I do not own Power rangers SPD. Disney does.

The only thing I do own is my character Emma.


"Should we wake her?" Z wondered.

"She can't be comfortable." Sky voiced.

"Actually, I can be." I said, keeping my eyes closed.

"It's time for supper." Z said. I opened my eyes.

"Fine." I rolled to my side and at up. Z helped me to my feet. I put my bookmark in my book and put it back into my room. Sky and Bridge were finally back from their time off. We got supper and sat down.

"We heard what happened." Bridge said.

"I knew something was going to happen." Sky added.

"You thought I was going to mess up." I told Sky. "You still don't trust me."

"No, I don't trust the Dark Wizard." Sky stated simply.

"No, you don't trust her." Syd and Z said in unison.

"Ok," Sky said. "Maybe I feel that it's a little soon for her to be doing solo patrols."

"Kat and Cruger don't think so." I stated. "You did fine with me in charge when the Dark Wizard was going back in time. You trusted me then, didn't you?" Sky was silent. "Well, did you?"

"Maybe I did, but that was then, this is now."

"You shouldn't worry too much." I stated, eating my sandwich. "I'm almost as strong as the Dark Wizard, I can handle myself." Sky and Bridge looked at me confused. "You two haven't heard, have you?"

"Heard what?" Sky asked, confused.

"Not here." I said quietly. "Too many ears."

"Now I'm curious." Bridge said. The rest of our meal was quiet. We finished up and found ourselves in my tiny room, where we were alone.

"So, what's going on?" Sky asked. I explained to Sky and Bridge everything from my solo patrol to what Kat and Cruger said. Sky and Bridge listened carefully. "So, we have to keep this quiet." I finished. "We can't trust anyone."

"A mole inside our base." Sky shook his head. "Why does that not surprise me." I looked at Sky. "It makes sense after everything you said." Sky explained. "We would have been alerted if someone was trying to jam the computers from outside the base. It has to be someone on the inside."

"So, what do we do?" Syd wondered.

"Act like we know nothing and keep our eyes and ears open." I explained. "There is nothing we can do until we know more."


The next morning, I woke up and my back still hurt, but it wasn't as bad as yesterday. It was a pretty slow day for everyone. I met up with Dr. Felix for my evaluation. I didn't pass, but I was making an improvement. From there, everyone was doing their own thing. I followed the orders that Dr. Felix gave me. I was resting, but not babying my back, and heating it when I could. On Monday, I was cleared for most of my trainings, but I still had to take it easy.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Kat asked. I nodded. "Alright. Begin." Kat said. Targets popped up and I started throwing magic. Kat put together a training for me. One to help me focus my energy and practice switching targets, so I don't have to freeze the training room. Each target had a certain element on it and that was the element I was to use to hit the target. I started with 60 targets. That was ten targets for Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Ice, and Light. Once we were finished, I was out of breath and sweating. I haven't used my powers in that way before and it was exhausting.

"What was my time?" I asked Kat after catching my breath.

"3 minutes, 20 second." Kat said. "40 targets hit."

"What 20 did I miss?" I asked, disappointed.

"You lost focus towards the end." Kat stated. "You missed four Air, six Light, three Water, two Fire, two Earth and three Ice." I sighed and stretched.

"Let's do it again." I said, preparing myself. Kat put her hand on my shoulder.

"Your powers drain your energy and because you just had to focus on switching your powers in an instant, your energy level will be low" Kat explained. "This is the first time we have done this training; it will take time." Kat removed her hand. "Besides, you still have to take it easy."

"Why is it that my powers drain my energy, but the others don't."

"They don't use their powers like you do." Kat stated.

"Come to think of it...Z and Syd only use their powers when we fight Troobians or on a mission, and more Z than Syd."

"They use their powers when the situation calls for it." Kat explained. "Your powers can be used in any situation at any given time.

"But why?" I wondered. "That's still the question I have asked myself for quite some time."

"We don't have the answer for that." Kat stated. "And I'm not sure we ever will." We started back inside. I suddenly felt lightheaded and dizzy. I stopped and leaned up against the wall.

"Whoa..." Kat turned and looked at me.

"Everything alright?"

"I just got super lightheaded." Kat urged me to sit down and I didn't fight her. I sat down on the floor.

"This is most likely a side effect from using your powers like you did." Kat explained. "It should subside with training."

"And to think, I wanted to keep going." Kat smiled.

"Lucky for you, all you have left today is schooling." Kat said.

"Why do I, of all people, go to school year-round?" I asked. "Normal schools have a summer vacation."

"If we keep moving at the pace we are going, you could be done with school within a year and a half or two." I stood up.

"I would have tried a lot harder if you had told me that months ago."

"Go rest. I will see you later tonight." I nodded and headed to the lounge to rest.


And rest I did. I took a nap and then ate food with the other rangers. After eating, I headed to my schooling with Kat. I started learning about genetics in science. I seemed to pick that up quickly. However, I wasn't sure where my powers fit into all of this. Math was the same old stuff. History was just repeating. English was interesting. Kat had me start reading some old school books that I didn't get into very well. Kat made me write books reports on them. You know how it goes. What was the authors reason behind the story? What is the main concept one is supposed to learn from the story? I have tried to convince Kat that my books are much more interesting and have a lot more to offer with background of the main story, but she waved me off.

After class, I went back to the lounge and started working. Always math first, science second, History third and English last. Luckily for me, I did most of my boring English homework on restriction. So, when Sky asked if I could handle playing some light ball, I couldn't refuse.


I was fully cleared the next day. I headed off to the training room. As I walked towards the training room, I noticed Marcus training. I walked in as he got frustrated.

"Hey." I said, standing at the doorway.

"Hi."

"I just wanted to apologize on how I acted the other day."

"Nah, it's fine."

"No, it's not." I told him. "I always felt as if I am being used, and I just couldn't handle it."

"I didn't look at your perspective." Then there was silence.

"What are you working on?"

"Sky wants us to practice combat fighting."

"Of course, he does." I smiled. "The punching bag is a fine opponent, but fighting against me is better."

"I couldn't."

"You can and you will." I said, getting in battle stance.

"Alright." Marcus hesitated, but got into battle stance as well. Marcus went for a punch, but I quickly blocked and flipped him over. "Ow..."

"Told you I was a better opponent than the punching bag." I smiled, helping him up. "You thought too long. I saw what you were planning."

"Wow, you sure know a lot about fighting for being a new ranger."

"I've been a ranger for a year. I had a lot to learn." I explained. "I didn't let my age or my status influence how I trained. I trained as if my life depended on it." I chuckled. "But I also didn't have much choice."

"Will you help me?" Marcus asked. "I want to at least pass."

"Yeah." I said with a smile. "But first lesson, don't think about what you're going to do, just do it." I stated. "Instinct."

"Alright." Marcus got ready and I got into stance.

"Let's begin."


I returned to the lounge, grabbed my laptop and my review homework from my room and sat at the counter. I started my math while my computer booted up. I finished my math homework and opened my email. I started replying to emails when the alarms went off. I quickly closed my laptop and hurried to the Command Center.

"Commander?" I asked. I was the only one around.

"Troobians in the Northern District." Cruger stated. "Where are the others?"

"That's what I would like to know." I said.

"Be careful." Cruger said. "I will contact the others." I nodded and hurried out. I arrived at the scene and threw a blast of ice at the troobians before they noticed me. I started fighting, eventually being joined by Z and Jack. We regrouped. "'Bout time you showed up." I puffed. "Where are the others?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing." Z said. We didn't speak until we finished the last of the troobians.

"Thanks." I said to Z and Jack.

"We need to find Bridge, Sky and Syd." Z said.

"It's unlike Sky not to be here." Jack pointed out.

"Let's head back to the Command Center."


"Commander, where was Sky, Syd and Bridge?" I asked.

"Shortly after I got a hold of Cadet Delgado, another disturbance arose in the warehouse district. Cruger said before Sky, Syd and Bridge entered.

"Everything under control?" I asked them.

"Think so." Syd said. "What was their motive?"

"The Dark Wizard has been trying to get the materials to fix, and update, his ship." I said. "We're just lucky enough to be able to stop him."

"Emma is right. We are lucky we were able to stop him." Cruger stated. "There is no doubt that he split up the team in hopes to wear us down." Cruger explained. "Good work today. Dismissed." The six of us left. Jack headed home while we headed back to the lounge. I took my seat back at the counter where my things were.

"We'll have to keep our strength up." Sky said "If the Dark Wizard is planning on separating us from the group, then we need to keep our strength up."

"Right." Syd, Bridge, Z and I agreed.

"I've got to meet up with Kat for magic practice." I said, putting my things away and leaving to meet up with Kat.


I will be adding to this story as often as I can. I have almost everything written, I just have to wrap up the ending!

If I am a little slow, i've been working on changing jobs, so I have been doing a lot of outside work!
