Chapter XI: "I'd like to report a robbery….."
Cruger, the A squad and the space rangers were in Cruger's office.
"This is serious. More serious than I'd imagined. Not only has he got the coin, but the coin has no current owner so he can endow himself with the power." Cruger nodded.
"Oh my god." Ashley sighed.
"So do we go back in?" Sky asked.
"I'd prefer that you don't. Now that he knows that we can get in he could set all kinds of traps. We'll just have to see how things pan out." Cruger shook his head.
"That's it? We just sit back and wait for Vile to unleash something horrible on the world? No wonder the Earth has lost faith in its police force. How are the five rangers?" Andros snapped.
"The phantom ranger is showing remarkable signs of recovery, as is Mike and Billy. The rest are on their way. In 24 hours they all will be able to return to action." Kat walked in. "But there are side affects. I'm afraid the Trey's genetic makeup was not fully compatible with M-51, and he may be dying. Also Zhane seems to be slightly different, he seems to be angrier."
"Oh right." TJ replied. He seemed unmoved by this statement.
"Trey's dying, I can't believe it." Z shook her head.
Alarm bells sounded. Boom came running in.
"There's a green ranger on the loose." He panted.
"A squad get onto it. It seems Vile has a new user for the coin. Space rangers stay here." Cruger barked.
"Please. We're not S.P.D., you don't order us around, we're going to the ship." Carlos shrugged.
"As you wish. I think I'll join you A squad, this ranger might be tough." Cruger replied.
"S.P.D. Emergency!" Sky shouted.
The rangers were driving to the scene. Cruger, Sky, Bridge and Jack on their bikes, the girls in the car. They found the green ranger, and some foot soldiers.
"We're taking you in." Cruger ordered.
"Unlikely." The ranger replied. The foot soldiers engaged the rangers. The rangers were swamped. Cruger managed to flip past them and get to the ranger.
"Shadow Saber!" He exclaimed as he unsheathed his sword. The green ranger pulled out his dagger. The two engaged in swordplay. After a while, Cruger was winning, he had knocked the sword out of the other ranger's hand and had him pinned against a wall. He heard a shout behind him.
"Cruger!" Jack shouted. Cruger looked behind to see that the rangers were being swamped and overpowered. He took off ad started beating the soldiers off the rangers. The green ranger took this as an opportunity and made a move.
"Dragon cycle!" he shouted and a green motorbike appeared in front of him. He got on it.
The Astro Megaship appeared over them and the hatch opened. The S.P.D. rangers ran up the hatch and demorphed. The space rangers were there, along with the original Tommy Oliver.
"Hey guys." He smiled; he was getting on, in his mid thirties. "I hear we got some green ranger to catch." The ship raced after the bike, the dragon cycle was fast, very fast.
"Unfair, I never got that." Tommy shook his head.
"Oh, so it's not all green rangers that get bikes?" Jack laughed. Bridge and Carlos laughed too.
"We're closing in, who's the lucky sod who gets to go in and stop him?" Andros laughed.
"I'll go." Both Cruger and Tommy said in unison. They both had something personal against him; Cruger for beating him, and Tommy for using his powers.
"Both go?" Sky asked. Both Cruger and Tommy nodded.
"S.P.D. Emergency!"
"Dino thunder power!"
The two rangers ran down the hatch. Andros had managed to blast the bike down so the green ranger was on the run.
"Come on then greenie. It's time to meet your maker." Tommy shouted. The green ranger turned round. He ran up and jump kicked Tommy square in the face. Tommy swayed in an attempt to regain balance. Cruger defended him. He took his sword and slashed the green ranger across the torso. Tommy regained his balance. He ran in and kicked the green ranger out of the way. This continued for a while. Until Cruger got a call on his morpher, Tommy defended him whilst he took it.
"Cruger, dive to the left now! Tell Tommy to do the same." It spoke.
"TOMMY! DOWN NOW!" He shouted as he dived and pulled Tommy down. Two shots came from the hovering Megaship, the green ranger fell over. Tommy picked him up and pulled his helmet off. It was Rito Revolto.
"Dad told me that crossing my power with this would make me invincible" He wheezed. Cruger arrested him and took his power coin. They hauled him up to the ship; Sky took him to a locked room for confinement until they could get him back to S.P.D..
"Why did you shoot him? I could've taken him out." He asked Andros.
"We didn't have a lot of time for egos. I know you're strong, but we needed him in as soon as possible." Andros replied. Tommy looked unhappy, and not just left his morpher in his jeans pocket and washed it unhappy.
