Chapter Two

>>>>>>>>>>>>

"JACK!" Feeling an anguish she had never known before, Z sat on her knees as Sky took over feeling Jack's pulse, "Is he?"

"He's alive but his pulse is erratic, SPD we need and emergency teleport to medical!"

>>>>>>>>>

The rangers felt the tingle as they were spirited away from the battle field and found themselves in medical; Dr. Felix was waiting for them who looked like a humanoid tiger. "Quickly get him on the table."

His orderlies did as he asked, "I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

Z shook her head, "No I can't…" Tears began to fall down her face.

>>>>>>

Sky gently but forcefully propelled her out of the room and the rangers sat in the hall, "He's in good hands Z and Jack's a tough guy."

Commander Cruger then appeared along with Kat, "Any news?"

Sky shook his head, "Not yet sir."

Z felt like she was in another world and the sterile white walls of the halls did nothing to help. She stood up, "We need to hunt that monster down!"

Commander Cruger held up his hand, "You will do no such thing until we know how to deal with him, he has already injured and drained the power of one ranger, and I can't risk sending the rest of you out."

"That's right" Kat interjected, "surveillance is already going over the video but we know he was running out of energy and from previous records it'll be a few days before he regains full strength."

Just then Dr. Felix came out, "Well Doctor?" Commander Cruger asked.

"Cadet Landers has a concussion which will heal with proper rest, luckily his chest wound was nowhere near the heart but he'll have some bruising in that area and his ribs are bruised as well. He'll be weakened without his powers. If he had them he could probably heal faster."

"He'll be okay?" Z asked in a small voice.

"Yes but it will take time but he's unconscious right now and we've induced a coma state until his concussion heals, I don't want to take any chances I've heard stories about people who developed swelling of the brain. I'll let you see him in a few hours."

Cruger turned to them; "We should go to command and see what survellience has turned up, Cadet Delgado may I speak with you privately?"

He led her down the hall, "I know you want to be with Cadet Landers right now, and I know you are frightened and angry. But you must put aside your personal feelings for the moment."

"Yes sir." Z gave the SPD salute. As the two walked to command, Z felt her rage grow. Somehow she would make the energy drainer pay.

>>>>>>>>>>

High above Grumm paced in his throne room, "Mora any news?"

"We are sending some Krybots to another power plant while others pilot the robots Broodwing gave us; they will attack the city keeping those rangers distracted."

"How long until the energy drainer has power?"

"If everything goes to plan ten hours."

Grumm's evil laughter echoed throughout the spaceship once again.

>>>>>>>>>

An hour later Z was allowed into the medical bay but would only be allowed ten minutes, Jack had always been a fighter and even Dr. Felix was being amazed. Z sat next to him, "Hey handsome keep this up and you'll be out of here in no time." Already Jack's skin was getting its regular color back instead of being deathly pale. "Don't worry I'll make that monster pay."

Just then alarms rang out, "Rangers to command!"

"It figures" She muttered, Z bent down and pressed a quick kiss on his lips, "I'll be back and then when you're awake I can tell you." She kissed him again, "I love you."

Taking a brief look she hurried out of medical and headed for the command center.
