A/N: This two-parter is my favourite episode of SPD. This is where Jack gets his Battlizer.

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 seven Rangers run down a path together. Jack holds up his blasters, then Sky holds up his, then Bridge holds up his blade, then Z holds up her blaster, then Syd holds up her blade, then Val holds up her knuckle, then Sam holds up his left wrist, touching his morpher.

Jack 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. Sam slams his throttle down on his morpher, then twists it, then does his fast punch move. Jack stands in his Battlizer Cyber mode, slashing his sword out. The main six Rangers all run away from an explosion. The Deltamax Megazord punches forward. 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 lab, Boom was working on RIC with a high-tech screwdriver, who was on a table, as Kat walked past him towards a laptop on another table, as Jane sat behind the computer at Kat's desk. A bunch of wires went from RIC to the table the laptop was on, which went under them.

"One final adjustment to the hyper transistors and RIC should be good to go." Kat explained.

"I hope this works." Jane said.

She and Kat began typing on their keyboards.

"This is gonna be beyond incredible." Boom said.

He turned around to Kat.

"Ooh, can I do the honors?" he asked, picking up a remote. "Please?"

"Oh. Okay, but be careful?" Kat said.

Boom pressed some buttons on the remote as he and Kat moved away slightly, before they and Jane all stared at RIC.

"Well, here's the moment of truth." Jane said.

"SPD Battlizer, engage!" Boom shouted, pressing a button on the remote.

Sparks began to come out of RIC's neck.

"Ah!" they all gasped.

Boom and Kat backed away as Jane got up, as RIC's head fell off and skidded along the floor.

"Ah!" Boom yelped.

RIC's head stopped by Cruger's feet as he entered the room.

"Hmm? I see the Battlizer's not quite finished?" he noted.

Boom and Jane both moved as Kat turned to him.

"A temporally setback, sir." Kat assured, as they stopped beside her. "I'm sure we'll have it fully functional right away."

Boom nodded as Jane smiled.

"See that you do." Cruger said, holding his forefinger up.

He turned around and walked out of the lab.


Meanwhile, the Rangers - expect Sam - were all in the park, throwing a frisbee towards each other. Jack and Bridge stood together, while Sky and Z stood together, as Syd and Val stood between them all.

"Ah." Syd said, catching the frisbee. "What a spectacular day."

"You said it." Val agreed.

Sky and Z turned to each other and smiled.

"I can't believe we have it all to ourselves." Syd said.

She turned and threw the frisbee to Jack, who caught it.

"No disasters..." he said, as Bridge began to chase him.

He moved to throw it, but didn't, before he handed it to Bridge.

"...no sirens." he said.

"No talking skeletons." Bridge said, throwing it.

Val caught it, then turned around and threw it towards Sky, who held his hand up.

"Huh?" Z muttered, confused.

Sky caught the frisbee and smiled.

"Whatever." Z said, taking it from him. "I just wish Sam were here to enjoy it."

"Yeah, even through he'd be in his light form." Val said.

Z threw the frisbee towards Syd, who caught it.

"Where is he?" Syd asked, catching it.

"Cruger sent him to check out a disturbance in the Strata Quadrant." Z explained, as Syd gave Val the frisbee. "He should be back soon through."

Val threw it towards Z, who tried to catch it, but Sky caught it first.

"Wherever he is, it can't be nice as New Tech City." he joked, throwing the frisbee away.

Syd and Val both smiled in shock, as Syd caught it.

"Sky, are you actually enjoying yourself?" she asked.

"Yeah? I mean, you're not at all like yourself?" Val noted.

"It's a perfect day." Sky said, as Syd tossed him the frisbee, which he caught. "What's not to enjoy?"

He tossed it towards Syd and Val.

"I got it." Syd said, reaching up.

A laser blast hit the frisbee, turning it into slime, which hit the grass in front of her and Val.

"Oh! Yuck!" she said disgusted.

"¿Que?" Val gasped.

They all turned and saw Rhinix approaching them, holding his slime blaster.

"Sorry to horn in on your fun." he said, laughing.

"I thought we already caught this creep?" Z questioned, as the Rangers gathered together. (Val was between Jack and Syd)

"We did. I still have the bruises." Syd explained.

(Flashback)

Syd holds up her morpher in 'Judgement' mode in front of Rhinix, before pressing the button, opening it up.

"It's Rhinix."

She held the Containment Card he was in, as the former captured people ran off.

"Let me out?" he demanded.

(Flashback ends)

"Well, it looks like we're gonna have to catch him again." Sky said. "Let's Ranger up."

"All right!" Rhinix said.

Syd took out her morpher and held it up.

"Ready?" she asked.

"Ready!" the others said, doing the same.

"SPD Emergency!"

(Morph sequence)

The screen split into six, Bridge in the top left, Syd in the top middle, Jack in the top right, Z in the bottom left, Val in the bottom middle, Sky 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, then their helmets appeared on them.

(End morph sequence)

"Catch me if you can?" Rhinix dared.

He turned around and ran around the corner of a building, as Syd fired her blaster at him, hitting the wall. They all ran around the corner, but saw no sign of him.

"Where'd he go?" Syd said, as they stopped and looked around.

Val turned as she heard something, before a laser fired at them all.

"Look out!" she yelled.

Everyone turned as the blast hit the ground around them, creating an explosion which knocked them up.

"AHHH!" they yelled.

Jack and Z hit the ground on their chests, Syd her side, the rest their backs.

"Uh!" they moaned.

Val looked up while clutching her chest, seeing Hardshell standing in front of them, holding up his blaster.

"Hardshell?!" she gasped, getting up to her knees.

(Flashback)

Val holds up her morpher in 'Judgement' mode in front of Hardshell, before pressing the button, opening it up. She later fired a beam from the button at Hardshell, which hit him and trapped him into a Containment Card.

(Flashback ends)

"Glad to see you remember me, Purple Ranger?" Hardshell smirked.

He turned around and ran off, as the Rangers all pulled themselves up.

"He's back too?" Z questioned.

"This is getting weird." Sky said.

Bridge turned as he heard a noise, before he turned left.

"Hey!" he said.

A familiar hand shot water from it at him, which hit his chest.

"Whoa!" he yelped.

He went flying away, then hit the edge of a small wall.

"Bridge!" Z gasped.

Bridge rolled off the wall onto his back, then he sat up, and saw Hydrax standing in front of him.

"Hello, Green Ranger." she said, putting her hand near her face.

"Hey, I remember you." Bridge said, pointing at her.

(Flashback)

Bridge holds up his morpher in 'Judgement' mode in front of Hydrax, before pressing the button, opening it up.

"You're Hydrax, the Frernovian."

He later fired a beam from the button at Hydrax, which hit him and trapped her into a Containment Card.

(Flashback ends)

"That's right." Hydrax smirked.

She turned around and jumped up high, as the other Rangers ran forward.

"You okay, Bridge?" Jack asked, as they stopped.

Bridge pulled himself up, before they all heard a familar laugh.

"Oh, no! Don't tell me?" Z said, putting her hands over her ear areas.

(Flashback)

Z holds up her morpher in 'Judgement' mode while sitting in her Zord's cockpit, before pressing the button, opening it up. Jack later fired a beam from the button on his at Bugglesworth, which hit him and trapped him into a Containment Card.

(Flashback ends)

"It's gotta be Bugglesworth!" Z exclaimed, turning left, seeing him behind a balcony.

"You got it." he joked.

He fired balls from his right hand at the Rangers, which hit the ground around them, making sparks come up from it.

"AHH!" they moaned.

Jack and Z crashed against a table each, as the others all flipped onto their backs.

"Ah!" Z moaned, falling onto her chest.

She turned around to Bugglesworth.

"Reunited and it feels so good." he teased.

He turned around and ran off, as Z jumped up towards the balcony. She landed on it crouched down, but then looked around and saw he'd vanished.

"Huh? Oh, man!" she groaned. "He's gone too?"

She turned and ran towards the edge of the balcony, seeing her friends getting up.

"I don't see him." Jack said.

"This is just crazy?" Z said, shaking her head.


Later, in the Delta Base, the Rangers and Cruger all stood around the center panel, discussing what had happened. (Val was on Sky's right)

"Maybe they busted out of their Containment Cards." Jack suggested.

"Kat said those cards were foolproof and there was no way of escape." Sky argued.

Cruger put his head down, as Kat, Boom and Jane all came in.

"And I was right, they're all still here." Kat said, holding the Containment Cards Rhinix, Hardshell, Hydrax and Bugglesworth were in.

She put them all down on the center panel so everyone could see them, banging on their cards.

"I don't get it?" Syd said. "We saw them running around in the city."

"Well, here they are, Syd." Jane said. "I just don't understand it."

"That makes 10 of us." Val said, rolling her eyes.

"Well, you can't be in two places at the same time." Bridge said.

Z's eyes glowed, cloning herself, with Z 2 patting Bridge's right shoulder.

"Excuse me?" she said, as he turned to her.

"Well... Well-well, you can." Bridge reasoned, turning to Z 1. "But you're one of a kind. I mean..."

He turned back, but saw Z 2 had vanished, then turned back to Z 1.

"This is a very serious problem." Cruger said, as Jack sighed. "We simply don't have the manpower to recapture every criminal in our files. "Bailey, I want you take a team of analysts to the scene, and see if you find a clue about what's going on. They've might've left something behind."

"Yes, sir." Jane understood.

She turned around and walked away.

"What about us, sir?" Val asked.

"Rangers, I want you to search the city grid for any disturbances." Cruger instructed.

The Rangers - expect Jack and Sky - all turned and walked towards a wall panel.

"Jack, I'm gonna need your morpher to upload a new weapons system." Kat explained.

"Ah, you got it, Kat." Jack said, taking his morpher out.

Boom laughed. "Just wait 'til you see it." he said, as Kat began working on it. "It's-It's totally awesome. Right, RIC?"

He turned to RIC, who barked, before he ran out of the room.

"Hey!" Boom said, chasing after him.

"Excellent, Kat. We'll need it if more of those goons show up." Sky said, approaching her, before taking out his morpher. "You can upgrade mine next."

"The technology was designed to work in conduction with the Red Ranger's morpher only." Kat explained.

Sky sighed and put his morpher away, as Kat turned to Jack, then back to him.

"Sorry, Sky." she said.

"No big deal." Sky said. "Should be really amazing, Jack."

He turned and walked out of the room, before Kat turned to him.

"Thanks." Jack said glumly.

Kat looked at him, before he walked out of the room.


A little later, Sky walked down a hallway, as Jack came up behind him, passing by a woman Cadet.

"Sky? Sky, I know you're still bothered that I was chosen to be the Red Ranger, but you've gotta get over it." Jack said.

Sky sighed as they stopped, before he turned around.

"Listen, I know I had a problem with that at first, and I still don't always agree with some of your methods, but you've done a good job as Red Ranger." he admitted. "This is not about you."

He turned and walked off, leaving Jack confused.

"Then what's it about?" he asked.


Later, they both stood in Sky's bedroom, Sky holding the picture of young him and his Dad.

"All I ever wanted was to be was just like him; a Red Ranger." Sky said sadly.

"Sure you're father was an incredible guy." Jack assured.

"He was my hero." Sky said.

"Sky, heroes come in all colors." Jack reasoned.

Sk put his head down and looked at the picture.

"Cadet Tate to the Command Center." Kat said.

Sky lifted his head up.


Once Sky entered the Command Room, he approached the center panel, where Cruger and Kat stood on the other side.

"Tate, I have a special assignment for you." Cruger explained.

"Whatever you need, sir." Sky said, standing at attention. "What is it?"

A hologram of a purple-skinned scaly alien with red eyes, wings on his ears, and wearing black armor clothing came up in the middle of the panel.

"This is Mirloc. He's one of the most brilliant masterminds ever." Cruger explained. "He's had his hand in every dirty deal, and he knows every shady character in the galaxy."

"He's been in a specially designed maximum security cell on Gamma Orion." Kat explained, holding a tablet. "Conventional confinement methods have proven ineffectual since he has the capability of escaping through any reflective surface."

"I see. But what do you want me to do?" Sky asked, as the hologram vanished.

"Interrogate Mirloc." Cruger explained. "Find out what he knows about these duplicate aliens."

"Don't worry, sir, you've got the right man for the job." Sky assured.

"Good luck, Cadet." Cruger said.

Sky saluted, before he turned around and walked out of the room as the door opened.

"Sir, I've read Mirloc's file." Kat said, turning to Cruger. "It says he was the last to-"

"I know that." Cruger said.

"Did you tell, Sky?" Kat asked, turning to the door briefly.

"No, I did not, and you're not to say anything either." Cruger ordered.

"He has a right to know." Kat argued.

"Yes, but not now." Cruger said. "Am I clear?"

He turned and walked towards his desk, as Kat sighed.


Later, Sky flew a spaceship towards Gamma Orion, which was a red planet.

"Cadet Tate, requesting permission to land?" he said.

Once on the surface and at the prison, he handed his blaster and morpher to a male Cadet.

"Are you aware of security measures?" the man asked.

"I know." Sky assured.

He ripped off some black duct tape, then put two pieces onto his badges.

"All reflective surfaces are to be completely covered and remain covered throughout the entire interrogation." he said.

He put dark sunglasses over his eyes to shield them, then walked past a barred door as it opened up, before he walked down a hallway. As he did, he noticed it was mostly dark, the only light coming from the cells, seeing the aliens inside three reaching for him.

"Come here?" one said, who was skeletal like.

"AHH!" another growled, who was scaly.

The third snarled, showing it had spikes on its forearms.

"Ah! To the-" it said.

"If these are the better behaved convicts, what I am in for?" Sky muttered, as he walked on.

He soon walked away from another barred door, which closed behind him, then he approached some steps. He stopped at the bottom of them, seeing Mirlock behind held in a circular cell up ahead of him, who was sitting down with his hands together, books all over his table, wearing a black prison outfit.

"A visitor?" Mirloc said, lifting his head up. "What a rare treat."

"This isn't a social visit." Sky assured, as he walked around the cell. "I'm here on official SPD business. I wanna ask you some questions?"

"What a rude young man, you are." Mirloc said, turning to him. "Now I don't think I'll talk to you at all."

"Oh, you'll talk. I've got all the time in the world." Sky said. "And by the looks of things, so do you."

He turned and began pacing in the other direction.

"You're a tough one, aren't you? All business, no nonsense." Mirloc noted.

"Never mind about me! Several criminals have been sighted-" Sky began, pacing to his right.

"I don't see why I should tell you anything? Goodbye, Cadet, whoever you are." Mirloc said, lowering his head.

"This is important." Sky said, sitting down. "What's it gonna take to get some information outta you?"

"Hmm?" Mirloc muttered, raising his head up. "I don't ask for much. You see, I'm a collector of sorts. I'll give you information and you give me a small something for my collection."

"Okay, whatever. Deal, but no mirrors." Sky warned, pointing at him.

"No, nothing like that." Mirloc said. "Now tell me about these criminals you seek?"

"Exactly duplicates of aliens we've already captured and show up throughout the city." Sky explained. "How is this possible?"

"You say, you're looking for several criminals, but did you see them altogether?" Mirloc asked.

"No." Sky replied, as he remembered seeing them one at a time.

"Then it sounds like you're dealing with that scoundrel, Slate." Mirloc said.

"Slate?" Sky questioned.

"As in blank Slate. He's a copycat criminal who's capable of mimicking the exact likeness of others." Mirloc explained. "All he needs is a data scan of their genetic code. My guess is that Broodwing is more than happy to supply him that, for a price."

He snapped his fingers as Sky got up.

"So, we're not up against an army of old enemies, just one new one?" Sky asked, approaching the steps.

"Exactly. Oh, Cadet?" Mirloc said, holding his hand up, making Sky stop. "Don't forget about our deal?"

"If you told me the truth, I'll keep my word." Sky promised, turning to him.

He turned and walked down the steps and down the hallway, as Mirloc sniggered.


Meanwhile, Broodwing was with Slate, who was a black, fur-skinned, faceless alien, with red lips, and sliver small circles on his body, three on each side of his chest, two on each leg, one on each side of his head, and one on each hand. He turned around to Slate, who put his hands on his hips.

"Well?" Slate asked, speaking with a Spanish accent.

"Wait until you see what I have for you today, Slate." Broodwing said, before he held up a data scan file. "The genetic code data from the most powerful warrior the Rangers have battled."

He pointed at a red smudge on the file, which was the genetic code data.

"If you want it, it won't come cheep." he warned.

"Give it to me?" Slate requested, nodding. "I'll add it to my repotra."


The next day, in the Delta Base, Sky had reported in what he found out from Mirloc while standing by Cruger's desk with Jane.

"A copycat criminal?" Z said, walking around the center panel. "That makes perfect sense."

"So all we gotta do is catch this Slate guy and we're golden." Jack said, approaching her.

"I'm glad you found something, Sky." Jane said, approaching him. "I couldn't find anything back at the scene."

"I'll give Slate this, he's pretty slippery if that's the case." Val commented, following her.

They all stopped on either side of Sky. (Val was on Z's right, while Jane was on Jack's left)

"Excellent job, Tate." Cruger said. "You didn't fall prey to Mirloc's tricks."

"It wasn't a problem, sir." Sky assured. "Just kept focus on the task at hand.

"Jack?" Bridge said, standing by a right wall panel with Syd.

Jack turned to them both, looking at the panel screen with them, which showed Sinuku in the city.

"Sinuku?" Jack said.

They all turned and approached Bridge and Syd, as they turned to them.

"More like a Sinuku wannabe." Bridge questioned, as they turned back to the screen. "Though I don't know why anyone would wanna be Sinuku? He's totally ugly. Plus, if I remember correctly, he has really bad breath."

"That's gotta be Slate." Z said.

"And it's time we got his number." Jack said. "Let's bag this copycat."

"This time, he won't get away." Val said.

The Rangers all turned around and ran off, as Jane turned to them all.

"Good luck, guys." she said.


Later, the Rangers all raced their vehicles down a road, the boys and Val on their bikes, Z and Syd in the jeep, Val bringing up the rear.

Sinuku somersaulted away and landed in an industrial site, just as the Rangers arrived and did the same, first Sky, then Bridge, Z, Syd, Val and Jack.

"Yah!" they yelled.

They all landed crouched down in front of Sinuku, before they got up and turned around to him, as he turned to them.

"We've had enough of your games. You're nothing but a big fake!" Jack said, pointing at him.

"Ha!" Sinuku scoffed.

He took out his sword, before Jack took out his right blaster and fired it, hitting his hand, sending his sword flying away. He looked up, as Z and Syd both jumped and dived down, kicking his chest, knocking him back. Val then jumped and twirled around, before hitting his chest with her knuckle, knocking him back, then Sky and Bridge both jumped up and slashed him down the chest with their blades, knocking him back.

Sky, Bridge, Syd and Z all turned to each other while standing in a circle, holding their arms up, before crossing them over in a boost position. Val stood in front of them, with her hands in front of her. Jack jumped up and somersaulted towards the others, before landed on his friends arms, boosting him up, then dived towards Val. His feet reached her hands, before she pushed them out, boosting him away, then he dived towards Sinuku.

"Delta Blaster!" he shouted.

He fired them both as he somersaulted over Sinuku, making sparks come up all around him.

"AHH!" he moaned.

He fell onto his chest as Jack landed crouched down, as the other Rangers took out their blasters. They all aimed at him, as Jack got up and turned around to him, then aimed his left one at him. (Val was between Z and Syd)

"You can't fool us with that disguise." Jack said.

Sinuku laughed as he pulled himself up.

"Well, then just who am I?" he joked. "Am I Sinuku..."

He held his arms out, then changed into Bugglesworth.

"...or Bugglesworth?" he said.

"AH!" Z gasped.

"Or maybe I'm..." Bugglesworth said, before he changed into Hydrax. "...the Frernovian bank robber..."

"Hey!" Bridge said.

"...Hydrax. Or I could be..." Hydrax said, before she changed into Hardshell. "...Hardshell."

"¿Que?" Val exclaimed.

"Or am I...?" Hardshell said, before he changed into Rhinix. "...the dreaded Rhinix."

"No way?!" Syd exclaimed.

Rhinix laughed, before he changed into Tomars.

"Prehaps, I'm Gen. Tomars." he joked.

"Ah!" Sky gasped.

"At this point, I don't care." Jack said.

He ran forward and tried to whack Tomars with his right blaster, but Tomars turned into a black substance and shrank.

"Hey!" Jack complained.

He looked down as it moved along the ground, before it rose up and turned into Slate.

"Meet your true enemy; Slate, the master of disguise." he said, crossing his forearms over - his hands out - before he turned his hands around, then waved them around.

The Rangers put their blasters away as they gathered together.

"You've got some serious identity issues, pal." Z said, pointing at him.

"I'm all Grumm's warriors rolled into one." Slate said, putting his hands behind his head, before putting them together in front of himself. "How please he'll be when I defeat you once and for all."

He charged at the Rangers, then jumped sideways to his left as Sky tried to tackle him, then once on his feet, ducked as Bridge ran past and tried to punch him. He then kicked Val's belly as she tried to punch him, knocking her back, then blocked a kick from Syd with his right forearm, before he turned to Z. He blocked a kick from her with his right arm, then tried to whack her, but missed as she ducked, then he spun around to kick Sky, but missed as he ducked.

"Whoa!" Sky yelped.

Bridge tried to punch him, but he grabbed his forearm, then spun around with him.

"Ah!" Bridge moaned.

Slate lifted his arm up and threw him away.

"Whoa!" he yelped, hitting some store shelves near a dumpster.

"Hyah!" Jack yelled.

Slate turned and looked up, as he dived down and kicked his chest, knocking him away.

"Ah!" he yelped.

He hit and rolled along the ground, then got up and turned, just as the girls all held up their blades.

"Hi-yah!" they yelled.

They all stabbed him in the chest, knocking him down, before he rolled onto his back.

"Okay, so you got in a couple of lucky hits." he said, pulling himself up.

He pointed at the Rangers as they gathered together, all holding their weapons.

"But I know the one creature, you won't be so happy to see." he said, waving his hands around his head and face.

He held out his arms and changed into Devastation.

"Devastation is back!" he declared.


On Grumm's ship, Grumm sat in his chair behind the control panel, as Morgana and Broodwing stood near him, looking at a hologram of Devastation.

"It's Devastation?" Morgana said, shocked.

"Not really, but a good imitation." Broodwing said. "Slate has many warriors to choose from, thanks to me."

Grumm turned his chair around to face him.

"I don't recall authorizing this plan?" he said coldly, as Morgana moved to his left. "It would serve you well to remember who is the Emperor 'round here?"

"I thought you would be pleased with my idea?" Broodwing said.

Grumm grabbed him and pulled him towards himself.

"When I want your ideas, I'll blast them out of you!" he said coldly.

He pushed Broodwing away as Morgana looked between them.

"Morgana, I need you to go to New Tech City." Grumm instructed.

"Oh, goody! I get to help Slate battle the Rangers." Morgana said.

"Yes. But I also need you to bring me an essential tool in our conquest of SPD." Grumm instructed. "Bring me Piggy?"

"Piggy?" Morgana questoned, disgusted.

"Yes, Piggy." Broodwing muttered, turning around. "He will be the key to everything."


In the city, Devastation held his right left hand up, as the Rangers stared at him.

"Fury Circle!" he shouted, as his hand lit up.

His Fury Circle came up around the Rangers.

"Oh, you're kidding?!" Z exclaimed, as they looked down at it.

Lighting came up from it, which hit them all.

"AHH!" they moaned.

"You know what to do!" Jack grunted, holding his arms up.

He aimed and fired his blasters at the circle, then Sky and Z did the same, followed by Bridge and Syd, then Val.

"It's working." Syd said.

They all kept firing at the circle, blasting it to pieces.

"No!" Devastation gasped.

Jack held up his blaster as his team held up their blades.

"Let's get him." he said.

The girls all jumped up, forming a tower, with Syd putting her feet on Jack's and Bridge's shoulders, Z on Sky's and Jack's, while Val put hers on theirs.

"All right!" they said, holding their blasters.

Devastation stared at them all.

"Bring him down." Jack said.

They all fired their blasters, hitting Devastation all over.

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

Explosions went off around him, before he turned back into Slate and hit the ground on his back.

"NO!" he cried.

He clutched his chest as the girls jumped down, before he sat up and looked at the Rangers.

"You're not supposed to beat my superior genius?!" he exclaimed, pointing at them, before scratching his head.

The Rangers all put their weapons away.

"You're not that smart." Bridge said, pointing at him.

"You're just a weak imitation." Sky joked, pointing at him.

Slate jumped up to his feet.

"I'll show you who's weak." he sneered.

He jumped up and over Jack like a leapfrog, pushing his head back with his hands as he did.

"Ah!" Jack yelped.

Slate jumped away, before the Rangers all turned around.

"Hey, look?" Jack said, touching the back of his helmet.

They all looked up and saw a Robot of Destruction skidded towards them with its boosters, as Slate laughed while piloting it.

"Kat, send the Runners!" Jack said, holding his morpher open in 'Phone' mode.

(Delta Base)

"On their way." Kat said, standing behind the center panel in the Command Room, pressing a button on it.

(The city)

The Delta Runners soon arrived on the scene, then the Rangers jumped into them.

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

"Delta Squad Megazord!" they shouted.

Delta Runner 1 attached Delta Runners 4 and 5 to its big wheels with its claws. Delta Runner 6 split in half in mid-air, 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 - its front wheels rotated out - lowered itself down onto Delta Runners 2 and 3, the others already combined with it, then its back rotated down, showing the head, forming the Delta Squad Megazord.

The Robot turned to it, as it got ready to fight.

"You'll never take me in." Slate sneered, waving his left forefinger.

The Robot of Destruction charged at the Delta Squad Megazord.

"Ah!" Jack grunted.

The Delta Squad Megazord moved and grabbed the Robot's fist as it tried to punch him, then it put its right leg between the Robot's. It then threw the Robot over itself, which hit the ground on its back. It moved towards the Robot, then grabbed its right hand, before putting its legs on the Robot's chest, pinning it on the ground.

"Hey, let me up?!" Slate begged, pulling on the lever, but it wouldn't move.

He put his left foot on it as he kept pulling, before lighting came out all over the Robot and the cockpit.

"AH! I'm overloading!" he exclaimed, touching his head, as he curved into a ball.

The Delta Squad Megazord let go of the Robot's hand, then got up and moved around, before it turned to it and held up its left arm, showing Delta Runner 5's sign and badge.

Jack held up his morpher in 'Judgement' mode.

"Slate, you are accused of numerous crimes..." he began.

The Robot of Destruction pulled itself up.

"What?!" Slate exclaimed.

"...including identity theft." Jack said.

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

"Hey, can't you guys take a joke?" Slate asked.

The red X flashed on the badge and morpher.

"Guilty!" the Rangers said.

"Guess not." Slate said.

"Ready!" the Rangers said, saluting one at a time, first Jack, then Sky, Bridge, Z, Syd and Val.

The Delta Squad Megazord aimed its blaster at the Robot of Destruction.

The screen split into six, the Rangersin the same spots.

"Fire!" they all shouted, holding their right hands like pistols.

The Delta Squad Megazord fired its Delta Blaster several times, hitting the robot all over.

"AHHH!" Slate cried, as sparks came out all over the cockpit.

He fell back into his seat, as the Robot fell onto its chest and blew up.

Slate went flying away and landed in a junkyard on his back.

"AHH!" he yelled. "Ah! I don't believe it?!"

He turned as the Rangers jumped from the Delta Squad Megazord and landed crouched down in front of some old cars.

"Ha!" they said.

They got up as Slate pulled himself up.

"What are you going to do with me?" he asked, pointing at them.

"You and all your identities are going away for a long time." Jack explained, clutching his fist.

He took out and held up his morpher, when a purple beam hit his forearm.

"AH!" he yelped, clutching it.

"Jack!" Z gasped.

"You okay?" Val asked, touching his arm.

"Yeah, watch it." Jack said.

"Morgana!" Z exclaimed.

They all turned as she approached them in her battle gear.

"I don't think so, Ranger boy." she said, stopping. "Grumm has a little present for Slate."

She fired a purple ball from her hand, which hit Slate's chest.

"AHH!" he yelled, before he turned into Devastation. "All right!"

His other forms all came out of him, Bugglesworth first on his left, the Hardshell on his right, then Tomars beside Bugglesworth, then Hydrax beside Hardsell, then Rhinix beside him, and then Sinuku beside him.

"What?!" Jack exclaimed.

"No!" Sky yelled.

"¿Tienes que estar bromeando?" Val exclaimed.

"Not again?" Syd complained.

"Oh, great, multiple maniacs!" Z said sarcastically.

"Talk about déjà vu." Bridge said, pointing at them.

All seven aliens laughed.

"It's showtime." Devastation sneered.

"Oh, man!" Jack groaned.

(Grumm's ship)

Grumm laughed as he looked at a hologram of the seven aliens on his control panel.

"Not even the Rangers can defeat that many warriors at once." he sneered.

(Junkyard)

Morgana approached the aliens so she stood near Sinuku.

"Hyah!" the Rangers yelled.

"Attack!" Morgana commanded.

The aliens all charged at the Rangers.

"Hyah!" Syd yelled, as they charged back.

She ducked and ran past Hydrax, who tried to punch her, then ducked and ran past Sinuku, who also tried to punch her. Val rolled past Devastation as he tried to punch her, then she moved and dodged as Hardshell came at her. Bridge dodged around Hydrax, as Jack blocked a punch from Devastation with his hand, while Sky got locked in a grapple with Tomars.

Z blocked Bugglesworth's right arm with her left forearm, while Jack dodged a kick from Devastation, as Val sent a kick at Hardshell, but missed as he ducked. Bridge grabbed Hydrax's forearm, before kicking her arm, as Syd jumped and spun around to kick Rhinix, but missed as he ducked, while Z moved past Bugglesworth, before they turned to her. Jack tried to ram Devastation, who grabbed him, while Val dodged as Hardshell tried to kick her, as Sky kicked Tomars in the side.

Val dodged as Hardshell tried to slash her with his bladed right arm, then spun around to tackle him, but missed as he jumped up. She got up as they both turned to each other, before he slashed her down the chest, knocking her back.

"AH!" she moaned.

She clutched her chest as she fell to her knees, before Hardshell aimed his blaster at her.

"Fire!" he yelled, firing it.

The blasts hit the ground in front of Val as she got up, creating explosions that sent her flying away.

"AHHH!" she yelled. "AH!"

She hit the side of a pile of junked cars, before she fell onto her chest.

"Uh!" she moaned.

Syd jumped up and landed on a pile of old cars, before she turned to Rhinix, who looked up at her. He fired a blast from his left hand up at her, making her jump off the pile and back flip through the air.

"Whoa!" she yelped, dodging the blast. "AHH!"

The blast hit some nearby cars, which blew up, the impact hitting her.

"Whoa!" she yelped.

She dived down and hit a car's roof on her chest, before she rolled onto the ground.

"Ah!" she moaned.

Z and Bugglesworth grappled with each other, before he threw her away, who hit and rolled along the ground.

"Ah!" she moaned, before she got up and clutched her left arm.

"Take that!" Bugglesworth said, firing balls from his right hand.

The balls hit the ground behind Z, creating an explosion which knocked her up.

"AHH!" she yelled, flying away. "AHH!"

She flew past Bugglsworth, who turned to her.

"Whoa!" Bridge yelped, as Hydrax flipped him onto his back. "Ah!"

He got up as she shot water from her right hand, which hit his chest.

"AH!" he moaned, as sparks came up around him. "Whoa!"

Hydrax kept her water on him, sending him flying away, before he hit a barrel and a few old pillars, which he knocked over, before hitting a car's roof.

"AH!" he moaned.

Sky got knocked onto a car's roof on his back.

"Ah!" he moaned.

He pulled himself up, before Tomars grabbed him, then he tried to punch Tomars, but missed as he ducked. Tomars then blocked a whack from him with his hand, before he ducked and whacked Sky's leg with his arm.

"AH!" he yelped, back flipping away, as an explosion went off. "AHHH!"

He hit the car's hood as Tomars fired a blast from his hand, which hit him and knocked him away.

"Whoa!" he yelled.

Tomars laughed as he flipped around and hit the ground on his back.

Jack lifted up Sinuku's arm, before Devastation slashed him across the chest, knocking him down onto his back.

"Ah!" he moaned.

He pulled himself up and clutched his chest, before Sinuku shot lighting from his eyes, which hit the ground behind Jack, creating an explosion which knocked him up.

"AHH!" he yelled. "WHOA!"

He flipped around as he dived towards the ground.

"AHHH!" he yelled.

He hit the edge of a car's roof, then rolled over onto his back on the ground.

"It's over, Ranger." Sinuku sneered, as he and Devastation approached him.

Jack looked up as they both laughed and pointed their swords at him.

"NO!" Jack cried, bracing himself.

Laser blasts hit Sinuku and Devastation, making sparks come up around them.

"AHH!" they moaned.

They both fell over, as Cruger raced towards the scene on his ATV.

"Hang on, Rangers!" he called.

"Commander?" Jack said, spotting him.

Cruger growled as Devastation turned to him.

"No dogs allowed!" Devastation roared, holding up his blaster.

He aimed and fired it at Cruger, who skidded his ATV to his left, as the blast created an explosion behind him. He then skidded it to his right to dodge another blast, then raced it forward, before Devastation fired again. He jumped his ATV up over some tires and junk as an explosion went off behind him, before he landed it and raced it away.

"Shadow Saber!" he shouted, bringing it out.

He jumped off his ATV and somersaulted forward, knocking Devastation's blaster down, as he landed in front of him. He ran past and tried to slash Devastation, but missed as he ducked, but then Cruger kicked his feet against a car, then turned and tried to slash him again, but missed. They both then lock their weapons together, then spin around and moved past each other, before Devastation kicked Cruger away.

"Ah!" he grunted.

He turned right as Morgana jumped up, now with her helmet on.

"Hyah!" she yelled, diving down.

She tried to slash him with her blades, but missed him by inches as he pulled his sword away, then she spun around to tackle him, but missed as he jumped up slightly and moved past her. He backed away as she got up and tried to kick him, then he ducked and rolled past her as she spun around and tried again, then he got up and turned to her, as Devastation showed up beside her.

"Two against one." Morgana said.

"Why not?" Devastation sneered.

He fired his blaster as Morgana slashed her blades in an X shape, sending them at Cruger, which hit and created an explosion which knocked him up.

"Ah! AHHH!" he moaned.

He somersaulted forward and hit the ground on his back.

"Uh!" he moaned.

Sinuku slashed Jack up across the chest with his sword, sending him flying away slightly.

"OH!" Jack moaned.

He twirled around and hit the ground on his back.

"Uh!" he moaned, before he rolled onto his side.

"You're finished." Sinuku sneered.

"Not yet!" Jack grunted.

He turned and saw Sky flipping through the air.

"AHHH!" he yelled.

He hit the ground as his side, as Z landed near him on her back.

"Ah!" she groaned.

"Guys!" Jack gasped, turning left.

"Whoa!" Bridge yelped, hitting the side of an old RV.

He turned and hit the ground on his back, as Syd somersaulted forward and hit the ground on her chest.

"AH!" she moaned, as Val dived past her.

"Uh!" she moaned, hitting the ground on her side.

"Oh!" Jack gasped.

He turned to Cruger, who clutched his chest, before Morgana and the aliens all gathered together. (Hardshell was on Tomars' right)

"Good work, my friends." she said, as they all laughed.

"We need more power." Jack said, pulling himself up.

His morpher beeped, before he took it out and opened it up in 'Phone' mode.

"Jack, I can't think of a better time to use that new Battlizer." Kat said.

"I hear that." Jack said, before he turned slightly. "Let's do it, RIC!"

He turned and put his morpher away as RIC ran towards the scene.

"SPD Battlizer!" Jack shouted, saluting, before he crossed his forearms over, then lowered them.

(Battlizer sequence)

RIC barked before a red morpher like Sam's popped up from him and shot towards Jack, landing on his wrist. He waved his arms around, holding his forearms close together.

"Activate Battlized mode!" he shouted, pressing the button.

Shoulder pad armor appeared on his shoulders, then armored appeared on his boots, then his arms, which included a small blade fin at the elbow end, then his groin. The 'Police' badge appeared on his gloves, as he held out a sword, which had a knuckle at the end like his team's weapons, a longer blade, and a small attachment at the end of the knuckle.

"Cyber mode, complete!" he shouted, slashing it down, then to his right, as the 'SPD' badge popped up behind him.

(Sequence ends)

He held his sword up diagonally, then held it down diagonally, before he slashed it around and held it up.

"Yeah. Now we're talking." he said. "Give it all you've got?"

The other Rangers all looked up at him.

"Check it out?" Syd said.

"Whoa." Bridge said.

"Dulce." Val said.

"Nice." Z said.

"Yeah." Sky said.

"Do it, Jack!" Cruger said.

Morgana and the aliens all looked at Jack.

"Boys and their toys." Morgana sneered, as Bugglesworth laughed. "Get him!"

All seven aliens charged at Jack, who waved his sword around, before charging at them.

Morgana slashed her blades in an X shape, sending blasts from them, which hit the ground on either side of Jack, creating explosions as he kept charging. She slashed her right one again, firing a blast which hit and created an explosion right behind him.

Devastation charged forward, but then ducked as Jack jumped over and kicked his back slightly, then he kicked Bugglesworth's shoulder.

"Oh!" Devastation moaned.

"Whoa!" Jack yelled.

He dived towards Sinuku and kicked his chest, knocking him onto his back, as Hydrax, Tomars and Hardshell ran past him. Jack jumped and twirled around as they all got close, before he tried to hit Hydrax with the handle of his sword, but she grabbed it, putting it on her inner elbow.

"Take that!" Jack said.

He kicked Tomars' lance, knocking it out of his hands slightly, then he spun around, kicking him, then Hardshell, then Hydrax, and then Bugglesworth, knocking them all back.

"AH!" they moaned.

"Hey!" Bugglesworth groaned.

Jack turned and kicked Tomars again, flipping him onto his back as the others fell over.

"OH" Bugglesworth moaned.

"Hyah!" Jack yelled, jumping and flipping sideways to his left.

He dived over Devastation, who tried to slash him with his sword.

"Whoa!" Jack yelled.

He landed on his feet, as Rhinix rose up behind a bunch of tires.

"Take this!" he roared.

He raised his arms up and sent five of the tires flying towards Jack.

"Uh-oh!" Jack gasped.

He slashed two of the tires as they got near them, then another two, then spun around and slashed the fifth. He turned to Rhinix, then held his sword like a spear, then threw it at him.

"Ah!" Rhinix yelped, leaning back.

The sword missed him and got wedged into the side of a car in a pile of them. Jack then ran forward, then leaned back and skidded towards the car with his arms out, dodging a slash from Devastation as he did.

"Yee-haw!" he yelled.

He jumped past Rhinix and landed near the cars, before he turned around to them both, as they stumbled slightly. Devastation fired his blaster at him, but missed as he back flipped and landed on the side of the pile of cars, as the blast hit the bottom of them.

"Yeah!" he said.

He pulled his sword out, holding it backwards, and began diving away.

"Attack!" Devastation and Rhinix yelled.

They both stopped as Jack landed on the ground, then he slashed Devastation's shoulder with his sword, then blocked his blaster with it. He then pulled away and spun around, slashing them both with his sword, knocking them down onto their backs, before he turned around.

"You're mine!" Morgana sneered.

She held up her right blade as it glowed, then slashed it, sending a blast at Jack, but missed as he dodged, then jumped up and twirled around, dodging more blasts from her.

"All right!" he said.

"Hey!" Morgana complained.

Sinuku, Tomars and Hardshell all came up beside her, as Jack landed on top of the cars and looked down at them.

"Get him!" Morgana growled.

She and the aliens all charged and jumped up, as Jack jumped down and past them all, as Morgana ran up the cars.

"YAH!" she yelled.

She back flipped towards the ground, landing on it the same time as Jack, as the three aliens landed on the pile of cars. They all turned to Jack, before they jumped off the cars, then Jack leaned against a car and kicked Sinuku's chest, getting his foot stuck on it.

"AH!" Sinuku moaned.

Jack turned his leg around and pinned him against the car, before he pulled his leg away, as Sinuku fell to the ground on his chest.

"AH!" he moaned.

Tomars dived towards Jack.

"Whoa!" Jack yelped.

He flipped up slightly while holding the roof of the car, then he kicked Tomars' chest, sending his lance flying out of his hands, before he hit the ground near Morgana and Hardshell.

Hardshell charged at Jack, then tried to slash him with his blade, but missed as Jack ducked, before he slashed Hardshell up across the chest.

"AH!" he moaned, stumbling back.

He clutched his chest, before Jack spun around and tackled him, sending him flying away.

"AHH!" he yelled, twirling around.

He hit the ground on his side near Tomars, as Morgana looked at them both.

"Hyah!" she yelled, slashing her blades in an X shape, sending blasts at Jack.

"Whoa!" he yelped.

He back flipped over the car before the blasts could hit him, then he kicked the roof of the car, sending it towards her.

"Hey!" Morgana complained.

She turned and kicked her foot against the pile behind her, then jumped over the car before it could hit her, then she landed on the ground.

"Battlizer, Sonic mode!" Jack shouted, holding his hands like claws, before he clutched his fists - his left near his hip, his right up - then he held his right hand out.

(Battlizer sequence)

RIC barked as he and Jack ran alongside each other, before they both jumped up.

"Hyah!" Jack yelled.

RIC began to split apart, his front legs and head all moving away, as his lower body and back legs rotated out, showing he had sirens on his chest now.

"All right!" Jack whooped.

RIC's body wrapped around his chest, then his lower body and back legs rotated up, forming a jetpack, then RIC's front legs attached to his own.

"Yeah!" he said.

RIC's head shot down towards him, showing a long sword, which he caught

"Battlizer, mode 2, complete!" he shouted, waving it around as he spun around, before he held it up, as the 'Police' badge popped up behind him.

(Sequence ends)

He flew down towards Morgana.

"Hyah!" he yelled.

"What?!" Morgana exclaimed, looking up at him.

Jack flew towards her and tried to slash her, but missed as she dived to her left.

"Ah!" she moaned, rolling along the ground.

She got up and turned, as Jack flew up past a pile of cars.

"Yah!" he yelled, before he turned around.

"You don't scare me!" Morgana sneered, powering up her right blade.

She slashed it and sent a blast at Jack.

"Whoa!" he gasped.

He flew to his right to avoid the blast, then back flipped through the air to avoid another, then ducked down to dodge a third. He then flew past a pile of cars to dodge some more, before the blasts hit them.

"Ah!" Morgana growled.

Jack looked down at her, then fired blasters from his armor's sirens.

"Fire!" he shouted.

The blasts hit the ground behind Morgana, creating explosions that knocked her up.

"WHA! AHH!" she moaned.

She hit a bunch of tires on her back.

Cruger turned as the other Rangers gathered around him, Bridge clutching his shoulder, Syd her chest, Z and Val one of their arms. (Val was between Z and Syd)

"Everyone okay?" he asked.

They all turned as the seven aliens gathered together, as Jack looked down at them all. (Hardshell was on Tomars' left)

"Time to get rid of you freaks." Jack said.

His visor lit up with fire.

"Battlizer, full power!" he shouted, holding his sword up.

He slashed it down diagonally three times, then he held it to his right.

"Fire!" he shouted.

He jumped up as RIC barked, then held his sword up in front of him, before he spun around and slashed it from right to left, sending a blade blast at the aliens, which hit them all repeatedly.

"AHHH!" they moaned. "AH! UGH!"

Jack landed on the ground crouched down as lighting came out of them all.

"AHH!" they moaned.

Jack held his sword diagonally, so RIC's head was near the ground, as the aliens all fell onto their backs.

"Hyah!" Jack yelled, holding his sword up.

Two puffs of smoke came up behind him, followed by an explosion, then once it cleared, a Containment Card holding Slate hit the ground.

"This can't be happening?!" he exclaimed.

The other Rangers - expect Cruger - all punched their fists down.

"Go, Jack!" Z whooped.

"Way to go!" Syd said, as Sky pointed at him.

"Yes!" Val whooped.

"All right!" Bridge said, jumping and punching his fist up.

"Excellent work, Jack." Cruger said, holding his thumb up, as Sky folded his arms.

"Yeah." Z said.

Morgana stumbled towards them all while clutching her right arm, without her helmet.

"Want some more? Jack asked.

"Ah!" Morgana frowned, before she turned around and walked off.

"Didn't think so." Jack said, lowering his sword.


The next day, Sky was back on Gamma Orion, walking towards Mirloc's cell, as he had to fulfil his promise, wearing the sunglasses again, and the duct tape over his badges.

"I'm here, Mirloc, just like I said I'd be." he said, as he began walking around the cell.

"Your integrity is to be commended." Mirloc said.

"No small talk. I don't wanna be here any longer than I have to be." Sky said. "Now what is it you want for your collection?"

"I collect memoires, sad memoires." Mirloc said.

"What?" Sky said, shocked.

He turned and paced in front of the cell.

"In exchange for the information I gave you, you must tell me your worst memory." Mirloc explained.

"No!" Sky argued, waving his hand. "Forget it!"

He turned so his back was to him.

"We had a deal, Ranger." Mirloc reminded him.

Sky sighed as he turned to him slightly, then turned back, seeing he had no choice.

"My Dad was a Power Ranger too." he began.

(Flashback)

Years ago, a young Sky ran towards a baseball in the field in the park, which bounced along it.

"He was the Red Ranger."

Sky picked up the ball, then he turned around as his parents came towards him, his Dad wearing an SPD uniform like his former friend Dru's, only with red outlines on.

"He was a great father, but he made a vow to protect the innocent."

Mr. Tate ruffled Sky's hair as he walked past him, before Sky turned around to him.

"When people were in danger..."

Mr. Tate turned around as he ran along a path, waving to Sky and his wife.

"...he was always ready to fight."

Later, Mr. Tate - now morphed - ran towards a scene of chaos, as people screamed and ran past him and rubble that lay on the ground.

"One day, he got the call. They say he saved dozens of people..."

He stopped and turned around with his arms out.

"NO!" a man cried.

Mr. Tate helped a woman and a man along, as sparks came up from a building behind them.

"...but he fought until the bitter end."

Later, Sky and his mother both sat on a bench outside a door, with the letters 'SPD' above it, as a man came out of it, carrying Mr. Tate's helmet.

"It was his last battle."

Sky and his Mom approached the man, who handed Sky the helmet - the visor removed.

"I never saw him again."

(Flashback ends)

Sky kept his head down and sniffed, as the memory still hurt him.

"What a horrible memory. I can only imagine how hard that was for you." Mirloc said.

"I'll never forget it." Sky said sadly.

"Of course not. Thank you, Ranger." Mirloc said, getting up. "That's the most amusing story I've heard in years."

"What?" Sky said, turning to him, his mouth wobbling.

"Oh, yes. I have to admit, I've heard some sorry tales, but yours is truly one of the saddest." Mirloc said. "It will be the most treasured in my collection."

"You... You're a monster!" Sky growled, approaching the bars.

"You think?" Mirloc said.

He laughed evilly as a tear came down Sky's right eye, before his eyes lit up, then he teleported into it, just before it hit the floor. Sky took off the sunglasses and gasped as he kept crying, seeing he'd unwillingly helped Mirloc escape.
