Siblings Adventure

Chapter 1: Unforgettable

Andros and Karone walked down the hall towards the simudeck to get ready for any battle that would be coming at them. Andros walked over to the control panel and he pushed a few buttons. "Begin simulation," he instructed. A jungle effect appeared on the simudeck and Andros walked out there first. Karone rubbed the back of her neck and she followed him. Quantrons surrounded them and he looked over at his sister. "Ready?" He asked. She nodded.

"LET'S ROCKET!" They shouted.

"SPIRAL SABER!"

"STAR SLINGER!"

They ran separate directions, fighting the Quantrons in the simulation. Karone ducked when a Quantron went to hit her head and she fired at the Quantron's stomach, knocking it to the ground. Karone did several back flips. She put her Star Slinger away. "ASTRO BLASTER!" She shouted. She fired at a few more Quantrons before one Quantron grabbed her arm and threw her onto her back. She rolled out of the way, jumped back up, and kicked the Quantron in the back.

Andros waited patiently for his target behind a tree. He closed his eyes for a brief second and then he came out from behind the tree, attacking the Quantrons. "SPIRAL SABER BOOSTER MODE! FIRE!" He shouted. He fired at the Quantrons and watched as they hit the ground. However, the practice run was stopped when the Megaship started to rock. "Stop simulation," Andros instructed. The simulation disappeared.

"What was that?" Karone asked.

"No idea," he replied.

They took off their helmets and ran to the bridge. "Velocifighters heading this way," DECA informed. Andros pushed a few buttons after setting his helmet down.

"Main viewing screen," he instructed.

He saw the ship and his eyes widened in shock. "Darkonda!" He gasped. The ship rocked when a velocifighter shot at them. "Shields up!" Andros instructed. Karone ran over to her seat and she sat down. "Ready the Megalasers at my command," he informed.

"Megalasers on standby," Karone answered.

"Velocifighter in target range," DECA informed.
"FIRE!" Andros shouted.

Karone fired the Megalasers and it destroyed the velocifighter. "Red Ranger!" Darkonda snapped when he appeared on the screen. Andros's heart froze when he saw Darkonda. "Surrender and your ship will be safe," Darkonda instructed.

"It's not going to happen," Andros snapped.

"Then be destroyed!"

Darkonda cut the transmission and Karone looked over to see the fear in her brother's eyes. Darkonda scared the hell out of Andros after what he and Divatox did to him. "Darkonda's missiles are powering up," DECA informed.

"Karone, get us out of here," Andros instructed.

"We're retreating?" Karone asked.

"Don't argue with me just go!"

Karone turned the ship around. "DECA, maximum speed!" He instructed.

"Acknowledged," DECA answered.

They went right into light speed and Andros sighed down with a sigh. Karone stood up and she placed a hand on his shoulder, making him jump slightly. "Sorry. You okay?" She asked. Andros rubbed his forehead.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," he replied.

Karone kissed his cheek before leaving the bridge. Andros placed his head in his hands as the fear that he kept locked away for almost six months now was hitting him at full force. Seeing Darkonda again brought back all the pain he went through during the four months he was held captured.

(Flashback)

Andros hit the ground and he felt the pain shoot through his side when Darkonda kicked him. He coughed and he cried out in pain when Darkonda kicked him again and he felt one of his ribs break. He coughed again and he felt the iron taste leave his mouth. "Don't damage him too much," he heard Divatox whine.

"You'll get your chance," Darkonda snapped.

He grabbed Andros by his hair, throwing him to his feet. "Now fight me, scum," he snapped. Andros tried to raise his sword, but the pain in his side was too much for him to even hold a sword anymore. Darkonda kicked him in the chest and the young boy flew back and hit the nearest wall.


"Enough, Darkonda," Divatox hissed.

"Fine," Darkonda answered.

(End Flashback)

Andros lifted his head and he looked at the scars that were on his wrists. He felt tears press against his eyes when he thought about the torture he had went through. He sat back and he ran his fingers through his hair. He got up and he went to his quarters.

He pulled off his jacket and threw it on the chair by his bed. He took off his morpher and threw that on the dresser. He went into the bathroom to take a shower, but when he took off his shirt, he caught a glimpse of all the scars on his side and back. The whip scars being the worse memory of them all. He let out a heavy sigh as he turned the water on and he took his shower, hoping it would relax him.

When Andros came out, wearing only his boots, and pants. He walked over to his dresser and opened a drawer. He picked up a small hoop earring from the bottom. He stood in front of the mirror. He bit his lip when he held a needle up to his hear. He pushed the needle through and he hissed slightly from the small, sharp pain that went through. That was it, he put the back through the new hole in the bottom of his ear.

He went back in the bathroom and he cleaned up the small bit of blood that was there. He looked in the mirror and stared at the new earring that was in his ear. Andros grabbed his shirt and pulled it on. He grabbed his jacket and he went to see Karone.

(Engine Room)

Karone was testing the engines when Andros came in. "How does the engine look?" He asked.

"Everything's…Andros…what did you do?" She asked.

"What?"

Karone walked over and she looked at his ear. "You pierced your ear!" She gasped.

"So?" He muttered.

He climbed up the ladder and he stood on the other side of the engine. Karone ran her fingers through her short hair and she closed her eyes for a second. "Why did you do it?" She called up to him. Andros put in a few numbers in his data pad.

"Why do you think I did it?" He answered with another question.

She rubbed the back of her neck. She knew why he did it and she climbed up the ladder. Karone walked over and she took the data pad from him. "Hey!" He objected.

"Andros…" she started.

"Karone, give me back the data pad," he insisted.

"Not until you listen to me."

Andros stood there. "Andros, this has to stop," she insisted. He walked past her and climbed back down the ladder. "When are you going to stop beating yourself over what happened?" She asked.

"Until something happens that makes me forget," he replied.

"So piercing your ear will help you forget?"

"No, it marks that one year ago today, I was tortured to near death! And next year it'll happen again!"

"So you're going to do this every year forever?"

"Until something happens that'll help me heal and forget what happened to me."

He turned and left the engine room.
