Time Force Delta Squad: Trapped (S2 Game)

"TAN!" Kari cried rushing over and sliding onto the ground next to the red ranger. She immediately demorphed and slammed her hands on the wound. "WE need to get him back, NOW!"

"Tanjiro...," Sojiro said as he watched Tanjiro get beaten by Stolkan and he let out a curse as he was warped back to Med Bay by Alluka.

Tanjiro growled, his hands clenching. "I didn't ask for you guys help!" he snapped. "Stolkan came after me. Next time stay out of the way!"

Sojiro looked at Tanjiro and that's when he angrily looked at the Red Ranger, "BAKA YARO!" he shouted in Japanese. "Do you honestly think we're gonna let you take on that bastard on your own? For fuck's sake, Tanjiro! We're a fucking team and here you are trying to be Mr. Perfect when we tried to tell you it's gonna get you into trouble! Come on, when are you gonna open your eyes and realize nobody's perfect? Not even you?"

"I don't give a fuck about being "Perfect", goddamn it!" Tanjiro snapped, slamming his free hand on the bed. "All I care about is killing the fucking Battalion and going home. THat is all I care about. What happens to me, I don't genuinely fucking care. But all of you have lives and shit to live for, so if I die, I don't care. So get off my ass and stay out of my fucking way, you fucking--!" He stopped, clenching his fists before he said something he'd really regret.

"And what? God, Tanjiro we're your friends for FUCK'S SAKE! We want to be there for you, but all you're doing is pushing us away! You think you have everything in control and look what happened to you!" Sojiro scolded back.

"And what? God, Tanjiro we're your friends for FUCK'S SAKE! We want to be there for you, but all you're doing is pushing us away! You think you have everything in control and look what happened to you!" Sojiro scolded back.

Alluka narrows her eyes out of anger. "Tanjiro, I told you once. I tell you twice. If you work push yourself, you will die early. Running solo will get you killed as well." She warns him. "We are here to help, whether you like or not. You are important to us and we want you here.."



After Cody helps Kari set Tanjiro to the cot, he steps back enough to let her and the doctors to tend him. "I missed a lot but the way I see. Tan, you're trying to prove yourself you can handle things yourself. Thing is you're going at it the wrong way. That’s how Stolkan get to you easily."

"No you aren't," Tanjiro said. "You aren't my friends." The room went silent, the only noise being Aiko's tools as she worked on Tanjiro's shoulder. "I was thrust into this shit, I didn't even want it but Jen wouldn't hear no for an answer. You all barely tolerate me because I'm not some Martian chick, and outside of fighting, none of you really give a shit about me. So don't even bullshit me about "we're your friends". None of you have been overly friendly until you want something. So get out of my face."

Tanjiro looked at Alluka and Cody. "I don't fucking care if I die. I don't have fuck all outside of this, so nobody'd miss me. I'll do what I want and what I think is right. IF you don't like it, tell the "Commander" and she can find a replacement." He looked at Cody and just rolled his eyes. "Stolkan came after me because he was ordered by Arianas. I didn't go fucking seeking his ass out. It wasn't something I sought out, but I still didn't ask for help. Whoever told you, I'll kick their ass."

"Circuit," Aiko said, finishing cleaning Tanjiro's wound. "The bird went off and took off, heading for Wes' office. Blame the bird."

"Tan, SHUT UP!" Kari said getting real close to him and all in his personal space. "You don't want us as friends, FINE!" She said shaking her head. "We DON'T have to be friends, but god damn it we are a fucking team like it or NOT. You are one of us, wanted or NOT. You're here so fucking deal with it." She said through semi gritted teeth. "And if you EVER call her some Martian chick again, I will make you eat every single one of your teeth. GROW THE FUCK UP!" She spat out before turning and exiting the med bay. She moved quickly for her quarters so she could was the blood of the ungrateful child off of herself. "DAMN IT!" She screamed before entering her room.

Tanjiro watched as Cody walked out after the others, looking down at his morpher. He felt Aiko finish stitching him up, and he got up, puttin his jacket back on before taking the morpher off of his wrist. He held it out to Aiko. "Find Kari and give her that." He walked out after hte doctor took it, and he walked out of the Silver Guardians headdquarters, heading for town.

As he walked, he sighed and shook his head. "I wasn't cut out for this. Today proves it. I snapped at all of them, and none of them deserved it. It's my own fault, as usual..." He walked into a cafe and sat down at a table, running his hand over his face as he grabbed the menu and looked it over.

Aiko sighed softly, looking at Tanjiro's morpher in her hand. She walked out and headed for Kari's room, biting her lip as she knocked on the Pink Ranger's door.
