As soon as Jason got back to the police department, he rejoined Bulk and Skull who were finishing up the last of the tests.

"So, what was the monster?" Bulk asked in a whisper.

"A Vampirus monster," Jason answered.

"A vampire?" Bulk and Skull chorused.

"Boy, that sounds fun," Skull said sarcastically.

"Yeah, not very," Jason agreed. Then, they were called back into line.

"Men and women, you all did very well and I'm proud of you. Unfortunately, not all of you are going to be able to make it in due to the limited amount of openings. However, I don't want you thinking that just because you didn't make it this time, that you can't try again in the future. In fact, I encourage you to do so if you desire," Lt. Stone told them.

"Well, looks like Skull and I are out," Bulk muttered.

"That's not necessarily true," Jason reminded him in the same tone. The man continued, stating that everyone had a chance and that he wished them all luck and would let them know soon. Then, he dismissed them. Then, Bulk, Skull, and Jason left the police station and headed for the youth center. When they got there, the three went up to the counter.

"Hey guys, what can I get for you?" Richie questioned.

"Cherry Smoothie and a burger with everything but onions and peppers," Jason requested.

"Hey, that burger sounds good. I think I'll have the same," Bulk stated. "But could I get a Root beer Float instead of a smoothie?"

"Sure," Richie agreed. "And you, Skull?"

"I'm not too hungry. I'll just have a turkey sandwich and regular coke," the boy answered.

"Coming right up," he told them and went to the back to give the order as the others walked up to the trio.

"So Jase, how'd the last bit of training go?" Kimberly wondered.

"It went good. Bulk and Skull did really well too," Jason answered. Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Uh…that's great," Zack finally said.

"Wow. I…didn't know you guys were trying to join the Junior Police Patrol," Aisha said.

"Well, we didn't want to say anything in case we didn't make it too far," Bulk admitted. And if I had bombed out, I didn't want to see your look of disappointment, he thought to himself.

"Well, you have," Jason declared.

"And I bet you get in," Aisha predicted. Bulk smiled. Richie came back with the orders.

"Hey guys," he greeted. "Where's Rocky?"

"He got bit during the fight," Trini answered in a low tone.

"Bit?" Richie, Bulk, and Skull chorused, barely remembering to keep their voices down, as Justin, Hilary, Zane, Tina, Chris, Angela, and Curtis came up. Bulk and Skull stared at each other remembering what Jason had said about the monster.

"Who got bit?" Angela asked.

"Rocky," Zack answered.

"What, you guys were fighting a vampire?" Tina asked quietly.

"Vampirus monster," the Rangers answered.

"Oh," the others said.

"Is there an antidote?" Hilary asked.

"Alpha and Zordon are looking for it right now," Tommy replied. In the Command Center, Alpha had locked the coordinates in and had teleported himself to the planet. With a shriek, the Vampirus monsters darted for him as the robot rushed towards a tree that held the potion. From the Command Center, Rocky hissed and snarled as he watched the robot dodge the other creatures.

"Kill! Kill!" he breathed. He hissed excitedly. Then, his eyes narrowed as he saw the robot get the potion he needed and teleported back to the Command Center. Alpha pressed a button on the console.

"Yeah, Alpha, what's up?" Tommy asked.

"We have the antidote. Come to the Command Center right away," Alpha instructed.
