SIBLINGS-IN-TIME
Tatsuya woke suddenly up, gasping: was it a dream?
He tried to breathe but he was too nervous and soaked to sleep again; feeling lonely, the young man hid his face into the pillow.
Definitely, it wasn't a dream.
His friends were really came back to their time, sucked into the spiral of time: they were living somewhere in the 31st century without him.
He missed them a lot.
He miss Shion's smiles and his weird habit of dyeing his hair, Domon's laughing, Ayase and Yuuri, he even missed Takku…
He indeed missed the whole Tomorrow Research.
Tatsuya wanted to see them again, for a last time…
But he knew it was impossible.
"Nothing is impossible, remember…"
A strange voice into his soul, so similar to Takku's, jolted Tatsuya; suddenly, he felt the heart beating faster and faster: and if there was a chance?
But how?
HOW?
"Think as Shion would do." that voice said.
Ayase left the sickbay that day, he was cured: Osiris Syndrome was only a memory, he could live, finally.
"AYASE-SAN, WAIT! WAIT!"
Shion fell on him and both of them crashed on the floor: "I'm sorry!" the younger shouted, tried to help his mate, "I'm really sorry!"; Ayase nodded: "I'm fine, don't worry." He assured, looking at his younger friend, "What's happened?" he asked.
Shion stood up: "Yuuri-san and Domon-san are waiting for us, I was searching for you, it's an official order from…" and his finger pointed up; "Why?" Ayase was curious. That situation was really weird, "I don't know, we have to go, now.".
"My, my, it's a very unusual matter of fact you are in front of us." the Headmaster said, "But the whole happening is unusual, indeed.".
"If his goal is to feel us more nervous, he's on the right way" Domon was thinking, "We haven't done nothing, yet…" TimeYellow mumbled.
"Cadets Domon, Yuuri, Ayase and Shion, you know about the Time Protection Law, right?" he suddenly asked; all of them shivered: they knew about it very well… "Aye, sir. We're the Timerangers, remember?" Yuuri replied.
"And you know what's the punishment in case of breaking of it, right?".
The four nodded again.
"Well, do you recognize this one?".
On the desk, there was a little, metal box: "TO TIMERANGERS.".
These two words frightened the four cadets.
"It was discovered during some renovations of the warehouse 11: all the exams we've done suggest that it's from the past, between 1900 and 2000 but we cannot be more precise. But I think it's from the time you fought Londarz; you have only traveled back to that time." The headmaster said, "My question, what's this and who have sent this?"
"Can we open it?" Shion asked firmly, "If we have done something wrong, we have to know about it.".
"Indeed, but we don't know what's hiding into the box, can you bear the consequences?"
"Yes, we can." Ayase replied, clenching Shion and Domon's hands, Yuuri took Shion's.
They were friends, they faced all the dangers together.
"Open it." The young woman said, she was Timeranger's leader, she was the right one to give that order.
A little laser broke the seal and the box was finally open.
The four stared, it couldn't be…
"Our Christmas Party…" Shion sighed, Ayase's eyes were tearful too, "Tomorrow Research…" the youngest sobbed, taking one of the photos were into.
Tatsuya.
"Do you know who's the sender?".
Headmaster's voice was annoying but…
"Our brother-in-time… Asami Tatsuya.".
"Time is but a pebble in my way. I'll throw it away and we'll meet again, my Siblings-In-Time."
