Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Characters from Power Rangers SPD or Lightspeed Rescue. I tried to stay true to their characters but tweaked them a little to make this my story. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to review! This chapter will happen in two parts.
Chapter 19a: Calling Ryan and a talk to Cruger Part 1
After Syd told them about the Curse, she and Doggie went back to the Academy and had the Cobra checked. The Cobra puzzled both Kat and Doggie granted they had both heard about this from the ranger history books. When they were done, Syd was able to get in touch with Ryan.
"Hello, Kelsey speaking."
"Hey, Aunt Kelsey, this is Syd, what are you doing at my uncle's apartment."
"I was helping your uncle fill out some paperwork that I need him to do."
"Could you get him, please? I have a status DiaCob911-411 on my hands; he will know what that means."
"Sure, hun, hang on."
Kelsey carried the phone to where Ryan was looking something up in his office.
"Ryan, it is Syd. She told me to tell you that she had a DiaCob911-411 on her hands. Do you know what that means?"
"Yes"
"Can you tell me what that means?"
"No"
"Why?"
"Because this is between me and my niece and because you will tell Carter and Dana."
"I am her aunt"
"No, and actually she does know that only she and I are related, but she still calls you that and I will never tell you what it means because if she would have called her parents if she had wanted them to know or anyone else for that matter, but no she called me, and if she only wants me to talk to than that is the way it shall be"
Kelsey gave Ryan the phone and told him to call her later to finish.
"Hey kiddo"
"Hi"
"First of All, Diabolico is dead. What happened is the question that I should ask correction going to ask."
"Could you just come to the Academy?"
"Sure"
When Ryan got to the Academy, since he forgot how to get to the Common Room he asked the first person that he saw instead of having his niece paged. He saw a young man in red talking to another cadet and so when the cadet was done he decided to just ask him.
"Excuse me?"
"Yes, sir?"
"Do you know a Sydney Drew or Grayson?"
"Yes, sir, I should hope so, she is my girlfriend and my teammate"
"Oh well then, I am her uncle Ryan, she is expecting me, could you tell me or possibly show me how to get to your common room"
"I sure can, I am Sky, by the way"
When Sky and Ryan got to the Common Room, they saw Z reading a book, while they saw Syd curled up on the couch.
"Hey Z"
Z put a finger to her lips and acknowledged Sky and Ryan and then pointed first to the floor and then to the couch.
"She sat down and was out like a light"
Both Ryan and Sky knew what might be going on, but Sky was the first to say anything.
"I bet she did, she hasn't slept real well for the past few nights, she can't really sleep unless she knows where one of us is or Cruger is around and can easily be called. I think it has gotten worse because I think that knowing that some of the more close to home monsters are back is draining some energy that she has so very little of"
"Poor Syd, Oh, and Sky, I think that also knowing the monster that took you and Jack from us is hurting our pink princess as well."
Sky's temper bubbled because of what Z had called Syd, but then it went down again knowing that it wasn't meant in the princess kind of way because that was another kick name that only Z really used. Ryan knew that he would have to wake her so he could talk to her.
"Syddie, Uncle Ryan is here. Wake up Sleeping Beauty"
ALL B-SQUAD REPORT TO COMMAND CENTRAL
"Okay, now that Syd is up all we need is Bridge and so everyone plug your ears"
Z looked at Sky like he was nuts and asked "Why Sky?"
"Just do it Z, you'll be thankful when I do this"
"Do what?"
"BRIDGE!!"
Sky waved to Syd, Ryan and Z after he did.
"Sky, why did you scream at bridge?"
"Bridge wears earplugs to sleep; he started in D-squad. We had some talkers, he now carries them in his morpher, and puts them in, but lately he can sleep through almost anything."
Everyone went to Command Central afterwards.
"Rangers, we have determined that we need to update morphers and weapons. Plus, now according to high command we need to have speakers for health reasons and who will know almost everything there is to know about you, and your whereabouts, as well as now as your most common sparring partner and patrol partner and shift partner. According to High Command, the speakers will also know if you are in serious trouble medical trouble what are your wishes and if you want to be taken off life support, as well as blood type. Your speaker/partners are as follows:
Sky and Syd
Bridge and Z
Thank you rangers that is all. You will have to speak with your families on what they wish as well as what you want."
After Cruger had dismissed them, Sky left to go to his rook and rest while Z and Bridge went to get something to eat. Ryan and Syd went with Anubis to talk about Syd's situation in private. Once they were in Anubis's office, Ryan asked the question that he was most wondering about.
"First how is Diabolico back?"
"We think it happened the same way as he came back the last time. However his containment file was missing and I think that it may have something to do with that."
"Okay, well first thing I think I need to see the tattoo to know how fast we need to figure that out."
When Ryan saw it, he gasped. It was much bigger than his had been and much further up.
"Syd, have you morphed since getting it?"
"No…, I got it while I was morphed"
"Anubis, can I talk to you?"
"Sure, Sydney could you go outside for a moment."
"Yes, Sir"
Sydney left feeling more scared than when she had gone into the office.
"Anubis, mine was not that big, and not that far up. It is the same cobra though. We need to teach her better hand to hand combat then she knows now. I had a hard time and I think that Syd will have a worse time. I know she can handle it, but I don't know how long we have, since it might be a different curse than mine, I sure hope not. I didn't want Sydney to know that I am afraid for her, however she is my little princess and I will protect or teach her to protect herself with everything I know how to."
"She is a magnificent ranger and I have no doubt that this will make her stronger. I will help you train her."
They brought Syd back in and began to tell her how it may be different but they thought that they knew how to get rid of it.
