Tommy and the others all walked into the infirmary, as Eric softly laid Jen on the medical bed. She has several buries all over her body and a large cut on her head. The cut on her head all ready had been bandage up by Trey when he and the phantom ranger found her. According to the scan they ran over her she had no broken bones, but it did show a slight concussion.
"Will she be okay?" asked Eric softly looking at the others. They could all see the fear and concern in his eyes, even though he tried to hide it.
"Yes she should be fine, she is safe now. You must let her rest," said the phantom ranger looking at Eric, he nodded his head briefly and walked out without saying another word.
They all watched him leave the room. When he was out of sight Jason turned looking mainly at Tommy and Trey, Eric probably wouldn't know the answer to his question. "Does anyone know who he is?" asked Jason, he had head about the phantom ranger but never had meant him.
Tommy shook his head no; this was the first time he ever meant the phantom ranger. Trey stepped forward looking at the two veteran rangers.
Eric sat in a chair by Jen's side only half listening to the others. His concern was with Jen and for Wes where ever he was.
"His identity is unknown, it is believed only Zordon and a few others knew his true identity," he paused for a moment Jason and Tommy knew what the last part was. "But when Eltar was attacked they were killed, and Zordon was taken captive and you know the rest," said Trey sadly. They knew all to well the memory of Zordons death was still in their memories
Eric looks down at Jen; she looked so lifeless lying there. This was not the Jen he knew, no the Jen he knew would get right up and be ready for action. No matter how bad of condition she was in. Then a fear came over him, what if she did wake up. He knew she would ask for Wes right away. What was he going to tell her? He didn't know, he hated the emotion he was feeling. This wasn't him; he was the tough guy nothing gets by him. But that had all changed.
"She'll be okay, Jen's a fighter," said Jason, he gently placed his hand on Eric shoulder. Eric almost didn't hear him; he looked up nodding at him. He knew if anyone could pull through this it was Jen.
It was some type of torture chamber. He had been there for hours screaming out in pain as a whip slapped over his now bare back. The shirt he had been wearing was now torn and stained with blood. The alien laughed as he continued to slap Wes over and over again.
Wes cried out in pain, try as he might he couldn't get free. His arms and legs were chained down. Tears fell from his eyes, the pain was unbearable to handle. Suddenly the room grew silent as Kenar walked in. The alien that had been slapping Wes with the whip stopped as he looked at his master. The only sound that could be heard was whimpers from Wes.
"How is our prisoner, today?" Kenar laughed as he looked at Wes. Wes raised his head as far as he could, look at Kenar. Wes spitted at Kenar in disgust. Angry Kenar, looked at the alien standing by Wes side he gave a nod, and Wes got whacked over the head hard.
Wes groaned, he was in so much pain already that just made it worse. He was only dazed; Wes looked right at Kenar, laughing lightly. "Is that all you got," said Wes.
Kenar laughed, "You think you your so tough, let me let you on a little secret," Kenar leaned closer to Wes, grabbing a hold of his hair pulling it as far as he could. Wes tensed up, Kenar laughed. "I've killed rangers far younger then you, so don't think I won't spare you," said Kenar as he let go of Wes's hair, and Wes head dropped hard,
"What do you want?" asked Wes softly.
"What I want is the location, of where your friends are. Tell me and I'll let you live longer," said Kenar evilly.
"I'll never tell you," said Wes as he glanced right at Kenar, staring at him sternly. Kenar gave Wes a dark stare.
"I'm sorry you feel that way, cause if you don't tell me," he was looking Wes right in the eyes now. "I will destroy your home planet, earth and all that it inhabits," said Kenar darkly.
Wes's heart began to race fear, pain and anger. Kenar laughed he knew he would get the rangers attention. But Wes knew better, he shook his head no.
"No, I'll never tell you," said Wes.
Kenar got right into Wes's face. "Listen boy, I don't think you realize just how powerful I really am. I have a massive weapon, with the power to destroy planets with one blow," Kenar smiled. "Surely three lives are worth the price to save your earth," said Kenar.
Wes again shook his head. "No even if I did tell you, you'll still destroy earth," said Wes bravely. Kenar stepped away from Wes angrily.
"Very well, but in due time you will tell me," Kenar looked over to the torture alien. "Twenty more slash's and then take him to his prison," he yelled as he stormed out.
"With pleasure," said the alien as he began to slash Wes again. Wes again began to wince and cry out in pain, his back was already cut up badly.
The phantom ranger walked around in what looked to be some sort of resting room. There were couches, chairs and selves full of books. On the walls pictures hung on them. One picture got the phantom rangers attention; he slowly walked over to it to get a better look. It was of Andros, Zhane and the original space ranger team. He began moving his hand towards the picture like he was about to touch one of the faces, when..
"Hey, I could us some help putting the bombs together," Tommy called from outside the room. The phantom ranger turned looking over at Tommy.
"Sure," said the phantom ranger, Tommy nodded his head and then walked away heading towards the weapon room. The phantom ranger turned one last time looking at the picture and then left the room to help Tommy.
Jason and Trey watched Eric as he watched over Jen, like he was her brother or something. The room had been silent for sometime now, they all needed to rest. They would have to battle sooner than later. Jen's hand began to move, everyone looked to be on the edge of their seats as they watched her hand move slowly. Then she blinked her eyes a few time, until she fully opened them.
"Jen," said Eric softly looking at her, hoping she was okay. Jason and Trey walked up behind Eric looking down at Jen. Jen looked around, trying to figure out what happened and where she was. She stuff that looked to be medical, she began to sit herself up, until Eric lightly pushed her back down.
"Not, so fast Jen. You need to take it easy, you've been out cold for a while," said Eric looking at her.
Jen took a deep breath, as she looked him in the eyes. "The last thing I remember was the bomb going off," said Jen looking at the three.
"Yeah, we thought we lost you. It's good to have you back Jen," said Jason kindly.
"Yes, you are very lucky that the phantom ranger and I found you when we did," said Trey with a smile, he was glad to see she was fine. There was a short pause; Jen looked to be looking around for a particular someone. Eric felt his heart drop, he knew any second now Jen would ask.
"Where's Wes?" she asked thinking nothing of it, as she looked at the three but mainly Eric. All of their hearts began to sink. How were they supposed to tell her, her husband was missing? Jen knew the silence was not could, she could see the fear in their eyes. Tears began to form in her eyes, she had to ask again. "Where is he? TELL ME!" she cried. Eric took a deep breath.
"We don't know, he took off when we thought you were dead. We haven't been able to find any trace of him any where, and he doesn't have his morpher with him. He left it here," Eric couldn't stand to see the pain in her eyes. But he couldn't look away, she needed him. Jen then began to lose it she began to go into shock.
"No, no he can't be," she yelled. Eric grabbed a hold of her holding her in his arms. Jason and Trey both felt helpless; there was nothing more anyone could do.
Wes was thrown in his cold prison. Wes made a loud cry as his shoulder slammed against the wall. The alien laughed as he slammed the cell door shut. Wes lay on his chest barely moving his back was sore and the coldness was taking over his body and he began to shiver.
