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!

Outside of the base, Cruger and Kat walked over to a bench. "I don't understand." said Cruger. "How could something so enormous escape without a trace?"
"Goradon can burrow deeper than our scanners can detect. It's probably miles below the surface." said Kat.
"I hate to think about what it could do under Gruumm's command. We've got to find it before he does." said Cruger.
"I'll need Leah's help on this. She might have an algorithm that might be able track him." said Kat.
In another part of the city, Sophie was being dragged by Valko. "Let me go, you freak! I've got friends in high places!" said Sophie.
"You work for me now, super computer. Prepare to control Goradon!" said Valko.
"This supercomputer has a name!" she said and got out of his grasp. She then got into a fighting stance. "It's Sophie, and I'll never work for evil." she added. Her eyes changed and her systems engaged fight mode. Both Valko and Sophie fought until he was on the ground and she had disengaged from fight mode before running off.
Back at the base, the rangers were monitoring D-squad. "I was just thinking, did we do the right thing by expelling Sophie?" asked Bridge. "I mean, she seemed pretty devoted."
"Devoted, sure. But devoted to what?" asked Jack.
"She didn't tell us the truth, Bridge. Neither did Leah." said Sky. "So how could we ever trust her?"
"Yeah, I guess you're right." said Bridge.
"Rangers." said Cruger as he walks over to them. "At ease. Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the last count, we had five new recruits. I only see four."
"Sir, we found the mole that accessed the S.P.D computer. It was one of the new recruits…Sophie. She was a cyborg." said Jack.
"Cyborg?" questioned Cruger.
"Sir, pursuant to section 4B/W in the S.P.D Handbook, which states that 'any person found to be a danger to S.P.D. or its infrastructure at all can and should be banished from the premises.' So we banished her, sir. I mean, banish it." Sky said.
"I didn't put in my vote for her banishment!" said Leah's voice that came from behind them. "I actually liked having Sophie around."
"What the…!" said Bridge.
"Opps…" said Leah as she stood up from behind the wall.
"Leah, you are in so much trouble!" said Z.
"Not if you can't find me, Z." said Leah and runs away. Cruger then turns to the other rangers. "Just because she is a cyborg does not make her our enemy. As for Leah, she was sworn to secrecy by me." said Cruger. "Find her, and return her to S.P.D immediately!"
"Sir!" said Jack as he and the other rangers saluted.
"They still have much to learn as well as Leah." Cruger said aloud to himself.
In Kat's lab, Leah just ran inside as Kat was sitting at her desk. "I thought I heard you. Is everything ok?" said Kat.
"It will be, if I can hide in here for say…a couple hours? Z's angry with me right now." said the young purple ranger.
"Sure." said Kat, handing her a tool for her to use.
"Thank you! You're the best mom in the world." said Leah.
"I should hear that more often." said Kat, motioning her over to her desk.
At Piggy's café, Piggy was serving one of his customers. "Would you like some uh…squished moon bug sauce?" he asked. The customer got up and left, knowing what was behind him. "Hey, what the…oh, let me guess. Humans and a Felisan wearing S.P.D. uniforms." said Piggy before turning around to face them.
"Leah decided not to join us today, so you're in luck." said Jack.
"Piggy, we need your help. Have you seen this cyborg?" asked Z, holding up a picture of Sophie.
"Of course. You need my help. But why should I help you?" asked Piggy. "Every time you come around; you scare away my customers."
"Why are they afraid of us?" asked Sky. "They're the monsters."
"Humans…you're so…ethnocentric." said Piggy. "Don't you realize that to them, you're the monsters?"
He then takes the missing poster out of Z's hands. "Take her, for instance. She looks human, yet you refer to her as a cyborg. Is she nothing more to you than circuits and wires?" asked Piggy.
"She is a lot more than that. Leah had every right to keep Sophie's secret from us. And that's why we have to find her. Can you help us or not?" said Bridge.
"I haven't seen her." said Piggy after sticking the poster to his café. Somewhere in the city, Sophie continued to run away from Valko. "You can't escape!" he yelled after her. Sophie then sees a stroller and to prevent a collision, she jumps over it. Valko shoots her as she dodges the lasers and runs to hide under a table at Piggy's café.
Piggy sees her hide under a table when Valko shows up. "Have you seen a young girl run past?" asked Valko.
"No, can't say that I have." replied Piggy. "What's she look like?"
"She looks like that, and I know she came this way." said Valko, pointing to Sophie's missing poster. "So tell me where she is, or I'll vaporize you."
"Oh, that young girl." said Piggy, then gives her up. "Yes, well, she's hiding under the table."
Valko walks over to the table and flips it to find Sophie. He presses a button in order to control her systems. "Youre coming with me to the Wary Woods, whether you like it or not!" he said, taking her with him.
"Sometimes, I just hate myself." Piggy said to himself. "But then I quickly get over it."
In the Wary Woods, Valko walks up to Goradon. "Goradon, while you eat that giant robot, know that I have the computer, and soon you will be 100 times your size." said Valko.
Back in the city, the rangers were still passing out flyers. "No luck." said Z as she walks up behind Jack.
"I wish that Leah was out here helping us." said Jack.
"Someone said my name?" asked Leah, appearing behind Sky.
"Yeah. Why didn't you tell us that you knew that Sophie was a cyborg?" asked Sky.
"I promised that I wouldn't say anything about her." said Leah and looked over at Z. "Look, I get it. I know that I'm the youngest and that I shouldn't be keeping secrets like this. I wanted to tell you; I really did. I just couldn't say anything because of the promise I made to Cruger. You mad?"
"I'm not mad anymore now that I get the idea of why you did it." Z said.
"You're like the sister I never had, Z. Our relationship means everything to me." Leah said.
"I'm sorry." said Z.
"You know, Piggy was right. If Sophie wasn't a cyborg, we wouldn't have thrown her out onto the street without asking some questions first." said Bridge.
"I can't believe that I'm prejudiced." said Syd.
In a secret location, deep in the Wary Woods, Sophie was hooked up to a lot of wires, making her dangle from the ground. Valko had just finished plugging in the last wire into his computer and turns to Sophie. "This won't hurt you. You're a robot." mocked Valko as he laughs evilly. He then turns on his computer and Sophie lurches back a few times before she opens her eyes.
"It's working!" exclaimed Valko. He then walks up to Sophie. "Once you're calibrated and your nano technology is synched, I will be control the most powerful creature on the planet! I will destroy S.P.D. and fulfill my destiny!"
Back at the base, Cruger growls in frustration. "I'm tired of fighting with this thing." said Cruger.
"We're dealing with complex logarithms, Doggie. You have to be patient. The computer has to calculate the precise sequence to create phase 2. It takes time." explained Kat. After saying that, there was an explosion outside, causing the alarms to go off.
"The question is, how much time do we have?" asked Cruger.
Back in the city, the rangers were still looking for Sophie. "There are cyborgs all over town. Why would anyone want to capture Sophie?" asked Sky.
"Wait a minute! What did the monster say he was after?" said Bridge then did a handstand against the wall to remember what Valko had said. Once he remembered, he then exclaimed, "Sophie!"
Soon as he was back on his feet, Bridge then said, "S-O-P-H-I-E. Series One Processor…."
"Hyper." said Jack.
"Intelligent." said Z.
"Decryptor." said Syd.
"We practically handed her to him." said Bridge.
"I say we split up, form a grid, and start checking door to door." said Sky.
"I'm in." said Leah.
"With that kind of plan, I'm glad I'm not the one being held captive." said Piggy.
"How did you know she was captive?" asked Z.
"No, no, no, a better question for Piggy is, how much is it going to cost us?" asked Jack.
"For one year, the six of you stay away from my wagon!" said Piggy.
"One day." said Jack, negotiating with Piggy.
"Six months." said Piggy.
"One hour."
"One month."
"One minute."
"One day."
"Deal." said Jack and Piggy.
"Valko snatched the girl and took her to the wary woods." said Piggy.
"Come on guys, let's go! Thanks Piggy!" said Jack as they left.
"You're the best!" Leah shouted over her shoulder.
"Wait a minute! What day?" he said after them.
In the Wary Woods, Sophie was trying to get herself free when Valko saw something on the screen. "What?! S.P.D.! That's impossible!" he said in shock and leaves.
The rangers were in the woods when laser blasts were shot at them. "Hello, rangers." said Valko then throws a ball of Krybots into the air. "Have a ball."
"Great, what does he want next, other than taking over the planet? A girlfriend to marry?" asked Leah.
"He's too ugly to have a girlfriend." said Jack.
"You got a good point. He's way too ugly." said Leah.
"Time to punch in." said Sky.
"Attack!" ordered Valko and the fight begins. A first set of Krybots attack Jack, only to be crushed by a tree as he phases through it. The second set attacked went for Z as she replicated herself to fight them. Three Krybots went for Leah at three separate angles, only to run into each other and fall when she teleported.
Bridge waved his hand in the air to see which Krybot would attack him first. Syd grabs a stone from her belt and makes a fist. "Fist of Iron." she shouted and attacks the Krybots in front of her. Sky put up his force field when a few Krybots ran towards him, hitting the field.
"S.P.D. EMERGENCY!" they shouted, going through the morphing grid.
"Nice suits!" said Valko as the rangers charged at him, causing him to crash into a tree.
Bridge got out his morpher, then said to Valko, "You stand accused of serious crimes! Prepared to be judged."
"What's happening? You won't find her! It's too late!" said Valko. His scanner went back and forth between innocent and guilty until it finally landed on guilty.
"R.I.C.!" said Bridge, throwing the bone in the air for him to catch. Soon as he caught it and was aimed at Valko, Valko then said to them, "You're not the only one with fun gadgets. I didn't get this far with just my looks!"
He then disappeared in front of them, leaving them confused. "Where'd he go?" asked Sky.
"What the…" said Z.
"Okay, he's gone!" said Bridge. In Valko's hideout, Sophie was still hooked up to the wires and heard him come in. "No more time for calibration." he said and slams a button that was in the middle of the console. "Engage!"
As he did that, Sophie started to convulse as her system was being taken over. "I command Goradon…rise and obey your new master! Rise!" shouted Valko. Back in the now clouded city, Goradon rose from the ground and people started panicking.
At the base, the command center was shaking. "Goradon is attacking!" said Cruger as Kat started pressing buttons.
"Phase two won't go online yet. We can't stop it." said Kat. "Doggie…"
"Call the rangers! Send the Zords!" he ordered. The rangers' morphers beeped and Jack pulls his out. "It's Kat." he said.
"Rangers, Goradon has erupted in the city. I'm sending the Zords." said Kat, sending the zords.
"Delta Squad Megazord!" the rangers shouted once they were inside.
"We gotta stop it!" said Jack as they fired at Goradon. Back at the Wary Woods, Valko laughed evilly as he was controlling Goradon. "It's gonna take a lot more than that!" he said to himself. The megazord took a jump to the side as it shoots its weapon at Goradon.
"Wow, not even a dent!" said Bridge.
"Take that!" said Valko.
"I can beat this." Sophie thought to herself as she regained control of her body. She looks over at Valko as she hears him cheering Goradon on. "Must…fight…computer!" she said then pulled out the cords that connected her to the computer. Valko's computer screen went dark.
"Wait! What's happening?" he asked as sparks came out. Sophie runs out and Valko turns around to see that she's gone. "What?! No!" he shouted and goes after her.
Goradon continued to destroy the city. "Now what do we do?" asked Syd.
"I'm too scared to even think what could happen next." said Leah.
"Power strike now!" said Jack, using the megazord's sword on Goradon but it didn't work and was knocked out of the megazord's hand.
"Our sword!" cried Bridge. Sophie was running underneath a pass in the city until Valko came out in front of her, knocking Sophie to the ground. "For a cyborg, you've got quite a spirit." said Valko. "It's a shame that I must deactivate you. Come now, it won't hurt you."
Valko didn't know what was coming next. Sophie accessed her vocal processing system and then screamed. Back at the base, Cruger heard Sophie's scream. "Help me, Commander Cruger! Help!" she said in the scream.
"Brilliant, Sophie. She knows I can hear hyper-frequencies." Cruger said to himself. Kat looks up at him and asks, "Did you say something?"
"Keep at it, Miss Manx." said Cruger as he walks past her.
"Where are you going?" she then asked.
"To a fight." he answered and was out of the command center.
Valko forces Sophie up from the ground. "Prepare to be bulk erased." said Valko, but was then held back by Cruger.
"No! It's not nice to pick on people." Cruger said to him. He then tosses him to the side, before knocking him to the ground. "Stand back." Cruger said to Sophie.
"She's not a person. She's just a cyborg!" said Valko.
"And you're just a criminal." Cruger pointed out and takes out his morpher. "S.P.D. EMERGENCY! Defender of the Galaxy! Shadow Ranger!"
"Shadow Saber, Power up!" said Cruger as he took out his sword and powered it up. "Bring it on!"
"I will!" shouted Valko as he shoots several lasers at him.
"Get down!" ordered Cruger, deflecting the lasers from Sophie.
"What the…" Valko said, shocked at the sight.
"I'm bringing you to justice." said Cruger.
"Don't come any closer!" said Valko as he backs away. Before he could do anything, Commander Cruger holds his sword up in the air. "Shadow Saber, Containment strike!"
"What?" Valko angrily asked as Cruger came towards him and strikes him. Valko goes down and was finally in a containment card. "Let me outta here! I want out!" Valko said, banging on the screen of the containment card.
Sophie looks up to see that Valko was gone. "Come on, Sophie. This isn't over yet. Okay?" said Cruger. Sophie nodded, then as they both started to head back to the base, the ground shook.
The megazord was taken into the by Goradon. "Kat! Do something!" said Jack as Goradon open its mouth.
"Hang on, guys. I'll hit it with everything we've got." said Kat.
"Hurry! I don't wanna be robot food today of all days!" said Leah. Kat activated the command crawler just as Cruger and Sophie entered the command center. "Hang on everybody." said Kat.
"Battle stations!" said Cruger as the base started moving.
"Thanks Kat." said Jack. High beams were aimed and fired at Goradon. "Rangers, return to base, immediately!" said Cruger.
"You don't have to tell me twice." said Leah.
"You're kidding me."
"No way."
Once inside and in the command center, they saw Sophie. "Sophie, you're okay." said Bridge.
"No time for teary reunions." said Cruger. "We cannot defeat Goradon with our weaponry. And phase two isn't sequenced yet."
"I can do it." said Sophie, pulling up her right sleeve to show a USB port. "If you plug me directly into the S.P.D mainframe, I can sequence the logarithm for phase two."
"You could also destroy S.P.D. from the inside out…if you wanted to." said Kat.
"She could also fry her circuits if she gets too close to the anti-virus wall." said Bridge. "I trust her. Guys?"
"Can we at least try? Sophie has my full confidence." said Leah. The other rangers looked at each other. "Let her do it." Syd said.
"Definitely." said Z.
"I'm all for it." Jack said. They all turned to Sky who still hadn't said anything yet.
"Sky, it must be a unanimous decision." said Cruger. Sky looked at the other before looking over at Sophie. "Apparently, I'm a monster, too." said Sky. "So no more judgements. You're all right in my book."
Sophie smiled as their commander said, "Okay, then get back to your Zord, and prepare to upload."
"Yes, sir." said the rangers and went back to their Zords. Sophie grabbed the USB cord and plugged herself in. "Okay, I'm ready." she said. "Initiating sequencing." Kat looked over at her, worried of what could happen. Then suddenly the program was online. "D.B.D.S phase two, online. D.B.D.S phase two, online." said the computer.
Kat gasped then smiled as she heard the computers around her beeped. "We're in business." said Kat. "Attention, all cadets to the safety zone immediately. Repeat, all cadets to the safety zone immediately. This is not a drill."
"Good job!" said Cruger as Sophie smiled. All of the cadets went to the safety zone and stood against the windows. Cruger was at his desk. "Megazord Mode!" he said and his desk went behind a panel. On the outside, the base was transforming and the rangers couldn't believe their eyes.
"Whoa!" they all said.
"Look at that!" said Syd.
"Sweet!" said Z.
"Cool!" said Bridge.
"Lockdown." said Kat's voice over the intercom as hallways were being sealed off. The base continued to transform until it was standing. Cruger's chair turned until it was surrounded by six podiums. "Cockpit, activated!" said Cruger. Outside, the top of the base revealed a head. It turned to the rangers. The megazord went over to the base zord.
"Activating entry chutes." said Cruger.
"We're on our way." said Jack as he grabbed his morpher and exited his zord. All six rangers were running through the chutes. "Come on, guys!" Jack said then they finally entered the cockpit. "Wow!"
"This is unbelievable!" said Syd.
"Cool!" said Leah.
"Incredible." said Sky.
"What's next, commander?" asked Jack.
"Take your positions." said Cruger. They went to their respective places and locked in their morphers. "Delta Command Megazord! Activate! Ready!" said the rangers.
"Rangers, let's do this." said Cruger. The delta command megazord took its steps towards Goradon. "Steady everyone." said Jack as they fired the high beams.
"Finger lasers!" said Z.
"On it." said Leah and Syd.
"Full power!" shouted the commander and they fired everything they got at Goradon until it was destroyed.
"You're down!" said both the rangers and Cruger, cheering their victory.
"Thanks to Sophie." said Bridge. In the rangers' common room, Sky was at the food dispenser, trying to get a drink. "Come on. These robots never work." he said, then Sophie walks up behind him.
"Need some help with that?" asked Sophie as she pressed a few buttons and out came a drink.
"Yeah…thanks." said Sky. "I didn't mean…"
"I know." said Sophie, smiling at him.
"Hey!" said Bridge. "I heard that S.P.D.'s number one I.T. girl is being stationed at the Theta Quadrant to overhaul their systems."
"Nice job." said Syd.
"I can finally use my programs to help everyone in the galaxy." said Sophie.
"Right on." said Z.
"Cool. I like it." said Leah.
On his ship, Gruumm walks into Mora's room. "I told you, if you failed me, you would not be happy." he said, making her jump up.
"Please, don't do it. Don't turn me back." she said in a frightened voice.
"I think it's time for the grownups had a talk." said Gruumm, pointing his staff at her.
"No!" Mora said but it was too late. The end of Gruumm's staff turned red and a cocoon of some sort wrapped around the little girl, turning her into a grown woman. The woman had long hair and a purple marking under her left eye.
"How could you?!" she cried.
"They grow up so fast!" said Gruumm, laughing evilly at what he did. The woman, Morgana, stared at him with a sad look on her face.
