Jeremy Shane: Here's more.

DISCLAIMER

Belongs to Haim Saban and Fox Kids. I only own the plot. I forgot to put it in the last chap, but they did put a splint on Kat's injured leg.

The Rangers braced themselves as the creature barreled through them. They groaned as they were knocked back.

"Well, this is fun, but I don't want to claim it all for myself," the beetle stated. Seconds later, Crangons appeared, flanking his right and left.

"Get them!" the beetle roared. The Crangons rushed at the Rangers. With intermingling cries, they spread out and blocked the Crangons' attack. The beetle monster watched as the Rangers fought the Crangons.

"And I am out of here," it cackled, and then disappeared.

"Whoa! Where'd it go?" the Rangers gasped.

"Aw, man. I hate it when they do that," the White Ninja Ranger groaned. In another section of downtown, people screamed as the monster trashed various buildings. Devin quickly pulled Cassidy into a secluded doorjamb of the cyberspace.

"Devin, what are you doing? We're missing everything," Cassidy snapped.

"Uh, Cass, I know you wanna be a famous reporter and everything, but I don't think you're gonna help your career any if that monster crushes you," Devin pointed out.

"Oh, you are such a wimp," Cassidy stated. Then, before he could stop her, she dragged him outside and forced him to set up their equipment and turn it on.

"This is Cassidy Cornell with Reefside News on scene with the latest monster attack," Cassidy said. She continued to talk as Mick guided civilians to safety. Man, I hope Katherine's okay, he thought to himself. He hadn't seen her since the Power Rangers had taken her to their Command Center. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a Reefside student talking into a microphone. What is she doing? he wondered. Didn't she realize the danger? With a sigh, he began making his way towards her. I don't believe this, he thought in slight irritation. They were in the middle of a crisis. What if she got herself hurt? As she continued talking, Cassidy saw an officer coming towards her. What is his problem? Can't he see that I'm working here? she thought. Without warning, sparks flew past her face! The girl screamed in surprise.

"Let's get out of here!" Cassidy exclaimed. With that, she and Devin took off in Mick's direction. The officer intercepted them and quickly took them towards a shelter. The monster threw electricity at the building. Sparks flew and the shelter's sign teetered. The trio froze. The sign wobbled.
