Authors Note:

Epp used - during Beginnings part 1

Thiers a few things I want to set up in this to explain in my own way,

1- Sky's obsession at becoming the Red Ranger is not just his desire to be like his dad (you will see why)

2 - I will try to explain how Bridge can touch Sky with his powers

3 - why if Jack & Z's parents were part of the Morpher project were they left on the streets when they died

4 - likewise with Sam and his powers

5- How Cruger met the original Rangers and set up SPD (I might do this as a pre-sequel)

6- Who Morgana/Mora really is

7- Who Nova really is

8 - is Kat really a ranger or not?

Joining Forces

The simulator session was over and as usual Bridge waited outside for Boom to be debriefing by Kat.

"Hey Bridge" said Boom as he bounced out after Kat

"Hey Boom we still on for later?" asked Bridge with his usual smile as they walked.

"Yeah Kat need's me to test some stuff first meet you in the Common Room Later?" asked Boom as Bridge nodded.

"Cool Later Bridge" laughed Boom as he raced back to the labs and tripped over RIC on the way.

"cool just the Dogbot I wanted to see, come on time for a tune up….well what I can do as a tune up but hopefully Cruger wont junk you just yet? It would help if you stopped pissing on him though?" laughed Boom as RIC growled.

"yeah I feel like that sometimes about the Big Blue Dog" said Boom as RIC followed him into the lab

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Bridge spent the rest of the morning looking for Sky who when he wanted to be could disappear without a problem, giving up about noon Bridge went back to their room and left a note when he ran into Syd.

"Hey Syd"

"Hey Bridgie, I hate first day on the new term I can never get any help" growled Syd

"What's up?" asked Bridge as he hit toast on the Food Syth

"my door is still sticking" growled Syd in so much of huff she stole some on Bridge's toast.

"Come on" said Bridge as he grabbed Syd and dragged her off to her room, after a few moments Bridge had fix the problem.

"Thanks Bridgie, so what now?" asked Syd

"now I hang round the common room till Sky shows up and you can guess the rest?" laughed Bridge

"ah and who said romance is dead? Enjoy it now first day being off is fun but being B-Squad we have to make an example for the other so you and Sky are going to have to cool it" laughed Syd as Bridge looked hurt.

"Not like you to ever will" laughed a voice from behind them as Boom walked in arm in a cast.

"Boom did we do that?" asked Syd concernedly

"Nah you guys just dislocated my shoulder, I popped it back in and it's as good as gold" said Boom as he popped his shoulder making Bridge and Syd wince.

"anyway, this is Kat's new arm cast laser, cool huh?" said Boom as Bridge got up to look at it and Syd shook her head her 'Bridge and Boom trouble alert' was going off.

"Anyway I got to go so bye" said Boom before things started to go wrong.

"BOOM" bellowed a voice that made even Bridge jump, Sky walked in and shook his head at the mess.

"Clean up your mess" he yelled having had a bad day already, he'd run into Charlie in the Command Centre and was pissed off.

"Yes, sir. Sir…Which mess?" strutted Boom who'd become a little scared of Sky after the incident, after all he'd seen how far Sky would go for Bridge when he snapped.

"start with the last one you made and work backwards" said Sky with a sigh

"lighten up Sky Boom's a great guy. A little weird but a great guy" said Syd as Bridge nodded.

"Yeah well, someday our lives may depend on that great guy, and then what?" said Sky as he countered Bridge's move on the chessboard

"I know. I know then our lives will depend on him" said Bridge as tried to break the tension in the air, he hated that his two best friends (not to mention one of them been the love of his life) had come to hate each other so much.

"commander Cruger wants to see us. Now!" Sky said harshly as even Bridge cringed and Syd growled at Sky, she hated that he pushed Bridge away so easily though he clamed to love him so strongly.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

They were just rounding the corner of the command centre when A-Squad thundered passed they stood to attention but Sky didn't miss Charlie as she slammed into bridge on the way passed.

Bridge still wasn't comfortable round them and he could never remember why, so taking off his glove he tried to read the and get a better understating why what he saw disturbed him.

"even the girls are massive, what's wrong Bridge?" asked Syd as she saw his face.

"I don't know their energy…their colours… something's off?" said Bridge as both Syd and Sky shuddered, they knew never to question Bridge when he read peoples aurora he was usually right.

"Cadets I trust you've enjoyed your training here at SPD Academy?" asked Cruger as they stood before him, Bridge tried not to laugh as Syd went off on her usual one about the lights and uniforms.

"Not that your training has ended, or will it ever end while you're here but as your commander I must call up B-Squad to step up and take on new responsibilities" said Cruger as Bridge and Syd celebrated and Sky just sighed and shook his head.

"now Kat has a few things to give you so Dismissed" added Cruger as saluted and left for the labs.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Bridge bust out laughing as they entered the labs to see Boom trying to hold RIC down as Kat run new programs for his CPU, seeing Bridge made RIC leap up and race over to him before trying to lick him and growl at Sky at the same time.

"Hey Kat the big dog sent us" said Bridge as he petted his dog.

"yes here is you basic Patrol Kit, Cuffs, Blasters, judgment scanners and ID's take care of them. Syd you and Sky have your own vehicles for now until Bridge passes his Driver's ED classes" said Kat as Bridge blushed, he hated cars but loved riding on the back of Sky's bike.

"Sky here's the keys to you SPD bike, Bridge is cleared to ride on the back but I would advise against it, Syd you have the keys to the Jeep though once cleared Bridge will get a set too" said Kat as they all nodded and Sky looked over his bike. It wasn't as strong or fast as his own but it would do for now.

"your new assignment has been downloaded into the compute data base in your judgment scanners so good luck and congratulation cadets" said Kat with a smile as they took off into town, she sighed as Sky went passed the window with Bridge on the back of the bike.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I though new responsibilities meant kicking intergalactic freakazoid butt? All the data device says is bring in the Parkington Market thieves?" whined Syd as they walked though town

"It's code no doubt, what do you think it means?" said Bridge as he started to rub his head, things were getting a little loud in his head for him.

"bring in the Parkington Market thieves?" said Sky as he handed Bridge his pills and his water.

"You know Sky you are good" said Bridge as he kissed Sky after taking his pills, that's when he saw the two figure run pass and someone yelling.

"Out of the way, we don't want to hurt you" said the male as they stopped in front of Syd, Sky and Bridge

"Hurt us that's a good one?" laughed Sky as Bridge felt something familiar about the female

"Do I know you?" asked the woman but before Bridge could answer Syd spoke up.

"SPD, we'll take it from here"

"Thank you" said the grad as he went off for help

"You may not be coming in peacefully but your coming in" said Sky as something in his voice made Bridge's blood freeze. Then suddenly the young woman showed that she had power like they did.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

They all were pretty bruised up when they returned to SPD, the fight haven't gone as plan. Syd was worried that Bridge had taken one to many knocks to the head during it because he kept rubbing it.

"You underestimated your opponent and were soundly defeated" bitched Cruger as they stood before him.

"we are so not ready to be Rangers" said Syd sadly

"I'm ready" said Sky

"So it must have been Syd and I who let those two get way then?" said Bridge sarcastically towards his lover who was pissing him off as he shot Bridge a snotty look.

"listen to yourselves there is no team here, this is the issue you will have to overcome before you can become Power Rangers. two years ago we could not order you three apart and yet now here we stand and I hear arguing and discontent for each other.

You surprise me Cadet Tate that you could turn so easily on Cadet Carson when at one time you would have even argued me do to defend him" growled Cruger

"oh I get it we have to stop blaming, criticising and judging each other?" said Syd just as sarcastically

"you forgot to mention failing to bring in suspects" added Bridge as Sky growled at him and Syd agreed

"lets see that puts us right on schedule to be Rangers around……never!" said Syd with a shrug.

"you'll meet those two again" sighed Cruger

"Sir the civilians they had special ability like we do?" said Sky

"yes I know, Cadet Tate, come with me" asked Cruger as they walked out of the command centre and though the halls.

"Why Red Ranger Cadet?" asked Cruger as they walked

"Lots of reasons sir, I'm top on all my test scores. My weapons training and fight skills are second to none sir after all I was trained by the best. As you know my fathers were the Red Rangers and ever since I was a little kid I've trained for the day I become like my dad's." said Sky with pride.

"your fathers where the best of the best and I'm more then aware that you are what the cadets call 'Ranger Royalty' having been trained by the best of the best of the past Red Rangers. If your anything like them we will all benefit by your service….Dismissed"

"thank you sir" said Sky smugly as he left.

"Cadet if I was to appoint Syd as Red Ranger would you follow her into battle?"

"sir she's a girly girl!"

"or bridge?"

"I like Bridge, hell we've been dating for almost three years but in all honesty sir, he's not a leader. I should know" said Sky with a shrug

"I see thank you for your honesty Cadet, that will be all" said Cruger as Sky saluted and left him.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

When Sky arrived back at the room he and Bridge shared, Bridge was curled up on his bed with his back to the door.

"you haven't slept in this bed in a long time baby" said Sky as he lay against Bridge's back and put his arm round Bridge as he tried to kiss the back of Bridge's neck.

"Fuck you" growled Bridge as he pushed Sky off him.

"Bridge?"

"like you care? Like you even love me anymore? All you care about is becoming the Red Ranger like Wes and Eric and all the others, you stopped loving me when we became B -Squad I was just to stupid to see it" sniffed Bridge as Sky realise that Bridge was crying.

"You know I love you Bridgie" said Sky using the nickname Syd gave him.

"I've never stopped loving you, I'm sorry I've been a jerk to you but I promise I'll make it up to you. Once we've dealt with these street thieves what say you to us heading down to Turtle Cove for a few day? We can go see Merrick and Cole? I know you loved the Wild Zords and they loved you, one week no SPD, no Cruger just us want to?" asked Sky as Bridge rolled over.

"Promise?"

"On my dad's honour Bridge" said Sky as Bridge kissed him making Sky moan in pleasure.

"Wanna have some fun, see if my bed still works?" asked Bridge as Sky growled and jumped on him.

Outside Syd just shook he head and moved on, it was Bridge's life after all.

The next morning Bridge was wrapped up in Sky's arms sore and aching from the night before when Cruger's order came over the Coms groaning he pushed Sky out of bed and headed to the shower, freaking himself out as he ran into Syd with her face mask on.

Sky laughed to himself as he watched the two of them from the door of their room and suddenly he found himself thinking back two years to the life they all once had and sighing. He missed his friends and he missed the love of his life and he'd do anything to have it back again.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It had been over an hour since Cruger had called them to report and now the Ranger were bored and trying to amuse themselves which to all that knew them that was dangerous.

"YES, 55 times in a row!" cheer Bridge as he yet again beat Syd at rock, paper, scissors.

"it's not fair you're a telepath, Ok enough I'm officially bored to tears. We get called to report an hour ago, to who?" growled Syd

"Whom" corrected Bridge

"Never correct me again?" snapped Syd as Bridge pulled away.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little tense watching walk-a-thon boy wear a path in the floor" said Syd referring to Sky's pacing

"If you have a problem with it, Sydney make me stop?" snapped Sky

"ok, I may be a girl and I may be cute but no one…" Syd never finished as she leapt at Sky to do the one thing he hated…to tickle him.

When Cruger entered the command centre he watched as Bridge tried to hold back his fellow Rangers from killing each other.

"I trust your using this time to bond as a team?" asked Cruger.

"Yes sir"

"good come this way" said Cruger as they left and headed to Kat's lab, Bridge smiled at Boom as they entered and Sky growled at RIC who just growled back and peed on Sky's pants.

"Without going into detail Earth's survival dictates that I elevate your team to active statues. Any questions?" asked Cruger as Bridge who had a sinking feeling stood forward.

"yeah just one, did you say ultimate survival as in earth may be destroyed?" asked Bridge truly not wanting to hear the answer

"I did"

"Cadets you have spent the last two years in simulated training but this time the game is real" said Kat as she ran down the weapons and stuff with them.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Once again they found themselves hunting down their new friends the two street thieves and once again Bridge had a sinking feeling, not to mention he'd figured out where he'd see the female thief before and really didn't want to arrest her after she helped him but this was his life now and that was hers.
