Subject: Report on Simulated Rescue and Battle Mission

I was one of the last cadets to arrive at the training dome for my simulated mission. I apologize for being late. The Academy is a lot bigger than I thought it was at first, and I got a little lost.

During the briefing, I noticed that Chase, our Red Ranger for this simulation, seemed to lack the confidence and leadership abilities that one would expect in a Red Ranger. When he was given advice from a few of his subordinates, mainly Cadet Sky, and Cadet Kris Shumaker on which team the pair should be on. Instead he deliberately assigned them to separate teams which started an argument that a few other cadets got into. Which seemed a good idea to me, Kris seems to be self-centered and controlling. Later when Chase gave leadership of the rescue team to, Fenrir Lokison our Green Ranger. This only pushed Kris over the edge.

After that I was assigned to the rescue team along with Fenrir, Sky, Raden, Chris, and Johnny. For what I could still see Clark our Crimson Ranger disobeyed Chase’s orders, he deliberately went on ahead of the combat team and tried to take on a monster all by himself(a foolish and potentially fatal move in my opinion) forcing the remainder of the group to rush on in as well. After Clark defeated one monster he located two others for the rest of the team.

Fenrir again split the six of us up. He made Sky the leader of well that’s just call it Beta team, which myself and Raden where a member of. The three of us took a right while Fenrir and his team what left. After awhile Sky heard voice coming from a building up ahead.

He had asked fine any of us know if we could summon any Zord to help us get to the people at the top. Which we all learned that the simulation systems hadn’t been equipped with Zord summoning at the time. Sky was being a hard a**, had what on ahead leaving me and Raden to chase after him.

Once the two of us where in the building we couldn’t find Sky anyway, stupid air head couldn’t wait for the rest of us, were are a team. Anyway the two of us split up once again to find the remaining ten people that were trapped somewhere within the building. At the time the two of us believed that Sky had gone to the top several floors, so we split the remaining between us. I told the lobby and the first three floor while Raden took the forth to the seventh.

I wasn’t appeal to find anyone on my floors so I left the building to find Raden, Fenrir, and Kris standing around several people. I think there was six, when I got to where the other stood. Kris ordered that me and Raden stay behind while she and Fenrir go and help Sky. Which did not set right with me, Chase had made Fenrir the leader of rescue team not her.

The two of them left us behind again, while they run back to the building. It seems that time was moving slowly when Raden pointed out how weak the building seem to have become. I had turn to look at Raden for a moment to see that he had become sick, which I will not go into detail.

When I turned back to look at the building I see that it had started to fall, at about the same time, Chase and Johnny appeared. Chase took one look at us, and then run for the building. Crazy man I swear, it seemed to take forever for the building to collapse fully. Once the smoke and dust had cleared Fenrir, Sky and Kris along with several people come walking out of the remains of the building.

The five of us soon began to dig throw the rubble for any sign of Chase, once he was located Kris used some ability to remove the rest of the rubble from around him. Once the rubble was clear of Chase, I would have thought the exercise was finished. But the city and all that was within it disappeared leave us cadets to stand in a black room.

When the lights come back on, we got a shock. Standing in the center of the training dome with Thrax the son of Rita and Lord Zedd, which I’m sure you know this, but anyway. Aztec found the only way to do anything effective against him was to put himself at extreme risk and willing to take as much damage as we were hoping to do against Thrax. Specifically Aztec instructed the rest of us to fire at his discarded blaster and hope the explosion would defeat Thrax. But instead it nearly injured and disarmed him and demorphed Aztec himself. However I'll admit that Kris had lent me assistance by giving me an extra weapon and instructed everyone to fire at Thrax at once. Johnny and myself had successfully destroyed Thrax's staff, weakling him greatly. Thrax's counterattack was strong and Chase had to put up a barrier to protect everyone. Unfortunately Angelina and Aztec were injured from the explosion so they were slower in getting to Chase's barrier while Fenrir copied Aztec tactic of using a blaster as a bomb, this time triggered by Sky's lightning abilities. This didn't kill him but it stopped his big attack on us. Then after some more blaster fire, Kris decided to overload her fire abilities and try to take Thrax down in a self-destructing attack and Johnny and Fenrir used Thrax's broken staff to finally kill him. It turns out that Thrax was not meant to be the final boss of the simulation, it was supposed to be Goldar, a much easier opponent to defeat. It seems that for our first simulation, we did well considering we were up against one of the toughest enemies in the galaxy.

So my final analysis is that out of the teammates I saw in action, Angelina, Fenrir, Raden, Aztec, Johnny, and Sky did the best jobs out of all of us.
