Chapter 3: Heather and Monsters

(Scene switch: Office Building/Heather's POV)

After I played in the park for an hour with my mom, we went to the building that daddy works in. He'll be in for a surprise, he doesn't often see me with mom and by chance she got a day off work. We entered the building, I sat down while mom went up to the lady by the desk.

"Excuse me? Mr. Raymond?" She inquired,

"He should be on the thirteenth floor." The woman answered,

"Thank you." Mom said. So we then made our way to the elevator and mom pushed the button with the number 13 on it. We waited as the elevator went up and finally, the bell dinged when we reached the floor. I played with my ball but lost control on it and rolled into an empty office. I ran after it while mom walked over to the office door and knocked.

I stood by the window watching but daddy was taking an awful long time to answer the door. Suddenly, mom started hearing things and a bunch of black monsters came out and grabbed mom! I was helpless to do anything, so I needed to get help. I watched as the monsters took mom into the room and the door shut behind them. I ran.

"Mommy!" I raced down to the ground floor to get help.

When I got to the ground floor, I rushed to the lady behind the desk, who was on the phone. I went over to her and started explaining what I saw,

"It was on the thirteenth floor, a monster came out and grabbed my mommy." The woman stopped and put the phone against her shoulder,

"You know, there are no such things as monsters." I felt heart-broken, no one believes me. I turned away like a lost child, but then, a tall man in a black suit appeared in front of me,

"I can help you little girl." He offered his hand and I accepted it. He brought me over to the elevator and we waited for it to open. When it dinged, the door opened and then… the same monsters I saw were in front of me. The man with the glasses grabbed me and held me there, but I threw my ball at the monsters in front of me and stepped on the man's foot and I ran for my life.

(Scene switch: Through the Worm-hole/Maya's POV)

Myself and the team were still going through the Worm-hole. Geez, how long does it take to pass through one? I was on edge because worried about Kendrix and her… gods on Mirinoi would know what she would do. Even behind my helmet, Mike could read me like a book.

"Hey, you OK Maya?" He asked me,

"No, no I'm not. I'm worried about Kendrix. I'm afraid of what she could do. I know I'm her best friend but I feel… scared. I mean, if she really does vow revenge against Trakeena for killing Leo, she hurt or kill innocent people to get to her! Like, harming innocents for the pursuit of one person!",

"Maya! Maya! Calm down. I understand what's she's going through right now. We just have to get to her before she does anything rash." He soothed,

"I feel she's starting to act like the first Magna Defender, Magnus." Mike cocked his head,

"Why Magnus?",

"The first Magna Defender you know his planet was under attack, Scorpius killed his son trying to rescue him and from then on, he swore to avenge his son's death. He didn't care about the innocent and was kind of reckless in some ways." I explained,

"Oh, now I see the similarities you're coming from." He replied. I lowered my head,

"Yeah, and that what scares me the most. I can barely recognise my own friend. Kendrix' taken a turn for the worse." The Ex-Magna Defender, now Red Galaxy ranger next to me heard the pain and sadness in my voice.

"Hey! We'll stop Kendrix before she goes too far and explain to her revenge is not the answer." I nodded wordlessly and we hit accelerated on our Jet Jammers.

«Please don't do anything stupid Kendrix.» I prayed.
