Disclaimer: See chapter one.

And here's chapter two. Not much to it, but it's a chapter all the same. I will get to where June meets the Toa for the first time, but I want to go through some random days with you and explain how she got lost in flashbacks. Things will pick up as I continue. Also, you'll get to see Nebs for the first time and the relationship he and June had. Should I bring him back? Or would you rather June have a new relationship? I'll leave that up to you.

But for now, on with the story!

"Alright Lewa I think I got enough fruit to last me a while. Thanks again for the help." June said as she hefted the bag up higher on her shoulder. "I'll see you around later." With that said, she spread her wings wide and got ready to take flight.

"June...is anything wrong-bad?"

Freezing in mid-flap, June slowly folded her wings then turned around to face Lewa, a neutral expression on her face. "What do you mean Lewa? Nothing's wrong, I'm perfectly fine."

"No, you're not...I can tell when you highfly. You don't lift your wingtips anymore."

Blinking in surprise, June just stayed silent and stared back at Lewa. He reminded her so much of Micka, always so happy and carefree...it was kind of hard to remember that he was a fighter. A protector of the Matoran. It made her wonder how much Micka would have changed...would she still have her childlike personality, or would the life of a Jumper have hardened her? Quickly blinking away her tears, June shook her head and turned away again. "It's nothing Lewa, really."

"I heart-swear not to tell anyone..."

Smiling sadly, June shook her head then opened her wings again. "I know Lewa, but it's a bit past-late for anything to be done now." And with that she took off into the sky, Lewa watching her as she left.

He continued to stare after her until she was nothing but a black speck in the sky, his heartlight aching for her. "It's not-never past-late sister June." Quickly taking off himself, Lewa headed towards his village while thinking of a plan that would help cheer June up.

Meanwhile, unknowing to either of them, a pair of glowing red eyes stared at them from the shadows.

'So, it seems the flyer has some darkness in her heart after all. If I can get the Toa out of the way for even a second I could use their friendship against them...their unity will fall and I will rule this land in shadows.'

Chucking lowly, Makuta vanished from view. He had a plan to put into motion and the sooner he put said plan into motion, the worse off the Toa would be.

XxX

June walked over to the area Neb had slept in, spotting him fairly quickly among the tan and brown rocks. Moving quietly, she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly, chuckling when he jerked. "Good morning...I heard Micka woke you up too."

"Eh, she's just being herself...no worries hun." Kissing her cheek, he turned back to several maps spread out in front of him. "From what base sent us, the next world will be a mild one. No wars or monsters to deal with...I really hope this will be the last one we go to before our team can retire."

Nodding her head in agreement, June looked over the maps with him. "I know what you mean...but Jumper teams rarely retire when there's still so many of us left...the best we can hope for is that we find a world where we'll be welcomed and live out our lives in peace."

"Be honest June, what are the chances of that happening? Base is going to use us until they don't have anymore worlds to send us to...but there's no way in hell I'm gonna loose anymore of you guys." He nuzzled his face against her neck as he said this, his fog like hair tickling her ear as he did so. "I still plan to make you mine after all of this is done."

"Shhh! Be quiet you, Micka could be right around the corner knowing her."

"What? Worried she's gonna tell the others about us?" He grinned wickedly at that, his black teeth a contrast to his mistlike form. "Let them know you're off-limits to anyone but me. I swore I would be the only man to ever touch you, that you would be the one to have my children." He kissed her on the lips now, slipping one hand to rub the sensitive spot between her wings.

"You are mine June, for so long as I breath, you are mine."

And there you have it people! Hmmm...looks like Lewa's picking up on how June's feeling...wonder who will pick up on it next. And what does Makuta have planned? That's a chapter for another day.

Remember! Reading + Reviewing equals one happy Deadly Fangs!
