There is a legend among the Sentinets. A powerful called the 5 live with them, and in exchange, helps protect them from any harm.

But then everything changed on that fateful day. That day, a young teenage girl was discovered, trudging through their empire, drenched in water and lifeless. Sage, a blue Sentient, deducted that this was the work of her twin brother and the leader of the red Sentients, Krytus.

The girl, Sage deducted, is in possession of a legendary and powerful crystal that is at least 1,000 years old. Krytus's greediness controlled him to want it to add to his power. We must be prepared for anything to come. 5! We need you all to become protectors of this girl. I shall try to bring her back to life with human procedures.

But no success came instead the crystal was activated, and she was revived. That was when romance grew between the leader, the scout, and the girl. The battle began: the battle for one life, the battle of worlds, the battle for the crystal's host, and the battle for Alana Marie Vactos.

I gasped as I woke up. My heart was racing, and my hands were clammy. A thin sheet of sweat decorated my forehead. I was sitting up.

"A battle…for me?" I wheezed," No way." I raked my hands through my messy hair tiredly and fell back.

I froze as my room melted into a different area. I wondered around, jumping whenever I heard something.

"How will we get the girl, Krytus?" A snotty rich girl voice asked. Krytus?

"Be patient, Kryas. She will come to us herself." A snake-like, tough voice answered.

I have no idea why I did this, but I walked out into the open, my common sense not taking action.

The red Sentient from my dreams stood right before me, grabbing my neck in a flash. The shortage on oxygen made me scratch at his hand like a rapid animal.

I was thrown into his chair, breaking my wrist and dislocating my right shoulder.

"Hello, Ms. Alana Marie Vactos," He sneered nastily.

Darkness began burning my sight.

"We've been waiting for you."

Waking up to find ropes, or sentient power-generated binds, restraining you to a chair was not that surprising. To me.

"Oddly enough, I have woken up to much more stranger things believe it or not." I stated. Plus, if you live under the same roof as Spinner, Vert, and Zoom then you would understand.

"How odd. You are not terrified." The snotty rich girl voice concluded.

I stared at her. "Are you a girl or a boy?" I asked simply, trying to have some fun. Okay, know what! I know that she is FEMALE, but I'm just bored! Snorts of laughter alarmed me as a vein popped up on her forehead.

"I'm female, you imbecile!" She barked.

"Well then." I snapped, playing like I was offended," No need to get bitchy with me."

Krytus roared with laughter. Once he stopped laughing, he grinned disgustingly at me. I suddenly felt sick as if my organs were tightening. Of course, in reaction, I doubled over the binds and let out a shattering scream. I closed my eyes tightly.

My chest felt scorching. My breaths came out ragged and short. A wave of sweat splashed across my forehead. Red boiling hot fingers caught my chin, tipping my head up.

Through a foggy sight, I could see the transparent head of Kryas.

"Aw… is Awana not feeling good?" Kryas mocked, tilting my head to the right in a babyish voice.

"Screw you." I managed through my pain. She smirked nastily.

"Tell me now my dear. What do you hear?" She asked slyly. I strained my hearing.

And what I heard was not pleasant.

"Screams…I-I hear…screams," I mumbled sickly. "The-they sound… so-somewhat… familiar."

I closed my eyes once again. Alana!

My eyes instinctively opened by their selves. "Vert…"His name slipped easily off my tongue and out my mouth like a thief. I slammed my foot into her stomach, and stumbled back. I fell back, still in the chair if I might add, then the binds unlocked.

Seeing Kryas in the air, I rolled from the chair, and her heel smashed down into the chair.

That's when all went wrong. Krytus, Seeker, and three other people, whose names I had forgotten, strided back, including (to my fear) with six extra bodies.

I dropped to my knees when I realize who they were: Battle Force 5.

Tears flooded my eyes. "No…" I whimper," No!"

I dash over to them, only to be held back by Seeker.

"No! Vert, Zoom! Spinner, open your eyes! Stanford, you too! Sherman-!" My voice cracked as I shrunk into hysterical sobs.

"Agura, please!" I reached out, my fingers brushing against her cheek.

I've never seen red before. Blood…pain…stop it! Fear…

"Where's Alana, Sage? She's not in her room! It's as if she never existed!"

I look over at a hysterical Bert, a scared Agura, an angry Zoom, and a concerned Sherman. Spinner and Stanford weren't present. Sage looked grim.

"Krytus might have taken her when we all were asleep." She stated.

"Then we should get her back!" Zoom suggested.

"I don't think that would be very smart, Zoom," Sherman cleared his throat nervously."We all know that you and Vert love Alana, but Krytus may want that." Don't come, Zoom.

"I agree with Sherman, Zoom." Agura agreed. "But Vert, what do you think?"

"We need a plan."Vert replied.

Then words played in my head: Romance grew between the leader, the scout, and the girl.

All this…this all happened long ago. No, wait, it's more like its repeating itself. Then that means… I am the host of the sentient crystal? No, frickin' way!

"Nice to know that you realize your true origins."

I looked over my shoulder at Krytus. I looked back at my dream.

"How long ago?" I asked quietly.

"Almost a hundred years ago. You may not realize it, but you, the leader, and the scout were having an love affair the whole time." Krytus answered.

I swerved around on my heel, and gazed at him, aghast. He smirked amusingly back.

Then I was back to reality.

I blinked my eyes twice. "Where…?" I murmured to myself.

"Hey sweet cheeks." I looked behind me to see Dark Battle Force 5. Dark Vert grinned cockily at me.

"You." I snarled, and looked away.

My friends were badly injured (possibly dead), my life is freakin' hell hole, I'm a host for a crystal, and now I'm stuck with them. Great, just great.

I brought my legs to my chest, resting my head on my knees. Jack, my missing older brother, was right. They were bony.

"We saw our goody-goody sides. They looked pretty screwed. Well, who cares now? You got us to with you. Forget them, and be with us." Dark Zoom said.

I snapped.

I shot towards him in a cyan flash, and socked him.

"Listen, you! Better freaking watch what you say about them! They were way better then you guys as company!" I snarled," I'd rather die than be with you six! You are the WORST! I can't believe how inconsiderate, cold-blooded, heartless you ARE!"

Dark Zoom's lips turned up into a smirk. "How kind of you to point out all of my good traits!" He replied.

But his eyes showed the same determination as Zoom's eyes had. It made me choke on my sobs, and I broke down crying to his warmth. I cried myself to my sleep.

I groaned with pain, remembering Krytus and his friend's ambush on us. We went to save Alana once we had her location pin-pointed. But all did not go so well clearly.

Vert's left eye was cut, his right arm was broken and cut up, his left hip was lashed at and it only made his condition worse. He could possibly die.

Stanford's left leg was broken, his face cut with only two, his right arm had a huge gash and wrist was broken, his back had a long slice going down it.

Spinner had a broken ankle, an injured arm, a concussion, and a small cut on the bridge of his nose.

Sherman was the second worst than I. His wounds were indescribably life-threatening. Every bit of his body was bloody and cut.

Agura had a concussion, a broken ankle, torn up right forearm, fractured jaw, and I think a gash on her left thigh.

But I, Zoom Takazumi, was the worst them all. A broken jaw, a broken arm, a concussion, a sprained ankle, a cut on my stomach, another cut on my left hip bone, and more.

And as I lie here dying, I can only think about the girl I love, Alana.

Everything was cold and numb. Early was nothing but a huge red blur. I numbly move to look at Zoom.

I can't do anything at all to help him. Him and Sherman were both dangerously close to dying, and as I lied here, he was dying.

I opened my mouth to try and speak, but nothing came out. I stopped trying, and began to cry. Zoom looked at me, pale and barely hanging on. His eyes showed he was thinking about Alana.

"Hey, Vert. I guess I can't show you my new move." He stated. I cracked a resentful smile. He smiled weakly back.

His eyes momentarily closed but reopened. "C...can you tell... Alan...a...that...I... love...her...and that...I'm...sor...ry..." He pleaded, tears pooling his eyes and his voice cracking repeatedly. I didn't respond for I was shocked that Zoom Takazumi was giving up.

Zoom's eyes fluttered closed, his chest slowly halting.

"No." I said with my discovered voice."No, Zoom...! Y-you can't! I swear-!" I pause, grabbing his collar and yanking his face close to mine."-if you die on Alana, Zoom, I'll never forgive you! Zoom-!"

I sobbed, releasing his collar go.

I'm so sorry, Alana.

The heavy feeling of grief upon my shoulders woke me up. I could clarify the quiet seething of Dark Battle Force 5 as I rested Dark Zoom's body.

I tuned them out for a second to try and cry, but apparently I even cried during my sleep.

"Zoom's dead." I declared lifelessly.

"We know." Dark Agura replied," We're sorry for your loss."

"We all have to go sometime." I replied back wisely.

And as if on cue, I bursted out sobbing. I had always loved Zoom, don't get me wrong. But I also loved Vert as well. But now that Zoom was dead, it won't be the same anymore. Dark Agura grabbed my hand, Dark Zoom wrapped his arms around my waist, Dark Vert placed his hand on my head, Dark Spinner and Dark Sherman both placed their hands on my back, and Dark Standford grabbed my other hand. They all were my comfort right now. They also knew where to grab and comfort me at... just like Battle Force 5 knew.

"I loved Zoom so much! It won't be the same! It'll never be the same!" I let hysteria consume me.

Dark Agura squeezed my hand comfortingly. "Don't worry, Alana. We'll get you there." She said, and I lifted my head to look at her. I smiled at her.

"Thank you."
