Chapter Ten: Obtained
The rangers weren't the only ones preparing for the battle. When Zakar left after his encounter with the rangers, he too needed something to get the edge.
"How much further, Captain Kaifasa?" asked Zakar.
"Not much longer Zakar." replied Kaifasa. "Soon, we'll be entering Lerik's atmosphere."
"Ah, it's been a while since I've been home." said Zakar
In about a half hour, Zakar's ship, the Kesselair, landed on Planet Lerik. After the Kesselair landed, the gate opened and out came Zakar.
"It's good to be home." said Zakar.
"It's good for all of us sir." said Kaifasa as he and the rest of Zakar's crew exit the ship.
"You know something Kaifasa." started Zakar. "I'm in a good mood today, you and the rest of the crew have my permission to go home to your families, but you have one day, then report back here."
"Yes sir!" said Zakar's crew in unison as they went their separate ways.
"As for me, I have to pay a trip to an old friend." said Zakar.
One Hour Later.
"I wonder if he's still here." said Zakar as he entered an old building.
"Hello!" exclaimed Zakar. "Is anybody in here."
"Who's making all that racket." said a voice in the darkness.
"It's just me." replied Zakar.
"Oh, it's you." said the voice as it came out to the light, revealing an small, old figure. "I must say, it's been a while Zakar."
"Yes, it's been some time, Professor Exafer." replied Zakar.
"So, why exactly have you come?" asked Exafer. "It's very rare that you visit here."
"Yes." replied Zakar. "There's something I need, and I was wondering if you could help me."
"Sure, I'd be glad to help." replied Exafer. "But why do you need this."
"I believe you've heard of the Geo stones, professor." said Zakar.
"Of course I have." replied Exafer. "The powerful stones that reside on Elementia."
"Yes, and those stones have made their way to Earth and found human partners to use them." said Zakar.
"So what." replied Exafer. "I don't think they were much match for the great Zakar."
"True." said Zakar. "But the thing about humans is that if they lose, they'll practice until they're better, so to completely destroy them, I need something to give me the edge, hence the reason I came to you."
"I see." said Exafer. "Wait here while I look in my laboratory for something that might just help you."
Then Exafer went back to his laboratory, and thirty minutes later, he came out with two small objects in his hand.
"Here Zakar, this should help you." said Exafer.
"O.k then." said Zakar as he took the objects. "What exactly are these?"
"Growth serums." replied Exafer. "This will greatly increase your size and strength."
"Thank you professor." said Zakar as he made his way to the exit of the building.
"Zakar." called Exafer.
"What is it." replied Zakar.
"Don't lose."
"I won't, I promise you."
The next morning, Zakar's crew met him at their designated meeting point.
"So captain, did you enjoy your day off?" asked Zakar.
"Yes sir, I really enjoyed spending time with my family." replied Kaifasa. "But aside all that, did you find what you were looking for sir."
"Yes, and this will spell the end for those rangers." replied Zakar. "And then, after waiting patiently for two years, the Geo Stones will be mine."
Then Zakar, Kaifasa, and the rest of the crew boarded the Kesselair and exited Lerik.
"Enjoy this time while you can rangers, because soon, it'll be your last." said Zakar. "Kaifasa, set a course for Earth."
