Chapter 7

Jack paced the front of the technology room impatiently waiting for Bridge to finish with the project. He could hear the buzzing of metallic machines and chemical explosions through the walls and wanted ever so badly to inspect on his teammate. His pacing was soon interrupted by an extremely irritated Sky who was making his way down the hall. Jack quickly put his hand up signaling for the Blue Ranger to stop.

"What is going on in there? I can barely concentrate on my reading!" Sky said pointing towards the lab door.

"Um…Bridge is in there. Need I say more?" With those simple words, Sky had been defeated all to quickly.

"Well tell him to keep it down." Jack smiled and watched as Sky made his way back to his room. As soon as he was sure his teammate was out of sight he tuned and pounded on the lab door. A very disgruntled Bride quickly answered.

"Jack, I swear I'm almost done, I just need to…"

"That's okay. I just wanted to say that I was heading down to the hospital to check on Z. I'll be back around…seven-ish." The Green Ranger gave him an affirmative nod and headed back into the lab slamming the door behind him.

As the sun fell, Valdix quickly entered the warehouse of New Blue Bay. The sun shined hard through the glass windows on the ceiling. He made his way over to the left wall and moved a couple of crated over revealing a square platform and a scanning device. He removed his helmet and allowed the blue marble to scan his face. The platform below him quickly opened sending him into darkness. As he raised his head he noticed many pairs of glowing red eyes surrounding him. They all looked as if they were ready to pounce. He slowly rose from the ground and got in his battle position.

"I don't know how you freaks got into here, but I'll be sure you find your way out, dear or alive." He brought both of his hands back and began summoning energy.

"You're still are hot head I see." The voice startled him. He automatically knew who it was. It was the only person who could startle him: his farther. That lights quickly lit up in the room revealing a large navy-colored room. About twenty Grylock foot soldiers surrounded the perimeter of the room, all of them looking very hostile. Valdix quickly turned his attention to his very burly father, who sat in one of the fine sofas. The Grylock mob leader looked upon his moreover human son, not looking the least bit happy.

"Father. I see you've found my place. How did you find me, in fact?" The armored one said crossing his arms. The huge Grylock pounded the table in front of him, shattering it instantly. Valdix locked his jaw.

"Don't you dare question me, boy! I do what I do because I can!" Valdix stood quiet in his father's rage.

"I apologize."

"Don't start the apologies just yet. Now what's this I hear of you forming an alliance with that scum Grumm?" Valdix put on his trademark grin.

"I see you've heard. Is that the reason you've bombarded my place with these crap-asses you call 'soldiers'?" The soldiers let out a hiss of anger. He grinned at them giving them the finger.

"You incompetent fool! Grumm is our enemy! If he knew any of our secrets, he could take us down for good!"

"To you, everyone is our enemy! The only reason I'm teaming with Grumm is for the money! You, of all people, should know that! And as soon as I take down those weakling Ranger, I'll take down Grumm and take over the earth."

"Do you really think I believe you? This is just one of your insane schemes to do something you know you're not capable of!" The room fell silent. Valdix turned his back on his father and began walking away. The Grylock quickly rose from his seat and attacked his son, throwing him across the room into a few soldiers.

Jack walked towards the hospital visiting counter and approached a frog-looking woman.

"Hi. May I help you?"

"Yes, I'm here to see an Elizabeth Delgado" The frog woman began searching the computer files and raised her glasses when Z's file came up.

"You must be Jack Landors." He nodded in recognition. "Well I have some good news for you. Your girlfriend finally woke up." Jack's eyes lighted up and a huge smile came across his face.

"Well, can I go see her?"

"Of coarse!" Jack quickly made his way to the transporter and busted into Z's room, finding her watching TV and enjoying her dinner. Z turned to the door and smiled when she noticed who was standing in the doorway. Jack slowly made his way over to his friend as tears ran down her face. He took a seat, not letting go of her hand.

"So…"

"So..?" Z said laughing at Jack's nervousness.

"I…I don't know what to say!"

"Let's try 'How are you Z?' and 'How was coma?'" They both laughed and soon the room grew quiet as Jack admired her. He began rubbing her hand and looked down at the ground.

"I thought I lost you. I'm…I'm so pissed at myself for not being able to do anything. I'm the leader. I should have taken that shot." Z brushed his hair back with her free hand, forcing his head up.

"But you didn't. Look, sometimes thing happen for a reason. Look at us. We were criminals, but now we're Power Ranger. It all happened for a reason." Jack grinned. Z always had a way of making thing make sense. It was the reason he liked her. It was the reason he loved her.

"Z,…uh, when you were in coma, it made me realize how much I needed you to be by me. And I…I…man this is really hard." He said laughing a bit. Z leaned over and gently kissed him on his forehead, and as she leaned back, she gazed into his brown eyes, stopping everything in her body but her heart. They both leaned forward, closing their eyes, gently kissing each other.
