"The Rest of the Story…"
"Marah, come here." Kyara called her youngest daughter.
"Yes mother?" 15 year old Marah asked.
"Do you know where your sister is?" Kyara asked.
"No I don't. She was supposed to be home already." Marah said.
"Great, your father will be home any minute and he will want to have dinner. I guess we will just have to eat without her." Kyara said.
"Did I tell you that Uncle Lothor called? He wanted you to call him back." Marah said.
"Ok. Thank you dear." Kyara said.
"Mom, what was it like growing up on Earth with Uncle Lothor?" Marah asked.
"Growing up on Earth is really not that different from growing up here. I didn't see either of your uncles all that much though. They were very into their ninja training." Kyara said.
"Uncles? I have more than one?" Marah asked.
"Oh yes. You have an Uncle Kanoi. He is Lothor's twin brother and the Sensei at the Wind Ninja Academy." Kyara said.
"How come we never met him?" Marah asked.
"Because…we don't speak. It's a long story. Someday I'll tell you all about it." Kyara said.
"Does Uncle Kanoi have any children?" Marah asked.
"Yes. Last I heard he had one son. Cameron." Kyara said.
"Do you ever miss Uncle Kanoi?" Marah asked.
"Marah…go call the school to see if Kapri is still there." Kyara said dodging the question.
"Yes ma'am." Marah said going to her room to use the phone.
Kyara sighed. She hated Lothor for what he had done…yet even still she couldn't entirely hate him because she was happy. After Kiya was banished and became Lothor he would still come to Earth periodically. One of those trips to Earth he found his sister Kyara and brainwashed her into joining his army. Whenever the brainwashing would begin to wear off he'd just do it again. Eventually Kyara met Kuvo, one of the best Space Ninjas the galaxy had ever seen. She left Lothor's army and married Kuvo and they had their first child, Kapri, followed by Marah two years later. Since she wasn't around Lothor to be brainwashed the effects wore off but she knew her feelings for Kuvo were real. At this point she knew she had been considered to have been banished by Kanoi and wouldn't be welcome back on Earth so she stayed with Kuvo and made a home in space. Kyara was very happy with Kuvo and her daughters but she wished she could have Kanoi and Cameron in her life as well because the truth was she did miss her other brother, more than she would ever admit verbally.
The years passed. Marah and Kapri graduated from high school but showed little ambition to do anything else so they continued to live at home and did ninja training, unsuccessfully most of the time, to pass time. When Marah and Kapri were 22 and 24 Kuvo was offered a chance to train in another galaxy. It was too good of an offer to pass up but he wouldn't be able to have his daughters train with him. He would need to find some place for them to go.
"Kyara, I know you don't like this idea but I think the girls should stay with Lothor." Kuvo said.
"You know how I feel about him." Kyara said.
"I know…and I understand why you do. But this chance is once in a lifetime and I want you by my side." Kuvo said.
"I know…but Lothor is evil." Kyara said.
"Yes…he is…but he would never hurt the girls. They are his nieces." Kuvo said.
"You really believe that?" Kyara asked.
"I do…I would never put the girls in any danger. I know Lothor may not be the best man but he is still their uncle and I believe he will take care of them." Kuvo said.
"Alright…fine…I'll call my brother." Kyara said.
"Hello?" a voice said.
"Hello? Zurgane? Is Lothor there? It's Kyara."
"Yes, just a moment." Zurgane said.
"Kyara, hello. How are you doing little sister?" Lothor asked.
"I'm ok. I have a favor to ask of you." Kyara said.
"Ok, what is it?" Lothor asked.
"Kuvo has an amazing training opportunity but we need to find someone to watch the girls. Would you mind if they came to stay with you on your ship? It'll only be for a few months…just the summer I'm sure." Kyara said.
"You want me to baby sit Marah and Kapri?" Lothor asked.
"No…just give them a place to stay…food to eat. You don't actually have to watch them. They take care of themselves pretty well. They won't be any trouble." Kyara said.
"Can't that husband of yours train and take care of two adult girls?" Lothor asked.
"Please don't put down Kuvo…will you do it or not?" Kyara asked.
"Fine, for you not for that alien life form you call a husband." Lothor said.
"His name is Kuvo…thank you Lothor. We'll bring them by next week." Kyara said.
"Girls, you're going to stay with your Uncle Lothor for a few months." Kuvo explained to his daughters.
"Uncle Lothor? Cool! Maybe he'll let us blow some stuff up!" Kapri said.
"Where are you guys going?" Marah asked.
"I had an amazing training offer but unfortunately you guys can't go." Kuvo said.
"So you girls will behave right?" Kyara asked.
"Yes ma'am." Marah said.
"But we can still blow things up right?" Kapri asked.
"As long as no one gets hurt." Kyara said.
"And we don't break a nail." Kapri added as a mental note.
And so the next week the girls joined their uncle on his ship…little did Kyara actually know what she had gotten her daughters into.
