Chapter 2
Valdix arose from the crate as the van approached. He walked over slowly to a green button on the side of the warehouse garage. He gave it a tap and the garage slowly rose. The van pulled in and parked in the middle. About eight men got out. All of them very built and muscular except for one whom was the smallest of the eight. Valdix immediately noticed the small one's right hand, which was gloved and had something attached to it. The small one motioned for the other seven to unload as he walked towards Valdix. He put on his grin.
"Aren't we a bit late?" Valdix mocked.
"I'm not here to play games Val. Now do you gots our stuff or what?" Valdix turned and pointed to a load of bags behind him.
"I don't play games when it comes to business. I thought you knew me better than that Hex?" Hex shook his head and turned to check on his men when two colorful figures came from behind the wall.
"S.P.D police squad, put your hands up, now! You are under arrest!" Sky yelled aiming his blaster. One of the thugs soon pulled out a laser of their own and began firing. Hex and Valdix began dashing for the back exit when three more colorful figures appeared, obviously being the rest of the force. Jack, Z, and Bridge aimed at the two. Jack smiled behind his helmet.
"Did you really think we weren't gonna have the back covered?" Jack asked, obviously rubbing it in on the two. He noticed a smile come across Valdix's face. He put his hands down and began walking towards the rangers.
"Put them back up!" Z yelled. He continued.
"The S.P.D force. This is the first time they've sicked you puppies on me." He laughed. Jack shook his head.
"Fire!" Valdix swiftly dogged the lasers causing all of them to hit Hex, killing him instantly. He jumped in the air landing in Bridge's face, giving him a swift elbow in the visor of his helmet, and sending him to the floor. Jack and Z quickly attacked by both trying a round kick to his head. He quickly grabbed Jack's leg and blocked Z's own kick with it. He then used Jack's own momentum against him and sent him into Z.
Sky and Sydney were making quick work of the thugs with two of them four of them already on the ground unconscious leaving three left. The two stood back to back waiting for one of the thugs to make a move. The bald one came rushing at sky and received the back of his fist followed by a kick to his abdomen knocking the air out of him. Sydney dodged a punch and grabbed one of the Grylock Diamonds from the pile.
"I summon the stone!" She yelled. Her hand quickly became a glimmering green. The thug began to step back. She threw her fist forward and released an excess amount of energy sending him to the ground.
Jack and the other continued to fight on with Valdix, who seemed to be untouchable. He was moving in blurs and it was hard to counter his hits. Valdix was growing tired of this game. He jumped back, putting some distance between him and the exhausted rangers. He turned his head to see the blue and pink rangers coming after him. He raised his hand and released an electric blast from his glove in their direction, blowing up the van and knocking both of them out, both demorphed.
Enraged, The other ranger began running towards Valdix; Bridge and Z had his arms while Jack grabbed him from the back. Valdix made no struggle. He just laughed.
"What the hell is so damn funny?" Jack yelled, obviously tired of his games.
"You guys are the closest any police team has come to capturing. I must say I am impressed."
"How do you know we're not about to arrest you now?"
"Because in, oh, say, five seconds, you'll all be off of me." The rangers began to feel sudden warmth running through. Then in that same moment they were all thrown off of him. Z, who rolled out of the fall, stood in battle stance.
"Let's see how you like this one." She waved her hands in front of her and four other "Z's" appeared. Valdix was amused.
"I'm sorry, but tricks are for KIDS!" He said in a rage as he thrust both of his hands forward striking each copy of Z, demorphing her.
Jack raised his head in horror as he watched Z fall to the ground. He attempted to reach out for her, but he was too weak. Blackness started to surround him. A maniacal laugh rang in his ears…

His eyes fluttered open. He sat up in bed and felt a sharp pain in his head. He touched the side, feeling a patch over a bruise. It took him a while to realize that he was in the S.P.D emergency recovery room. He looked around and caught the rising sun. Struggling, he got out of bed, noticing that he was in hospital pajamas. He shook his head and began walking towards the door. He opened it and was surprised to see Sky, Bridge, Sydney, and Commander Cruger in the waiting room, a look of sadness on all of their faces.
"Jack!" Bridge got up and walked over and hugged him.
"Ahh! Easy goes it Bridge." Bridge backed off giving Jack an innocent smile. Jack looked over to see that the rest of them were still in their positions. He nodded at Sky and Cruger and noticed Sydney had been crying. Something was very wrong. Z was missing. Jack quickly turned his attention to Cruger who stood up when he saw Jack's expression change. "What happened? Where is she?"
"Jack, before I tell you…" Cruger started
"Where happened to Z?" Jack's eyes were filling with tears.
"She…She's in a coma Jack. I'm sorry."
