Author's Note: Hey guys here's White Avalanche Ranger with another lightspeed update. Yeah I'm a roll dude. So anyway here's the third chapter of our story. Enjoy!
"What?!" Zek said incredulous.
"We meant to tell you this for a while." Said Sky.
Zek sighed and looked down at his bed.
"It cant be." He looked up at the Rangers.
"I won't accept it!" he said.
"Zek, I'm really sorry but…the A-Squad really did betray SPD." Bridge said.
Zek slammed his hand against the bed.
"It's the truth Zek." Syd told him.
"That's not possible. I know my team they're as loyal to SPD as I am." Zek held his arms and legs up to his chest. Syd sat down on the bed next to him.
"I'm really sorry." She said.
"Bring the Commander in here. There's something I need to talk about." He said.
"Right. We'll leave you alone for a while." Syd got off the bed and gently brushed his hair.
"Thanks." He said.
"Come on guys, let's get out of here." Jack said as he and the others filed out of the room.
Syd was the last one to leave. Looking over her shoulder one last time at him and could he was hurting. Regretfully Syd closed the door behind her leaving him to his thoughts. Meanwhile in the Command Center Syd and the others approached Doggie.
"Sir, Cadet Zek was wanting to see you." Syd saluted him.
"Very well, thank you for telling me Miss Drew." He told her.
Syd saluted him once more and set out on her own. Doggie sighed and turned away, Kat picked up on this and looked at the Commander. She could tell he was dreading this moment. A while later he stood outside the cadet's hospital room. The Commander regained his composure before entering.
"Open." He ordered. The door obeyed his command and offered him access to the hospital room. The Sirian entered the room and approached the cadet. Zek turned his head and saw him enter.
"Commander Cruger." He said.
"Hello Zek. It's been a while."
"The Rangers told me what happened." Zek told him.
The Commander sighed. "I see."
"Sir…why would the A-Squad betray S.P.D.?" he asked.
Doggie looked at him before answering.
"Unfortunately I'm not sure how to answer that. I know this is hard for you to accept. I wish there was more I could do." He told him.
"Its ok. I think I'd like to be alone now." Zek told him.
"I understand." Cruger said getting up.
Zek looked at the wall as Cruger made his exit. The Commander was met up by Syd a while later.
"How is he?" she asked.
"He's not taking it well." He told her.
"Who could blame him?" Sky added. The Blue Ranger was at a computer monitoring the city.
"You think there's anything we could do for him?" Bridge said from the other end of the command center.
"Cadet Zek wanted to be left alone for a while. The most we can do is to give him space." Doggie replied. Jack stood at the other end monitoring his own computer.
A while later Z walked over to Zek's room unaware of his wish to be alone. Z opened the door and was startled to see him doing sit-ups.
"Can you shut the door? It's a little cold." He said.
"Sorry. Are you all right?" Z asked shutting the door behind her.
"No, I always do sit-ups when I'm angry." He replied.
Z wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic or serious.
"Okay?" she said a little weirded out.
"No, I'm serious. This is how I vent." He told her.
"Oh. You don't sit still for very long do you?" she asked.
"Yeah well, I guess you can chalk that up to ADHD." He said.
"Your hyperactive?" she asked.
"Oh yeah. I always gotta be doing something. If I don't it drives me crazy." He said.
"I know a few people like that." She replied.
"Runs in the family. My dad's worse than me. He's always spacing out and forgetting things. I can't tell you how many times he's forgotten his morpher. Sure keeps mom on her toes that's for sure." He joked. Z smiled.
"Never a dull moment at your house." She said.
"Are you kidding me? Step into my house sometime and you'll see how crazy it can be." He said.
"You know what? Your all right." She said.
"Thanks. Your all right too." He said.
Z smiled and laughed. "So what are your parents like?"
"My parents are great. Wouldn't trade them for the galaxy. My mom's real sweet; she can be a troublemaker when she needs to be. My dad is a handful, but otherwise a great guy. Taught me everything I know, well both of them did actually. But it was mainly my dad." He said.
"Must be great having parents." She said.
Zek stopped and looked up at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't know." He said.
"Its all right. I spent most of my time on the street. I wasn't alone though, Jack was there alongside Me." She said.
He got up off the floor.
"What happened?" he asked.
"My folks disappeared when I was a kid. Cruger told us our parents all worked at SPD." Z told him.
Before Zek could say another word there was a knock at the door.
"Its open." Zek said. The door opened to reveal the Red Ranger standing behind it.
"Commander Cruger wanted to see for debriefing." He told him.
"All right." Zek said.
"Well, I guess we'll have to pick this up later." Zek told Z.
"Its all right, I have to get to work anyway." She said.
"Yeah later Z." he said.
Zek arrived in the command center a while later to face Commander Cruger.
"Cadet…uh what is your last name?" he asked.
"I don't actually have a last name sir. None of my people do." He told him.
"Right. Cadet Zek."
"Yes sir!" The Silver Ranger stood at attention.
"Would you like to fill us in on your most recent activity?" he asked.
"I'll try and fill you in as best I can sir." He replied.
"Very well. Proceed." He said.
"Sir. I've served a year offering support in the Corona Galaxy. After I was relieved of duty I was on my way back to Earth when an enemy cruiser attacked me. I fought back, but he was too much for me. My engine was hit and the last thing I remember was hurtling into earth's atmosphere. That's all I can offer you sir." He said.
"I see. Do you know who it was who attacked you?" Doggie asked.
"No sir I don't." he thought back to what happened his eyes widened when he realized what it was.
"Sir I'm not sure but…I want to say it was a Quantatron." He said.
Doggie looked up at him in disbelief.
"A Quanatron?" Bridge said.
"Not possible. Every bad guy from the Space Era and back was destroyed by Zordon's wave." Said Jack.
"That's not entirely true Jack. Remnants of those factions have survived the Z-Wave. Not too long ago a splinter cell of the Machine Empire tried to take control of Serpent Tara. A team of Red Rangers destroyed that group." Said Kat.
"That's right." Said Syd.
"All right so why would there be a Quantatron?" Jack asked.
"I'm not sure." Said Doggie.
"Zek wasn't that the name of your mother's foot soldiers?" Syd asked.
"Yeah I think so." He said.
"Rangers, we may be dealing with something big." Doggie told them.
"Sir it could also be an isolated incident. Maybe it was just wanting revenge on Zek." Sky said.
"In any case we shouldn't take any chances." Doggie replied.
"Zek are you sure it was a quantatron?" Z asked.
"I'm not sure, I thought it was but I could seen something different." He said.
"Kat see if you can track any alien activity." Said Doggie.
Kat nodded and went to her station. Meanwhile unknown to them, that same Quantatron had broken into the base's underground vault. The quantatron took down two guards with his blade and made his way to the vault entrance. Stealing the guard's access card he swiped it and opened the vault door. Inside were all of the criminals S.P.D. had caught. The quantatron had a special mission. He made his way to the far side of the vault and got out the cards containing Emperor Grumm, Broodwing, Mora and the A-Squad Rangers. The Quantatron smirked underneath his mask and broke them out. The Troobians and Rangers grew to full-size before him.
"Excellent." Said Grumm.
A series of large explosions went off destroying the back of the base, the explosions worked their way up the back of the building in rapid succession. Sparks flew inside the command center as systems went haywire; explosions and forks of lightning shot across the command center that sent everyone tumbling to the ground. Outside cadets were knocked to the ground by the series of explosions that were destroying their base. The entire base shook, not a single square inch of it was safe from the onslaught. Before they realized it Grumm and the others had entered the command center through the floor. Grumm stared murderously at Cruger with eyes glowing red. He fired an energy blast from his hand that struck the Commander in the chest; Rangers looked on in horror as he flew across the center computer and hit the ground hard. At the same time A-Squad Rangers opened fire on them, taking them down one by one. Broodwing fired a burst from his hand, over Kat's head. The alien dodged just missing the blast as it hit the SPD badge. And fell facedown. The Troobians continued fireing at them leaving the Rangers defenseless. Jack went for his sidearm and fired a blast at Grumm's head the beam hit just above him. A-Squad Red aimed her rifle at him and fired. The beam just barely missed him as the other A-Squad members joined in. By that time Sam broke into the command center to aid the others. The A-Squad turned their attention to him and opened fire, hitting him point blank. Sam cried out in pain as sparks flew from his chest. Syd looked on in shock as he took the hits. The other Rangers couldn't believe their eyes either. Sam fell to his knees; Zek went for his pistol and fired at the A-Squad hitting the Red Ranger in the chest. The other A-Squad members turned their weapons to him and couldn't believe their eyes.
"Zek!" said the Blue Ranger.
"Leave him. We got what we wanted." Said Grumm.
"We'll deal with him later." Said Red Ranger.
The villains then teleported out of the base leaving it in ruins.
"OK, any doubts we had about Zek betraying us. I think we can lay those aside now." Said Bridge.
"Commander!" yelled Jack.
He and Z crawled over to their wounded leader.
"Commander can you hear me?" said Z.
The big blue dog lay motionless on the ground.
"Doggie!" Kat ran to his side.
At the same time the Omega Ranger lost power and demorphed right next to the Commander.
"Sam!" yelled Bridge. He dropped down beside his fallen comrade.
The Omega Ranger had red hair and wore a white and blue cadet uniform.
"Sam are you ok?" Bridge asked. Sky and Syd hovered around him; they'd never seen him unmorphed before.
"Let get them to the infirmary." Jack said.
A while later Doggie lay in a hospital bed with Kat sitting by his side. In the next bed was Sam in human form. Sky and Syd were next to him. Jack stood outside the infirmary arms crossed and his foot against the wall; his eyes were closed and seemed to be lost in thought. Z walked up to him.
"How are they?" he asked.
"Doctor said they'd both make it. Sam's Ranger suit protected him for the most part." She told him.
"And the Boss?" he asked.
"He'll be fine too. You know how he is." She told him.
"Cool, glad to hear their both all right." He replied.
"What are we going to do Jack?" she asked.
"I don't know Z. I don't know." He said.
About a week later repairs to the base were close to completion. Unfortunately so was the A-Squad's newest weapon. On another planet, Emperor Grumm and the others looked on as the A-Squad's newest Megazord was nearing completion. The new zords were based on land and air vehicles.
AN: So what did you think. Bet you didnt see that coming. So how will the Power Rangers survive thier next encounter? And will they be a match for the A-Squad's new Megazord? Find out in the next chapter of Revlations of Silver.
