Disclaimer: As I said so many times I don't own anything to do with power rangers so that means the lawyers sitting on my bed need to get the hell out of my house.

Broodwing's Plan

Chapter 5 – The truth is out

Bridge was back at Broodwing's hideout on one knee holding the Zeo Crystal over his head.

"For you master," he said.

Broodwing took it out of Bridge's hand and began to laugh. "You did good my faithful servant."

Bridge stood up with a smile on his face. "Thank you master. It's a great honor to serve you."

Broodwing patted Bridge on the shoulder and walked off to a round machine. He opened the lid and placed the Zeo Crystal in it.

"By nightfall tonight the world will be ours," he said and they both began to laugh.

The rangers were sitting in the command center. They had escaped the rock cage by morphing and using their Delta Max Strikers to blast their way out. Each ranger was lost in his or her own thoughts at what happen earlier.

"I can't believe Bridge betrayed us." Jack said breaking the uneasy quiet. Sky moved in his seat a little. He was feeling uneasy talking about this subject.

"I know what you mean Jack. I'm finding it hard to believe myself." Z said crossing her arms.

"Guys why are you jumping the gun? We don't know what happened to Bridge when Dru took him away." Syd said, not believing what Jack and Z were saying.

They both looked at her like she was crazy. "Syd, you saw what he did. What makes you think we still can trust him?"

Syd stood up, burning hot anger filling in her insides. "Listen to what I'm saying; me and Sky have known Bridge a lot longer than you guys have and there is something wrong, I know it," she shouted. Z and Jack were shocked beyond words.

"She's right." Sky spoke for the first time. Everyone looked at him.

"What are you saying Sky?" Jack asked.

Sky cleared his dry throat. "When I looked into his eyes they were blank with no feelings. That tells me there is something wrong with Bridge."

Z was about to say something but the door opened and Kat, Cruger, and Omega walked into the room.

"How are guys doing?" Jack asked. Cruger look tried.

"We're doing fine but let's put that aside for now. Kat has found something interesting."

Kat stepped forward, "I examined the footage from the battle between Bridge and these two…" She pointed at Omega and Cruger. "And I found something interesting." There was a moment of quiet.

"What did you find Kat?" Syd asked.

Kat walked over to a screen and pressed some buttons. A picture of Bridge out in the hallway with his right hand raised blasting Omega into the wall appeared on it. "I did a scan and found that his brain waves have changed."

Jack raised his hand. "What does that mean?" he asked.

Kat gave him a warm smile. "Glad you asked. That means that his physic powers and memory were changed. As a result Bridge is now an evil mad man with a great amount of power."

"I don't get one thing; how has his power increased so much to get a battlizer mode?" Cruger said as he took his seat.

"That is simple; his morpher was given an upgrade so he could use a form of a battlizer mode against us." Kat said turning off the screen. There was another long quiet pause.

"What do we do in the mean time?" Sky asked, relieved that Bridge wasn't a traitor.

Kat had an answer for this as well; "I can give one of you an upgrade on your S.W.A.T. mode." Everyone looked at her.

"What kind of upgrade?" Jack asked.

"The upgrade will increase the power of S.W.A.T. for only two minutes. That should give a person enough time to defeat Bridge and Broodwing," said Kat.

Jack stepped forward. "I'll do it," he said in his leader's voice.

Kat shook her head. "Sorry Jack, you have too much power in your morpher. If I put anymore in it you will die."

Jack stepped back. Sky stood up and said, "I will do it. He is my friend and I will be the one to kill him if need be." Everyone in the room looked at him.

Kat gave a nod of her head. "Alright Sky, give me your morpher and I will have it done within the hour." Sky grabbed his morpher and hand it to Kat. She then walked out of the room without saying another word.

Cruger looked at the rangers. "Until then we wait for Bridge and Broodwing to make their move. Dismissed."

The rangers saluted and left the room. The only thing they could now was wait for Bridge and Broodwing to act.

Two hours later at The New Tech Dunes…

Broodwing and Bridge were standing on top of the dunes with the machine next to them.

"So far so good. We have the Zeo crystal and its power will help us to rule the world." Broodwing then began to laugh.

Bridge looked at him. "How will this help us rule the world sir?" he asked, pointing at the round machine.

Broodwing looked at him for a long moment and said, "It's quite simple; the great powers of the Zeo Crystal will power up this machine so I can turn every human on this planet into Krybots."

Bridge had a worried look on his face. "Will I be turned into a Krybot?" he asked.

Broodwing shook his head. "No. I have taken steps to make sure that doesn't happen."

Bridge smiled at the thought of him being the only human on the planet. Broodwing bent down and pressed a button on the machine.

"It will take a little while for the machine to get to full power but we have time to wait." Broodwing said as he stood up. Bridge laughed and a second later Broodwing did too.

The alarms were going off again. "Sir, a power surge at the dunes." Kat said.

The rangers were running into the Command Center. "What's going on sir?" Jack asked as he and the other rangers stood at attention.

"Bridge and Broodwing are making their move at the dunes," he answered walking towards them.

"Let's go." Z said.

Kat stepped forward holding Sky's morpher. "I finished the upgrade to the S.W.A.T. mode." Sky took it and nodded his thanks. "Remember Sky, it will only last for two minutes." Kat added in a causal voice.

Sky gave another nod, he understood.

"Let's move out rangers." Cruger said. All of them ran out of the room. They reached the garage in record time and hopped in the S.W.A.T. truck and drove off. They were at the dunes with in ten minutes. The rangers got out of the truck.

"Look up there." Jack said pointing at the top of the dunes. Broodwing and Bridge were standing there.

At that moment Broodwing saw them. "Looks like the good guys have arrived," he said. Bridge stepped forward and said, "I'll take care of them sir." He cracked his knuckles. Broodwing put an arm out to stop him. "No, let's us have some fun with them using my Krybots," he said, then took out several orbs and threw them down the dune. Orange heads, blue heads, and regular Krybots came out of them and rushed down the hill towards the rangers.

"Sir what's the plan." Syd asked, watching the army running towards them.

Cruger stepped forward. "Cadet Tate and I will go after Broodwing and Bridge. The rest of you keep these guys busy."

"Yes sir," the rangers said.

Then Cruger pulled out his morpher. "Are you guys ready?" he shouted.

The rangers pulled out their own morphers and replied, "READY!"

"SPD EMERGENCY!" They all turned into their ranger forms. Then they said, "S.W.A.T. MODE." Red, Blue, Yellow, and Pink became S.W.A.T. rangers.

"Let's go Cadet Tate," Shadow Ranger said.

"Yes sir," Blue replied.

Both ran forward for a minute then jumped over the Krybots and landed on top of the dunes with the Shadow Ranger facing Broodwing and the Blue S.W.A.T. Ranger facing Bridge.

Bridge smiled, pulled out his morpher and said, "SPD EMERGENCY BATTLIZER MODE." In a flash of green light he became the Green Battlizer Ranger and pointed his sword at the Blue Ranger. "Well are we going to fight or stand around here all day?" he asked, taking a step forward.

The Blue Ranger pointed his Delta Enforcer at him. "We will fight but I will win and take you back home where you belong," he said, also taking a step forward.

The new Green Ranger charged at him saying, "Id like to see you try."

The Blue Ranger then charged at him. "I'll do more than try."

Shadow Ranger and Broodwing were also fighting. "We will defeat you and stop whatever plans you have." Cruger said, making a slash at him.

Broodwing jumped away. "The battle has just begun and I will claim victory," he said, laughing his head off…
