Rachel- Ugh! I'm so cold!

Keith- *throws a blanket in my face*

Rachel- Gee thanks.

Sandy- ONTO LE STORY!

*Sandy and Aqua tap dance away*

SoA Cast- o_o

"Are we almost there?"

"No, not yet. Now quit asking!"

Kate and Keith were assigned to go to the Chroma Ruins to help Sven out with something. They both arrived near a cabin house and there was a sign on the right hand side of the cabin. Kate walked over to the sign and it read 'Chroma Runs'.

"Keith!" Kate called out to the wondering red head. "The Chroma Ruins are this way."

"Great!" Keith ran over to her side. They entered the Chroma Ruins and both were greeted by a thick haze of fog. Kate coughed, blowing the fog away near her mouth with her hand.

"The fog seems really thick." Keith squinted his eyes. "I can barely see a thing."

"Same here." Kate sighed.

"W-wait! Who goes there?!"

"Huh?" Kate and Keith heard a voice in the distance of the hazy fog.

"Ack! Intruder!" The voice stammered. "If it's one of those Pokemon Mangers or whatever, then here comes an attack! If it's one of the guys, then I'm sorry!" Kate grabbed her styler, ready for a surprise attack. Perfect timing, too. Three Murkrows came flying towards her. She released the disc and yelled out, "Capture on!". It was kind of hard, due to the fog but with the help of Sandy it made it easier to befriend them.

"Capture complete." Kate smirked, bringing back the disc. The Murkrows flew away.

"They are rangers!" The voice screamed.

"Wait…" Kate squinted her eyes through the fog. "It's a Team Dim Sun grunt!"

"Aw damn!" The grunt cried, running away. So Dim Sun grunts are lurking around here?

Beep.

"Huh?" Keith looked at his styler. Arceus no! It was running out of energy. Shit! Kate's styler beeped as well and she had the same reaction.

"What do we do?!" Kate asked, panicking as she tinkered with her styler. As if on cue the styler began to ring. Displayed on the screen said 'Incoming voicemail'.

"Who is it?" Kate asked.

"It's Professor Hastings." Keith said before picking up the voicemail. "Hello?"

"Keith, Kate!" Hastings voice was heard over the styler.

"Professor! We can hear you!" Kate called out.

"It seems your styler energy is draining." Hastings told them. "What's going on."

"I don't' know." Keith admitted. "We're in a murky place with dark fog."

"It seems…. That the fog is draining the energy from your stylers." Hastings said.

"HAAAAA?!" Kate screamed. "B-but that's impossible!"

"You need to stop the fog before you're energy is all gone!" Hastings told them.

"Don't need to tell me twice!" Keith smirked. "Don't worry, Professor!"

"When you put it that way… it makes me worry even more." Hastings sighed.

Keith chuckled.

"Don't worry, Professor. I'll take good care of him." Kate joked.

"Alright. Now back to the mission, you two." Hastings said before hanging up.

"Hey…. I've seen this fog before!" Keith said, examining the fog a little more.

"Really?" Kate gasped.

"Yup! … wait never mind." Keith sweat dropped. Kate fell over anime style, legs twitching.

"REALLY?!" Kate screamed.

"Fine fine… let me check this fog with my styler." Keith grabbed his styler and pointed it towards the fog.

"Keith!" Kate cried out. "Your styler energy is going to be drain by the fog."

"Ah, no worries." Keith waved it off. "Besides, Sandy can recharge it, right?"

"Yup!" Sandy smiled. "But not for you…"

"Aw come on!" Keith whined. He pulled back his styler, checking out what it said.

"What does it say?" Kate asked.

"Needs some kind of wind power.." Keith informed her.

"No problemo!" Kate smirked, grabbing a white jellybean.

"Smart idea!" Keith said.

"Transform!" Kate popped the jellybean in her mouth. Soon a white glow of light beamed around her. Her clothes turned into a long, strapless dress with fluffy wings on the back. A little tiara was placed on top of her head. Her shoes were sneakers with small wings on the side, making it easier to fly even without the wings. Keith turned around, not wanting to see the transformation since he'll look stupid gawking at her.

"Alright…" Kate smirked. She took a few steps back, then ran and leaped into the air. "LETS DO THIS SHIT!"

"Woah there on the language…" Keith laughed. Kate grabbed a silver wand from her shoe. Huh.. Didn't see that there. She twirled it as it went faster and faster. Her wings started to flap the fog away. It's working! After a minute, all the fog was gone and their stylers won't get their energy drained now! Kate settled back on the ground and a little white glow surrounded her. Same ranger uniform and spiky pigtails.

"Alright, since that's out of the way we can find Sven." Keith cheered.

Up ahead of them was another entrance. Kate and Keith eagerly ran straight towards it, but to their dismay was nothing but a giant rectangle rock on the ground.

"What?!" Kate screamed. "There's nothing here!"

Keith walked near the giant rock and kicked it. The rock moved a little.

"Kate, this rock is movable!" Keith said. "We can use a field move to move this rock out of the way."

"Great!" Kate smiled. "Never knew you were smart."

"Hey!" Keith frowned.

Kate just giggled before pulling out her styler to check the field move for this piece of junk. It required 3 Tackle.

"Um…" Kate mumbled. "You don't suppose you know any Pokemon that has 3 Tackle, Keith?"

"Not sure." Keith admitted. "I'll check on my styler." With a few beeps and bops, Keith found a Pokemon with the same field move they needed. Perfect!

"There should be a Bastiodon around here." Keith informed. "That's what my styler says."

"I think I saw one earlier!" Kate remembered. "I'll go fetch it for us really fast." And in a swift second, she dashed off. Keith chuckled. Boy that girl is starting to become more and more like him, except a little more mature.

"Sosososososososooooooooooooo … Keithy." Sandy smirked, strolling over to Keith. "When are you gonna confess? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?"

"Sandy, shut up!" Keith barked.

"Someone's getting feisty." Aqua waved a finger.

"So when are you and Aqua going to confess, Sandy?" Keith fired back with a grin.

"WHAT?!" Sandy began to gag. Knew it.

"It's pretty obvious since you guys always sleep together and play together and-" Keith was stopped by the glares of the two Pokemon.

"Say another word, and you're going to get it…" Sandy gritted her teeth.

"SANDY AND AQUA SITTING IN A TREE!" Keith started to yell out.

"Aqua, lets get Keith!" Sandy and Aqua started to chase Keith around the rock non stop.

"Hey guys!" Kate greeted with a Bastiodon by her side. "I got the Bast-"

"YOU GUYS STARTED IT!" Keith objected.

"WELL I WAS KIDDING AROUND!" Sandy screamed.

"Um… guys…" Kate sweat dropped. Not working. They weren't listening at all.

"YOU GUYS!" Kate raged, revealing the scary side of her. Fake flames and lightning crackled from the sky.

"Eeeeeeeeeek!" All three shrieked.

"Scary Kate…" Keith gulped.

"I am so not scary!" Kate objected.

"Have you seen yourself, lady?" Aqua huffed.

"What was that…?" Kate gave a low glare.

"N-nothing!" Aqua panicked before running behind Keith's leg.

"Anyways, aside from that." Kate waved it off. "I got a Bastiodon ready."

"Great!" Keith grinned.

"Bastiodon, use tackle on the boulder thingy!" Kate commanded.

"Really? Boulder thingy?" Keith rolled his eyes. "Lame."

"Well sorry!" Kate snapped. "I don't know what it's called. It's a rectangle shape boulder rock thing."

"So… a rectangular boulder?" Keith asked.

"… shut up." Kate pouted. Bastiodon just shook its head at the conversation before tackling at the boulder with full power. The boulder moved all the way, revealing a staircase. Kate and Keith nodded at each other before running down the stairs.

"ACK!"

BAM

"OW! KEITH!"

"Sorry!"

"Sheesh watch where you're going."

"I said I was sorry!"

Up ahead of the two was a light coming down from the ceiling.

"Check it out!" Keith gasped in awe. "There's light coming trough the ceiling!"

"Do you suppose there's another level up there?" Kate asked, murmuring over the thoughts.

"Probably." Keith said. "Hey. There's a Drifblim!" In the corner of their eyes was a Drifblim, wandering about.

"I used to ride them in Oblivia when I stayed with my grandparents!" Keith sighed at the memories. He closed his eyes for a bit and then opened them. Huh? Where's Kate?

"Here I am." Kate came back with the Drifblim. Keith fell over anime style.

"Are you some mind reader or something?" Keith sweat dropped.

"No." Kate simply responded before climbing aboard the Drifblim. "Aren't you coming?"

"O-oh" Keith stuttered. Kate rolled her eyes before handing her hand out for Keith to take.

"Hurry up." Kate said. Keith grabbed her hand as she lifted him up. Too strong.. Kate accidentally flipped Keith and he landed with a THUD on the ground.

"Ow…" Keith moaned.

"Oops…" Kate cupped her hands to her mouth.

"Ah it's fine." Keith waved it off.

"Alright, Drifblim." Kate said as she lifted Keith back aboard. "Fly up the opening in the ceiling."

The Drifblim gave a cheerful sound before floating up into the opening. Few seconds later, they were up on another floor. The Drifblim flew away as the two rangers checked out the place.

"There is another level." Kate gasped. "I knew it!"

"But… there's nothing up here." Keith pointed out.

"WHAT?!" Kate screamed.

"There's a Pupitar in the corner of the room, though." Keith said.

Kate wailed a little before grabbing her styler to capture the Pupitar.

"H-hey. I don't think we need the Pupitar." Keith told her.

"My guts tell me we need it." Kate smirked before finishing the capture.

"Okay then." Keith looked back at the hole. "I guess we need to jump down the hole again."

Kate stepped back a little before charging towards the hole. "FOR NARNIA!"

BAM

"Wahhh!" Kate cried, crashing into the wall. Keith gave a low sigh before grabbed Kate by the waist and jumped down the hole.

"It's like we switched places." Keith chuckled.

Kate gave a cute pout before standing back up.

"Okay, lets go find Sven." Keith grabbed Kate's hand and ran off with her in tow.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"Let me go! LET ME GO!"

"Se-"

"Shut up, boy. She aint going anywhere."

"LET HER GO!"

"We'll just take the both of you then."

"Why you little.."

"Ah ah ah. Language."

WHACK

"Ow! Why'd you kick my face?!"

"Let her go and just take me then."

"No don't!"

"I told you, I'm taking you both! Now shut the fuck up before you get a taste of hell coming your way!"

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"Hi Sven!" Keith greeted the cowboy hiding behind a rock. "What'cha doing?"

"Shhh!" Sven shushed the red head. "There's grunts here and I'm spying on them."

"There's so many of them." Kate said.

"Yeah. Pretty suspicious if you ask me." Sven told them.

"I think that's all the shards we need."

"How about the clear ones?"

"We save 'em"

"Save them? For what?"

"Duh! We can make a profit selling these."

"Oh! Great idea!"

"Lets look around to make sure we didn't miss a dark shard."

"Dark shards?" Kate whispered.

"I'm not sure what they're doing with them." Sven admitted. "But I bet it isn't good."

"So… what do we do now?" Keith asked, eagerly wanting to kick some bad guy butts. "Could we just go up to them and punch the living crap out of them? Cause I could!"

"Ah.. No." Kate shook her head.

"We need something to eliminate them all." Sven rubbed his chin.

"We can start by grabbing a closet and shoving them in it and they all go to Narnia." Keith sheepishly grinned.

Kate's eyebrows twitched at the silly idea. "What kind of idea is that?"

"Are you crazy?" Sven faced palmed. "We might get sucked in, too!"

Kate banged her head on a rock.

"True, true!" Keith agreed.

"You guys! Focus on the mission!" Kate hissed.

"Okay okay." Keith said.

"I think I know how to get these guys to scram." Kate told them. "Just stay here and I'll be back in a jiffy." Kate looked around before running off.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Few minutes later, Kate came back with a Stunktank by her side. The boys at first were confused, but Kate explained the plan to them.

"Oh I see!" Keith nodded his head.

"Okay, get ready." Kate said, untying her hair.

"Wait.. Why are you untying your hair?" Keith asked.

"Watch." Kate smirked before jumping over the rock. Keith felt his face flare up. Damn… she looks so beautiful with her hair down. All smooth and silky and…

"Stop daydreaming, Keith." Sven nudged the daydreaming red head.

"Hi boys." Kate smiled, waving at the Dim Sun grunts.

"Ooh! Hot girl!"

"What are you doing here? A lass like you shouldn't be wondering around here."

"Wait a minute.. SHE'S A RANGER!"

"Ack!" Kate fell over anime style. Dammit!

"Get her!" Dim Sun grunts started charging towards Kate. Kate gave a low sigh before a smirk rolled over her face.

"Stunktank!" Kate yelled. She pinched her nose for the unthinkable to happen to these poor grunts.

"Stunk!" The Stunktank gave out a cry before unleashing it's fury.

"Wait.. What's it doing?"

"Oh fucking shit…"

The air suddenly turned a gross murky green. Kate felt her eyes burn so bad, but she couldn't close them because the grunts reactions here killing her.

"OH MAH GAWD! ARCEUS IT BURNS!"

"I CAN'T SEE!"

"MY EYES ARE ON FIYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"The stench… fainting.." THUD.

"KATE WHAT THE HELL?! MY FRICKEN EYES AND NOSE!"

"Evacuate immediately! MY EYES ARE KILLING ME HERE!"

"RIGHT!"

All the Dim Sun grunts, plus Keith, ran out of the room. The air started to clear up as the stench started to fade away, too. The Stunktank jerked its head and ran off.

"Thanks!" Kate waved to the running Pokemon.

As Stunktank ran off, Keith came back, looking queasy and putting his hands on his stomach. He placed his hand on a rock to give him some support.

"What.. The.. Hell…" Keith's face started to become green. "Urk!"

"Oh ew, Keith!" Kate shrieked, turning away.

"BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Nnononononono, get away from me!" Sven ran to Kate's side.

"Alright. All better." Keith assured them. Kate and Sven took a step back from Keith.

"Anyways, lets go on ahead. I believe there's another room up ahead." Sven told them.

"Okay." Kate and Keith said in unison. The three dashed off into the next room. The room was full of clear crystals, no dark shards in sight. A clod breeze passed by, giving the three rangers the chills.

"It's cold in here." Kate said, rubbing her arms.

"Yeah." Keith agreed.

A cry from the end of the room echoed through the room. Sven had a serious look on his face. Kate and Keith couldn't make up what the cry was.

"There's a Spiritomb up head." Sven finally spoke.

"Woah… cool!" Keith said.

"Sounds pretty angry if you ask me." Kate told the two.

Kate walked up ahead and came face to face with five rocks.

"There isn't a Spirtomb here." Kate frowned. Another cry came before a spooky purple Pokemon popped up from one of the rocks.

"Eek!" Kate jumped back a little, but pulled out her styler, ready to capture.

"Capture on!" She yelled out, pulling the trigger.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Few minutes later, Kate successfully captured the Spiritomb. Her styler's energy is low, however. She took a lot of hits from the attacks it fired, but it's all good now.

"Spirit…" The Spiritomb moaned before fading away into the rocks.

"Way to go, Kate!" Keith ran up to the brunette and gave her a noggie. Kate giggled, pulling his hand away.

"My hair!" Kate teased.

"There should be another room up ahead, if I recall." Sven ran ahead. Kate and Keith ran after him into the next room. Sven gave a gasp before running up to a giant hole in the wall.

"No! We're too late!" Sven cried.

"What is that gigantic hole for anyways?" Keith inquired.

"It's a big dark shard known as the Shadow Crystal." Sven explained. "This crystal doesn't have a spec of light in it, just darkness."

"Didn't the professor say something about the dark shards fueling up the Gigaremos?" Kate asked.

"Yeah." Sven scratched his head in a worried manner. "Can you imagine how many Gigaremos they can make with this big of a crystal?"

Kate and Keith gulped at the image that popped up into their head.

"We better report this to the professor." Sven told them. " Lets head out."

As they were walking towards a ladder, Kate came across a small dark shard. Kate scooped the shard into her hands, examining it.

"Help! Someone!"

"Huh..?" Kate whispered, looking closely at the crystal. Her eyes were horrified at the sight. Alex and Selene were yelling for help and now were being towed away by someone.

"Ah!" Kate screamed, dropping the dark shard. The shard broke into tiny pieces that scattered all over the floor. Kate placed her heart to her chest. What just happened?

"Kate!" Keith yelled out. "What happened? Are you okay?"

"Um… yeah I'm fine!" Kate assured him, climbing up the ladder. They arrived outside, where a little shack awaited them. Sven walked over to the sign, reading out loud what it said.

"Al-ru-Oi-" He read, then snapped his fingers. "Altru Oil!"

"Altru? As in that big building in Pueltown?" Kate was amazed.

Sven ran inside the shack. Kate and Keith followed his lead, checking around the place. Old and rusty. Ew.. spider webs. Papers were scattered around the floor and wooden planks laid untouched. Something caught Kate's attention. A burned book was on an old table in the far corner. Kate started to flip through the pages as she read.

"…Boo!"

"Ah!" Kate screamed, falling down.

"Haha! I scared you." Keith stuck out his tongue.

"That wasn't funny, Keith!" Kate pouted, holding the book to her chest.

"Hey.." Keith noticed the book. "What's that in your hands."

On cue, Sven came running in. "What's with all the commotion?"

"Kate found a burnt up book." Keith explained.

"Hmm… maybe we can take this to the Union for examination." Sven rubbed his chin. Kate got up, brushing off the dust on her pants and gave the book to Sven.

Flush!

"Did you hear that?" Everybody froze, listening for another sound.

Ka-chunk!

A guy with green hair came out, looking surprised just as the rangers were.

"Who are you?" Sven asked.

"I should be asking the same to you." The guy rose an eyebrow.

"Wait a minute!" Keith recognized this guy. "Ponte?!"

"Hey.. Keith?! Kate, too?!" The guy gasped.

"Hey, old buddy!" Keith and Ponte gave each other high fives.

"Great to see you two again!" Ponte smiled.

"Why do you have on a Dim Sun uniform, Ponte?" Kate asked.

"Oh, I decided to join Team Dim Sun, but I heard their policies and stuff and just quit on the same day I joined." Ponte told them. "Ya know me. Conflicted Marshmallow Boy."

"You still haven't changed at all, Ponte." Kate giggled. The three decided to chit-chat for a little while Sven looked over the diary. After a few minutes, the reunited friends went their separate ways. Alex and Selene… are they okay? It's bugging Kate too much.

"Sacrament…"
