Rekindled Flames
The next morning, the Celic ship was loaded with everything in the camp. Then, every member of the colony got in. Relexi started the engines, and they took off.
Maro was in her cabin with Laro. She was holding up a picture of herself, years before. In the picture, Maro was on the arm of a young man with short grayish blue hair and gray eyes. On the man's shoulders, sat a three- year- old boy in a male Celic headpiece.
"My husband and son," beamed Maro, "The man's name is Thomas, and our son's name is Jack."
"I see you named the boy for our brother's Zian name. He looks like his dad," replied Laro.
Maro said, "But so does your son in the pictures you showed me. And he didn't have his headpiece on."
"I thought it looked strange on him," answered Laro, "So I took it off. I thought his dad was wasting his money on stupid things again."
"But his sister wears hers," complained Maro.
A very vexed Laro replied, "She looked just too kawaii with it on. Anyway, this really isn't the time to discuss clothing preferences. We're supposed to go to the bridge with Jaro." Then she left the room. Maro followed suit soon after.

Finally, the ship docked at Toros base. It had been decided that Laro, Maro, Jaro, Molel and Relexi would leave the ship and canvas for The Blitz Team's help. Everyone else would keep the ship on standby, just in case.
The five diplomats entered through the hanger door. They stared at the nine Zoids in the hanger. "Lessee, we have Dibison, Pteras, Shield and Blade Liger, Gunsniper, Reynos, something I can't identify, Moon GS, and Liger Zero. What a collection," said Laro.
At that moment, they heard laughter. They turned to see a small child riding on an Organoid. The girl wore a long red tank top, long black shorts, and brown boots with silver toes and a silver ring on top of the foot. She had short messy magenta hair, violet eyes, and a Celic headpiece. The Organoid was a golden dragon with bird wings. Its claws, tail point, and wing tips were silver, and the eyes were red. Laro could see the child was staring with interest at them.
"Who are you?" asked the girl.
Laro whispered to her siblings, "We'd better start using our Zian names again, it'll make it a lot easier on everybody. Plus give Uncle and the Lieutenant Zian names as well." The others nodded their heads. Laro then answered, "We are the royal triplets of the Celic Empire of Planet Celine. I am Lyla, and my siblings are Jack and Margurita. Over there is our uncle, Captain Norman Relexi, and his aide de camp, Lieutenant Allison Molel. We would like to meet with your leader, if it can be managed."
The child looked at the aliens for a second. Finally, she ran inside on her Organoid yelling, "Grandpa...we have visitors."
Soon after, Dr. Toros entered. He took one look at the five visitors and gasped. "Lyla...you're alive?!" he exclaimed.
Laro—or should we say Lyla—nodded. She replied, "Yes Steve, I'm coming back to you."
Before Relexi could complain, Lyla stated, "The three of us want to get back in touch with our friends and or families on Zi. I'm going to return to being Lyla Toros, and my sister will return to being Margurita...ummm...what did you say your husband's name is?"
"Sisco, his name is Thomas Sisco," replied Maro—who is now called Margurita.
Toros asked, "Is he related to a Jack Sisco by any chance?"
"Jack is my son's name," exclaimed Margurita, "As well as the name of my brother. Tell me, do you know my son?"
"Are you kidding? Jack Sisco is a long-standing friend and friendly rival of my son-in-law. I didn't know we were related," answered Toros.
Relexi looked at Molel. "This is just our luck. I thought we'd have trouble. Luckily, their younger brother is still on Celine," he said.
Toros looked at Lyla and asked, "What happened twenty five years ago in the Pteras anyway? Your friend Faye said you died in a crash."
"I was abducted by aliens," replied Lyla, "It turns out that I'm one of two princesses of the Celic Empire on Planet Celine. We came back ten years ago for a few Celic children who'd been born on Zi, but were shot down."
"So you were the aliens who tried to take Leena. I understand now. Can you tell me how you came to be raised on Zi?" asked Toros.
Lyla began, "My siblings and I were born Laro, Maro, and Jaro, the royal triplets of the Celic Empire. As was the custom, a ship and crew of the RCA's space force division and their spouses and children were to take us and several of our attendants and their spouses and children to other planets we controlled to show off the heirs. But there was a leak in the fuel tank, and we crash landed on Zi with no way to contact home."
Toros commented, "So then you were taken to an orphanage just in case the government decided to hurt your people, and given the names Lyla, Margurita, and Jack."
"You catch on quick," exclaimed Lyla, "We grew up, and Margurita and I both married and had children. So did most of the other Celic kids from our ship. And the young adult members of the crew. Most of the unmarried members, especially the ones who were kids on the voyage, chose Zian mates, but a few pure Celic couples came out. But when Uncle Norman's ship finally found us, he only took who he could find from our ship's manifest. So late on, many of us complained of leaving their children behind. That's why we came back ten years ago abducting people. Uncle didn't think to get them in touch with their parents."
Toros chuckled. "So that's it. I was wondering why you didn't just ask to see Leena."
"I found out in the end, but she was in mid attack when I finally put a call through," replied Lyla, "I didn't want to have anymore senseless violence. You see, the child I was carrying when I was abducted, died when her Zabat went down in combat a few weeks earlier."

I won't be able to update as often, because I'm going back to school on Monday (I used my week long vacation wisely). Here's some more crazy ironies. I want to give a shout out to Alexpuppy and Naomi Hunter for guessing the identity of the mysterious woman in my last fic. This is the one theory on Leena's mom that I decided to use. I had others such as she was thought to be dead in a Pteras crash, but she actually survived, or the one where she was a mermaid. Practically, all I did was join those two together and tweak it a bit. That's sort of how Leena stood all the energy when Toros hooked the GS up to the catapult in the episode "Warriors On Vacation", she had specially tough skin due to her alien blood. I'm sure all of you remember what incident in a Zabat I'm talking about. Now let's see if Toros remembers as well, LOL. If you're wondering why Lyla didn't know what a Shadow Fox was, is they still aren't mass-produced because only Layon knows how to make them. Therefore, there were no records she could read concerning the Zoid. Oh, and the child's hairdo is supposed to look like Leena's. Guess whose kid she is. And kawaii means cute in Japanese. Ok, Japanese dictionary quota met. Dang, I'm super stuck for finding a way to tease FHarry. Since Leena's not single, there's little I can do.
