Disclaimer:

I would just like to say that, unfortunately, I do no own the Power Rangers brand or anything under that title, nor do I own any of the original characters or places. However, I do own the non-original characters and concepts so no stealing! And now onto the story, which I would just like to point out, id my first Power Rangers story, so I apologise now if it is rubbish.

Apart from that, just hope you enjoy it and please review :)

P.S. The chapters are most likely to be short to start off with, as it's to set the pace and its changing scene a lot.

Power Rangers SPD:

The rising of the Raksends Alliance

Missing, presumed dead

Bridge ate the rest of his toast in deep thought and as he approached the computer he had a brain wave.

"Access file, Janie Winters." The computer's screen read 'processing' before the file opened up.

Name: Janie Winters

Gender: Female

Occupation: Volunteer worker

Current status: Missing, presumed dead

Bridge sighed. He remembered that day; his fellow rangers would describe it as the one-day when Bridge was totally un-bridge-like, i.e. depressed.

He'd received the news that morning, in a sealed envelope. It was simple and white, a note from the district office, notifying him that the time limit was up and that Janie's status would be changed to 'presumed dead'. It seemed so final, yet so open-ended that it was brutal.

"Bridge? You ok?" The voice sounded distant at first, but he came back to Earth with a bump as he saw Syd's hand fly in front of his face.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Syd looked to the others who all shared the same look – the look that said 'yeah, whatever.'

For the rest of the day Bridge barely smiled. He spent most of his time in his and Sky's room moping, so much so that Sky avoided the room at all cost. When Bridge wasn't in their room they were on call out and he only spoke when necessary.

He'd given up on her suddenly re-appearing when Gruum made himself known. However, somewhere in the back of his head he'd thought and hoped that she'd surface after Gruum's capture, he'd pretty much lost all hope of seeing her again before that, which was something he found hard to accept as it was so unlike him.

But for her to re-appear? And as Geanie, a criminal? That was even harder to comprehend, for Janie had been a volunteer worker, she was one of the most helpful people Bridge had known, she couldn't be a criminal now, it was impossible.

Dawn broke and soon enough, cadets started to enter the common room seeking breakfast and fellow cadets and friends. Sky and Z appeared, eventually followed by Syd.

"Morning." Z said, relatively brightly for once as Syd stretched her un-bandaged arm.

"You ready for briefing?" Sky asked, Bridge didn't feel tired, but Sky knew he'd been up early and whilst when Bridge replied with "Yes." He didn't press the matter, even though he thought he should.

"Rangers, we have more information on the Raksends Alliance." Kat informed them as they entered the command centre. "The Raksends Alliance is a group of different ruling individuals, most of them superior gang leaders, such as Gruum was. There are seven all told; these leaders call themselves the Racksend lords. However, the alliance itself is lead by a gang leader called Gekido, but lower members call him master or the Supreme Lord."

"Well he isn't going to win any beauty contests any time soon." Z muttered, she was right. Gekido was a wide-shouldered being. He had small, permanently narrowed eyes and his whole body was covered in shiny metal, as if it were skin. There was a large scar running down the left side of his chest and just below his red eyes, running down from the cheekbone on the right side of his face.

"Have you any more information on the girl from yesterday, Geanie?" Bridge thought whether to speak, but decided it may not be wise, after all, Janie was presumed dead, and they'd think he was crazy to link her to Geanie… Mind you, he'd been right before, but even though he'd been proved right in the end, he'd had ages to wait before the truth came to light.

But before Bridge could say anything the briefing was over and he was being dragged out into the corridor.

"Bridge are you sure you're ok?"

"Fine, why wouldn't I be? Look, I need some air." With that, Bridge left down the corridor that lead to the open grounds.

"Is it me, or is Bridge acting weird… even for Bridge?" Syd asked as Z nodded.

"Yeah. It reminds me of something…"

"That day last year." Sky suddenly added and Z nodded,

"Yeah that was it." Syd agreed.

"We better keep an eye on him." Z and Sky nodded as they split up and Syd followed Bridge outside.

"Hey." Syd said quietly as she approached Bridge, sitting on the steps outside the HQ.

"Hi." He replied quietly as she stared at his feet. Syd didn't like the look of this. Normally Bridge was so inquisitive about the outside world that he'd be looking anywhere but his shoes.

"Look we know there's something up, so you want to talk about it?" Syd immediately regretted it. 'Well done Syd, go the direct approach. Come on, there's a time and a place for the direct approach an this isn't it!'

"Not particularly, you guys will think I'm stupid."

"Try me." Bridge looked at her as she sat down next to him and he sighed.

"I had this friend called Janie. She went missing a while ago and last year, when I was down for a while, well its because I got a letter saying her status was being changed to 'presumed dead'."

"Oh my gosh, Bridge I'm so sorry!"

"Its ok. Anyway, I remembered the thing about that girl that was familiar, it was her name. Janie told me when we were small that sometimes people called her Geanie."

"So you just got reminded of that day?"

"Not exactly."

"What then?"

"I think Geanie is Janie. In fact, I think, well I pretty sure that I'm certain that she is."

"What! Why?"

So should Bridge tell Syd? Will he tell her? And what is it about Janie that Bridge knows that the others don't and why does he think that Geanie could be Janie? Stay tuned to find out!
