CHAPTER 35 Two More Friends
"So we know Leila is alive, but that doesn't put us any closer to finding her," Billy said. A few hours had passed since Trent and Hunter had woken up. The doctors had monitored them for a few hours, watching their health improved. The other rangers were overjoyed to have them back with them, none more so than Kira, Blake, and their respective ranger teammates. They had gathered in a large lounge that was a part of their private wing. Hunter and Trent had explained their mysterious mental encounter with their deceased parents and Leila. Blake had snuck out shortly after to the Thunder Academy to get Sensei Omano.
"Is there any ninja trick that can track down a person?" Zack asked of the storm rangers.
"None that we know of," Shane said.
"We can get there fast once we know where a person is. It's just a trick to find them," Tori explained.
"Hey guys," Blake said, walking through the door with Sensei Omano right behind them.
"Where's Laura and LeeAnn?" Cam asked.
"I left LeeAnn to run the academy and for her own sanity, I insisted Laura stay with her. Where is Anton?" Sensei Omano asked.
"He's using his business position to use any sources necessary to find Leila. For now, that's actually helpful," Trent explained.
"Well what do we do for now?" Devin asked.
"All we have is the fight scene to go on," Dustin said.
"And that's exactly where we're going to go," Tommy said.
"And exactly how do you plan on getting there through the media?" Aisha asked.
"We'll all pair off and sneak out. Everybody knows where the fight site is, just get there as soon as possible," Tommy said.
"What about Hayley?" Kimberly asked.
"Leave her be. We'll need her help soon enough. Just let her run the Cyber Café," Tommy said. The rangers quickly discussed a plan of action. Zack, Billy, Ethan, Conner, and Cam snuck out first. Jason, Tommy, Rocky, and Adam went next. Devin, Dustin, and Shane followed next. Katherine, Kimberly, and Aisha were next. Kira, Trent, Tori, Blake, Hunter and Sensei Omano were last. Meanwhile, doctors were examining the mysterious girl who had been brought in. They had heard about the explosion in the nearby town Reefside but were skeptical about piecing her to it.
"Do you really think the explosion could have carried her this far?" one doctor asked of another.
"I don't know but this makes me even more suspicious," said the other doctor. He dug into the bag that contained Leila's personal belongings. He brought out her morpher and showed it to her colleague.
"I'll give them a call," the other doctor said. The second doctor, whose tag read Dr. Harding, grabbed the bag and walked down the echoing hallway. He walked into a private hospital room where Leila was hooked up to one tube after another. He placed the bag of her belongings on a chair and walked over to her bedside. He sided as he saw the young girl there.
"Who are you?" he asked curiously. Back at Reefside, all the rangers had made their way back to the fight scene. Any cops who were on guard let them through, knowing how much the rangers had done for them. They spread out as far as they could without losing sight of each other.
"What do you think will happen if we can't find Leila?" Katherine asked of her fellow veteran females.
"Hope that she's alive," Kimberly said.
"And happy wherever she is. For her sake and Trent and Hunter's," Aisha said as she continued to turn over branches for any clues that might lead them to Leila.
"AHHHH!!!" Shane cried, knocking down debris in frustration.
"Dude, Shane, calm down," Dustin said to his friend.
"This isn't fair. What did any of us do to deserve losing a friend like Leila? And what did Leila do to deserve this?" Shane asked.
"Dude, remember what Hunter and Trent said, Leila is STILL alive. We just have to work fast in order to make sure she STAYS that way," Dustin said. Shane sighed.
"Sorry man," Shane said.
"Don't worry about it, bro. We're all worried about Leila, we just have to work to make sure she's alive the next time we see her," Dustin said. Shane nodded in agreement and the two of them turn back to working. Tommy let out a small scream of frustration.
"You okay Dr. Oliver?" said a familiar voice. Tommy looked over and saw Trent.
"I'm as good as I can be. How are you though?" Tommy asked. Trent sighed.
"I'm still worried and anxious, but I hugged Leila wherever we were so I'm little more reassured by that," Trent explained.
"How's he doing?" Tommy asked. Trent looked over and saw Hunter whacking through some bushes. Trent sighed.
"I'm not sure. As good of a friend Hunter has become and no matter how close I get to Leila, I don't think I'll ever understand how much they love each other," Trent said. Tommy smirked and glanced one way.
"Don't bet on it," Tommy said. Trent looked over where Tommy had glanced and saw Kira searching through tree debris. She looked up and wiped her brow, locking eyes with Trent. She smiled softly at him. Trent smiled back at her and turned to Dr. Oliver.
"I should know better than to try be philosophical with my teacher and the most experienced ranger on Earth," Trent said sarcastically. Tommy laughed and the two men go back to work.
Back at the hospital, Dr. Harding was explaining his theories to the two men called into the hospital. The other was checking Leila's fingerprints and blood type in a specialized computer.
"The news report said that several rangers were involved in creating the explosion. We were skeptical in believing that she could have been carried this far but I'm up to believing it based on this alone," Dr. Harding explained, handing the officer Leila's morpher. The officer looked it over as a beep came up on his partner's computer.
"Got it. Leila Omano, currently resides in Reefside with her mother. She's a student at Reefside High. Before moving to Reefside, she lived with her mom and aunt at her grandfather's school, near Blue Bay Harbor," he read.
"Wes, isn't Reefside where Tommy lives now?" Eric asked.
"Yea, and I'll bet he was one of the ones involved in creating the explosion," Wes said.
"Looks like we're going to Reefside. It'll be quicker than calling," Eric said. Wes closed his computer and followed his partner. Hours passed, and the rangers were at a dead end.
"NOTHING!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!" Jason screamed. The rangers who weren't saddened by the lack of discoveries were highly upset.
"This day can't get any worse," Blake declared. Suddenly, Tyranodrones appeared, along with Elsa and Zeltrax.
"Mesagog and Bronchonaut MAY be gone," Elsa said.
"But we're still here," Zeltrax finished. Zack looked over at Blake.
"You were saying," he said sarcastically.
"What are we supposed to do? Our powers are gone and we're all too weak to hold up a good fight," Ethan said.
"How about a little backup?" came a voice behind the Tyranodrones. The Tyranodrones, Elsa, and Zeltrax all looked behind them. The rangers looked up. Tommy and Jason smirked.
"Eric," Tommy said.
"Wes," said Jason.
"Time for Time Force!" Wes cried.
"Quantum Power!" cried Eric. Red lights illuminated the two former rangers and it died down to reveal them donning their familiar Time Force Suits.
"It's good to be back," Wes said as they stared down the Tyranodrones with no fear.
HA HA!! Two more rangers. Will they take care of the Tyranodrones in time? Will they get to Leila in time? What will happen after all of this? Please find out in Chapter 36. PLEASE R&R.
