Code Red

Chapter 6

On the other side of the city stood a man who was not really a man at all. If he were a man, he'd be a completely different person. Least that's what he thinks. What a man was is something he may never comprehend. Exactly how he might never understand how a place so beautiful and unique could be tampered with and war stricken by humans. That's what makes it confusing. Why were the Rangers fighting for a planet that can destroy itself in no time? It's like backing up a situation with facts that contradicts itself.

"Hmm," the villain hummed, "such a marvelous place."

He took the time to walk around. Since others were turning in, this was perfect for him...to have a little fun.

"But they waste such an amazing night," he realized as his head went from left to right, "oh well, guess I can't be blamed for whatever happens next."

Not feeling any regret what so ever, he almost immediately brought out a pack of foton balls. Tiny, miniscule spheres that pack a lot of power. He hadn't known when to use such a tool. That is, until everyone and everything was asleep.

"Now," he pondered, "what should go down first?"

His eyes wandered from building to building in hopes of nailing something worth millions. Stopping in the middle of the street, he saw a skyscraper like structure standing. A smirk reached his face.

"Target spotted." Kent spoke.

Grabbing a ball, he aimed and let the object hurl into the sky. His feet carried him away from the scene, trying to not be hit. A smart move indeed. That tiny little beed had the building collapsing down. After being at a good distance away from it, the alien could watch it crumble. Be reduced to ash and glass. The noise was uncanny, due to people around the area witnessing the action.

"What in the world!" A person yelled.

"I worked there!" Another voice chimed in, "now I don't have a job!"

"Wow," the alien reacted in amazement, "these are very useful. Time for a little bit of mischief."

The terrorist decided to go incognito. He traveled around the entire city, throwing those destructive spheres left, right, and center. One, two, three! Each bomb went off one after the other. It was a firework show on the ground. The night became entertainment for this guy. Daylight was far from coming, making it incredible that this was a chance for this place to be checked off the list.

Sleep was not something this teenage girl needed. No matter what the circumstances were. A night person was what she was. During the day was good and all, but the stars and moonlight suited better. Snores could be heard from upstairs. Her guess was that it came from the green and silver ranger. The girls stayed in the nearby room, not wanting to share with the boys. That was completely understandable. As much as she was warming up to the team, they are boys at the end of the day, all rules still apply.
  Her place was on the balcony, peaceful and had a great view of the city. Her butt was on the edge of the handle top while her feet dangled, watching the night sky and just enjoying the atmosphere in general. The way that owls cooed and crickets chirped had her relaxed. Why people prefer to not be out at night had her puzzled. Besides the obvious chance of wild animals and occasional bats, what was so scary about it? It nearly felt like home, which was a place she hoped she would never have to go back to unless it was business. However, this was a good part about her childhood. A part she prayed would stay forever.

"Daytime not your thing?" The redhead didn't need to turn her head to know who was speaking. He was leaning in the doorway, his elbow supporting his body. He had a smile on his face, "I didn't expect you to be a night person," the teenage boy told her, "But then again, people can be full of surprises. I never thought I would be a hero, and yet, here we are."
