farahlafels: Val's Zord resembles a police van, I explained that in chapter 2, even though she wasn't driving it at the time.
Intro:
A police car drives around.
S.P.D Emergency!
The car skids to a stop, as its sirens wail.
The six Rangers then run along a street together.
Jack then jumps his bike up from an explosion. Syd hits a Krybot while jumping up with Deltamax Striker blade. Sky lifts his bike's front wheel up. Val skids her bike to a stop in front of a Blue Head. Bridge lifts up from his bike and kicks two Krybots away, while holding onto the handles. Z spins around as a Orange Head tries to hit her. They all then charge at an alien as an explosion goes off behind them, before their numbers are counted down. The Delta Squad Megazord does the Delta Strike. The sirens on the helmets beep, before Jack fires the Canine Cannon, as Sky and Bridge point their hands forward, Z and Syd touch Jack's shoulders, and Val holds the top.

In the Delta Base, the Rangers were all in the Common Room, all but Sky and Val playing a game called Light Ball. Sky sat on a long metal couch against the right wall with some popcorn while reading a book, while Val was reading a detective crime comic further along it. Also in the room were five other Cadets, two playing chess at a table at the back of the room, two playing on the arcade games, while the fifth was on a laptop.
Jack jumped and side flipped as the ball shot towards him.
"Whoa!" he yelped.
Z dived away as the ball hit a door, then it bounced back towards Jack as he landed crouched down. He got up and caught the ball as it shot past him, wearing a special type of glove, which they all wore. He looked at Bridge and Syd, who were the opposing team, as he was with Z, before throwing the ball at them.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Bridge yelped.
"Oh!" Syd yelped, as it shot past her.
It bounced off a wall near a counter, then bounced off it towards Syd, who kicked her feet against a wall and back flipped, making it miss her. It shot past Z, who did a backwards handspring as it hit the door, then bounced away as Z rolled along the floor. Bridge leaned back and dived onto his back, kicking his legs up as it hit the wall behind him, then it bounced away as he got up. It shot past Val, before it hit Sky's popcorn, making some of it shoot out like raindrops in a puddle, as some hit the floor.
"Hm?" he muttered, moving slightly as it shot away from him.
He turned a page in his book, as Syd threw the ball towards Z, who ducked down in a three-point stance as Jack ducked near her. He got up and grabbed the ball as Z got up, then he threw it over to Bridge, who moved back to a corner as it began bouncing off the two walls between him, before it hit his chest.
"AH!" he yelped.
Jack flinched slightly as Bridge crouched down.
"Alright, mental note: Walls are not always your friend." he sighed.
"Sorry, Bridge. Nothing personal." Jack said.
Bridge held up his thumb as Val smiled and turned a page in her comic.
Z caught the ball and sniggered, before she turned to Jack, who motioned with his head. She threw it at him, who caught it as they ran forward, then spun around and threw it back at her, who caught it. She threw it at Syd, who ducked and rolled past them both, as Jack jumped to avoid the ball.
"Whoa!" Syd yelped.
She got up just as the ball hit her back, making her turn around and laugh slightly.
"Nice one, Z." Jack remarked, waving his gloved hand over her face.
"Thanks." Z said.
They both turned to Syd, who held her left hand up.
"And add insult to injury. I broke a nail." Syd said.
"Oh." Jack and Z said, looking at it.
Sky frowned as he ate some popcorn, before the ball bounced towards his feet. Syd ran towards him and picked up the ball.
"Come on, Sky, play with us?" she asked.
"Light Ball?" Sky questioned. "You're kidding? D level game. And you don't see Val playing either?"
Val closed up her comic and got up, before she approached Sky and Syd.
"You used to love this game?" Syd recalled.
"No time for games anymore. If you remember, we have an enemy sitting in outta space. Grumm's not playing games, neither am I." Sky said, before eating some popcorn.
Syd rolled her eyes as Val got near them both.
"For your information, I'm only not playing because you aren't." Val said. "It'll make the teams uneven."
Sky turned to her, before the alarms blared, making him get up, before they all ran off.
In the city, a Conerose robot was creating havoc, this one having a crab claw in place of a laser cannon for its left arm, was firing lighting from its claw arm, hitting a few building, creating explosions.
In the cockpit, it was being piloted by a sliver alien called Ringbah, who had black stripes along his body, large horns on his head, and armor on his arms, who laughed evilly.
"That should get their attention." he said.
Grumm appeared on a screen on his right.
"Ringbah, stop playing around and get to work on the city!" he ordered.
"What's the point of doing this if you can't have any fun?" Ringbah asked.
"You're a member of my army! You're job is to reek havoc on the city!" Grumm growled.
"Ah!" Ringbah groaned.
"We'll see how much you have, when I stuff you in the airlock!" Grumm roared, his eyes glowing.
"Understood." Ringbah said. "Ringbah out."
His robot bowed its head and looked at the ground.
In the Delta Base, the Rangers were in the Command Room with Cruger and Kat, who all stood by the center panel.
"Rangers, suit up!" Cruger ordered.
"Ready?" Jack asked, holding up his morpher.
The screen split into six, Sky in the top left, Jack in the top middle, Z in the top right, Bridge in the bottom left, Val in the bottom middle, Syd in the bottom right, all holding their morphers.
"SPD Emergency!"
(Morph sequence)
The screen split into six, the Rangers in the same spots. They all pressed their morpher's buttons, shooting out the holograms on their suits, before they all back flipped away and morphed up. They all landed crouched down, before their helmets appeared on them, then they did their fight poses.
"Space Patrol Delta!"
(End morph sequence)
"Opening Zord bay tubes." Kat said, as the tube covers rose up.
The Rangers all turned and ran towards one.
"Wahoo!" Z whooped, jumping into hers.
Syd jumped and slid down hers.
"¡Está bien!" Val whooped, jumping into hers.
"Yeah." Bridge said, as he and Sky jumped into theirs.
Jack jumped into his and slid down it.
"Yee-haw!" he said.
Tubes moved down into the hanger towards the Delta Runners, before one attached to each one, then the Rangers entered theirs.
"Lock 'em in, Rangers!" Jack ordered, putting his morpher in its place.
"Affirmtive." Sky said, doing the same.
"You got it." Bridge said, powering up his controls.
"I'm ready." Z said, doing the same.
"Okay, let's go." Syd said, pulling her right knob back.
"Time to hit it." Val said, revving up her Zord.
Delta Runner 1 began to race off down a tunnel, followed by Delta Runners 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, as their sirens wailed.
The Delta Runners all soon arrived on the scene and raced towards the Conerose robot.
"There it is." Syd said, pointing at it.
Ringbah growled as his robot stared at the Delta Runners.
"I'm going in for a closer look." Jack said.
He turned his Zord right past a building.
"You're breaking protocol." Sky said.
"Who asked you?" Jack spat.
"We should form the Megazord now!" Sky insisted.
"Oh, give me a break?" Jack argued.
"Maybe you guys should wait to fight until after the fight?" Bridge suggested.
"Yeah, now's not the time, you two!" Val argued.
"Fine. Form the Megazord." Jack said.
Delta Runner 1 extended its claws out, as Delta Runners 4 and 5 turned around and raced towards it, before it grabbed them both with its claws. It lifted itself up slightly by lifting up its front wheels, pulling the other two onto their back ends. They both turned to it, then attached to its big wheels. Delta Runner 6 jumped over a building and split in half, then the front attached itself on top of Delta Runner 4, while the back attached itself on top of Delta Runner 5.
Delta Runner 2 - on the ground with its front wheel and right wing retracted in - lifted its body up so its cockpit was on the ground, while Delta Runner 3 lifted its back up, leaving the front of it alone. Delta Runner 1's front wheels rotate out, as hands extended out of Delta Runners 4 and 5, then it lifted itself up, then down onto Delta Runner's 2 and 3, before its back rotated down, showing the head.
The Delta Blaster shot out of Delta Runner 3, which it caught in its right hand, then every loose bit retracted inside, forming the Delta Squad Megazord, which aimed the Delta Blaster as the sirens around its body wailed.
"Analyse perpetrator." Sky instructed.
"Analysing." the others said, saluting.
Syd opened up her morpher in 'Phone' mode, then began to type on it, then a hologram of the robot popped up.
"I think I've found a weakness." she reported.
"You're mine!" Ringbah roared.
His robot tried to slash the Delta Squad Megazord with its blade arm, but missed as it dodged, then he pulled the arm back and hit the Delta Squad Megazord's right arm. It then tried to hit the Delta Squad Megazord again, but it grabbed its bladed arm.
"We got him now." Sky said. "I'll take it from here."
The Delta Squad Megazord moved around, pulling the Conerose robot with it, making them switch places.
"What are you doing?" Jack asked.
Sky chuckled. "Watch and learn?" he said, pressing a button.
The Delta Squad Megazord brought out its Delta Sword, then it tried to slash the Conerose robot, which blocked it with its right arm, but then it slashed the robot's right shoulder, knocking it back.
"Oh!" Ringbah growled, as his robot clutched its arm. "Now it's my turn, losers!"
Mora appeared on the screen beside him, sitting in her room, an energy level bar on the right side.
"Hi. Whatcha doing?" she asked.
"Battling the Rangers Zords." Ringbah answered.
"Sounds like fun. Even more fun, if your energy levels weren't so down." Mora said, as the energy bar went down.
"But, I-" Ringbah began.
"You are going to get vaporized if you don't get back here, now!" Mora scowled, mockingly.
"Ah! Another time, Rangers!" Ringbah roared.
His robot vanished in a bright light, temporally blinding the Delta Squad Megazord, which raised its left arm up.
"We lost him!" Jack scowled, hitting his wheel.
Later, back in the Delta Base, Sky and Jack were both walking down a hallway towards Kat's lab.
"You should've listened to me. We could've caught that guy, if we'd formed the Megazord right away." Sky insisted, as they stopped and stared at each other.
"You don't know that, Sky." Jack said, as they walked off again.
"Actually, I believe I do." Sky argued.
"Really?" Jack questioned.
The lab door opened, where Kat and the other Rangers were waiting.
"Well, maybe if you spent more time with the team, you could enlighten us?" Jack suggested, as they entered the lab.
"This coming from a guy who used to order us around like he was our boss?" Sky argued.
"What?" Jack questioned.
He turned around to Sky, as Z folded her arms, while Val rolled her eyes.
"Hey, I was just trying-" Jack began.
"That's enough!" Kat scowled, getting everyone's attention. "Fight the enemy, not each other."
Jack and Sky turned to each other, then to Kat.
"Good. Now, the Commander and I have decided to add to your arsenal." Kat explained, holding a remote.
She turned and aimed it at a door, pressing a button on it, as the Rangers turned to the door. It opened up, sending smoke out of it, but once the smoke cleared, showed two bikes with armour and lasers on, one red, one green, both with white bits on.
"All right." Jack said.
"Check it out?" Bridge said. "Whoa-ho."
They all approached the bikes, then Bridge touched the one that matched his color.
"Whoa-ho-ho." Jack said, doing the same to his. "Looks like Christmas came early this year."
"Well, actually, Jack, I'm Jewish, but I suppose Hanukah came early." Bridge said.
"Okay." Jack said.
"This is so unfair!" Sky complained, jealously. "How come they get new bikes?"
"Something wrong with your bike, Sky?" Kat asked.
"Sky, you don't see me complaining?" Val said. "I'm happy with what I've got."
Sky glared at her, not happy.
Cruger came in as the door opened, getting everyone's attention before Sky could argue.
"Cadets, I have something to show you." he explained.
He walked to a table on the other side of the lab, as everyone approached him.
"What is it, Commander?" Syd asked.
Cruger pressed a button on a remote, then a holographic recording came up, with images of the A-Squad around the table. (Purple was on Yellow's right) The hologram showed the A-Squad at a quarry area, surrounded by explosions.
"Come in, SPD?" A-Squad Red called, the voice static. "Come in, SPD? We've been overrun! It's a trap!"
Sparks went off near A-Squad Blue and Purple.
"We're taking heavy..." Red continued, turning around briefly. "Our coordinates are 5 point 1-"
The holographic recording went static, then Cruger pressed a button on his remote, turning off the hologram.
"That was the last communication with the A-Squad." Cruger explained, shocking the Rangers. "And we were not able to establish their location. I fear that they may have been...eliminated."
The Rangers all lowered their heads slightly - expect Sky - all of them knowing that with A-Squad MIA, they were the Earth's last hope against Grumm.
On Grumm's ship, Grumm, Mora and Broodwing were in the control room with Ringbah, who Grumm held up with a force lift.
"You have failed me!" he growled, his eyes glowing. "Prepare for implosion."
"Ah! Please, have mercy?" Ringbah begged, as Broodwing laughed.
"Grumm, stop!" Mora snapped.
Grumm frowned and lowered his hand, making Ringbah fall onto the floor.
"What now? Are you going to try to talk me outta this?" Grumm asked.
"Of course not." Mora said. "I like seeing someone launched into space as much as the next person."
Ringbah got up and stuttered, turning to Broodwing.
"Good." Grumm said. "Do you want to push the button?"
"You betcha." Mora said. "It's not every day you get to rid the galaxy of a great bounty hunter."
"Uh..." Ringbah stuttered.
"I'm just saying, Ringbah failed, because his robot ran out of energy, right?" Mora said, as she started pacing in front of Grumm.
"Mm-mm." Grumm nodded.
"What if we powered the robot with the same Hellarium Crystals that power our ship?" Mora suggested, as Grumm put his hand on his chin.
"It's possible." he said.
"Hellarium Crystals don't exist in this galaxy?" Broodwing questioned.
"I know where we can get something just as good." Mora assured.
"Do not." Broodwing said.
"Do too!" Mora scowled angrily.
"Prove it?" Broodwing asked.
On Earth, a sliver van drove towards a warehouse near a quarry, before it pulled over, then two men got out. They both had put three white crates into a pile which had the words 'Terranova Mining Company' on, with a diamond on beneath the words. One then put a fourth crate on the pile, as the other stood by the door to the warehouse.
"You think these crates are full of diamonds?" the first asked.
"Ain't any of our business of full of diamonds or dirt." the second said, approaching him, before he pointed at the crates and van. "We're getting paid to put these boxes into this van and not ask any questions."
They both approached the back of the van, the second taking out the keys, while the first turned left.
"Even a question about some guys standing over there in weird tarts?" the first asked.
"Hmm?" the second muttered.
He turned left, seeing a dozen Krybots approaching them both.
In the Delta Base, Sky was in his room, which he shared with Bridge, as it was half green, half blue, punching a punching bag. He kicked its side, then punched it five times, when Kat showed up in the doorway and turned to him as he punched it three more times.
"Hey. Everyone else is training on the simulator and you here?" she inquired.
"I was thinking about A-Squad." Sky said, as Kat looked skeptical. "And anyways, I wasn't invited, and I don't care."
He punched the bag several more times.
"Sure you don't?" Kat said, unconvinced.
The alarm went off, then Sky turned and took off his boxing gloves, putting them on Bridge's bed, before he picked up his jacket and ran off.
A little later, all six Rangers were in the garage, Jack and Bridge morphed, who got onto their new bikes.
"Rangers, Krybots reported trying..." Kat explained.
Sky got onto his bike, with his helmet and gloves on.
"...to steal diamonds..."
Val got onto her bike, with her helmet and gloves on.
"...from Downtown warehouse."
Syd hopped into the jeep, as Z got into the driver's side.
"Proceed to coordinates 3-7-5 North sector."
Sky and Val revved up their bikes and raced off towards the ramp, as Z followed in the jeep.
"Diamonds?" Syd questioned.
Jack and Bridge revved up their bikes and followed the others, as the sirens on their vehicles wailed. Sky and Val led the others out of the garage, then out of the base, before they turned right down a street.
(The warehouse)
The two men were both tied and gagged in the back of their van, as two Krybots closed it up. They turned as others paced around, while two put a teleporter device on the crates, before one started a timer, which began on 3 minutes.
(A street)
Jack and Bridge raced their bikes past the other Rangers and down the road.
"They get new bikes. So not fair!" Sky grumbled.
Val turned to him slightly.
"¿Alguna vez le dará un descanso?" she mumbled.
Nearby, a bunch of Krybots were at the quarry near the warehouse, before Jack and Bridge raced over to the scene.
"Wahoo!" Jack whooped.
"Yeah!" Bridge whooped.
The Krybots all turned to them, making them both pull over.
"Oh, man! Krybots." Jack said.
"Uh-oh. How are we gonna get to the warehouse?" Bridge wondered, pointing forward.
"I say we bust up this little roadblock." Jack said, holding his fist up.
"Jack, that was a good answer." Bridge commented, clutching his fist.
"Hit it!" Jack said.
They revved up their bikes and raced towards the Krybots, which charged back.
"Lasers!" Jack said.
He fired his bike lasers, which hit several Krybots, knocking them down.
"Yeah!" he whooped, as he kept firing.
Several Krybots fired their bladed lasers, which hit the ground behind Jack as he jumped his bike up, creating an explosion behind him. He fired more lasers, which hit several Krybots as he dived his bike past them.
"Hyah!" he yelled.
He landed his bike and raced off as the Krybots fell over, holes in their chests.
"Whoa!" Bridge yelped, dodging several lasers.
The Krybots in front of him fired their bladed lasers, one of which created an explosion near him as he turned his bike left.
"Whoa!" he yelped.
The Krybots fired at him again.
"That was close." he said.
A blast hit the ground near him, creating an explosion behind him.
"Whoa!" he yelped, turning his bike right. "Look out. Lasers!"
He fired his bike's lasers as he raced forward, hitting two Krybots, before more fired their lasers, which created explosions behind him.
"Oh, right!" he whooped.
He fired his bike lasers at the Krybots, which kept firing back at him.
"Coming through!" he said, jumping his bike up.
He jumped over a few Krybots as others fired their lasers at him, before two jumped up and dived towards him. He lifted himself up while keeping hold of his bike's pedals, then he spread his legs out and split kicked them both, which sparkled as they hit the ground.
"Bye now." he called, racing his bike off as he landed it.
"Fire!" Jack yelled, racing his off, as a Krybot fried at him.
It began chasing him, when Sky and the girls showed up, making others turn and fire on them.
"Save some fun for us?" Syd called.
Z served the jeep around as Sky and Val skidded their bikes around to dodge blasts.
Jack pulled his bike over, skidding it 90 degrees to his left, then he turned to the others and took out his morpher, opening it up in 'phone' mode.
"Get to the warehouse!" he ordered. "We'll keep them occupied here."
"Got it." Syd understood, her morpher to her ear.
Sky and Val raced ahead as Z raced the jeep after them.
"Hang on, Syd?" Z said.
Sky raced past dozens of Krybots, some of which tried to grab him, with Val right behind him, kicking one on her right away as it tried to grab her.
"Whoa!" Z yelped, turning the jeep's wheel.
She sped it up after Sky and Val, as a Krybot nearly hit the back of it with its laser arm. Others fired lasers at the jeep, Sky and Val, all missing, as Jack rode his bike between them all.
Three jumped off a small hill mound as Sky and Val raced past it, just missing the jeep as Z raced after her friends. They landed on the ground, then turned and fired their bladed lasers, the blasts hitting the ground and creating explosions around the four Rangers.
"Ah!" Z and Syd yelped, wobbling in the jeep.
The Krybots fired again as the four Rangers turned their vehicles right to avoid the blasts, which created another explosion. Four mored fired at them, creating an explosion near Val and the jeep, making the girls shake slightly.
"Ah!" Z yelped.
"Oh!" Val moaned, bending down.
More Krybots fired at the four Rangers, creating an explosion behind their vehicles.
"Ah!" Z and Syd groaned, wobbling in the jeep.
More Krybots fired at them, as Jack jumped his bike over near them, making the robots turn to him.
"Delta Blasters!" he shouted, bringing them out.
He leaned back and fired them both at the Krybots, hitting eight of them as he moved slightly. He put his blasters away and jumped his bike up towards seven of them, as an explosion went off behind them, knocking them down, as he landed his bike.
Z and Syd turned around to Jack, before they turned back to Sky and Val, as the jeep went through a big puddle, then all four Rangers then raced towards the warehouse.
"All clear." Syd said. "Thanks, Jack."
The timer on the crates counted down to 1 minute, 58 seconds.
Bridge raced his bike over towards dozens of Krybots, before jumping it up.
"Gotta get through." he said, firing his bike's lasers.
They hit three of the Krybots.
"Yah!" he yelled, firing more lasers.
They hit the ground behind two, creating an explosion which knocked them up, before they hit the ground and sparkled.
Sky and the girls all kept racing towards the warehouse, turning right past a crane as they did, while the timer now read 1 minute 13.
Jack raced his bike towards dozens of Krybots.
"Okay, my turn." he said.
He lifted his front wheel up, then leaned to his left as a Krybot fired at him.
"Look, no hands?" he joked, taking out his blasters.
He fired them at the Krybots, hitting three Krybots, the last of which back flipped onto its chest.
"You want more?" he joked, as he kept firing.
The blasts hit two more as they jumped, making them flip onto their backs, before he raced past the rest as they fired at him.
"Can't hide from me?" he smirked, turning around.
He fired his blasters, creating an explosion which knocked two Krybots into the air, before his bike's front wheel put itself down. He turned and grabbed the pedals, then skidded it 180 degrees to his left, before he raced it towards the remaining Krybots. He stood up on the seat as some of them fired at him, then he jumped and back flipped away from it and an explosion.
"Hyah!" he yelled.
The Krybots all fired at him as he back flipped through the air.
"Whoa!" he whooped.
The Krybots kept firing at him as he dived down, creating explosions on the ground behind him.
"Yeah." he said, firing his blasters.
The lasers hit the Krybots, hitting a dozen of them, then he fired again, hitting another six, knocking them all down. His bike raced towards him, before he twirled around as he dived towards it.
"Whoa." he said, before he landed on it. "All right!"
He raced it away as an explosion went off behind him.
Meanwhile, Sky and the girls had reached the warehouse, pulling their vehicles over near it, then Sky and Val took off their helmets and got off their bikes, as Z and Syd got out of the jeep.
"Diamonds?" Syd exclaimed, as they stared at the crates.
They all approached them as Sky and Val took off their gloves.
"And it looks like some kind of teleportation device." Sky said.
"It's probably gonna zap them up to Grumm's ship." Val deduced.
"Gee, you think?" Z asked sarcastically, as it reached 40 seconds.
"Turn it off?" Syd asked, as Sky began tinkering with it.
"I'm trying. Bridge is the mechanical genius." he reminded her.
Z turned as she heard a noise, then back to the others.
"You three keep working. I'll check out the noise." she said.
She turned and ran off towards the van, then opened up the back door, before taking off the gags on the two men.
"Either of you know how to turn off that teleporter?" she asked.
"No." the men replied.
Z lifted up the velcro that had them tied up.
"If I were you, I'd run." she said.
She turned and ran back towards the others, as the two men got out of the van and ran off in the other direction.
"How's it coming?" she asked frantically. "Don't answer that."
Sky shook his head.
"There's gotta be some way to stop the timer." he said, as it counted down to 14 seconds.
Jack and Bridge both raced their bikes towards the scene, getting everyone's attention.
"Look out!" Jack warned.
The timer reached 8 seconds as Jack jumped his bike up and fired lasers from it, hitting the timer and knocking it off the crates, as Sky and the girls dived away.
"WHOA!" they yelped, their forearms over their faces.
They all hit the ground on their chests.
"Ah!" Sky moaned, landing near a barrel, which his head hit.
The girls all hit the ground together, as Jack landed his bike, before he and Bridge pulled over.
"That's one way." Sky admitted.
He and the girls got up as Jack and Bridge got off their bikes and de-morphed, before they all approached the crates.
"Nice, Jack." Z said. "You zapped the teleporter."
"And just in time too." Val added. "The timer was nearly at 0."
"Not to mention, saved the diamonds." Syd added.
Sky turned as he heard a familiar noise, then turned to the others.
"Excuse me, guys, but the diamonds aren't safe yet." he said, before turning away. "Look?"
They all turned and saw four Krybots standing on top of a large crate, all with bladed lasers.
"Run!" Jack yelled.
The Rangers all turned and ran off as the Krybots aimed and fired their bladed lasers, hitting and destroying the diamond crates, creating a massive explosion. Once at a safe distance, Sky turned around, then waved his right arm to create a shield, as the others turned to him.
"Take over!" he yelled.
"Whoa!" the girls yelped.
They, Bridge and Jack all turned and dived towards the ground, as the fire from the explosion hit the shield, preventing it from hitting them all. Sky gritted as his shield vanished with the fire, making him pant slightly, as hundreds of diamonds came flying down towards the ground.
"Wow! I had a dream like this once, only I was a princess." Syd said happily, as all but Bridge got up.
"Can it, Syd, before I lose my breakfast?" Z asked, as Jack helped Bridge up.
The Krybots jumped down from the crate as more arrived, getting the Rangers attention.
"You guys could use some Sun." Syd joked, putting a diamond in her right hand.
She walked forward slightly.
"Let's shed a little light on the situation." she joked, holding up her hand, which glowed brightly. "I summon the stone!"
The bright light shot at the Krybots, blinding them temporally, some of them falling down.
"Hyah!" the others yelled.
They all charged at the Krybots, with Syd right behind them, then began to fight them.
Jack ducked and ran past one towards a building as it tried to whack him, then he turned around near the building, before kicking ones bladed arm away. He dodged a punch from another, then kicked its side, knocking it into the building, then he knocked the first's bladed arm with his hand as he ran forward slightly. He put his hands on a third's back as it bent down, then roll over it while kicking his legs out, kicking a fourth's bladed arm, knocking it down. He turned and kicked his leg back, knocking the third away, then he spun around and kicked its arm, knocking it down, then he jumped and scissor kicked a fifth, knocking it down.
Val dodged as one tried to stab her with its bladed arm, before she grabbed its forearm, then she flipped it onto its back, before she turned and kicked another's chest. She ducked and rolled past two as they tried to punch her, before she put her hands on the ground and split kicked them both in the back, knocking them down, then she rolled over and got up. She blocked a fifth's bladed arm with her forearm, before she punched its chest, knocking it back slightly, then she spun around and tackled it, knocking it onto its back.
Bridge somersaulted forward as one tried to whack him with its blade arm, then he grabbed another's arm and lifted it up, then kicked a third's chest. He moved past the second's arm, then pulled it down, making it fall to its knees, then he pushed it and banged it against a crane cab. He turned and kicked a fourth's chest, then did a forward's handspring past a fifth as it tried to stomp him.
"Whoa!" he yelped.
He got up, then jumped and spun around, kicking its arm, knocking it down onto its chest.
Z - holding her blaster - spun around and tackled one near a barrel, then she leaned back with her left hand on the ground and fired her blaster, hitting another's chest. She turned over onto her back and fired again, hitting a third right near her, then she kicked her legs out, before she got up and fired again, hitting a fourth, making it fall off a step.
Sky blocked ones punch with his right arm, then kicked another's bladed arm away, then he hit the first's chest with his hand, knocking it away. He jumped and twirled around slightly, kicking a third's arm, before he ducked and spun around, tackling it. He turned to two more, then put his hands on the ground while kicking his legs out, kicking them both down.
Syd held one by the arm, then kicked her left leg out, kicking another's chest, then she let go of the first and chopped its leg, flipping it onto its back on a pile of dirt.
"Hyah!" she yelled, jumping and twirling around.
She landed on the dirt, then ducked as one ran past and tried to punch her, then she jumped and spun around, kicking another's bladed arm, making it fall onto its chest.
One Krybot picked up two diamonds, one tiny and one large. It looked between the two, then nodded at the large one, before throwing away the small one, then it turned around and jumped away.
The Rangers all gathered together around the remains of the crate.
"We have a ground full of diamonds, and we can't just leave them here." Sky said, as Jack and Val picked up a diamond each. "I suggest someone stay here and guard them while the rest of us report back to Cruger."
"Oh, me?" Bridge said, putting his hand up.
"Thanks for volunteering." Jack said.
"Me?" Sky questioned. "I didn't volunteer?"
"Okay, Sky, then I order you to stay here." Jack said, turning to him.
He gave Sky his diamond and walked off.
"Prefect, watching the diamonds?" Sky said annoyed.
Syd turned around as the others approached the vehicles.
"One man to guard all these diamonds?" she asked.
Bridge and Z turned to her near the jeep, while Jack and Val stopped and turned near each other.
"Alright, keep him company." Jack said.
"Yes." Syd said happily, before she turned around. "Thank you, thank you."
She bent down and picked up some of the diamonds happily, some falling from her fingers, as Sky looked annoyed.
"I'll stay too." Val said, getting Jack's attention. "I have a feeling Syd's gonna keep the diamonds company more than Sky."
"Okay." Jack said.
"Here." Val said, handing him the one she hand. "Maybe the crime lab can tell us more about why Grumm wanted them."
She turned and walked off while Jack looked confused, before he turned and approached the vehicles.
On Grumm's ship, Grumm and Mora were on the bridge with some Krybots - including the one who'd stolen the big diamond. It handed the diamond to Grumm, who looked at it.
"All you managed was one diamond?" he growled, his eyes glowing.
He shot sparks from his staff at the Krybot, knocking it back, before Mora took the diamond from him.
"At least it's a big one." she reasoned. "I'll prep it for the conversion."
"No. Use it to power Ringbah's machine, and send him into the city." Grumm instructed. "It'll create a diversion, that'll keep the Power Rangers away from the warehouse. I need more diamonds."
Back at the warehouse, Sky, Val and Syd had put the gathered up diamonds into a pile in the crate remains. Sky put more onto the pile, before he turned and walked off in annoyance.
"This is ridiculous." he said, approaching his bike.
He opened part of it up and took out a water canteen.
"I should be debriefing Cruger, not babysitting a bunch of reflective rocks." he said.
He sat down on a crate and opened up the canteen, as the girls turned to him, Val putting more diamonds on the pile.
"Try millions of dollars worth of reflective rocks." Syd said, as Sky drank some water.
"Whatever." he said, putting the canteen down. "It's obvious Jack wants to keep me as far away from the action as possible. He feels threatened by me knowing I should've been the Red Ranger."
"Come on, Sky? Jack had nothing to do with that." Syd said.
"Yeah. Cruger must've had a reason for making you Blue instead of Red." Val reasoned.
"Whatever, girls." Sky said, ignoring them.
He drank some water as Val moved over to gather more diamonds.
"Whatever, girls." Syd scoffed, tossing one at him, which hit his chest.
"Knock it off?" Sky said, throwing it away.
"Or what?" Syd asked, getting up. "Gonna call my parents?"
She tossed another diamond at him, which hit his arm.
"Seriously, don't test me or you'll be sorry." Sky warned.
Syd tossed another diamond, which hit his shoulder, making him get up and approach her, as Val came back over. He held his canteen over Syd and poured water from it onto her, soaking her hair and uniform.
"Hey!" she freaked.
She bent down as water poured from her hair as Sky laughed.
"It took me looking like this to get a smile outta you?" she asked.
"Very funny." Sky said.
He turned and walked off towards the crate as the girls approached him, before he sat on it.
"No, it looks good on you." Syd said.
"Yeah. Beats the Mr. Grouchy look you've had for weeks." Val agreed.
"You know, if you spent a little more time with the team, and not be such a loner..." Syd began.
Sky waved his right arm, creating a shield, drowning out her voice, then she touched the shield.
"Ow!" she yelped, shaking her finger.
She turned and began to get back to work, as Sky turned to them, before Val walked past his shield to glare at him.
"Sky, will you stop it with the jealously?" Val asked. "You're nothing but selfish and bull-headed. You seem to think everyone's beneath you. Just because you're top scorer doesn't mean you're the best. You don't always have to go by the book in the field."
Sky glared at her.
"How should you know?" he asked. "You never go by the book. And besides, the only test you beat me in is stealth!"
They both glared at each other.
"You know, due to your ego and attitude, I think I can see why Cruger didn't make make you the Red Ranger!" Val snarled.
Sky glared at her, before she turned around to help Syd.
In the Delta Base, Jack, Z and Bridge were in the Command Room, near the center panel with Cruger.
"So, what would Grumm want with diamonds?" Z wondered.
"Engagement ring?" Bridge suggested.
Kat turned around to them all, who stood by a panel on the right side.
"Not likely." she said.
The Rangers turned to her as she approached them.
"Diamonds, if properly converted can mimic Hellarium Crystals." she explained.
"So, Grumm's looking for energy?" Cruger deduced.
"That's what my thoughts are too, sir." came a voice.
Everyone turned as a woman with black curly hair came towards them all, wearing a grey uniform.
"Cadet Bailey, I take it you examined the sample they brought back?" Cruger asked.
"Yes, sir." Bailey said, stopping on Jack's left. "Kat's right. Diamonds can be converted into energy, meaning Grumm's probably after them to power up his army. I think it's best that those diamonds remain safe until they can be properly retrieved."
"Good suggestion." Cruger said.
"Who are you?" Jack asked.
"Jane Bailey, I work in the crime lab." Bailey explained.
"Wait, Jane?" Z inquired. "Are you Val's roommate by any chance?"
"Yes." Jane confirmed.
The alarm went off, making everyone turn, Kat approaching the panel again, as Jack looked down, and saw Ringbah's robot on a screen on the center panel.
"Looks like he's found it." he said.
"Those Krybots must've stolen some during your fight with them." Jane deduced. "My guess, this is a diversion to lure you all out."
"I agree. Go, Rangers!" Cruger ordered.
A little later, Delta Runner 1 raced down the tunnel and out of the base, followed by Delta Runner's 3 and 4.
In the city, Ringbah's robot began to march off, as the three Delta Runners arrived on the scene.
"Activating transformation Delta." Jack said.
He pressed his buttons, extending Delta Runner 1's claws.
"Right with ya." Z said, pressing a button.
Delta Runner 4 lifted its high-beams off of itself, as Delta Runner 3's back extended out, then the blade shot out of it. They both combined together via Delta Runner 1's claws, which then attached them both to its left back wheel.
"Hope this works." Jack said.
Back at the warehouse, Sky was sitting on the crate in annoyance, as Syd stood admiring a diamond, while Val drank some water from a canteen.
"Do you think a hundred carets is a bit much?" Syd asked.
Sky scoffed as Val turned to him.
"Me either." Syd said.
"That depends on your point of view." Val said.
"Fair enough." Syd said.
Sky took out his morpher and opened it up in 'phone' mode.
"Break for Jack, it's all clear at the warehouse." he reported, looking around. "Ready to join you."
"Negative, Sky." Jack said. "We're engaged in battle. Maintain position."
Syd and Val both turned to Sky.
(The city)
"The Troobians are up to something." Jack explained. "Send Syd and Val as backup."
(The warehouse)
Sky turned to the girls, annoyed and angry with his order.
"That's our cue." Syd said. "Later gator."
"Adiós." Val said.
They both began to walk off, when Sky closed his morpher and got up.
"I'm coming with you two." he said.
Both girls turned to him.
"Disobeying an order?" Syd questioned.
"Sky, you've never disobeyed an order." Val reminded him.
"Well, I'm sitting on the side-lines." Sky said, putting his morpher away.
"Sky, if the diamonds are gone when we get back, Cruger's gonna be mad at you!" Val scowled.
Sky ignored her and got onto his bike, as Syd turned around and walked away.
"Vas a estar en problemas por esto." Val muttered.
As they began to leave, a few Krybots came out from behind the warehouse with bags, and slowly approached the diamonds.
In the city, Delta Runner 1 raced towards the Conerose robot, as Ringbah roared. It spun around and slashed his robot's leg with the sword.
"Ah!" Ringbah moaned.
His robot stumbled back.
"Nice shot, Jack." Bridge remarked.
"I think that got him good." Z said.
The Conerose robot shot lighting from its claw hand, creating a small explosion behind Delta Runner 1.
"Or maybe not." he said.
He lifted his Zord up slightly so only the right wheels were on the ground, as it raced towards the Conerose robot.
"Punch it!" Jack said.
Delta Runner 1 raced towards and past the Conerose robot, slashing it with the sword as it did, making it fall to the ground and blow up, as Delta Runner 1 put its left wheels back on the ground, then it skidded around to watch the explosion.
"Yeah!" Jack said, holding his thumb up.
Jack, Bridge and Z all jumped out of their Zords and dived towards the ground.
"Yeah." Z said.
They all landed in front of Ringbah, who survived the explosion and looked at them, just as Sky, Syd and Val all showed up morphed behind them.
"That was uncalled for!" Ringbah roared.
Sky, Syd and Val took their places in the line.
"Your backup's arrived." Syd said.
"Great." Jack said, turning to her and Val.
"Not quite." Val said, pointing to her right.
Jack turned and saw Sky, making him approach him.
"Sky, I told you to maintain you position! What about the diamonds?" Jack asked.
"They'll be fine." Sky insisted. "Look, I'm better suited for battle."
"That's not the point!" Jack argued.
"You can't battle me when you're battling yourselves." Ringbah said.
"He's right about that." Jack agreed.
"Okay, thanks." Sky scoffed sarcastically. "Now surrender!"
"Who's gonna make me?" Ringbah scoffed.
"1, SPD Red!"
"2, SPD Blue!"
"3, SPD Green!"
"4, SPD Yellow!"
"5, SPD Pink!"
"6, SPD Purple!"
"Rangers, ready!" they all said, stomping their left feet, holding their left fists up, with their right hands behind them.
The screen split into six, Sky in the top left, Jack in the top middle, Syd in the top right, Z in the bottom left, Val in the bottom middle, Bridge in the bottom right. The sirens on their helmets wailed, before they stood up and held up their morphers.
"Space Patrol Delta!" they shouted, as the 'Police' badge popped up behind them.
"Oh, yeah?" Ringbah scoffed.
He tossed up a Krybot sphere, which shattered, then dozens of Krybots landed on the ground.
"Get them!" he commanded.
Jack brought out his blasters and crossed his forearms over, while Sky brought out his knuckle, as Z, Bridge and Syd brought out their blades, then Val brought out her knuckle. The Krybots charged at them all, who charged back.
"Yah!" they yelled.
Jack jumped and fly kicked two, as the others all blocked ones attack each with their weapons, before Bridge and Syd both spun around and slashed theirs with their blades. Z spun around and kicked hers away, while Val banged hers in the chest with her knuckle.
Sky whacked ones head with his knuckle, then he jumped over a railing down towards a lower level, grabbing one and pulling it down with him as he landed. He threw it away, then he got up and hit ones chest with his knuckle, then he spun around and hit another's arm with it, before kicking a third's chest.
Bridge - now weaponless - did four backwards handsprings past several of them, knocking a few aside as he did, before he spun around and tackled one, then he jumped and spun around, kicking another.
Z knocked two's arms up with her own as they tried to hit her, then she slashed ones chest, then turned and slashed the other.
Syd stabbed one in the chest like a fencer, then she turned around and ducked, hitting another's leg with her blade.
Val ducked as one tried to kick her, before she hit its chest with her knuckle, then she spun around and kicked another's chest as it came at her, knocking it down.
"Delta Blasters!" Jack shouted, spinning around.
He held his arms out and fired them, hitting two in the chest, then he spun around and held them like his arms were folded, firing again, hitting another two. He spun around and held them like that again, firing and hitting another two, then he spun around and crossed his forearms over, firing and hitting another two.
"Hey!" Ringbah said.
The Rangers all gathered together and stared at him, all but Jack with their blades.
"Don't forget me?" Ringbah said, holding an axe weapon.
He charged at the Rangers.
"Come on!" Jack said, as they charged back.
He and Bridge both spun around and slashed Ringbah across the chest with their weapons as they ran past him. The girls all jumped and dived towards him, stabbing him with their blades.
"Ah!" he moaned.
Sky somersaulted forward and slashed him down the chest, then kicked his chest, knocking him down and away.
"Got him." Sky said.
The others all gathered around behind him. (Val was between him and Syd)
"Time for you to be judged for your crimes." he said, putting his blade away.
He took out his morpher and held it up in 'Judgement' mode.
"Judgement mode!" he shouted.
He pressed the button, opening it up, starting the red X blue 0 sequence, as the clock came around Ringbah.
"I'm innocent!" Ringbah swore. "I was framed!"
The X flashed on Sky's morpher, then the others saluted, as he brought out his blade and knuckle. He combined them to make his Deltamax Striker, then aimed it at Ringbah.
"Guilty as charged!" he said. "Deltamax Blaster!"
He fired it at Ringbah, which hit and make sparks and lighting come out of him.
"AHH!" he moaned.
He turned around as smoke came out of him, before he fell onto his chest, creating an explosion around him.
"We're taking you in!" Sky said, taking his Deltamax Striker apart, then put both pieces on his belt.
"Never!" Ringbah growled, getting up, clutching his chest.
"Wanna bet?" Sky said. "Confine criminal!"
He fired a beam from the button at Ringbah, which hit him and trapped him into a Containment Card.
"NO!" he yelled, before it happened. "Huh, not fair?"
"That's how it's done." Sky said, pointing forward, before touching the number of his chest with his thumb. "Blue Ranger style."
On Grumm's ship, Grumm and Mora were in Mora's room, which was now full of diamonds, as Grumm laughed.
"Excellent. This is going to be easier than I thought." he said. "Store the remaining gems in the energy field!"
Mora put some diamonds down and turned to him.
"Work, work, work? Don't you ever just want to play?" she asked.
"Huh? No." Grumm answered.
He laughed evilly as Mora rolled her eyes.
Later, at the Delta Base, Sky was in the Command Room with Cruger, who both stood by the center panel, which showed Krybots stealing the diamonds at the warehouse.
"Your decision to disobey Jack and to leave your post has net the enemy a great prize." Cruger scowled.
Sky put his head down, not believing his bull-headedness and jealously had gotten the best of him.
"With the disappearance of the A-Squad, this was the worst possible time for your selfishness." Cruger added.
"Yes, sir." Sky understood, seeing what Val meant about his ego.
"We can't win every battle, but when we allow our emotions to control our actions, we give the enemy an added advantage." Cruger explained. "Dismissed."
Sky looked up and saluted.
"Sir." he said, before he turned and walked off.
As he left the room, he passed by Jane, who didn't look please.
"You do realize you've just given Grumm and endless supply of energy?" she said. "This is gonna make it harder for us to stop him."
Sky nodded as he walked past her, as she turned to him, folding her arms in annoyance.
Later, Jack appeared outside Sky's room, who lay on his bed without his jacket, holding a picture, before he knocked on the door.
"How'd it go?" Jack asked.
"Brutal. Two weeks on night watch." Sky answered, which was his punishment for letting the Krybots steal the diamonds.
He looked at the picture, which was of his younger kid self and his father in his Ranger suit, expect the helmet, which young Sky held. His Dad's suit resembled Wes Collins' suit, as Bio-Lab from Silver Hills had helped create SPD's Earth technology and as such, his Dad's team's suits resembled the Time Force Rangers.
"Mind if I come in?" Jack asked.
"Suit yourself." Sky said.
Jack came in and sat down on Bridge's bed, then rubbed his hands and took a deep breath.
"Look, Sky, the reason why I left you at the warehouse was because, I was pretty sure those Krybots were coming back, and you're our strongest fighter." he explained.
"Yeah, right?" Sky scoffed, disbelievingly.
"I'm serious." Jack assured. "Especially after Jane said the battle was probably a diversion so the Krybots could get the diamonds."
Sky sat up on his bed and put his picture down on the table beside his bed.
"I know you don't trust me yet..." Jack said, as Sky rolled his eyes. "...and hey, hey, I don't blame ya, okay. I'm still learning to trust myself. But I'm willing to work with you, if you're willing to work with me."
He got up from Bridge's bed as Sky thought.
"What do you say?" Jack said.
Sky sighed, for his ego and bull-headedness had allowed Grumm to get the diamonds, and his jealously wasn't helping the team at all.
"Well, it's not working bumping heads." he admitted, bumping Jack's fist. "Truce."
"Alright." Jack said.
He turned and began to leave, but then stopped in the doorway.
"Hey, we're gonna go play some Light Ball." he said.
"I got a..." Sky began.
He turned to the table, seeing a glove like the ones the others had earlier.
"Yeah." he said, picking it up. "I'll not only play, I'll win. And this will even the teams up."
Jack smiled before they both left the room, Sky putting the glove on as he did, both knowing it'll be a while before they could properly trust each other.
