A few agonizingly long hours later saw the analysis of his mother's blood done and over with. Zack stood by as Alpha read over the results in the Eltarian language, getting more and more nervous by the second. Especially thanks to some of the noises the little robot made while reading it. "Hmm… I see, I see." Murmured Alpha.

Making Zack snap and move forward. "What!? What is it!?"

Alpha jumped a little, almost as if he'd forgotten Zack had been there. "Have you ever heard of 'Neutrophil'?"

"Uhh, no? Is that an Earth thing or an outer space thing?"

"Its an Earth thing, or at least the term for it here is. Other races like Zordon's would call it something else." Alpha informed the young man.

Zack nodded in understanding at that. "They are a form of White Blood Cells found in you Humans, but unfortunately for your mother, her's are almost to the point of being non-existant. Making it that much harder for her immune system to fight off various problems to the body. The odd thing is, the cause of it seems to be something of Eltarian origin. Which is why nothing on Earth has been able to help your mother. But how your mother would have gotten this is beyond me since as far as I know, there haven't been any Eltarians on Earth aside from Zordon and Rita."

"Okay… I'll worry about that later. But what I want to know is, is this curable!?" Asked the Black Ranger impatiently.

As he had to know! Alpha thankfully gave a nod. "Of course, Master Zack! Eltar at the time before we came to Earth 65 million years ago was one of several civilizations that were highly advanced in many things. Medicine being one of those. And I can only imagine how much more they've advanced since we ended up here."

Hearing this made Zack relieved as Hell. Giving him hope that his mother would finally be okay. "I will begin work on the cure for your mother's condition but I will need for you to keep me informed on the situation. Along with bringing me a blood sample once a week, alright?"

"Y-Yeah, anything you need man, anything you need." Zack told him in near tears.

Alpha nodded once and quickly got to work on what needed to be done that would restore Mrs. Taylor's Neutrophil and make her strong again. In addition to completely wiping out the virus that had been the cause of it. The process would take roughly another hour before it was ready for Zack to use on his mother. "Dude, I so freaking owe you!" Cried out Zack as he hugged the little robot before hauling ass for his mother's.

"Master Zack, you needn't ever have to repay me." Murmured Alpha 5 softly before turning his attention back to Mrs. Taylor's blood results.

Ever curious about how she could have possibly gotten something of Eltarian origin in her system. And hoping that the cure he made for Master Zack's mother was truly effective since there was only a 40 percent chance of it doing so. Not that he could have told the young Master that as he didn't dare take away his hope. Fiona Taylor would be quite curious about what her son was giving her. But all he would tell her is that it was something a Herbalist had made for her to use. Promising at least three days of worth of vitalized energy. Zack would only feel slightly guilty about lying to his mother but he'd pay it little mind. Thankfully, she would buy the lie and allow him to inject her with the cure. Over the next three weeks, Zack, with Alpha 5's help, would keep careful watch on his mother's progress. Progress that was showing great signs an improving immune system. His mother would be a bit suspicious of her sudden but slow return to good health. Thinking that supposed energy shot her son gave her had something to do with it. But not wanting to rock the boat about it since this was a sign of good fortune.

Good fortune that she just knew her son was somehow responsible for. And when the final results came in about his mother, Zack would practically fall to his knees in tears and even hug Alpha again. Something the other Rangers would walk in on too at the time since they were all quite curious as to where the two were. And after a check up with the Doctor and getting a clean bill of health that the man himself said was a miracle, a huge party would be thrown to celebrate the good news. "My son can now concentrate on making those grades of his a lot better." Said Mrs. Taylor good naturedly during the party at one point.

Causing everyone present to laugh while Zack himself blushed. "How, how'd you know about that!?"

Fiona just gave him a look. "I'm a mother, I know things." Was all she said with a smile on her lips and causing more laughter to occur.

Zack just shook his head in amusement and hugged his mother tightly with tears in his eyes. "Love you, mom."

"Love you too, my little Xingan."

Author's Notes: Hope you all enjoyed! As you can see, I decided to mix things up a bit and make her condition both an Earth and Alien issue. Which I am considering covering in a sequel too in the near future for how that ended up happening. 'Xingan' can either mean 'Heart and Liver' or 'Heart and Soul'. Of which the second is the one I'm definitely using in this. Until next time folks!
