While Kendall, Jeremy, Chase and Koda were searching the school for Cammy, Ivan and the other Rangers were in charge of the evacuation. The Rangers were certain that an alien showing up at Cammy's school meant the little girl was their target, but just to be safe, they needed to be sure the rest of the students and staff were out of harm's way. They didn't want to lose a life due to oversight.

They were clearing out classrooms one by one, each time asking the teacher or adult in the room if all students were accounted for. Until now, the answer was always yes. It seemed in the chaos, teachers and staff had managed to gather up all the students in their care into a single room and keep Wrench out. However, one teacher shook her head no, and looked to the Rangers with some disappointment.

"I have one student, Camille. She made a run for it," the teacher pointed to the door.

"And you let her go?" Shelby as the pink Ranger asked.

"She was nothing but trouble," Mrs. White said and Ivan remembered his conversation with Kendall. She had been upset about leaving Cammy at school because her new teacher had written her off, claiming that because she had spent some time in foster care she wasn't worth the same effort as the rest of the students in her class.

"So you're the filthy wretch that doubted Cammy," he said, forgetting for a moment that he was the gold Ranger, and his connection to Cammy was supposed to remain a secret. Still, when that thought occurred to him, it didn't matter. Cammy was as much a part of his clan of Rangers as any of the actual Rangers. He would be loyal to her to the end.

"You know Camille?" Mrs. White asked, looking to the Rangers with a bit of surprise.

"Gold," Tyler put his hand on Ivan's shoulder and tried to rein him in a bit before Ivan said too much, but the Knight shrugged him off and looked through his helmet at Cammy's teacher.

"Indeed, I know young Cammy. We have all had our run ins with the youngling. In fact, she has helped us many a times in our quest to protect this planet."

"Camille? The foster kid."

"Hey, she's a lot more than just that," Shelby stated, glaring through her helmet. "She's a really sweet kid."

"Sharp, too," Riley added.

Ivan leaned in closer to Mrs. White, "Cammy is a good child. And if I hear you're treating her any differently, I will be sure to report you to your highest authority and have you removed from your position as an educator."

"Or we'll just make this one of the toughest years of your career," Tyler shrugged, thinking it was probably best the Rangers didn't storm into the school board on Cammy's behalf. It was bad enough Cammy's connection to them had been revealed to her teacher and the students. They didn't need more people knowing and having more attention put on Cammy. Fortunately, Riley was of the same mind, and he turned to the kids in the class, kneeling down so he was at eye level with all the students he could see.

"Hey, but this has to be our little secret, alright," he said and saw most of them nodding. It was most likely out of fear, and he and the Rangers had to expect that most of them would tell their parents about the Rangers. He just hoped that they would be so excited that the Rangers spoke to them; they would neglect to mention that it was on Cammy's behalf. "We're going to keep you all safe, we promise, but to do that, we need your help. No one can know you know us, alright. If the bad guys find out, they might come back. We don't want that, do we?"

Again the students were nodding their heads and Riley and the Rangers had to trust in them that their secret was safe.

Ivan turned to Mrs. White one last time, "Have we reached an understanding?"

"This is too much for me," Mrs. White shook her head. "I am getting way too old for this."

"But have we..."

"Yeah, yeah, sure," Mrs. White said. Ivan gestured to the door.

"Escort the rest of these children away from the school. Ensure they are returned safely to their homes. We'll continue our evacuation of the school."

Mrs. White nodded and following their instructions helped the rest of the students get out of the building safely. Once they were gone, Tyler turned to Ivan.

"When we're in suits, we can't prioritize Cammy," he said. "The best way to keep her safe is to keep her out of this Ranger stuff as much as possible. If people find out..."

"Cammy is a good child," Ivan said. "This is her first day and she's already been placed in the care of a woman who shows her no faith. Part of my duty as a Ranger may be anonymity, but my loyalty to my friends is above all."

"Besides," Shelby added, "You heard what that teacher said. Cammy took off, and it looks like she did nothing to stop her. I'd have wrung her neck."

"What's done is done," Riley stepped in, looking to his teammates. "Right now, we need to focus on getting the rest of the students out of here. If Cammy took off, she's alone. And I'm assuming that, like me, you all want to make sure she's okay."

-Dino-Charge-

Koda slapped Chase's hand away and growled. After his fight with Wrench, Koda had emerged the winner. Had it not been for Heckyl's interference, and with a little help from his teammates, Wrench could have been destroyed. However, it wasn't without cost. As a result of him blindly attacking Wrench to protect Cammy, Koda had taken a few hard hits. He was bruised up and had several cuts. None were too serious since he had been morphed and so the suit took most of the damage. Still, he needed to be cleaned up.

Generally, Kendall was the one who took care of Koda. She was the first person he trusted and by the time the others joined, Kendall was the best at treating his wounds without much pain. He trusted her hands, she was always gentle, and she always warned him when his treatment might sting a little. To Chase's credit, he was gentle too, but since Koda was still a little riled up from the fight, Chase wasn't good enough.

"I know, mate. This stuff always stings. But if you want to avoid an infection, you've got to let me clean these out."

"Hurt too much," Koda said. "Can't be good."

"I know. And I get it, mate. I'd rather have Kendall here too, but..."

"Understand," Koda nodded glumly.

"The sooner we get cleaned up, the sooner we can go see her," Chase promised the blue Ranger, then held up the bottle of rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. "Think you can suck it up?"

Koda nodded and puffed his chest, trying to appear brave. Chase couldn't help but chuckle when, once he started cleaning Koda's wounds, the caveman's chest deflated and he cried out softly.

"Ouch. That still hurt."

"I'm really sorry, mate," Chase smirked and Koda frowned.

"It's not funny. That is angry fluff."

-Dino-Charge-

Cammy's eyes fluttered open slowly. First, she thought she was dead. All she could remember from before passing out was a lot of blood – her blood. Then she remembered Wrench, she remembered being face to face with him and cutting herself on his axe. For sure, she had to be dead.

But then she remembered Jeremy and Kendall showing up. Both promised she would be okay and that she was safe. They wouldn't lie to her. She had to be alive, right?

She blinked as her eyes started to focus a little more. The blurriness of her vision faded and she found herself looking up at a white ceiling. She glanced around a little more and saw an arm draped across her body, resting ever so gently, yet protectively over her arm, which was wrapped up and held close to her own body by a sling. Following the arm up, Cammy breathed a little sigh of relief to see it belonged to Kendall. Her older sister was lying next to her on the bed, her arms wrapped around her, keeping her safe even in the hospital.

"Kendall," she whispered to wake her sister, but was suddenly hushed gently. Looking to the source of the noise, she saw Jeremy getting up from a chair across the room and coming over.

"You're okay, Cam. And Kendall's just fine too. But don't wake her up."

"But, but..."

"Cammy, you're okay," Jeremy promised her again, this time with a bright, confident smile. "Your cut feels worse than it is. You'll be home tonight. You're okay."

"But I want Kendall."

"I just got her to sleep," Jeremy shook his head. "You really scared her, Cam. What were you doing alone in the halls?"

"Wrench was in school," Cammy said. She figured her brother knew that. He had showed up when Wrench attacked her. "I... I thought he was coming for me."

"So you run away?"

"I... I didn't want anyone to get hurt," Cammy said. "Mrs. White didn't believe me when I said he was walking into school, and then didn't try to help me keep the other kids safe. She's been mean to be all day, and I've been trying my very best."

"Kendall explained that part," Jeremy nodded. "I'm really sorry about that, Cammy. But still, what drove you to run off like that alone?"

"If Wrench found me, other people might get hurt," Cammy said. "I had to hide the best to keep them safe, but there was nowhere good to hide."

"You were keeping the other kids safe?" Jeremy's heart warmed a little hearing this, even if he was enraged that Cammy felt that responsibility fell on her. He knew it wasn't completely the teacher's fault. Cammy knew about Wrench and the aliens because of her connection to the Rangers. Instinctively, she would have stepped up. However, with a teacher in the room, Cammy shouldn't have been alone. Her teacher should have taken control. "You're a brave kid. And for the record, everyone got out of the school safely. You did your job well."

Cammy smiled a little. At least her plan had worked, even if it didn't go as she imagined. Jeremy pulled his chair closer to her bed and then checked to make sure Kendall was really asleep before he leaned in to ask his next question.

"Why was Wrench coming after you?"

Cammy didn't answer with words, but rather turned her head to look at Kendall for a minute. Jeremy clenched his fists.

"What did he want with her?"

"He said he wanted to pick her brain."

Jeremy sighed as he put his head in his hands. Tears welled up in Cammy's eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"No," he looked to his littlest sister, shaking his head. "No, Cammy, I'm not mad at you. You did great. You were brave, you did well. I'm so proud of you. I just..."

"Kendall?" Cammy asked and Jeremy nodded.

"Do you ever worry about her?"

Cammy looked to her brother as though he had just asked her the world's stupidest question, which, in a way, he had. Cammy had only recently stolen two energems from the Rangers on a promise that Kendall would be safe. Clearly, she worried greatly.

"Right, you know that I mean," Jeremy said and he took his energem out from under his shirt and looked to it. "Cammy, I stayed in town because I wanted to stay close to Kendall. I wanted to be there to help her, to look after her. All I could think of, right before my energem chose me, was how badly I wanted to keep her safe. That can't be a coincidence, can it?"

"Energems pick good people," Cammy explained to her brother. "It's good you want to protect her."

"Don't you think there's a reason it chose me, though? I mean, this energem waited what, 65 million years before choosing to bond to someone."

"That doesn't mean it wanted you to protect Kendall," Cammy said, though her voice cracked a little, showing she wasn't sure of her statement.

"Heckyl's got this strange obsession with her, doesn't he?" Jeremy said. "Just now, Wrench attacked you to get to her."

"Kendall is a Ranger and she makes the chargers."

"No Kendall, no chargers," Jeremy said. "No chargers, and the Rangers are in some serious trouble."

"You think they figured that out?"

"I think we would have really underestimated Heckyl if we think he hasn't," Jeremy said just before noticing the look of fear on his little sister's face and it occurred to him just how terrifying a thought like that would be on a regular day. Never mind what must have been flooding Cammy's mind right after being attacked by Wrench. "Hey, Cam, I'm really sorry. I don't want you thinking something's going to happen to her, alright? She's tough, you know. She can look after herself. And she's got all of us when she needs it. There's ten of us, remember. We're keeping each other safe."

Cammy shook her head and turned into Kendall, pushing in closer to her sister and waking her up. Kendall's eyes opened and feeling Cammy needed her, she immediately started to worry.

"Cammy, your arm. Is it okay? How are you feeling?"

Cammy only snuggled in closer to her sister. Kendall adjusted the little girl's arm so it would be comfortable and so Cammy wouldn't accidentally pull the stitches and then turned to her brother.

"We're just worried about you," he told Kendall. "Wrench wanted you."

"He didn't get me."

"Just... be careful, Kendall," Jeremy begged her. "Please, please, watch your back."
