Trini

Trini looked up from the chart she was looking over as the paramedics crashed through the hospital doors. She rushed over as they gave her a rundown of the patient's condition.

"He was found buried under the rubble of the Youth Center. He appears to have a dislocated shoulder and a possible concussion."

"Take him to exam room 3," Trini let the interns take care of the man, his injuries weren't too serious and the hospital staff was stretched thin as it was.

She paused as she let the paramedic's words sink in, 'the rubble of the Youth Center'. It was hard to imagine that the place she went to almost everyday after school when she was in high school was only a pile of rubble now. She could remember all the smiles and the laughter as her and Kim would watch the boys spar, or how ridiculous Bulk and Skull looked with cake all over themselves. The Angel Grove Youth Center held lots of good memories of her youth.

Trini was shaken out of her trance by a nurse's call, "Code blue, room 117, code blue!"

She sprinted to said room, demanding for a crash cart on her way. Once the crash cart arrived, she grabbed the shock paddles, "Clear," and everyone backed away as she shocked the patient. They waited a moment, but there was still no pulse. "Again, clear." After another tense moment, Trini decided to call it, "Time of death 1400 hours."

The room began to clear and Trini covered the patient with the sheet, and hung her head.

"You ok, Trini?" David Livingston, a fellow doctor put his hand on her shoulder.

She pinched the bridge of her nose and took in a deep breath before looking up, "Yeah, I'm fine." It was her fifth loss of the day, and she was sure it wouldn't be the last. The whole hospital reeked of death, and Trini was quickly getting tired of it. Throughout all her years in Angel Grove it had never been this bad. She wondered who the Power Rangers were now, and how it could have come to this.

Trini was pulled from her thoughts as she heard yelling, "Help! I need some help here!" She ran over to the man that had just walked through the doors, blood dripping from his arm to the floor even as he applied pressure to the wound.

"Alright, you are going to need to let me look at your arm, sir," Trini gently pried his hand away from his arm. From what she could tell it was a blaster wound that had hit an artery, and if they didn't get this man stitched up soon, he would bleed out. She led him over to an empty gurney, and got to work.

Trini turned around and threw out her bloody gloves in a nearby trashcan as reinforcements arrived with supplies and extra hands that the hospital was in desperate need of right about now.

Seeing as no one else was stepping up Trini started directing the help to the areas that needed it the most. It was obvious that the hospital staff had never dealt with an invasion like this. Fortunately for them Trini was used to rushing headlong into battle, and keeping a clear mind in a crisis was what Trini was known for in her Ranger days.

Suddenly the hospital doors blasted open and Quantrons poured into the hospital. Without thinking twice Trini switched gears from healing to destruction as she kicked a blaster out of a Quantrons hand and elbowed one approaching from behind.

Then, dropping to the ground she swung her leg around and a Quantron fell down beside her. Using a gymnastics move that Kim had taught her she leaned backwards and pushed off her hands, deflecting a shot as her foot connected with the blaster on her way up. White plaster fell down from the ceiling like snow as the blast shot upward. She round house kicked the Quantron as she swung her arm around and back fisted another.

A Quantron grabbed her from behind and had held tight as she struggled to free herself from its grip. She looked up to see several blasters aimed at her and knew she didn't have much time. Quickly she flipped the Quantron over her and dove behind the nurse's station as the Quantrons fired where she had been standing. Taking a deep breath Trini peeked over the counter and noticed that everyone else was overrun and the hospital was no longer fighting, it was accepting defeat.

Trini closed her eyes and realized that now was not the time for battle, she had to accept the inevitable and concede defeat. She stood up slowly and raised her hands high in the air, in the universal sign of surrender.

The Quantrons marched the whole hospital out, both staff and patients alike. Trini held up an elderly man as he struggled to make the trek to where the rest of Angel Grove was being held. A tear slowly made it way down her face as she hung her head, feeling as if she had failed.

She quickly wiped the moisture off her cheek as she held her head high in determination to show courage. Right now it wasn't about her; it was about her colleagues and her patients. As a former Power Ranger she couldn't let these innocent people think that all hope was lost.
