Summary: Ziggy have to talk with Summer and Doctor Z on behalf of Dillon and then stop Dillon from doing anything, drastic.
“Ziggy.”
“Ranger Operator Series Green,” Doctor K said as she hopped down from the stool she’d been sitting on.
“Summer, Doctor K, sorry for the accommodations,” Ziggy said gesturing to Summer’s room where the two had been sequestered, “We’re clearing out the ranger gear from the Garage. Then you’ll have free to move around the place at will.”
“This is our Garage, we should never have been locked in here, Ranger Operator Series Green,” Doctor said sharply as she glared at Ziggy.
“How are Scott and Flynn?” Summer asked as she got off the bed and looked at the doorway.
“Flynn’s fine, his leg’s broken again; you know he really shouldn’t have been on it yet. And he doesn’t like being locked up next door but he’s good,” Ziggy said as he paced back and forth.
“And what about Ranger Operator Series Red?” Doctor K asked.
“Scott’s not so fine,” Ziggy said as he stopped and turned to the women, “Scott really shouldn’t have gotten up that last time. Dillon was getting a little annoyed and okay maybe he shouldn’t have slammed Scott into the road quite so hard but really did Scott have to get up after he’d been demorphed? And it was Dillon that demorphed him anyways and that was before Flynn got taken out.”
“We’re Rangers Ziggy! We get knocked down and we get back up. That’s what we do, we get back up!” Summer ranted as she got nose to nose with Ziggy.
“You’re right, you don’t give up, but sometimes you have to…let’s say re-strategize and if Scott had done that he wouldn’t be in a coma right now,” Ziggy said back as he watched Summer step back in a humph.
“And betraying the rangers program and the rest of us was just re-strategizing then Ranger Operator Series Green?” Doctor K said dryly.
“Yeah Doc, that’s what it was, Dillon’s plan charged so my plan changed. Dillon isn’t asking for much, he is willing to let humans live.”
“Ranger Operator Series Black’s plan or Venjix’s plan?” Doctor K queried as she stared at Ziggy.
“Dillon’s. Venjix is gone for good. And we have Dillon to thank for that too, can you forgive him yet?” Ziggy said as he started rocking on his feet.
“Really,” Doctor K started as she folded her arms, “And just how did Ranger Operator Series Black manage to do that Ranger Operator Series Green? How did he manage to destroy the most advanced computer program ever created,” She demanded to know as she continued to glare at Ziggy.
“I’ll let him tell you,” Ziggy started as she started backing away from Doctor K until he felt the door behind him.
“ NO Ranger Operator Series Green,” Doctor K yelled as she stepped forward and grabbed Ziggy by the collar pulling him down to her level far quicker then Ziggy thought she could, “You will answer the question or I’ll fine uses for this collar that Ranger Operator Series Black haven’t even thought of.”
“Venjix downloaded into Dillon to control the Bio-field but it backfired and destroyed Venjix,” Ziggy blurted out as he jerked back on his collar which slipped out of Doctor K’s stunned fingers as she stumbled backwards.
“The bio-field…a compressed loop through the morph matrix…” She started talking to herself as she walked to Summer’s nightstand and pulled out a notebook and started writing on it still talking through it to herself.
“Dillon is still Dillon then?” Summer asked over Doctor K’s talking.
“He’s not quite the same,” Ziggy said as he paced in front of Summer again, “I mean the old Dillon would not have wanted me to wear this,” Ziggy said as she pulled at the leather collar around his neck, “or maybe he would have…you know Dillon and I’ve never really talked about it…of course we weren’t together then.”
“Together?” Summer said as she narrowed her eyes at Ziggy, “you and Dillon have always been together, best friends right?”
“Ah…that’s how it started but not so much with the “just friends” anymore,” Ziggy said as he looked over at Summer, half smiling.
“Oh…,”Summer said as she slumped onto her bed, shock giving way to disbelief on her face.
“Yeah…,” Ziggy just responded as he just stood there waiting for Summer respond.

“Want a Smoothie?” Ziggy asked as he held out a smoothie to Dillon.
“I’m understanding Venjix’s desire to just kill all the humans and be done with it more and more,” Dillon said darkly as he took the smoothie glass.
“Colonel Truman doesn’t want to give into your demands?” Ziggy asked as he poured his own smoothie.
“He doesn’t like the idea of answering to anyone and he really doesn’t want that person to be me or that I’ve ordered the military disbanded. He doesn’t get it that it’s not needed any more. I’ll protect the city,” Dillon said as he sipped at his glass.
“Gee I wonder why he doesn’t trust that you, the guy leading what’s left of Venjix’s army and the one that took the city from him…no I can’t think of a reason for him no to trust you Dillon,” Ziggy said with a smile.
“Funny Ziggy, Funny,” Dillon said as he drained his smoothie,” and how are the other rangers. Did you talk to her?” He spoke with a softer voice now, traces of feelings for his old teammates breaking through.
“As long as Scott wakes up it should be fine in time, you did break Flynn’s leg, twice and put Scott into the coma he needs to wake up from and yes I did your dirty work and told Summer about us, alone. And Doctor K may have some ideas about what happened, or is sounded that way,” Ziggy said as he finished off his own glass.
“After the weapons have been taken out and we can let them out of their rooms I’ll talk to her about it,” Dillon said as he stood up, “but it’s been a long day saving those humans for you. I think it’s time for some fun.” Dillon added as he grabbed Ziggy by the collar and pulled him into a kiss.
“Fun can be good,” Ziggy answered as the kiss ended and started backing toward the stairs.
The End
