I"m not dead I swear I just became uninterested with this for a while but I'm picking it up again I think...
Note: I'm going to experiment with my writeing style in this chapter so if you notice its different from the way I wrote the last chapter that why.
...Now onward to the story
Chapter 2: Confusion
... 5 days have passed since the first monster that drained energy self-distructed curently B-squad just returned from monster number 4.
Bridge: I just dont get it, thats the fourth monster this week thats done nothing except drain energy, explode, and then leave a ball of energy that just dissappears afterwords.
Kat: Well if your looking for answers I'm afarid I don't have many to offer you, what I do know however is that whoever sent each of those monsters sent them knowing that they would die in the energy gathering process. I've finally been able to identify the type of energy they've been trying to gather, It's bio-electrical or lifeforce energy to put it simpley.
Jack: That's all fine and dandy but you still didn't answer how who ever sent them knew they would die.
Kat: I was just getting to that Jack
Jack: Oh,sorry uh continue please
Kat: Every living thing has a certain amount of bio-electrical energy; plants, trees, animals, and everything down to an ameba. Bio-electric currents regulate everthing that keeps a body alive from breatheing to reproduction to the digestive process to making sure the heart beats at the right rythem. If the Bio-electric current is interrupted or set off balance it could cause the oragnism to die, however thats when the current is missing or not as strong as it should be. These monsters from what I have observed are getting enormus amounts of bio-electrical energy pumped through them. The affect is alot like when you take a paper bag and blow it up, eventually its not going to hold any more air and it'll pop.
Bridge:except this pop really isnt a pop, although I suppose it is a pop just on a larger scale, but then would that pop just be a boom?
Kat and Cruger Just looked at Bridge as Sky,Syd,Jack, and Z were holding back groans at Bridges rambleing
Cruger: I've decided you five look exhausted, therefore I am giving you the rest of the day off to get some rest, however you are all still on call in case of an attack so stick close to the base.
All five rangers replied with a "YES SIR" and left the command center
Jack: I'm hungry, how bout you guys you wanna go get pizza?
Z: I'm game.
Bridge: Nah I think I'm gonna grab some shut-eye.
Jack: What about you two? (refering to Sky and Syd)
Syd: I have a taste for salad, I think I'm gonna go to that salad buffet place just down the street.
Jack,Z, and Bridge looked at each other the moment Syd said salad because anyone who knew Sydney Drew knew she hated vegetables and was all about the junk food.
Bridge: Wow, I never thought I would hear Sydney Drew say she wanted salad
Z: (in a scarcastic voice) Oh, are little Syd is growing up
Although Sky would never admit it to having feelings for Syd, he would do just about anything for her. He could tell that she was getting annoyed with everyone picking on her, He saw this as his chance to not only be her Knight in shineing armor but he would also get to be alone with her.
Sky: I'll go with you Syd, I'm not really in the mood for something greasey right now anyways.
Syd: Great, let's go
With that Sky and Syd walked away from the others, and started walking towards the base's main entrance
...20 minutes later at the salad buffet
Sky and Syd sitting across from each other at the table and both looking slighty nervous...
Syd: Thanks alot for coming with me Sky...an..an..and coming to my rescue when the others wouldn't get off my case about actually wanting to eat something healthy for a change.
Sky: Thats alright I wanted to come with you anyways...I mean to get salad ya know
Syd: Oh, right of course
At this point she was blushing because of what he had said, and then looked from her plate up to him and noticed that he was also blushing. After that very uncomfortable moment between them the rest of the meal was great, Syd even caught Sky laughing and smileing a couple times through different parts of their conversation. Sky paid for the meal, and then they started walking back to base. As they were walking Syd saw an Ice cream vendor further down the side walk with his cart.
Syd: Hey how bout we go and get some ice cream now
Sky: (in his best mocking voice) Hey, I thought you wanted to eat healthy?
Syd: well ice cream is made out of milk, and milk is good for you right?
Sky: well when you put it that way (starting to laugh)
Syd grabbed him by his hand and started to lead him towards the vendor. Once there Syd choose to get a scoop of Blue moon and a scoop of choclate chip cookie dough in a waffle cone, while Sky just got a scoop of vanilla in a normal cone. They decided that since it was so nice out that they would walk through the park and enjoy their ice cream.
Syd: I can't believe that all you got was a scoop of vanilla Ice cream
Sky: and what exactly might I ask is wrong with vanilla
Syd: vanilla is so boring, ice cream is supposed to be fun and well vinalla is...not
Sky: Oh, and by fun you mean mixing two flavors like blue moon and choclate chip cookie dough together. Two flavors that couldn't possibly taste good together
Sky noticed that Syd had stopped walking he turned around and saw her with a very mischevious expression on her face.
Sky: What?
Syd: I want you to try my ice cream and tell me its not good
Sky: ok, but if this kills me
Syd: will you just shutup and try it already
Sky: fine, but then you have to try mine
Syd: fine I'll do it
After having tried a couple licks of hers Sky decided that it wasent completely bad and Syd decided that vanilla was ok.
As they were finishing up there ice cream they were suddenly attacked by a group of unkown creatures, that all had glowing green eyes, razor sharp talons and very ominous looking black wings.
Syd: what the heck are these?
Sky: No idea
They started to fight the creatures, as good of fighters as Sky and Syd were they couldnt even get a punch in they were to focused on just trying to defend themselves. After about 15 minuts of being not able to fight back and getting the stuffing knocked out of them Sky and Syd decided to kick up to the next level.
Sky: you ready for this Syd?
Syd: Lets do it!
Together they pulled out their morphers and said "SPD EMERGENCY!"
Once morphed they had a new vigor for the battle they pulled out their batons and started fighting back, after a few minutes Sky realized that they hadn't managed to take down even one of the things yet. He quickley attached his patrol grip and baton together to from the deltamax striker he looked over and saw the Syd had done the same.
Sky: Let's do this together Syd
Syd: right!
Together: Deltamax striker full power! FIRE!
Their combined power knocked a few of the creatures back but it didnt destroy them. Syd and Sky were back to back trying to keep the creatures away.Then one suddenly flew straight up into the air and then useing the momentum it had gained went back down at an amazing speed with the intent of chargeing Sky and Syd, but before it made it to them a red beam hit the creature square in the chest.
Sky: Well its about time!
Jack and the others ran next to Sky and Syd
Jack: Your Welcome Sky (in a very scarcastic tone), but we can harp on each other later. What the heck are these things?
Syd: I dont know but what ever they are there strong and so far nothing we thrown at them has had any effect, we haven't even taken one out yet.
Jack: well I took one with my blasters.
Bridge: Uh, Jack are you talking about the one that just got up and spontaneously healed it self
Jack: yep...thats the one, sooooo any body have any bright ideas
Just as the words left Jack's mouth the sky became black and lightning hit the ground with a flash revealing a monster that was at least twice the size of the other creatures. He wore gold armor with strange markings on it, and weilded a sword that was almost as tall as he was (A/N if your wondering it kinda looks like clouds starting sword from Final Fantasy 7)
Monster: Here's an idea you can all DIE!
He stabbed his sword into the ground causeing a tremendous ripple of energy to be sent through the ground and explode beneath the rangers. The rangers were all thrown back and demorphed
Sky: What the hell was that ?
Bridge: No idea but lets try not to get hit by that again
Jack: Who are you?
Monster: I am Talix, the Herald of your's and this worlds Destruction.
Jack: Yeah many have said things like that but they always fail in the end
Talix: You couldn't even take out a single darkling, what makes you think you can beat me
Jack: We've fought worse than you, and won
Talix: I highly doubt it, I grow tired of this
Just as he was about to strike the rangers down, he heard a voice.
Voice: Talix that is enough, the time is not yet right for their demise
Talix: Yes My lord
He turned back to the rangers
Talix: You were lucky this time, but the next time we meet I will destroy you all
With a Crimson flash Talix and his darklings were gone.
(If anybody can come with anything better instead of darklings for the chronies names let me know, I ran out of ideas) :)
