey Olivia, wait up." When I turned to see who, Jack was jogging up behind me.
"Yes sir? Did I do something wrong when I was in the command center, sir? I can go back and make corrections." I asked as I saluted him.
"No, there's nothing you with did wrong in the command center. I'm just passing along a message that Kat looking for you. She said that she needs help in her lab testing one of your projects or something like that." Jack said.
"Yes, sir. I'll head there right now sir." I said, saluted and then started to take the quickest route towards the lab. When I was getting closer to the lab, my mind kept going back to thinking about Cruger, wondering if he will ever tell me the reason why Gruumm is after me. When I arrived to Kat's lab, I noticed that Kat was at her desk, working on one of my personal projects. As I walked into the lab, she looked up at me. "Is there something wrong with one of my projects, ma'am?" I asked, feeling as though I was in trouble.
