This chapter and the next are based on the episode 'He Blasted Me With Science', but are written using a detailed synopsis of the episode, so most of the dialogue will be original as well as some original scenes.
Chapter VII – He Blasted Me With Science Part I
"Quieten down! Quieten down!" shouted Mr. Burley as he walked around the class handing out sheets of paper, "This is a Pop Quiz on everything we have done in the last two weeks, you have 45 minutes. Begin!"
With this he walked to his chair behind his desk and sat down.
Jake leaned forward to whisper to Noah, "Dude, I hate Pop Quizzes! Why does he make us do them?"
"Calm down Jake!" said Noah, turning around, "You know it all, just write it down."
Jake sighed but sat back down and began to write at breakneck speed. At the same time Mr. Burley picked up a Rubix Cube from his desk and began to try and solve, with little success.
On the other side of classroom Troy was sat next to Jordan, Kitty and Lucy as well as being sat behind Gia, Emma and Tom. As Troy wrote his mind wandered back to the confrontation with one of Malkor's goons earlier that morning on his jog.

Troy ran through the woods, jumping over roots and logs and avoid tree trunks when suddenly a large blast of red light hit the ground, throwing up smoke. Once it had cleared Troy could see that it was Creepox.
"Hello Red Ranger," spoke the monster.
"You!" hissed Troy, assuming a fighting stance.
"I'm here to destroy you, Troy Burrows, or should I say Troy Oliver," taunted Creepox, "Which one are you really?"
Troy frowned, "I won't fight you, we humans are stronger than we look!"
"A misguided belief," spoke Creepox, "We can finish this later!"
With that Creepox once again became a beam of red light and shot back up into the heavens.

Back at the class both Gia and Jake had finished their Pop Quizzes and they both stood up to hand them in, Noah staring at the back of Jake confused as Jake didn't usually complete the quiz within the time limit, let alone early.
Both the Yellow and Black Rangers reached the desk at the same time and Jake took a step back to allow her to put her paper down first. Jake then placed his paper and followed Gia, who was leaving the room.
Ten minutes later the bell sounded causing the now sleeping Mr. Burley fall out of his chair and onto the floor. The hoards of student stamped to place their paper on the desk and leave the room. Once they had left Noah stood and walked over to the desk. He bent down and helped Mr. Burley to his feet.
"Oh, thank you Noah!" spoke Mr. Burley as he picked up the papers from the desk and left the room.
Once he had left Noah noticed Mr. Burley have left his scarf behind. It was on the floor so it must have been knocked there when Mr. Burley woke up.
As Noah bent down to pick up the scarf he felt his glasses slip and before he could stop them they fell off and hit the ground with a smash.
"Shit!" exclaimed Noah as he picked up his broken glasses and the scarf, stuffing the latter into his bag.
He turned around quickly and lost his balance. Noah stumbled backwards and hit the wall accompanied by the sound of ripping.
Noah looked down at his jacket and saw a giant rip. "That's just brilliant!" exclaimed Noah sarcastically.
Noah sighed and pulled off his now ruined jacket. He angrily stuffed it in his bag and placed his broken glasses on. They would do until he reached his locker; he usually kept a spare pair in his locker, even though most of the bullies had lost interest in him.

High above the surface of Earth, the giant Warstar Imperial Ship floated. On board Vrak was stood, looking down on Earth.
Then Malkor burst through the doors to the Command Centre and sat on the throne. Vrak couldn't believe his family had assigned him to babysitting the buffoon, Malkor, who was only attacking this backwater as a distraction for the rest of the Warstar Empire take other planets under their control.
"Vrak!" shouted Malkor, "Do you have anything for me?"
"Yes Admiral," answered Vrak, "Yuffo, he is a scientist; his research on humans would be useful to have."
"You suggest sending him down to study human?" clarified Malkor.
"Yes, he could also kidnap someone close to the rangers," said Malkor.
"Excellent idea, see to it at once," ordered Malkor.
"Yes, Admiral," spoke Vrak as he left the Command Centre to find Yuffo.

Stood at her locker was Gia, staring at her morpher, contemplating what she had got herself into.
Suddenly she her a shifting noise at her side that did not sound like Emma. Gia hurriedly slammed her locker door shut and turned to face the person next to her.
It was Jake; Gia sighed and glared at the Black Ranger.
"I nearly had a heart attack," said Gia, "I thought someone had seen my morpher."
"Umm, sorry," apologised Jake.
Gia's face softened a little and she spoke, "Its fine, just don't do it again."
Jake held up his hands in a sign of defeat.
"Good," smiled Gia.
"Sooooo..." said Jake, dragging out the word.
"Yes?" questioned Gia tiredly.
"Would you like to go to Ernie's for lunch?" asked Jake quickly, "Not as a date, I wouldn't do that. But as, err, friends-"
Gia smiled softly before hardening her face, "Sure, if you stop babbling."
Jake grinned broadly, "Cool, here I'll take your bag."
Jake picked up Gia's discarded bag from the floor and swung it over his shoulder.
"You okay with that?" asked Gia, "It's kinda heavy."
"I'm fine," assured Jake and the two rangers walked down the corridor, Jake chatting away.

Five minutes earlier, Emma, Troy and Tom all came out of Mr. Burley's classroom.
"Hey, sorry gotta run," said Tom as he set off running.
"Just don't be late for class!" called Troy after the Green Ranger's retreating figure.
"Where's he off to?" asked Emma as she and Troy began walking towards the cafeteria.
"I'm not really sure," answered Troy, "It's like he's searching for something."
The entered the cafeteria and began to fill their trays with their lunch.
"So, how come Gia never seems to eat at school?" asked Troy as he sat down at a table, Emma across from him.
"Urgh! It's the fact that about 99 percent of all the guys in this school are drooling over her," said Emma, "She just can't stand the attention."
"Must be tough," commented Troy.
"Yeah, you, Noah, Tom and Jordan are the only ones who aren't like that," continued Emma.
"Jordan?" questioned Troy.
"Jordan Scott," clarified Emma, "He's a really good martial artist. Ever since he saved a couple of girls from some Loogies last week there's been rumours going around he is the Red Ranger."
"Hmm," muttered Troy as he put a piece of pasta in his and looked like he was about to fall asleep.
"Troy, are you okay?" asked Emma.
Troy shook his head and opened his eyes, "Yeah I'm fine, so what do think about Jake's crush on Gia?"
"I think it's okay, Jake the first guy to like Gia for her personality, wait, stop changing the subject," spoke Emma.
"Fine, I've been having dreams recently, about a ranger war," admitted Troy.
"What happens?" asked Emma.
"Sometimes the rangers are fighting an enemy and sometimes it's each other. Sometimes the Rangers win, sometime they lose. Sometimes everyone lives, sometimes, sometimes, er, some rangers die," answered Troy.
"Oh," Emma looked surprised.
"I'd rather not talk about it," said Troy.
"Okay," replied Emma and the two resumed eating, Emma strictly vegetarian.

(Ernie's Brainfreeze)
Jake and Gia entered Ernie's and quickly took a free booth; they picked up the menus and began to read them.
"Hey Champ," said Ernie as he walked over to the table, pen and pad in hand, "What do you two want?"
"I'll have a burger and a strawberry shake," answered Jake with a grin.
"So the usual," joked Ernie.
"I'll have the same," replied Gia.
"The same for the pretty lady," spoke Ernie and winked at Jake.
Jake sighed and reached for his wallet, but he was stopped by Ernie.
"My little nephew doesn't have to pay here," ordered Ernie before walking back to the counter.
"Ernie is your uncle?" asked Gia.
"Yeah, I have a bit of a weird family," answered Jake.
"Really?" questioned Gia, as Jake seemed to be the most average boy in high school.
"Yeah, I live with my uncle Rocky, on my mother's side. My mother left when I was two and my dad was killed by a drunk driver when I was eight," replied Jake.
"Oh," said Gia, shocked.
As if sensing the awkward atmosphere Ernie arrived with their food. Gia quickly noticed Jake's plate had a lot more than ordered.
"You have Rocky's stomach, you don't stop eating," joked Ernie and again returned to his counter.
Both Gia and Jake dug into their food and as they did they chatted, mostly about school. Gia felt her being more frank and open than she had been with anyone other than Emma in years. Somehow Jake knew how to chip away at her layers and in a way she liked, but she wasn't going to let him know that.
