AN: HOLY MACARONI! So many reviews :) Hahahaha, that made me want to update this story before my other ones :) :) :) Thank you so very much! Hope you like this chapter!
Bridge's eyes widened to the size of saucers. He fell backwards with a splash in a mud puddle due to shock.
Malevolence laughed a gutturally laugh as he walked towards the fallen green ranger.
"Bridge! Run away! GET UP!" Sky yelled frantically as he tried to force his way up from his position but the Krybots weren't relenting a bit.
The command from Sky shook Bridge to his senses as he scrambled to get up.
The Krybots immediately started moving towards Bridge, but Malevolence put out his hand in a signal to stop the Krybots.
All the rangers looked confused at the order. The fact that Malevolence wasn't letting the Krybots get hold of Bridge made them struggle harder to get free.
"What do you want with him anyways?" Jack yelled out as he ceased with his struggles.
"Well, I need something and only your friend here can get it for me." Malevolence said as pupils turned into glowing, eerie, red slits.
Bridge felt his body being lifted into the air as an invisible hand gripped his throat. He began to struggle with his last breaths coming all too soon.
"Bridge!" Sydney yelled out in fear.
"Let him go you freak!" Jack shouted.
"Not a chance." Malevolence said as his eyes glowed even brighter.
Bridge's agonizing screams echoed through the woods as it bounced off the trees. The rangers could hear their friend's cry for help but they couldn't see him since Bridge had moved out of their line of vision.
"That's enough!" A voice said as a beam of light blazed through the hidden parts of the woods, hitting Malevolence square in the chest.
The small disturbance was all that was needed to knock Malevolence away from his concentration, which was holding Bridge.
Seeing his chance of escape, Jack used the distraction as to use his powers to phase through the Krydroid. Jack ran towards Malevolence and surprised him by crashing into him, knocking the monster from his concentration.
Bridge fell to the ground coughing as he tried to get oxygen into his straining lungs.
"This will show you for hurting Bridge!" Sydney said as she touched the Krydroid which her arms automatically mimicked the metal that made the robots.
Sydney raised her hands and brought them down into the torso of the android, crushing the machine instantly as she twisted the microchips of the robot to pieces. The machine fell to the ground in a thump once it's response mechanisms were destroyed.
Seeing that everyone was in action, Z willed herself to duplicate herself twice as four of her selves quickly got her free of from the Krydroid.
Sky felt useless as the Z and Sydney came over to help him. His powers of shields were used purely for defense, which he didn't need. He needed offensive powers.
Sky felt the relief as three of the Krybots that were on him moved to fight Sydney and Z who were coming to aid him. Seeing his opportunity of vengeance, Sky lifted the Krybots off of him before throwing them into a Krybot and Krydroid trash pile that Sydney and Z had created. He was about to run to help out Jack who was fending off Malevolence, but Z stopped him.
"Use your shields and keep Bridge safe! We'll handle Malevolence." Z said as she looked at the stubborn blue ranger who looked at Malevolence and looked at the immobile green ranger before nodding bitterly.
Sydney and Z ran into the battlefield as they got their morphers to morph into the acclaimed pink and yellow rangers.
"Bridge?" Sky said worriedly as he skidded to a stop on his knees. "Come, on. Get up." He said as Bridge looked at him wearily.
"What happened?" Bridge said tiredly and confused as he coughed violently.
His head was throbbing because of something. He couldn't remember or know why since everything seemed so clouded.
"I don't know. Malevolence must have psychic powers or something." Sky said as he grunted to lift Bridge up to his feet. "Come on. The girls will kill me if I let you get caught." Sky said as he tried to lighten the mood of the situation.
"Sky!" Bridge said in terror as three Krydroids were about to crash into the two.
Sky gasped before he put out a force field out of reflex around them, but before the Krydroids made collision to the shield, a bright light flashed past them.
Sky opened his eyes, not noticing that he had closed his eyes. He watched as the Krydroids fell to the ground in a squeak of twisted metal onto the ground. He heard a vroom noise behind him which made him quickly push Bridge behind him.
"Commander!" Sky said he half tried to salute Commander Cruger who was morphed into his ranger form.
"Are you two all right?" Cruger asked as he got off his sleek motorcycle.
"I'm all right, but Bridge isn't." Sky said as he tried to support Bridge's weight. "The monster, he wanted…" He said but Cruger held out his hand.
"I know of the situation. Just get Cadet Carson out of danger." Cruger said before he ran towards an explosion that rained debris over their heads.
Sky had the worst feeling in his heart that felt like someone was squeezing it for all he was worth, and the feeling didn't seem to want to alleviate any time soon.
"Sky… I…I'm scared." Bridge hiccupped as he started hyperventilating.
Bridge has tears in his eyes that threatened to fall. He hated being who he was. He kept feeling things that he didn't want to feel or know things that he didn't want to know. Why was it so hard being him? When Malevolence entered his brain, he felt so violated. The strength of the monster was so strong.
Sky held Bridge up when it seemed like he was about to fall to his knees. He gently put Bridge down to the ground before gripping the sides of Bridge's headto bring his younger friend to look at him.
"Bridge. You look at me." Sky said firmly as he forced Bridge to look him in the eyes. "You're going to be okay. You know me. I don't lie."
"But I can feel him Sky. He's… He's happy." Bridge said with a perplexed look on his face. "I can feel everything. Sydney's hurt. Z's hurt. Jack's hurt." He said as he broke down in front of Sky.
Sky's face paled. His friend's were hurt? The explosion! They would have been in the core of it…
"Come on Bridge. I got to get you safe." Sky said as he composed himself, but all that ran through his head was that his teammates were hurt.
What was he going to do now?
