Disclaimer: Well, Hell was still burning hot last time I checked, so the Power Rangers are still not mine.
Author's Notes: Hi, and welcome back! If you read the last chapter, then you know what happened. Anyway, I just wanted to say one thing: I will end the Z/Cruger spell quick and fast, because it weirds even me out. So on with the show!

Crazy Love
Chapter 2: Help Us
The Rangers managed to drag the people in holding into the command center. Kat was shaking her head, and all of the Rangers sat at the table.
Bridge was rubbing Sky's back, while a smiling Syd was leaning on Jack's side at the other end of the table. Meanwhile, Z was having trouble trying to push Cruger away from her, who was still trying to sniff her. Kat glared at Cruger, grabbed a glass of water that was on the table, and threw it in his face.
A split second later, he was shaking the water out of his face. He began looking around, unsure of how he got there.
"What happened, Kat?" he asked, and Z gave sigh of relief.
"Welcome back, sir," said Kat, then pressed a few buttons at the middle of the table. An image of Cupid-O appeared. "I examined the battle you guys had and found this creature in trees. He shot what looked like arrows -- well, love arrows -- at you guys."
Sky raised his hand. Apparently, Bridge didn't hear a word Kat had said because he had been busy rubbing Sky's lower back.
"Could splashing water be the answer?" Sky asked, hoping she would concur.
Kat shook her head. "It worked on Cruger because he's canine, and a dog hit with water basically tells them that they're a bad dog."
Cruger glared at her for a second. Apparently, Syd wasn't listening to her either, and was too busy trying to kiss Jack on his check. Cruger then said the worse thing possible.
"Until we know anything else, you guys can have the rest of the day off. Dismissed."
"NOOOO!" both Jack and Sky cried.
"You can't do this to us, sir," Sky protested.
Jack was about to interject, when he felt something hard squeezed his arm. He glanced down and noticed that Syd had an iron-fist grip on him.
"Come on, Jack. Let's find a quiet spot to be alone… for a very long time," she said this with a wicked smile, then dragged him out of the room.
Bridge finished giving Sky the backrub, then placed his head on Sky's shoulder and said, "Lets go find a little spot of our own." Sky jumped out of his seat and suddenly ran out of the room. "I love it when he plays hard-to-get." He removed his glove and left the room after Sky.
"Why did I have to forget to buy film for my camera? This is a serious Kodak moment," Z said, showing a big smile on her face. Cruger shook his head.
"Z, this isn't funny. The Rangers are in serious trouble."
Z thought for a moment. 'Well, Sky is if Bridge catches him. Jack is already in trouble--'
Cruger cut into her thoughts. "I want you and Sam to return to the scene to see what you can find." Z gave a nod and left the room. He then turned to Kat. "I want you to look over the video and find out anything you can that would help."
Kat nodded, said, "On it, sir," and then left the room.
Cruger sat in his chair and covered his eyes with his hands. "I can't believe what I did with Z," he said to himself, his face turning red.

"Jack, we're here," Syd announced proudly after she had pulled him into the room she and Z share.
Jack looked around the room, trying to see if there was anything there to worry about. To his relief, nothing was around that would seem to cause him worry. Until he felt himself being thrown.
Jack screamed as he hit Syd's bed. Syd only smiled and jumped on top of him, looking deep into his eyes, and Jack didn't really know what to do. Sure, he had a crush on Syd, but this definitely wasn't the time to tell her.
"So baby, here we are," she cooed, causing Jack to grow worried.
"Yes, here we are…."
Syd gave a small laugh and kissed Jack on his lips. Jack wanted to fight back, but a better thought came to mind; he turned the kiss. Hey, he might as well enjoy it.

Sky was running down the hallway, needing to get as far away from Bridge as possible. Better yet, he needed a place to hide.
Sky stopped and looked around, searching for a minute, and found the perfect place. He ran into a nearby room -- and just in time, too. Suddenly, he heard a voice in the distance.
"Sky, baby, where are you, honey bunny?" Bridge asked sweetly as he waved his hand to find his energy.
Sky took a deep breath and wiped his forehead, then got the shock of his life. He didn't run into just any room, he ran into Bridge's lab.
"Shit," Sky cursed in a whisper.
He had gone to leave the room when the door suddenly opened behind him. Surprisingly enough, Bridge was standing there with a big smile on his face.
"Oh, how sweet. You weren't hiding from me, were you?"
Sky didn't have an answer for this as he was backing away from Bridge, who was moving closer and closer and put his glove back on his hand.
"You wanted to surprise me by coming to my lab so we can be alone!"
Sky was getting scared now, and Bridge grabbed something from his desk.
"Bridge, can we talk about this before anything happens we both will regret?"
Suddenly, Bridge had jumped at Sky, and they both landed on the bed in the corner. Bridge had a grin on his face and took the rope that he had grabbed from his desk. Taking both of Sky's hands, he crossed them over his back, tied them together, and flipped Sky on his back. Sky tried to free himself, but it was no use.
Bridge smiled and said, "As much as I love thrill of the hunt," he began to run his hand through Sky's hair, "the ability to keep what I caught as a trophy is even better." He then planted a kiss on Sky's lips.
Sky tried to kick Bridge off, but to no avail. After about a second, Bridge lifted his head and got off of Sky. Bridge reached under his bed and pulled some more rope from underneath, then tied Sky's legs together.
Bridge stood up and said, "I'll be back in a few minutes, but first…."
Bridge reached behind him and grabbed a roll of tape. He ripped a large piece and placed it over Sky's mouth. Sky tried to shout, but it was no good. Bridge stood up, blew him a kiss, and left the room. Again, Sky continued struggling in vain, not wanting to be there when he got back.
--------------
Z and Sam were at the cafe that they were at earlier that day.
"Where did it first happen?" Sam asked. Z pointed to where Bridge was standing, and Sam walked over there to look around.
"He could have shot the love arrows from over there," he said, pointing to some trees.
"True. The krybots could have been a distraction to keep us from the real plan to shoot his love arrows."
Suddenly, a high-pitched laughter was heard. They both turned and noticed Cupid-O standing there.
"Those aren't love arrows I shot at them." His laughing continued, and Sam and Z looked at each other.
"What do you mean?" he asked cautiously.
"They were obsession arrows, and after a period of time, they will become so full of love for the person they saw that they will become enraged to think of them with someone else. In other words, they will eventually kill their lover so no one else can have them."
Z and Sam looked at each other, both thinking that they needed to report this to base, but Cupid-O threw an Orange Head ball and six Orange Heads came out.
"You're not going anywhere. Attack!" he shouted.
Z pulled out her morpher and transformed into the Yellow Ranger.
Whatever they were going to do, they needed to do it fast because if they didn't get back to the base soon, Sky and Jack could be killed. Hell, they didn't have time to call the base if they had to fight Orange Heads and a monster. Boy, this is definitely a turn from bad to worse.

I have a twisted sense of humor, don't I? Well, I hope you enjoyed it. Oh, I know the way I snapped Cruger out of it was kind of weak, but I didn't want to write a Cruger/Z chase first.
Please review, and feel free to flame if you want. The next chapter is coming out soon.
