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:
In the city, the world gold depository was being robbed. A drill went through the wall and Krybots were taking the gold. An alien had tied up the guard. "This gold is just what Gruumm wanted." he said to the worker. "Some guard you are. Heh heh heh heh!"
Back at the base, the alarms had sounded. "Kat, report." said Cruger.
"Sector G, sir. Looks like the Krybots are at it again." said Kat. Leah walks in with a box of tissues and a stuffed animal. Cruger looks over at Leah in sympathy. "You, young lady, look a bit paler than usual." said Cruger.
"I feel like my body's been run over multiple times by a delta runner. I actually think my headache has gotten worse since I woke up at 0500 today." said Leah. She had caught a cold during a heavy rainstorm two days before when she was out on the course and didn't have a chance to change into her pjs.
"That's what happens when you don't change out of wet clothes. Go sit in the commander's chair before you get the rangers sick." said Kat as Leah sneezed into a tissue.
"Good idea." said Leah as she goes over to the chair. Then the five teenagers came running in. "Rangers reporting, sir." said Jack.
"Rangers, Krybots have broken into the gold depository. You've got to stop them." said Cruger.
"But what about Leah? Shouldn't she be here too?" asked Sky, then they heard a sneeze coming from behind the commander.
"Unless you want me to get even sicker, I'm staying behind." said Leah, looking up from behind Cruger's desk.
"Yeesh….you look terrible." said Syd.
"Tell me about it." replied Leah, placing her head back down. "I feel dreadful right now."
"Ready! S.P.D. EMERGENCY!"
"S.P.D. Pink!"
"S.P.D. Yellow!"
"S.P.D. Green!"
"S.P.D. Blue!"
"S.P.D. Red!"
"Let's hit it!" said Jack as he and the others got into their vehicles.
"I'm glad that I don't drive yet and only got a crash course in driving a Delta runner." said Leah as she sits back in the chair.
"Just don't sneeze on the chair." said Cruger.
"Don't worry, I've brought my own trash bag for my used tissue. If I do, I'll disinfect it myself." said Leah.
"Satellite Surveillance, Kat." said Cruger.
"I'm trying sir, but I've lost transmission." said Kat, working hard to get the signal back.
"Keep trying." said Cruger. "It's the upmost important that we keep an eye on the situation."
Kat sighs before looking over at Leah, seeing that she started to nod of a bit. Out in the city, the others had caught the guy. "What is this? Let me out!" he tells them.
"Hey that was fun." said Z.
"Good job, team." said Jack.
"Oh, the guard." said Syd, remembering him. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, thank you." he tells her. "I'll return the gold to the depository."
"Good job. Thank you." said Syd, waving after him.
"Thanks again." said the guard before running inside.
"Congratulations on a job well done." said Cruger, once the older rangers returned to the base. "Unfortunately, we were unable to maintain satellite surveillance of the operation."
"I wished that you could be out there to help us, Leah but from your point of view, I understand that being sick isn't fun." said Jack, looking over at Leah who had her feet up.
"Being sick is never fun. You're just lucky, I'm not in the mood to share my germs." Leah grumbled, getting really comfortable in the commander's chair.
"Solar flaring temporarily disrupted our satellite. I'll try to fix the problem and reconstruct the video transmission." said Kat as she gave a dose of medicine to Leah before going to her lab.
"And while she does that, why doesn't someone tell me what happened?" asked Cruger.
After a few seconds of silence, the rangers were talking over each other, trying to tell him what happened. "Enough!" said Cruger with his hand raised. "Perhaps one at a time would be better."
"This should be interesting. I wonder which one will (Achoo!) put me to sleep so I don't have to listen to any arguing." said Leah, sneezing into another tissue. The others started talking over each other again, until Cruger stops them again.
"Jack, why don't you go first?" asked Cruger.
"No problem, sir." said Jack. "I'd love to tell you what happened. SO we arrived at the scene…"
[Flashback Jack's version]
"And the first thing we see are Krybots stealing the gold." said Jack's voice.
"This is easier than I thought." said the alien.
"Okay, follow me, guys." said Jack.
"Jack is so great!" said Syd in a dreamy voice.
"Who are you?" asked the alien.
"The one and only red ranger!" said Jack as he fires from his laser guns. "Nothing like a little Krybot before breakfast."
Sky was fighting a group of Krybots. "I wish I had blasters like the red rangers." said Sky.
"Okay, that's 5, 7, 8, uh, whoa, wait. Did I miss one? Okay, wait I'll just start over. 1, 2…" said Bridge.
"I'm doing what Jack did." said Z, striking the Krybots. "He knows best."
"I'm doing what Z did because she's doing what Jack did." said Syd as she used her weapon against the Krybots.
"Well done." said the muffled voice of the guard.
"I wished that Leah was here to witness this moment of Jack." said Sky.
"Can I do this one, Jack?" asked Syd.
"Go for it." he tells her.
"Oh, goody! Okay, how would Jack say it?" said Syd. "Uh…yeah. It's all over. The gold stays and you, you green eyed monster, you'll be coming with us. Can I finish it off?"
"Go for it." he said.
"Ready!" They made what looks like pulvault with their arms and Syd jumps towards the alien, striking him down.
"No!" said the green-eyed alien.
"Thank you." said the guard.
"Don't thank me. Thank the red ranger." said Syd as she unties him. "Stay back."
"Red ranger or not, it's not over." said the alien. He then activates the drill and it takes off. "Later, suckers!" he said and takes off from them.
"Come on, guys!" said Jack as they took off after him.
"Here's a little present!" he said to the rangers and throws Krybots at them. "Attack!"
Taking him to a safe distance, Syd then tells the guard, "You stay here where it's safe."
"Thank you." said the guard.
"The only hope is to blast our way out." said Jack as he took out his blasters. They fought through the Krybots and went after the criminal.
[Flashback ends]
"So then we called for the megazord, contained the green eyes robot and freed the guard." said Jack, finishing his account of what happened. "Another successful mission."
"Good job, rangers." said Cruger as he went over to Leah and felt her head. "I'm surprised that didn't put you to sleep, Leah."
"I may be sick, but that didn't even make me tired one bit." said Leah.
"Well, everyone's a critic." said Jack, sarcastically.
"Yeah and this critic is waiting until the very end when she hears every version of what happened. Then she'll tell you what she really thinks of your versions of today's events." said Leah, giving Jack an angry look.
"You're gonna kill someone with that look." said Z.
"You think so?" she asked.
"Is there anything anyone else wants to add?" asked Cruger.
"Yeah, what is with the "Jack is brave" and "Don't thank me, thank the red ranger"?" asked Syd.
""I want to be like Jack"? "Jack knows best"? Please." said Z.
""I wish I had blasters like the red ranger." Were you even there, Jack?" said Sky.
"5, 6…or was it 4, 5? I can count just fine, thanks." said Bridge.
"Guys that is exactly what happened." said Jack.
"This is going to a long day. Did I mention that I'm glad I was sick today?" said Leah.
"I second that." said Cruger as they watched the others argued over each other. "Enough. Would someone else like a chance to tell their story?"
"Please do. Anything to get me to fall asleep. I don't think this medicine is working at all." said Leah, as she blew her nose into a tissue.
"I will, sir." said Sky, looking over at Bridge as he raised his hand. "And you can put this down as an official report."
"As soon as we arrived on the scene, from a good vantage point that yours truly chose…" Sky started his story.
[Flashback Sky's version]
The green alien was laughing as the Krybots were stealing the gold. "I should handle this." said Sky. "It looks a little dangerous. Someone like Leah could get hurt."
He then fought some of the Krybots while a few were gathering around him. "I'll get these bots. Jack, use your blasters." said Sky.
"I wouldn't have to use if I could use a delta striker like Sky." said Jack as he was making his way through the Krybots.
"5, 7, 8…whoa, wait. Did I miss one? Uh, okay, wait, I'll just start over." said Bridge. "1, 2…"
"I'm glad Sky showed me how to battle these things." said Z, striking the Krybots.
"Come on! Sky will lead us to victory." said Syd, as she used her weapon against the Krybots.
"Well done." said the guard's muffled voice.
"Go ahead, Syd. You've always wanted to do this." said Sky.
"Let's see if I can do it like Sky does." said Syd. "The gold stays and you, you green eyed monster, you're coming with Sky! Oh, yeah and us!"
"Okay, Syd, you finish up." Sky tells her.
"Ready!" They made what looks like pulvault with their arms and Syd jumps towards the alien, striking him down.
"No!" said the green-eyed alien.
"Blue ranger saved you, but he's letting me untie you." Syd said to the guard.
"Oh, thank you." said the guard.
"Stay back." said Syd.
"Here! A little present!" he said to the rangers and throws Krybots at them. "Attack!"
"Interesting. We're clearly outnumbered." said Sky. "But I can take 'em. Am I right, rangers?"
"Yes, Sky." they replied.
"Good work, rangers." said Sky.
"Let's go, guys." said Jack.
[Flashback ends]
"Captured old green eyes, confined him, set the guard free, saved the gold." said Sky.
"(Sighs) I know how many Krybots." said Bridge.
"You taught me how to battle Krybots? When?" asked Z.
""Sky will lead us to victory"? "I wanna do it like Sky does"?" asked Syd. "What fight were you at?"
"No. No way. Someone is a victim of their own imagination." said Jack. They then hear someone munching on something and looked over at Leah, who was holding a bowl of popcorn.
"What? This is popcorn worthy." said Leah. "Want some popcorn, commander?"
"At least someone is starting to feel a little better." said Cruger, grabbing the medicine out of her bag.
"You know it. I'm still not feeling the medicine kicking in and I'm due for another dose of it." Leah said, taking another dose of medicine from Cruger.
"You're enjoying this, are you?" asked Jack.
"You bet your red uniform butt I am. This is better than getting Christmas presents." said Leah.
"How did you…?" asked Z.
"R.I.C. brought it to me." answered Leah. "Continue, Sky."
"Sir, I'm making all that up?" Sky asked.
"Yes!" the others said.
"Why doesn't someone tell us what really happened?" Cruger asked, taking a handful of popcorn from the bowl.
"Please tell us." said Leah.
"I will, sir." said Bridge.
"This should be interesting." said Leah.
"This should be a doozy." said Z.
"It started early. I was gonna have oatmeal to eat, but then I thought, no, maybe a cheese and avocado omelet." said Bridge and Leah starts to push the bowl of popcorn away.
"You just made me lose my appetite." said Leah.
"Carson!" said Cruger.
"Fine. Well, when we first got to the scene, I was the only one to enter like we learned in special entrance class." said Bridge.
[Bridge's flashback]
"Okay…follow me! Like this." said Bridge, mimicking a tiger.
"What's he doing?" asked Sky.
"I don't know." said Syd.
"Sure." said Z and followed him until they found the green-eyed alien.
"Youre busted!" said Bridge. The green-eyed alien laughed as he turned around to face them.
"This is going to be tricky. Come on!" said Bridge then goes to fight the Krybots.
"Okay, that's 5, 7, 8, uh, whoa, wait. Did I miss one? Okay, wait I'll just start over. 1, 2…" said Bridge.
"Fire! I can't believe how many Bridge has gotten." said Jack, making his way through the Krybots. "Must be 100 by now."
"Yeah, it's gotta be more than all of us put together." said Sky.
"Note to self-ask Bridge to teach me how he does it." said Z.
"Bridge, Bridge…" said Syd.
"Go for it, Syd!" said Bridge.
"Bridge, Bridge, thank you, Bridge!" said Syd. "Okay, Bridge wants me to tell you, the gold stays here, and you, green eyed monster you'll be going with Bridge."
"That's right!" Bridge said in agreement.
"Good luck." said the green-eyed alien.
"Ready!" They made what looks like pulvault with their arms and Syd jumps towards the alien, striking him down.
"No!" said the green-eyed alien.
"Thank you." said the guard.
"Do you know Bridge? When I get you untied, will you put in a good word for me?" Syd asked the guard.
"Here! A little present!" said the green-eyed alien as he throws Krybots at them.
"Don't be afraid! We can still take 'em." said Bridge and they fired at the Krybots. "Let's get out of here."
"Let's go guys!" said Jack as they ran after him.
[Flashback ends]
"We fought the robot, contained green eyes, freed the guard and saved the guard." said Bridge. "And that's the truth, the whole truth, and…"
"Nothing close to the truth." said Z.
"I'm so confused. Why would they have to mimic you like that?" asked Leah, looking at Bridge.
"So am I." said Sky.
"Still not kicking in?" asked Cruger.
"No. But I'm willing to try again in a little while." replied Leah, then looks at the medicine bottle and reads the label.
"Name one thing that I fabricated." said Bridge.
""Bridge, Bridge, Bridge, Bridge, Bridge, Bridge."" said Syd.
"Okay, name another." said Bridge.
"It's easier to name something that you didn't fabricate." said Jack.
"No wonder I'm still awake." muttered Leah.
"Commander Cruger, if you want to know the truth…" said Z.
"Oh, I do." He said.
"Then I'll tell you how it went down." said Z.
"How much do you wanna bet it won't knock me out in five minutes from now?" muttered Leah.
"I'll take that bet." whispered Cruger.
"When we arrived at the scene, we were very careful to be seen." said Z.
[Z's Flashback]
Z goes in, trying not to be seen by the Krybots. "What are you…?" Jack started to ask.
"Shh…" Z said, hushing him. "Quiet." Bridge did a somersault, then said, "Hyah!"
"Shh! Bridge, shh!" they told him.
"Okay." whispered Bridge, until they found the green-eyed alien.
"This is so easy." he said.
"Let's bring them down!" said Z.
"You go, girl." said Syd.
"Who are you?" the alien asked.
"The one and only yellow ranger!" said Z. "Come on, bag of bolts. I'll take all of you on!"
"Z is so brave!" said Jack. "I knew her before any of you did."
"Z, Z, Z…" said Sky, and kept repeating her name until the Krybots were knocked down.
"That's 5, 7, 8…whoa, wait, did I miss one? Uh, okay, wait, I'll just start over." said Bridge.
"I'd trade in all my accomplishments to be more like Z." said Syd.
"Well done!" said the guard.
"Okay, pinky, let's see what you got." said Z.
"Thanks Z! I only hope I can do this half as good as you would." said Syd. "Let's see…how would she say it? Okay. It's all over. The gold stays, and you, you green eyed monster you'll be coming with us. Yes? No?"
"Good for it, Syd." said Z.
"Ready!" They made what looks like pulvault with their arms and Syd jumps towards the alien, striking him down.
"No!" said the green-eyed alien.
"Stay back!" said Syd.
"Here! A little present!" said the green-eyed alien as he throws Krybots at them. "Attack!"
"Run! Let's go!"
"All right, everyone, do as I taught you in drills. If you can't remember, imitate me." said Z, before firing. "Let's get out of here!"
"Let's go guys!" said Jack.
[Flashback ends]
"Ba-da-boom, ba-da-Bing. We got the robot, confined green eyes, freed the guard and contained the prisoner." said Z. "I'd like to see someone argue with that story."
"Not a problem." said Syd.
"I can't believe you called her, Pinky." said Leah.
"Yeah, so that's her color." said Z.
"All I got to say for that is I wouldn't call her that straight to her face. Sure, I'll say it behind back but never to her face." said Leah.
"Hey!" said Syd.
"I meant it with the upmost respect, Syd." said Leah.
"And you have a different version, Miss Drew?" asked Cruger.
"I certainly do and this one's the truth." said Syd.
[Syd's Flashback]
"The first thing we saw was the Krybots trying to steal all this shiny gold." said Syd's voice.
"This is easier than I thought." said the green-eyed alien.
"They're stealing the gold! Let's get them!" exclaimed Syd. "Age before beauty. You go first, Jack!"
"Hey!" said Jack.
"Who are you?" asked the green-eyed alien.
"Fire!" said Jack, shooting from his blasters. "I hope I make this look good so Syd will be impressed."
"I hope I make this look good so Syd will be impressed." said Sky.
"Okay, that's 5, 7, 8…uh, whoa, wait, did I miss one? Uh, okay, wait, I'll just start over. 1, 2…" said Bridge.
"That's gotta impress Syd. I hope." said Z.
"I hope I make this look good so the others are impressed." said Syd.
"Well done!" said the guard.
"Okay, gold thief, it's all over!" said Syd. "The gold stays here and you, you green eyed monster, you'll be coming with me! Oh, yeah, them too. Help me out, guys!"
"Ready!" They made what looks like pulvault with their arms and Syd jumps towards the alien, striking him down.
"No!" said the green-eyed alien.
"Don't thank me…wait. Yeah, thank me." said Syd as she unties the guard. "I did a lot of good work."
"You're amazing!"
"Thanks, Syd."
"Here! A little present!" said the green-eyed alien as he throws Krybots at them. "Attack!"
"You're supposed to buy gold, not steal it." Syd said. "Fire!"
"Let's get out of here!"
"Let's go, guys!" said Jack.
[Flashback ends]
"And then we beat the robot, freed the guard, contained green eyes and I…or I mean, we saved the gold." said Syd.
The rangers then started talking over again when Cruger looks over at Leah. "Wao Ni kwenda gari Mimi mwendawazimu." said Leah.
"How long do you think Kat will be with that tape?" Cruger asked her.
"Hopefully, any minute. I can't take this much arguing." said Leah, pressing her ears against her head.
"Well, it's quite clear that it will never be quite clear." Cruger said over the older rangers.
"May I say something about these stories?" asked Leah.
"I was thinking the same thing, Leah. Proceed." said Cruger.
"Awesome." said Leah as she got up from his chair. She sprayed his chair with disinfectant first before walking over to the rangers.
"Jack, your story was stupid. Who in the entire galaxy would say, "Nothing like a little Krybot before breakfast."? Not me." said Leah, then kicks him in the leg before moving onto Sky.
"Sky, your story was ok for the most part but you should at least know by now that I can take care of myself. I've been working on teleporting while I'm suited up. Kat is monitoring me while I do that." Leah tells him as she walks over to Bridge.
"Bridge, I don't know whether I should've fallen asleep during your story or brought a book with me." Leah said. Then she walks up closer him. "Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that brain of yours." she tells him.
"You do?" asked Bridge.
"Every single day." said Leah, nodding before moving on to Z.
"Z, I don't know if I should quit B-squad, the academy or just go into early retirement." said Leah, then finally moves on to Syd.
"Syd, I wouldn't know how to react to your version because I think the way you told it was a fairy tale." said Leah.
"Sir, I fixed the transmission problem." said Kat. "I can show you an accurate replay of how the event went down."
"This should be interesting." said Cruger.
"It should indeed." said Leah.
"Play." said Kat. They saw the five older rangers walk into the gold depository.
"Where's the gold?" asked Syd.
"I hate that Leah's sick. She would be good to find out where green eyes is." said Z.
"Guys, this way." said Sky.
"Uh…" said Jack. They then see Bridge slips on a pipe and Jack catches him.
"Thanks." said Bridge.
"Heh heh heh heh! This is easier than I thought." said the green-eyed alien. "Who are you?"
"Freeze! S.P.D.!" said Jack.
"Aren't you missing a ranger?" he asked.
"Unfortunately, she's taking a sick day." said Bridge.
"We don't need her, right now." said Syd and they all went to fight the Krybots.
"Nothing like a little Krybot before breakfast." said Jack.
"I'll get these bots." said Sky.
"Okay, that's 5, 7, 8…uh, whoa, wait, did I miss one? Uh, okay, wait, I'll just start over. 1, 2…" said Bridge.
"Its robots like you that give good robots a bad name." said Z.
"Did I mention I was world fencing champion three years in a row?" asked Syd.
"Well done!" said the guard.
"It's all-over, green-eyed monster. You're coming with us." Syd told him. "Are you ready for us? Let's do it guys."
"Ready!" They made what looks like pulvault with their arms and Syd jumps towards the alien, striking him down.
"No!" said the green eyes alien but stricken down by Syd.
"Everything's ok. Let me help you." said Syd as she untied the guard. "Stay back."
"Here! A little present!" said the green-eyed monster, throwing Krybots at them. "Attack!"
"Let's go!"
"I'll blast our way out of here! Fire!" said Jack, shooting his blaster to make a path.
"Don't worry, guys, we'll handle this." said Sky.
"Follow me!" said Bridge, trying to get them to follow him.
"Give me some of that!" said Z.
"Here I come!" said Syd. Jack was then caught in a grip hold by one of the Krybots. "Whoa! There's so many of them." said Z.
"Man, I wish Leah was here." said Jack.
"Syd, you shouldn't have said that we don't need Leah." said Bridge.
"Ok, I admit it. It would be nice to have Leah here." said Syd, then starts struggling against the Krybots. "Let me go!"
As they continued to struggle, the ball of sparkling light came to their rescue. Leah's eyes went wide.
"Let's get in there…on three!" said Syd and the ball of sparkling light zapped the Krybots off the rangers.
"This doesn't make sense." said Bridge.
"What's happening?" asked Sky.
"What?"
"Whoa!"
"Good job, everyone." said Jack. "Let's go get Green eyes. Come on!"
They ran outside and saw him bring out his robot. "No one can stop me now!" said Green Eyes.
"I'll make the call!" said Syd. "We need the runners, Kat."
"On their way." Kat replied. Once the runners were deployed and the others were inside, they formed the megazord.
"Delta Squad Megazord." the older rangers shouted.
"I'll teach you to disrupt my plans." said Green eyes as the delta squad megazord made its move.
"Delta strike." said Jack. The megazord then held up its scanner. "You are charged with trying to steal the world's gold supply. Also tying up the guard against his will." said Syd. "And also driving a robot without a license. Judgement!"
The scanner went back and forth between innocent and guilty, until it landed on the 'X'.
"What? No!" he shouted. "But it's my gold! Mine! Mine!"
"Guilty." they shouted. "5…4…3…2…1! Fire!"
Back at the base, Cruger and Leah was shocked at them. "I can't believe you guys." said Leah, taking another dose of medicine.
"Hmm….interesting." said Cruger. "Different, but interesting. Does anyone have anything else to say?"
"Uh, yes, sir." said Jack. "What was that white sparkly thing that took out all the Krybots?"
"I don't know." said Cruger. "But I'm sure that Kat will do a detailed analysis of the footage immediately. Whatever it was, its power was amazing. Good work, rangers."
They then turned and looked at Leah. "Sparkly thing? What sparkly thing? I didn't see a white sparkly thing in that video." said Leah, grabbing her stuff and disinfecting the commander's chair.
"Leah…" said Z.
"What? I know nothing about the sparkly thing." said Leah, then points at Z. "Don't pester a sickly girl like me with questions like that."
"You know something that we don't know." said Kat. "Spill it, Leah."
"Heh heh. Gee, look at the time. Gotta go, the medicine has finally started to kick in. See ya tomorrow." Leah said very quickly and was about to teleport away when Cruger glares at her.
"Don't even think about it."
"Dang it! So close." said Leah as she walked over to them.
"I'll get it out of you soon enough." said Kat, crossing her arms before Cruger continued.
"And as any event happens which is observed by participants, it is always a matter of personal perspective." said Cruger.
"Well, yes, but…clearly there were some exaggerations here." said Jack. "Well, maybe over there, but not over here."
"Oh, we were the ones with the exaggerations?" asked Sky.
"Let's go." said Cruger as he, Kat and Leah quietly backed out of the command center with the older rangers fighting over who was right about what.
"Let's get you into bed before Z decides to chase you all over the base." said Kat, stirring Leah towards her room.
"Good idea." said Leah.
