"B Squad, please report to Sector Four. An alien is terrorizing the city." Kat's voice rang over the loudspeaker of SPD.

The rangers stood up from their spot in the rec room. "SPD emergency!" They all morphed and headed down to the city.

When they got to Sector Four they were welcomed by a big blue monster with large spikes formed on its head. He had six solid black eyes and three pointy fingers on each hand. What disturbed the rangers the most was the alien's large round mouth with razor sharp teeth circling the inside all the way around. With his mouth he blasted a building causing a small explosion.

Jack shouted at the alien. "Stop right there, SPD!"

The creature turned to them and began to run towards them. The rangers all charged at the alien with weapons out. At first the alien struggled, but then he got the best of each ranger. One by one colours were flying, and each ranger scuffled to get the best of the creature. The alien was strong and threw each ranger down on the ground hard enough to de-morph them. They would not let that stop them though; they got up and charged towards the alien again. This time he anticipated them and blew a huge blast towards them. They fell down in a wave. Everyone was trying to recover when Sky saw the monster was going to blast them again. He held out his arm to make a shield, but when the alien blasted him it did not hold and he was hit with a blast.

"Sky!" The team struggled to crawl closer to the blue ranger.

"Ah, I'm okay. I don't know what happened." Sky squeezed his eyes shut to distract from the pain.

The rangers heard the alien laugh, and then he was gone.

"Come on, we should get back." Z stood up and helped Sky to his feet.

The rangers stood in the SPD headquarters to debrief Doggie Cruger on their failed mission.

"I don't get it, he had us!" Syd shouted.

"Maybe his energy was getting low?" Z tried to make sense of everything.

Sky shook his head and rubbed his chest where the alien blasted him. "Believe me, he still had plenty of energy."

"Rangers, please." Cruger held up his paws. "I'm sure this is not the last we've seen of this criminal. We must be on alert for his next attack. Now I know you are all disappointed in how today was handled, but it could have gone worse."

Bridge who had not been paying attention for a while suddenly stumbled where he stood. Jack caught him before he collapsed. "Woah, Bridge. You okay?"

"What?" Bridge shook his head trying to stop the wave of dizziness that just hit. "Oh yeah, I think so. Well, I dunno I got dizzy there for a second."

Kat stepped forward. "You've all had a busy day, why don't you go get some rest."

Bridge looked up at her with tired eyes. "Yeah, maybe that'll help." He left the room.

"The rest of you should take it easy as well. Don't worry, we'll catch this assailant. Dismissed." Cruger watched as the rangers exited the room.

Later that night Sky made his way to his and Bridge's room to see Bridge sitting on his green bed. His legs were crossed and his eyes were shut. Sky did went about his business for a while before speaking to his roommate.

"Hey." Sky began to change into his night clothes.

Bridge was silent for a moment before opening his eyes. "Oh, hey Sky."

"How you feeling?"

Bridge sighed. "Better."

Sky nodded. "Got some sleep then?"

"No." Bridge shook his head a little.

Sky stared at his roommate. "Then what have you been doing this whole time?"

"Meditating." Bridge looked at Sky like he should have known.

"Okay, well I'm going to bed now."

"Me, too!" Bridge flipped around and nestled under his covers. "Night Sky."

Sky rolled his eyes. "Goodnight Bridge."

That night Bridge's sleep was filled with fitful nightmares. He kept seeing Z getting hit by herself among other terrors throughout the city.

That morning in the girl's room Z woke up first, followed shortly by Syd. The pink ranger yawned and smiled at her bunkmate. Z looked at her and laughed.

"What?" The blonde was confused.

Z smiled and nodded. "Might want to check your hands there Syd."

Syd scrunched her face up and then looked at her hand. It had absorbed her pillow and was soft and plushy. "What the?" She made her hand go back to normal. "I can't believe I did that. I haven't absorbed an element in my sleep since I was a kid."

"Must have been a deep dream." Z got up and got ready for the day.

Jack was in the cafe getting breakfast when he went to grab his orange juice. Instead his hand went right through it. Jack reached again, but this time he gripped his glass no problem. No one else seemed to notice his slight endeavor, so he grabbed his breakfast and sat down to eat. After two bites of his eggs the alarm went off.

"B Squad report to Sector Six, Krybots are attacking the city."

The rangers all dropped what they were doing and headed to Sector Six. Once there they saw Krybots all over terrorizing the citizens. The rangers jumped into action and began to take them out one by one.

Z got shuffled away from the rest of the rangers so she decided to replicate to gain an advantage. At first the clones fought the Krybots, but then they turned from them and began to attack her. Bridge looked over from where he was fighting.

"Oh no, Z! It's just like my dream." Bridge tried to make his way to help Z, but he was getting his butt kicked by the foot soldiers. Everyone was off of their game by the looks of it.

Sky punched a Krybot out. "I can't believe I'm saying this for Krybots, but I think we need to morph."

"Let's do it!" Jack agreed pulled out his morpher.

The team, excluding Z morphed into their uniforms. Jack pulled out his blaster and shot the Krybots attacking Z. That was enough for her to flip away from her clones and get them back into one piece. She then pulled out her morpher and joined in the battle. Taking out the Krybots took longer than expected, but they were defeated and the rangers were able to get back.

Cruger stood in front of the rangers at SPD headquarters. "What happened out there today B Squad?"

"Sir, something has been off ever since the alien attack yesterday." Jack spoke.

"Yeah, I dreamt about Z's clones attacking her last night and then they did." Bridge looked worried.

Z shook her head. "I don't know what happened; it was like I couldn't get a grip on them."

"Same thing happened to me yesterday." Sky looked at Z.

"I had trouble this morning with my abilities." Syd remembered the pillow incident.

Jack nodded. "Me too."

Cruger scratched his chin. "Hmm…it would seem you have all developed problems with your abilities. I think it would be wise for Miss Manx to check you all out. In the meantime do not use your abilities."

That's easier said than done. Bridge thought to himself. Everyone else could control when to turn on their abilities, but he constantly had to control keeping them off. He followed everyone out of the command center to Kat's laboratory. They each took turns getting scanned by Kat. Bridge was sitting on the exam table as she passed the scanner over him.

How peculiar.

"What's peculiar?" Bridge asked.

"What?" Kat looked confused.

Bridge stared. "You just said 'how peculiar'."

Her eyes widened. "No, I didn't."

"But, I heard you." Bridge looked at the team who was just as confused as Kat. "Or not."

"Bridge, I didn't say anything, but I did think that." Kat looked worried.

"But…"

Sky stood up. "Do you know what's happening to us?"

Kat walked over to her computer and began typing. "I'm not sure exactly. It would seem that your molecular structures have been shifted. I think the blast from the alien is causing it. His name is Jenston, and he's wanted on four other planets for stealing and converting energy for his own gain."

"So how do we get back to normal?" Syd was about to panic.

Kat looked at her. "We need to figure out the exact frequency used by Jenston, in order to restore your abilities, but we can't do that…"

"Unless, we get the bad guy." Jack sighed.

"Precisely." Kat nodded.

"So until then?" Z held out her arms.

Kat looked worried. "I'm afraid your abilities will continue to spin out of control until we find the one responsible."

Sydney stood up from where she was sitting. "Okay, but what about when this gets too out of control? What do we do then?"

The others began to agree, but Kat put her hands up. "Rangers, I know you are scared, but you are strong. You'll get through this."

Bridge was not so sure about that.
