Revelations of Silver
Chapter 2
Zek
The next morning Zechariah awoke from his sleep, his eyes barely open when he saw a blurry image of someone looking right at him. He opened his eyes allowing ample light to come in and saw Syd standing right over him.
"Hey good morning." She said sweetly.
"Morning." He groaned.
"Where am I?" he asked
"You're at SPD Earth headquarters. I'm Syd by the way." She said softly.
"Syd?" he asked.
"Mmm-hmm." She nodded.
"My name is Zechariah, but you can call me Zek." He said.
"That's a cute name." she said.
"Uh, thanks." He blushed. Syd smiled sweetly at him.
Meanwhile Sky stood outside the infirmary sulking. The Blue Ranger leaned against the doorpost arms folded, gritting his teeth.
"Stare any harder and you'll burn a hole in the wall." Z said from behind him.
He spun around to see the Yellow Ranger standing right next to him.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said.
"Right, course you don't." she winked at him.
"I'm just keeping an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't blow up the base when we're not looking." He said.
"Somebody's looking a little more green than blue." She said.
"I'm not jealous. Lousy no-good pretty boy, dropping out of the sky I have a good mind to…" he muttered to himself.
"Right, well I'm going to leave you two alone. You and your ego need to cool off. She said before walking off.
"May I suggest a cold shower?" she added.
Sky turned around as she headed down the hall.
"I am not jealous!" he yelled.
"You just want to get in her pants." She said.
Sky was left speechless his jaw hit the floor.
"Hey Sky." Syd said touching his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" she asked. Sky brought himself back to reality.
"Uh nothing, nothing's the matter. I was just headed down to breakfast." He said straightening his jacket.
"Great, I'll come with you. I promised Zek I'd bring him back something from the galley." She told him.
Z stood watching from the corner of the hallway and smiled and winked at him. Sky responded by giving her the dirtiest expression he could muster.
"Sky are you coming?" Syd said not noticing what just took place.
"Uh, yeah sure." He said before following her.
Meanwhile Jack and Bridge sat downstairs in the mess hall eating breakfast.
"So what do you think of him?" asked Bridge.
"You mean the new guy? He seems all right." Said Jack.
"Do you think he'll try and betray us?" Bridge asked.
Jack looked up at his friend.
"Don't know, but for everyone's sake let's hope not." He said.
Bridge nodded. He went back to his food but then paused to think; at the same time he gently pressed his fork against his chin.
"Do you think he'll be our friend?" he asked.
Jack chuckled. "Yeah, I hope so Bridge. Hey don't you have to stand on your head to think?"
"Not always. It depends on if I have enough room." He replied.
"Ah, I see." The Red Ranger said.
At that time Sky, Z and Syd walked up to them carrying their plates.
"Hey have a seat guys." Jack told them while clearing room for Z to sit next to him. Sky and Syd sat next to Bridge.
Jack looked up and saw Sky sulking.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
Sky looked up at him.
"Nothing." He muttered before taking his first bite.
"He's jealous of the new guy." Z whispered.
"Ohhh." Went Jack.
"I am not jealous." Sky objected as he cut up his pancakes.
"Me and Jack were just talking about him, the new guy I mean." Said Bridge.
"Terrific." Sky quipped.
"Oh lighten up Sky. Sometimes I wonder how we live with this guy?" said Z.
"I ask myself the same question everyday." Jack added. Bridge and Z laugh.
Sky threw Jack a dirty look before returning to his plate.
"I'm going to go take some food back to Zek. And Sky seriously grow up." Syd said getting up.
Sky crossed his arms and rested them against the table. His fellow Rangers began to snicker.
"Not another word." He told them.
Jack and Bridge chuckle and lean heavily against the table. Syd made her way down the hallway carrying a piping hot tray of pancakes and syrup back to Zek's room.
"Zek? I brought you some hotcakes. I hope you don't mind." Syd called
But when she came in she discovered he was gone.
"Zek?" she sat the tray down at a desk and ventured further into the room.
"Zek? Zechariah?" she searched the hospital room for him but he was nowhere to be found.
"Where could he be?" she said aloud.
Across the hallway Zek limbered his way down a corridor, Zek pressed his hand against the wall still weak from the day before. He leaned his back against the wall and slid down to the floor, too tired to continue.
"Zek!" Syd cried.
He looked up and saw the Pink Ranger running towards him. She dropped to her knees in front of him.
"What are you doing out here?" she asked.
"Sorry, didn't mean to worry you." He said out of breath.
"You shouldn't even be out here." She told him.
"Yeah sorry, just thought I'd test my legs a bit." He replied.
"You're still weak from the crash. You need to be back in bed." She told him.
"Come on, I'm taking you back." She said getting up.
Syd wrapped her fingers around his arm and helped him up; placing his weight upon her shoulders she then carried Zek back to his room in the infirmary. Meanwhile back in the command center Commander Cruger was talking with Kat about Zek.
"Anything yet Miss Manx?" he asked.
"Sir I just checked back with Galaxy Command, his records check out. Zek served a year in the Corona Galaxy and is currently off active duty; there no reports of suspicious activity." Kat affirmed.
Doggie rested his chin against his index finger and thumb.
"Then what made him crash land on Earth?" he asked.
"No idea sir. I'm still looking into that." She said.
"Let me know when you find something." He told her.
"Yes sir." She responded.
Meanwhile Jack and the others were coming back from breakfast.
"I'm going to go check on Syd should have been back a while ago." Jack said making his way up the hall.
"I'll come with you. I got a while till my shift begins." Said Z.
"Yeah I'll come too." Said Bridge.
"We'll all go." Said Sky.
The gang made their up to the infirmary, while Syd applied a damp cloth to Zek's head.
"You really need to take it easy you know?" she said.
"Don't worry about me, I'll bounce back in no time. Kayoians are very resiliant." He told her.
Syd let out a chuckle. "You're as bad as Jack and Sky." She told him.
Zek smiled and laughed.
"So what are your teammates like?" he asked.
"Their a handful." She said with a smile.
"Jack's the Red Ranger, he's all right. He can be a little full of himself sometimes but he's a great leader. He's an amazing fighter. He's strong, impulsive and a little reckless at times but all in all he's a great leader. Then there's Sky the Blue Ranger, he does everything by the book and about as anal retentive as you can get. We think he's a robot." She joked.
Zek began to laugh after hearing this.
"He's an all right guy, just needs to loosen more. Once you get past his gruff exterior he's pretty easy to get along with. Sky's actually our best fighter. He's very good at hand to hand combat and tactics. He and Jack actually make a pretty good team. Sky's also our second-in-command. And usually leads us if Jack isn't there." She told him.
"Sounds like one of my guys." Zek said.
"Bridge is probably the sweetest member of the team. He's the Green Ranger, quirky and a little out there. He has this weird way of asking questions but other than that he's a great guy. I feel like I'm the only one that understands him sometimes. I've even had to translate for him a few times. And he always has to do a handstand to think. I think he's the sanest out of all of us. He seems to look at things like a child would." She told him.
"So do you like him?" he asked.
Syd could feel her cheeks heating up.
Jack and Sky stood outside Zek's room listening in on their conversation. Bridge was the furthest away and wasn't able to hear as good.
"So what about the Yellow one?" he asked.
"That would be Z…" she said just then the alarm went off.
"Oh duty calls." She said before heading off.
"I'll tell you about her later!" she called out.
Fortunately Syd didn't see the other Rangers run past the door. She managed to catch up with Bridge as he and the other Rangers ran to the Command Center.
"What's the situation Commander?" Jack called out.
"A giant robot is attacking the city." Doggie told them.
"Figures." Jack muttered.
"Some things never changed." Commented Bridge.
"Ready!" yelled Sky.
"Ready!" they replied.
"S.P.D. Emergency!" the cadets cried.
The badges lit up in their respective colors as holographic projections of the Rangers' uniforms emanated from the light bar on top of their morphers. The cadets are hurled through the air morphing into their Ranger forms touching down on the ground. The helmets came together completing the transformation.
"Space Patrol Delta!" they cried striking a pose.
The front and side panels of the base open up and release the SWAT Flyers. The zords rocket through the air, doing barrel rolls within close vicinity of each other. The Rangers were taking on a Centurionbot. The SWAT Flyers got into position and formed the SWAT Megazord. The giant robot hovered above the enemy combatant. Bridge scanned it and found a Blue Head piloting it.
"Its just a foot soldier." He told them.
"Let's make this quick guys." Said Jack.
"Rodger!" they replied.
The steel blue Centurionbot got into battle stance aiming its blaster shield at them and fired. The SWAT Megazord shoots straight up avoiding the blasts. The Centurionbot looked up in surprise.
"What?!" cried the Blue Head.
"Power kick!" said Jack.
The megazord dropped in on the Centurionbot and kicked it repeatedly in the chest knocking it to the ground. The Megazord lands safely on the ground and aimed its pistols at the robot that looked up at the Megazord in shock. Jack removed the morpher from his vest and held it out.
"Judgment!" he cried.
The morpher scanned the robot.
"You are charged with endangering the public at large." Jack told him.
"Whatever." The Blue Head shot the Megazord before it could complete judgment knocking it to the ground.
"Whoa! That's a first!" Jack said.
"He's not going to get away with that." Said Sky.
"Let's get him!" said Z.
The Megazord propelled itself toward the Centurionbot. The Troobian robot was ready for them and energized its sword and swung at the Rangers. The Megazord did a barrel roll dodging the sword, getting up close and personal. The SWAT Megazord drew back its fist and punched the Troobian robot in the head as hard as it could, smashing in the robot's face the cables in its neck threatening to break. The Megazord threw another punch into the robot's abdomen creating a huge dent. Inside the cockpit explosions went off as sparks flew around the pilot. The Centurionbot couldn't take much more. The blue robot fell to its knees and hit the ground before detonating. Zek saw the whole thing from a flat screen TV in his room.
"Wow." He said.
Sometime later the Rangers were back in the base celebrating their recent victory. The B-Squad could be heard cheering as they made their way down the hall. As they came up the hall they found Zek sitting at a computer.
"Zek! Am I going to have to tie you down?" Syd said annoyed.
"Oh sorry Syd. I was just looking up information on my team." He said.
An awkward silence fell, as the B-Squad looked at each other.
"What?" said Zek.
