CHAPTER 34 Aftershock
Rocky slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and saw that he was in a hospital room.
"About time man," he heard. He glanced over and saw Adam, Tommy, and Jason.
"What...what's going on?" Rocky asked.
"It's been a couple of days. People came to investigate the scene and found all of us," Adam asked.
"So they know?" Rocky asked. Jason and Tommy nodded.
"That's why we're all in a private wing," Jason explained.
"How...where are the others?" Rocky asked.
"Katherine, Kimberly, Aisha, and Hayley were the first ones to wake up. They've been discharged but can't leave the hospital yet because of all the media. Blake, Hunter, and Trent haven't woken up. Tori and Kira haven't left their side since they came to," Tommy explained.
"Cam, Ethan, and Billy are awake but are being checked constantly because they were thrown against something during the blast. The doctor said they should be fine but he doesn't want to take chances. Zack, Shane, Dustin, Conner, and Devin have been going to physical therapy for the last two days," Adam said.
"How's Dr. Mercer?" Rocky asked.
"Scared straight," Jason retorted.
"Wait, where's Leila?" Rocky asked. The others hesitated, looking sad at the same time.
"Guys?" Rocky asked.
"They haven't found Leila," Tommy said. Rocky was horror-struck.
"What do you mean they haven't found Leila? She was right in formation with us," Rocky said.
"No she wasn't. She ran into the energy ball when Bronchonaut showed up. She never came out," Tommy said, tearing up a little. All the guys were silent. It was hard enough going through Trini's death, they didn't know if they could take another one. Let alone what they would have to go through telling Trent and Hunter. Meanwhile, Kira and Tori watched over their guys.
"They look so peaceful. Hard to believe they could slip at moment," Kira said, a little horrified.
"At least we have them with us. There's no telling what happened to Leila," Tori said, before putting her hand around Blake's.
"How are we going to tell Hunter and Trent about this?" Kira asked. Tori didn't answer, but her eyes widened. She jerked her eyes from Kira to Blake.
"What is it, Tor?" she asked.
"He squeezed my hand," Tori said excitedly. She looked into Blake's eyes and saw them crack open a little. Tori smiled so wide, tears of happiness forming in her eyes.
"Doctor!" Kira cried, running out of the room, only running into Shane, Dustin, Cam, Conner, Ethan and Devin.
"Kira what is it?" Conner asked.
"Blake's awake. I'm going to go get a doctor," Kira said. Dustin, Cam, and Shane all gathered around Tori and Blake. Conner, Ethan, and Devin stood a little out of the way.
"Welcome back to the world of the living, dude," Dustin said.
"Yea, you had us a little worried," Shane said. Blake could only crack a small smile, still having a tube in his mouth. He looked over to his left to the bed next to him. Trent was on his right, so the others knew Blake wanted to know how Hunter was.
"He's not awake yet, Blake. He and Trent are the only ones of us not out of it yet," Cam said. Tori leaned in and caressed Blake's hand.
"We haven't found Leila, Blake. We're really getting worried," Tori said. Blake squeezed her hand. The others saw the fear in his eyes as he looked from Hunter over to Trent. Their Dino Thunder comrades were worried too.
"Have they found anything?" Devin asked.
"No, it's like she completely disappeared," Ethan said. Kira came in with a couple of doctors and some nurses. Conner, Ethan, and Devin glanced over at Trent's bed as the doctors checked on Blake. If it wasn't for all the tubes coming out of him, he would look peaceful. But Trent was in fact somewhere that was scaring him.
"Hey, guys, anybody?" he called. He was an all white room with several doors.
"Where am I?" he asked himself. Suddenly, one of the doors opened and Trent turned in a defensive stance towards the noise. He relaxed when he saw Hunter.
"Trent? Man, where are we?" Hunter asked.
"I wish I knew," Trent said.
"You're in your own minds," came a voice. Hunter and Trent both turned towards the voice.
"HA!" they cried, posing in defensive stances. They both looked completely shocked when they saw not only the voice, but the body and several others. Right before their eyes were the spirits of their parents.
"Mom, dad," Trent whispered in disbelief.
"I can't believe this," Hunter said.
"Believe it son. Through ninja magic, you two have entered into a state of being that can only happen in the unconscious mind. Your mind frames were connected and thus, the two of you have both ended up here," Hunter's dad explained.
"So, we aren't dead?" Trent asked.
"No, son," his mom replied. Trent and Hunter both sighed in relief.
"But why are we here?" Hunter asked.
"You're here because the two of you must here a message from Leila," Hunter's mom said.
"Leila? You know about Leila?" Trent asked.
"Yes son, and we've son what a good brother you've been to her. She needs the both of you right now as your teammates and certain young ladies do now," Trent's dad said. Trent blushed a little, knowing his dad meant Kira.
"We must go now," Hunter's dad said.
"No, please don't," the boys pleaded.
"We'll always be with you," Hunter's mom said reassuringly.
"Watching over you," Trent's dad said.
"We love you, always," Trent's mom said, before their spirits disappearing.
"Trent? Hunter?" came a familiar voice. The boys turned to see Leila, wearing a flowing white dress, showing off her figure and her hair straight down.
"Leila, what's going?" Trent asked.
"The plan, it worked," Leila said. Hunter and Trent smiled.
"But that's good, isn't it?" Hunter asked.
"Of course it is, but the energy blast sent all of us flying all over the place. It took five hours to find all of you because you were so spread out. But they haven't found me yet," Leila explained.
"What do you mean? You were right there with us," Trent said. Leila looked down then looked at her brother and boyfriend.
"I ran into the energy ball when I released my powers. The only reason I know I'm alive is because when Zordon released his spirit, he surrounded me and protected me. I don't know where I am but I really NEED you guys right now. You need to wake up and help the others find me. I know I won't make it much longer unless I'm found and my grandfather can put ninja healing powers over me," Leila said. Trent and Hunter looked at each, worried. They were having a hard time taking in what she was saying.
"We'll do what we can Leila," Trent said reassuringly, giving her a hug. He let her go and let Hunter have his turn. He had to look away when Hunter leaned in and gave Leila a soft kiss.
"We'll get you back," Hunter whispered to her.
"You two need to wake up now. The spell is almost out," Leila said. She disappeared and the boys noticed the doors were disappearing too.
"See you in a few?" Hunter asked, a little jokingly, putting his hand out for Trent to shake. Trent shook it.
"Yea, I hope," Trent said. A little overcame them and they had to close their eyes to not be blinded. When they started to open their eyes, they both noticed they were in a hospital room.
"Trent?" came a female voice. Trent looked over and smiled when he saw Kira.
"Welcome back Hunter," Dustin said when he saw that his comrade was awake. The first step had been taken, but the guys knew they had to get better fast in order to find Leila.
How's that? Will the guys find Leila? WHERE is she? Find out all this and more in Chapter 35. PLEASE R&R. (
