a/n: AH! see what you did! you made me start writing the ending of this fic! T-T like you care... anyhow! picking up where left off! since you SPD fans seemed to have liked it - forgive if it's a little dizzying, lol.

Sky was in the sparring room with Jack and Z. Something in his mind told him he wasn't doing it the right way, he wasn't treating Bridge rightly, like you should treat your best friend. Sky struck the air with his bare fist, his mind still on Bridge.

There was a soft scoff from the corner and the trio looked. Rain stood there, a bright smile on, with four very large, rather heavy looking breifcases. She gestured for them to come over, which they did. She cleared her throat. "Today, you'll be doing sparring with me and Squee, whenever she shows up. Sky and Syd will spar off with Squee, Jack, Z, you two are with me." Squee came in, a stack of towels in her arms, which she placed on a table nearby. "Now, each of the cases has a vest, leg, and arm weights. We'll start with the legs and move to the arms. Sky and Jack, the colors of your uniforms mark your starting point and case. Z and... Where's Sydney?"

Squee came forward, a black vest covered her usually black uniform, black leg weights went from her knees to her ankles, and the black arm weights, which she was securing, span from her elbow joint to her wrists and had gloves on the hands to help hold the weights there. "If Syd doesn't show, she'll miss the good part."

The trio looked at each other and then at Squee. Although Squee was only eighteen, almost nineteen, she was a little less toned than a bulky warrior. Her structure was strong-boned, and she did seem on the slim side. They had no idea what this girl was up to, but she was certainly up to something.

Sky walked over to his case and snapped it open. The weights for his legs were 11.7 lbs each. He felt a kind of hate build up for a minute and then vanish as he lifted the weights. Beside them, the arm weights were 27.6 lbs each. He stood up and saw something that made his jaw drop ten feet down.

Bridge was floating in mid-air, half-way between the roof and the floor, his eyes closed, his gravity pulling him towards the roof. His eyes snapped open when Squee walked up beside him. She tugged his sleeve and he landed in a hand-stand on the floor. He bent back and stood on his feet. Jack, by instinct after several months, saluted Bridge.

Sky knew they'd shoved him away, but that was for a reason! Bridge was, after all, a higher-up than them, which meant that he wasn't allowed to be all friendly with his old friends. Sky had a general idea what Bridge was going through. He wasn't so sure what he was supposed to be doing, so he was just keeping to himself and the two girls. He strapped the weights around his shins and felt the weight as he went to stand on the mark Squee had placed for him. "Bridge?"

"Cadet Tate?" Bridge looked at him as he stood not to far away with Squee. The two were warming up, or sparring, and were stopping for a moment. "Can I help you?"

"Um, what do I do?" Sky stood there.

Squee walked over and stood in front of him. "I want you to hop like a rabbit. What do you normally do? Do that and come to me when you've completed seventy rounds." She went back to sparring with Bridge.

Out of no where, they all felt a sudden merge of power around them. Those who stood closest to Squee and Bridge stumbled a little, but the farther away, the more powerful it got. Sky braced for the impact and felt it flow through his body. Bridge was fighting Squee withe such power that the two were acctually bending the air around them in ripples. Bridge brought his hand, flat palm out, and slammed it into Squee's shoulder as she rammed her entier shin into his side. There, where each had struck was a flash of light, for mere moments, as that was the moment of contact.

Sky was quite shocked, but otherwise fine. Even Rain was suprised at this power and agility being played on the training area. Slowly, they were making their way to the glass-encased, all concrete saprring room, flashes and sweat, all of it was slowly starting to head into the room,making sounds like those of strained warriors.

Rain and theB-Squad Rangers went to the glass to watch. Sky was somehow drawn to watch Squee's sharp movements. Her aura was suddenly visible to the sheild-maker. He gasped, her aura was neauteral white! She was in the heat of battle with so many responsibilities, but she wasn't under any stress. He looked at the others, transfixed on Bridge and the back to Squee.

Squee felt the Amulet pulsing through her veins again, it's power so strong, and yet it was weak. She watched as Bridge dodged her full-on fist and watched him land like a cat and swing his leg around to trip her. She bent back and used him as a spring and launched herslef towards a wall, using it to force herself to fly forward to him, knocking him back and slamming him into the wall, where she held him steady as she brought her shin up to wham it into his side.

A mizture of shock and pain spread over his face and he managed to slap her arms away and dodged her other shin. He cut low, but brought his foot up to collide with her face, smearing blood all over the walls and floors. Squee's nose was bleeding and she wasn't standing down, she just smirked and whiped away the blood and watched Bridge charge forward. The power surging through her body was incredible. She brought her fist back to her hip and then thrust it forward as Bridge brought his forward. The green smoke that swirrled away from his fist was his inner strength, just as Squee's was the color of snow and his was the color of the forest, they clashed, running into each other, blending, fizzing, shaping. And with a blast that blew out the unbreakable ultra glass and spread cracks through the concrete. Sky, Jack, and the others were thrown down to the ground as the cracks split the walls outside the sparring room and throughout the roof and door, cracking the panel to open the door, crushing the door and throwing it out into the hall, just as Kat was walking past.
