Shoutouts:

Unknown: No, I'm not bringing Tomars. On Dekaranger, his counterpart was destroyed, and since the word 'Deleted' appeared on the computer, I doubt he survived. Besides, he's one of the aliens Slate can turn into, which might be what Cruger meant about him coming back.


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.

In the Delta Base at night-time, Cruger walked down a hallway with his sword, as lighting went off in the sky.

"The Battle of Sirius, you took everything from me!" he roared.

He stopped and panted, holding his sword up.

(Flashback)

On Sirius years ago, Cruger and his comrades all fought Grumm's forces, who laughed as he watched.

"Hyah!" Cruger yelled, slashing his sword.

Grumm stood on top of a pile of rubble, as his ship flew over him.

"Attack!" he commanded.

Cruger stood with his left hand out, surrounded by Krybots.

"Doggie!" Isinia called. "Doggie, help?!"

Cruger closed his eyes as he got blasted.

"AHH!" he growled, falling over.

(Reality)

Cruger panted, before he held up his sword and morphed up.

"AHH! Hyah! But not this time. I am waiting, Grumm!" he roared.

(Grumm's ship)

Grumm stood behind the control panel, looking at a hologram of Cruger.

"Yes. The time is right." he said, touching his cut-off horn. "I accept your invitation, Doggie Cruger!"

He eyes glowed as he shook his left hand in the air.


The next morning, Cruger and Kat both walked down a hallway, as several Cadets ran ahead of them.

"Why is Commander Birdy coming here?" Cruger demanded. "That overstuffed pelican and I do not get along!"

"He is not a pelican." Kat said, as more Cadets ran past them. "He's your supreme Commanding Officer and you get along with him just fine."

Cruger turned to her, before he walked off in annoyance.

"Shuttle landing in Bay 3." a woman reported.

"I hope." Kat sighed, before following Cruger.

In the docking bay, the Rangers and dozens of other Cadets - including Boom and Jane - all stood in formal uniforms, as a shuttle monorail car docked and landed in front of them. The Rangers formal uniforms had the girls wearing skirts, none of them with their blasters, the 'Police' badge on their right shoulders, the 'SPD' ones on the left side of their chests, and another smaller 'Police' badge with wings on either side on the right side of their chests.

Cruger stood by the door of the shuttle, as it opened up, showing Commander Birdy, who wore a black outfit with golden lines along the chest, shoulders and arms, as well as black boots, and a sword holder on his left hip, which had a sword in. He was a bird/pelican alien with a short beak, big black eyes, and had short feathers all over his head.

"Welcome to SPD Earth Station..." Cruger began, as Birdy stepped out and walked down the bay hallway. "...Supreme Commander Birdy, sir."

He followed Birdy down the hallway, as Kat sighed.

"Hello, Cruger." Birdy said sternly, looking around.

"Cadets, ten-hut!" Sky said.

Everyone stood at attention as Birdy stopped and looked at the Rangers. (Val was between Z and Syd)

"Hmm?" he muttered, walking past them.

He stopped near Sky and turned around to Cruger.

"Commander, where is this SPD squad that you brag so much about?" he asked.

"These are my SPD Power Rangers, sir." Cruger said, motioning at them.

Birdy turned and looked at them, looking unimpressed.

"Really? These are the Power Rangers?" he said. "Well, I expected different. How proud you must be, Commander? Shall we continue this in the Command Center?"

He turned around and walked off towards the stairs.


Later, in the Command Room, Birdy stood by one of the right wall panels, as Cruger and Kat stood behind him.

"It must be nice, working in a state of the art facility?" Birdy inquired, turning around to them.

"No complaints, sir." Cruger said. "The technology you see was built by Dr. Manx here."

He turned around and motioned to her, who smiled.

"Well, well, I'll have to see about getting your Dr. Manx up to Supreme Command." Birdy said.

"I'm quite happy here...sir." Kat assured, nervously.

Birdy eyed her as the alarm went off, making Kat turn to the center panel, one of the screens showing a Gladiator Robot in the city - this one a darker shade of grey.

"Rangers to your stations." she said, pressing a button on it.

(Elsewhere)

The Rangers all stood behind a glass barrier on an upper floor hallway, all holding their morphers open in 'Phone' mode.

"A robot is attacking the city." Kat explained.

Jack held up his morpher.

"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, Z in the top right, Bridge in the bottom left, Val in the bottom middle, Syd 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 soon raced their Delta Runners through the city.

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.

The Gladiator Robot - which was piloted by a green-headed alien with flashing yellow eyes called Invador - came at the Delta Squad Megazord, before they both slashed their swords together, locking them together,

"I'll crush you!" he roared, clutching his fists.

The Delta Squad Megazord and the Gladiator Robot both pulled back, before they slashed each other down the chest, knocking each other back.

(Delta Base)

Cruger and Birdy both watched the battle from a panel screen.

"Uh!" Jack moaned.

"The Megazord should've stopped that blow." Birdy said. "Red Ranger should've anticipated!"

"There are procedures, Commander." Cruger said. "Strategy. Be patient?"

"Patience?" Birdy questioned. "You were patient on Sirius?"

"That was uncalled for, Commander!" Cruger said, turning around.

"That's Senor Commander Birdy, Cruger." Birdy corrected. "Your superior."

"Understood." Cruger said.

"Understood what?" Bridy scowled.

"Understood, sir." Cruger grumbled.

(The city)

The Delta Squad Megazord had its sword locked with the Gladiator Robot's shield.

"You're mine!" Invador roared, pointing forward.

The Delta Squad Megazord moved back before the Gladiator Robot slashed it down the chest with its sword, then across the chest with it, before it came at the Delta Squad Megazord again.

"Look out!" Jack yelled.

The Delta Squad Megazord jumped up and held up its Delta Sword, then slashed it down diagonally, slashing the shield out of the Gladiator Robot's hands.

"What?!" Invador exclaimed.

The Delta Squad Megazord slashed its sword up diagonally, knocking the Gladiator Robot's sword out of its hands.

"AHH!" Invador 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 Gladiator Robot, making sparks come out of it.

"AHH! AHH!" Invador cried, as sparks came into the cockpit.

The Gladiator Robot fell onto its chest and blew up, as the Delta Squad Megazord stared at it.

"Nice work, guys." Jack said, punching his fist, before holding his right thumb up. "We got him."


In the Command Room of the Delta Base, Birdy turned to Cruger with a frown.

"That robot should never have gotten into the city!" he snarled, getting Cruger's attention. "This is not good commanding, Cruger. You should've split up the Rangers, and let them fight on two fronts."

"Sometimes I do split them up. However, today I feel their strength lies in their team." Cruger explained.

"Oh, you do?" Birdy snarled. "Split them up immediately, for good!"

"That would be our downfall." Cruger argued. "If the Rangers are separated, Grumm will pick 'em off one by one. You're putting them and Earth in danger!"

"This is an order, Cruger, not a conversation!" Birdy snapped.

"I cannot support this decision." Cruger said. "I will not!"


Later, the Rangers - back in their normal uniforms - Kat, Boom, Jane and other Cadets were all standing at the bottom of a set of stairs, as several Cadets ran down different flights to join the crowd. (Val was on Z's left while Jane was on Boom's right)

"Birdy's brief stay is a little too long for me." Kat sighed.

"I heard that." Jack agreed quietly. "That makes seven of us."

"Uh, seven." Boom whispered.

"You mean nine." Jane corrected quietly.

Cruger and Birdy both came down the steps and stopped in the middle.

"Attention!" Sky said.

Everyone stood at attention, before Jack took a step forward.

"Commander Birdy, speaking for the entire SPD Earth Station, we hope you have enjoyed your visit, sir." Jack said.

"Thank you, Sky." Birdy said.

"It's Jack, sir." Jack corrected.

"And now, Commander Cruger has an annoucment to make." Birdy said.

Jack stepped back to join the others.

"To all personal and to my Rangers, I want to thank you for your loyalty." Cruger began.

Some people - including Sky - smiled proudly.

"It's been my privilege to lead the SPD forces, and my honor to have served with you all." Cruger continued, touching his heart. "As of today, I am relieved of duty."

This news shocked everyone, with Sky and Jack both turning to each other, while several people - including Jane - held their mouths open slightly.

"You are no under the leadership of Supreme Commander Birdy." Cruger explained, sighing.

He lowered his head as Birdy smiled.


A little later, the Rangers were all walking up a set of stairs together, all puzzled by Birdy's decision.

"Why would Birdy relieve Cruger of his command?" Z questioned. "I mean, I hope it wasn't because of us."

"No way." Bridge insisted. "Earth is the last place Grumm hasn't conquered and that's because of us and Doggie Cruger."

"Maybe Birdy thinks we should be attacking Grumm, not waiting for him." Sky suggested.

They reached the top of the stairs and walked off slightly, expect Jack who stopped by the edge.

"What are you saying?" he asked. "You think Cruger was doing a bad job?"

The others all stopped and turned to him.

"If you remember correctly, he already lost a squad of Power Rangers." Jack recalled.

"Jack's right." Val agreed. "Cruger's never sent us off like the A-Squad in case it leaves Earth defenceless. Still, why would Birdy relieve Cruger?"

Kat came over to them all.

"He was relieved of duty because he was trying to protect you." she explained.

"What do you mean?" Syd asked, confused.

"Commander Birdy ordered your squad split-up. Cruger refused." Kat explained.

"Well, then I'll refuse." Z said. "We'll all refuse."

"We can't do that, Z." Sky argued stubbornly. "Birdy is now our Commanding Officer and we obey orders, even if we don't agree with them."

"Sky's right. You are Power Rangers, SPD. You follow the chain of command." Kat said.

The Rangers all sighed and turned around, before they walk off.

"¿Por qué siento que las cosas van a cambiar por aquí?" Val muttered quietly.


Later, Kat walked into the Command Room and approached left side of the center panel, as Birdy sat in Cruger's chair behind his desk. She began typing on the panel, when Birdy turned his chair around.

"Ah, Dr. Manx, I was just about to call for you." he said, getting her attention.

Kat stood at attention as he began to slowly approach her and the panel.

"I want you to install another monitor. And make a note to add silent alerts to the Rangers' uniforms." he said, as Kat began to work again. "And let's start thinking about replacing these Rangers."

Kat looked down, not liking that idea, when the alarm went off.

"Report?" Birdy asked.

"It's an energy alert, sir." Kat explained. "It indicates any unusual surge. Excuse me?"

Birdy looked down at the screen, which showed a map of the city, with a blip on it, as Kat worked.

"Sir, this reading is off the scope." Kat explained. "I've never seen anything like it before."

"Well, call the Rangers!" Birdy ordered. "Ah!"

He reached for a button Kat was reaching for, pressing it before she could.

"Rangers, report to the Command Center!" he ordered.

Kat sighed as she backed away slightly, just as the Rangers all ran into the room.

"Rangers reporting, sir!" Jack said, as they stood at attention. (Val was on Syd's left)

"We've had a report of an unusual energy surge." Birdy explained. "Red, Blue and Green Rangers, I want you to investigate."

Kat turned to him in disbelief.

"Yes, sir." Sky understood.

"Just Red, Blue and Green?" Z asked.

Birdy turned around to her sharply.

"Is there a problem, Ranger?" he asked sternly.

"No, sir." Z answered, knowing better to argue.


Later, Jack, Sky and Bridge - now morphed - all got onto their bikes in the garage.

"Let's do it." Jack said.

They all revved up their bikes and began to race off.

"Wahoo!" Jack whooped.

Once outside the base, Jack turned his bike right and raced it down the street, followed by Bridge and then Sky. They all kept racing down the street, until they arrived at the area of the energy surge, which resembled an old sports field, that was covered in junk and old cars.

"Okay, here we are." Jack said, as they pulled over. "Let's check it out?"

"Hmm?" Bridge muttered, as they looked around - Sky putting his hand on his chin. "I don't see anything."

They all stared at a dust cloud ahead of them.

"Maybe, but I got a bad feeling." Jack said.

"Something's there." Sky said, lowering his hand. "Look?"

They all looked at the dust cloud, when they heard an engine noise, and Grumm himself came out of it on a motorbike, laughing slightly. It's head resembled the end of his staff, which rested beside him, and he had a shield on his right arm.

"No way, it's Grumm?!" Jack exclaimed.

Grumm pulled his bike over in front of the Rangers, revving it up as he laughed.

"This is what we trained for, guys." Sky said, clutching his fist.

"Yeah." Jack and Bridge said, holding theirs up.

"Let's go!" Jack said, as they revved up their bikes.

They all raced towards Grumm, who laughed and held his arms up, before he revved up his bike and raced towards them all.

"Fire!" he shouted.

He fired lasers from his bike, which hit the ground behind the Rangers, creating explosions as they swerved their bikes around.

"Whoa!" they yelped.

"Punch it!" Jack said.

He and Bridge fired lasers from their bikes at Grumm, who lifted his bike's front wheel up, then jumped it up to dodge the blasts, which hit the ground and created an explosion near him. He landed his bike down between Jack and Sky, then he turned and skidded his bike 90 degrees to his left, pulling it over. He took out his staff and held it up, then fired a blast from it, which hit the ground in front of the Rangers, creating an explosion. Jack and Sky both turned right as Bridge turned left, who then pulled over near a car.

"Whoa!" he yelped.

He turned left, seeing no sign of Grumm, but then turned right and saw Grumm jump his bike over the car.

"Where did he...?" Bridge began, turning around.

Grumm turned around and aimed his staff at him, which fired a blast which hit the ground behind Bridge, creating an explosion which knocked him up.

"Whoa!" Bridge yelled. "WHHHOOAAA!"

He back flipped through the air and hit the roof of the car on his back.

"OH! AH!" he moaned, before rolling off it onto the ground on his back. "OH!"

Grumm pulled his bike over and turned to Bridge, laughing, when blue laser blasts hit the ground around him, making sparks come up from it.

"AH!" he growled, shielding his face with his left arm, before lowering it. "Who dares?"

Sky raced his bike towards him, before he fired blasts from his bike, which hit the ground in front of Sky, making sparks come up from it.

"Whoa!" Sky yelped. "AHH!"

He went flying off his bike as an explosion went off in front of him.

"AHHH!" he yelled, flying away.

He hit the ground on his back, as Jack raced his bike over towards him.

"Hang on, Sky." Jack said.

Grumm began racing after him, who raced past a car and crate.

"I'm coming!" Jack called.

Grumm revved and sped his bike up, getting neck and neck with Jack, before he laughed as they jumped their bikes up.

"Yah!" Jack yelled.

He took out his blasters and aimed them at Grumm.

"Fire!" he shouted, firing them.

Grumm laughed as he deflected the blasts with his shield, before he grabbed his pedal. He lifted himself up slightly and kicked Jack's chest, knocking him off his bike.

"WHOA!" Jack yelled.

He went flying away as Grumm landed his bike on the ground.

"AHH!" Jack yelled, before hitting the edge of a car roof. "OH!"

He rolled off the car and onto some barrels on his chest, before onto the ground on his back.

"Uh!" he moaned.

He clutched his chest as he moaned, as Grumm raced over and pulled over his bike near him. He laughed as Jack rolled onto his side and looked at him.

"You are the mighty Power Rangers?" Grumm scoffed. "Give Anubis a message; tell him I am waiting here for him."

He laughed as he revved up and raced his bike away, while Jack turned and tried to get up, but fell to his knees.

"Ah! That was brutal!" he groaned, panting.


A little later, the three boys had returned to the Delta Base, panting as they stood before Birdy in the Command Room, with Kat behind them.

"That energy surge...it was Grumm." Jack explained.

"He's here?" Birdy questioned, getting up shocked. "And you let him defeat you?"

"Sir, that may not be a fair-" Kat began.

"Anything further to report, Rangers?" Birdy asked, snarling.

Sky closed his mouth, glaring at him, while Jack frowned slightly. Bridge however, began looking from them both to Birdy and back repeatedly.

"Yeah. Uh-" he began.

"No, sir." Sky cut in. "We were lucky to get away when we did."

"Dismissed." Birdy said.

"Welcome to the new SPD, Sky." Jack muttered.

The three Rangers all turned around and walked past Kat and out of the room.

"Ah." Birdy sighed.

He sat down in the chair and began to think.

"Curger may not have been able to defeat Grumm on Sirius, and the Rangers failed today." he mumbled. "Humph? If you want something done right, you do it yourself. And if Grumm is looking for a fight, I will give him one."


Outside, Kat came up behind the boys in a hallway, as two Cadets walked past them.

"D-Squad leader report to..." a man said.

"Grumm did say something, didn't he?" Kat inquired.

The Rangers all turned to them.

"It was a message for Cruger." Jack explained.

"It was a personal message." Sky added. "He wants to meet Cruger on the battlefield."

"You didn't hear this from me, but I think Commander Cruger would like to know about this." Kat said, thinking fast. "Only one of you should go. If all of you are gone, it'll arouse suspicion."

"I'll go." Jack said.


A little later, as the door of the Command Room opened up, Kat stepped in, seeing Birdy putting his sword onto his uniform. He turned around as he strapped his gloves onto his hands, as Kat approached him.

"What's the alert, Commander Birdy?" she asked.

"There's been a report of a wanted criminal in C Sector." Birdy explained. "I want you to send Yellow, Pink and Purple."

"Sir, I'd like to analyse the situation first and see who is best suited?" Kat requested.

"Are they not capable? They're Power Rangers, are they not?!" Birdy scowled. "Do not question my orders, Dr.! Just do as I say!"

He walked past her and out of the room as she moved aside and turned to him, before putting her head down.


Later, the girls all arrived in C Sector, which was a beach, Z and Syd in the jeep, Val on her bike, before Z and Val pulled over.

"Have you guys noticed that Birdy seems to be keeping us and the boys separate?" Val asked, taking off her helmet.

"Yeah. First he sends the boys off alone, and now us." Syd said.

"Uh, can we talk about this later?" Z asked.

"Right. Sorry, Z." Val said, getting off her bike.

Syd and Z got out of the jeep and closed the doors.

"It was Sector C, right?" Z asked.

"That's what I heard." Syd said.

"Same here." Val said.

They all stood in front of the jeep and looked around, when an alien wearing Chinese robes and a hat popped up on the sand. (Val was on Syd's right)

"I am Changtor. Welcome to my beach party, where you're the guests of honor." he said, getting their attention as he pointed at them.

The girls all looked amongst each other.

"Our first and last party game is called 'Bring in the Rangers and collect a big reward from Broodwing'." Changtor said.

"Hmm? Love that game." Z smirked. "What 'bout you, girls?"

"Oh, I love it." Val smirked, grinning.

"Me too." Syd said. "But I'm really disappointed you didn't tell us there was a dress code. Just a sec, okay?"

Syd and Val both turned to Z, before they all nodded. They all took out and held up their morphers.

"SPD Emergency!"

(Morph sequence)

The screen split into three, Val on the left, Syd in the middle, Z on the right. They both pressed their morpher's buttons, shooting out the holograms on their suits, morphing them up, before their helmets appeared on them.

(End morph sequence)

Val jumped and somersaulted forward, followed by Syd, and then Z.

"Hyah!" they all yelled.

They all landed on the sand crouched down, before they got up and turned to Changtor.

"Nice outfits." he joked, turning to them.

"Thanks." the girls said, before charging forward. "Yah!"

Changtor brought out a pirate-shaped sword and charged at them.


Meanwhile, Birdy was at the old sports field, looking around for Grumm.

"Show your face, Grumm!" he called, before he took out his sword. "Come out and fight?"

Grumm raced towards the scene on his bike, getting Birdy's attention, before he pulled over.

"Huh?" he muttered.

"Ah..." Birdy said.

"Who is this they sent to fight me?" Grumm demanded, pointing at him.

"Supreme Commander Flower Birdy." Birdy answered.

"I asked for Doggie Cruger, Supreme Commander." Grumm hissed, shocking Birdy. "You will do for now."

He revved his bike up and raced towards Birdy, who braced himself. Grumm fired lasers from his bike, which hit the ground behind Birdy as he jumped up, creating an explosion. He dived at Grumm, who jumped his bike up, and then blocked Birdy's sword with his shield, then punched Birdy's chest.

"AH!" Birdy moaned.

He spun around as he dived down, hitting the ground on his side.

"OH!" he moaned.

He rolled onto his back as Grumm landed his bike on the ground, before he raced away.

"Ah!" Birdy groaned, clutching his shoulder.

Grumm skidded his bike to a stop, before he skidded it around 180 degrees. He laughed as he raced over to Birdy and fired lasers from it, which hit the ground behind him, creating an explosion which knocked him up.

"AHH!" he groaned. "AHH!"


In the city, Jack walked through a small park towards Cruger, who sat against a tree, out of uniform.

"Sir." he said.

"Hmm." Cruger muttered.

"Grumm is here, on Earth." Jack explained. "He's put out a challenge for you. He wants to meet you on the battlefield."

"Does Birdy know this?" Cruger asked.

"No, sir. The message wasn't for him. It was for our Commander." Jack explained.

He saluted as Cruger lowered his head slightly, closing his eyes.

"Ah." he sighed.

(Flashback)

Years ago, during the battle of Sirius, Cruger and Grumm faced each other amongst some rubble of a building. They both spun around as lasers went past them, before Cruger sliced off Grumm's right horn - which was how he lost it - which fell to the ground.

"NO!" Grumm cried, falling to his knees.

(Flashback ends)

Cruger opened his eyes and lifted his head, groaning softly.


In the Delta Base, Kat stood behind the center panel, looking at two screens on one section, one showing the girls fighting Changtor, the other Birdy fighting Grumm.

Syd jumped past Changtor, who tried to slash her with his sword, before she rolled along the sand. They then turned to each other, before Syd got up and spun around, as Birdy lay on his back, groaning.

Cruger came into the room behind Kat.

"It's going badly, isn't it?" he inquired.

"Syd, Val and Z are holding their own, but Commander Birdy is in trouble." Kat explained.

"He's a fool. He's no match for Grumm." Cruger said.

"No, he isn't." Kat agreed, before she turned around. "Sir, I have something for you. Will you come with me?"

"I know what you're trying to do, Kat." Cruger said.

"Good, all the more reason for you to come with me, sir." Kat said.

She walked past Cruger out of the room, then turned left down the hallway.

"Ah..." Cruger sighed, before he turned and followed her.


At the beach, Syd charged at Changtor and tried to fly kick her, but he blocked it with his sword, before she landed on her feet. Z came over and spun around to kick him, but missed as he ducked, then he blocked a punch from her with his forearm, before he grabbed her arm and pulled it down.

"Ah!" she moaned.

Changtor lifted his leg up to kick Syd, but missed as she did a side flip backwards to her left. He then turned and tried to slash Z, but missed as she ducked and spun around, lifting his arm up, making him spin around.

"Whoa!" he yelped.

He tried to stab Z with his sword, but she blocked it with her hands, then kicked his chest, knocking him back.

"Oh!" he moaned.

"Mi turno." Val smirked, holding her fists up.

She charged at Changtor, then jumped and tried to fly kick him, but missed as he spun around and backed away, then she landed on her feet. She dodged as he tried to slash her down the chest, before she ducked and spun around, tackling him onto his back.

"OH!" he moaned.

Val did two backwards handsprings away from him as he got up, as Syd held up her hands like choppers.

"Ha! Hyah!" she yelled, jumping up.

She twirled around in the air before landing on her feet, then she spun around to tackle Changtor, who lifted his right leg up. She then jumped up and kicked his sword, before spinning around and kicking his chest, knocking him back.

"OH!" he moaned.

Z jumped up and flipped backwards in the air as she dived forward, before she fly kicked him in the chest.

"Hi-yah!" she yelled.

"OH!" Changtor moaned, stumbling back.

Val and Syd both charged forward, then Syd ducked as he tried to slash her, then he jumped as Val spun around to tackle him. Syd then grabbed his arm and lifted it up, before she let go and did a sideways handspring to her right, making him fall onto his back.

"OH!" he moaned.

Val jumped over him, then Z did sideways handspring over him, before they both turned to him as he got up. Z grabbed his left arm, then kicked his chest, knocking him back slightly.

"OH!" he moaned.

Val spun around and kicked his chest hard, sending him flying away, before Syd spun around and kicked the back of his legs, sending him flying away.

"AH! OHH!" he moaned, back flipping through the air.

He hit the sand on his side and rolled over, before sitting up, as the girls held up their blades. (Val was in the middle)

"Ha!" they yelled. "Hyah!"

They all jumped up and somersaulted forward.

"NO!" Changtor cried, getting up.

All the girls slashed him down the chest with their blades, making him stumble back as sparks came out of him.

"AHH!" he moaned.

He fell onto his back as green lighting came out of him.

The girls put their blades away and turned to each other.

"We did it." they said, Val high-fiving Z and Syd together. "Yeah!"

They all held their right fists up, as Changtor got up.

"Look what I can do?" he said.

He put his thumbs on his chest, causing lighting to surge through his body, before he jumped up and turned into a ball of green light. It shot towards the city, before it turned back into him, now giant. He laughed as the girls all moved away and looked up at him.

"Whoa!" they gasped.

Z took out her morpher and opened it up in 'Phone' mode.

"Hey, guys, we want the team back." she said.

The Delta Runners all arrived on the scene and raced towards Changtor, as the girls jumped into theirs.

The screen split into six, from left to right, Sky, Z, Jack, Val, Syd and Bridge.

"Megazord online!" they shouted.

The Delta Runners all combined into the Delta Squad Megazord, which held up the Delta Blaster as the sirens around its body wailed.

"Let's do this?" Changtor dared, pointing at it.

"You look a little washed out." Z retorted.

The Delta Squad Megazord fired its water cannon from its Delta Blaster, hitting and splashing Changtor all over.

"OHH!" he moaned, before he fell onto his back. "Uh!"

"It's Judgement time for you, buddy!" Z said, holding her morpher in 'Judgement' mode.

She pressed the button, opening it up, starting the red X blue 0 sequence, as the clock came around Changtor. The X and 0 flashed on and off on the badge.

"No!" he cried, getting up. "This is all a big mistake!"

The red X flashed on the badge and morpher.

"Guilty!" the Rangers said.

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 Changtor all over.

"Whoa! AHH!" he moaned, as sparks came out of him.

He fell onto his chest as the Delta Squad Megazord turned around, then an explosion went off around him.


Back at the sports field, Grumm was riding circles around Birdy, laughing as he did, before he pulled over. He got off his bike and approached Birdy, who groaned while clutching his chest.

"You sorry old bird." Grumm snarled.

Birdy tried to slash him, but he grabbed his forearm and pulled it down.

"Prepare to be vanquished." Grumm sneered.

He laughed when a laser blast hit his chest, knocking him away.

"AH!" he moaned.

He hit the ground on his back, as Birdy turned around, seeing Cruger - now morphed - jump an ATV up over some barrels and hay. It had a grappling hook cable on the front, with police sirens above the steering pedals and on the back of the seat, was colored mostly in aqua blue - including the inner part of the wheels - black and red, with 'SPD' on the sides and the middle of the steering pedals, which had two blasters in the middle of each siren.

"Hyah!" he yelled.

"Cruger?" Grumm snarled, sitting up.

Cruger landed his ATV on the ground and raced towards Grumm.

"Shadow Ranger?!" Birdy exclaimed, outraged.

Cruger kept racing his ATV, as Grumm got up and ran over to his bike, before he got on it. He laughed as he revved it up, then he raced it towards Cruger, as Birdy sighed.

"I am here, Grumm!" Cruger growled.

"At last, my revenge!" Grumm cheered, as they fired lasers at each other.

The blasts missed them both, before they jumped their ATV/bike up, as an explosion went off between them. They dived past each other, then landed their vehicles on the ground.

"Uh!" Cruger grunted.

He skidded his ATV around 180 degrees and raced after Grumm.

"Lasers, locked!" he said, pressing a button with two fingers.

"Hey?" Grumm exclaimed, turning around.

"Fire!" Cruger shouted, firing his ATV's lasers.

Grumm pulled his bike over and lifted the back wheel up while turning it around, making the lasers hit the ground near him, creating an explosion before he put the wheel down.

"My turn." he said, firing lasers.

The blasts hit the ground behind Cruger, creating an explosion as Cruger jumped his ATV up.

"Hyah!" he yelled.

He landed his ATV on the ground and raced forward.

Birdy clutched his arm as he watched, as the Rangers all showed up and gathered around him.

"You okay, Commander?" Jack asked.

"He disobeyed my orders!" Birdy growled furiously, pointing his sword at Cruger, who skidded his ATV around near a car.

"And if he didn't, you wouldn't be around right now." Jack reasoned, as Birdy turned to him.

"AH!" Birdy growled, turning back to Cruger.

Cruger skidded his ATV around as Grumm chased after him on his bike. He fired lasers from his bike, which hit a covered up car, as Cruger turned his ATV to his right, then turned it left and raced off. Grumm fired again, hitting another car, then Cruger skidded his ATV around to dodge some more blasts, before he raced off, with Grumm right behind him.

"Game over." Grumm said.

He fired lasers from his bike, as Cruger skidded his ATV around 360 degrees, making the blasts miss him, as Grumm kept firing. Cruger skidded his ATV to a halt as a blast created an explosion right behind him, before he looked up at Grumm, who kept racing towards him.

"Come on?" Cruger dared, revving up his ATV.

He raced it towards Grumm.

"Full throttle!" he shouted, jumping it up. "Hyah!"

Grumm looked up at him and jumped his bike up towards him, before they both took out their weapons. Cruger got up and kicked his feet on his seat, before he back flipped as he dived towards Grumm, then kicked his shield. He then back flipped up through the air, and dived down, slashing Grumm across the chest as he did, damaging his back.

Grumm side flipped to his left off his bike, as Cruger dived towards his ATV.

"Hyah!" he yelled.

He landed on it, as Grumm landed crouched down behind him, then he landed his ATV. Grumm got up and turned around to him, his eyes glowing with anger, as Cruger skidded his ATV 180 degrees to his left, then pulled it over.

"This is what you get for messing with SPD." Cruger said, waving his right hand around - his front fingers up.

He turned his ATV's pedal and fired the lasers from it.

"Fire!" he shouted.

The blasts hit the ground behind Grumm, creating an explosion which knocked him up.

"AHH!" Grumm yelled.

He hit the ground on his back as Cruger got off his ATV, then put his sword in his right hand.

"It's all over, Grumm." he said.

"Don't be fooled, Cruger!" Grumm growled, pulling himself up. "You may have won this time, but I swear to you this; it will be a long battle, with many surprises."

"Nothing you do surprises me, Grumm. I will be waiting, and this time, SPD will prevail." Cruger promised.

Grumm growled and aimed his staff at Cruger, shooting lighting from it, but Cruger deflected them with his sword, which hit the ground and created sparks around him. He looked up at Grumm, but saw he had vanished, along with his bike.

"You'll never take Earth, Grumm." Cruger swore. "I promise you that."

He turned and walked over to Birdy and the Rangers, Birdy putting his sword away.

"Well done, sir." Jack said.

"You all did well, Rangers." Cruger remarked, stopping near them all.

He looked at Birdy, before raising his sword above him.

"SPD!" he shouted.

"SPD!" the Rangers shouted, saluting.

Birdy looked around at them all, before looking at Cruger squarely.

"SPD." he said, saluting.


Later, Birdy and Cruger - now back in uniform - stood in the docking bay Birdy's shuttle was in, staring at the Rangers, Kat, Jane, Boom and all the other Cadets, who stood at attention in front of them - the Rangers wearing their formal uniforms. (Val was between Syd and Z)

"I have written my highest recommendation to the Central Command, regarding these Rangers of yours, Cruger." Birdy assured. "A fine group."

"That they are, sir." Cruger agreed.

Kat smiled as Birdy saluted, then everyone did the same back. They all stood at ease, before Cruger and Birdy both turned around and walked towards the shuttle.

"I still think there are certain areas in which SPD could be improved." Birdy said. "Like, for example; the Supreme Commander staying out of his best Commander's business."

They stopped by the doors, before Birdy turned around to Cruger.

"I couldn't have a finer leader than you, Anubis." Birdy commented.

"Thank you, sir." Cruger said, bowing his head.

"The galaxy's depending on you." Birdy said, as the door opened up. "Bring it home for all of us."

He turned and walked into the shuttle, before turning to Cruger.

"I will, sir." Cruger promised, bowing his head.

The door closed, before the shuttle shot off and out of the docking bay.

Sky turned to his friends as the girls giggled slightly.

"Yes." Z whispered.

"Pensé que nunca se iría." Val muttered.

Cruger turned around to them all.

"Wipe those silly looking grins off your faces!" he barked, approaching them all. "If you think that is gonna be a hoilday around here now, well you're wrong! You're soft, spoiled, stubborn, every last one of you."

He stopped in front of them all as they stared at him, expect Kat, who lowered her head.

"Aren't you supposed to be attending some training at this practical moment?" Cruger asked.

"Huh?" Sky and several others muttered.

Everyone looked amongst each other, before all but Kat turned around and ran towards the stairs and up escalators.

"Oh." Bridge muttered, being one of the last.

Cruger approached Kat, before he stopped and turned to her.

"Ooh, it's so good to be back." he said.

Kat turned away as he approached the escalators.

"And good to have you back, sir." she said.

She turned around to follow him, as the ball of light followed slowly behind her unknowingly.
