Chapter 11

Untold Story

-------------------

Bridge made it back to the base undetected, and immediately headed into his room to read the scrolls that Yoko had given him. He sat on his bed for over an hour reading them, eventually getting lost in a story about the amulet he received from the shrine. Soon enough, Sky walked into the room with a lot of thoughts on his mind, but he snapped out of his daze when he saw Bridge.

"Bridge, what are you reading?" Sky asked, causing Bridge to jump at the sound of his voice.

"Sky, you scared me!" Bridge said, regaining his calmness. And to Bridge's shock, Sky did something out of character for him: he sat down next to Bridge.

"Bridge, can we talk?" Sky asked, folding his hands in his lap and looking at the ground. Bridge placed the scroll next to him.

"Sure, Sky. What about?" he asked, looking at Sky.

Sky took a deep breath. "First of all, I'd like to say I'm sorry." Bridge was shocked to hear Sky say he was sorry.

"For what?" he asked, and suddenly Sky found the courage to look at Bridge.

"I'm sorry for not speaking to you properly since you came back to SPD."

Bridge placed a hand on his shoulder. "At least you're speaking to me now. Jack, Syd, and Z are all still kinda of mad at me for leaving with a killer for hire." Sky smiled, but then his gaze went toward the scrolls next to him.

"Bridge, did you get those scrolls from Yoko?" Sky asked in a friendly voice. Bridge smiled and knew Sky wasn't going to get mad at him.

"Yeah. I saw him earlier today and he gave me these and told me that it would 'tell the tale of the amulet.'"

Sky nodded. "Anything interesting in there?" Sky asked as Bridge picked a scroll and unrolled it.

"It's pretty much how it came to be." Sky moved a little and looked down at the scroll.

"What does it say?" Sky asked. Bridge looked at Sky and smiled, knowing his best friend was back to his old self.

"It says that thousands of years ago on a planet called Genesis, lived an alchemist named Kagemusha, her power well known throughout the entire universe. She is also well known for her defeat of an army of over a thousand warriors; it isn't known how she did it. She left at dawn one morning and returned that evening. The only words she said was, 'It's over,' then walked into her home and didn't leave it for two days."

Sky softly whispered, "Wow. Sounds like she was powerful. What happened to her?"

Bridge rolled up the scroll, then reached over for the next one and unrolled it. "It says here that in her final days, she ordered her followers to perform a ritual. Two days later she died and her body disappeared. In the place where her body was found, the amulet lay there shining, and her followers placed the amulet in an altar. Every year on the day of her death they would honor her memory with the same ritual she ordered them to perform.

"Then, ten years later, Rita and her evil minions came to the planet to take the amulet after hearing rumors about how it had great powers. As fate would have it, Zordon came to the planet an hour before Rita and took the amulet from the altar, then fled the planet with it. Angry that Zordon took something she really wanted, she destroyed the entire planet; only five people survived the explosion. Zordon took the amulet to Earth and gave it to the guardian I was tested by, and that's pretty much where the scroll ends."

Sky took the scroll from Bridge and looked it over. "There are questions here that still need answers to." He rolled up the scroll and gave it to Bridge.

"Like how do we know who wrote this scroll, and about the ritual that they mentioned?"

"Plus, how did the person know that Zordon took the scroll from the altar and brought it to Earth?" Sky added.

Bridge sighed. "I have some answers now, but there's still more to find out."

Sky clapped a hand on Bridge's back. "Don't worry. I will help you find the answers." Bridge smiled, and Sky smiled back. "Let's put this all aside for now and get something to eat."

"Alright. Let's get some food," Bridge said as both of them stood up and walked out of the room.

Meanwhile...

Crugger was in his office reading a book, when suddenly the door to his office opened. He looked and saw no one there, but still had a bad feeling about it, so he stood to investigate. Suddenly, someone hit him in the face, effectively knocking him back in his chair. Cruger covered his nose, for it was hurting pretty bad. He then saw someone standing in front of him.

"Hello, Cruger. We need to talk."
