The disaster was far from over as the plane carrying Blanko and Sabrira finally executed a rough belly landing in the dense jungles of Southeastern Splerai'ia. The survivors though they survived the ordeal but all the others will be facing the risks soon after.
Despite being knocked out by the rough landing, Blanko finally regained consciousness. The cabin was wrecked up with some passenger seats scattered around along with the piles of luggage and other things that came off during the belly landing. Sounds of other passengers groaning and moaning in pain could be heard as well with the sound of the jungle surroundings.
"We're grounded at last." Blanko said.
He then jolted when someone tightened his left paw. When Blanko turned his head, he saw a bleeding Sabrira. Even though the snow leopard was seated with her seatbelt fastened tightly, the poor feline suffered harsh internal injuries since the rough landing caused the seats to flung forward. Sabrira has a bleeding forehead and her body was pinned by other unoccupied seats.
"B-Blanko." Sabrira weakly called. "H-H-Help me."
Blanko was awe-struck to the sight of her.
"Sabrira!" Blanko reacted.
Blanko began to remove the debris that crushed his beloved mate.
"Hold on!" Blanko shouted. "I'm coming!"
With the airline seats removed, the black panther dragged Sabrira out. Aside from the bleeding gash on her forehead, Sabrira's clothes was splashed with fresh blood.
"My God!" Blanko swears in disbelief. "You're hurt, Sabrira!"
Blanko extended his claws and he sliced away the loose parts of the snow leopard's dress. As he removed it, Blanko was shocked to see a bleeding wound on her stomach. In a rush of adrenaline, Blanko checked his pockets and he grabbed a clean handkerchief. Sabrira groaned as Blanko applied pressure on her stomach wound.
"Ah!" Sabrira moaned. "T-That hurts."
"I'm sorry, Sabrira but I need to cover that wound there." Blanko replied compassionately. "You're losing a lot of blood."
Sabrira grabbed his paw.
"Please don't leave me here." Sabrira weakly pleaded.
"I know, Sabrira but I need to find some help." Blanko replied.
A dazed tiger then appeared from the wreckage. He shook his head before he noticed Blanko. He then approached to him.
"Dude, are you ok?" The young tiger asked.
"I'm fine, man but my mate was seriously injured." Blanko replied back.
The tiger was shocked to see Sabrira's condition.
"Oh crap!" The tiger responded. "She is!"
The young tiger then assisted Sabrira.
"Your mate was losing blood fast." The tiger athlete said. "I need a bandage."
"I don't know what to do." Blanko panicked.
"I'll handle your girl, man." The tiger reassured. "Go find some first aid essentials in the wreckage while I'll help her here."
Blanko nodded. He then returned to the DHC-5 Buffalo wreckage to find some first aid. Due to the rough belly landing, the impact sheared away the tail and wings while the front part of the plane rested on its right side. As he ventured further, Blanko saw the other dead passengers that were crushed on the seats or laid on their backs. The sight disgusted the black panther and even with these, he continued on searching. Luckily, he found his luggage and some first aid essentials that was scattered on the floor. When Blanko grabbed the needed items, he saw the lioness, alive and still strapped in her jump seat. Her paws were pinned by the counter.
"Excuse me, Sir." The lioness called. "Can you please free my paws?"
"Sure thing." Blanko replied.
Blanko then freed the lioness' trapped paws. The flight attendant then unbuckled from her seat.
"I can't believe that pilots managed to execute a belly landing in the jungle." The lioness remarked.
"Let's focus about that later on." Blanko said. "For right now, I need to save my mate outside."
"What happened?!" The lioness reacted.
"She's gravely injured." Blanko explained.
Both Blanko and the lioness hurried back outside to join in with Sabrira and the young tiger. With a sterile medical compress, he removed the handkerchief and applied a good press on the wound with it. The snow leopard groaned as the tiger helped her by bandaging the gash on her forehead.
"Her injuries were not that threatening but she still needs medical attention." The tiger said.
"I hope the rescuers will find us sooner or later to that." The lioness hoped for the best.
Blanko caressed Sabrira with his paws.
"You're gonna be fine, Sabrira." Blanko reassured. "Please stay strong."
As the groaning continued, the night grew further in the jungle. With that, the remaining survivors sheltered themselves in the wrecked DHC-5 Buffalo, hoping that rescue will be coming soon.
