Part 2
Back at S.P.D. HQ…
Training had just finished. Sydney was in her room. She and Z, The S.P.D. Yellow Ranger, had recently become roommates. But they were getting along well enough to not kill each other. The Pink Ranger was reading a book, laying down on her bed. Z crept up to her, and snatched her book away quickly.
"Whatcha reading here?" Z teased, flipping through the pages, not really reading.
"Give it, street trash." Syd snapped, swiping her book back. She was obviously in a very focused train of thought, and Z only broke that.

"That's not true. Just go and ask him." Z said. "The worst he can do is just not talk to you for a few days."
Syd stood up. "I hope you're right, girl." She answered. With a sigh, she walked out of the room. But as soon as the door closed behind her, a dark claw-like hand snatched her from out of nowhere, and pulled her through a portal…
