Normal POV

Two days later, everyone is outside with easels in front of them. Ji walks behind them and says, "There is more to being a Power Ranger than mastering a sword." He stops and stands behind Lauren and continues, "You must also learn how to use your inherited Samurai symbol." As she completes painting the fire symbol, it activates and the bristles are set ablaze as Lauren lifts the brush off the paper.

"Wow, that was cool," Amelia says as she watches Lauren blows out her brush like it was a birthday candle.

Kevin gets splashed in the face as he activates his water symbol. A small stone falls on his foot when Emily's earth symbol activates. A light breeze wafted through Mia's hair when she finished painting the wind symbol on the paper. Tracy hasn't mentioned the pain she felt in her stomach that been going on for the past few days. She just thought it was just the normal cramps that warn her about her monthly visit from mother nature, or her samurai instincts trying to prepare her for the next attack, so she is just ignoring it. Tracy is so distracted by the thoughts that her family may have a sealing power she doesn't see the ice shards and snowballs coming towards her after Angela and Amelia move to their right after they finish painting the ice symbols.

"Tracy, look out," Lauren shouts.

Tracy snaps back to reality and turns her head. She takes out her samuraizer and quickly activates the glacier symbol as the wall of ice appear in front of her. When the snowballs come in contact with it, a giant hole is made, allowing them to fly through. Tracy groans as they hit her in the stomach. She drops to her knees.

"Sissy," Amelia and Angela shout.

Antonio helps her up, and Tracy sees the tears building up in her little sister's eyes as they run over to her.

"We're sorry, sissy," Amelia says.

"Don't worry, you two, I know you didn't mean it. You're still learning," Tracy says.

"I can't believe how strong their symbol power is, and they haven't even mastered it yet," Mike says.

Tracy walks over to Mike and sees that a jumbled mess of stokes are on the paper. "Thank you for the compliment, Mike, but at least they paid attention when I show them the correct order of the stokes to paint the symbol correctly."

"Tracy is right, Mike. The order of the stokes is wrong," Ji says as he comes over as well.

"Okay, I get it. I need to practice," Mike says.

Then suddenly, Tracy drops to her knees again as she feels a sharp pain in her stomach on the lower right side.

"Tracy, are you sure that you're alright?" Ji asks, as he helps her stand up.

"Yes, I'm fine. I need to head inside and rest for a bit, that's all." Tracy says.

"Okay," Ji says.

Tracy slowly walks into the house.

"Are you okay?" Isabella asks.

"Yes, I'm just a little tired from using a bit more symbol power than I thought when Amelia's ice symbol got a little out of control," Tracy says.

Isabella didn't have a chance to bring up the fact to Tracy that she noticed that she hasn't been acting like her usual self the past few days. Tracy politely excuses herself to go to her room so that she could rest. As she lays down on her bed, she lets out a low moan as she drifts off to sleep. Ten minutes later, Luna walks in the room to wake Tracy up. The puppy nudges her owner with her nose, but Tracy doesn't move or even make a sound. Luna could sense that something wasn't right, so she turns around, and sprints out of the room. The puppy gets outside and tugs on Ji's kimono.

"What's wrong, girl?" JI asks as he kneels in front of her.

Inside the house, Isabella goes to check on Tracy after seeing Luna running outside so fast as she did. She goes into her room.

"Tracy, how are you feeling?" Isabella asks as she walks over to the bed.

Panic and her maternal instincts kick in as she places her hand on Tracy's forehead.

"Tracy, can you hear me?" Isabella asks.

Tracy didn't respond, and Isabella's anxiety level continues to rise after not getting an answer for the second time.

"Ji, Ballade, get in here now," Isabella shouts.

A few seconds later, everyone enters the room. Ballade goes over to them.

"What's wrong with her, mom?" Amelia asks.

"I have a hunch, it might be appendicitis from the way she is holding herself," Ballade says as she notices that her oldest daughter is lying on her side, holding her stomach.

"We need to get her to the hospital now," Antonio says.

"She is going to be okay, right, mom?" Angela asks.

"Don't worry, sweetie. Your sister is going to be alright. But, Antonio is right, we need to get her to the hospital as soon as we can. She is going to need surgery," Ballade says.

Ballade's POV

The wait for the ambulance to arrive feels like an eternity. I know that Tracy's life is hanging in the balance. I can't tell the little ones that because there is no way to know if Tracy's appendix was just inflamed or it may have burst. When the paramedics arrived, I show them to the room. I follow them out to the vehicle. Aaron runs after me and is about to climb inside.

"Honey, you can't ride with me. I want to go with the others, okay?" I say.

"Okay, mommy," Aaron says.

The paramedic closes the door, and I sit down in the seat next to me. I buckle up, and my heart thumps inside of my chest as the ambulance drives off. I look over at the monitor and see that her blood pressure is low and she has a fever. I couldn't help but feel a slight twinge of guilt because I never talked to her when I first noticed she wasn't acting like herself. I wish I knew why she didn't mention that she was in pain before now. The doors swing open again, and the paramedic brings Tracy inside, I tell the doctor her symptoms.

"I'm afraid that my daughter's appendix may have ruptured," I say.

"Ma'am, are you a nurse or have a medical degree? How did you know that?" The doctor asks.

" Yes, I'm a nurse and her mother. " I say, "Now could you just order some imaging and then prep her for surgery." I snap.

Another nurse walks up to me and puts her hand on my shoulder to calm me down. Tears begin to form in my eyes as and I'm no longer able to act professionally when my maternal instincts kick into overdrive. The doctor takes Tracy away, and the nurse walks me to the waiting room.

A few minutes later, everyone comes into the room. Amelia, Angela, and Aaron sprint up to me with tears streaming down their faces. After my husband, Isabella, and I do our best to calm them down. We all sit down and wait for the doctor to come out. Five minutes pass and a nurse comes out and I go over to her.

"Where is the doctor?" I ask.

"Still in surgery. Do you know anyone who has the same blood type as your daughter? " the nurse replies.

"I'm afraid that no one in our family has the same blood type as Tracy," I say.

"I wouldn't be asking if our blood bank wasn't so low. We're going to need to find someone fast who would be willing to donate it here and now." the nurse says.

"What's Tracy's blood type? Maybe I can help," Antonio says.

"It 's AB+," the nurse says.

"I have O-," Antonio says.

"Antonio, are you sure that you want to do this, bud?" Jayden asks.

"Yes," Antonio says.

The nurse takes Antonio to the back, and after he returns, we wait another five minutes until the doctor comes out. He allows only Fiarce and me to go back to see Tracy.

"The surgery went as well as we all hoped it would," the doctor says.

"So, her appendix did rupture?" I ask.

"Yes, and her body is weak from trying to fight off the infection," the doctor replies.

"Do you have any idea when it happened?" Fiarce asks.

"I'm not sure, Mr. Burlew, but your daughter was walking around with it for a while from how big the abscess was." the doctor says.

"Thank you, doctor, for saving her life," I say.

The doctor leaves so we can have some privacy.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry I let you and everyone else down," Tracy says in a tired voice.

We walk over to her bed and Fiarce puts another pillow behind her back to help her sit up.

"Sweetheart, you don't have to apologize," I say, brushing some of her hair away from her face.

"Your mother is right, we're just so happy that you're okay," Fiarce says.

"Us too, sissy," Amelia says.

I turn around to see Ji, Antonio and Isabella walk in along with the triplets.

"Yeah, and you even have Antonio's blood inside you now," Aaron says.

"Really?" Tracy asks.

"Yes, I donated some of my blood to help the doctor out," Antonio says.

"Can we give sissy a hug?" Aaron asks.

"Not right not, bud, Tracy is going to be sore from the surgery," I say.

"Tracy, why didn't you tell anyone that you were in pain," Ji asks.

"I thought it was my samurai instincts working overtime, but it turns out that is was just my body trying to tell me that something was wrong," Tracy replies. "I didn't have any intention of scaring any of you like I did, honest," Tracy continues.

"We know, sweetheart, but next time don't try to mask any pain, okay?" I say.

"Okay," Tracy says through a yawn.

"Come on, everyone, we should head back to the house, so Tracy can rest," I say.

Normal POV

Everyone is sitting in the living room around the coffee table.

"When can sissy come home?" Aaron asks.

"If she just had an appendectomy, she would have to stay one to three days, but Tracy's appendix ruptured. So, she'll have to stay a little bit longer," Ballade says.

"How long is a little bit longer?" Aaron asks.

"Probably two to three more days. It will depend on what the doctor thinks is best," Ballade replies.

"Why was Tracy so distracted during training this morning?" Ji asks, slightly changing the subject.

"Tracy was curious whether or not her family has a sealing power like ours," Lauren says.

"If Tracy's family does have a sealing power, I'm sure that she would try to master as quickly as possible so Tracy could stop the war with Master Xandred to prevent Amelia and Angela to have to fight," Antonio adds.

"I thought Tracy was okay with them having to fight alongside us?" Mike asks.

"I'm pretty sure that my daughter has accepted the fact that she can't change the fact Amelia and Angela have inherited our family's symbol power. But, she wants to avoid sending them out into battle because she fears that they are still too young to handle the responsibility and the stress that comes with having to help the rest of you save the world," Ballade says.

Ballade sets a book down on the coffee table. Everyone looks at it to see a picture of the sliver ranger along with a sealing symbol next to it.

"But, when you were training me in our family's symbol, Mom, you said that it requires a massive amount of symbol power to make the seal permanent. " Lauren says.

"Yes, that's true, but our family's sealing power only seals away Master Xandred," Isabella says.

"So, what does this one do?" Antonio asks.

"It will seal all the gaps in the city," Ballade says.

"If Tracy, Amelia and Angela all inherited your family's symbol power. Wouldn't that mean that all of them need to master the sealing power?" Lauren asks.
