Code Red

Chapter 8

1:34am.

Crashing back at Jake's place, the crew came back injured. The good news was that nothing was broken. Unfortunately, tons of bruised were shown and they were unable to cover some of them. The pain was outmatched by fatigue for the most part. The group of teens crashed easily that night. With the exception of two, the team was sound asleep. The incognito affect wore off by the time the heroine reached the house. She climbed on the side of it and hopped back on the balcony. Choosing to not join the others, the young girl returned to the original place she was before they were called. And looking back a bit behind her, a half smile made it to her face as she was aware she was not alone.

The two teens remained in their spots until morning. The sunrise peeked over the city. It was peaceful. Checking the time, the red ranger saw that it was precisely 6:07am. He walked away from the teenage girl to start his routine. It was a basic and easy routine. Brush his teeth, shower, eat, then train. As for right now however, he decided to hold off on breakfast. He hopped out of the shower as quickly as he got in. His arms stretched out and he let out a yawn.
  As he went to go change into clean clothes, a person slipped by him. Turning around, the leader of the team saw that it was his night time buddy. She entered the bathroom and closed the door. Feeling a bit mischievous, the red ranger walked backwards until he reached the lavatory door. The sink was running, which had to have meant she was brushing her teeth. The lone wolf put his hand on the knob. After a few more minutes of the water flowing, the noise stopped. The redhead tried to get out of the bathroom to grab her towel. That didn't happen since the knob was jammed.

"Jake let go." Savannah called, "I gotta wash."

"Well if you wanna wash, you need to get past me." Troy counteracted.

The female warrior raised an eyebrow, her voice growing an edge, "Let go."

"Why don't I just go get your towel and you get undressed?" Troy asked, "let me be generous."

"You're generous and I'm grateful." Savannah spoke sarcastically, "Now let me go get my stuff."

"Alright," Troy allowed as he let go of the knob, "Go ahead."

Stepping out, his companion shut the door. She turned and faced him, glancing up and down at his bod.

"Least you weren't annoying," Savannah stated, "Otherwise it'd get ugly."

"Yeah, I would probably get a beating wouldn't I?" Troy guessed.

"If it was that bad." Savannah counteracted as she turned around. Before she was out of sight, she turned her head slightly, "And put on a shirt, your body is distracting."

The aloof team member looked down at his toned abs for a brief moment before he raised his head back up. His left eyebrow was lifted as a small smile formed on his lips. That feeling came back, but for his own personal reasons, he tried to hold it back. It failed, like he once did previously when it occured. The red ranger walked to go get his bag and change.

Not needing any sleep, the villainous creep soared his way back into space. From every star he passed to every planet he took a glance at, his main goal was to check on his world. His army was busy preparing for any means necessary. With them being under harsh rule, it was no wonder these guys weren't taken lightly. It took the man a few minutes before he could see his planet. Flying fast towards it, he sent out a signal to notify his crew about him arriving. It less than thirty seconds, his feet landed on the ground.

"Oh a home so relaxing can cause massive destruction." Kent spoke aloud, "Weird yet unexpected, I like it."

"Sir!" A guy called. Slightly looking to his left, the alien assassin realized that one of his guards were approaching him, "I got what you wanted." the guard informed as he pulled out sheets of paper, "The history of every lengendary Ranger. All of their powers, weapons, tools, and past foes. It took me weeks, but I got as much as I could find."
