Back with Casey and Rammerhead…
Casey lay there badly injured on the ground. He was completely out of it. He tried a punch of desperation at Rammerhead, but the punch didn't even reach the monster's knees.
"Pathetic ranger! Time to end this!" Rammerhead sneered as he raised a hand to strike. Casey was a sitting duck. But before his attack made contact, a violet beam hit his wrist. The shark staggered backwards and grabbed his wrist—which was smoking from the attack.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" RJ shouted as he, Lily, Theo and Dominic ran up to face the monster.
"Oh? Did more rangers come out to play?" Rammerhead taunted.
"We won't be playing with you!" Lily said as she struck a fighting pose. All of the rangers stood in front of Casey. They knew he was injured, they just didn't know haw badly. Theo looked back and noticed that Casey had collapsed and wasn't moving.
"Casey?" he said worriedly. He knew something wasn't right. Casey couldn't answer him. The attack Rammerhead had hit him with had finally caught up to him. He was out cold.
"Aw, was I too much for the wittle tiger?" Rammerhead teased in a baby-like voice. This made the rangers mad. They didn't know if he had successfully defeated Casey, and they didn't appreciate him mocking him. Lily ran to Casey and turned his limp body over.
"Casey, are you okay?" She asked in a soothing voice. The she noticed something she didn't like. "RJ, look!" She yelled. RJ turned to see a large crack in the forehead of Casey's helmet. He could tell Casey took a hit. And a hard one at that. RJ had to think on his feet on what to do.
"Dom, Lily, take Casey back to the loft! Theo, you and I can handle this freak!" RJ ordered.
"You got it!" Dominic said grabbing the left side of Casey's body as Lily grabbed the right side.
"Will do, RJ!" She said. She was worried about Casey, but didn't want it to overcome her. Then she and Dominic carried Casey's limp body away to safety.
"Looks like it's just us against you." RJ said posing, he was ready for anything.
"You're in for it now!" Theo added as he struck a pose as well.
"Please! Don't underestimate my powers, or you'll end up like your little tiger friend. You're not worth my time. I'll deal with you later, when I have even more powers to crush you!" Rammerhead laughed. He knew leaving would anger the rangers, so that's what he did. He didn't want to give them the satisfaction of avenging their friend…yet. Then just like that, Rammerhead teleported away, leaving a faint gray cloud behind him.
"Hey, come back!" Theo ordered as he ran to where the smoke was. But he was long gone. "What now, RJ?" Theo asked with a concerned tone. RJ just starred dead ahead. "I don't know…but we'll figure something out." RJ said in a defeated tone.
Meanwhile, Bruce continued to wait for Casey. But is eagerness was gone. He no longer kicked his legs happily. And what once was a smile on his face, was now a worried frown. He lifted his hand up reluctantly to look at his watch. He was getting worried that Casey wouldn't show. The time read 4:15pm. He looked all around him to see if Casey was anywhere in sight.
"I wonder where Casey is? I hope he's still coming." Bruce said worriedly.
Bruce was trying to be positive, he wasn't going to leave just yet.
"Who knows?" Bruce thought, "Maybe he's just running late?"
Bruce sighed as he wait drug on.
