The Next Morning
Everyone had awoken and started getting themselves ready for the day.
"Morning everyone." Sky said.
"Morning." they all responded.
"Sleep well?" Sky asked.
"A bit. Though it be comfortable if there were beds." Syd said.
"I slept like a baby." Bridge said.
"We know, we could hear you snore." Z said.
"So what should we do at the moment?" Jack asked.
"Pick up and clean a little, make it seem like home." Sky responded, and RIC barked. "Yes RIC you can help too."
"Alright then let's get started." Z said, as they all started to clean around the clock tower, while Bridge and Sky were setting up the equipment they were given by Kat and Boom in case they need to be reached.
"Well, looks like we are done here." Jack said.
"All nice and clean." Z said.
"I'll say, it was so dusty." Syd said.
"We are all set here. Now we won't have any trouble in communicating with Commander Cruger and Dr. Manx." Bridge said.
"Let's see if it works." Sky said, as Bridge switched on the screen and it was a bit blurry at first when he finally reached a signal.
"I think I got something." Bridge said, when the screen started to get clear and seeing it was Dr. Manx appearing.
"Rangers. Is that you?" Kat asked.
"Yes it's us. We have finally reached you." Bridge responded.
"Good to know. Hold on a second, let me get Commander Cruger." Kat said, and left to find Doggie, then came back with him.
"Rangers. It's good to hear from you." Doggie said.
"Same here, commander." Sky said.
"I see you all have settled yourselves somewhere, other than that anything out of the ordinary?" Doggie asked.
"Nothing at all. Everything seems to be okay so far." Z said.
"As long as you don't blow your cover, this criminal can be anywhere and may know your after him." Doggie said.
"Do your best rangers, we are depending on you, the equipment will help you sense any danger going on around." Kat said.
"We will and by the way we did receive an unexpected visitor." Syd said, when RIC came from behind and barked looking at the screen.
"I was wondering where he went." Kat said.
"Can you blame him, he was missing us." Jack said.
"Since he's here, he might be in good use of the mission, well only if he's needed." Sky said.
"I suppose why not." Kat said.
"Alright rangers, will leave you to focus on the mission. Good luck." Doggie said, as the screen went black, and they all went downstairs.
"So how do we get started on this?" Jack asked.
"Can we start with something to eat first. I'm starving." Bridge said.
"We don't have any food here or money to buy." Z said.
"How are we suppose to live like this?" Syd asked, when they heard the door open then turned around.
"Is this Nick of Time Odd Jobs?" the man asked, though they were all confused and didn't know what to say.
"Yes it is." Sky responded. "How may we help you?"
"I would like to hire you." the man responded.
"Hire us? For what?" Jack asked.
"Whatever it is, my friends and I will do it." Sky said.
"Good. Here is the direction, and come by when you can." the man said.
"Yes. No problem and thank you. Have a good day." Sky said.
"Thank you." the man said and left.
"Alright guys, time for us to work." Sky said.
"Work? As in ordinary jobs?" Syd asked.
"Yes. That way will make money and plus we can stay undercover to try and see if we can easily capture this criminal." Sky explained.
"Your right, it doesn't sound like a bad idea." Z said.
"I agree with you on this." Bridge said.
"Now come on. Let's get to it." Sky said, and were heading their way out.
Meanwhile
At Eric and Taylor's house, everyone was up and eating breakfast.
"It's good to see Sky is back, it's been so long." Taylor said.
"Yeah. I'm glad he hasn't changed." Megan said.
"So, what do you all think of Sky's friends?" Eric asked.
"They all seemed nice. I liked them." Andrea said.
"They're okay and have cool powers, though I don't know about that Z girl." Tyler said.
"What do you mean?" Taylor asked.
"Yesterday, while we were heading our way home, Tyler almost ran over her in the middle in the street." Megan answered.
"I didn't even see her, she appeared out of nowhere." Tyler said.
"Be lucky you stepped on the brake before you kept going." Megan said.
"Not to mention, he shouted to get off the road." Andrea said.
"Tyler. You got to be more careful." Taylor said.
"I know, I'm sorry it won't happen again." Tyler said.
"So, I was right I did hear a little arguing yesterday." Eric said.
"Sorry dad." Megan said.
"What are you sorry about? I mean almost reminds me of how your mother and I met." Eric said.
"How could I forget, I couldn't even stand you back then." Taylor said.
"Oh yeah. How did you guys meet?" Megan asked.
"Maybe, will tell you this another time. I got to get going." Eric answered.
"Yeah. Me too." Taylor said.
"Will pick up here, you both have a good day." Andrea said.
"Okay and thanks. Will see you much later." Taylor said, and both headed their way out.
"Tyler. Everything okay?" Megan asked.
"Yeah. Just thinking." Tyler answered.
"Thinking about what?" Megan asked.
"On how I'm going to tell dad, that I don't want to continue going to UC and can finally join the Silver Guardians." Tyler answered.
"You still want to join? You remember what happened last time." Megan said.
"I know, but I'm already old enough to make my own decisions, I can stick to something that I don't want to do, just to make dad proud of me." Tyler explained.
"All I can say, let's hope dad will easily take this well." Megan said.
"I hope your right." Tyler said.
Silver Hills Plaza
The SPD rangers spend most of the time working around, picking up trash, painting inside buildings, cleaning windows, and all other kinds of jobs, though nothing had been going on around, everything seemed to be alright. After they were done with their duties and got paid afterwards with their job well done.
"I am really beat here." Jack said.
"I'll say, I'm tired and hungry." Bridge said.
"We got done faster if wasn't for me." Z said.
"Your clones did help us, though I hate getting myself messy." Syd said.
"I don't know about you guys, I feel like we did a pretty good job." Sky said.
"Your right, all in a days work." Jack said.
"Though no trouble or danger going on." Z said.
"Which is good, since we can finally take a break." Syd said.
"Well with the money we got paid, will just buy something to eat." Sky said.
"Great. I am really starving here." Bridge said and they all laughed, while they sat on a bench table and eating, enjoying their day, when all of a sudden they heard police alarms go on, not too far from where they are.
"That sounds like trouble to me." Sky said.
"Let's go check it out." Bridge said.
"You said it." Syd said.
"Let's get into action." Z said.
"Ranger or not. I'm with you guys." Jack said, and ran to where the police cars are driving to. Sky, Bridge, Z, and Syd got their morphers out and were ready to morph.
"SPD! EMERGENCY!" all four of them morphed, seeing someone with a black coat on running off trying to escape.
"That must be the criminal." Z said.
"We are not going to let him escape." Sky said, and finally caught up to him. "SPD! YOUR UNDER ARREST!"
"Drop whatever it is and surrender." Bridge said.
"We have you surrounded." Z said.
"And won't escape that easily." Syd said, when something fell from the disguised person's hand, they were some kind of container releasing some robot like henchmen.
"Huh? What in the world?" Sky said.
"What are they?" Z said.
"I don't know, but their not krybots." Bridge said.
"Guys! He's getting away!" Syd said, seeing the criminal escape.
"You guys take on these robots, I'll go after him." Sky said, running after the criminal.
"Sky! Wait up!" Jack said, following Sky.
"Come on guys. Let's take on them." Bridge said, and started to fight them, while Sky jumped in front of the criminal and tried to fight him, with Jack helping along.
"Stand back Jack." Sky said. "Delta Blaster!" though the criminal shielded himself.
"What? It didn't even hit him." Jack said, when suddenly he got a blaster out and blasted both Jack and Sky flying to the air then easily falling to the ground and approached both of them pointing the blaster.
"So which one of you want's to be destroyed first?" the first words said from the mysterious criminal.
