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 lounge, Syd was reading aloud a horoscope from a magazine. "Geminis, look forward to an exciting day filled with adventure, romance, and a financial windfall." said Syd.

"Ka-ching! I could use some extra spending cash, since the salary I make at S.P.D. is nothing." said Jack.

"This is why I let my mom deal with my salary." said Leah. "It's easier for me this way. And I don't have to spend it all on crazy and random stuff."

"Think she could do mine?" he asked and she shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know. You can ask her about it." She tells him.

"Hey, do me. Do me. Do me." said Bridge.

"Alright, what's your sign?" asked Syd.

"That's hard to say." said Bridge. "My mother went into labor on a transpacific airline. So I was born on one day and then when, we landed, it was the day before. So I was actually born on the day before I was born."

"I'm so glad, that I was born in the S.P.D. infirmary." said Leah.

"Here, I'll read yours." said Z, taking the magazine from Syd. "It says, "Today, you're gonna be confused…and tomorrow and the next day"."

"Sam?" asked Cruger as he stood outside of the lounge.

"Later, guys." said Sam and heads towards the commander.

"I've gotta go too. Since showing her that shampoo last week, Mom decided to go on the hunt for fleas this month." said Leah, leaving her fellow rangers in the lounge.

"Sure. Cruger gets Omega ranger, Kat giving Leah a bath and we get sparky the night light." said Syd.

"Like he's Cruger's long-lost son or something." said Z.

"He couldn't be his son because of the whole interspecies aspect." said Bridge.

"At least Leah gets to have fun with Kat." said Jack.

"Come on, guys. Sam's new and he's from the future." said Sky. "I'm sure Cruger's just trying to gain some valuable information. That's all."

"And we're not valuable?" asked Jack.

"Sky!" shouted Cruger.

"Apparently, I am." Sky said as he gets up.

"Oh, man." said Jack.

"Yes, sir!" said Sky.

"I need Omega for a while. See that his daily duties are covered." said Cruger.

"But sir…" said Sky but Cruger and Sam walk away. "Yes, sir."

When Sky turns to his fellow rangers, they gave him a look. "What?" he asked.

"I wish that I was Leah right now." said Syd.

"So do I." said Z.

"Amen to that." said Jack.

Out in the city, tomatoes were being thrown at a sign that read 'The Great Mysticon Magic Show'. "Ooh! Please! Ladies and gentlemen, please!" said Mysticon. "Magic isn't always predictable, that I guarantee. My next illusion will work. My courageous assistant, Al…"

"That's me!" he said, walking up next to Mysticon.

"…Will make a perilous journey to another dimension." Mysticon said as he pulled back the curtain. "As you can see, most of him is inside the curtain."

As he said the magic words, the curtain tore itself and everyone could see Al slipping away so they started booing at him as they walked away. Morgana saw what happened and walks up to Th both of them. "Loved the show." she said, causing them to face her. "Well, maybe 'Loved' isn't quite the right word. Maybe 'Hated' is more like it."

"Oh, like we haven't heard that before." said Al.

"The name's Morgana." Morgana said, introducing herself. "You're really bad, but you have potential. With a little help from me, you could be the world's greatest magician. All you need is a little guidance…and this magic wand."

She handed Mysticon the wand as she said it. "Oh, right…a magic wand." said Mysticon, scoffing at her.

"Hmm." said Morgana and points the wand at Al, causing him to turn invisible. Mysticon was in amazed at what it could do. "Yes, a magic wand." she tells him.

"What did you do to him?" he asked.

"I made him invisible." she explained.

"Wait." said Mysticon, tearing his hands away from the wand. "Nobody gives away something like this. What do you want?"

"Oh, hardly anything…" said Morgana. "Maybe one day you could help me out, should something arise. But in the meantime, you can just enjoy this."

"Ooh, sounds good." said Mysticon as he accepted the wand from her.

"Hello? I cannot see my feet here!" said Al.

Back at the base, Cruger was talking to the rangers. "Gold, cash and jewelry, all taken in broad daylight while people were present, and no one saw anything." said Cruger. "The thefts have been going on for weeks and…"

Suddenly the alarm went off. "Where is it, sir?" asked Jack.

"411 West Rose. Omega, I want you to go and make su…" said Cruger but was cut off by Jack.

"We'll all go…sir." said Jack. They all went to their vehicles and left the base. Once they arrived, someone shouted, "Stop! Thief!"

"S.P.D.-which way did the thieves go?" asked Sam.

"Hey, I was going to say that." said Sky.

"Then go ahead." said Sam.

"Oh boy." muttered Leah.

"Fine. I will. S.P.D.-which way did the thieves go?"

"It's hard to say, really. I-I didn't actually see them." said the man. "I just saw cash floating out of my store."

"Guys! I've got one over here!" Bridge shouted to the others. As they went over, they saw him fighting someone invisible. "Bridge, what are you doing?" asked Jack.

"Besides getting beat up." said Leah. Bridge didn't answer until he pushed whatever he was fighting against a metal bar, revealing Al. "I think your friend's going to need a little help." said Morgana as she and Mysticon watched from the sidelines.

"You're kidding! I'm a magician, not a fighter." he tells her.

"(Scoffs) Fine. I'll do it. Men…" Morgana said, then throws both Krybots and Blue heads to help Al.

"Okay. Sky, you and Omega take the big lizard. Syd, Z, Leah and I will take the rest." said Jack.

"Ready!"

"Ready! S.P.D. EMERGENCY! Space Patrol Delta!"

Jack, Z, Syd and Leah went to go deal with the Krybots. Al was able to get Bridge knocked down in a chair. "I'm out of here!" he said and starts to take off around the corner.

Both Sam and Sky went after him while the others dealt with the Krybots. "There he is!" shouted Sky.

"Let's do it!" agreed Sam. Al went to attack them and the fight began, flinging Sky towards the wall seconds later. "You okay?" asked Sam, before went took a shot at Al.

Back with the others, they continued their fight with the Krybots and Blue head. "Delta Blasters! Hyah!" shouted Jack with his blasters in hand. Soon enough, the girls joined at Jack's side when the Blue Head shot them, knocking them to the ground. "Better join them." said Bridge as he looked up. "S.P.D. EMERGENCY!"

Bridge went to attack the Blue Head from behind. "Want a hand?" asked Jack.

"Do it." he replied and both of them attacked together.

"Come on!" shouted Z as all three girls ran towards them to help.

"Where do you think you're going?" asked Morgana.

"That's S.P.D. down there. I didn't sign up for this." said Mysticon.

"Remember how you promised to help me out should something arise?" she asked. "Well, something just arose. [Laughs]"

"Come on!" shouted Al.

"Omega morpher….charged up!" shouted Sam as he charged his morpher and punches him. When he stumbles back, Sky walks up to him as Sam said, "You are under arrest! You have the right to remain silent."

"Yeah, yeah! Like I haven't heard that before." he tells them. Back at the base, Cruger then tells the rangers, "Interrogate him."

"Al…" said Jack. "Now, we can go easier on you if you just tell us who else is involved."

As Al groans, behind the one-way mirror, the rangers, Cruger and Kat were watching the interview. "This should be interesting." said Leah.

"We're betting you're working with somebody else. All you got to do is tell us who, and we'll take four, five years off your sentence. What do you say?" asked Jack. Al leans forward and burps in his face. "You better tell us what we want to know or else!" said Sky as he got in Al's face.

"Ew! Did you have onions for lunch?" asked Al, smelling Sky's breathe.

"Okay, that's disgusting." said Leah.

"It must have been tough for you, Al…never getting a break from anyone." said Syd as she looked at the one-way glass. "Me? I had it all…great parents, good education, a credit card. And you? How can you ever amount to anything with your skin so…scaly?" asked Syd.

"Scaly! I am a lizard. Hey, can you bring the blue guy back in?" he asked her. Behind the glass, Z was laughing as they all looked at Sky. "I like that idea. Let's send him back in. I want to see how that turns out." said Leah, smiling at him. Sky looks at the others, shrugging his shoulders with the 'what' look on his face.

"Ugh! What's that racket?" Al asked as Z was interviewing him, playing some music.

"It's good, huh?" asked Z.

"Yuck!"

"It's a song that Syd wrote and performs." said Z. "It's called, 'Me'…because it's all about her. You like it?"

"Seriously, can you bring the blue guy back? Please?" Al asked again. Everyone behind the glass looked at Sky again. "What does he know? He's a lizard." said Syd, defending herself.

Leah was next in the room with Al, and all she did was stare at him with a plate full of food in front of them. "You hungry? There's sugary snacks for you to eat." she tells him, grabbing the bag full of sugar cookies, but Al said nothing to her.

"Seriously? The silent treatment just so that you can talk to bring the blue guy again? Dude, that aint happening."

"And why not?" he asked.

"The blue guy has other things to do besides talking to you again." said Leah, pointing a cookie at him. "Now if I were you, I'd eat something because it's gonna be the last meal you'll ever have." Finally, Bridge was in the room with him. "But then again, why should you help us? Prison is safe, secure. But is anything ever really, truly secure?" said Bridge as he paces back and forth. "Security can only come from one place…yourself."

"Get to the point." said Al.

"Just a false sense of…of…of…security. And what does security really give us?" asked Bridge when suddenly Al couldn't take it anymore of his babbling.

"Stop! I can't take it anymore! I'll talk! I'll talk." he said to Bridge. "It was Mysticon, helped by some dame named Morgana." Bridge then looks over at the window, giving them a thumbs up.

"He's good." said Sky.

"Really good. Let's use him for things like this more often." said Leah, stuffing another sugar cookie into her mouth.

"Gruumm, Commander?" asked Kat, looking at Cruger.

"Yes…he's up to something." he tells her, just before Kat grabs the bag of cookies from her daughter. Leah just stared at her like a wounded animal. "I'm not in the mood of having a hyper active child today." she tells her.

"But you love me." Leah said with a mouth full of cookies.

"Yes I do, just not with a body pumped full of sugar." she tells her and steers her out of the room.

"But mom…" said Leah.

"Don't 'But mom' me. No more cookies." said Kat. "Naapa nahitaji kufuatilia wewe sukari ulaji."

"But I'm fine." said Leah in disappointment.

"Don't lie to me, cub." Kat tells her.

In space, Mysticon was standing in front of Gruumm. "I don't have to help you or anyone else, not as long as I have this." said Mysticon. Growling, Gruumm points his scepter at the wand and burns it in his hands, laughing as he does it.

"Okay, I'm leaving now." Mysticon said and tries to leave but Morgana stands in his way of leaving.

"You will obtain a scientist for me. If I took her myself, it would call too much attention to my plan." said Gruumm.

"Your plan?" question Mysticon.

"Nevermind about that. Now, either you help me or be…"

"Vaporized. He can do it with his eyes closed." Morgana said, finishing what Gruumm had said.

"Broodwing will sell you a robot to help you." said Gruumm.

"I don't have that kind of money!" explained Mysticon.

"Then he'll give you one."

"Give? I don't give anything away for free." Broodwing said, outraged at the emperor.

"You will do as I order!" he said in anger. "I've given you enough money for your ineffectual weaponry!"

"Yes, my emperor."

"First, I want you to do a little charity work for me." Gruumm said, pulling Mysticon aside.

"You'll get yours, Gruumm, I promise you that." Broodwing muttered to himself.

Back at the base, the older rangers were in the command center, looking at a poster that was in Z's hands. "'Benefit for New Tech University science center, featuring the great Mysticon.'" said Z, reading the poster out loud. "(Sighs) I have a bad feeling about this."

"So do I." said Cruger. "That's why I'm sending Sam to do some undercover work."

"Sam…again? But…" said Sky.

"Do you have a problem with my decision, cadet?" asked the sirian, before looking at the others. "Do any of you?"

When none of them answered, he then said, "Good. Now, Leah is on a special assignment with a friend of mine. Depending on how well she does, Leah will be back."

Outside of the base, the rangers followed Sam. "I don't think this is such a good idea, guys." said Z.

"We'll show Cruger we're just as good as Omega. We all know that Leah would agree with us." said Sky. "Anyways, we're just giving him some back up."

"Right…back up he didn't ask for and Cruger didn't assign." said Jack

"Yeah, but it's still backup. It's like the whole "tree falling in the forest" thing. Think Leah would enjoy this kind of thing?" asked Bridge.

"Nah, Leah isn't into magic tricks. She can't sit through them long enough to watch the trick being done and she'll even figure it out." said Z. "Leah's more into building stuff and pranking people than stuff like this. However, she would love to be in the science program though."

"As smart as she is, who would be." said Sky. "She is Kat's daughter."

"I'm gonna go check over here." said Syd, as she looks over at a sign, saying that someone needed an assistant. "Uh, you guys go on without me."

"All right. We'll save you a seat." said Jack as she walks off. She walks in as Mysticon turns around to face her. "Ooh, and who are you?" he asked.

"I'm applying for the new assistant position." Syd replied. "I love magic. I really love money. And I won't ask questions."

"Ooh, youre hired." Mysticon said as he shakes her hand.

"Psst!" said Morgana, getting Mysticon's attention.

"Huh? Excuse me, my dear." he tells her and walks over to Morgana. "What is it?"

"Your new assistant, she's S.P.D." Morgana whispered.

"Ooh, she is so fired." he said, looking towards Syd.

"No, no, no, no, no! Here's what you're going to do." she said and tells him in his ear what he should do. As he walks back, Syd then asks, "Anything the matter?"

"Everything's just fine." Mysticon replied. "In fact, we're going to do our first trick right now." He aims the wand at Syd and suddenly, she was hypnotized. "You will do everything I say, understood?" he asked.

"Understood." she said in a monotone voice soon as she opened her eyes. In the auditorium, Mysticon was bowing as the audience clapped. "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! I am the great Mysticon. And thank you for donating to the university's science program." said Mysticon. "Now for our main event, let the magic begin! And now, with help from my lovely assistant, on with the show!"

Syd, still under Mysticon's spell, walks out on stage. "Right this way, my dear. Have a seat, if you will." said Mysticon, directing her to a chair with a sheet on it. Z leans over to Sky and said to him, "It's Syd."

"She's gone deep undercover." said Sky as Mysticon places the sheet over her.

"I didn't know Syd could do magic." said Bridge.

"Abracadabra!" said Mysticon, waving the wand and making Syd disappear. "Now where could she be?"

In the back if the stage, Syd was unfazed and surrounded by Krybots as she heard Mysticon's voice. "Thank you! Now for my next illusion, I need a volunteer from the audience. Uh, perhaps someone who's not quite so eager." said Mysticon as Bridge waved his arm in the air eagerly. He then looks at the professor that was sitting in front of the rangers. "How about you, ma'am?" he asked. "Yes, you….please don't be shy. It's for the university."

Once up on the stage, Mysticon asked, "and what is your name?"

"Dr. Helen Tyler-Jones." she said.

"Step right inside for me, please, doctor. You'll be fine." he tells her. Sam was hovering over them, watching. Back at the base, Kat was informing Cruger. "Gruumm's had diamonds stolen….iridium, even sand. But I don't see how this magician fits in." said Kat. Before he could replied, an incoming message came in. "Sam?" asked Cruger.

"Mysticon's just pulled a woman named Dr. Helen Tyler-Jones out of the audience." said Sam. "Does her name mean anything to you?"

"Dr. Helen Tyler-Jones." said Kat as she typed the name. "Just one of the world's leading microbiologists. But what would Gruumm want with her?"

"Those things he's been stealing, he just might want someone to combine them for his evil purpose." said Cruger. "I'll send the other rangers."

"They're already here." said Sam.

"They're what?!" shouted Cruger.

"Good thing Leah isn't here to see this." said Kat.

Back at the university, the show continued on. "Right this way, doctor. Mind your step." said Mysticon as she got in and closes the door. "I will now tap this container once…twice…three times, and voila!"

He opens the door of the sarcophagus, revealing that she disappeared. "And she's gone!" he said to the audience as they clapped, not knowing that she was backstage with Syd.

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! That will be all for tonight." he said.

"Aren't they gonna bring the doctor back?" asked Jack, leaning next to Bridge.

"Remember, give to the university." said Mysticon and as he walks back the sarcophagus, there was a knock coming from inside. As the knocking continued, he then asked, "Whoever could that be?"

Once the door was opened, there was Sam. "S.P.D. EMERGENCY!" shouted Sam and transferred to human form. The audience was shocked as they left. "Looks like it's show time." said Jack as Sam tries to stop Mysticon.

"Ready!"

"Ready! S.P.D. EMERGENCY!"

Mysticon ran backstage, dodging Krybots and grabbed Syd, telling her, "You're coming with me! Out of my way!"

Outside of the university, Mysticon dragged Syd alongside him, towards Morgana, with Dr. Tyler-Jones struggling behind her. Just then, the others arrived. "Hold it right there!" shouted Sam.

"Stop them!" ordered Mysticon and both sides went to fight. He then looks at Syd, then says, "You, too. Good girl."

Syd then goes off and fights her fellow rangers until Bridge tries to stop her. "Syd!" said Bridge as she fights him. "Whoa, Syd! It's me, Bridge!"

"I must stop you." she said in a monotone.

"Yeah, sure." he said and grabs her morpher, putting it into her hand. "But, uh, first say, 'S.P.D. EMERGENCY,' okay?"

"S.P.D. EMERGENCY, okay?"

Once she had suited up, Bridge said, "Yes!"

"What? Where am I?" Syd asked, snapping out of it and Bridge swings a Krybot against a car.

"In the middle of a fight!" replied Bridge

"What else is new?" asked Syd.

"Omega morpher…power mode!" shouted Sam as he revs up his morpher and hits the blue head, sending him against the wall. Two Krybots that were holding the doctor, took off with her and Sam went after them. "Stop!" he shouted and fights them until they were knock to the ground. He then turns to Dr. Tyler-Jones. "Go find somewhere safe!"

"Hyah! No, you don't!" said Syd as she was fighting Mysticon. She grabs him by his cape and pulls him back, causing him to lose the wand. "My wand!" he exclaimed. When he was knocked to the ground, he saw the wand on a wooden box. But before he could reach it, Bridge takes it. "Unh-unh! I'll hold on to this." said Bridge.

"Ooh! I've got to get to Broodwing's robot." said Mysticon as he runs off. "Yes!"

"He looks like a tough one." said Cruger as he saw the robot appeared on the screen.

"I reconfigured the megazord to combine, if necessary. I just hope it works." said Kat and deploys the delta runners and Omega Max Cycle. Just then, Leah walks in with dirt on her face and the smell of swamp. Kat then looks over at her daughter. "What happen to you?" she asked.

"Never…..send me….to him….again. He's nuts." said Leah.

"You're covered in dirt." said Kat.

"And I pretty sure I smell weird too." said Leah, smelling her uniform and gave a disgusted look.

"Welcome back and we'll talk about this later. Right now, suit up." said Cruger.

"S.P.D. EMERGENCY!"

"Transform to Megazord." said the rangers.

"Ugh, what died in the runners?" asked Z.

"It's disgusting." said Syd.

"Sorry guys. I just got back and I didn't have time to take a shower. I promise, I'll take one after this, ok?" said Leah.

"You better." said Sky. Both Megazords were standing side by side, staring at the robot.

"We'll go in first, Sam." said Jack, taking the squad megazord first, but the robot was too quick. "How'd he do that?"

The megazord tried again but the robot was still quick. "You can't capture the great Mysticon!" he said as he touches his mustache.

"That's what you think!" said Jack.

"Wait a minute? We're battling a magician?" asked Leah.

"You got it." said Syd.

"Good thing I don't watch magic tricks. I could never sit through any kind of magic show." said Leah.

"I'm going in!" said Sam, going after the robot but didn't catch him.

"Now together!" shouted Jack.

"Okay!"

Both Megazords jumped at the same time to get the robot but missed and collided when the robot got out of the way. "Watch where you're going!" said Sam.

"Me? It wasn't my fault!" said Jack. "You should have been following…"

"Guys! Come on! Let's rush him both at once." said Sky.

"Right."

The Omega Megazord transformed back into the cycle and the delta squad Megazord ran with it. "Let's do it, Sam!" said Sky. "Go for it!"

"Oh, so close." said Syd when one of the shots missed the robot and Mysticon laughs at them from inside the robot.

"We've got to combine the Megazords." said Bridge.

"I don't know. Are you sure we're ready for this, Kat?" Z asked.

"You've been trained, rangers. You are ready." said Kat. "Delta Max Megazord sequencing initiated."

"All right!"

"Let's do this!"

"Hang on, everybody!" said Jack.

"Delta Max Megazord!" they shouted as both the Omega Max Cycle and the Delta Squad Megazords combined for the first time, creating the Delta Max Megazord.

"Now this thing rocks!" said Syd.

"Remember, rangers, there's a hyper speed mode that might come in useful." said Kat.

"Thanks for the reminder, Kat." said Sky.

"You don't scare me." said Mysticon.

"Boosters…go!"

"How did they do that?" he then asked as the megazord jumps over him.

"Hyper-speed!" shouted Sky as the megazord goes quickly past the robot, knocking it down. "Judgement time!"

As the scanner went back and forth, Mysticon tried to defend himself. "No! Wait! None of this was my idea! I was forced to do it by that Gruumm fellow and Morgana. I mean, sure, I'm a crook. But I can be reformed. I know I can! I've been reformed many times." he tries to tell them.

"Guilty!"

"Maybe just a little." he then says.

"Full power!" Once the megazord had punched the robot, knocking it to the ground, it had exploded.

"You're going down!"

"Case closed!" said Sky.

"Thanks to me!" Sam said at the same time as Sky.

"Huh? Ah, whatever." said Sky.

"They did it." said Kat, with a smile on her face. "They did it! You don't seem happy."

"With the exception of Leah, I'm not." he tells her.

Once the rangers had returned, Cruger was laying it into them. Leah had a towel wrapped around her head now that she had taken a shower. "You deliberately violated my order!" Cruger started saying to them.

"It was my fault, sir." said Jack. "It was my idea. I just wanted to show you that we're as good as rangers as Sam."

"Who said you weren't? Not me. Did you, Leah?" asked Cruger as Leah shook her head. "However, Sam is a very special individual."

"We know that sir." said Sky. "It's just you've been spending an awful lot of time with him and…"

"I've been spending a lot of time with him to get him acclimated to this space, this time." said Cruger. "I did this knowing that you are fully confident and self-sustaining. Was I mistaken?"

"No, sir, it's just that we were a little…" Bridge started to say.

"Jealous." said Z.

"Wow. Jealousy does not look good on you guys." said Leah.

"There's no room for jealousy here!" said Cruger. "You are my rangers. You are my team, including Leah. You will just have to trust that. Trust in yourselves. Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" they shouted.

"Can I go to the infirmary?" asked Leah, looking down at the red patch on her arm. "I think I need to get this checked out."

"It looks bad." said Kat as they both went to the infirmary together.

In a disclosed location, Broodwing was angry. "Aah! They destroyed my robot, my robot that wasn't paid for!" Broodwing shouted. "That was my robot, my money, my loss! Gruumm will pay dearly for crossing me!"
