SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 19 out, this is Chapter 20 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Disclaimers: I own not Sailor Moon or Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. The only thing I own is the plot bunny which, unfortunately, is still alive.
Chapter 20: Memories of Mirinoi
Entering the room where the Galaxy Book was kept, Shondra smirked and reverted back to her original Rykon guise, having stolen a card key from one of the guards she had knocked out.
"Freeze!" the second guard ordered, his gun at the ready, only to have the pharaoh monster knock him out with his stun gun. He was about to open the glass case when the alarms went off and the monster was forced to beat a hasty retreat. Stirring, the guard on the floor reached for his weapon and fired a shot at Rykon's ankle.
"Where's Shondra?" Kendrix asked, entering their room and finding Shondra missing.
"She had something to do." Maya replied. "Why?"
"Last night, at midnight, I saw Shondra go out." Kendrix explained.
"So?" Maya asked.
"I just came back from the GSA and someone at midnight, tried to steal the Galaxy Book." Kendrix replied. "The guard shot the intruder in the leg, and Maya, when she came back, she was limping."
"You think Shondra tried to steal the Book?" Maya snorted.
"Yes," Kendrix stated. "She could be working for Trakeena."
"Shondra is my best friend." Maya snapped. "She would never do anything like that. I think you're just jealous of our friendship."
"Maya…" Kendrix protested as the Mirinoi girl stormed out.
"Maya." Shondra blinked, bumping into Maya at the lift after she slipped the Galaxy Book into her sling bag.
"Shondra," Maya frowned. "What are you doing here?"
"Look, I can't explain right now." Shondra fibbed as she slipped into the lift.
"What is going on here?" Maya stopped one of the soldiers.
"Someone stole the Galaxy Book." The soldier replied.
"Shondra," Maya stopped the lift doors from closing. "What is in that bag?"
"Look, Maya." Shondra feigned ignorance. "I'm your best friend. You need to trust me."
"I don't want to." Maya shook her head. "But the Shondra I knew isn't a thief."
"Get out of my way!" Shondra growled, her voice turning low and she shoved Maya out of the way.
"You're not taking that book!" Maya demanded, blocking Shondra's way, having abseiled to the ground.
"You think you can stop me?" Shondra snorted. Laughing, she reverted back to her Rykon form. "I got be to leaving, old friend."
"You're not taking that book." Maya stood firm and morphed. "I've got it." She took back the book from Rykon and hid it under some bushes. "Nobody impersonates my friend and gets away with it." She glared at Rykon, having stomped on his chest.
"Want to bet?" Rykon retorted, tripping Maya with his hand. "And nobody steals a book I once stolen."
"That's far enough, Rykon!" Leo snapped, the other Rangers running to the scene.
"Are you alright?" Kendrix asked.
"Yeah." Maya nodded. "But you were right, she was working for Trakeena. But that isn't Shondra. Mercury?" she turned to the ice Senshi.
"Already on it." Aeon Mercury smiled. "Luminous Rainbow Stream!"
"The more, the merrier." Rykon remarked, seeing the Rangers charge at him.
"Power Up Mode!" Maya took the lead, the combined attack taking out Rykon.
"Why am I not surprised?" Aeon Mercury muttered, seeing Rykon grow in size.
"Because it happens every other time we beat these guys?" Kai suggested.
"That was a rhetorical question, koi." Aeon Mercury chided.
"Galactazord, transform!" Maya gave the command.
"I'll destroy you." Rykon swore as the two adversaries charged.
"Stratoforce, activate!" Aeon Mercury summoned the Stratoforce Megazord to battle. "I guess that works as well." She mused, seeing both Centaurus and Stratoforce Megazords on the battlefield.
"Thanks, Mercury." Maya nodded, Stratoforce Megazord having tripped Rykon to the ground after running circles around the monster. "Now to finish the job."
"Galaxy Megazord Saber, full power!" Leo commanded, taking out the fully grown monster with the sword.
