Rachel- Welcome backkkk to Things I'll Never Sayyyyyyyyyy!

Sandy- I'm hungry *goes to the kitchen*

Aqua- *Sweatdrops* Onto the story!


That night's dinner wasn't the best. Keith just poked at his food before he excused himself and left the dining room. Ana later on said she was feeling better and decided to leave and thanked the Union for letting her stay. Rhythmi and Isaac got in a tiny argument later on but then made up. Hours later, Hastings called everybody up to the Research room late at night. Kate grumpily rubbed her eyes while Keith stayed in the corner away from Kate.

"Everybody listen up!" Hastings spoke up, tapping his cane. "We have found a blueprint, but it's locked with a password. I believe it's from Altru."

"Isaac, dear." Erma said. "Perhaps you know the password?"

"Blueprint?" Isaac asked, thinking if he had dealt with a password before. He crossed his arms in annoyance.

"First time Isaac has forgot something." Rhythmi joked, chuckling.

"Wait... it's that blueprint isn't it." Isaac mumbled.

"Isaac?" Erma asked.

"Oh terribly sorry." Isaac bowed. "Anyways, I think I know what blueprint you're talking about. Altru said it'll help the Pokemon become free! The password is Melody. It's my little sister's name."

"Nage!" Hastings called.

"On it!" Nage said, typing on the keyboard as fast as he could.

"Alright, bring it on the monitor." Hastings told him.

Data and pictures came up on the Underfoot monitor. Everyone stared at it for a minute.

"Isn't..." Keith couldn't make it out.

"Altru?" Kate tilted her head.

"It says something about an incredible machine?" Sven rose an eyebrow.

"Isaac, could you care to explain?" Hastings asked.

"I-I'm sorry I honestly don't know what the incredible machine is." Isaac sighed.

"Do you think maybe Dim Sun is going to corrupt the Altru tower or something?" Wendy asked.

"What's that on the top?" Keith asked.

"It can't be..." Kate gasped.

"The Shadow Crystal!" Rhythmi exclaimed.

"This is making no sense!" Hastings scratched his head vigorously.

"Why don't you all go to bed now." Erma said. "We'll discuss this tomorrow then."

"Night!"

Keith felt bad if Kate had to sleep on the couch or on the floor downstairs so he took a blanket and a pillow and went downstairs with Aqua. It was pitch black but he didn't care. His sadness needed to be sucked up into the darkness. He felt the couch and crawled on it, where he placed the blanket over him and laid down on his pillow.

"You okay?" Aqua asked as he squirmed under Keith's arm.

"No..." Keith mumbled. "Just shut up and go to sleep."

The next day...

"Kate, Keith." Erma called the two sleepy rangers. "I want you two to go patrolling together please."

Kate gave a low glare at Keith, then went back to her normal face at Erma. "Okay."

Kate and Keith stayed away from each other, Kate taking the left and Keith the right.

"This is so awkward..." Keith thought, sighing.

"Yeah! They're going to activate the Incredible Machine soon!"

"Incredible Machine?" Keith and Kate both echoed. They looked at each other for a split second then hurried to where the voice was coming from. Near a cliff were two Dim Sun grunts talking. Kate and Keith hid behind a bush, observing them.

"I wonder how we'll make it work with only one gem." One Dim Sun grunt said.

"Easy. We just steal it from the rangers." The other grunt shrugged. "Lady Ana is on the case."

"Ana?!" Kate gasped.

"So she's working for Dim Sun..." Keith whispered.

"I didn't see that coming." Kate sweat dropped.

"Me either." Keith chuckled. They totally forgot that they weren't speaking to each other for that minute.

"And we have the Shadow Crystal with us so it's no problem!" One snickered.

You remember that mushroom guy? Um Isaac was it? Luckily we brainwashed him before he could tell the rangers!" The other grunt laughed.

"So Altru Tower they're setting up the Incredible Machine right?" One grunt asked. "Just to make sure."

"Yup." The other nodded. "Now lets go before we get caught by the boss."

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" Keith yelled jumping out from the bush. "TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS INCREDIBLE MACHINE WILL YA?!"

"Eek! Ranger!" The two grunts screamed.

"THERE AINT NO RUNNING HERE!" Keith grabbed the two grunts by their collar and started shaking them ."TELL ME MORE TELL ME MORE TELL ME MORE TELL ME MORE TELL ME MORE!"

"This ranger is crazy!" One cried.

"Okay okay okay! To be honest, we don't know that much about the Incredible Machine!" Another grunt wailed. "We're only grunts not an admin or leader!"

Keith grumbled for a little and dropped the two grunts down on the ground. They ran as quickly as they could away from Keith.

"That felt good to do." Keith sighed in relief.

"Well at least we got some info." Kate said, coming out from the bush. "Now lets go tell Hastings and Erma."

"Wait.. Kate." Keith stopped her in her tracks.

"Hmm?" Kate whirled around.

Keith stared at her for a minute. "...nevermind." He grinned.

"Got it." Kate smiled. "Now lets hurry I want lunch!"

"I guess I have to start all over again." Keith thought. "But it's really fun to be around Kate so I guess it won't be bad..."

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))) ))))))))) Back at the Union...

"So Dim Sun is going to launch the Incredible Machine from Altru Tower?" Hastings asked.

"Yup." Kate nodded.

"Hmm..." Hastings mulled over the information.

"Why don't you two go eat some lunch. I believe we will have a plan later." Erma smiled at the two rangers.

"Yay!"
