DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT THE OCS AND THE PLOT
SPD:03
In the SPD Rec room, the air was so thick with tension that Ian could've sworn he could cut it with the machette strapped to his leg. The reason? Sky and Dave did not get along, mostly because of Dave's devil may care attiutude, and the fact that Sky was more up tight than a vigin at prom. Today, their arguement was over regulations. "I don't give a damn if you do outrank me, you ain't my boss!" Dave yelled at him, as the rest of the team cringed. Dave was skating on thin ice. "Look, just because Cruger trusts you, doesn't mean I do, so until you prove otherwise, you listen to me!" Sky shouted back. Ian blanched. He had just hit a nerve: telling Dave what to do. "Look you, I didn't sign on to be bossed around by a wanna be red ranger, you stuck up bastard!" Dave yelled back, hitting the biggest nerves in Sky's mind. But Dave didn't stop there, oh no, it got worse. "Now I'm only gonna say this once, so all of you listen, and listen good." he began, anger contorting his features into a mask of fury. "Get off my ass." he finished with enough venom to put a cobra to shame.
As he turned to leave, he heard Sky. "You think you could do a better job leading the team?" he roared. His answer came in a stone cold tone of voice Ian had only heard Dave use once. "Yes. I do." "At this point, Jack had had enough from both of them. "Alright, here's what we're gonna do. As of now, Cadet Burnside will be leading the team for today. That includes dealing with any missions in the city." he said, stepping between them, a task that a lesser man would not have even thought about attempting. Dave nodded. "Alright then, Cadet Carson, what is our purpose?" he asked. Bridge fumbled for an answer for about three seconds before Dave raised his hand to silence him. "Wrong. Leaning rest, now." he said sternly. "You didn't even give him a chance to think about it!" Z burst out. "He shouldn't have to! All of you should be able to state the purpose of SPD within two seconds of being asked. If you cannot, you are wrong. Now, cadet Delgato, leaning rest. As a matter of fact, all of you get in the leaning rest!" he finished with a yell, dropping with them. "In cadence!" he called as they began to do push ups. The door slid open, and in walked Commander Cruger. "Group, attention!" Ian suddenly shouted. "Commander on deck!" the squad leapt tot their feat and saluted. Cruger looked at Dave for a nano second before saying "carry on, cadets."
Dave looked at Squad B and motioned for Jack to step forward. "Sir?" "For one, don't call me sir, specialist will do. Second, what do we have for training today?" he asked. "Obsatcle course, specialist." Jack said nervously. "Cadets! Get to the mud run, now!" he yelled. "If I beat you there, you will not like the consequences. MOVE!" for the rest of the day, Dave seemed to be running B Squad into the ground like a Ft. Benning Drill Sergeant. When the day was finally out, Dave called Sky to the front of the formation. "Cadet Tate, if you showed half the enthusiasm everyday that you showed today, then you would've defeated Gruum long ago. Dismissed." As B Squad left, Ian walked up to Dave, looking highly amused. "What?" Dave asked, oblivious to the fact that the commander had been watching the whole time. "Nothing. Commander Cruger was just wondering where you learned to do that." Dave looked at Ian sourly as the alarms began to go off. "Don't they have anything better to do in this city?" Dave grumbled as he skidded to a stop to see the screen. On it, was something he hadn't seen since before he entered dimensional limbo: it was the sun storm dragon zord. "I'll handle this myself. The rest of you stay here." Dave said as pushed a button on his watch, making the face transform into a black stone. "But-" "That's an order, cadet Landors." Turning toward the screen, he shouted, "Black Shadow Dragon, power UP!" while doing the dino thunder hand motions. Looking toward the monitor, they saw an exact copy of the yellow zord, except black, landing.
"Late as usual, bro." a female voice sneered over the comm. "What the hell do you want, Ashlee?" he spat, not knowing why the hell his twin sister was here, or caring. "I came to get you." she said simply, slashing at Dave with her sword, who dodged and punched her in the side, forcing her onto the defensive. "We'll finish this later. It seems we have company." she said, making Dave look behind him, only to see the delta megazord. "I oredered you to stay behind!" he yelled at them, only to hear Sky's response. "Your leadership over B Squad was ended when you dismissed us earlier." On the ground, Ian groaned and held his head. Sky just didn't learn from the whopping Dave had given him on the mat earlier. The black dragon zord turned toward the delta megazord. "Sis, go. I'll handle this." he grunted over the radio. With almost inhuman speed, he slashed at the delta megazord, causing it to split apart into the delta runners. With a flash, Dave's zord disappeared, and he demorphed, fully prepared to face the wrath of B Squad when he got back.
"What were you thinking! You let a dangerous perp escape!" Sky was yelling. Dave looked at him, then punched him. "Shut up, Now listen, and listen good. that 'perp' was my twin sister, and if you think I'm gonna let her get taken to some inter-galactic jail, you got another thing comin." Dave snarled, his short temper getting the better of him again. The command center was deathly quiet as Sky climbed to his feet, and punched Dave. All of Dave's bottled up emotions that had been threatening to brust for the past few days exploded right then: in the form of a fist fight. It ended only when Commander Cruger fired a shot from a borrowed blaster. "What is going on here?" he asked, not really wanting an answer. Dave stood, and tore the badge off of his uniform. "I quit." he said as he threw it to the floor and blew it up with a blast of lightning. With that, he teleported out. Ian looked at the rest of the rangers. "He'll be back. Eventually." he said, staring at the fragments of what had been Dave's badge.
Across the city, Dave appeared in front of his sister, effectively scaring the hell out of her. That much was evident in her choice of language when she relized it was just him. "Why did you follow me here, Ashlee?" he asked as he sat down on a crate. "I know what changed." she said. Dave sat up, stiff as a board. "What?" he asked eagerly. "It was in the past." she informed him. Before she could finish, there was a flash of yellow light, and she vanished. Cursing, Dave looked around the room. His gaze fell on a picture of the dino thunder rangers. He stared. The yellow ranger was missing.
What is going on? what's the deal with the picture? what happens now that Dave has left SPD? REVIEW
