Chapter Eight: Sky's New Hope
Note: This chapter will feature a little get together featuring Miranda, her best friend Destany, Bridge, Syd, and Sky. Sorry all but Z won't be there. Only those pivotal to the chapter will be involved. No Z. Sorry.
The next day Sky and Syd sat in their quarters Sky still pissed about the decision Cruger had made. "How could he know about an
invasion and not tell us. And then there's Miranda. How can we trust her if she won't tell us what we need to know." Sky complained
to his girlfriend as he sat in his desk chair looking at Syd. "Because you don't NEED to know." A voice said from his door. Sky turned
and saw Miranda and Bridge standing with two other unfamiliar people. "Miranda who are they and who gave you authority to let them
gallivant through the halls of SPD Academy." Sky asked furiously. "This is Maxwell Oliver, son of Tommy and Kim Oliver and I am
Destany Dickson, my father is second in command of Time Force. In other words I gave authorization. Miranda said we may need to
have a chat." Destany told Sky. "I guess. Is it about the invasion?" Sky asked. "One we…" pointing to Max, Miranda, and herself. "…
will take care of that. It is none of your concern. It is a problem beyond the abilities of SPD to help." Destany told him flatly. "Beyond
SPD? Nothing is beyond SPD." Sky stated proudly. "You are as naïve and arrogant as my father was when he faced Emrass. Well
guess what, he was more powerful and still lost. "Your attitude is one reason you didn't get the hybrid technology, I suggest you change
it." Destany told Sky. Sky lowered his head before speaking again. "What could be so powerful it is beyond SPD?" Sky asked the
young woman who looked to be no older than eighteen. "SPD is advanced. But you are a police force. Trained as police. These two
are Ninjetti. Trained by the best with powers far beyond your technology. As for me. I am a Shadow Imperial; my natural power is far
beyond yours. I am also a Black Knight. A power created ten-thousand years ago in the dimension of lost souls, Niflheim. This matter is
for the imperial family and Ninjetti. It is unlikely we will fail, but if we do then Shadow Force will pick up the fight. Besides I sense you
may have another reason to stay out of harms way. To continue your job yet stay out of EXTREME danger." Sky looked at Destany
quizzically for a moment. "And that would be?" Sky asked Destany. Destany just smiled at Sky before leaving. "You can discuss it later,
but I think that tough guy image is about to lesson…a lot." Sky once again looked at her, now more confused than before. "As a parting
gift I offer pre-mature congratulations. We will see each other again I'm sure the next time I visit." Destany told Sky before turning to
Miranda and Bridge. "You two ready to go eat?" Destany asked them. "Hell yea. Let's go!" Miranda yelled pulling Bridge by the arm
as Destany chuckled at her best friend before she mouthed back at Syd with a grin. "They in love." causing Syd to chuckle. Even Sky
couldn't resist to get a grin at how businesslike the girl was one minute and how childish she was the next. "She was interesting." Sky
chirped obviously amused. "But she was right. And if that mission is in the next year I couldn't join you anyway." Syd told him. "Sky's
look went from amused to concerned in a matter of milliseconds. "Why what's wrong?" he asked his girlfriend as he moved to the end
of the bed beside her and took her hand. "Sky, I'm pregnant." Syd told him. Sky's eyes widened and he fell backward onto the floor
and landed on the back of his shoulders and neck. He had fainted right off the bed. Syd preceded to grab her morpher and call Dr.
Manx. "Kat I told Sky and he fainted and he hit his head on the floor and…" Syd was cut off from her frantic babbling by Kat. "Syd
calm down I'm on my way." Kat told her.
Kat arrived less than a minute later and he was put on a stretcher and taken to the infirmary. After a few test Kat came with the
prognosis. "A bump on the head and a sprained neck. No combat for a week and two days in a brace when he wakes up." Kat told
Syd. "So how did he take the news?" Kat asked Syd. "He fainted; fell off the bed, now he is there." Kat had to laugh at Sky's reaction.
"All the battles he has been in here several times but the worst comes when he is told he is going to be a dad. That boy has is so much
like his dad." Kat told Syd. "You knew Mr. Collins?" Syd asked and her attention was now peeked. "I was hired by Wes to work at
Bio-Lab. Everyone called him Wes. He hated being called Mr. Collins. It was too formal. Alec Collins, Wes' dad was the one called
Mr. Collins. Wes thought it was too formal, that it made him sound old. Now look at Sky, he was a happy child like his dad. Now he
has a thumb up his ass like his grandfather." Kat told Syd. As they began to laugh Sky's voice shot up. "I heard that Dr. Manx. No
corrupting the mother of my child." That caused the two to laugh even harder. It was a rare site to see Sky smile in public. For the first
time anyone has seen since his father died. Sky Tate was truly happy to be alive.
Note: Hope you liked this. A little talk, a little humor, and a big surprise. I thought it would make life…nice for Sky. Destany and Max being their was just for info. The real story was Syd's baby.
