Summers' P.O.V

I landed on Dolce as Abila collected her soldiers, she took them to the ruins on Renbow Island, these places have weird names, looking to the sky I told my men to hide, that Ranger Boy was flying over us, they did as told as I watched him follow Abila, he must have caught sight of her soldiers, let her be safe.

"Ok listen up," I said turning to my men, each one of them scattered out of the bushes, lining up in a single file, "We only have a week to search these islands and get the Puzzle Pieces, I don't want any delays, the best places to look are the Ruins, which General Abila has gone to on Renbow Island, there are more Ruins near Tilt Village, where we will look after that, the other place to look is here on Dolce Island, look for anything that could possibly be hiding something, and search it, now any questions?" I looked around to my men, none of them had any questions, "Good, now move out," I ordered, with that my men ran around the Island like crazy looking for things that could possibly hide a Puzzle Piece.

We were an hour into looking, reports often came back with the soldiers saying they hadn't found any, this was beginning to get frustrating, hopefully the next report would be good news.

"General Oris ma'am," one of my top soldiers said, I looked at him.

"What is it soldier?" I asked, I hated having to do this; the words were so icky, like I was part of an actual army that went into battle.

"We have reports of a Ranger being seen on the Island," he said, I looked at him.

"One in blue?" I asked, he shook his head.

"No ma'am, one in the normal Ranger uniform, the black and red one," he said, I nodded.

"Get the men nearest to him to try and lead him away from where we're investigating," I ordered, the soldier nodded.

"Oh and General Oris, you might want to come see this," he said, I followed him to a hallowed out tree, along the way he ordered people to lead the other Ranger away, I looked at the tree.

"Search it, inside and out, don't leave anything investigated," I ordered, my team nodded, another half hour went passed until one of the men gasped.

"General Oris, we've found it," they said, I looked into the tree as they began pulling it out, it was bigger than the other piece we found, I narrowed my eyes as I brushed dirt off of it.

"HOLD IT!" a deep manly voice yelled, everyone turned and gasped, I didn't need to turn to know it was a Ranger, "Who are you and what do you want with that?" this time I turned to see him looking confusedly at the Puzzle Piece, I smirked as I held my hand out in front of my.

"Metagross," I said as the pokemon emerged from the black circle, I smirked as the Ranger stared silent at it, but I didn't order the pokemon to attack, "I think it's only fair, I'll answer your questions but first answer me this," I said as I looked at the older Ranger in front of me, he looked nothing like Ben, for starters there was the uniform, the 'traditional' black and red, then he was older and had black hair, "Who are you?" I asked, the man looked at me confused.

"My name's Rand, I'm the Area Ranger here in Oblivia, now who are you and what do you want?" he asked, I tutted as I licked my dry lips.

"My, my straight to the point you are, well if you must know, I'm General Oris, these are my soldiers and we're going to take over the world, now riddle me this Rand," I said as I walked closer to him, "If a Ranger's stabbed and killed with no one around, do people hear the sound?" I asked, Rands' eyes shot wide open as I jumped back, "METAGROSS ATTACK!" I yelled, the pokemon attacked without hesitation, I didn't stick around to watch the Ranger catch it, instead I ordered everyone to get the Puzzle Piece and take it to our hide out in the forest on Renbow Island.

Looking back I saw that Rand had caught the pokemon and was now looking around confusedly for us, I smirked as I looked back to the air in front of me, I had a bad feeling something had happened to Abila.


Abilas' P.O.V

We were half way through getting the Puzzle Piece out when that Ranger Boy, Ben, showed his face, I told my men to carry on as I use a Tyranitar to attack Ben with, the boy caught it with ease. I looked back to see that my men still hadn't gotten the Puzzle Piece out of the ground.

"It's over, give up and I'll go easy on you," Ben said, he walked closer, I whipped my knife out.

"Not another step," I said, I wasn't as skilled as Oris was in this kind of situation, my men looked at me in fear, but I shrugged them off, I needed to do this, we needed that Puzzle Piece, I wasn't going to let this Ranger get his hands on it, no matter what.

"Great, look we don't need to do this," Ben said as he walked closer, with that I went for him, he dodged with ease as I rounded my foot to kick him, he caught it and pushed me onto the ground. I got up quickly as I ran towards him, punching the air rapidly, but not managing to land a hit on him. I saw my knife on the floor; I skidded to it, picked it up and went to attacking with that, it still wasn't working.

I looked back at my men, they had almost gotten the Puzzle Piece out, a punch to the gut brought me back to reality, I gasped as I tried to take in breath, the bastard had just winded me.

'When someone winds you, just breath out, let the air out of your lungs then breath it back in,' Oris' voice filled my head, I did just that, I breathed out letting the air out, then back in, refilling my lungs, I reached for my knife, but Ben had already grabbed it.

I growled at him, I launched for him again, the sound of a Hoverboard was heard nearby, looks like Oris was coming to check on us. Then everything happened in a flash, I punched, I kicked, I carried on punching and kicking, but then I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, I heard the machine behind me stop as I moved back, gasps were heard from the soldiers, the Ranger had just stabbed me.

I looked at him, he backed up quickly, dropping the knife in the process, I looked at the sky, Oris was hovering on her board, her face full of horror, while her eyes held only angry, I smiled a little at her, before I began to see dark spots in my vision, then it all turned black.


Bens' P.O.V

I stared in horror at what I had just done, I had just stabbed someone, sure they were on the opposite team to me, but that gave me no right. I don't know why I did it, it just…..happened. What do I do now?

"Take General Abila back to Almia, get her treated and get her treated quickly," I heard Oris order to Abilas' team, well some of them anyway, she held her hand out as a black circle appeared, like when Abila summoned Tyranitar, fifteen of the twenty-five soldiers stepped through it, "You ten, get that Puzzle Piece back to our base in this Region," she added, the team nodded as they took the Puzzle Piece, I was still too out of it to do anything, then Oris turned to me.

She walked closer and closer, she stood in front of me, a moment of silence. A moment. It was like an eternity. Her head was down, her hand shot back, then forwards as she punched me, I fell to the ground, I grunt of pain escaped my mouth, I didn't fight back, I had done the unthinkable, a Ranger would never do something like what I had just done.

I looked at Oris, tears threatened to spill from her eyes, I looked in shock and confusion, people in teams like Team Darkness were just that, members, nothing more, nothing less.

"If she's dead," Oris whispered, "I will kill you," she said as she looked up, the tears flowed from her eyes now as she punched and kicked me over and over again.

"She's like a sister to me, how could you do something like that?" she asked, I looked at her, then I remembered, Team Darkness killed people, injured them, so why do I care about what I did to her?

"What do I care?" I asked, Oris watched me as I stood to my feet, "You injure people all the time, you've killed people before, getting rid of one of you won't help anyone in this world," I said, another punched, a twist of my arm, a snap of a bone, a whimper of came, a sob a sadness.

"We don't," Oris whispered, "We don't kill people, Abila is a gentle soul, and I would never dream of killing someone," she declared, I looked at her, I was in so much pain at this moment, but I wouldn't cry like she was, she let go of my arm as she fell to her knees, "She's like family," she hugged herself, "You've just taken her away from me, she was the only thing that kept me from actually killing people," she explained, I looked at her, Oris looked back at me, her eyes began hard as she stood, she walked over to me, one last punch to my face sent me into total darkness.


Oris' P.O.V

I rode back on my Honverboard, with an unconscious Ranger behind me, I felt like killing him, but I knew I wouldn't be able to do it, no matter how hard things got, I wasn't a murderer, never was, never will be.

I landed in front of a cabin in the woods, opening the door I found a trapped door near the sofa, opening that, I walked down, the underground was a lot bigger. There were about five soldiers there at the moment, I looked at them, the Puzzle Pieces were also there.

"Where are the others?" I asked, one of the soldiers looked up, she smiled at me.

"They've gone to Daybreak Ruins to find the final Puzzle Piece, we knew you wouldn't want to go," she explained, I nodded my head.

"Get some rope, hand cuffs, something to tie him up with," I ordered, the five nodded as they went to retrieve some rope and something to gag Ben with, once they were out of the room, I looked at his beaten and bloody form, his arm was broke, that was for sure, he would be in immense pain when he woke up.

No longer then five minutes later did the five return, they handed me the rope as I tied him up, not to tight but tight enough so he wouldn't get out, I looked around, I was sure this guy had a partner pokemon.

As if on cue, something fell from the ceiling yelling as it landed on my head, a wave of electricity went through me, I jumped and groaned once it stopped, but then it started again, I grabbed the yellow thing and threw it to the wall, I glared at the pokemon with hatred in my eyes. I grabbed the little yellow thing and tied it up as well, tighter than I did with Ben.

"General, has there been any news about Abila?" one of the five asked, I turned my head slightly.

"No," was all I answered with, Bens' styler then began to ring, I pulled it off his arm and clicked the receive call button.

"Ben, this is Rythmi," the girl with blond hair said, stood behind her was Kate and Keith, "Have you…." She trailed off once she saw me looking at them.

"Ben can't come to the phone right now, he's a little tied up," I said, Keith and Kate both growled at me.

"What did you do to him?" Kate asked, I growled.

"Nothing yet, but if Abila's dead because of him you won't be getting your Ranger Boy back alive," I snapped, the three looked at me in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" Keith asked, I rolled my eyes.

"Do I have to spell it out for you?" I asked, "Ben stabbed Abila, Abila's dying and if she dies, he will," I answered, I turned the styler to Ben, three gasps came.

"Let him go," Keith said, I smirked at him.

"Not. A. Chance." I said as I glared at them all, they shivered.

"General, we've found the third Puzzle Piece," a new voice said as some grunting was heard.

"Gotta go Rangers, see you soon," I said as I ended the transmission, I turned to the others that had just come in, I nodded to them.

"Great, let's head back," I said as I opened another black portal, all forty soldiers did their part as they each went to a Puzzle Piece, they picked it up and walked through the portal, I grabbed Ben and his partner as I dragged them through the portal. We ended up in Blazes' office.

"I see the portal on the device works well," he said as he turned in his chair, everyone else went out of the room after bowing their respects to our leader, I nodded my head.

"The three Puzzle Pieces from Oblivia are here," I said as Blaze inspected the tablets, he nodded at every one of them.

"I see there was a problem," he pointed out, I looked at Ben, then Blaze, then thought of Abila, my eyes glazed over with tears, "Abila is fine, she's in recovery, we got to her before she bled to death," he added, my head shot up, I smiled slightly at him.

"Thank you for that," I said to Blaze, he nodded his head.

"We'll have to get his arm sorted out, we can't have him screaming every time we touch him or drag him," he said, I nodded as a nurse came to take Ben away, along with some other soldiers, "Put him in one of the holding cells until we figure out what to do with him," Blaze ordered, the soldiers nodded before walking out, he then turned to me.

"I'm impressed beyond reason," he said, "I gave you a week, I didn't expected you to use up the whole week," he said, I shook my head.

"We split up to locate the tablets," I explained, Blaze nodded.

"That explains why Abila was stabbed," he said, I sighed.

"We found the tablet earlier then I thought we would, I went straight to help her, but the Ranger had already stabbed her," I explained, Blaze nodded his head.

"I understand, from now on I will send you out with either Ace, Kardar, Zion or Anthea," he said, I nodded my head, "I'm afraid Abila is too fragile at the moment," he added, he then stood up, he walked over to me before his hand struck me across the face, "I sent the both of you to watch out for each other, I didn't say split up and get the other killed did I?" he asked, I shook my head as I looked at him.

"No," I answered, Blaze glared at me.

"The next time I send you with someone, stay with them, do not split up," he ordered, I sighed as I nodded again, "Getting passed this, how were the Dark Gadgets?" he asked, I looked at him.

"They were fine, they don't allow us to summon any legendry pokemon, but they allow us to summon strong pokemon," I explained, Blaze nodded his head.

"Good, now listen we have five of these Pieces left to find, once we've done that, we'll be able to take over this world, I do not want anyone else injured or anyone killed on this mission, now leave, I'll give the soldiers the Dark Gadgets next meeting," he said, I nodded as I began to walk out the room, "And Oris," he called, I looked back, "You're in charge of guarding that Ranger for now," with that Blaze turned back to his paper work and I walked out of his office.

Once in the hall I thought everything over, we have five left to find, three in Fiore, two more here in Almia, I gritted my teeth as I ran down the halls to Abilas' room, ignoring everyone who said 'hey' or 'hi' along the way.

I came to Abilas' room a few minutes later, I opened the door to see her sat up on her bed, she looked at me.

"Hey Oris, how're you?" she asked, I looked at her.

"You're the one who got stabbed, and you're asking how I am?" I asked her, she only smiled at me; I laughed a little as I hugged her.

"I saw the doctor take care of that Rangers' arm, it was broken pretty badly, you didn't have anything to do with it did you?" she asked me, I laughed awkwardly.

"Maybe," I answered, Abila gave me a knowing look, I sighed, "Ok, yes I did it, but he had it coming," I defended.

"He didn't know what he was doing," Abila tried to reason, I looked at her.

"Why are you defending him?" I asked, Abila sighed.

"I saw the way he looked at us in the sky, you saw it too, he's not the kind of person who would do something like that, you know it, I know it, the what do you call it? Ranger Union knows it, Oris, he didn't mean to do this," she said, I looked at her, then nodded my head.

"I know he didn't," I sighed as I looked at her, "I've got to go guard him, I'll talk to you latter," I said, Abila smiled.

"Keep smiling Oris, always smile," she said, I nodded as I smiled at her before walking out the door, I spoke to the doctor as he told me where they had taken Ben, the two that were guarding him left once they saw me come, looks like Blaze had told them already. I grabbed my master key from my pocket as I opened the door, I looked around, the Pichu was untied, once it saw me it growled, its cheeks sparked with electricity.

"Pichu," a weak voice came, "Don't," it said again, I looked around, the room was dark, making it almost impossible to see, I turned the light on, the Pichu was sat in Bens' lap, his arm was in a cast as he had bandages around him arms and legs, I looked at him in shock.

"Come to give me another beating?" he asked, I looked at his face, his lip was split, his left cheek was cut, while his right was bruised, he also had a bruise forming around his left eye, I gulped a little, "Make it quick if you are, I'd stand," he looked at him legs then the hand cuffs that kept him attached to a pipe, "but I'm a little strung up," he said as he tried to laugh, he just ended up coughing, I frowned, this was my fault.

I walked over to a nearby sink they had in the room, every room in our hideout had one, I filled a glass with water as I held it in front of his face. Ben looked at me sceptically, I frowned a little.

"S'only water," I said, Ben looked at me with a knowing look, "It's not poisoned," I growled at him, Ben laughed a little.

"Never said it was," his voice came out horse, I looked at him, his arm that wasn't broken was chained to the pipe, I sighed as I held the glass of water to his mouth, he eagerly drank it, I smiled a little at him.

"Thanks," he said, his voice sounding better, I nodded as I placed the glass in the sink, "Er, is Abila, you know," he trailed off, I smiled softly.

"Abila is in recovery," I said, Bens' head shot up, he looked at me, a smile on his face.

"Good," he said, I cocked a brow, "I don't know what I did, I just ended up stabbing her, I don't know why," he looked at me, his eyes burned into mine, "I didn't mean what I said back there either, I swear, I don't know what came over me," he said, I walked towards him, I sat down on his left.

"Don't mention it, I'm kinda used to hard words being said," I answered, Ben looked at me.

"Your cheek," he said, I placed my hand on my, now bruising, cheek.

"It's nothing," I said quickly, Ben frowned.

"You get abused here," he said, I shook my head.

"Only when I do something wrong," I answered, Ben frowned at me.

"It doesn't matter, you shouldn't get abused at all," he said, I looked at him.

"Are you gonna feed me that 'you're better than this' crap?" I asked him, Ben frowned a little.

"It's not crap Oris, you are better than this, you can still get out of it," he said, I sighed.

"Even if I could, where am I meant to go?" I asked.

"Your family," he said, my eyes closed, the mention of them brought tears to my eyes, "Or don't you have a family," he said, I sighed as I opened my eyes, tears still evident in them.

"I have a father and a brother, but once I told them I was joining Team Darkness, they said if I ever showed my face near them again, they would kill me, my mother died a long time ago, I hardly remember her," I admitted, I heard Ben sigh.

"You could come to the Union, we'll help you get on your feet," he said, his Pichu growled at that, "Pichu, don't be impolite," Ben said, Pichu gave him a disbelieving look.

"Yeah, like they'd help me after what I've done to you," I muttered, "Why do you even talk to me after what I've done to you? Why aren't you yelling or screaming at me?" I asked him, Ben looked at me.

"Because," he said, I looked at him, "Violence is never the answer," he answered, I looked at him, then thought about my team, Blaze, my friends here but most of all, I thought about what Abila would do if I left, we were like family, two sisters separated at birth, we got along so well.

A ringing noise brought me back to reality, I looked at Ben, who was looking at his styler, I reached over and took it off his arm, he looked at me, I pressed the answer button.

"Ben," Rythmi started, "Oris," she answered, I looked at her, then Ben, knowing he had told them my name.

"Where is Ben?" Erma asked, Hastings was stood next to her, with a fuming Kate, Keith, Wendy and Sven, then a blond guy with a mushroom haircut, I recognised him from the papers as Isaac, I only looked at them. I turned the styler to face Ben, who was giving me a confused look.

"What?" I asked him, "I'm not all bad," I said, Ben nodded his head.

"Hey guys," he said, "what's up?" he asked, I rolled my eyes.

"Ben, where are you?" Keith asked.

"We'll kick Team Darkness' asses," Kate said.

"Hang in there man," Sven said.

"You look awful," Wendy said.

"Now calm down everyone, Ben are you ok?" Erma asked, I looked over Bens' shoulder at them, then snickered a little, Ben looked at me, then them.

"I'm fine, don't worry about it," he answered, Erma narrowed her eyes.

"Are you saying that because she's holding something to the back of your head?" Erma asked, I looked at Ben.

"I didn't know I was allowed to do that, hold on, lemme get a gun," I said as I began to stand up, I heard the others gasp, I rolled my eyes as I sat down, styler still in my hand, "Relax I'm kidding," I said, Ben only shook his head at me.

"Why are you with Ben?" Hastings asked, I looked at him.

"Well, he's a little tied up right now," I said as I moved the styler to show his chained hand and his broken arm, more gasps came from the screen.

"What did you do to him?" Wendy asked, I growled.

"Think of yourselves lucky he's not dead," I shot back at them, these guys were pissing me off, Ben frowned a little.

"Look I'll find a way out of here guys, so I'll see you soon," he said as he nodded, everyone gave him a concerned look but nodded their heads; I turned the styler off after that, then slumped against the wall.

"What's wrong?" he asked, I looked at him.

"Nothing," I muttered, Ben cocked a brow.

"I may not know you that well, but I know something's wrong," he said, then sighed, "I don't get it, you were nice to me before they tried to get in contact, then you went all mad and defensive again," he said to me, I smiled a little.

"I have an image to keep up to you Rangers," I said, Ben tried, but failed, to move closer to me.

"Then why aren't you a bitch around me?" he asked, I sighed.

"Because you already know me, well it seems like you do," I said as I closed my eyes, it was getting late, I wouldn't be allowed to leave for my room to sleep considering I have to keep an eye on Ben.

"You tired?" he asked, I nodded as I laid on the floor, I moved my head a little so it was resting in his lap, I sighed, I didn't even know why I was doing this, but he didn't push me off, he smiled and allowed me to stay in his lap, I smiled at him as I closed my eyes drifting into a deep sleep.


Normal P.O.V

Everyone at the Ranger Union was looking around frantically trying to figure out what to do. Kate was worrying, almost crying, Keith was punching a wall, Sven was trying to remain calm, Wendy was comforting Kate, while Rythmi was trying to get Bens' signal back onto the screen, to no avail either.

"All right, Rangers' up and centre," Erma called, in a flash everyone was in the middle of the room, minus Keith who was still hitting the wall, Kate had to drag him over.

"We have a new mission, I want two of you to go undercover as Team Darkness newbies, find Ben and bring him home, but to do that you'll need to find two of the Team Darkness members and take their uniforms, I know we don't usually do this kind of thing, but we need Ben back, he knows the most about this new team, so hurry," Erma ordered, everyone nodded as they ran out the Union, Sven and Wendy decided to let Kate and Keith go under cover, as they would look more the part, the hard part was finding two Team Darkness members and taking their uniform, not to mention they still didn't know where their hideout was, or did they?

The four Rangers sighed as they decided to call it a night, not one of them had seen a Team Darkness member that night, but they were unaware that Team Darkness were closer to the Union then they thought.


Chapter four done, I hope you all liked it, I worked really hard on this one, so please REVIEW :D
