Chapter 43: What are we up against?
When Sky and Sydney got back they found Anubis as well as Bridge and Z waiting for them.
"Rangers, now with everything that has happened, one main concern's is now being realized. We must now have either voice and status recognizers or have status and code voice locks. We must tighten security around case files and containment cards. That means that no one lower than your rank may handle any files. If they do than they must do a paper file and then you must put them in. That might mean extra work, but most of the one that took quite a long time to contain as still there. Sky and Syd before you left, you may have noticed one box that I did not assign to either of you, and even though it would be in your section Sydney. I asked that you both guard it, but do not open it. Ms. Manx also wants to talk to all of you about some gifts that she has provided for you. "
"Rangers, I have added quite a few things. I will tell you if I added anything that requires you to do something in order for it to be activated. You each have another zord; they combine with your battle partner's zord to become a megazord."
After Kat got done talking, they were all released from duty. While Z returned to the book she was reading, Bridge began playing a small video game. Sky began to read a book with tips on achieving a good exercise routine. Sky felt Syd, who was trying to get a little rest, shiver and while he was reading so he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her in close and pulled his blanket over them. About twenty minutes later, Z asked Sky to hand her a magazine that was closer to him than she was.
"I can't, I don't want to disturb, Syd"
"Is she asleep?"
"Uh huh"
"Never mind then, because I don't think that she is sleeping well again lately."
Just as Z was finishing saying what she had, the phone rang.
"Did she wake up?"
Sky shook his head while Z picked it up.
"Delgado"
"Hello Z, this is Tina, Is Syd or Sky available?"
"Can you hold on? I can see if either is around."
"Sure"
Z felt bad, but she asked if he or Syd were there, same went like that and someone called and they didn't feel like talking.
"Are you around?" Z asked.
"No, I'm not, sorry."
"I'm sorry, but I don't see them around anywhere"
"Sure, I'll do that"
After she hung up, Z got up and got the magazine she wanted.
""Z, can I ask why you don't think she is not getting a lot of sleep?"
"Well, lately she wakes in the night sometimes and starts crying. She is always tossing and turning. I also think that her dreams are anything but pleasant. I just don't think that she is."
"Okay"
A few moments later, Sky had to wake Syd for duty because they switched Bridge and Z for the night shift instead of doing the early morning patrol. Sky and syd were walking to duty when all of a sudden the base and the rest of the city were plunged into darkness.
"Oh, Lovely"
All B-squad rangers please report to Command Central.
Syd and Sky were told to take one side of New Tech to patrol while Z and Bridge were told to take the other half. Bridge and Z were half way done when all of a sudden some things that reminded them of Krybots appeared, but they knew that they weren't. Then suddenly the Krybot things started to attack them.
"Sky, Bridge and I need help"
"Well, call the commander he will be able to reach you before I will."
"Got it"
"Commander, we need your help, Bridge and I are under attack of something, but we can't tell you what because we have never seen them before and they seem stronger …ugh… then we… ugh …have seen before."
"I am on my way; can you describe them, Bridge?"
"Sir, they look like Krybots."
"Okay, you are fighting a version of something called rumbits. They have the strength of a lot of Krybots. Both you and Bridge do exactly as I say until I, Syd and Sky get there. No actually come back to base."
"Yes, sir"
Cruger told Z and Bridge how to activate the shield and to go back to the base, and he radioed Sky and Syd to do the same.
"Sir, what made you bring us back to the base?"
"We have begun the second major battle for earth."
"Commander, what is going on?"
"I fear that the being known as Master Magnificent is going to start his second try for earth."
"Second?" Z inquired.
"Yes, and this time. I am sure will be much harder than the first"
"Whoa, Commander, what happened the first time and what exactly are we up against?"
"Rangers, You were all alive during his last try as well as you battled his nephew. His brother was Grumm's father"
"Commander I think that this Master Magnificent and this guy or girl who is breaking into the files are working together and are trying to get grumm out. You don't think that grumm would actually agree to work for this guy do you?"
"I have a feeling that he already has"
