Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Characters from Power Rangers SPD. I tried to stay true to their characters but tweaked them a little. I do however own Natalie Colebright, Karen Jacobson, Samson Paris, Ian Paris and the C-squad cadet. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to review!

Chapter 13: Sky hears the remarks and reports it to Cruger

Meanwhile, Sky was running on a treadmill and he overheard some cadets talking and they were talking about him.

"Can you believe how incredibly smoking hot the B-squad red ranger is?"

"I know what you mean."

"Too bad he is always with that good for nothing pink ranger. I bet she does not do anything other than make sure she does not chip a nail. I think that she is just here for publicity for her singing career and does not even care about SPD."

"I know, she should just leave and leave crime fighting to the rest of us."

The two voices belonged to two female cadets of C-squad who walked into the gym. They giggled when they saw Sky there. Sky got off the treadmill and went to get the names if those two girls.

"Excuse me Cadets or should I say ladies?"

"Yes sir?"

"I have a friend who has seen you and wants to ask you out, would you be so kind as to tell me your names?"

"Well," started the one that had done most of the talk about Syd, "I'm Karen Jacobson and she is Natalie Colebright."

"Thanks; by the way that is not why I wanted your names, in fact expect something from the commander because you may not like a superior, but you never speak about them like the way that you just did the B-squad Pink Ranger."

"But sir, we did not do anything like you are implying."

After Karen had told him that Sky left, he needed to speak to the commander about Natalie and Karen. He had not gotten too far when Sky overheard some male cadets talking to a girl of the same rank. Sky heard them tell her that she would never be a worthy edition to SPD and she should never have come here in the first place because she would never be good enough to become a ranger or be even close. After they said that, the girl ran away from the male cadets.

'Excuse me, Cadet?"

"yes,….Si..r?"

"Don't listen to them. You are a good cadet and can you tell me their names please."

"That one is Samson Paris, and the other, the one that basically stood is his brother Ian Paris."

"Thanks cadet and you are strong and hard-working cadet and the only ones that can judge you are your teachers, the Commander and Supreme Command, and I was very much like you except for our gender, so again don't worry"

"Thank you, sir"

Sky made it to where Cruger was, he ask him if they could speak in private.

"Commander, the night when Dru attacked, before I was called away, Syd asked me if I thought she was capable and if she belonged at SPD. I said of course, and she had also been asked the same question to her by some of the cadets about themselves. But today, it was really brought to my attention not just about Syd, but the others as well. I was doing my daily workout routine in the gym, when two C-squad cadets were bad mouthing Syd. Then as I started to come two E-level cadets doing it to a just newly appointed C-squad member, that was just transferred in and when I saw her walk away from them; I went and asked their names and she was not just crying, she was balling. Commander, this has to stop. Look, I did my share of that to Syd by calling her a princess, but now I feel awful because I 

can see how talented. If someone was saying it to a friend as a joke such how is the sleeping princess, that would be one thing, but this, what I witnessed was quite another; Thanks to Ms. Manx, I can show you and let you listen on the surveillance morpher that she made for us."

Afterwards, Sky played the clip about Syd and what was told to the new C-squad cadet. Cruger was just as angry as Sky was, but the one thing that got Cruger the most ticked off was when one of his team or their superior said that they were good enough to appoint the person, but the cadets still would disrespect them and told them how they felt. Anubis told Sky to feel free to start his own plan of discipline and that it would be supported.
