Four Years Later: New Tech City Year 2026
The SPD B-Squad team were being rewarded by the town hall for being their city protectors, stopping the world from evil, Commander Doggie Cruger, Dr. Katherine Manx, and Jack Landors were looking at them proudly as the rangers were smiling on, with everyone clapping at them, after it was over and they all left out of the building.
"I must say, I have never been so proud with all of you." Doggie said.
"Agree Commander, you all deserve those medals." Kat said.
"Well, what can we say, we have done a pretty good job keeping the city safe." Sky said.
"So you have, even if I'm not with you guys anymore." Jack said.
"For a minute we thought you weren't going to come." Z said.
"And miss you guys being rewarded, no way. Besides, you all have been doing good, especially with a great leader." Jack said.
"You were also great at it too." Sky said.
"Why don't we all go celebrate, it has been great day for us." Bridge said.
"Yeah. We should, I get to pick." Syd said.
"Please don't pick somewhere expensive." Z said.
"Agree. The last time you picked, tapped us all out." Bridge said.
"What. It had great reviews." Syd said.
"Jack. Would you like to join us?" Kat asked.
"Sure. Just like old times." Jack answered.
"Great. Let's go." Z said.
"You guys go ahead, I'll just head back." Sky said.
"What. Your not coming along?" Syd asked.
"I'm just not in the mood. That's all. Have fun." Sky answered, and left.
"What's up with Sky?" Jack asked.
"Who knows, he was fine earlier." Z answered.
"Don't look at me, I just mind my own business." Bridge said.
"There is nothing to worry about rangers, he just have things in his mind." Doggie said.
"Your probably right commander." Kat said.
Sky made his way back to the academy, and went to his room and took off the medal around his neck, then he opened his drawer and got something out, it was a picture of his mom and him when he was a kid.
"If only you can see me now mom, you would be so proud of me." Sky said, and put the picture away along with the medal in his drawer, then laid on his bed and decided to rest for a bit.
Sky came home from school, and saw his mom in the kitchen.
"Mom! I'm home!" Sky said.
"Hi sweetie. How was school?" Jen asked.
"It was good. I passed all my tests from each class." Sky answered.
"That's great. I'm so proud of you." Jen said and hugged her son, then looked at him for a minute.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Nothing. It's just...you look so much like your father." she answered.
"That much?" Sky asked.
"You almost remind me of him, I wish he can see you already." Jen answered.
"Did you ever know if grandpa had any pictures of him?" Sky asked.
"No. It's been a while since he passed away, I don't know if most of his things are still there at his house." Jen explained.
"I'm still a little curious to know how he looks like." Sky said.
"You always were ever since you were little." Jen said, and both laughed a little, then she suddenly started to cough a little.
"Mom. Are you okay?" Sky asked.
"I'm fine, it's just a cough. I might be coming down with something." Jen answered.
"Why don't you rest for a bit." Sky said.
"Sky. It's okay, I'll be alright." Jen said.
"If you say so." Sky said. "I'll be in my room doing my homework."
"Sure. I'll let you know when dinner is ready or when Alex and your sister come home." Jen said.
"Then, feel free to bring up dinner to my room, who knows I'll still might be studying." Sky said.
"Sky." Jen said, in a serious tone. "First it was your not hungry excuse when you were a kid, and now it's just you busy studying not coming down to eat. I don't get why your acting this way, you use to get along well with Alex so much. What happened?"
"I don't know, I guess I no longer need him anymore." Sky answered.
"How could you say that? You know he has always seen you as a son to him." Jen said.
"Things change, mom. In a few months I'll be eighteen, he won't have to worry about me, he'll have Andrea." Sky said.
"It doesn't mean he won't care about you anymore, he does care." Jen said, then she started coughing again, but it was hard for her to try and breath.
"Mom. Mom. What's wrong? Mom." he saw her then suddenly collapsed on the floor, and rushed to her. "Mom! Mom! Wake up! Please wake up! Mom! Mom!"
"Mom. Mom. Wake up. Wake up." Sky said, talking a bit in his sleep. "MOM!" he woke up suddenly with his heart beating fast and breathing hard. "It was only dream."
"Sky!" he heard his name and saw the door slide open seeing his friends had come in.
"We heard you screaming." Syd said.
"What happened?" Bridge asked.
"Are you okay?" Z asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine, it's just...I had a bad dream. That's all." Sky responded.
"It sounded more like a nightmare from how you screamed." Bridge said.
"What was it about?" Syd asked.
"You know you can tell us." Z said.
"It's nothing and I don't want to talk about it." Sky responded.
"Well, if you say so." Bridge said.
"Come on, guys, let's go get some sleep." Z said.
"You said it, I'm already tired." Syd said.
"Night Sky." they all said.
"Night." Sky responded, as everyone left out of Sky's room, he then laid back on his bed and felt a tear fall from his eye.
The Next Morning
The SPD rangers were enjoying their breakfast, when Sky came in and prepared himself some coffee then sat with the rest.
"Morning guys." Sky said.
"Morning." they all responded.
"Sleep well?" Z asked.
"Not really." Sky answered.
"Everything okay with you, Sky?" Syd asked.
"Yes. Why do you ask?" Sky answered.
"Well, yesterday you were alright earlier because of us receiving our medals, then afterwards you then started to feel bummed." Bridge said.
"Has something been bothering you?" Z asked.
"No. Everything is fine with me, nothing for you all to be concerned about." Sky said.
"Okay. If you say so." Syd said, when they heard being called by Dr. Manx and headed their way to the command center where Commander Cruger was waiting for them.
"Commander Cruger. We heard you needed us." Sky said.
"As a matter of fact yes, because I have something very important to tell you all." Doggie said.
"What is it? Trouble going on?" Z asked.
"Recently, something strange has been going on, but not here in New Tech City though in another part of town." Doggie explained.
"What do you mean?" Syd asked.
"There had been many reports of someone stealing very important machine materials." Kat answered.
"I'm guessing not even the police over there hasn't been able to capture this criminal." Bridge said.
"Correct. Which is why I had made contact with them after I have heard about it, and I told them that I have the best recruits for the job." Doggie said.
"You mean us?" Z asked.
"Yes. You are all going over there to stop and capture whoever is behind all of this." Doggie answered.
"Alright. This is just like a vacation, even though it's work also." Syd said.
"No worries commander, you know you have always counted on us." Sky said.
"And what is this place called to where we're going to?" Bridge asked.
"The town is called Silver Hills." Doggie answered, and Sky was surprised to know and walked out.
"What was that all about?" Syd asked.
"Why did he just walked out?" Z asked.
"The name of the town must have surprised him." Bridge answered.
"It did, because it's the town where Sky's from." Kat responded.
"He's from there?" Z asked.
"Yes. I thought he would have happy to know he would going back there." Doggie said.
"I don't think it was the reaction you expected, commander." Syd said.
"She's right. And you know why." Kat said.
"Indeed. Anyway. I suggest you all start packing as soon as possible, you will leave first thing in the morning, even let cadet Tate know." Doggie said.
"Yes Commander." they all responded.
"Thank you and dismiss." Doggie said, and the rangers left.
