It took longer than Kendall liked for the rocks to stop coming down, but eventually they did. She uncovered her head and quickly reached to her back, patting herself down not for injuries, but to make sure the energem was still tucked away safely. Unfortunately, she couldn't feel it. She pushed herself up into a seated position and searched the back of her pants, checking her pockets, reaching inside her pants but there was nothing there.

"Not for nothing," she muttered to herself as she pat the ground immediately around her. She didn't know where her cell phone had gone and that was her only source of light. Right now she was blind. "Please, don't let this be for nothing."

She pat the ground as far as she could reach, double, even triple checking every piece until she was sure there was no energem around her.

"Dammit!" she shouted, punching her fists into the ground and accidentally banging them on a sharp rock. It was then she became extremely away of the fact that she had been buried under what was surely tons of rock. She had lost the energem, but the fact that she was alive to be angry with herself about it was a miracle in itself.

"She said the dig site," Riley frowned, "You think she meant this one?"

Tyler parked his jeep as he and the Rangers hopped out, having a quick look around their usual site. Shelby nodded when she noticed the tent and a little ways from that was Kendall's truck.

"Yeah, right here," she nodded. "Ms. Morgan, you around?"

"Sound desperate," Koda pointed out as he held on tightly to his Dino Com. Kendall had called him and the Rangers demanding they join her at the dig site. The Rangers had heard the urgency in their voice and left their shifts in the cafe to reach her. However, there was no one around. "Trouble?"

"Big guy might be onto something," Chase nodded his head. "It's not like Kendall to wander off."

"Her tools are here," Tyler said after he finished inspecting her truck. "Packed up too. Looks like she was just about to head back."

"Maybe she's out of gas?" Shelby suggested before she noticed Koda starting to wonder, "Hey, where are you going?"

"Scent," Koda answered. The others looked to each other, then shrugged. Koda's senses were a lot more developed than theirs. If he ever said he heard, saw or smelled something, they had to believe him.

"Sometimes, he puts Rubic to shame," Riley teased as he and the others followed Koda away from the dig site. Suddenly, Koda started to run, prompting the Rangers to chase after him.

"What is it, Koda?"

"Fury," he growled and stopped directly in front of a pile of boulders. When the Rangers caught up to him, they weren't sure what to make of his discovery. Koda pointed, "We dig."

"For?"

"Hope Fury," Koda said. "Worried Kendall."

"You think Ms. Morgan's in there?" Riley frowned.

"There's not even a way in," Shelby shook her head. "How would she get under there? Why would she get under there?"

"Find out," Koda said and started to lift away some boulders. Tyler grabbed his arm quickly.

"Whoa, whoa. If someone is down there, just tossing rocks aside isn't going to help. What if we make this worse?"

"Worse how?" Shelby frowned. "This just looks like a pile of rocks to me."

"I move big rocks," Koda insisted. "You help or not?"

"I guess I won't have to go to the gym tonight," Chase shrugged his shoulders and carefully starting picking up some rocks from the pile and moving them away. Riley looked to the black Ranger quizzically.

"I've never seen you at the gym."

"Yeah, and after this, it's guaranteed you won't see me there tonight," Chase nodded.

-Dino-Charge-

Kendall knew she had bigger things to worry about than finding the energem. Getting out of the cave-in alive, for instance, should have been high on her list of priorities. However, there was no way for her to dig herself out. She had no idea how much rock was above her. If she moved even a single pebble, she risked burying herself even more. So she kept her mind focused on finding the energem to keep her distracted.

But no matter how hard she searched for it, it couldn't be found. Kendall wasn't sure how much time had passed, but she knew it had to be a while. She would start running low on air soon. In fact, she was already finding it a little harder to breathe.

"It must be down here," she whispered to herself, feeling the walls of her cave, imagining the energem was just on the other side. They were relatively strong. She wasn't worried about it being crushed by the weight, but if she doubted anyone being able to find her in time, she was sure no one would be able to find the tiny energem.

So it was up to her to try. It had to be near her. She couldn't have dropped it while running away. She took a risk, grabbing what felt like a loose rock and pulling it out. She thought she felt her little cave shift, but considering she was able to wonder whether or not she was still alive, she imagined she had survived.

"Careful," she told herself. "There's no rush. You'll find it when you find it. Simple as that."

She moved another rock and this time luck wasn't on her side. The rock, though it had been loose, had been supporting a bigger boulder. It came down. Kendall couldn't see where it had landed, but she could feel it. "Dammit!"

All things considered, she was lucky just the boulder had landed on her leg. She could have gotten herself killed. Then again, trapped like she was, a quick death seemed like the better choice. She had never imagined being buried alive, but she already knew she wasn't a fan. In a way, it seemed no matter what she did, she was dead anyways. Either she searched deeper for the energem and risked collapsing her little bubble, or she stay perfectly still until she ran out of air and suffocated.

"Fury can't get this energem," she told herself. She was pinned to the spot now that her leg was stuck under a boulder, but the wall was so close. She could reach out and pull on another loose rock. Dirt fell from above her, tricking her into thinking another boulder would fall and land on her head, but nothing of the sort happened. She was okay. She took a deep breath, taking a moment to plan her next move. She was dead anyway, but she still felt the need to be careful. Just in case.

Suddenly, more dirt started to fall on her. Dust filled up her little chamber, making it difficult to breathe. Kendall cursed her luck until she noticed a little light coming in from above. She screwed her eyes shut just as her name was called.

"I am never doubting that nose of yours again," she heard Shelby say just before she heard a loud grunt from Koda and suddenly the weight on her leg disappeared. Then she was pulled from her bubble and hugged tight.

"So scared," Koda said as he squeezed her. Kendall knew he was crushing her ribs, but it was her foot that hurt the most. When Koda tried to set her on her feet, she almost collapsed. He was fast enough to catch her and hold her up.

"That looks bad," Tyler said and pointed to her leg.

"What doing under rocks?" Koda asked her as he help her sit on the ground. Tyler grabbed her leg, lifting it up slightly as he looked at it while Riley headed towards the Jeep to grab the first aid kit. Kendall opened her eyes, slowly letting them adjust to the light again. She looked to the Rangers.

"There's an energem."

"Here?" Shelby frowned. "You mean you found one?"

"I had," Kendall nodded and heard Tyler hiss at her leg. She didn't need to ask him what he saw. She already knew it was bad.

"This Fury?" Koda asked her. "He hurt you?"

"He better not show his face around here again," Chase growled.

"We gotta get her back to the Jeep," Tyler said, looking to Koda. "She needs a doctor."

"There's an energem," Kendall shook her head and tried to get to her feet. She knew she needed to see a doctor, and she knew the sooner the better. But if they walked away, she would lose the energem for sure. "You need to keep digging..."

"No," Koda answered. "Help Kendall."

"I'm fine! But the energem..."

Koda wouldn't hear it. He lifted Kendall in his arms and started walking back to the Jeep. She sighed loudly.

"You're not listening to me! It's right there! I had it in my hand..."

"You were buried under rocks, Ms. Morgan," Shelby pointed out. "You're sure you didn't just dream it? You've scanned this site hundreds of times. We've dug around here dozens of times. There's no energems readings."

"But..."

"We'll get you clean up first."

Kendall rolled her eyes and looked up at Koda, "All the burgers you can eat if you put me down right now."

Koda shook his head.

"Burgers and sodas," she offered.

"Hospital. Doctor," Koda responded. He set her in the back of the Jeep. Kendall crossed her arms. Koda looked to her sadly then sighed.

"After doctor come back," he promised her. "Dig for energem. If make Kendall happy."

"We do it now, before Fury comes back," Kendall said. Chase shook his head.

"If he knows what's good for him, he won't come back."

Kendall groaned and leaned against the door of the Jeep, "Make friends," she rolled her eyes as Mrs. Fisher's words rang in her head, "They'll be good for you."

As Shelby buckled herself into the passenger seat, she overheard Kendall muttering to herself. She turned to Tyler, leaning in to whisper.

"Have the doctors check her head too."
