Chapter III: Space and Space Patrol Delta
The space team were sitting around a table. They were all nearly 40, and not sure what to do next.
"We can't just wait for them to magically appear." TJ ended the 17 minutes of silence.
"We can't do anything." Andros added. "We have to leave this to S.P.D. We're all not up to this. We can't ask any other team to do this. We'll Go to Earth and ask them to retrieve the rangers."
"We can still fight; we can defend earth while A squad rescue them." Carols snapped. He was the most active of the rangers.
"That'll be for Cruger to decide." Cassie replied.
The next day arrived. The Astro Megaship Mark II soared out of K0-35 and towards Earth; they had permission to land it on S.P.D. ground before their meeting with Cruger. They waited until promptly noon to enter the main building. They were directed to Cruger's office.
"Ah Space rangers." Cruger shook their hands. "What can I do for you?"
"As you know, several sixth rangers have gone missing. We need a squad of rangers to help rescue them, as we are getting too old for this." TJ answered. He had become the voice of the group because of Andros' lack of vocabulary.
"Rescue? Shouldn't you be asking Lightspeed Rescue?" Cruger laughed. So did the others.
"Yeah, right. You've got 4 fully operational Ranger squads. Whoever has the six rangers knows what he's doing. We need Sky Tate and his team to bring down this evil." Andros spoke up.
"Officer Tate? You are well informed. It may also interest you to know that Jack Landors has returned to S.P.D. and is currently serving as the green ranger on that squad." Cruger nodded.
"But can they help?" Ashley asked.
"As the sixth ranger to that team I consider this a top priority and that we will work non stop until those six hostages are found." Cruger stood up as to indicate that the space rangers were to leave. The space rangers started walking out.
"Stay on Earth for now, I will brief the A-Squad and contact you on the results of the universal scan." Cruger raised his voice.
M-51
The rangers were almost evil. Master vile had set up a sort of converter that seemed to be sucking the good out of them. Billy was the first to go. He was hacked off that he was not valued as such by the Zeo team. The anger converted him evil quickly. Phantom ranger was the next to go; before he turned evil his last words were "Strange, I wasn't a Turbo Ranger." Trey was still hanging in there, trying not to get angry, but then he submitted. Tommy, Zhane and Mike were left. "I thought I wasn't even a ranger." Mike smiled, he was in deep pain. They all were having the good energy sucked out of you is painful.
"This is weirder; I'm not even the real Tommy." Tommy wheezed before passing out. Zhane was quick to follow. Master Vile and Rito were watching on CCTV.
"Dad, why didn't you use the real Tommy?" Rito asked.
"Because this Tommy is only 20, and he has the green ranger powers. The real Tommy is forty something with Dino Thunder powers." Master Vile shrugged. "But soon I'll unveil them, and then the world will pay."
