Day three came by and Dusty still hadn't woken up. I was starting to pine for him. Blade was the first to notice when I refused breakfast and instead sat outside all on my own staring into the distance. I would have sat there all day except that Maru wanted to check Blade's and my wounds.

"Sit still Belinda" complained Maru as I wriggled again. He was trying to make sure that I hadn't gotten any infections.

"I'm fine Maru" I grumbled in annoyance. He finally finished and let me go.

"Okay your turn Blade" Maru said as he turned to poor Blade. Nick snickered when Maru made Blade sit still while he sanded and repainted his left flank. Blade looked very relived once Maru was finished with him. Once Maru was done he went back to work on Dusty.

"Don't worry Belinda" said Blade to we. "Maru will make him better than new."

"I know Blade" I answered. "It's just that I'm starting to miss seeing his cheerful face. I don't know what I'll do if I lost him."

"You two share quite a bond" said Blade with a nod. "Like I said 'don't worry' Dusty will pull through this. You'll see." I turn and gave Blade a warming smile. Even though I had only known him for a few weeks I was starting to see the other side of Blade. Even though he was stern on the outside he really had a soft spot on the inside.

"Thanks Blade. It means a lot to me" I said with a smile. I couldn't help but laugh when Falco decided to land on top of Blade's rotor assembly, almost making him jump out of his paint job. Nick was laughing at Blade's astonished face from where he was sitting with Windlifter.

"He like you" I said once I had stopped laughing while Falco bobbed his head up and down.

"I guess" chuckled Blade before the quiet of the base was shattered by a voice shouting.

"BLADE!" Whipping around we both saw Cad entering that base. Blade growled in irritation before going off to meet him down on the runway, Falco flying off his rotors and onto a hangar roof. Both Blade and Cad were glaring at each other.

"What do you want?" Blade growled. He was clearly annoyed and I was also starting to get agitated already.

"You got a lot of nerve, Ranger." Cad growled. "What lies did you tell that stupid TMST agent and the Secretary of the Interior, huh?" I couldn't believe it. Lies? Oh Cad was so going to get it.

"Lies?" Blade scoffed "What about you messing with the water line. Do you know that the entire park could have burnt down."

"If you had been doing your jobs right the fire wouldn't have gotten so bad!" Cad shouted back at Blade. That was the last straw I thought as I started to walk over to Blade.

""Do you have any idea what you did?" Blade countered in anger.

"I did your jobs" Cad huffed. "Been the hero and saved the lodge."

"You haven't been anything" I shouted as I came up beside Blade. "You don't even know what the word means? A true hero is willing to lay down their life for others."

"Keep out of this" Cad snapped at me. "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Blade, now buzz off."

BAM!

"OUCH!" Cad rolled back blinking to clear his vision. A dent was in his right side from where I had suddenly kicked him. Walking up I glared a Cad out of pure anger.

"Now you listen here." I growled as Cad tried not to look scared. "I don't give a dame for your pile of kindling but don't you dare say that to me or anyone clear." I subconsciously didn't realise that my coat was starting to change but the rest of the crew did.

"Like I said 'stay out of it'" Cad tried to counter my attack. "It's the chief's fault that the park nearly burnt down." That was it. My anger snapped and I lunched forward at Cad, my wings, main and tail turning to flames. My coat had gone from its lovely patched patterns to black and my hooves had gone read hot. Cad was frozen to the ground or he seemed to be.

"Now listen closely" I growled while my eyes flashed red. "If the wasn't any laws against killing you then I would tear you apart and feed you to the birds of the air. You would beg for mercy but I would be deaf to the word. I will have no mercy for you. Now GET of the this base before I TEAR YOU APART ." I watched as Cad suddenly shot backwards away from me before pausing. I took a step forward and that caused Cad to panic.

"DEMON HORSE, DEMON HORSE" screamed Cad as he turned around and bolted going even faster when I reared you letting out a triumphant scream before dropping back onto all fours, my coat going back to normal. I shook my head and turned around to see the entire base in stunned silence, while the male smokejumpers had their jaws dropped.

"Sorry about that" I said, grinning sheepishly, snapping them out of their stunned state. "Couldn't help myself."

"You kidding?" Blade laughed. "I didn't even see that coming."

"How did you suddenly flame up like that?" asked Blackout.

"Don't know exactly." I answered.

"It was so cool." Drip said excitedly.

"You had him on the run" chuckled Nick to me.

"SCARY!" Avalanche agreed.

"I don't think that we will see him again" chuffed Cabbie.

"Good riddance." Blade huffed. I chuckled before smirking.

"Do you think that anyone would believe him?" I asked before we all laughed again.

A/N: sorry that this took so long. I was very busy with other things and i kept forgetting to put it up. Well enjoy.
