Author's Note: This series is not related to Blue Cloud Silver Lining Series. Well not until I feel like it. HEHE. Lets see oh yeah...the song is called "White Dove" by the soundtrack Escaflowne. Also I would like to thank my friends for supporting me for writing these interesting stories. This is the Waterstar Series, though I forgot which part, since I have bad memory of things. Well if I remember I will fix it later.
A bubble of sensation and a glowing light came to them. "Where are we?" Kai register the voice belonging to his beloved.
"I am not sure Angel." He said while curiously viewing the area. This place makes me nervous. He thought as he glanced thoughtfully at the light.
"What took you so long?" A voice boom out of the shadows startling them to pieces. A sinster pop and crackled came to their ears.
The blue galaxy ranger quickly gather Liz in his arm and try to sheild her. "Who are you?" He asked in a wary tone.
"Isn't it obvious Chien Zen? I am your friend and partner that was waiting for you all these years."
A snort came out of the air with a tinker laughter."You sure aren't doing a well job convincing them. Besides his name isn't Chien Zen anymore remember?"
The other voice started to bicker with the female voice. "Sure just because they went through the Falcon portal and pretty much got separated, doesn't mean they aren't still who they are." He said back.
Liz glance at Kai puzzled and baffled. "Um...pardon." She said unsurely, "But who is Chien Zen though his name is familiar? Also who are you guys?" Hopefully I am not going to regret my question. She thought as she peer at the shadows.
A sigh was heard and pretty much two glowing objects appeared from the shadow. Making both Kai and Liz frown in confusion, when they recognize these objects since they both play them in a concert when they were small. A Gu Zheng instrument with 15 strings attached to a board was floating in the air a blue glow vibrated around it. It had ancient marks on it's redwood board; a few cravings were present on the board with a few symbols. A Chinese violin instrument called an Er Hu glimmer with it's sleek wooden color where it had silver markings on it. It also was glowing, but in a silver color.
"Now where were we?" The voice of the female came from the Er Hu. "Oh yes that is right...my name is Akima. I am sure you are shocked that I can talk. Since you guys are not use to us at this point." A trinkle of notes came out of the instruments creating a nice breeze going through the air. The bracelets on Liz and Kai's wrist started to hum with power.
What the...? Kai thought in amazement when he felt the deep pulse of energy. But it quickly faded when the notes died.
A deep chuckle was heard from the Gu Zheng. "You had your fun Akima." The instrument started to pulse and it's 15 strings started to vibrate. "Now Chien Zen or Kai...whatever your name is now. I am Kale your partner and instrument of power. We basically grew up together well in your former life that is..."
"Former life?" Liz asked in uncertainty. "I am sorry...Akima and Kale, but how do we know you?" The blue galaxy ranger felt relieved to have his questions asked.
The Er Hu floated toward Liz and stood in a place right in front of her. "You...are reincarnations. I think that is the word to describe it in english. Well the closes we could get. Basically, your past lives, you were not originally from Earth, though you visited it in your haste to escape the Shadows."
"You see you both are the last surviving Starian's. You come from the galaxy called Andromeda. In the contents of Andromeda there is a sector called Staria. Unfortunately, your people and planet were eliminated." Kale continued for his friend and floated toward Kai. "To save you both from this. The council for the Royal family came to a decision to send the royal child away with the remaining children that survived the attack on the home world. There were ten surviving children, however they were attacked all of them and killed by Shadows."
Akima started to glow silver and a projection was shown in the middle of the dark room. A figure of people gather around a young child and a boy. They handed the Gu Zheng and Er Hu to both child, taking them into their arms. They kiss them and set them into a status pod and jettison it into space. "Your mother loved you very much. Only we both know who the royal child is and that this child would have a mate and be able to help defeat a evil that is lose." A picture of a lady with long black and red hair appeared, with a man besider her with blue and silver hair. "These are the parents that sent them away."
"Why did they send that girl with a boy?" Kai asked out of curiousity. Hey while I am here. I should get the whole story. He thought and started to feel his legs grown tired. He slowly gather his love in his arm and sat on the floor. To his immense surprise a bed pop up underneath them both.
A smug tone was heard. "You don't need to sit on the floor...this is a place where you only need to think and it appears." Kale said while started to glow blue. "Besides back to your question. The boy Kai is you...also you are the protector of the Waterstar child, also the proclaim mate."
"In other words." Akima interrupted. "You both are the Waterstar's...which means you are the predestine, chosen ones. If you want more complicated words in prophets and all that do hicky." I really hate these words. She thought as she went back to her charges and fiddle a little with her strings.
Liz was mostly quiet during all that had transpired. "So...your saying...I am the royal child?" Her eyes flashed in denial. "I think you got your strings crossed. I am just a no body. Not some weirdo Princess Leia from Star Wars." She said and felt her body trembling.
Both instruments turn to each other puzzled. "Who is Princess Leia?" They both inquired at the same time.
If hysterics were in her gene pool, Liz would have been drowning in it. This was to much information for her to comprehend. She had a father that loved her as well as a mother, though they both are dead. Denial flared in her, she couldn't be some alien from another planet. It is quite impossible to her jurisdiction, heck she couldn't even open on soda pop cap with any super power. "I am not Royalty." She answer quietly, "I am not destine to go and kill something."
Kai could feel tremors go through the petite girl next to him. He knew she was holding onto the string of logic that was barely keeping her together. Of course he had a advantage over her thanks to being a ranger. Weird in it's all sense was part of the job. Somehow he just wanted to blame this whole incident as some sort of elaborate trap of Trakeena. But this whole concept was to far fetch even for the bug queen. "What do you mean reincarnation?" He asked curious, while slowly covering his Angel's hand trying to calm her.
Kale continued knowing that his charges weren't going to be very receptive after everything they were about to be told. "Well lets see. Your previous name in China was Chien Zen, as for Liz her name was Lin Zhan. When you were sent away in the pod you somehow landed in a area on Eltar. For a short period I assure you, though both of you were quite old enough to know who you were and what you were. Not to mention, you had us to talk to you during the trip. We were your partners, your protectors, and your teachers. Of course you then got attacked on Eltar and poof you went to China. Under different names of course, since you had to fit in there."
Kai felt shock flow through his body. I am Chien Zen? I was jealous of myself... Were the realization, which dawn in his mind. He felt ashame for doubting Liz and for hurting him with his harsh kisses. He felt a hand on his hand and glanced up into the loving glance of his beloved. He heard the message in her eyes that worded. "It is not your fault."
Akima continued afterwards, "You both landed their and a nice lady named Mother Lin took you in to help you. You both hid us away scared that someone would take us away from you. You also hid the bracelet that was a gifts from the royal child's mother."
"But afterwards a Shadow found you, and you both have to flea...You both felt it necessary to form the Inta bond. Which strengthen each of your awareness and your powers together. You both decided to leave that area for it was dangerous. You then started to play us, and use your powers to transport you to the future, on Earth by using the Falcon Portal, you then both left us here in the space pocket. Which is very hard for anything to get in, but a safe haven for both of you for a short period of time. It is a emergency meeting grounds. Of course when you both open the Falcon Portal something went wrong. You both got separated..." Kale said with great mourning.
Liz felt herself go pale at those words. A flash appeared in her mind and she felt herself falling.
*~Flash Back~*
Chien Zen and Lin Zhan glanced at each other nervously. They both walked toward the light they created. Slowly they felt the light gather around them and power flowing through them.
"I love you Tian Chi." Lin Zhan said as she firmly grip her loves hand.
Chien Zen glances at her with a smile that reached his blue aqua eyes. "I love you too. My Angel." They both felt a crack in the portal and look around wildly in puzzlement.
They felt a fizzle on their wrist and glanced down to their shock they saw that the bracelet had been hit by something. It immediately flashed into one bracelet in another color. Thanks to the distortion in the energy fields. The bracelet turn pure silver with no trace of blue in it. The water started to be drain from it, it started to glow around Chien Zen's wrist and disappeared only to remain as one bracelet on Lin Zhan's wrist. "Tian Chi?" She asked in shock as she saw him pale.
"Angel..." His voice seem weaken and his wrist slipped away from hers.
Her eyes widen in fear. "Tian Chi!!" Panic filled her voice and she quickly try to grab onto his hand. Only to feel her hands pass through it. "No..." She whispered when she saw him disappear and felt a bright light over come her sense.
A cry was heard in the air and she felt coldness in her body. She glanced around the area and saw that she was alone. Her hands were small and her feet were too. Where am I? She thought.
"Congradulations Mr. Chang...it seems you have a daughter." A male voice was heard.
*~Flash Ended*~
"Liz...Liz.." She felt a shake rousing her from her trance. She blinked in confusion and glanced around the area. "Are you alright?"
"Kai?" She asked confused, "What happened?" The room stopped spinning and she was able to get a better look at him. The room now had lights and it was less dark, she could make out that it was some sort of ship hall. With faint markings on it that were in a different language.
Kai felt relief flood into him. He never felt so scared like he did when he felt Liz just faint on him. "You passed out on me..." He said hugging her close to him. "Don't you ever do that to me again." He whispered in her ear.
"I am sorry..." She said with regret that she scared him.
Kai felt his heart beat come back to normal pace. "It's okay...but I swear if you do that again I am going to turn you over my knee."
Liz glanced up at him guiltly, but a twinkle of mischief came over her. "Really...it would be fun to be over your knee." She smile smugly at Kai, after all not every one had to be afraid of the serious GSA officer. Of course she had more advantaged then the other people.
The blue galaxy ranger felt himself gap at her in shock. Kale and Akima mentally grinned and made a noise to get their attention. "Ahem..."
Both human's glanced up at the noise and realise that they weren't alone after all. A red blush stain both of their faces and they look down. "Now I see you under stand things in a way. You both were separated so your memories of what had happen were oppressed. When you two found each other again. You both had feelings that you couldn't explain at all, but of course you are not sure of it you both try to push it away." Kale stated in a matter of fact voice. Well it could be worse they could have been born as a horse.
Akima if she had eye would have gave Kale a evil glare. "At least you found each other again. Then there is hope."
Liz frowned for a second," Umm...how exactly did we get here?" At least the last time I remember. We were inside the hospital.
"You both were under attack, by the Shadow. Before you guys left you set up a plan B, which is if anything happen to either of you and you were under attack. The transporter will snarl you back into this area. Of course this is a ship, that is the last of the remaining Starian Crafts. It was by sheer luck that you two found it before you went to China." Akima explained in a practical tone.
Kai raises his eyebrow. "Practice our powers?" What in hell is that suppoes to mean? He thought while tightening his hands on Liz's arms.
"Yes you both have power. Astonishing most all Starian's do...I suppose that is why the Shadows were so afraid of them." Kale said dryly. Of course that is why they are doing a genocide of all Starian's. But are Kai and Liz still Starian, with the energy in their blood cells?
"Are we still Starian if we were reincarnated?" The petite girl besides Kai's arm asked in a wary tone. "After all...if we were born as Earthlings, we wouldn't have the blood of Starian's inside of us."
Kale felt surprised that she voiced his thoughts. "Well that is hard to say, since we don't know what the Falcon Portal did to you both. But it would be strange that the bracelet will still activate with your signature if you had no Starian blood left inside you." Akima said as she started to play her strings with the bow.
"So you mean we were teleported here by being attacked by a Shadow?" Kai asked with figet dread for his friends. Would that mean the rangers were in trouble too? He didn't like the idea of his problems affecting his friends. Especially if it put them in danger of being killed.
Akima chuckled in a grim note. "Oh yes you were. It was sheer luck that you both had activated your bracelets unconsciously. If not they would not have been able to protect you, when you got transported." A project appeared again and they say the scene of both of them asleep in the hospital bed and the Shadow appear next to them with his sword raised.
Liz gasped in startlement when the blade came down, but a burst of pure energy came out of them throwing the Shadow away and creating a residue of dust in where they were. "Oh my lord..." She said in fear of the power that was unleashed.
"That is why they are afraid of you both." Kale said dryly as he pluck a few strings and sighed. "The question now...is what do you want to do?" Both instrument tilted at a angle glancing at Liz for a direction.
The petite girl with black eyes glanced around nervously, when she saw Kai's eyes on her for direction. "Umm...why are you guys looking at me?"She didn't like their stares on her even though she knew both instruments didn't have eyes that made it easy to tell.
"Well what is your next orders?" Akima asked, it was strange that this girl who was her best friend to be so shy. When she was Lin Zhan, she had a commanding and very robust view point. Which pretty much was stubborn and droved Chien Zen up the creek.
Liz felt herself blink in shock. "Why are you asking me?" She said feeling hysterics coming up to her again. She didn't want responsibility, for crying out loud she didn't need it. "Why don't you ask Kai...?" I feel like I am in a twilight zone.
"Because...I am not the royal child..." She heard Kai said behind her, feeling herself stiffen at those words she spun around and look at him.
Licking her dry lips she glanced at him in uncertainty. "I am not the royal child..." She said in a quiet voice. "I make a bad leader...You on the other hand make a better leader Kai." It isn't right for me to be a leader of a lost race. She wasn't a alien from another planet, also the disbelief that Kai would accept it very easily was making her quite insane at this point. Perhaps I should go to a insane asylum. She thought.
Tenderness ranged through Kai as he looked at her. All of her emotions flickered across her face in a matter of seconds. The fear, uncertainty, denial, confusion, to emptiness would have brought anyone to chaos. Taking her hand into his he brought his lips to hers feeling them tremble under his kiss. Don't worry love. Everything will be fine. Since when did he let anyone have control? He felt surprised at himself, usual he was the one used to control and leadership, but when did he let himself go and for once trust another's judgement. He felt his heart beat and he knew the answer, because he was in love. Pure and simple as the new moon on the Earth skies, he should have known that he trusted her and would put his fate into her hands. After all he was her protector, though the whole alien business did put him quite off. Since Leo would probably tease the devil out of him. "I trust you...and your a great Leader Liz. It isn't hard to see why..." He said softly, feeling her gratefulness for his strength and guidence.
Akima watch the silent communication between the two. Yes it seems they are the Waterstars. She thought with pure satisfaction. Though it made her wonder what the Falcon Portal did to the bracelet.
Liz glances up around the area and frowned. "Tell me...how long can we stay here...until we are not safe? Also what exactly are our powers?" She felt more strength from Kai as he look at her encouraging.
"Lets see powers...you had back then. Well ones we know about are one...ability to move objects with mind. Two have telephatic abilities, which means you can communicate with out moving mouth. Three time traveling, by using us and your bracelets. Other then that I have no idea what else...besides those things. You guys were mostly on the run didn't have much time to practice." Kale reply grimly.
"Well at least some abilities that we don't know about. "Akima replied with a smirk in her voice. She floated over toward a door and it activated it self opening it. A bright cooridor was seen with metallic walls. "You can stay here for three months. That is how safe it would be until they detect you guys. Right now some of the Shadow's assume you are dead. However they will soon find out that you are not. So we must be prepare before that happen."
Kai look at Liz, "Will we be able to go back to Terra Venture?" He felt his gut twist a little at the thought that he may never see his friends again.
Kale floated in front of Kai. "I am afraid you can't unless you want to place them in danger as well as yourself. However nothing is impossible."
At the last words Kai felt himself perk up. He didn't see the shadow of sadness come over Liz's eyes as she watch him. Soon he will leave me...and I will once be alone like before. She thought. She felt him tug her through the door and into the hall way. After all...he never did introduce me to his friends. She sighed unhappily. Not noticing that Akima was watching her with interest.
Figuring it would be a good time to talk to her charge she announced to Kale. "Kale why don't you take Kai to his room and let him get settled in. I am sure they both are hungry at this point." Seeing that Liz didn't object to this, she felt a sense of relief that she didn't offender her best friend. Well supposedly best friend since they were both close during the trip to Eltar.
Kai felt a objection to suddenly being separated from Liz, but seeing her so quiet and that she didn't disagree. He quietly remain silently. "This way Kai..." Kale said knowning that the young man didn't want to leave Liz, but willing to comply for her sake. Kai followed Kale wordlessly, trying to keep his eyes from lingering to long on Liz. He knew she needed some time to think, especially with strange things happening in their lives.
"Lin...I mean Liz...please come with me." Akima said softly, while leading her to the opposite direction. Liz followed her meekly still in her thoughts. After a few minutes of silence the Er Hu had to talk to her charge. "Liz...you have to tell him sooner of later..."
Liz felt herself tremble a little as she walked. "Tell him what?"
"Tell him what you feel." Akima stated, she chuckled in amusement. "Here we are your room. A door hissed open and Liz cautiously peak in. To her amazement the room was furnished with a soft bed and a couch with a table. To the side was a window and decorations were on the wall. "You loved to collect stuff." Akima stated as she follow Liz into the room.
Finding herself sitting on the bed and feeling soft silver silk sheets underneath her. "This is much better then it is on Terra Venture." Feeling a puzzlement she look up. "How far is Kai's quarters?"
Akima giggled, "Oh about ten doors down...if you promise to tell. I will tell you why it is that far." The little Er Hu said while it made it self comfortable on a table that held its like it was made for it to be place their. Liz felt herself shyly nod her head. "Well you see your past lives Lin Zhan and Chien Zen had a few problems. They were growing up and when they reached the age of well teenage years. They started to feel urges by their bodies, and well..." She try not to laugh at the embarrassed flush on Liz's face. "Well lets say Chien Zen felt it best to move a little bit further away from Lin Zhan when it came to sleeping arrangements.
"Oh..." Was the only response that Liz could make from the light of facts.
Akima sighs and floated over to Liz. "I know you are confused Liz...about who you are, also some how you felt less then yourself on your stay on Earth. What happen to you Liz? What happen to make you this way?" The voice sounded sad and if possible Liz would have seen a tear creeping down the instruments eyes.
Liz cocked her head and grimanced. "I was left alone...that was what happened to me. I never felt like I could fly again after all that has happen to me." She some how felt a invisible hand on her shoulder. "I lost my father when I was seven, when I was sixteen I lost my mother. Not to mention Kai hurt me when I was small, but now I realise that was because of his family." She sighed sadly at Akima. I know he had a hard existence with his father being in the military. "So when I was seven he left...I never seen him until recently a few months. I feel sort of sad that he hid me away from his friends. I guess I still have the fear that he didn't want them to see me because I wasn't worth it."
Akima felt a pang in her strings from what this petite girl had told her. She was still Lin Zhan, but yet she was a whole new personality. "Perhaps...he was scared Liz. Perhaps his father's presence is still near him so that he can't open up as emotional as he use to."
"Perhaps...Perhaps not Akima." She felt a smile tugging her lips. "Tell me how did you get the name Akima? Also how can you be possibly able to talk?"
Akima chuckles, "It would be a pleasure to tell you things about myself my dear. But that has to be told later, since it should be good for you to change from that night gown into something much better. After all we are going to have dinner. Though of course me and Kale don't eat."
Liz chuckles in laughter. "Well it must be highly inconvinence for you since you both didn't have to eat for sometime." She frown when she felt a emotional expression from Akima. "What is wrong Akima?" She asked concern.
"It is nothing it is just that you laugh like Lin Zhan...and it is good to have you laughing again Liz."
Liz grinned shyly and glanced around the area in curiousity. "Umm...where exactly are my clothing?"
"Oppsy...sorry I forgot that you don't quite at this point remember where your things are." She led Liz to a closed panel and stopped. "Wave your hand over the panel it will open for you." Liz did what was said and to her surprise a waterstar emblem appeared in silver and the door open to show number of clothings in it. She look curious inside the area, slowly her hands reached out and pulled out a silver shirt and pants in curiousity. "This was your sleeping clothes. Perhaps I should help you out." Seeing there was no objection a uniform appeared in front of her, it was in a jumpsuit sort of structure. The waterstar emblem was on the back and it basically look like some sort of moonsuit.
Raising her eyebrows in curiousity she glanced over at Akima. "This is Lin Zhan's normal dress?" She asked in curiousity, Dude whoever I was before must have been wacked. She thought, Perhaps a weirdo dresser. She then waited for a minute and shrugged. Then again I dress weird to.
"Well yes...she found it much easy to wear not to mention it was easy to slip out of the uniform to another diguise so that she would not be captured." Akima said while waiting for Liz to finish dressing.
Liz sighed and try to figure out how to place the clothes on.
Kai felt a little depressed as he walked the opposite way following Kale. "You know you can ask her what she is feeling you know." You think this boy could hide what he is thinking. Even though he has a different up bringing and his personality may be different inside he is still Chien Zen. Kale thought with a smirk.
"I can't..." Kai said in a upset tone. I a afraid of what she was going to say.
Kale felt amusement giddy itself up in him. "Really why?" Perhaps I could knock that thick skull of his.
"Simple...I...she..." The blue galaxy ranger felt confused.
Kale shook his board and sighed, "You might be the blue galaxy ranger Kai, but you gotta remember that you have to release your emotions soon. Or else your going to lose her..." I have to play my final card.
You might lose her....you might lose her. Those words play in his head over and over again in his mind. "It is hard Kale...My father wouldn't improved of the things of me crying of day dreaming." He felt insecure and vulenerable.
"I was your well your past selfs best friends." Kale said with amusement.
Kai look up at Kale and sighed. "I love her...I don't want to lose her Kale. She is all that I have." He bit his lips in agony. "I am afraid that is something happens to her...I...well I will lose myself." He said silently in shock. Where did that come from?
"Perhaps Kai. You should tell her that, after all it came out of your mouth that you love her. Isn't love worth the sacrifice to be together?" The Gu Zheng asked as it floated toward a wall. "Well enough yacking Kai..time for you to change after all it is almost time for dinner."
Kai felt a smile touch his lips. "Yeah..she is worth it. Thanks Kale..." He walked toward the instrument and felt a tingle of familiarity in this room. Slowly he waved his hand over the panel and it shone a blue waterstar symbol. It hissed open in a matter of seconds and a closet was revealed.
Kale felt surprised that Kai remembered where his closet was at. Well well...he isn't all lost after all. The blue galaxy ranger glanced inside and picked out a blue silk shirt, he then found a black pants with it. Smiling fondly he ran his hands over it, "That was your favorite outfit...I remember when you use to drive Lin Zhan insane by wearing it."
"Insane?" Kai quiered at Kale. I wonder what he means about that?
Kale chuckled, "Buddy...she was nuts for you. The same goes for you...her green eyes use to distract your past self to no end. She never wanted you to leave her and you both were inseparatable." He sighed over the happy memories. "I find it amusing that you became a galaxy ranger. Though of course you were predicted for greatness."
Kai felt himself stiffen. How did he know? He glanced warily at the instrument.
"Oh come on Kai...did you really think you can hide things from me? I've been with you ever step and I watch you grow in this life." Kale said with amusement. "You just never saw me..."
The blue galaxy ranger dressed in the clothing and felt a tingle awareness of the cloth against his skin. "Your not going to tell Liz are you?" He didn't want to betray the trust of his friends, by telling their secrets, however he knew they would understand if he did." After all they know how much Liz was to him if they got to know her.
"No I am not going to tell Kai...but all of these secrets between the two of you are going to tear you both apart. I don't want that to happen, I care so much about the two of you." Kale said after his forced separation from his partner and charge.
Kai felt his throat tighten at those words that so rang true. "Thank you...Kale...I wish I could remember who I am." At least then I wouldn't feel like I am being torn apart.
Kale if he could would have smiled. "Kai...you are you that is who you are...no more no less. I am just glad that you are back in my life again and safe." He slowly floated toward Kai and whisles, "Nice you certainly look hot like you use to back then."
Tilting his head Kai look puzzled, "What exactly did I look like back then?" At least I would have a clue to whom the individuals looked like.
A glimmer of light appeared in front of him, a male just about his age with blue eyes glanced back at him. He was taken back at the resemblence of him in the face, the projections hair was black and had silver streaks in it, he was still in asian ethnicity and was dressed in a weird sort of clothing. It had faint markings of royal protector on it with the waterstar emblem sewed in. "This is Chien Zen." The image then begin to reform and a girl appeared in front of him. She had green eyes and long black hair, almost the same duplicate of Liz. "This is Lin Zhan." She was dressed in a silver body suit and held her body up with a sparkle of royal command in her. "She was a feisty little thing, stubborn as a mule too."
Kai felt his lips twitch, "I can see why my previous self would have been head over heels in love with her." Hell I would be, but she is a stranger to me.
"Come along Kai time for dinner." Kale said as he started to make his way to the door. "After all I know you haven't eaten for sometime." Kai's stomach growled as a response to Kale's words. Feeling a blush come over his face and the laughter from his friend, he followed diligently after Kale.
A alarm clock ranged in a agonizing loud way, waking up the Magna Defender. He sat up startled and breath in a breath to clear his head. He look around his room to see it a mess from his latest development, since the disappearance of Kai and Liz. Things had been the most hectic then it seems. "God I hate mornings." He grumbled at the thought of seeing his commander to tell him that he haven't solved what happen to Kai. It had been devasting for the other rangers. They never realised, how important Kai was to say the least, and the constant battle between them and Trakeena's forces were taking it's toll on them.
Mike try to swirl his grim thoughts to something more pleasant, but all he could think about was a certain Nurse that had a personality of a spit flower. He groan and felt his muscles tighten a little, " Jade Katelin you are not going to get under my skin." He breath to the room.
A sudden knock on his door roused him to more pressing matters. He stumbled and open the door and squinted at the person who was invading his beauty sleep. "You know you could have dressed Bro before opening the door..." His smug looking brother look back at him, but he could see the dark circles under his eyes.
"Leo what are you doing here?" Mike said in a raspy voice. This is strange Leo is up and awake already. Usually he is asleep til the afternoon.
Leo rubbed his eyes and sighed, "It's Kendrix..." He said while walking into the room. God I feel so tired and...no I won't think anymore about him. A cold chill went down his back, lately they had been busy with no rest searching for Kai battling Trakeena, their forces and resources were down since they were missing one man.
"What about Kendrix?" Mike look concern at the red galaxy ranger. I hope she is okay. Sure she was the closet to Kai and everything. He thought grimly.
His brother sighed, "She isn't getting better Mike. She is more depressed then ever, not to mention having well nightmares. I've been trying to help her, but I think they are getting worse Mike." He felt a sort of jealousy against the blue galaxy ranger, but he knew that the one he loved was only concern about her best friend. After all they confide in each other before he came, but after her reaction he couldn't help having the doubts.
Mike nodded his head tiredly. "I know Leo, but I am trying my best..." He felt his hand trembled in his hair, "I analyzed the powder it seems to be part teleportion and magic. It is strange. I never seen such a thing before."
"Just keep on working, we find out what happen to them. I just keep a eye on Kendrix and the other's. Also try to ware off Trakeena's attacks." He yawned at the last word tiredly.
The Magna Defender rub his neck and glanced at his brother. "Just go back to sleep Leo you need it. How long has it been since you went to bed?"
Leo shook his head, "Only a few days Mike...just find Kai..." He laughed a little bitter, "You know Kai use to irritate me with his whole serious demeanor. I thought he was a jerk, but I later on realise that it was just a shell on his face."
Mike smiles fondly, "Yeah...it was only way he could protect himself from feeling." He felt himself sober. "I miss him Leo."
Leo nodded his head in agreement. "So do I bro...so do I..." The Magna Defender watched the red galaxy ranger leave his quarters. Since when did his little brother get so serious? He thought with a small smile, who ever thought his brother would grow up after all his little practical jokes. But somehow he didn't want him to grow up because a lost of a teammate. No it would be too cruel on all of them. They won't lose one, they just gotta find him. He thought grimly. Yes they will find them. They will...
