X.A.N.A.'s last attack Chapter 2: Recovery from the blast

Od and Jeremy stood there under the entrance of the tunnel, stunned at what had happened. "Do you think Ulrich and Yumi are okay?" Od asked in a very frightened tone of voice. "I don't know Od, I just don't know..." Jeremy said also frightened at what had happened. As the debris stopped falling, Jeremy started climbing up the ladder. "Come on Od, we have to see if they're okay." Od began climbing the ladder with the thought of his two friends on his mind. What if they're...? They can't be...
Jeremy struggled trying to open the trapdoor leading out of the tunnel. With Od's help they managed to open it though. As they climbed out of the tunnel they saw the damage the laser had done and were terror stricken. Rocks, trees and large chunks of earth lay strewn around the area where the laser had hit. Od gazed around but saw no sign of Ulrich or Yumi. Then they heard a groaning sound nearby "Yumi..." Od ran towards the noise and found Ulrich buried under a small pile of rubble. "Ulrich wake up!" Od yelled as he started to dig his friend out. Ulrich opened his eyes slowly and let out a groan. "Ow... my body feels all torn up. Wait! Where's Yumi?" asked Ulrich. "We haven't found her yet." Jeremy replied. Ulrich then stood up frantically. As the rubble fell off his body Od and Jeremy saw the extent of his injuries. His body was covered with gashes caused by the rocks ripping into him. "We have to find Yumi!" said Ulrich. The three friends began to search for Yumi by digging through the piles of rubble. As the search wore on Ulrich became more and more worried, as did Jeremy and Od. Then finally Jeremy shouted "I found her!" Od and Ulrich quickly rushed over to find Yumi in terrible shape. She had gashes all over her body and the ground was covered with her blood. Jeremy stood up and said "We need to get a stretcher so we can take her to the infirmary. It looks like some of her bones were broken by the blast." "We have to make one fast! X.A.N.A. could fire the laser again at any time!" said Od. The three friends wasted no time in making a stretcher for their injured companion. As soon as it was completed they rushed Yumi to the infirmary as fast as their legs could carry them. They dropped her off and then dashed back as quickly as possible. Ulrich thought to himself: X.A.N.A. will pay for what he did to Yumi; I'll make sure of it...
