Mayumi nodded, holding her hands over her friend. She directed her chakra to try and figure things out. "Both of you, step outside and close the door. Wait for Aaron and I'll let you know when I have something," she said.
"Understood." Uryuu complied before motioning Davis to come with him as he went outside and close the door.

Davis followed and just shook his head. "This is unreal. Who the hell has this kind of power to strike down a Shinobi. Especially someone of Kumiko's caliber... Something says we are gonna have to suit up before long. Never thought I'd have to pull out my morpher again." Davis said.

Minutes later, Asuma arrived at the hospital to check on Kumiko. He found Davis and Uryuu and proceeded to walk in their direction. "Hey there boys." Asuma called out to his Rangers. "Any word on Kumiko?"
***
Aaron arrived at the prison and after explaining his business, one of the guards escorted the Red Ranger to the cells in the specialty wing reserved for the more sinister criminals. The Red Ranger stopped in front of a specific cell where he found none other than Proto. With his chakra sealed and locked in chains, Proto was doing pushups and revealed his much longer hair and thicker beard, two noticeable changes for the former STC leader. He looked up and saw Aaron standing in front of the cell, causing a smirk to creep across his face.
"Well, well. It's been a long time, Aaron." Proto got up and dusted his hands off before sitting on his bed.

Mayumi walked out of the room, having bandaged Kumiko up and scanned her body with chakra to find out what happened. She felt her hands shaking, but she clenched them tightly. "Asuma-sensei. She's...I don't what happened to her. I've got her bandaged, but until she wakes up, we won't know anything. I've never seen wounds like this," she said.

Uryuu was about to explain Kumiko's status until Mayumi beat him to the punch. The Blue Ranger's eyes widened upon hearing the news. "Must've been someone sinister that we don't see everyday. Could it be possible it's Orochimaru?" He asked.

"This doesn't seem like Orochimaru's style but we cannot take any chances. Aaron has gone to the prison to meet with Proto in hopes of getting some answers." Asuma explained to the group.

Takashi found himself on the top of the hospital roof giving the Rangers space while also remaining in the area should they need him. He kept an eye on anything suspicious observing anyone coming and going paying attention to any new faces as well. They didn't ask for his assistance but if there was something strange afoot an Anbu was a good option to have as backup.

"This doesn't seem like Orochimaru's style but we cannot take any chances. Aaron has gone to the prison to meet with Proto in hopes of getting some answers." Asuma explained to the group.
"I doubt he'll find any," Mayumi said. "If this was any of Proto's lingering losers, they'd have just killed her outright and we wouldn't have even known." She sighed, shaking her head as she looked at the closed door behind her. "I don't like this."

"Yes it has and yet not long enough."
"Oh Aaron, you know you miss me."
"Yeah I miss you like I miss Davis biting off other jutsu we use."
"Brother! I'm hurt." Proto placed his hand on his chest, faking as if his feelings were hurt.
"You're no brother of mine." Aaron shot back. "My brother is living his best life right now."
"I'm sure he is but I know you didn't come here to argue. Maybe you wanted to see how sexy you would look with long hair and a beard? I'm not the biggest fan of being used for my looks but for you, I'll make an exception."
"Cut the shit, Proto. What's the deal with your boys?"
"I need you to be more specific."
Aaron paused before speaking. "Kumiko's hurt... Kumiko of all people! The list of people I can think of that could hurt her like that is very short."
"And you think I had something to do with it?"
"No. You're not good enough to escape this cell without your chakra." Aaron managed to get that jab in on Proto. "But you do have friends who are."
"You mean the same friends that left me to rot for over 2 years? The same friends that pretended to serve me only to be truly allied with some DRAGO organization? Seems like some fake friends to me." Proto stood up, cracking his knuckles out of frustration. "I'm guilty of a lot of things but I'm no liar. If Orochimaru or Kabuto was here, I'd cut their throat myself."
Aaron remained silent, gaining a read on Proto and believed that the former STC leader was being truthful. "Okay. So let's say I believe you. Who else is out there that is strong enough to fuck up Kumiko like that?"
"I will say this. I've heard rumors of another organization. Nothing concrete but if I were you, I'd look in a different direction."
"Mhmmmmm..." Aaron pondered it over and what he heard wasn't too outrageous. It would have been foolish to think that evil was sitting idly by while they so wrapped up with STC. "Okay. Thank you."
"Hey." Proto called out as Aaron was leaving. "Give Kumiko my best. I'd hate to see you guys get knocked out before I get out of here." He ended with a smirk.
"Have fun dying in prison." Aaron said before leaving.
****
"I don't either." Asuma noticed another presence but it didn't feel threatening so he ignored it and focused on the current predicament. "But right now, we should examine her wounds more thoroughly. Perhaps those may give us a clue."

"I wish we could figure out what's going on, It's like I just told Uryuu. Whomever this person is, he or she's strong to knock a shinobi of her caliber in the dirt." Davis stated.

Mayumi nodded. "Sensei, let's see what the two of us can find," she said, looking at Asuma before heading for the door. She opened it before stopping. She looked at Davis and Uryuu, sighing softly. "Can you two watch out for Aaron?"

"Sure. I was going to inform him anyway, but knowing him, he'll most likely arrive here on time." Uryuu responded before he took out his morpher to call his Red comrade. "Aaron, it's Uryuu. Just informing you Kumiko is being tended here at the hospital. Mayumi, Davis, and Sempai are with me as well."

"I figured seeing as that's all stuff I had you guys do before I left." Aaron shook his head. "I'll be there soon to catch you guys up." Aaron ended the communication before continuing his journey back to the hospital.

Davis started to pace the halls as he tried to rack his brain of their current situation. "Whomever had done this would have had to have near Kage levels of power. Whatever this is, it stings and stinks.." Davis stated.

Asuma walked over to where Kumiko was laying. Once he got a close look at her wounds, his eyes grew wide in shock and horror now that he realized exactly what they were dealing with.
"Rangers! Come inside, quickly and close the door behind you. I know exactly who we're dealing with now." Asuma called out to the team.
