Kat smiled as she walked into the command center, peace was something she enjoyed, but knew would always be short lived as long as Gruumm still remained free. Then she looked at her friend Anubis "Doggie" Cruger and an old rumor that she'd overheard one day rang in her mind
"I've heard cadets say that if Kat and the commander were of the same ethnicity they would probably have been together for at least eight years now" on of the girls had said to Z and Kathleen
"It wouldn't surprise me any" Z said
Kathleen agreed as well that she figured that they would be together.
Kat wondered if that was true that they would be together if their ethnicities were the same… she didn't know about him, but on her end it would probably be true.
To her he was a magnificent person and her hero. He saved her life… literally after her home planet fell to Gruumm. Other members of the search party… including the now Supreme Commander, Fowler Birdie, and Sergeant, Silverback, among others had passed her up as being to far gone to save; Anubis "Doggie" Cruger saw her as otherwise. He looked at her and saw that it was only by her willpower that she was alive and had a good chance of making it if she held her will as strongly as she had so far. He had watched her recover over the months and then begin to get to know those around her and see him for what he really was at that point broken, working at a mere fragment of his true potential. His heart had shattered with the lost of his wife, Aisynia Cruger only months past and to see Kat thriving did him good, but she knew that to get him back to his potential she had to get back to her own first. She didn't know what Cruger would say to that rumor she couldn't tell that the rumor was plausible from both sides.
To Cruger, the answer to the question of would he be with Kat if they were of the same ethnicity might be 'of course'… he saw her for her grace and majesty as an individual, she didn't let much get in her way and that was what he liked about her. The only thing that he didn't like about her was she didn't do enough for herself, it was almost as if she didn't think about herself until last, and that didn't become more obvious until her recuperation was finished and she went to tending to his injured spirit when hers was just as bad if not worse. He had noticed instantly that she didn't really think about herself that much; she mostly put others before herself, namely him, which he never thought truly necessary, his wife had been the same way only not to the same degree as Kat Manx. Cruger could remember watching Kat push herself to recover and then turning to help him reach what she knew he could be. He knew her to be a compassionate woman, but didn't see that from her at first, then realized that was just her way.
Cruger watched Kat work on one of the computers that had been malfunctioning that day and he realized that they were brought together for a reason, they were good for each other.
Kathleen watched her mother and the commander and smiled her mother always knew how to play her cards where Cruger was concerned and vice versa he knew how to play his cards with her… that was how the new mission was devised. Kat was leaving SPD with Cruger to investigate a trouble that only a computer expert could figure out, and he would serve as a protector to her.
They found themselves way outside of the Newtech City Limits and out of their comfort zones. The city was out of view by the time the got to the location of the disturbance and realized it was a trap!
"Krybots!" Kat exclaimed.
"Just what I thought, it's a trap… Kat stay back" Cruger said then morphed.
"No!" Kat snapped, "I am not helpless, I can fight" as she got out of the Jeep and stepped up beside the Shadow Ranger.
"Okay, Kat" Cruger smiled internally, there another of her good traits she wouldn't put up with people hurting her friends. The battle raged for at least fifteen minutes before it became a standoff appeared Gruumm and grabbed the undefended Kat and placed his sword to her throat
"One wrong move and I kill her!" he said firmly Cruger stopped mid swing and put his Shadow Saber to his side
"Let Kat go, she isn't involved in our fight" Cruger said
"Oh is she, Anubis?" Gruumm asked "I've hit an old wound haven't I Doggie?" Gruumm was doing his best to get Cruger to attack him and involuntarily murder Kat as well!
"I won't attack you as long as you use my best friend as your living shield… I knew you were ruthless but this is low even for you" Cruger knew it was too dangerous to try and fight Gruumm's forces while Gruumm still had that blade to Kat's throat. So he did the only thing he knew, demorphed and surrendered immediately
"Doggie, don't give up because of me!" Kat protested
"I'm not going to sacrifice my best friend… there is nothing that important."
"What about the fate of the world?" Kat demanded
"Forget it, if the cost of saving the planet is your life then it costs too much" Cruger's actions showed that he meant what he said
Gruumm shoved her forward towards Cruger who instantly caught her before she could hit the ground.
"Don't worry, the battle for this planet isn't over yet, the rangers know something's going on I sent a distress call"
"Then why did you surrender?" she asked
"I knew that when I did, he would let go of you… meaning you'd be safe" the conversation's hushed tone meant that Gruumm didn't hear a word that they said
That was the moment everything clicked in her mind, he was surrendering so that she wouldn't be in the cadet's line of fire when they arrived as the back up.
An Orange head grabbed Kat roughly, but Cruger knew that now there was less of a chance that Gruumm would cause Kat physical harm; he didn't really realize how truly brutal Gruumm was. The next time he'd see Kat she would be injured after having to defend herself against Gruumm.
Cruger found himself at a temporary setup on Earth, several Orange Heads and Blue Heads guarded him, he could have easily defeated them and left, but he didn't plan on leaving without Kat Manx she was his best friend and he loved her dearly. He felt his heart break when he saw her condition after she had to face battle because she wouldn't give in and work for Gruumm or the "Magnificence" and Gruumm and his forces knew that even the Magnificence could brainwash a felina and them not quickly recover themselves.
"Kat," Cruger was quickly at her side as he knew she wasn't well. She was weak from her injuries and he knew this meant trouble for her… he had no means to treat her wounds and this made him furious, but he kept his anger inside, he needed to do what he could for Kat; she needed him. He helped her get from the entrance deeper into the room where he could better see what was going on.
She was weak, and having trouble breathing. He found that he still had his morpher on him, and he knew, on his own he could escape easily, but as badly injured as she was, he didn't want to leave her at Gruumm's mercy or lack there of. Cruger figured she had some fractured ribs by the way her breathing was labored
"Doggie it… it hurts to breath," she whispered in absolute agony.
"Hush, don't speak" he said gently those words gave him the feeling she might have a punctured lung among other severe injuries
'Gruumm, you will pay for hurting Kat' Cruger thought 'I promise'.
