Thanks to the last two readers that reviewed which were andyg2525 and Jenzzyuk. Here is the next chapter for you to.
Chapter 51: Two Injured
After the girls screamed, both Sky and Bridge saw they both had kind of flew backward, come unmorphed and hit the ground. Z immediately got back up and got remorphed just in time for some new rumbits to come from out of nowhere along with General Tomars and began to attack her. Then Bridge called to her while dealing with his own rumbits and battlings.
"Z, are you okay, use number response babe."
"three"
Z and Bridge had worked out a number system to use with each other in battle to know how bad each other was injured. One was "I am okay, little blood but not bad", Two was " I am still okay, I have blood and an injury that was hurting, but I am still okay" Three was " I can still fight, but probably not for much longer, I am injured and I have blood coming from the injury." Four was " I don't think I can fight, I am pretty bad and have blood" and they hoped that they would never need the fifth where it was most likely unconscious and unable to defend self.
Even though Sky did not know what their number system was, he could see that yes, Z was still fighting and standing, but was barely holding on because she was fighting one arm down and he saw blood coming from the arm just seconds before she remorphed. The next chance he had he looked at where Syd still lay. He could see that she was breathing but was most likely injured badly since she had not moved and was unmorphed.
Meanwhile back at the base, Boom and Kat were inputing security user codes into the computers and they were discussing who would have what clearance to things. Kat had turned and saw the battle that was ensuing and saw the female rangers get attacked and fall and the only one get back up quick. Just then the new radio alarm for Cruger and her went off.
"Kat or Commander Cruger, are you …there"
"This is Kat, I am here Sky."
" We need help from the Commander, both Syd and Z are injured. Syd …is still… down and it looks like….Z is close to losing what energy and stamina she has, so it is only me and …..Bridge."
"I'll get Doggie Sky"
"Tell him to hurry, please"
Within seconds, Anubis reached the command control center.
"What is it, Ms. Manx?"
"The rangers need you. They are holding their own however they are in a circle protection formation around Sydney, since she got hit with something and it hit her hard, but Z also got hit and even though she is still fighting she is bleeding pretty badly. They would retreat back to the base to get help for Syd and Z but they are worried that civilians will get hurt. "
"Call Drs. Tyler and Felix and have both emergency crews standing by. Have Dr. Tyler with Sydney and Felix with Z. Alright…SPD EMERGENCY"
As Doggie turned to leave, he turned around.
"Never mind. Let's bring the base instead."
Doggie brought the new Delta Base Crawler online, and then they stayed in the crawler mode until they reached the rangers. When they reached them Doggie saw both doctors waiting, then he went out and got Sydney and brought her to Dr. Tyler, then went back to help usher Z to safety, but half-way to the door of the base, she passed out so Anubis picked her up and brought her to . Whenn he had done that , he returned to help out Sky and Bridge. Within 30 minutes all of the offending monsters had left.
"Alright, let's go back into the base and get the base back to its location."
While walking to the base Bridge asked the question that Sky had been wondering as well, "Sir what were those new rumbits."
"those were Blumbits and they are like four rumbits together, that is why I was not surprised that you need my help. "
"Sir, This Magnificent goon has the basic foot soliders and then the blumbits are grumm's blueheads but does he have any like the orangeheads. "
Doggie remained silent for a moment and hoped that they would never have to encounter them, but as they reached the waiting room for both infirmaries doggie finally answered.
"Yeah, he do you ask, I have never encountered them but Sydney's father and your mother did."
"Sir," Sky began "The laser that hit both Syd and Z, it was like it came out of nowhere"
Anubis shook his head.
"I want to hear from the doctors but it sounds like Syd and Z got hit with the laser from a Crum-bit. They feel nothing and will hurt anything, they do not listen to almost anything. They like Z have the power to multiply. Before each of you were born, all of your parents worked at SPD in some way. While in the Lab one day the mixture's, that would help take down magnificent even before he became a master,beaker broke and the particles, according to Ms. Manx each had a purpose, went to both the person that poured it in and who the particles were closest too. That is how you each receive your power ,but one night before that happen a little of each power was stolen. We still don't know what happened, I was not the commander of this base at the time. But what I was saying that they have the power to be in two or more places at once. They also have a laser built into their arm."
Both Sky and Bridge looked at each other with sort of a wow look on their face. After that Kat walked in.
"Well, , How are they?"
"I can't say too much because I don't know exactly what is all wrong however, I do know that they both could be in for a rough night or possibly a rough couple of weeks. What I know about Z is that she was shot with some sort of pellet based short range blaster. Now Z mostly has clean wounds however one was clean but the pellet hit something to make her arm bleed very badly, so Dr. Felix needs to perform surgery to make sure that no debris was left behind and to cauterize (stop) the bleeding, since it is too deep to do within surgery."
"Kat, did I have to sign anything?"
"No, cadet, I signed it when I brought her in and handed her off to Dr. Felix and Ms. Manx"
"And, Syd?"
"I have nothing so far on her since I haven't been able to get to her. All I know is that she is in the newest infirmary which transforms with the base, but even the base had to transform into the megazord then she would have been fine. With that said, it also is harder to get to when the base is transformed and not the brisk walk that it is now. Oh, and Bridge, Z woke and asked for you. Sky, I am sure that Syd will want to see you and I am sure that Dr. Tyler will have some forms for you to fill out, so why don't you come with me."
After Kat finished, Bridge took off toward the infirmary that Z was brought to and Kat and Sky took off in the opposite way, while Cruger went to get a quick update about the city then he would follow them to the infirmary to get news on Sydney. When Sky and Kat got to the infirmary, they saw Dr. Tyler placing a blanket over Sydney's waist and they placed something under her with the assistance of one of the med nurses. Then he placed some kind of apron over Syd. He then walked out of the room and pressed the lock button and then hit another button and then reopened the door.
"Hello,Ms. Manx and Cadet Tate"
Sky was silent but Kat replied with a "hello" and "how is she".
"I'm sorry however, I do not know a lot yet about why she did not wake right away, because I had to get an x-ray since my sensor doesn't scan at quite the same degree that a x-ray can. From what I can tell she has a broken wrist which should heal quickly. But, I needed to check her chest, and I wanted to get a brain scan just to make sure she just lost consciousness and not something far worse. She was also hit with a pellet based blaster, but they just skimmed the skin, so there are only cuts and not something worse, since Felix told me about the injury to Z. She was also very dehydrated, but other than that she is good. She also seems to be physically and perhaps mentally exhausted so although she awoke for mere moments she was not able to stay that way."
"May I see her?"
"Of course, I will have some forms for you to fill out in a few moments since her family is not here and you are the contact person afterwards."
Sky started to move toward Syd, but he started to lean towards the floor.
"woah, woah, Sky" yelled Kat.
"I'm okay, I just lost my footing for a second there"
"That may be,"said Dr. Tyler "however I would like to still examine you"
"really, doctor, I am fine, I just lost my footing"
"Cadet, I don't want the Commander to order you to get checked out. Now, we don't know what we are dealing with, so I would like to check you out willingly."
Within seconds, Sky was sitting in the bed right next to Sydney. Anubis was just arriving to both check on Sydney and then was called with Sky.
"Sky, your sugar level is low plus you are a little dehydrated.
"Is that what made me almost pass out?"
"Yes, however I have notice all the extra hours that you have logged and concluded that you might be overworking yourself"
Anubis heard that as he was walking in and he knew that all the team now probably were because of the Magnificent threat.
" I know that you are the red ranger, but that does not mean that you should not have a day to rest either, now if you continue to go at the same rate that you are going you may start to get injuries which could be far worse than just taking a day off"
" I agree with the doctor Sky. Now you will be resting completely on the next coming day off which is next week but I am considering moving it up after hearing what the doctor just said. You are to not do anything physically strenuous for the next couple of days when you have down time or until the doctor has determined that you no longer seem to be or you are not exhausted."
"Yes sir"
"Now, how is Cadet Drew doing doctor?"
"She is doing much better than when I first got her. She hit her head more than likely on the pavement quite hard, which gave her a small concussion. Like Cadet Tate, she is also a little dehydrated and her sugar level is down. Also she seems like she is exhausted however it is not in the same way that Cadet Tate is. Now I talked to Felix and Cadets Delgado and Carson are not exhausted in the same way, they are more like cadet Tate. Now medically, nothing is wrong with the exception of those items caused by the injury and also her health conditions prior to this. However, Physically and emotionally, Cadet Drew is exhausted."
"Commander, I am not sure but both Z and I do not think that Syd has been getting a lot of sleep. Z has mentioned that she has woken up sometimes in the middle of the night crying and she tosses and turns quite a bit."
"Sky, how long do you think that this has been going on for?"
"We think that it has been ever since Diabolico came and she got the Cobra Curse, however it could have been before this."
"Sky, do you know if she is taking the sleeping pills that Dr. Felix gave her?"
"I am not sure sir, since Z, Bridge, or I have to break it, however I would assume that she is"
When the machine with the IV fluid beeped, Sky thought that he was done, except that Dr. Tyler walked over and said "nope, you still have another one to do, so go ahead and try to get some rest."
"Alright"
Sky fell asleep soon after. Both Dr. Tyler and Cruger were happy to see it. Shortly after Felix came in with Kat leaving Z and a now sleeping Bridge in Ian's and Boom's care and protection, since they both had medical knowledge and Bridge could always be woken in case of an emergency.
" How is Z doing?"
" Both she and Bridge were very tired, yet with the exception of Z's injuries. Whatever they fought , no one should even try to fight on their own."
Suddenly they heard a beep.
"That was the IV bag monitor on Sky. Was Z or Bridge dehydrated?"
"not that I determined"
Dr. Tyler left to release Sky from the IV, while Dr. Felix , Kat, and Doggie discussed Z and Bridge.
A/N: Sorry that it took so long to update, but school started for me and I am in a non-stop 18 month program and I have not had the time to type up any chapters. I was thinking about discontinuing this story since it seemed like no one is reading so I will post a poll on my page to see how many readers I still have, I would also appreciate a review to let me know too.
