Ch 3: The Astonishment
Disclaimer: Don't own Power Rangers.
Aloha guys,
Okay, confession time, personally I dont think this is too good a chapter than before so pls dun shoot me... But as of thesame routineas before, constructive reviews are welcomed, and I really hope more will come in though. Well, if the reviews rgrds to this chappie is bad, I probably will rewrite the concept of this story again, so yeah, do lemme noe, quickly.
As for the rise in ranking for Sydney, it will be explained in my further chaps, yup... so once agn, enjoy!
"Before I tell you the reason for me wanting to see you, I shall take this opportunity to congratulate you both on your happy union, the very first couple on the very same squad of S.P.D academy." Kat gave them a smile of happiness but the forcefully disguised worry look on her face did not escape Sky's watchful eyes.
Sky turned back to look at Cruger, held his wife's hand and thanked their Commander together. Something is wrong and he wants us to know. But what could it be? Could it be an escaped convict? Unlikely, he thought, so what could it be then? And why wasn't he letting the other rangers know? There were too many questions in mind.
Sydney could hardly endure her anxiety.
"Commander, what is it?" Sydney asked while Sky nodded beside. He wasn't the sort to ask questions. His wife did a better job at that. His wife. He loves the sound of that.
Cruger glanced at them, and walked towards the center of the control room. "Sit," Cruger ordered.
"Sky, Syd, I received news that your children, more accurately, your twins, Mirabelle and Lysander Tate," Cruger paused for them to digest, "are coming to pay you a visit from the future."
The couple sucked in a surprise gasp.
"What?" Sydney shouted and covered her mouth with her hands. Sky thought he heard wrongly too. He had to admit, nothing shocked him more than this news.
"We have a pair of twins." Sky repeated to himself.
Cruger continued, "From the news I received, Omega told me that Nova and he, supposedly their bodyguards are coming along with them. However, we are unsure of what would be their reason of visiting you, but I am confident that it should be the concern with their era. I was disconnected before they could tell me more."
Sydney, was still too shock to speak.
Sky spoke up, his voice a little shaky, "When will, when will my children arrived?"
Cruger shook his head. Kat told them that this was one of the information they weren't sure too.
"Sky, Syd, I don't want you to leak this information out yet. I don't want anything untoward happening to your kids," Cruger told them in a grave voice.
"Yes sir," they chorused.
"I'm calling the rest of B-squad in, now."
B-squad stood in a row, waiting for instructions. The astonishment disappeared from the couple's face.
Cruger nodded to Kat and she motioned to Boom, carrying a tray of new S.P.D morphers to enter.
"Cadet Schuyler Tate, listen up."
"Yes, sir." Sky saluted to Cruger and receives his new morpher as well as the rest.
"You are promoted to Elite Special Force A Squad Red, Colonel of S.P.D, New Tech City division."
"Cadet Sydney Drew, await your order."
"At your command, sir."
"You are promoted to Elite Special Force A Squad Pink, Lieutenant Colonel, New Tech division."
Sydney was shocked. Surely there must be some mistake in the ranks. Never in her wildest dreams had she thought she would become a lieutenant colonel. That was totally, double shocking news in a day. She wondered if she could take any more surprises. But the pressing issue was, why.
"Cadet Bridge Carson."
"Here, sir."
"You will be promoted to Elite Special Force A Squad Blue, Major, New Tech division."
"Cadet Elizabeth Delgado."
"At your command, sir."
"You will be promoted to Elite Special Force A Squad Yellow, Captain, New Tech division."
"Thank you, Commander."
"Congratulations to my cadets. You have done well and have earned your credits. I hereby step down from my position as a Commander."
Bridge raised his left hand, "You mean leaving S.P.D?"
"No, I am taking up a new position, Major General, New Tech Division," Cruger paused for effect and said, "Now that you hold higher ranks than before, I expect no pranks but seriousness at all times during your posts.
"In addition, Elite Special Forces A will only have four cadets, there weren't be more."
Cruger added, "There are times whereby you are required in mission. But right now, you all will be doing more teaching, but severe combat trainings schedule still have to be followed.
"B-squad will be taken under your wings for thorough training and the rest of the cadets here will be your students as well.
IS THAT CLEAR?" Major General Cruger demanded loudly.
"SIR, YES SIR!" Special Elite AForce chorused in response.
