Reflection Part 2

"I didn't feel it was in your best interest at the time." said Cruger looking at Sky.

"You're probably right." said Sky. "The fact is, I blew it. I let my feelings get the best of me, and Mirloc got away. I should be demoted back to 'D' squad."

"That's the decision for your team leader." said Cruger, looking at Jack. Jack turns to face Sky, then tells him, "You told me your father fought to the end. And now you want to quit because you messed up once? I guess you're not much like your father, after all."

"I say we split up, hit the streets." said Sky.

"Alright." said Jack in agreement. "You, Syd, and Kiara take city plaza. Bridge, Z, check out New Tech Center."

"I'd like to help too." said Sam as he comes into the command center.

"Sam, you're back." said Z.

"I sent for him. You're going to need all the help you can get." said Kat.

"Kat debriefed me about Mirloc." said Sam. "I'm ready to go."

"Good timing...Sam and I will take the west side." said Jack.

"Excellent. Be careful all of you." said Cruger

"Yes, sir." they said and left the command center.

Back on Gruumm's ship, Mirloc is brought in to see Gruumm by Morgana. "Emperor Gruumm, it's a true honor." said Mirloc, bowing to him.

"Of course, it is." said Gruumm.

"Mirloc escaped Maximum security. Isn't that cool?" explained Morgana.

"It is impressive."

"With your permission, I'll continue my work where I left off." said Mirloc.

"Eh, your petty crimes don't interest me." said Gruumm. "I have much bigger plans. But it seems we have a common enemy in the power rangers."

"Let me take care of the rangers, and then we will both get what we want." Mirloc tells him, creating fists.

Z and Bridge were in the S.P.D. jeep, on their way to the center. "Keep your eyes peeled for anything weird, okay?" Z said to Bridge. He looks into the rearview mirror, seeing Mirloc, points to and asks, "Like that?"

They both looked at the back seat, finding no one there. "Huh?" asked Z and then pulls the jeep over. "This isn't a taxi! Get out!"

"Hello kiddies! Looking for me?" Mirloc asked as he comes out of the mirror, facing Bridge and Z.

"As a matter of fact, we are." said Z.

"Then I'm pleased I've made your search a short one." said Mirloc, grabbing his chest and opening it. "Come along, little rangers."

"Commander, I've lost the signal on Carson and Delgado." said Kat.

"Something's wrong. I'll check with the others." said Cruger.

Over by a small pond, Sky, Kiara, and Syd were on the lookout for Mirloc when a morpher started beeping. "Cadets, anything suspicious?" he asked.

"No, it's all quiet on this end, sir." said Sky.

"We've lost contact with Bridge and Z." said Cruger.

"What?!" Kiara said, being scared for Z. They continued walking around. Syd and Kiara went to edge of the bridge to look down at the water of the small river below them.

"Hmm, do you think I should go brunette?" Syd mused out loud then Mirloc appeared in the water.

"No! I'll take you the way you are." said Mirloc.
