Chapter 13- Back and Bad

"Hey Syd, how you feelin' ?"

"I'm bored Z, really bored. When can I get out of here? I feel fine."

"Your out of here tomorrow after Kat finishes her tests" Jack sat at the bottom of her bed and gently squeezed her ankle. Sky was sitting on her right side and Bridge on the other while Z was perched at the bottom of her bed with Jack.

" Kat said that there's nothing wrong with me so why do I need more tests?" Syd pouted and crossed her arms over her chest.

"You showed alot of power out there..."

"Sky's right I mean I thought only your hands could absorb and change into elements but your whole body absorbed the water..."

"What I was going to say is that Kat thinks that the energy from the crystal some how enhanced your powers, and she just wants to see if it was a one off or if it's permanent."

"Great, I'm a human guinea pig, what more could a girl want." Before anyone could say anything an explosion was heard and the base shook, a second later and the alarms and lights were going off.

"Whats going on?"

"ALL ABLE CADETS TO DEFENCE POSTS. ALL ABLE CADETS TO DEFENCE POSTS."

"Come on guys lets go! No Syd you better stay here"

"Jack I'm going with you I mean it."

"Ok then lets go"

The rangers ran into corridor and Z narrowly dodged a piece of the ceiling that had fallen down.

"Z you Ok?"

"I'm fine Sky."

"Guys we need to get to the command room."

"Erm, Jack I think thats going to be harder than you think look!" Bridge pointed to where the corridor was blocked off by fallen debris.

"Jack can you phase through it?" Z stood next to him.

"I should be able to" Jack ran straight through the debris and came back out a couple of seconds after.

"Ok Z you've done this with me before, come on." Z took his hand and Jack pulled her through the rubble. Bridge went next. Before Jack could phase back through the wall to get Sky and Syd, another explosion rocked the base. Sky threw up a force field to protect him and Syd as more debris fell from the ceiling.

"Syd you OK?"

"Yeah I'm fine..."

"NOT FOR LONG"

Syd and Sky turned to see the figures from the nightmare realm standing there in the corridor. They instinctively got into fighting stances as the figures shot beams of black light at them. They covered there faces with their arms and waited for the impact but before it could they fet a hand on their shoulders and when they opened their eyes they saw Jack Z and Bridge standing over them.

"Thanks Jack I owe you one." Sky nodded his head towards Jack as he helped Syd off the floor.

"Yeah me too"

"No worries guys but we better hurry the base could crumble any minute."

They begun to run down the corridor and up the stairs when yet another explosion ripped through the base. Fire spread at the bottom of the stairs and the only way for them to go was up.

"Bridge can you sense where the commander and Kat are?"

"I can't get a lock on their energy signatures, theres to many emotions in this base."

"Through here" Syd kicked a door open and they saw more flights of stairs.

"Where are we?" Z was the second into the room.

"It's the old training room." Sky pulled a switch expecting the lights to come on but when they didn't they assumed that the last blast knocked out the west side's generator.

" OK so what are we doing in here, we need to find the commandor."

"I know that Jack but downstairs is on fire and I've got a feeling that the corridor outside is blocked."

Syd waled over to the 3 katana's hanging up on the wall.

"Bridge Sky, can you help me?"

"Sure"

Syd Sky and Bridge each grabbed the handles of the swords and turned them until there blades pointed to the ceiling.

Suddenly a rumble was heard and the wall moved to reveal aother corridor.

"Woah!"

"Jack close your mouth your catching flies" Jack shoved Z in the arm and before any of them could say anything more the fire broke through and filled the room with flames and smoke.

"GUYS WHAT DO WE DO?"

"Bridge give me your water bottle." Syd held her hand out while she covered her face with her free arm.

"What?"

"Give me your watter bottle."

The flames had backed them into a corner and they began to choke from the smoke.

"Syd Kat never got to do her tests we don't know if you can do it again."

"Sky we don't have a choice. i have to try. Bridge give me your water bottle."

"Syd I won't let you."

"Sky I'm not going to let you guys die." With that Syd grabbed the bottle from Bridge and poured the water into the palms of her hands. She felt the cool liquid flow through her veins.

Before anyone could protest she threw herself over the flames.
