Story: Through Her Eyes

Disclaimer: I own no one.

Time Frame: During Endings, Part 1

Summary: AJ's father was the greatest ranger ever….now she's taking on the mantle he gave up. Power Rangers SPD.

Author Notes: Um…some parts of endings will be changed. Obviously.

After finding the underground hidden zord bay
Sky: I will never call you weird again.
Bridge: Thanks…I think.

AJ cursed as she was thrown down beside Cruger. She glared up at Gruumm as he sneered down at her.

"I said only Cruger!" he roared at A squad. All but Charlie flinched. She kicked AJ in the back.

"You know who Tommy Oliver is, don't you?" she asked. At his snarl, she smirked. "She's his daughter."

"In more ways than one, bitch." She muttered and then stifled a cry when Charlie kicked her again.

"Shut up, you!" she snarled, grabbing the lunar rangers hair and pulling her head back.

"I'm going to pray Gruumm lets us play." She purred evilly. AJ snorted.

"You never could beat me in a fair fight." She laughed and then screamed when Charlie pulled her back by the hair again.

"We'll see who beats who, Aimee." She spat the lunar rangers name like a curse.

"Enough!" Gruumm roared. Charlie let AJ go and kicked her once more before stepping back. AJ glared up at Gruumm as he taunted Cruger.

"These are not rangers. Rangers must be true of heart." Cruger shot back, causing AJ to grin. Her father and extended family had told her much the same many times growing up.

"Kill those annoying rangers." Gruumm ordered. A squad grinned. AJ shook her head in mock sorrow.

"I hope I'm there when B Squad kicks your ass." She smirked. Charlie grabbed her by the throat.

"Really? What makes you think they're going to win?" she sneered. Despite the fact Charlie's grip was cutting off most of her air intake, AJ smiled.

"Be..cause…you took…they're fath…father figure…and…me. They…are...going…to…be…pissed. And they…have…something…you…you'll…never…ha…have." She whispered. Charlie's grip tightened and AJ could see white spots dotting her vision.

"And what's that?" the evil red ranger snarled as Cruger's eyes flashed.

"Light…and…love." She whispered before her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she passed out.

"A squad has taken Commander Cruger…and AJ." Kat informed the rangers, sparing a worried glance towards Sky. The blue ranger's expression was murderous.

"They're dead." Sky whispered calmly just as Charlie appeared on the screen. As the A squad issued their challenge, Kat, Boom, and the other members of B squad could literally feel the hate and anger rolling off Sky.

As B Squad walked out, Kat took a deep breath and then began ordering the various officers to work. Then, when no one was looking, she went to her own computer and tapped in several codes.

Elsewhere, a phone rang.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the loser squad." Charlie remarked as B Squad stalked towards them.

"Where are Commander Cruger and AJ?" Jack yelled. Charlie smirked.

"Chatting up General Gruumm. Why? Can't B Squad work without the supervision of the overgrown dog?" She sneered. Jack glared.

"You pissed off the wrong people, woman!" Jack snarled. Syd smirked.

"You kidnapped Sky's girlfriend. If he doesn't kill you, her father and brother will." She remarked. Bridge grinned somewhat evilly.

"You should see what they did to the last guy that messed with the twins." He commented knowingly. Charlie's confidence faltered for a second as she realized even if they got past B Squad, they'd have to deal with sixty odd past rangers, all of them more than capable of kicking her ass.

"What happened to him?" Cliff asked despite himself. Sky smirked.

"The Ninja Storm and Mystic Force teams turned him into a sword and two daggers which AJ and her father and brother still practice with." He replied. The smiles on Cliff, Rachel, Beevor, and Ivan's faces vanished. Charlie threw the reply off.

"Are we going to stand around and talk forever?" she snarled and morphed. The rest of her team quickly followed. Jack glanced at Syd, Bridge, Sky, and Z and they nodded.

"SPD, Emergency!"

And the battle was on.

"Are you alright?" A young woman's voice asked as AJ awoke. Slowly sitting up, she tried remembering where she was. Flashes of the past couple hours flipped through her mind as her eyes widened.

"Oh no." she whispered, frantically looking around. She was in a small cell on the Terrorcraft, Commander Cruger no where in sight.

"Well, she's alive at least." The voice whispered. AJ blinked and realized she wasn't alone. Sitting dejectedly in the cell next to hers were two girls, both younger than herself. She frowned.

"Who are you?" she asked. They made shushing motions and she bit her lip.

"Don't let the guards know your awake." The girl who'd spoken before whispered. AJ slowly nodded and gingerly sat up.

"I'm Tisla. This is my twin sister Theryn. We're prisoners, like you." The girl whispered. AJ quietly crawled so she was sitting against the bars. She studied the siblings. They were humanoid, with fairly white skin, dirty blonde hair and sweet blue eyes. She had a feeling they were a lot paler than they looked though because both were covered in grime. Despite this though, she knew they were very pretty.

"Where are you from?" she whispered. Theryn's eyes flittered around as Tisla's eyes misted over.

"Malia. We…we saw it destroyed." She whispered. AJ's eyes hardened.

"You've been on this hunk of junk for nearly a year?" she whispered, outraged. Tisla nodded, eyeing her curiously.

"Where are we?" Theryn whispered brokenly. AJ's eyes softened as she took in the frightened young woman.

"Gruumm's been attacking Earth for a while now. I and my commanding officer got snatched." She informed them bitterly. Tisla's eyes widened.

"Then that must mean you're a ranger!" she whispered excitedly. AJ nodded.

"The SPD Lunar Ranger." She confirmed. Theryn's eyes lit up.

"Then you can get us out of here!" she whispered. AJ frowned.

"I don't even know how I got in." she muttered, looking around the area. As she shifted, she felt something press up against her leg. She froze, stunned. They didn't…

"Thank god for idiots." She whispered, a slow smile forming on her face as she quickly and quietly rolled up her left pant leg to reveal the Zeltrax Dagger she had strapped to her leg that morning. At the time she hadn't known why exactly she felt the need to keep it with her but now she thanked the stars above for it. She quietly slipped it out of the holster and held it in the light.

"Perfect. Now, I just need to get out of this thing." She whispered, eyeing the lock on the cell door. She smirked and reached into her hair. Finding one of the few remaining bobby pins, she cursed Charlie for destroying her hair-do. With a few quick twists, she had a home-made lock pick like the one her aunt Vida had taught her to use when she was six.

With a grin at the girls, she got to work.

End Notes: Well, we're nearly through. I'm still debating how I'm going to end this. I may end up writing both possible endings I'm thinking of and then deciding which I like better. (grins)

I'm going to try and get this finished by Sunday because Monday is the first day of the field school and I've decided to camp out. Therefore, I won't have time to type up the last few chapters. Hopefully, it'll all work out.

I'm currently debating if I'm going to start a new fic (possibly Harry Potter) this summer or if I'm going to wait until August when I won't be as busy. What do you all think I should do?

OH! Hope for the World Fanfiction Awards voting begins on Saturday, the 1st of July. THE has been nominated for a couple categories and so have many many awesome fics. Go check em out at http/ groups. msn. Com/ JadedRose (take out all the spaces). You can also find pictures of AJ and JD at the THE Characters page. The pictures for B squad got screwed up somewhere along the line though so I need to fix em. It says I hot linked but I didn't. (frowns)

the real vampire: quick question…what, exactly, is "an AJ?"

The Fire Front: I absolutely love Mother Nature, that's all I gotta say.
