Normal POV

Tracy is studying up on what happened the last time Emperor Grumm tried to conquer the planet. She has studied fifteen files in the past hour. She is beginning to get tired and her eyes are starting to get heavy. She blinks repeatedly to stay awake, but it is useless. She looks down at her watch. It reads one am so she takes off her glasses to wipe the sleep from them. She puts her glasses back on and gets back to work. Isinia and Commander Cruger enter the room ten minutes later. They see Tracy leaning up against the far wall, completely comatose, with a file in her left hand and her glasses in the other hand.

"How long has she been at this Doggie?" Isinia whispers to her husband.

"She had been at it since eight o clock this morning." He whispers back.

They walk over to Tracy. Commander Cruger gently slides the file from her hand and gives it to Isinia. Isinia walks over to the bookshelf to put the file back where it belongs. Then she walks back over to her husband. Cruger picks up the comatose red ranger. He cradles her in his arms as Isinia looks down at her. She sees her eyelids fluttering and a smile on her face.

Well, at least she is having a good dream. Isinia thinks.

They exit the room to head to Tracy's quarters. When they arrive the door slowly slides open. Cruger walks over to the bed and gently places the red ranger down. Isinia slides the eyeglasses from Tracy's right hand and puts them on the end table. He walks to the closet and takes out an extra blanket. He goes back over to the bed and drapes it over the red ranger. Then they leave the room in silence.

Tracy and Michael are walking down the pier holding the other's hand. They stop in front of the bandstand. The band was playing songs from the 70's and 80's. They start to play "Brown Eye Girl." And Michael starts to sing along. He changed the lyrics so that they would describe Tracy. All she could do is smile while he is signing to her. When the song ends he has asks her what she thought of the song. She kisses him on the cheek.

The band begins to play "Unchained Melody" and he asks her if she would like to dance. She nods so he leads her to a place where they can dance without bumping into anyone. Soon they started the waltz around the pier. When the song concludes the two teenagers look up at each other. Michael moves in close and their lips are about to press against each others. Tracy heard the sound of a buzzer.

Tracy slowly opens her eyes and rolls over to turn off the alarm. She has no idea how she ended up in her room. The last thing she remembers is reading the file on Icthior. She rolls onto her back to stare at the ceiling for a while. Five minutes or so later she picks her glasses off the end table to puts them back on her face. She gets out of bed, stretches her stiff muscles, changes into a clean uniform and leaves to go get some breakfast. Tracy walks into the common room and is greeted by Pikachu. He jumps into her arms, giving her a big hug.

"Good morning to you too buddy." She says

He moves onto her left shoulder. She walks over to the food sysnasizer to get some grub. She pushes a few buttons and a bowl of oatmeal appears along with a glass of orange juice. She walks over to the couch and is about to sit down when the rangers were called to the command center.

Man every time, Tracy thought.

The rangers enter the command center. Tracy is still in the process of waking up.

"Glad you could join us, Sleeping Beauty," Sky says.

"Very Funny, Sky," Tracy says.

Pikachu sees Tracy wiping the sleep from her eyes. She is about to doze off again. Pikachu uses his thunderbolt to wake Tracy up.

"Hey, buddy I'm awake!" She snaps.

The other rangers just laugh.

"Rangers, that's enough, " Cruger growls.

The rangers stop laughing and they take their seats around the computer in the middle of the command center. Commander Cruger fills the team in on the latest crime wave that had the citizens of New Tech City in a panic.

"How are the criminals getting away with their schemes?" Bridge asks.

"They have been deactivating the store's security systems, " Kat answers.

"Wow, you think if they are smart enough to create a security system that couldn't be deactivated or would shock the criminal if he/she tries to deactivate it?" Tracy says.

Everyone looks over at Tracy with different looks of shock on their faces.

"What, what did I say?" Tracy asks

"Tracy, you're a genius," Bridge says.

"Can I get that in writing?" Tracy jokes.

Commander Cruger asks Kat if she can make something like that. Kat says she will get right on it. She leaves to go to her lab. Cruger tells the team to go patrol the city. The rangers salute and leave the command center. Bridge and Z patrol the east side of the city. They didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until Icthior jumps in front of the jeep. Z swerves to avoid hitting him. She slams on the brakes. Then she and Bridge hop out of the jeep.

"Hello again rangers, " Icthior says.

"Didn't you learn your lesson last time?" Bridge asks.

"I am going to have to say no," Icthior answers.

"Looks like we are going to have to confine you again." Z says.

"Sorry, rangers, that's not going to happen, " Icthior says confidently.

Bridge and Z morph into SWAT mode. They fire their blasters at Icthior. He uses his sword t deflect the blasts. Then he slashes them with his blade. They lay on the ground, demorphed.

"Well, rangers looks like I win again." He says.

He uses the tip of his blade to remove the badge from their uniform. Then he leaves the scene. Bridge finds the strength to call for help.

"Sir, Icthior is back, " Bridge says.

"Bridge, are you sure about that?" Cruger asks.

"Yes, sir and he is even stronger than last time," Bridge answers.

Then he faints a few seconds later. Cruger asks him if he is alright. He doesn't hear Bridge give a response and is worried about his fellow ranger. So he orders for a few members of the medical team to go check on them. Meanwhile on the west side of town, Pikachu jumped from Tracy's shoulder and his cheeks starts sparking.

"Tracy, what's wrong with him?" Syd asks.

"Nothing. He just senses something, that's all." Tracy answers.

"What does he sense?" Syd asks.

"No clue, Syd." Tracy answers.

Then Icthior comes out of the shadows. Pikachu charges in towards Icthior and uses his iron tail attack. He blocks the attack with his sword and Pikachu flies backward. He hits the wall hard.

"Pikachu." Tracy yells.

Tracy and Syd run over to him. Pikachu tries his best to stand and gets up a few seconds later. Then she turns around to face Icthior.

"Look, Icthior, no one hurts my best friend and gets away with." Tracy says.

"Ready, Tracy?" Syd asks.

"Ready." Tracy says.

"SPD Emergency." The girls say.

"So Doggie has a female red ranger and electric rodents fighting for him. Now that's funny." Icthior taunts.

"You better be ready to eat those words. I'll prove to you that Commander Cruger wasn't wrong when he asked me to join S.P.D. That Electric rodent has a name, it's Pikachu. He and I are a great team and we'll prove it." Tracy says.

"I'd like to see you try, Ranger girl." He says.

"That's it. Pikachu, are you up to showing this creep how strong we are? Pikachu, use Zap cannon." Tracy says.

Pikachu unleashes his attack while she fires her blasters at Icthior. He reflects their attacks back at them. The laser blasts hit Pikachu. Pikachu's attack hits Tracy. They're sent flying and hit the wall hard. Tracy demorphs as she hits the ground.

"Tracy are you two all right?" Syd asks.

She runs over to them. Icthior jumps in front of her and slashes her with his sword. Syd falls to the ground. She lays on the ground demorphed. Icthior takes her badge as a victory gift. Then he walks over to Tracy and Pikachu. The two of them struggled to get to their feet.

"Well, that was a little too easy." Icthior says.

"What do you want?" Tracy asks.

"Just a little Victory gift." He says.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

He uses his foot to roll Tracy onto her back. Tracy watches as Icthior removes the badge from her uniform.

"Thank you ranger." He says.

Tracy watches as he slowly walks away. She tries to get up. She gets half way up before she faints.
