Ch. 2- Where Are We, Correction When Are We?
The rangers fell screaming and yelling through the time portal. The crashed into the hard snowy ground unmorphed, or in the pink and red rangers' cases the icy swollen river. Bridge sat up with a groan and quickly checked himself over for any injuries.
"Z! Sky! Syd! Where are you?" he cried standing up and brushing as best as he could the snow off his pajamas.
"Not so loud Bridge," said Z rubbing her head as she came over a mound of snow where she had landed. Bridge ran over and hugged her; Z hugged him back before asking, "Are my pupils dilated?"
Bridge looked at Z's eyes and then after a moment said,
"Each beautiful brown orb is fine."
Z blushed and said,
"Where are Syd and Sky?"
Bridge and Z looked around frantically for their friends.
"There in the water!" exclaimed Bridge as he saw Sky frantically paddling toward a large rock that was in the middle of the swollen river and Sydney trying to keep her head out of the water as the rushing river swept and pummeled her tiny body down the river. Sky latched onto the rock with one arm and snagged Sydney's right ankle as the river swept her by him, unfortunately, his quick motion caused the poor girl's body to slam against the rock, she cried out in pain.
"Syd!" Sky cried. "Hang on, I've got you!" Sky slowly moved his grip up her leg until he was able to get a secure hold on the waistband of her thin pajama pants, then he drew her in and Sydney latched her arms tightly around his neck and legs around his waist.
"Are you okay?" he asked the shivering pink ranger who clung to his front.
"Fine, just freezing cold," Sydney barely managed out though her chattering teeth. With one hand Sky pushed a clump of her wet blonde hair off her forehead and out of her face, he studied her big blue eyes for signs of a concussion, seeing none he kissed her on the forehead and pulled her closer to his chest.
"I know," said Sky. "Me too. Now let me figure how to get us out of this icy water."
"Bridge! Z!" Sky yelled over the roar of the river as a forceful wave of water slammed into Sky and Sydney slamming them into the rock they were clinging to, Sydney cried out in pain. "Bridge do you see that long plank of wood, the one that is part of that fence over there?"
"This one?" yelled Bridge as he and Z lifted the fence railing from the posts and made their way over to the rivers edge.
"Yeah," said Sky. "Feed it out us. Syd, babe, I want you to switch on to my back." Sydney reattached herself in the exact same position as before but to Sky's back instead. Sky grabbed hold of the fence railing. "Bridge! Z! I want you guys to retract the rail while I pull us in. Syd is shaking like crazy and I don't know how much longer she can hold on." Sky let go of the rock and clung to the rail with both hands, then slowly started to haul himself and Sydney toward the riverbank, moving his hands one over the other as Bridge and Z moved backward pulling the rail with them.
Finally, Sky and Sydney reached the bank of the river, they collapsed in the snow exhausted, soaked to the bone, and their wet pajamas clung to them like a second skin. Bridge and Z ran over to them.
"Are you two okay?" asked Z them.
"We're fine," said Sky. "Just cold and shaken, and probably bruised."
"Stop being so macho Sky," chattered Sydney as she huddled against Sky. "You are s-s-s-sh-h-hiver-r-ring just as bad as I am Sky."
"You both are freezing," said Z, then looking Sky in the eye said, "Just because you are our leader and you are a guy, do not hide the fact that you are freezing, aching, weak, and feeling exhausted. We are all cold, what we need to do is to figure out where we are, --"
"Don't you mean when we are?" interrupted Bridge. "I mean for all we know we could be in the middle ages."
"That too," said Z. "But continuing what I was saying, is that we need to find a shelter that is preferably warm and dry."
"A-a-agr-r-r-eed," chattered Sky from his huddled position in the snow.
"Now I think that I saw some tracks over by the fence when took the railing. It is probably in our best interest to follow those tracks," said Z.
"W-wh-hat t-t-type of t-t-t-tracks w-w-w-were they?" asked Sydney pulling her body closer to Sky's for warmth.
"Human," said Z. "I saw the shoe marks."
"Then let's go," said Sky mustering up all his strength to sound strong. Bridge pulled Sky and Syd up to their feet where Sydney promptly collapsed back to the snow, her strength to stand zapped. Bridge picked her up and held her bridal style. Z took Sky's right arm and draped it around her shoulders and wrapped her arm around his waist so that she fully supported his wait, Sky leaned against her without protest. They trekked off across the snow following the tracks.
"Wait," called Z. "We need to go slower Sky can't keep this pace up." They stopped. "How is Syd doing?"
"Not good," Bridge admitted looking down at the barely conscious girl huddled in his arms, it was not helping the fact that it had begun to snow again and the wind was beginning to blow fiercely. "How are you and Sky doing?"
"I can barely feel my feet," Sky chattered. "My leg joints are stiffening as well. It's getting harder to walk." He was leaning heavily on Z.
"I'm chilled," said Z. "But I am used to the cold and thin clothing. How are you doing Bridge?"
"I've been better. I keep having to pinch Syd in the arm to keep her from falling asleep. I'm glad I have my thick socks on," said Bridge. "How far do you think we've gone?"
"I'm not sure," said Z. "At the most 10 miles. Our morphers aren't working."
Sky's legs gave out and his sudden weight shift knocked him and Z into the snow. Sky's strength had finally dissipated and he was now in the same state as Sydney. Bridge shifted Sydney's body so that he was holding her with one arm and pulled Z up.
"Here, take Syd," he said. "I'll carry Sky."
Z took Sydney into her arms bridal style and accepted a kiss at the temple from Bridge. He then pulled Sky up into a firefighter's lift so that he could carry him, looking at Z, she nodded and the two took up the trek again into the whirling snow.
"I think I see smoke up ahead," Bridge cried excitedly an hour later, he jerked his head toward the thin wisps of smoke coming out of what looked like a mound of snow.
Z squinted at the wisps escaping from the mound that was about 100 yards away. "I think that's a farmhouse or cabin ahead." She shifted Sydney's weight in her arms and jostled the girl conscious eliciting a moan from the girl's lips.
"Let's hope they're friendly and willing to take in some weary travelers," said Bridge. "Sky's starting to get heavy."
"So is Syd," said Z.
They trudged through the snow to the mound of snow which was actually a cabin covered in snow. Bridge knocked on the door. The door swung open and Z gasped,
"Jack!"
