02-samurai rangers and a wolf

Brooke walked down the streets of Panorama, people watching. She had no set destination, so she let her booted feet carry her down the now familiar streets. She usually trained in the mornings before Maxx left for school, and then after her brother left, she was left to her own devices. Brooke had graduated early- her junior year, cramming in summer classes and getting her credits and diploma quickly. She knew that once the nighlok attacks started to get more frequent, she wouldn't have time for high school anymore.

The lack of structure was freeing, but also a little strange. While Mary was her guardian, she knew that Brooke wasn't one to get into trouble. Well at least, not anymore. Stepping into an arcade, Brooke's grey eyes landed on a boy bent over one of the arcade machines, pressing buttons with skill. It was one of the people from yesterday when Brooke stepped in before the nighlok could- meaning that he was a ranger.

The green one, in fact, as Brooke concluded by the object connected to one of the belt loops of his black jeans. To a normal person, the zord could be seen as a keychain of sorts, but Brooke knew better, her eyes flashing gold as she subconsciously played with her zord in the pocket of her black cardigan, Brooke's zord being the wolf zord.

The other ranger had a zord, which had 木, which was the kanji for tree, on it in green. But why was he here, and not with the other rangers? Shrugging it off, Brooke tore her eyes away from the green ranger and pretended to be busy, pulling out her phone as two people strolled up to the green ranger. She guessed that the two were the green ranger's friends, but they weren't rangers. Being near other rangers always caused a strange feeling to envelop her, and the two didn't trigger that.

Brooke had come to the conclusion that other rangers lived in the city when she had found one of the sensors the team used to detect nighlok and connected her samuraizer to the system. Her samuraizer was now linked with the sensors, and every time they got triggered, her samuraizer beeped. She had a small map of Panorama on the device and the area where the nighlok was usually had a red dot on it, and Brooke prided herself on being much quicker than the other rangers, getting to the scene before they could.

Of course, her heightened senses helped as well. With Brooke's ability to shift, her human form had some animalistic characteristics as well. With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, it helped her locate the nighlok quicker. Every creature had a smell, and nighlok was no different. Even if normal humans couldn't smell it, Brooke could. Not that she really wanted to, it was a disgusting smell, a mix of death and rotten milk, but pros and cons. Her sense of hearing had some drawbacks as well, as it made her more susceptible to loud noises, and Brooke's helmet had extra padding around her ears to help combat the noises of battle. However, it did make eavesdropping easier.

Such as now, Brooke leaning against one of the far walls of the arcade, keeping one eye on the green ranger as she pretended to look busy on her phone. With very little difficulty she could hear across the small arcade, and that gave her the ability to look less suspicious. While it was a little loud, the green ranger's voice stood out against the rest. "Now that's what I call sensing an attack!" The green ranger cheered, and Brooke felt the corners of her lips twitch.

"Hey, Mike," The green ranger's- Mike's friend started, and Brooke glanced at him, putting a face to a name. Mike had brown hair which was spiked up, pierced ears, and green eyes with somewhat tanned skin. Quickly returning her gaze to her phone, Brooke pretended to look busy again. "What's with you? You're not a school, you're not a home, and you didn't even come to graduation." Mike's friend remarked, and the green ranger sighed.
