CHAPTER 5 Fights and Doctors

The rest of the day went by without any problems. Leila hung out with Conner, Kira, Trent, and Ethan all day, seeing as that she had classes with all of them. They were all walking out of school together after the final bell.

"You missed the shot Sunday, Conner, because you didn't get enough air to do whatever trick you do when you kick a soccer ball," Leila said.

"One time..I missed the shot one time and I get all this," Conner said.

"Dude, you're the one making a big deal about it," Ethan pointed out.

"Miss Omano," came a familiar cold voice. The group stopped and turned to see Principal Randall approaching them.

"I found a problem in your files. You're lacking the medical requirements necessary for you to continue school. I spoke with your mother and she made an appointment for you this afternoon. It's at this address and have the doctor fill out this form," Principal Randall said, handing her some papers. She glared at the rangers, then turned and walked away. Leila sighed.

"Great, just what I need with a pile of homework to do. Can one of you show me where this is?" Leila asked. Ethan glanced at the address.

"Yea, sure, I have to go to Dr. Hanna to get my allergy shots anyway," Ethan replied.

"Dr. Hanna? That reminds me, I have to drop off some insurance papers there too," Trent said. The group had made it out to the school parking lot by then.

"So are you guys going to make it to Hayley's at all today?" Kira asked.

"You won't be going anywhere," came another chilling, familiar voice. The group turned to see Zeltrax and a group of Tyranodrones.

"Don't these guys ever take a day off?" Conner asked.

"Would someone kindly tell me who these guys are?" Leila asked.

"ATTACK!!!" Zeltrax cried. The rangers and Leila got ready to fight. Conner and Trent both used their speed powers to take out as many Tyranodrones as they could. Leila used her ninja skills to add her share to the fight. Kira was having trouble with the Tyranodrones, so she started to do her Ptera cry, but Ethan covered her mouth at the last second.

"Not in front of Leila," he whispered. The two than teamed up and managed to fight off the drones more easily. Leila took out four Tyranodrones at once than saw Zeltrax approach her.

"Where do I know you from? Why is so much power radiating from you?" he demanded. Leila kept her cool.

"How do you talk without a mouth?" she asked bluntly. The question caught Zeltrax off guard. The next second, Leila saw him fall to the ground. She looked up to Dr. Oliver standing behind him in a fighting stance.

"You should be ashamed, Zeltrax. Interrupting these kids while they try to get an education," Dr. O said sarcastically. Leila rolled her eyes.

'Corny!' she thought. Zeltrax stumbled to his feet.

"I'm leaving. It'll give you time to work on your wit," Zeltrax said before he and all of the Tyranodrones disappeared. The teen rangers joined Dr. O and Leila.

"Friend of yours?" Leila asked sarcastically of Dr. O.

"Not really," he replied.

"Well, I'd love to stay and chat but, for some reason, my mother made my doctor's appointment for 3:30, so I'm already 5 minutes late," Leila said. Trent and Ethan retrieved their discarded backpacks and followed Leila.

"Bye guys," Ethan said.

"See you later," Trent said. A couple of hours later, Trent and Ethan had decided to wait on Leila and were getting bored waiting. She came out smiling, but rubbing her arm.

"What's wrong?" Ethan said.

"Nothing, I had to get a couple of shots and they drew some blood, so my arms sore," Leila explained.

"Are you ready to go?" Trent asked.

"I just have to wait on them to give me some papers. They said it shouldn't take too long," Leila explained. Meanwhile, in Dr. Hanna's office, Anton Mercer threw some money on the table and gently placed a brown paper bag on his desk.

"This goes against everything I believe in ethically," Dr. Hanna told Mercer.

"I don't have a right to know the truth?" Mercer questioned.

"Yes you do, but legally and ethically I SHOULD be telling the Omano girl what you're doing, as well as her mother," Dr. Hanna said. Mercer reached into his coat and threw some more money on the desk.

"But your not, are you?" he said seriously. Hanna looked from the money to Mercer.

"No, and I'll put a rush on it so you'll know by tomorrow," Hanna said.

"Thank you," Anton replied while getting up. Dr. Hanna got up and opened the door for him, only to be greeted by a waiting nurse.

"Dr. Hanna, Miss Omano needs you to sign this for her school records," she said. Dr. Hanna nervously grabbed the clipboard from her and signed his name. He handed it back to the nurse.

"Please don't make her wait any further," he said.

"Yes doctor," the nurse replied, rushing off. Dr. Hanna turned to Anton.

"Feel free to go out the back way," Dr. Hanna replied. A few minutes later, Trent, Ethan, and Leila were out of the office and walking across the parking lot.

"Hey, Leila, if you think about it tonight, ask your mom if she knows my dad," Trent said.

"Why would she do that?" Ethan asked.

"Well, you were there when I first met his dad. He went all weird after I told him my name, but he looked like he was going to faint or something when I told him my mom's name this morning," Leila explained.

"If I see him tonight I'll try and talk to him," Trent told Leila. While the two discussed plans to talk to their parents, Ethan noticed something across the parking lot. He saw Dr. Hanna and Anton Mercer talking and shaking hands before Dr. Hanna went back inside the office and Anton Mercer went to his car. Ethan watched as he drove out the opposite exit from where they were staying.

"Earth to Ethan," Leila said. Ethan snapped out of his trance.

"Huh?" he asked.

"Come on. I've got to get to work," Trent said. The three walked off towards Hayley's Café. The sighting of Anton Mercer did not leave Ethan's train of thought.

Okay, Leila's first encounter with the Tyranodrones and she, luckily, did not have to use her ninja powers. Not to say when she will end up using them. But how DOES Zeltrax know her? And what in the world was Anton Mercer asking Dr. Hanna to do? How will the conversations between him and Trent and Leila and her mom go? Okay, I PROMISE you will know the EXACT story of Leila and Anton Mercer within the next chapter or two, but in the meantime, when you guys review, please submit any guesses you might have. I want to see what you think. Please R&R. Thanks!
