Uryuu found himself piqued with interest when Asuma announced who's responsible for hurting Kumiko. He went inside the room, allowing Davis and Mayumi in while he closed the door behind them. "Okay Sempai, you can now tell us." He said.

Mayumi looked over and walked in behind Uryuu and Davis, the door shutting sounding like a steel barricade to her ears. She walked over and took Kumiko's hand, rubbing her friend's arm softly before looking at Asuma. "What happened to her? Who could do this?"

Davis walked in and stood alongside Mayumi and Uryuu. "I'll open the communicator so Aaron can listen in." Davis said as he tapped his communicator and opened a channel to Aaron can listen it. "Aaron, Davis here. Asuma seems to have figured out what happened to Kumiko. He's about to fill us in." Davis stated.

"I just told Uryuu I'd be back soon." Aaron made it back to the hospital, entering Kumiko's room and closing the door behind him. He looked ar Davis, narrowing his eyes in his direction for calling him just minutes after the Blue Ranger did.
"So Asuma-Sensei, what have we got?"
Asuma sighed. "There is no easy way to say this. The group responsible for this is the Akatsuki." Asuma then started to explain, knowing that the team weren't familiar with this foe.
"The Akatuski is a criminal organization of S-Class Criminals and Missing-nin and is the most wanted group in all of shinobi world. The power easily surpasses that of STC. Judging by Kumiko's shortage of chakra and the bite marks, this is likely the work of Kisame Hoshigaki." Asuma recalled his past encounter with Kisame and did not look pleased nor confident in the slighest.

Mayumi put her hand on Kumiko's, rubbing the Pink Ranger's arm softly. "What's going to happen to her?" she asked softly. "And how do we stop these Akatsuki?"

"Oh my." Uryuu was surprised by the revelation. That new group being stronger than the STC, he realized it's going to be more challenging than ever for his team since Kane left and Kumiko out of commission. "I guess they wait for this moment to surprise us following the events with Proto. How did we miss this?"

"You didn't miss anything. Only a select few were aware of Akatsuki at all as Lady Tsunade did not wish to throw this daunting task on your plates at the same time STC was at their peak." Asuma said to Uryuu. "Their key goal that we're aware of is to obtain all of the tailed beasts and with Naruto being away with Jiraiya for two years, they had no reason to interact with the Rangers but now that Naruto is back, their objective is in play and it's my guess that with the gains you all have experienced, you all have officially hit their radar."
Asuma looked down at Kumiko, rubbing her forehead. "I'm no doctor but from what I can see with her beating coupled with the massive chakra drain, she's alive by sheer will but won't be waking up any time soon." Asuma's tone was filled with regretfulness as he couldn't give better news on any front, especially with Kumiko. "As for how to stop them, I don't have an answer to that right now."

"Well, they picked the perfect time to come at us. A ranger down and our powers may not be able to beat them? At least she's alive." Davis stated.

"Two Rangers down but I'm glad she's alive too." Aaron said. "But as for this Akatsuki, they'll fall just like STC did because Konoha has the GOAT and they don't, so it's an automatic dub!" Aaron pointed at himself, using his boisterous ways to declare victory even if deep down, he was as worried as everyone else.

Mayumi looked down at Kumiko, her hands clenching. "Sure, you may think that, but what about the fact that we're down two?" she asked. "We'll have to compensate for the power differential without Kumiko and Kane. How do we do that? Start busting our asses harder then we already are?"

"I don't think its possible. Not only to pull one rangers load, but also a load of the super flashy Kane brothers? I'd pray to the saints and lords above for a miracle." Davis stated.

While Uryuu appreciated Aaron's optimism, he wasn't sure if that would be the case especially when he understood his friends' concerns. "Until we know what their next move be, we'll have to wait " He said. "We don't even know where their base is."

"That's exactly what we do. We did it to beat Proto and we can do it again!" Aaron responded, showing full faith in his team.
"I don't think its possible. Not only to pull one rangers load, but also a load of the super flashy Kane brothers? I'd pray to the saints and lords above for a miracle." Davis stated.

"I've met the boss up in Spirit World and trust me, he's not going to help us unless his territory. Hell the only reason I'm alive right now is because Dragonis could have wreaked havoc on his shit." He said to Davis before looking at Uryuu and chuckled. "Because we don't know where their base is? Their base location is irrelevant right now. It's like Asuma-Sensei said, they are after the Tailed Beasts, meaning they're after Naruto. Couple that with us now being on their hit list, they won't be far and we can kill those bastards."
Like a well timed movie cue, a crow flew into the window of Kumiko's room, carrying a bag. Asuma walked to the crow and unhooked the bag, leaving the crow who was surprisingly staying put for now. Asuma opened the bag, revealing Kumiko's Battle Morpher and Nin-Shuriken, both of which seemed much duller than normal.
"What the?" Asuma exclaimed, showing the items to the team.

"Its lost its color. Did...Did they suck the energy out of the morpher and shuriken?! This seriously doesn't look good." Davis stated as he looked at the morpher and shuriken in Asuma's hand.

"Eh?" Uryuu's expression now turned to confusion upon seeing the unusual forms of Kumiko's Battle Morpher and Nin-Shuriken. "Okay it's becoming more concerning than I thought. Does this mean it's affecting the Nexus Prism as well?"
