Chapter 4

Forgiving Reunion

Well guys. It's time for the fourth chapter and a long awaited reunion. But before that, I must correct a mistake from the last chapter. I stated that Lincoln had a sister missing. This was in reference to Charlie and the A-Squad going missing which hasn't happened yet. I apologize for such a stupid mistake and will endeavor to do better in the future. With that out of the way, on to the reviews.

LathonKAdkins: See opening apology.

corpuzevan4: Thanks.

1049: See opening apology.

jster1983: A Power Ranger must be the bigger man.

Mr. Haziq: No, she just used it as a baseline for the Delta Squad Megazord's speed and she's working on somthing way different than S.W.A.T Mode.

Joanne Frances Tianp Cajilig: Glad to add to your enjoyment.

Shaeril McBrown: I still watch it.

DragonEmperor999: Thanks.

And now, my friends... Let's kick it up!

In the back streets of the Newtech slums, a young boy with shoulder length red hair clad in tattered clothing was walking down a dark alley before being pulled in to the shadows by a hand with suction cup fingers and pulled off the ground to see an alien with large pink beaked face with large tentacles on the side and tubes growing out of the back of his neck.

"Well?" The alien asked before the boy nervously lifted his hand before a handful of jewelry fell in to his hand. The alien then pulled the gem from the boys hand and threw him to the ground. "Next time, bring me more." He said before signaling for the boy to go in to the small disheveled building behind him.

"Well, well. The mighty Bugglesworth forced to using a child to get by." The alien heard before turning around to see Broodwing coming out of the shadows.

"Broodwing. To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" The alien asked before Broodwing handed a small device to him.

"Same deal as the last time Gruum hired you. Only, we'll need a fair bit more this time." Broodwing said before Bugglesworth looked over to where the boy was sitting.

"Oh don't worry. I think I have just the plan for that." Buggleswoth said with a malicious voice.

(At the Delta Base)

Lincoln walked in to the lab to see Lisa running some diagnostics on the Delta Runners as Boom was attempting to test a new canon weapon only for it do cause a small explosion that knocked him against a wall before Lincoln and Lisa ran up to the S.P.D gadget tester to help him up.

"You alright, buddy?" Lincoln asked as he and Lisa got Boom to his feet.

"Yeah. I'm good." Boom said while rubbing his shoulder and walking to the canon. "We need to find a way to reduce the recoil or you guys'll be pushed back even when morphed, this will knock you guys on your butts. He said as a robotic Dog walked up to him and popped an ice pack out of his mouth which Boom then took. "Thanks Rick." He said.

"Don't worry about it. You'll get it." Lincoln said before reaching in to his pocket. In the mean time, I have a bit of an under the table side project that I could use your help with." He said as he pulled out the box that Charlie had given him before leaving and a small piece of Paper. "Think you guys are up for it?" He asked.

"A bit archaic for my tastes. But it should be no issue." Lisa said with a smirk.

"Just be careful and take your time. This metal is extremely rare and and highly temperamental." Lincoln warned.

"Very well, big brother. I will see about creating this for you." Lisa said as she and Lincoln smiled at each other. Just then, the alarm started going off and Lincoln ran out of the lab to meat up with the rest of B-Squad in the command room. "What do we got?" Lincoln asked as a hologram of the current threat came up.

"His name is Bugglesworth. He's been off the grid for a while. He is known to take civilian population and shrink them down for a kind of collection. Under Gruum's employ, he drains the bio energy from them for fuel for Gruum's ship and weapons." Cruger explained to them.

"Then we gotta take this guy out quick." Ronnie Anne said, getting a nod from Lincoln.

"Alright. No time to waste, Rangers. Let's move!" He ordered as he andthe other four Rangers held up their Morphers up.

"S.P.D Emergency!" The Five called as they donned their suits and made their way to the garage and drove out of the base.

A short time later, Bugglesworth was in the middle of the city, shrinking helpless civilians before finally turning to blast a mother and her child only for Sky to bust out of nowhere and raise a forcefield to block a blast from the alien's tentacle as the rest of the Rangers arrived.

"Oh great. The Power Rangers. You'll be great in collection." Bugglesworth said before before throwing out a Krybot ball up as the robotic soldiers appeared.

"Sky, Ronnie Anne, go for him. We'll handle the Krybots." Lincoln ordered.

"Rodger!" Ronnie Anne and Sky confirmed as they went running at Bugglesworth in order to attack him, using Ronnie Anne's clones and Sky's forcefields to back the alien's blasts before finally reaching him and pulling their Delta Strikers to slice at him. Bugglesworth was barely able to fend off the assault from the Blue and Yellow Rangers before he received a hard kick to the gut.

"Stand down." Ronnie Anne said while holding her knuckle blaster at the criminal. Just then, Bugglesworth completely vanished from their sight.

"What the..." Sky began before he and Ronnie Anne saw Bugglesworth slapping and dragging off the young boy way and saying something that she couldn't make out as she tried to shoot at him with her knuckle blaster only for him to escape.

"What happened?" Lincoln asked as he no look shot the last Krybot while running over to his teammates.

"He got away. Teleported somehow." Sky explained, gaining a silent growl from the Red Ranger.

"We better get back to the base and tell the boss." Lincoln said as they powered down and made their way back to the Delta Base and upon arrival, briefed Cruger about the situation.

"So, you're saying there was no visible sign of visible teleportation when Bugglesworth escaped? Cruger asked.

"No sir. But I think I know why." Ronnie Anne said as she pulled out her Morpher and placed it in a slot on the computer to show the group images from her helmet cam. "I saw this kid being dragged away by Bugglesworth. I think he might have powers. More than likely he's a Grid Meta." She said.

"And it looks like he's not exactly happy to be working with this guy." Syd noted.

"So what do we do?" Sky asked.

"Well, if you ask me, we should find this kid first and then he can lead us to Bugglesworth." Bridge suggested.

"Good call. But how will we know that the kid will trust us? You have to be in a bad way to end up with a guy like that." Sky noted as Lincoln pulled out and looked at his Morpher for a moment before sighing.

"I think I might know someone." Lincoln said before making a call. "It's Lincoln. I need your help." He said.

A short time later, Lincoln was standing outside with Lisa and Lucy.

"I'm amazed that you were willing to call her after everything." Lisa noted to her older brother.

"What's important right now is that kid. Besides, between the suicide attempt and getting shot, any anger I had is gone and I'm just happy she's doing so well for herself." Lincoln said.

"Wait, how did you know about that?" Lucy asked, gaining a smirk from Lincoln.

"Did you really think that I haven't been keep tabs on you guys all this time?" Lincoln asked before a car rolled up. "And here's the good doctor now." He said before a brunet woman wearing a grey pair of pants, a white button up shirt, and a red blazer being held up by a black cane topped with a red circle with an orange spade in the center.

"Hi Lincoln." The brunet woman said in a awkward voice while avoiding making eye contact with the Red Ranger before suddenly feeling a hand on her shoulder

"It's good to see you, Lynn." Lincoln said with a kind smile on his face.

Several minutes later, the Loud siblings were standing together and looking at the helmet cam.

"I hate it when kids fall in with guys like this." Lynn said with her head shaking.

"Well, that's why we're here. To help get them." Lincoln said. "More specifically, you and her." He said as Lynn turned to see Ronnie Anne walking in.

"Hi Ronnie Anne." Lynn nervously said, getting nothing but a silent treatment from the Yellow Ranger.

"Alright look. The two of you are going to find the kid and get him in to protective custody while seeing if he knows where Bugglesworth is." Lincoln instructed, gaining a nod from both girls.

A short time later, Ronnie Anne and Lynn were in Ronnie Anne's Challenger.

"So." Lynn began before looking to the Yellow Ranger. "He told you what happened." She said, knowing there was no question of weather or not it happened.

"How... how could you treat your own brother like that?" Ronnie Anne asked, having to hold back tears at the thought of what happened.

"Trust me. I asked myself that more times then I cared to count. I hated myself for what I did. Even tried Brooksing myself a couple months after Lincoln left. But my ceiling fan gave way and I ended up committed. Eventually, I took it as a sign and decided to dedicate my life to doing better. That's basically ended up getting my MD. Between that and Lincoln becoming a Ranger, that at least puts some good to this." Lynn said as she squeezed the top of her cane.

"Maybe so. But still..." Ronnie Anne said before drifting off in to her own mind.

"He's back in your life now, Ronnie Anne. Don't waste this chance. You both deserve to be happy." Lynn said in a comforting tone that gained a small smile from the Yellow Ranger.

"You are good at your job, aren't you?" Ronnie Anne rhetorically asked as the two of them shared a quiet laugh before she looked up and saw the boy. "That's him!" She exclaimed as the two of them got out of the car, Ronnie Anne creating a few clones to cut the kid off if needed. "Hey wait!" She called out as she began running after boy with Lynn hobbling close behind.

The boy continued to run while using his powers to teleport several dumpsters in to her path only to be blocked by one of Ronnie Anne's clones.

"Please don't hurt me. I promise I won't use my powers again." The boy said in fear.

"Hey. It's alright. I'm not gonna hurt you. Ronnie Anne said as she reabsorbed the clone.

"Wh-what? You have powers? But Bugglesworth said that everyone with powers got locked up and that he was the only one who could protect me from that." The boy said.

"You call that protection?" Lynn asked as she walked up and pointed out the bruises that were clearly caused by Bugglesworth. "What's your name?" She asked as the boy answered with the name 'Samuel'. "Well, Samuel. I can promise you that this guy Bugglesworth is just using you for your powers and he's hurting a lot of people with them.

"And I'm gonna keep doing it one I'm done with you!" Bugglesworth said as he came out of nowhere and blasted at the girls only for Ronnie Anne to create clones to take the blasts.

"Samuel, stay behind Dr. Loud." Ronnie Anne said as she stepped forward with her Morpher raised. "I'm gonna enjoy this way more than I should." She said before Morphing and running at the alien.

(Back at the Delta Base)

Bridge, Sky, and Syd all ran in to find Lincoln watching a live feed of Ronnie Anne's fight.

"Alright, guys. Let's get going. Lincoln said as the four raised their Morphers.

"Wait!" Boom shouted as he ran in holding a small drive and handing it to Lincoln. "Put this in your Morpher, the upgrade will signal to the rest of them." He said as Lincoln put the drive in and a series of plans flashed on the screen of his Morpher.

"Got it. Syd, load Rick up in the Delta Rover and let's move!" Lincoln ordered before he and the others Morphed and went out to help Ronnie Anne.

(Back at the fight.)

"Delta Rifle!" Ronnie Anne called as she combined her Delta Striker and Knuckle Blaster together and used the focused blast from her rifle to blast off Bugglesworth's tentacle. "Let's see how you fight without the chance to shrink someone.

"He won't get the chance." Syd called as she punched Bugglesworth in the back of the head before Sky and Bridge used their Delta Strikers to slice the alien and Lincoln jumped forward with his Delta Blasts and fired at the perp.

Up above, Broodwing was watching the pounding that Buggleworth was suffering before growling.

"Useless. Maybe this will even the odds." Broodwing said before pulling out a remote and summoning a robot with a satellite on the top of its head which then beamed Bugglesworth in to the cockpit.

"Kat! We need the Zords." Lincoln said over the coms.

"Delta Runners are in bound Rangers." Kat said as the Zords came driving in. The Rangers then jumped in to the Zords.

Bugglesworth's Zord attempted to raise its hand to blast the Rangers. However, Lincoln and Ronnie and were too quick, Lincoln using his Zord to get Ronnie Anne's on an angle slice the robot's weapon.

"Okay, guys! Blind and bind!" Lincoln ordered as Syd used the flash of her Zord to blind Bugglesworth while Sky and Bride used the cuffs and police tape of their Zords to tie it up. "Let's finish this! Delta Squad Megazord!" Lincoln called as the Zords combined before pulling a handgun out of its green leg.

"Delta Magnum! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Fire!" The Rangers called together as the Robot was destroyed and Buggles worth fell to the ground before the Rangers jumped down in front of him with Ronnie Anne pointing her Morpher at him.

"Bugglesworth. You are charged with kidnapping, conspiracy, terrorism, murder... and child abuse. Judgement!" Ronnie Anne called as the alien was found guilty.

"I think its time to test our newest weapon." Lincoln suggested.

"Agreed. Rick!" Ronnie Anne called as she threw up a metal bone that Rick jumped up and grabbed before two large barrels attached to it,

"Canine Canon! Strike out!" The Rangers called before Ronnie Anne fired the cannon on confinement mode and trapped the alien in a confinement card and gaining a "Gotcha." from Ronnie Anne.

"Next time, Rangers." Broodwing said before flying off while down bellow, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne looked over to Lynn and the three of them shared a nod.

A short time later, the Rangers and Lynn returned to the Delta Base to brief Cruger on what had happened.

"You all did quite well today Rangers." Kruger complimented, making the Rangers feel great pride in their success. Ronnie in particular was happy, knowing what normally happens to guys who hurt kids in prison.

"What about Samuel?" Lynn asked.

"Not to worry Dr. Loud. The boy will be safe here and S.P.D will pay for all of his needs." Cruger confirmed.

"That's good to hear." Lynn said before leaving the command room with Lincoln deciding to follow her.

"Hey, Lynn. The guys and I were gonna go get dinner and drinks at Midnight Trouble and... I'd really like if you came with us." Lincoln said as he heald his hand out to his older sister and after a brief moment of thought, she took his hand and the two went to enjoy a meal with the rest of the Rangers as well as Lisa and Lucy.
