Hidden Truths

Plans Hatched

(Further down the chapter will make more sense with choice of the image)

Blaze and Roxy got to Grid Battleforce pretty quickly to avoid more damage to Roxy's shoulder due to the gun shot and Blaze instantly informed Commander Shaw and she instantly auhtorised to have Roxy taken to the medical center in the building to treat her shoulder and Blaze went with her. Roxy sat up on the bed as one the medical attendants they had applied a bandage to her shoulder "Make sure not to put too much pressure on your shoulder for about 24 hours and then your shoulder will be perfectly ok." The doctor spoke to Roxy and she nodded "Thank you doctor." She smiled and gently moved her shoulder to avoid to going numb and pulled her jacket sleeve over it.

The doctor smiled and left just as the Rangers were entering and ran over to Blaze and Roxy "Are you guys ok?!" Zoey questionned and Devon finished her sentance "What happened?" He asked, his voice showing concern and Blaze and Roxy looked at each other "We got paid a visit from her robotic friends." Blaze and the others all looked at each other "What?! Why didn't you call us?" Ravi asked them and Roxy sighed "Blaze's phone got blasted, he's given it to the lab to see if they can repair it." She spoke softly and the Rangers sighed "You guys could've been hurt." Zoey spoke out of concern for her friends and Steel notcied a small part of the bandage on Roxy's arm and he gently pulled back her jacket sleeve to see the bandage on her shoulder and Nate's eyes instantly widened "Robo-Roxy shot her." Blaze said shortly and they all looked at each other in shock "Are you ok Roxy?" Nate asked her and she nodded with a small smile.

Commander Shaw walked into the medical center and saw the group and looked to Blaze and Roxy "Are you two ok?" She asked the former trainees and they both nodded "I think we're a bit more shaken up than anything Commander." Blaze spoke and looked over to Roxy who agreed "Is it ok if we head home?" She asked but the commander stopped them "I'm afraid not." She spoke and the two teens looked at her a bit confused "Why not?" They both asked and the Commander's eyes softened "If Robo-Blaze and Roxy attacked you two once then it could easily happen again. You two need to stay here as a precaution, especially due to Roxy's injury." She spoke calmly and Roxy's eyes widened "I don't want to be the reason to put you all in danger." She said with her eyes pricking with tears and the rest of the team walked over to them "We'll have your back Roxy, both of you." Ravi smiled and she gave the whole team a small smile before walking out of the center to the slight confusion of everyone. "I'll go talk to her." Blaze said to them all and went to go find Roxy.

Robo-Blaze and Roxy returned to the Crystal Dimension and Robo-Roxy quickly got to work on something "What are you doing?" He asked her and she brought him over to their screen which showed thier fight with Blaze and Roxy "Look at how he pushes you away to get to that girl." She spoke and Robo-Blaze looked at the screen and saw how his human counterpart put the fight out of his mind to help his friend "What am I supposed to be looking at?" He asked her and Robo-Roxy shook her head with a smile as she paused the images and zoomed in on Blaze helping Roxy to her feet. "It's the way he looks at her." She said and he looked closer to the image "You think he may have feelings for her?" He said to her and she nodded with a grin "Exactly, I can exploit that." She spoke with a smile while resting her left hand on top of her right "Let's see how far he'll go to protect his 'friend'" Robo-Roxy spoke with her signature grin and Robo-Blaze grinned back at her.

Roxy was sitting in the lab with tears threating to spill from her eyes, she was leaning against the stasis pod where she spent so much of her time unconscious while her double was trying to harm her home and her friends, she didn't want to be the reason she was putting her friends in danger and she knew this was her fault because she wasn't as tough as she used to be. Blaze eventually found her in the lab and walked in to join her "You ok Rox?" He asked her and she looked over at him and quickly cleared her teary eyes and nodded at him "It's not your fault Roxy." He spoke softly and leaned against the pod beside her and looked at her "I could've dodged that shot." She sighed and kept drying hr eyes and Blaze handed her a tissue to dry her eyes "It could've been me but you just got unlucky." He comforted her as she looked up at her "You're so strong, no one could beat you, apart from Devon." She joked playfully and Blaze smiled "Let's never speak of those again." He smiled as those defeats against Devon bruised his pride and Roxy smiled softly at him and Blaze wrapped his arm around her shoulder "I promise Roxy, I'm not going to let anyone hurt you. No matter what." He spoke softly as Roxy leaned into his shoulder with a small smile and Blaze smiled down at his friend knowing he was going to do his absolute best to protect someone that he truly cared for but didn't want to tell her how much she meant to him.

(Thanks so much for reading this second chapter, I absolutely loved writing it and i really hoped you guys enjoyed it. It appears Robo-Roxy may have discovered some form of emotional attachment between Blaze and Roxy. What is she going to plan for them? Stay tuned to find out)
