Stuck In The Middle
Bridge woke up alone as usual but as it had been since Jack had taken the Red Morpher their was no breakfast, sighing Bridge got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to shower. He stripped down lent against the sink as he looked in the mirror, Bridge's eye were sunken, large black bags were visible, his completion was pale and sickly.
Sighing he opened the cupboard and pulled out his pills, taking two he swallowed them then got into the shower. He appeared in the Command Centre dressed immaculately and his bags and his completion had been hidden behind make up.
Sky barely noticed Bridge enter until he took Sky's hand secretly under the console, Sky turned and smiled at Bridge who gave him a weak one back before letting go. The door whooshed open as the Ranger's fell into a salute as Cruger took his place in front of them.
"There has been a number of reports of car thefts in the Parkington Market area" said Cruger as the Hollow-imager in front of them showed the area as Sky grumbled.
"We are all aware that Cadet Tate's personal bike was stole from the Parkington High-rise Car Park a few days ago" said Cruger as Jack chuckled along with Syd and Z.
"I want you to head out and investigate it dismissed" growled Cruger as they saluted and headed out to their vehicles.
"You riding with me Bridge?" asked Sky as he held out the spare helmet.
"Yeah, ignore Jack Sky. He doesn't know what your bike meant to you" said Bridge as Jack and the others head to the Jeep.
"Only you Sky could get his bike stolen from a market place while in an SPD uniform?" laughed Jack as Sky stormed over and threw Jack against the Jeep but let go when Bridge got between them.
"Someday Jack you will think before you talk, Sky's embarrassed enough about it being stolen but now he also has to explain to his Da that it's gone. FYI Jack that bike belong to his Dad, so leave him be he's beating himself up enough" growled Bridge as he got on the back of Sky's SPD bike.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As they roared though the streets Sky was still fuming and broadcasting so loud that it was affecting Bridge's mood. Bridge just closed his eyes and waited for the bike to come to a halt, as Sky got off the bike he missed Bridge's dizziness. Waiting for the nausea and headache to pass Bridge blamed it on his helmet as Jack just shook his head.
As his headache calmed down he sensed something as he looked up to see Jack and Sky going at each other.
"Guys" said Bridge as he was ignored
"GUYS" yelled Bridge as the Rangers turned to him.
"they are here" said Bridge as he pointed to two aliens approaching them.
"Hide" yelled Z as they all took different places.
"Squad leader do we move in?" asked Sky over the Coms as he kept one eye on the thieves and the other on Bridge, something was off about his lover but he didn't know what?
Syd, Z and Bridge took off after the thieves while Sky and Jack collided with each other.
Sky growled when there was no answer and Sky could see the thieves getting ready to take the car and he wasn't the only one.
"Freeze SPD" yelled Syd as she jumped up from behind the Jeep they were stealing.
Bridge suddenly found he was alone as he collided with one of the thieves, struggling with him Bridge was thrown shoulder first backwards into a stack of packing creates. Pain shot though his shoulder as Bridge figured he'd dislocated it as he cuffed the guy and dragged him back to the Jeep.
Bridge growled in pain and anger as he came closer to the Jeep and was hit by Sky and Jack's emotions, throwing the guys into the Jeep and cuffing him down to the seat. Jumping onto the back of Sky's bike he waited for his lover to huff back over before they took off back to SPD.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sky and Bridge took the thieves to the cells while Jack had to report to Cruger and the girls to their rooms, Bridge bite down on his lip as he hide the pain. He watched Sky who was unaware of Bridge's injury until one of the thieves pushed back to fight and wrenched Bridge's shoulder.
Bridge screamed on in pain as Sky put up his Force Field over Bridge while he forced the thieves into the Cell, locking it down he help Bridge up.
"Bridge?"
"I'm fine just help me back to our room" said Bridge coldly as Sky helped him up and back to their room.
Laying his jacket down on there bed Bridge headed into the bathroom. He locked the door pulling off his SPD shirt he hissed at the anger bruise forming on his shoulder. Patching up his shoulder and taking some pain killers Bridge pulled on his shirt and found Sky still sat on their bed.
"Sit" said Sky as Bridge sat on his own bed.
"I'm…"
"Show me" said Sky as he came over as sat next to Bridge.
Sighing Bridge pulled off his shirt and flinched as Sky hissed and touched his shoulder.
"Come on your going to see Dr Felix now" said Sky as Bridge was about to argue when they were interrupted.
'Will A & B Squad Rangers report to Command Centre'
Bridge took off quickly causing Sky to sigh and follow, suddenly all the alarms started going off.
"what's going on?" asked Z as A-Squad ran passed
"It's code 5" said Sky
"Is that bad?" asked Z
"Put it this way Code 3 is bad" said Bridge as they all headed into the Command centre
"where's A-Squad…."
"what's up commander?" asked Sky as they entered.
"a full scale attack has been launched against our federation in the Helix nebula" said Cruger as an image was going round the Hollow-imager.
"Emperor Gruumm leader of the Troobian empire"
Eww a serious contender for one of those make up shows" added Syd as Z laughed
"he's merciless and will stop at nothing to concur what he sets out too"
"the Helix Nebular?" asked Sky
"That is just the beginning, he's after this galaxy" said Cruger
"you sound like you know him?" asked Z confusedly
"our Paths have crossed before, he travels with one other but she is a tricky one. She takes one of two forms but both are just as dangerous" said Cruger as the image changed to that of a young girl and a woman in her twenties.
"These two are the same person, the child is Mora. Her childlike innocence hide her darker evil. She is as evil as Gruumm but her Child's mind make her think differently, Morgana on the other hand is the true form.
She was the daughter of a farmer who was unfortunate to come into contact with the remains of the evil creature known as Ivan Ooze, she was infected by the evil and picked up by Gruumm not long later. I've set A-Squad to the front lines" said Cruger
"A-Squad is gone?" asked Sky
"who going to protect earth?" asked Z
"You with Cadet Landors as your leader…where is he?" asked Cruger as the door whooshed open and Jack walked in wearing only his Pyjamas.
"What's; with the alarms?"
"not much just an alien invasion of galactic proportion" said Syd sarcastically
"Oh?" said Jack still half asleep
"now that A-Squad is on a mission your going to have to reasonability of leading B-Squad very seriously, do you understand?" growled Cruger as Jack just looked at him.
"yeah Ok I get it" complained Jack
"Carry on" said Cruger as they all left
"Later Guys" said Boom as Bridge waved to him, suddenly Bridge felt a hand on his good shoulder and him being pulled around.
"Sky?"
"We're going to see Dr Felix now if only just to report it ok?" asked Sky with concern in his voice as Bridge sighed and nodded.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sky and Bridge had just been cleared by Dr Felix when they ran into Jack and the others.
"Ah just the guys I was looking for?" said Jack as he gave them both their workout kits.
"Your going on a five mile run though the mud swamp, I thought it would be a good teambuilding exercise?" said Jack as he dismissed them as Sky grumbled then looked at Bridge.
"I'll be fine Sky it's only a run" said Bridge as he hugged Sky who wasn't sure but nodded and followed him.
The girls looked back and as Bridge passed them they looked at Sky.
"Don't ask that's his to deal with" said Sky as they all headed off to the course.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bridge could barely feel his shoulder anymore though the pain plus now his head was pounding too, he realised that that the headache was Sky's anger. He was going to say something when he saw Jack and suddenly agrees with his man.
Jack was sat on a lounger doing sod all as they all stood up covered in mud.
"hey welcome back, I didn't think you'd be done so soon how did it go?" said Jack as Sky growled
"how does it look like it went?" asked Syd as she showed off her clothes covered in mud.
"a little mud never hurt anyone?" said Jack from his seat.
Actually that's not true my uncle Bernie got a serous infection from sticking mud clumps up his nose" said Bridge as everyone looked at him
"he stood mud up his?…Never mind I thought you said you were going to meet us out there?" said Z as Jack just engorged her.
"Hello Red Ranger here, what do you think I was doing laying round reading comic books all day?"
"Wouldn't surprise me?" growled Sky as he looked at Bridge who was trying not to hold his arm.
"you've already missed Weapons class and a severance seminar" said Sky as Jack got up in his face.
"I didn't realise it was Blue Ranger's job to keep tabs on my whereabouts?" snapped Jack
"Ok I get that the mud run wasn't very fun and as expected you guys are a little edgy? Tell you what take five minute to get cleaned up before Martial arts class" said Jack as the others all growled
"What?……go! I'm trying to cut you guys some slack, fine we'll do it the other way…I'm Red Ranger and that's AN ORDER!!" said Jack as they all started to leave
"He's got no business being Red Ranger" said Sky to Bridge as he went to check his shoulder but Jack stopped him.
"I heard that…..think you could do a better job?"
"yeah but Cruger picked you, you maybe wearing Red but your not a leader" said Sky as he walked off to see how Bridge was doing.
Sky found Bridge sat on the floor of the shower holding his shoulder and crying, Sky stripped off and joined Bridge on the floor. Pulling him closer Sky checked over the now badly bruised shoulder.
"Sky?" said Bridge weakly
"yeah Bridge?" said Sky as he looked at his lover
"Can we go see Dr Felix?" asked Bridge
"Ok" said Sky as he help Bridge gently to his feet, Sky helped Bridge get cleaned up before they both headed to the Medical Bay.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bridge was absent from the command centre when Cruger called the next meeting.
"Ranger you must use the Delta Runners, it's time you moved to active Zord statues" said Cruger as the door whooshed open.
"Wow Zords as in actual Zords?" asked Bridge excitedly
"Ok I'm a little freaked?" said Z
"You've been trained" said Kat
"No sweat guys just follow me" said Jack cockily
"Wait! Before you go do you have full conference in Jack Landors as your leader? If you have reservations speak now since Bridge Carson current situation mean you are a Ranger down" said Cruger as finally they noticed that Bridge's arm was in a sling.
"Sir" said Sky as he raised his hand
"Figures he's just jealous that he's not the Red Ranger" said Jack
"Actually Jack Sky may have a problem with that but I'm the reason he's not happy. Ok it was my own fault for not speaking out but even Z and Syd had noticed something was wrong" said Bridge as he sat down next to Sky.
"nothing personal Jack" said Syd
"this is unreal? I can be a good leader tell em Z?" said Jack
"it's the truth Jack sorry" said Z as Jack looked pissed
"the team has spoken you are relived of duty and Ranger statues" said Cruger as the other tried to argue
"I've made my decision" said Cruger as he watched Jack hand over his Morpher suddenly the alerts went off.
"Go Ranger's" growled Cruger as Syd, Z and Sky took off to fight while Bridge and Jack watched.
Bridge was worried for Sky but couldn't help but bounce around at how cool Sky look in the Blue Delta Runner, after all he was the best pilot on earth.
"He's heading for the northern district" said Cruger over the Coms as Bridge watched.
"There getting schooled" said Jack as they took some nasty blows
"with no one to lead them their a strategically disadvantage" said Cruger
"But I was their leader" said Jack as Bridge snorted
"A true leader leads by example" growled Bridge angrily
"god I sound like Sky" said Bridge as he sat back down.
"Cadet Carson's right did you set that example?" Cruger asked as Jack sighed and shook his head.
"No I was to busy taking advantage of my position, so busy I missed that my team mate was seriously injured and in pain" said Jack with a sigh
"no offence sir but I don't belong here?" said Jack
"were is it you belong Cadet?"
"out there with my team, I am their leader I should be leading them" said Jack as Cruger looked at Bridge who sighed
"he can't lead them from in here sir?" said Bridge as he got up
"where are you going Bridge?" asked Jack
"Injured or not you can't make The Delta Squad Megazord without me?" said Bridge as Jack nodded and they headed to the fight.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Back at the Commander Centre after the battle Cruger spoke.
"so you are all sure you trust Cadent Landors to lead your team?" asked Cruger as Z stepped forward.
"I admit that his ego got in the way but deep down Jack's a good guy" said Z as Syd stepped forward
"plus we could never have made the Megazord without him?" said Syd as Bridge step forward
"that's true or we'd be walking round without a head" said Bridge as Sky just gave him a look and shook his head.
"and what about you?" asked Cruger as he looked at Sky.
"Truly Sir, we need a leader like it or not? As to whether I trust him or not? Only time will tell? For now he's got a lot to make up for?" said Sky as he looked at Bridge.
"Understood Cadet Tate, dismissed Cadets" said Cruder as Bridge and Sky left together.
"want to eat?" asked Sky
"Sky go the Gym will you, I'm fine the Doc pain meds a cool I'm going to sleep for a bit" said Bridge as Sky smiled and kissed him.
"Later Bridge I owe you a bath and a massage" said Sky as Bridge smiled
"I'll hold you to that later" laughed Bridge as Sky saluted him and left.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bridge was laid on his bed reading when their door went, knowing Sky could get it Bridge gave the command to open and was shock to see Jack.
"Can I come in? asked Jack as Bridge signalled for him to sit, Jack sat on Bridge's bed.
"I came to apologise Bridge, I was so pig headed that I chose not to see you were injured. I swear that I'll never do that again, if I do Sky can kick my ass ok?" asked Jack as Bridge smiled
"Ok"
"we good?" Jack asked
"yeah though running that mud course would help thing between you and Sky" said Bridge as Jack nodded and left.
