To all my readers, if you don't like the way I write SPD, then you don't have to read it and this goes for all of my Power Ranger fanfics, both current and future ones. I'm not gonna force you to read them.
A word of warning, to those of you who like to announce the next chapter (i.e. episode) title of the fanfic, don't ever do that. It's extremely annoying to me and I don't like it. If you continue to do it again for all of my Power Rangers fanfics, you will be blocked until I have posted more than enough Power Rangers stories in order for me to trust you again. You know who you are because it's not a joke and I'm not playing around. As always, no negativity and Happy Reading!
I DO NOT OWN CHARACTERS OF POWER RANGERS SPD! I ONLY OWN THE OC!
Shoutouts:
"Jack, do something!" said the girls.
"I'm trying." said Jack.
From behind, a blast was shoot at the robot and in comes Bridge on his bike. "Oh, yeah!" he shouted. Not long after that, Syd and Sky showed up. "Are you ok?" asked Syd.
"Back off." said Sky. "What's up? He doesn't look so tough."
"You don't think so? Check it out!" said Jack.
"Time for a shock!" said the robot, sending lightening out of his sword and towards the rangers. Once the rangers were on the ground, the robot walks towards them, then said "Don't bother getting up."
"Let's go, Sam! We have things to do." said Bugglesworth, grabbing his hand and taking him away.
"Sam!" Z cried out.
"Come back!" Jack shouted but the robot got in their way. Both of them were fighting their way to get to Sam. "Sam!" shouted Z, reaching out to him. Sam turns back around and raises his hand, making Z, Jack and the robot disappear. Then he and Bugglesworth disappear too.
"Where'd they go?" asked Sky as he, Leah, Bridge and Syd got up.
"Somewhere I'm hoping that we don't have to find their lifeless bodies." said Leah in a monotone, imagining what might've happened to them.
"This is not good at all." said Syd.
Somewhere on a cliff, Jack and Z appeared. Z was about to go over the cliff. "Whoa, Jack!" she said and he grabs her hand.
"Hold on, Z!" he said, trying to keep her from going over. Just then, the orange robot appeared and attacks them. Jack pulls Z to safety and they jump out of the way. The robot then attacks Z first before attacking Jack. "Oh, that's it! Come on!" said Z as she gets up from the ground and grabs her weapon.
"This guy won't give up!" said Jack.
"We need a new plan!" said Z, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I hear that!" said Jack and pulls out his morpher. "S.P.D. Patrol Cycle!" His cycle then comes out of nowhere and both rangers jump onto the cycle. "Hold tight!" said Jack as he and Z swerve through the robot's blasts.
"That was just crazy." said Jack.
"We've gotta find Sam!" said Z. In Space on Gruumm's ship, Sam was in Mora's room, watching her play with the dolls. "Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored." said Mora, sitting on the table. Sam was looking around her room as she punches one of the dolls. "I'm tired of playing with these dolls. They're not fun anymore." she tells him.
"What do you want to play with now?" he asked.
"Something more exciting…like an S.P.D. doll." she said skipping over to her toy box.
"S.P.D. doll?" he asked in confusion.
"You know those S.P.D. girls? I bet you could lure them out and then Bugglesworth could make them into a doll for us to play with." said Mora as she spins around with Cindy Sunshine.
"I don't know." said Sam.
"Oh pretty please? I'll be your best friend." begged Mora
Back at S.P.D., Bridge was playing with the two dolls in the command center. "Help! I'm slipping! I don't know how much longer I can hold on, Richard. Please get me!" said Bridge in a feminine voice and grabs the male doll. "I'm coming!" he said, deepening his voice.
"Hey Bridge." said Jack as they walked in.
"I can't believe these were people once." said Bridge as he looks down at the two dolls.
"Unless we figure out something soon, we might be all living in a dollhouse." said Sky, making Syd gasp.
"I love dollhouses!" she exclaimed, smiling. When everyone looked at her, she deflated some. "Sorry." she said.
"This is why I prefer being a tomboy." said Leah.
"And we're also dealing with an Orange-head robot. Toughest one we faced. We almost didn't make it off that cliff." said Jack, glancing towards Z.
"I'm glad you guys didn't fall off. Otherwise I would have kept something in honor of you and sold the rest." said Leah.
"I'm telling you. Sam's the key." said Z, pushing herself forward.
"I dunno Z. He looked pretty cozy with that bug creep." said Sky.
"I hate bugs. Can't wait to squash it with the Megazord." said Leah and the older rangers looked at her. "What? If I'm lying, I'm dying."
"Hate to say it, but Sky's right." said Syd.
"Bridge, you're good at this sort of thing. What do you think?" asked Jack.
"I think…that he's thinking what we're thinking. I mean, what we should have been thinking. I mean what we were thinking." rambled Bridge.
"Never mind." said Jack.
"What's the point of having powers if you can't help anyone?" Z exploded angry, getting up to her feet.
"Why are you taking it so personal, Z?" asked Sky as she stormed past him. She stops and brings Leah closer to her. "Because…Sam reminds me of me, when I was a kid." she admitted.
"Yeah…it was tough growing up different." Bridge agreed, not looking up. Leah started to space out again, thinking about her past as Z began her story.
"To this day, I can't shake this vivid memory of when I was 12…" said Z.
[Flashback]
12-year-old Z is sitting in a classroom and the kids at the desks around her are laughing.
"Freak." said the girl next to her.
"Elizabeth, would you please step up to the blackboard?" asked the teacher.
"It was hard enough being from the streets…but I was so shy and the kids knew I was different." said Z's voice.
"Go home." said another girl.
"They were cruel, called me sorts of names like 'freak' and 'monster'."
"Monster! Monster! Monster!" the kids chanted at her.
"I was just a little girl. I couldn't take it anymore, so I did the only thing I knew how to do…I replicated and I got out of there. I ran out of the school. I ran and I ran until I couldn't run anymore, then I found myself alone, with this scary looking creature coming towards me."
A monster attacked Z on the playground and a laser was shot. The explosion scared the monster and runs away. A cloak figure was standing by a tree with a weapon in its hand. Z runs as her necklace falls to the ground. The figure picks it up.
"Then I heard an explosion. I opened my eyes and the creature was running away and there was someone standing there in the shadows with a laser. I broke my Z necklace."
[Flashback ends]
"I was too afraid to go back and get it." she said, looking away from the others.
"That is like the scariest story I ever heard." said Syd.
"Yeah." said Z, giving her a weak laugh. "Well, if it weren't for the man in the shadows, I don't know what would have happened to me."
"Did you ever find out who he was?" asked Jack.
"No…I never did." said Z.
"For me, it was a woman in the nurse's office. She would always fix me up whenever I had a bruise or a cut." said Leah.
"The man in the shadows was a dog. It was me." said Cruger.
"No…way…" Bridge gaped at the commander as he held out the necklace.
"My necklace…what?" Z laughed in disbelief as she took it back. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"In light of our current situation, I feel it's time you all learned the truth about your civilian powers and reveal Leah's heritage." said Cruger. "Having these gifts is not the only thing you all have in common. The truth is…your parents served at S.P.D before you were born."
"No way…" Bridge said again when they finally learned to speak.
"My parents weren't S.P.D., they were missionaries." said Jack.
"My mom's a teacher, not an officer." said Syd.
"And I was abandoned at a hospital by my parents." said Leah.
"We felt for your own protection that this information should remain secret until you were old enough to fully understand." explained Cruger. He then turns to the rangers. "Your parents were pioneers. They helped build the technology built into your morphers, led by Doctor Manx."
"You mean, Kat's parents worked here?" asked Bridge as he and Sky got up onto their feet. Cruger laughs and shakes his head. "My friends, Doctor Manx is not as young as she looks and neither is Leah." said Cruger in amusement.
"What do you mean, I'm not as young as I look?" said Leah, looking alarmed.
"That's because Kat is your mother, Leah. You are the first one in your family to have a civilian power." said Cruger.
"Oh…now that makes sense." said Leah, shocked.
"You're kidding. She looks about 25, 30 tops and Leah looks only 12, almost 13." said Jack.
"147 of your years. But I will tell her you said that. Leah may look like she's 12, but she's only 28 of your years." chuckled Cruger.
"Yeye anaenda kupata earful kutoka kwangu." muttered Leah, crossing her arms.
"Back to my story. All of your parents were dedicated to the same cause as you. There were certain unplanned events that happened in the early testing phases. Kat, being an alien and the exception of Leah, was unaffected. But not so fortunate were your parents. The prolonged exposure to the cellular enhancers altered their human genes." he explained.
"I always knew my mom was weird." smirked Syd.
"It doesn't really explain mine." said Leah. "And I honestly don't feel like I'm 28."
"And she will tell you if you ask her." said Cruger and Leah shrugs her shoulders.
"Does this have something to do with Sam?" asked Z.
"He's the last one." said Cruger.
"No…way…" said Bridge and Leah hits him on the back of the head.
"I gotta help him." said Z.
"He's not the only one you have to help." said a voice behind them. They glanced around to see Kat walking in. "In a few hours, all those people will be dolls forever." said Kat.
"Okay, let's split up." said Jack as they went off in different directions. Z and Leah were underneath a bridge calling out for Sam when he appeared from behind a car and walked out behind them. "There you are!" said Z as Leah pulled on her sleeve.
"What happened to your uniforms?" asked Sam.
"You think I look bad in what I'm wearing?" asked Leah, as Sam shakes his head.
"We just wanted to show you that were real people, just like you. Sam, I've been so worried about you." said Z.
"Trust me, she's been really worried." said Leah.
"Why? You don't even know me." said Sam.
"No, but I'd like to. There's things I can show you." said Z.
"So do I." chirped Leah.
"What do you mean?" asked Sam.
"Don't listen to her, I'm your best friend, Sam." said Mora as she was talking through Cindy Sunshine.
"You're back?" asked Z.
"It's hard to keep a good doll down." said Mora.
"Ok…that's it! I've had it with that doll." said Leah, pointing at the thing.
"You saw what they did to me. Help me, Sam!" said Mora. Sam raises his hand, about to use his power on Z and Leah when they both turned around to see Bugglesworth behind them. "Hello again. Hee Hee!" he said.
"If you really believe that the Troobians are your friends, then do what you have to. We won't stop you." said Z as Leah nodded. Sam thinks back to when he first met them and how nice they were to him.
[Flashback]
"Mind if I put some water on your knee?" asked Z as they were behind a building.
"I'm Z." she said, introducing herself. "And you're…"
"Sam." he said.
"I'm Leah." said Leah.
"You know who's telling you the truth, Sam." said Z as she and Leah were standing with Jack.
[Flashback ends]
"You really want to be my friend?" asked Sam.
"We already are." said Z and Sam runs up to hug them. Disgusted by this, Mora then said, "I'm gonna puke. Bugglesworth!"
"On it!"
"Look out!" shouted Z as she pushed Leah and Sam out of the way.
"Z!" shouted Leah.
"Leah, get out of here! Now!" she shouted and starts to fight Bugglesworth by herself. A cloud of purple smoke quickly dissipated had shown that Leah was gone. "You can't run!" taunted Bugglesworth as Z went down to the ground. Sam looked out from behind a pile of junk when he comes out and says to Bugglesworth, "Stop, or I'll..."
Bugglesworth then sends a blasts towards Sam, who then ducks behind a car. "Sam!" shouted Z. Bugglesworth then turns around and uses his stick, turning Z into a doll. "No!" said Sam, scared that it would be him next and starts running away.
On Gruumm's ship, Mora is sitting in a chair, spinning as she holds Z in her hand. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" she said in glee. She then goes up to Gruumm.
"Look Gruumm, my very own S.P.D doll!" said Mora. Just then, he grabs the doll out of her hands. "Hey!" said Mora.
"A trophy…befitting a king." said Gruumm, laughing.
"But that's my doll." said Mora.
"Not anymore." he said. Just as Mora was about to start whining, the Z doll disappears from his hand. "Huh? Huh?" Gruumm said in confusion. Mora starts to laugh at him, seeing that he made a fool of himself. He growls at her, making her scream and run-in fear. "I will not be made a fool of! Prepare to attack!" he said in anger.
Sam continues to run from Bugglesworth when he collides into Z and Leah, causing Leah to fall to the ground on her back. "Ow." said Leah, feeling the ground.
"Hey, not so fast." said Z as she catches him.
"But I thought you were…" said Sam.
"Dolled up?" asked Z. "Nah that was just a double. Remember you're not the only one with powers." Z pulls Leah up from the ground and she shakes her head.
"I'm sorry, I…"
"Look…it's hard being different from other kids. I didn't have any friend growing up either." said Z.
"I didn't have any friends or family until I met Z and Jack." said Leah.
"Really?" asked Sam.
"No, but as you get older, you change. It's easier." said Z.
"Easy for you to say." said Leah.
"I just want to be like everyone else." said Sam.
"I know, but we're not like everybody else. We have abilities. And with them, comes responsibility." said Z.
"You're right. From now on, I'm gonna help people." said Sam.
"Awesome, dude." said Leah, then goes up to hug Sam.
"Well, you can start by telling me how to change those dolls back." said Z.
"It's Bugglesworth." said Sam. "You catch him and they'll all change back."
"Guys, we found Sam." said Z as grabs her morpher. "We're coming in."
"That's what you think!" said a robotic voice. They looked behind them and immediately took off. At the base, Cruger was watching Sam, Leah and Z running through an alley.
"Run, Sam!" they both said.
"Rangers, I'm uploading Delgado's and Manx's location. They're in trouble." said Cruger. In a building somewhere, both girls and Sam were blocked on both sides by Krybots and the orange head robot.
"Where are your friends now, Rangers?" asked the orange head robot.
"Seize them!" said Bugglesworth and a couple Krybots came up behind them, grabbing Sam.
"Sam!" Z cried out, struggling against some Krybots.
"Let him go!" shouted Leah as she struggle as well.
"Help!" cried Sam.
"Oh, don't let them get away!" said Bugglesworth.
"Don't worry about us! Go!" Z shouted to Sam and he runs off.
"What can I do?" asked Bugglesworth. "This time there is no escape!"
"I don't wanna be turned into a doll. I have so much to live for." said Leah.
"Now, just hold still!" said Bugglesworth, as he was getting closer to Z and Leah. Then his staff suddenly disappeared from his hand. "Oh, what happened?" said Bugglesworth, freaking out.
"It's over here. That's the last doll you'll ever make." said Sam, holding the monster's staff. Bugglesworth cries out as Sam smashed the staff to the ground, destroying it. "No! How could you?" said Bugglesworth. "I'll show you!"
"Run, Sam!" shouted Z and Leah as they started fighting the Krybots.
"We fight again!" said the Orange head robot. Z and Leah looked at each other and nodded. Z replicated herself, then started fighting. "Come on, girls!" she said to her replicates. Leah teleported when two Krybots ran towards her. "Over here you dumb rust buckets!" she shouted and they turned around to see that she was waving at them before she went off to help Z.
"It's over rangers." said the orange head and then there was a blast.
"Hey Z! Leah!" shouted Jack as he and the others came running up.
"You'll pay for that!" said the orange head.
"Need a little help?" Jack asked one Z, but she didn't respond to him.
"Need help?" he asked the other Z and gotten the same response. When the original Z came towards him, he said, "Z!"
"Yes! And just in time." she said.
"I've got friends, too!" said the orange head and throws out what seems to become a blue head robot. "Ok, how many more friends does Gruumm have?" asked Leah.
"You got me." said Sky.
"Ready!"
"S.P.D! EMERGENCY!"
"SPACE PATROL DELTA!"
The blue headed robot crashes through a wall and Jack goes after it while the other rangers were handling the Krybots as well as the Orange head. "I hope you like fiery confined spaces!" said Z as she grabbed her morpher and pressed some buttons. A yellow bubble started to surround a group of Krybots that a bit of lightening started to strike them. "See ya later!" said Z as she pressed another button, destroying the group of Krybots.
"Impressive. But how do you like this?" asked the orange head as he sent some lighting from his sword towards the rangers, sending them to the ground.
"I'm getting too old for this." said Z.
"That makes two of us." said Jack.
"Better make that three of us, dude." said Leah.
"Come on, guys!" said Syd.
"Guys, let's get it together and use our heads." said Bridge.
"Good thinking, Bridge." said Sky.
"We're taking you down!" said Z.
"Give it your best shot." said the orange head.
"Ok, R.I.C., you're on!" said Z, calling for the robotic dog.
"Time for the bone!" said Jack, hurling the bone into the air, transforming R.I.C. into his cannon form.
"Canine cannon!" shouted the rangers.
"Ready!" said Z.
"Fire!" they shouted, firing at the orange head. The orange head robot fired back and each side continued to fire until the rangers defeated the orange head robot. "That did it! Whoa!" said Z as the ground shook.
"I'm back!" said Bugglesworth. "I'll teach you to break my toys!"
"It's zord time!" said Z.
"You've got to hurry. The dolls will harden for good in a couple of minutes." said Kat.
"Finally! That bug is going down!" said Leah as she got into her zord. They formed the megazord as dark clouds gathered around and begins to rain. "Don't you rain on my parade!" said Bugglesworth.
"His voice is so annoying." said Leah.
"You can say that again." said Bridge.
"Hold it right there." said Z. The megazord leapt to the side to dodge Bugglesworth's attacks, before leaping into the air. With a powerful slash, they knocked him back. "Let's see what the scanner says about you!" said Z.
"No, wait!" whimpered Bugglesworth as the light flashed red. "This can't be happening!"
"Guilty!"
"Uh oh!" said Bugglesworth. They aimed their blaster at his robot as it began to charge. "6…5…4…3…2…1, fire!" they blasted the robot and Bugglesworth shrieked as the robot was destroyed.
"Great job, rangers." said Z. He landed heavily on the ground, looking up with a gulp. "They got my robot, but they won't get me!" said Bugglesworth and tried to run off, but only to find the rangers in front of him.
He then lets out a shriek as the rangers appeared. "Think again!" said Jack, as he grabbed his morpher.
"You again?"
"You have been found guilty of the crimes of stealing building, turning people into dolls, and child endangerment!" Bugglesworth whimpered again. "Containment mode!" shouted Jack and Bugglesworth was trapped in a card.
"Let me out!" he said, banging on the screen. In Mora's room on Gruumm's ship, the dolls started disappearing from the shelves. "Huh? My dolls!" she exclaimed as she saw them disappearing.
At the academy, in Kat's lab, the two dolls that were left behind turned back into their humans forms. "Boom!" said Kat, getting her lab assistant's attention. He looked at her and she nodded her towards the two people.
Back in Mora's room, Mora starts screaming in anger.
Back in Kat's lab, Boom is happy. "Oh, they're hugging." he said as he tries to hug Kat. She stops him from hugging her, then Boom said, "We're working. No hugging, just working."
Pretending the rev was an engine as he checked out his new bike, Sam smiled with excitement. "I dunno what to say, guys. Thanks for the bike." said Sam as he looked up at the rangers.
"You're welcome, Sam." said Z, smiling at him. "You got a lot of friends here."
"Yeah, I do…but you guys are kinda of old." Sam said smirking, slapping Bridge's hand as the green ranger examined his bike.
"Old?" they repeated.
"Since when am I old?" asked Leah, raising an eyebrow.
"And weird." Sam grinned and the rangers looked insulted. "Just kidding. I'll still see you guys around the academy, right?" He looked up at them all.
"You bet." said Jack.
"You couldn't get rid of me if you tried." said Leah as she started to rub her eyes a bit.
"I'm gonna be like you!" he saluted suddenly. "I'm gonna be a power ranger!"
"Hey Sam! Come on, let's go!" said a girl in a group of new recruits that approach the rangers. "I gotta go. My peeps are calling." said Sam as he dismounted the bike and walked off with the bike.
"Wow. Cool bike, man." said the girl.
"The rangers gave it to me." said Sam.
"I'm not old." said Syd.
"Not old, just weird." said Jack with a smirk. With a laugh of his own, Sky patted Syd's shoulder as he passed, laughing as she watched them all leave with a frown. Leah then said with a smile, "If he's really gonna be a power ranger someday, then I'm making his megazord."
