A/N: This is my third original chapter for SPD.
Please read and review?
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. Cruger stands behind an explosion in the quarry. They all stand in the cockpit of the Delta Command Megazord as it powers up, before their numbers are counted down. The Delta Squad Megazord does the Delta Strike. The sirens on the Cruger's helmet beeps, followed by the others, 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.

Go, go, S.P.D!
In the city at night time, a female black bat-like alien with large wings, blue eyes, fanged teeth, two toes on each foot and three fingers on each hand called Baterose, swooped down towards a jewellery store. She landed on her feet just outside the store, then stared at all the jewellery from the window.
"Yes. My precious." she said, rubbing her hands.
She smashed the window with her right hand, then swooped into the store slightly, as the alarm blared. She grabbed several necklaces and diamonds, putting them in a bag, and then opened the cash register. Once stealing the money from it, she jumped out of the window, spread her wings out, and flew up into the sky.
"Ha, ha! Another successful robbery." she laughed. "The Police will never catch me!"
She flew off past several buildings as she continued to laugh happily.
The next morning, in the Delta Base, the Rangers all stood before Cruger in the Command Room, who sat behind his desk.
"We have received reports of a bunch of robberies happening over the world." he began. "Whoever this person is, they are sneaky."
"What makes you think it's the same person, sir?" Jack asked.
"Because they all have one thing in common; they all have a smashed window, and are in and out within a few minutes, without a trace of who was there." Cruger explained.
"Do you have any idea where they might strike again, sir?" Sky asked.
"I'm afraid not." Cruger sighed. "And since it's not specific places that gets robbed, there's no pattern to help us. I want you all to be on the lookout for any sign of another robbery like this."
"Yes, sir." the Rangers said.
"Dismissed." Cruger said.
The Rangers all saluted, then turned to leave.
"Uh, I'd like you to stay a moment, Cadet Lopez?" Cruger said.
"Yes, sir." Val understood, as she stopped and turned back.
The others all approached the door, which opened up, before Syd and Z both stopped and turned to Val and Cruger.
"I wonder what Cruger wants with Val?" Z said.
"You got me." Syd said. "Must be important."
"And private if Cruger doesn't want us around." Sky added, turning to them. "Come on."
They all turned and left the room, as the door closed behind them, leaving Cruger and Val alone in the Command Room.
"Val, I have received a report from the an intelligence network about our suspect in this case." Cruger explained. "I have a special assignment for you. This is what I want you to do."
Meanwhile, Baterose stood on a rooftop proudly, when Broodwing came towards her.
"Impressive work." he said.
Baterose turned around to him.
"Broodwing?" she gasped. "What do you want?"
"Well, I have someone who's heard of your talents, and wants you for something." Broodwing explained.
"Really? And what's that?" Baterose asked, folding her arms.
"All in good time. Emperor Grumm wants to meet you on his ship." Broodwing explained. "He can explain everything."
"Emperor Grumm?" Baterose exclaimed.
"Oh, yes." Broodwing assured, turning around.
He walked off, leaving Baterose thunderstruck.
That night, in the city, Val walked down a street - out of uniform - before she stopped and looked around, seeing a nightclub across the street. She walked across the street and entered the nightclub, seeing a bunch of Humans and aliens were watching TV together by the counter. She walked over towards it, before she saw the TV showed a car race.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"A big race is coming up?" a Human man said, who had black hair. "We're betting on who's gonna win."
Val turned and saw a hologram of the bets, which said 'Darkendor Odds 4-1, Villamoss Odds 8-1, Trakenson Odds 2-1, Kontest Odds 5-1, Psyctic Odds 6-1'.
"Hmm?" Val muttered. "I'll take 100 on Villamoss."
She took out some money from her pocket, and put it on the counter.
A little later, after a series of five races, Val had used up a lot of money, most of it on credit as she didn't have it on her, as she was getting nervous.
"You've lost quite a lot, Miss." the Bookie said, who was a lizard like alien. "Another bet?"
"Well, I haven't got any left, not much credit either." Val explained.
"Well, sorry. I'm afraid you have to go." the Bookie said.
"Bien." Val sighed, getting up.
She turned around and walked towards the door and pushed it open. When she stepped outside however, she saw Syd leaning against the jeep, her arms folded.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I, uh..." Val began.
"Val, have you been betting on races?" Syd asked. "You know that's against regulations if Cruger finds out."
"Syd, you don't understand." Val sighed. "I had no choice. Someone's holding my IOU."
"What?" Syd gasped, lowering her arms. "How much do you owe?"
"Nearly 5000." Val sighed.
"5000?" Syd exclaimed. "You haven't got that kind of money? How much time do you have left?"
"None." Val sighed. "They gave me four days to find it. If I can't pay, they'll inform Cruger. You know the rules there."
"You'll be kicked out." Syd gulped. "Val, maybe I can-"
"Syd, no?" Val asked, holding her hand up. "I'd never be able to pay you back."
She walked off and got in the jeep as Syd turned around to her, before she ran over to the driver's side.
"I won't tell, but if Cruger finds out, I can't cover for you." she said, as they strapped in.
"I understand." Val sighed.
Syd revved up the jeep and raced it away.
Meanwhile, on Grumm's ship, Grumm stood by the control panel with Broodwing, as Baterose came towards them both.
"Here she is, Emperor." Broodwing said.
"Ah, yes. Baterose." Grumm said. "It is a pleasure to have you here."
"So, it's true, you have heard of me?" Baterose said. "Now, exactly what do you want with me, Emperor Grumm?"
"I need you to steal for me, the Gems of Despair." Grumm explained.
"The Gems of Despair?" Baterose inquired, folding her arms. "What is that?"
"The Gems of Despair, are some of the most powerful objects in the galaxy, that contain legendary power." Grumm explained. "In my hands, they will allow me to gain unlimited power for my army, which will allow me to conquer Earth and beyond, as well as allow me to destroy the Power Rangers, once and for all."
"So, where is this Gems of Despair?" Baterose asked.
"In the New Tech City worldwide Research Facility." Grumm explained. "Can you steal them from there."
"There's no place I haven't been able to break into." Baterose explained. "But I will need some help for this one."
"I can provide you with that, for the right price of course." Broodwing said.
"Oh, I can afford that." Baterose assured. "But I think I'll need help besides robots to pull this off. Give me a few days to scout the area and get help, and I'll have it for you?"
"As you wish." Grumm said. "As long as you get the Gem of Chaos, you will be rewarded handsomely."
His eyes glowed as he clutched his fist.
The next day, in the Command Room, Cruger sat behind his desk, as Val stood in front of him, while the other Rangers all stood near the center panel.
"You know the charges brought against you, Cadet Lopez?" Cruger asked.
"Yes, sir." Val replied.
"SPD Regulations state that betting money is forbidden, regardless of the circumstances." Cruger said. "I have no alternative but to ask for your resignation."
"Yes, sir." Val understood.
"Hand over your morpher?" Cruger said.
Val took out her morpher and handed it to him.
"I want you out of the base by this afternoon." Cruger said.
The other Rangers turned to each other in shock.
"You were a good Cadet, but the rules must be upheld." Cruger said. "Go."
"Understood." Val said.
She turned around and walked off to her left, when the others all turned to her.
"Val?" Jack said.
Val stopped and turned to them all.
"Goodbye, guys." she said.
She turned and walked out of the room, leaving the Rangers all confused.
"Sir, you can't just kick Val out like that?" Jack asked.
"That's enough, Cadet." Cruger said.
"But, sir-" Sky began.
"Enough!" Cruger roared. "Get out!"
The Rangers all turned and walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Baterose stood on a rooftop opposite the Research Facility, looking at it through a pair of high-tech binoculars. It was a building with 13 floors, but had no guards outside, but she could see several inside.
"Hmm?" she muttered, lowering them. "No guards outside, but the inside looks heavily secured."
She turned around and walked away, putting her hand on her chin.
"I can get in easily enough, but I have to get out without being spotted." she said. "I'll need someone to stand guard to let me know when it's clear. I better start searching."
A little later, Val - out of uniform - was at Piggy's Café, sitting at a table alone, while other aliens sat at others, including a Tenga, and ones resembling Nightscream, Dash, Viperess and Fleatis. She had her arms folded as Piggy came over to her, putting a clean drink of water in front of her.
"I'm surprised you're not in uniform?" he said. "But I'm glad since my customers haven't run off."
"Piggy, I've been fired from SPD." Val explained.
"Fired?" Piggy inquired, shocked. "What for?"
"For betting money away." Val sighed.
Baterose landed in the street nearby and approached the café.
"Why would you do that for?" Piggy asked.
"I owe someone a large IOU and I couldn't afford it." Val sighed. "I was desperate I had to break the rules to get it."
"Oh, now that's harsh." Piggy said. "They couldn't give you more time before ratting you out?"
"No." Val sighed, shaking her head. "I barely have enough to pay for this."
"Uh, right." Piggy said.
Val took some money from her pocket and handed it to him, but he didn't take it.
"Uh, you can have it on the house." he said. "You might need that later."
He turned around and walked away.
"Man, poor kid." he muttered.
Val put her money away and drank some water from her glass, when Baterose came over and sat down beside her.
"Forgive me but I couldn't help overhearing your predicament." Baterose said.
"Oh, really?" Val said, putting her glass down.
"Yes." Baterose said. "Something about owing people money."
"Yes, I do." Val replied bitterly. "And I've got no way to pay them."
"Hmm? Perhaps we can help one another." Baterose suggested.
Unknown to them both, Piggy was listening in.
"What do you mean?" Val asked, turning to her.
"I have a job to do that I will be paid most handsomely with, but I need some help." Baterose explained. "I need someone to stand guard while I do my job as I can't be seen leaving the building."
"And you want me to do that?" Val asked. "Where?"
"I will tell you if you accept my offer." Baterose assured. "So, what do you say?"
Val turned away slightly to think, before she turned back and smiled.
"Okay, I'm in." she said, before they shook hands.
"Okay, let's go." Baterose said, getting up. "There's a cabin in the hills we can talk."
Val got up before they both walked off together, as Piggy stared at them both.
Back in the Delta Base, the B-Squad all met up in the Common Room, Bridge and Z sitting on beanbags, the others on couches.
"I still can't believe Cruger just fired Val like that." Z said.
"Tell me about it." came Jane's voice.
The Rangers turned as Kat and Jane both came in.
"Even Kat doesn't know what's going on?" Jane said.
"Did she pack all her things from your room?" Syd asked.
"Well, here's the thing; she only took a bit." Jane replied. "She's left most of it here. I don't get it. And I haven't been assigned a new roommate yet either."
"That's weird." Z said, folding her arms. "Just what is going on here?"
"Yeah? Why would she leave most of her stuff if she's been forced out?" Bridge said. "Or Val decided to leave that stuff behind as she doesn't want or need it?"
They all looked puzzled.
"Okay, let's figure this out." Jack said. "Val broke the rules, right, since she betted at that nightclub?"
"Syd, you found her, right?" Z recalled.
"Yeah." Syd answered. "She told me something had her IOU."
"So, that's why she was betting money away at that nightclub?" Bridge deduced. "But, why?"
"Sounds like she was pretty determined to ruin her career." Sky deduced. "She never betted money away before. She may not be by-the-book, but it sounded like she just broke a serious rule for no reason at all. There has to be more too it, and I don't think it's an IOU."
"I agree." Kat said.
"Yeah, it's like there's more going on here than we know about." Jane said.
"Okay, that's it." Jack said, getting up. "I say we go out there and find Val. Try to reason with her."
"Look, I agree, but I think only one of you should go." Kat advised. "It Commander Cruger finds out you're all gone, it could arouse suspicion."
The Rangers all looked amongst each other.
"I'll go." Bridge said, getting up. "I'll be able to track her with my powers."
"Okay, but keep it touch." Jack said. "I doubt we'll be able to fool Cruger for long."
"I will." Bridge promised, before he left the room.
On Grumm's ship Grumm was standing behind the control panel, looking at a hologram of Baterose.
"I have the help I need." she reported. "Once I've explained everything, we'll make our move, Emperor."
"Excellent." Grumm said. "I'll be watching your performance."
"I won't let you down." Baterose promised. "Just make sure I get paid well once I've completed the task."
"Oh, you will." Grumm promised.
He turned a knob and turned the hologram off, then he turned around.
"Soon, the Gems of Despair will be mine, and I will have unlimited power in my hands!" he laughed evilly, his eyes glowing.
Meanwhile, at Piggy's Café, Piggy stood by a table, as aliens sat at the tables, mostly the ones from before, but now with ones resembling Baboo and Izout.
"Here you go." he said, putting a plate full of food on a table. "Hope you like it."
"It's SPD!" a female alien cried.
The aliens all got up and ran off, some knocking over their tables, as Piggy turned around.
"Hey, where you going?" he called.
Bridge came up towards Piggy from behind.
"Oh, let me guess; SPD?" Piggy sighed.
He turned around to Bridge.
"Wait, you're alone?" he asked. "That's weird?"
"Piggy, I need your help." Bridge said.
"Oh, again? What is it this time?" Piggy whined, as he turned and walked off.
"It's Val." Bridge explained. "Have you seen her?"
"Val? You're recently fired teammate?" Piggy asked.
"Yes." Bridge answered. "You know, dark hair, Latin skin, has purple on her uniform?"
"I know who she is." Piggy said. "But what's in it for me?"
Bridge took out a bag of rotten and disgusting food, which included old sandwiches and bacon.
"These." Bridge said. "That is, if your Café can use them?"
"Oh, yes. I could really use them." Piggy said. "Alright. Your friend was here with Baterose, who's a known criminal."
"Was? Where are they now?" Bridge asked.
"Well, I don't know exactly where, but Baterose said they were going to a cabin in the nearby hills." Piggy explained. "That's all I know."
"Right. Thanks." Bridge said.
He handed Piggy the bag, then turned around and walked away, before he put his morpher to his mouth, opening it up in 'Phone' mode.
"Guys, I think I've found her." he said.
(Delta Base)
Kat, Jane and the other Rangers all stood around the center panel.
"Where are you?" Kat asked.
"I'm just leaving Piggy's." Bridge explained. "He told me Val and an alien called Baterose were heading for a cabin in the hills."
"Call us back when you find her." Jack instructed.
(Piggy's Café)
"Right." Bridge understood.
He ran off and approached Val's bike, deciding it be better to use that than his own as it would attract less attention.
(Delta Base)
Kat, Jane and the Rangers all turned to each other.
"All we can do now is wait." Jane sighed.
The door opened, and Cruger came in, getting their attention.
"Who was that?" he asked, as he'd overheard them talking.
"Bridge, sir." Sky answered.
"Where is he?" Cruger asked.
"Uh..." Z muttered.
They all looked amongst each other, not knowing what to say.
"Um, he's out, sir. He's checking on some stuff." Syd lied.
"Next time he contacts the base, let me speak to him?" Cruger demanded.
He walked off towards his desk, as everyone turned to him.
"That was close." Jack muttered.
Later, Val and Baterose were inside a cabin outside the city, both facing each other near a table.
"Okay, so what do you want me to help you with?" Val asked.
"My next plan is to rob the Research Facility." Baterose explained.
(Outside)
Bridge raced Val's bike over towards the cabin, before he pulled it over near the cabin.
(Inside)
"So, your plan is to rob the Research Facility? For what?" Val asked.
"To steal the Gems of Despair hidden in a safe." Baterose explained. "Emperor Grumm will pay me handsomely for obtaining them."
"You want to steal the Gems of Despair?" Val questioned. "If they fell into the wrong hands, they could do the unthinkable?"
"If you haven't already guessed, I've been hired by Grumm already. So you will help me or be destroyed!"
"I, uh..." Val muttered.
"Who's side are you on?" Baterose spat.
"Yours." Val replied.
"Well, you'll have a chance to prove it." Baterose smirked, her ears popping up. "I can sense a Power Ranger right outside. If you're with me, blast him."
They both turned to the door.
(Outside)
Bridge stood by the door, before he touched the handle.
(Inside)
"Do it." Baterose hissed.
Bridge opened the door, only for Val to aim a blaster at him as he stepped inside.
"Val, wait?" he asked.
Val ignored him and fired her blaster, hitting his chest and knocking him down onto his back.
"I think you've proved where your loyalty lies." Baterose said. "Let's get going?"
A little later, in the Delta Base, Cruger sat behind his desk, staring at Kat, Jane, and the other Rangers.
"Alright, I want the whole story." he said. "What's going on?"
"Bridge went to find Val, sir." Jack explained. "We've been covering for him."
"Idiots!" Cruger growled, slamming his fists against his desk. "You may have jeopardized the whole operation! Get me Bridge at once, Kat!"
"Yes, sir." Kat said.
(The cabin)
Bridge lay on his back as his morpher beeped, not moving a muscle.
(Delta Base)
Kat stood behind the center panel as Cruger came over, while Jane and the Rangers stared at her.
"He's not answering, sir." she said, puzzled.
"Keep trying?" Cruger said.
(The cabin)
Bridge sat up and shook his head as his morpher kept beeping, his vison blurred. It soon cleared, before he touched his chest, seeing he was not injured by the blast.
"Huh?" he muttered.
He took his right glove off and waved it around, which played a recording of what happened, seeing Val firing at him, but with a disguised stun blast.
"She fired a stun blast?" he muttered.
His morpher beeped again, making him take it out and open it up in 'Phone' mode.
"Sir?" he said.
(Delta Base)
"Where have you been?" Cruger demanded.
"I was-" Bridge began.
"Is Cadet Lopez with you?" Cruger asked.
"Uh, Val. No, sir." Bridge replied.
"Well, I can tell you all now. She's been working undercover." Cruger explained.
The Rangers and Jane all looked amongst each other, while Kat looked puzzled.
"What?" Jane muttered.
"Huh?" Z muttered.
"I knew there was something going on here." Sky muttered.
"Sir, why didn't you tell us?" Jack asked.
"I'll tell you all later." Cruger replied. "Carson?"
(The cabin)
Bridge stood by the table, still holding his morpher.
"Well, sir, she was here, but not anymore." he explained.
"Well, take a look 'round." Cruger instructed. "She might've left a clue."
Bridge looked at the table, seeing a folded up note on it. He picked it up and opened it up, seeing something written in Val's handwriting.
"Baterose's target is the Research Facility. She's after the Gems of Despair."
"Sir, she left a note. It says Baterose is going after the Gems of Despair at the Research Facility." he explained into his morpher.
(Delta Base)
Cruger looked up at the everyone else.
"This is not good." he muttered. "If Grumm gets his hands on those, he'll be able to do the unthinkable. Rangers, get over there and stop Baterose. I'll have the Gems of Despair removed before Val and Baterose arrive."
"Yes, sir." the Rangers said, saluting.
(The cabin)
Bridge picked up his morpher.
"Yes, sir." he said, before closing it up.
(Delta Base)
"And give this back to Val." Cruger instructed, holding up Val's morpher.
Syd took it from him, before the Rangers all turned and ran out of the room, as Jane and Kat both looked at Cruger confused.
"Sir, just what is going on?" Kat asked.
"I'll tell everyone when this is over." Cruger promised. "Until then, be prepared."
Kat nodded and turned around, before Jane sighed and followed her.
Later, Val and Baterose both stood outside the Research Facility, looking around as they stood by the front door.
"I'll handle the robbery myself." Baterose explained. "I need you to stand guard here in case trouble arises."
"Understood." Val nodded.
Baterose spread her wings out and flew up towards the 10th floor of the building, as Val leaned against the wall with her arms folded.
"I hope Bridge found the note." Val muttered.
Baterose put her hands on the glass, seeing there were no guards around in the room, before she spotted a safe across from it. She sniggered as she punched the glass window, smashing a big hole it in, setting off alarms. She flew into the room and landed near the safe crouched down.
"Time for the lasers." she smirked.
She fired a laser from her left wing, which hit and began to cut open the safe. She pulled the door off, seeing a case inside it, which she picked up.
"They must be in here." she said. "Time to book."
She flew off towards the window and out of the room, just as three guards all stormed in, but saw no sign of her.
"Huh?" one muttered.
"What the?" another said.
Baterose flew down towards the ground, before she landed beside Val on her feet.
"I've got it." she said.
"So, when you gonna rip up my IOU?" Val asked.
"Once we get paid, I'll give you your share." Baterose assured. "Now let's get outta here."
They both turned and began to ran off, when they heard an engine noise.
"You hear that?" Baterose asked, her ears popping up.
"Yeah." Val answered. "Sounds like an engine."
They both turned around as the noise got louder, and saw the B-Squad Rangers all pulling over, Sky on his bike, Bridge on Val's bike, the rest in the jeep. Sky took his helmet off as they all got of their vehicles, before they ran in front of them.
"Hold it right there!" Jack said, pointing at Baterose.
"The Rangers?" Baterose gasped, looking at Bridge, before turning to Val. "You didn't destroy him? You tricked me?"
Val smirked as she walked over towards her friends, before she turned to Baterose.
"I had to earn your trust, so I fired a fake stun blast at him." she explained. "You didn't even notice. And that IOU, it's just been my cover story."
"What?" Baterose gasped.
"She left a clue behind before she left, which I found." Bridge explained. "So, after I told the others, we knew what your plan was."
"And we've been waiting for you too arrive since." Jack finished, folding his arms.
"And just so you know, Commander Cruger called and had the Gems of Despair removed from here before you arrived." Sky added, smirking.
"What?!" Baterose gasped.
She opened up the case she had, only to find it full of stones and rocks, which fell to the floor.
"AHH!" she growled, throwing the case away.
Syd turned to Val and handed her her morpher.
"Here." she said. "The Commander's kept it while you've been undercover."
"Thanks, Syd." Val said, taking it.
Jack took out and his morpher and held it up.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Ready!" the others said, doing the same.
"SPD Emergency!"
(Morph sequence)
The screen split into six, Sky in the top left, Jack in the top middle, Bridge in the top right, Syd in the bottom left, Z in the bottom middle, Val in the bottom right. 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.
(End morph sequence)
They all held up their fists as they got ready to fight, as Baterose glared at them all.
"You'll all pay for deceiving me, Rangers!" she growled, before pointing at Val. "Especially you, Purple Ranger."
"We'll see about that, Baterose." Val retorted, folding her arms. "You're under arrest!"
"Well, I'm not coming in quietly!" Baterose scoffed, holding a Krybot sphere and a Blue-Head device.
She tossed the sphere up while tossing the device down, which shattered, then dozens of Krybots landed on the ground, as the Blue-Head popped up in front of them all.
"Attack!" Baterose commanded.
The Blue-Head and the Krybots all charged at the Rangers.
"Let's get 'em!" Val said.
"Right." the others said.
They all charged at the Blue-Head and the Krybots, before Val jumped over them all and dived towards Baterose.
"Huh?" Baterose gasped.
"Hyah!" Val yelled, kicking her with both feet.
Baterose went flying away, before she hit the ground on her side, as Val landed on the ground.
"Oh!" Baterose moaned.
She got up as Val brought out her blade and charged at her, before she brought out a blade from her right wing, then charged back.
Jack took out his blasters and fired them at the Blue-Head, which ducked and rolled to its right as sparks rose up from the ground. It got up and fired its bladed laser, but missed as Jack jumped up and fired his blasters, which hit the ground around it, making sparks come up from the ground.
"Ah!" the Blue-Head moaned.
Jack landed in front of it, then spun around to kick it, but missed as it ducked and ran past him, before it spun around to whack him with its bladed laser, but missed as Jack rolled away.
Z blocked a Krybot's bladed arm with her blade, then kicked its chest, knocking it back, then she spun around and slashed another two across the chest. She then blocked a third's bladed laser, then she pulled back and spun around as it tried to stab her with it, before she grabbed its forearm. She lifted it up and hit his chest with the butt of her blade, then she took off the two black rings from the top of it.
"Let's see how you like this?" she joked.
She threw them away towards some more Krybots, which exploded upon hitting the ground, sending three flying up away from it.
Bridge jumped forward and rolled over, then fired his blaster, hitting two in the chest, knocking them down. He got up and spun around, then fired again, hitting another's chest, then he got up and turned around. He jumped up as one tried to slash his legs with its blade, then he kicked its shoulder, boosting himself up, before he turned around and fired his blaster three times, hitting another three in the chest, before he landed on his feet.
Sky dodged as one tried to kick him, before he got behind it and kicked its back, knocking it onto its chest, then he spun around and kicked another's chest. He then blocked a third's blade with his forearm, before he grabbed its chest, then down onto his back and threw it over him, which hit another three, knocking them all down.
Syd blocked ones blade with her own, before she stabbed its chest like a fencer, then she spun around and slashed another up across the chest, sending it flying away, before it hit the ground. She turned around and kicked a third's chest, then she ducked as fourth tried to slash her with its blade, before she slashed its leg with her blade, tripping it up onto its back, before she got up.
"Hyah!" she yelled, kicking a fifth's chest, knocking it away.
She spun around and slashed another two across the chest, knocking them down, then she spun around and tackled a third, tripping it onto its chest.
Val and Baterose ran past and tried to slash each other, but missed as Val jumped while Baterose ducked, before they both turned to each other. They both tried to slash each other, getting their blades locked together, before they both circled each other, keeping their blades locked. They both pulled apart, then Val did a backwards handspring to avoid a slash from Baterose, before she kicked Baterose's chest as she came at her.
"Oh!" she moaned, stumbling back, clutching her chest.
She charged back at Val, who ducked and rolled past her to avoid it, before she got up and spun around, slashing Baterose's back.
"AH!" she moaned, falling onto her chest.
Jack dodged as the Blue-Head tried to kick him, then he turned and ducked as it turned and tried to whack him with its bladed laser, before he kicked its chest slightly, knocking it back.
"Oh!" it moaned.
Jack spun around before he crossed his forearms over, aiming both his blasters.
"Fire!" he shouted, firing them three times each.
The blasts all hit the Blue-Head all over, making sparks come out of it, before it fell and hit the ground on its back.
Val stared at Baterose, who pulled herself up and turned around, before she charged at her. Val ducked as she tried to slash her, before she punched her belly, knocking her back, then Val spun around and kicked her, sending her flying away.
"AH!" she yelled, before hitting the ground on her chest. "Oh!"
Val turned to Baterose as the other Rangers all gathered around behind her, before Baterose pulled herself up.
"Give it up, Baterose?" Val said. "You've lost."
"Surrender!" Jack demanded, pointing at her. "We're taking you in!"
"Oh, I don't think so!" Baterose roared. "You're not taking me in that easily!"
She took out a remote, then pressed a button on it, then a Ninja Robot rose up from the ground, this one being navy colored.
"Later, fools!" she smirked.
She jumped up and landed in the cockpit, as the Rangers all looked up at the Ninja Robot, before Val took out her morpher and opened it in 'phone' mode.
"Kat, send the Runners?" she said.
(Delta Base)
Kat sat behind her computer in the lab.
"On the way." she said.
(The city)
The Delta Runners all soon arrived on the scene, then the Rangers jumped into them.
"Hyah!" Jack yelled, landing in his. "Let's do it, guys."
The screen split into six, from left to right, Sky, Z, Jack, Val, Syd and Bridge.
"Delta Squad Megazord!" they shouted.
Delta Runner 1 lifted itself up slightly by lifting up its front wheels, pulling Delta Runners 4 and 5 onto their back ends. Delta Runner 6 split in half while in the air, then both halves attached themselves to the top of Delta Runners 4 and 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 - its front wheels rotated out - lowered itself down onto Delta Runners 2 and 3, then 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 held up the Delta Blaster as the sirens around its body wailed.
The Ninja Robot held up its right arm as it stared at the Delta Squad Megazord, which aimed its blaster.
"We're bringing you in!" Val said. "Make it easy on yourself?"
"Never!" Baterose roared, pointing forward.
She grabbed her controls and pulled the knob back, then the Ninja Robot jumped up and dived forward. The Delta Squad Megazord looked up as it dived down and kicked it with both legs, knocking it back slightly.
The screen split into six, the Rangers in the same spots.
"AH!" they moaned, wobbling.
The Delta Squad Megazord stumbled back a little more, before it stopped and stared at the Ninja Robot. It aimed and fired its blaster at it, but the Ninja Robot turned and did a sideways handspring to its right, making it miss the blast, which hit the ground, making sparks come up from it. The Ninja Robot
"¡Vaya!" Val yelped.
The Delta Squad Megazord jumped and dived to its right, making it dodge the blasts, then it fired the Delta Blaster three times, hitting the Ninja Robot, making sparks come out of it.
"OH!" Baterose yelped. "AHHH!"
The Delta Squad Megazord twirled slightly and landed on its feet.
"Lucky shot!" Baterose roared. "Let's see how you like this!"
The Ninja Robot jumped up and dived to kick the Delta Squad Megazord.
"Oh, no you don't." Val smirked.
The Delta Squad Megazord grabbed the Ninja Robot's foot as it tried to kick it, then it spun around while holding the Ninja Robot's foot.
"Hey, what the?!" Baterose gasped.
The Delta Squad Megazord kept spinning around, before it let the Ninja Robot go, which hit the ground on its side and rolled over.
"OH!" Baterose moaned.
The Ninja Robot pulled itself up and turned around, when the Delta Squad Megazord aimed its Delta Blaster, then fired its crime scene tape from its yellow cannon, which wrapped around it, trapping it.
"Ah! What?" Baterose groaned.
The Ninja Robot stumbled around, before it looked up.
"Let me go, now?!" Baterose demanded.
"Sorry, can't do that." Val joked.
The Delta Squad Megazord held up its left arm, showing Delta Runner 5's sign and badge.
"It's Judgement time for you, Baterose!" Val said, holding her morpher in 'Judgement' mode. "You are charged for various robberies and attempted theft of the Gems of Despair. Activate!"
She pressed the button, opening it up, starting the red X blue 0 sequence, as the clock came around the Ninja Robot and Baterose. The X and 0 flashed on and off on the badge.
"What in the...?" she gasped.
The red X flashed on the badge and morpher.
The screen split into six, Z in the top left, Val in the top middle, Syd in the top right, Bridge in the bottom left, Jack in the bottom middle, Sky in the bottom right.
"Guilty!" they said, all but Val saluting.
"NOOO!" Baterorse cried.
The sirens wailed all over the Delta Squad Megazord, which aimed its Delta Blaster.
The screen split into six, the Rangers numbers in their spots, before they began appearing in their places, one by one.
"6!"
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Fire!" they all shouted, holding their right hands like pistols.
The Delta Squad Megazord fired its Delta Blaster several times, hitting the Ninja Robot, making sparks come out of it.
"AHH! NOO!" Baterose cried, as sparks came into the cockpit.
The Ninja Robot fell onto its chest and blew up, as the Delta Squad Megazord turned around.
The screen split into six, the Rangers in the same spots.
"You're down." they all said, holding their right thumbs down.
The Delta Squad Megazord spun its Delta Blaster around, before putting it in its holder, which closed up.
Baterose landed on the ground, her legs splitting apart, before she fell onto her chest.
"I need to get outta here." she said, getting up.
"I don't think so!" Val yelled.
Baterose turned and saw all six Rangers standing in front of her, before Val held her morpher up.
"We're taking in you in, Baterose." she said. "Containment mode!"
He fired a beam from the button at Baterose, which hit her and trapped her into a Containment Card.
"OH! Hey, let me out!" she demanded, touching it with her hands. "Let me out?!"
Val walked over and picked up the card, before she put it away.
"And with that, case closed." she joked.
On Grumm's ship, Grumm stood behind the control panel, staring at a holographic image of the Rangers, which all ran towards Val.
"Ah!" he growled.
"Nice work, Val." Jack said.
"You really had us fooled." Sky said, impressed.
"We really need to know-" Syd began.
He turned a knob on the panel making the hologram vanish.
"Even without the Gems of Despair, I will succeed in destroying the Power Rangers and conquering Earth!" he growled, his eyes glowing angrily. "And never again, will I allow myself to be tricked by one of those Rangers!"
Later, in the Delta Base, Val - back in uniform - stood before Cruger in the Command Room, as the other Rangers and Jane all stood behind her, while Kat stood by Cruger.
"A well fought victory, Rangers." Cruger said. "Because of your efforts, the Gems of Despair are safe from Grumm's hands. I've had them taken elsewhere for safe keeping to make sure he won't try again. Excellent work on your mission, Val."
"Thank you, sir." Val said. "I really had Baterose fooled."
"That you did. You're dismissed, Cadet." Cruger said.
Val saluted, before she turned around and walked out of the room, as the others all turned to Cruger.
"Sir, why didn't you tell us Val was going undercover?" Syd asked.
"Yeah? You didn't even tell me?" Kat inquired.
"For the plan to succeed, you all had to act naturally, even you Kat." Cruger explained. "You all became concerned when I dismissed Val..."
"Which is a natural reaction." Sky finished.
"Exactly." Cruger confirmed. "This helped to deceive Grumm and Baterose."
"Well, she certainly had us fooled, sir." Jack said.
"At least this explains why she didn't take everything from her room and why you didn't assign me a new roommate, sir." Jane said.
"Yes. While I am disappointed in you for disobeying orders, it did have it's merits, since you found Val's clue inside the cabin, Bridge." Cruger said.
"Thank you, sir." Bridge said. "But I take it I'm getting punished for this?"
"Yes, you are." Cruger confirmed. "You've got to wash all the vehicles in the garage."
"Yes, sir." Bridge understood.
"And that goes for all of you." Cruger said.
"Guess you can't go unpunished for it." Z gulped.
"Wait, me too, sir?" Jane asked, pointing at herself.
"You too, Cadet Bailey." Cruger said. "You aided in lying to cover for Carson while he was out."
"Yes, sir." Jane sighed.
"Right. You're all dismissed." Cruger said.
The Rangers and Jane all saluted and turned around, before they walked out of the room.
"I assume you're not happy with me supporting them, sir?" Kat inquired.
"Yes, I am, but I understand your reasons." Cruger assured. "Anyone would've done the same. Dismissed."
Kat saluted, before she turned around and walked off, as Cruger turned his chair around. As Kat turned left and left the room, the ball of light flew after her down the hallway, not noticed by anyone.
Spanish translations:
Bien: Fine.
¡Vaya!: Whoa!
A/N: I'll admit, but I had trouble deciding on what to call the objects Baterose was hired to steal.
My next original chapter won't be until after the Rangers get the SWAT mode.
