Chapter VI: A daring attempt

Sky took Cruger's words into consideration. So the next day he rounded up A squad and they left for the streets. He was determined to ace them again. Cruger informed the space rangers of Sky's pride and how he'd look for a fight. The space rangers and Cruger were on standby.

Sky left his bike parked up and proceeded on foot. The others followed. He did not say a word, he never spoke when he was deep in thought/really angry. They weren't far from their vehicles when a bolt of laser shot past Sky's head and landed between Jack's feet. Sky looked up and saw the silver ranger on a rooftop. He looked to his left for a second and all he saw was a foot. When he woke up the place was in ruins. His team mates were morphed and fighting back the evil rangers. Cruger was there, sword fighting the Magna Defender. Jack and Syd were facing off against Trey. Bridge and Z were fighting the phantom ranger. Sky pushed himself to his feet. Two more shots went whistling past his ears, he looked and the silver ranger was a couple of metres away from hi. There was not enough time to morph, so he ran. He scrambled onto his bike and sped off. He saw in his rear view mirror the silver ranger on his bike. Sky was losing the race. The Astro Megaship flew overhead. It hovered over with the hatch/ramp coming down. Sky knew what to do. He pushed that bike to it's limits and got the bike up and into the ship, the hatch closed. Sky greeted the space rangers. Except it was only TJ.

"What happened?" Sky asked, his head pounding.

"The other rangers came into help when you were ambushed. I stayed behind with the ship." TJ shook his hand.

"Well set me down, I can't just leave them." Sky shook his head.

"Screw that, there room on that bike for two?"

The Megaship landed on a basketball court outside. The S.P.D. bike flew out of it with a red ranger riding and a blue ranger hanging on the back. They made it back to the industrial estate, where the fight was still ranging. Sky jumped off and jump kicked Tommy in the back. TJ pulled out his Astro axe and attacked Trey. Cruger had Mike on the floor. Bridge and Cassie managed to pin Billy against a wall. They were winning. Rito then teleported down to help. He slashed Cruger across the chest, and then threw Bridge and Cassie away. The seven of them teleported away.

"My suspicions are correct; Master vile is behind this, which means they're in the M-51 galaxy." Cruger sighed.

Back at S.P.D. headquarters, A Squad, B squad, C squad and Space rangers were in the main hall. Cruger was making a speech.

"Our scans show that the six evil rangers are based on a planet in the M-51 galaxy. Andros has asked for a team of us to help rescue them. So in proportion to this threat, I'm sending A, B and C squads. You all will take the Astro Megaship. The space rangers and I will brief you on a plan of action en route. I am appointing Miss Manx to lead S.P.D. while I'm gone, and D squad to defend it. All rescuing rangers will meet up at the Megaship at seven tonight. Tomorrow we will attempt the most daring rescue in S.P.D history."

Every ranger bar D squad turned up outside the Astro Megaship at 7pm. The space rangers and Cruger were already there. The hatch opened.

"Now there are not enough beds to sleep, but you can at least sit down." Andros shouted out before leading them inside. They followed him into a large briefing room, the rangers sat down, the space rangers and Cruger stood at the front.

"Ok, the six rangers are dangerous and powerful. The sixth ranger in a power ranger's team is usually the most powerful of the group, so approach with caution.

B squad, I want you to go with the Space rangers to find the evil rangers and capture them.

C squad, I want you to secure the outside in case Vile calls for reinforcements.

The A squad will accompany me to find Master Vile and Rito; we will try to capture them. Any questions?" Cruger barked. Mark, the red B squad ranger put his hand up.

"Yeah, if we defeat the rangers, capture them and bring them back. Once we've done that, what do we do with them?"

"That's an interesting point. Miss Manx is looking into a way of treating whatever mind control they've been placed under. Dismissed." Cruger replied. The rangers left to search the ship. Cruger followed the space rangers into the control room. Andros was bashing buttons and pulling leavers in an attempt to get the Megaship off the ground, the Megaship was slowly pulling up. Cruger tapped Andros on the shoulder.

"Andros, when you get to the rangers, remember what you have to do."

Andros nodded. Cruger left to boss more people about. In a few hours they could see the small bunker that Master Vile was operating from. DECA called out across the ship.

The Rangers met up in the hatch. The hatch opened when the rangers morphed.

"Let's rocket!"

"S.P.D. emergency!"

The rangers ran out and towards the bunker. There was now outside, you could easily mistake it for somewhere in Russia. The front door was too conventional; they looked for another way in. Carlos and the others made up the mega blaster. They blasted a hole in the wall. They jumped through, the other rangers followed. They split up. C squad took up positions outside. The blue and yellow rangers jumped onto the roof, the pink ranger his in a small trench, the green ranger hid behind a couple of steel drums and the red ranger stood in front of the door. The B squad followed the space rangers. They were lost.

For the next few chapters I'll dedicate a separate chapter to each team for this action.
