Chapter 7: First Mission

Three months have passed, Andros and Karone had adjusted well back into their Karovan customs. They became great friends with Zhane. Even though, they both were still having a hard time letting go of what they had done when they were Demion and Astronema.

One day, Andros was using one of the simulators for practice when Karone came in. "Hey, Andros," she greeted. He stopped and looked over at her.

"Hey, Karone," he answered.

He used his telekinesis and had his towel float over to him. "What's going on?" He asked.

"Thought it'd be more fun if you'd spar with your sister than a simulator," she replied.

Andros pushed his hair out of his face with a grin. "Sounds like a good idea," he answered. Karone smiled as she removed her jacket, revealing the yellow workout shirt she was wearing underneath. They got into a guarding stance and Andros attacked first, doing a sidekick towards her stomach. Karone blocked it and tried a back reverse kick only to have that blocked.

After a few minutes of the basic kicks and punches, Andros grinned at her. "Let's kick it up a notch," he commented. Karone smiled back.

"Good idea," she answered.

They pulled out their morphers. "LET'S ROCKET!" They shouted. They morphed and Andros pulled out his Spiral Saber. Karone pulled out her Star Slinger. Andros grinned at her as he did a back flip when Karone shot a blast at him. Andros rolled out of the way, jump up, and went to strike at her stomach. Karone did a back flip and shrieked when she accidentally back flipped right into someone. Andros tried to hold back his laughter, but soon he was cracking up.

"Well, talk about bad timing," Zhane commented.

"Sorry, are you hurt?" She asked.

"Nope."

Zhane stood up and Karone looked over at Andros to see that he was still laughing. "Shut up," she mumbled.

"Would rather not," Andros answered.

Karone sighed as she de-morphed. "This is a different look for you two," Zhane commented.

"What's that?" Karone asked.

"See you two enjoying yourselves."

Andros shrugged. "Guess we are," he answered. Andros wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Zhane, know that when you hear "Let's Rocket" coming from in here, that means Karone and I are training," he pointed out with a grin.

"Haha," Zhane mumbled.

Karone nudged her brother with a slight glare. "Shut up," she mumbled.

"Come on, Karone, he knows I'm kidding," Andros assured her.

Zhane shrugged his shoulders then he started laughing.

Later that afternoon, Andros was sitting in one of the libraries looking over some of the history on KO-35. "Andros," Tykwa called. Andros looked up when Tykwa walked over to him. "Kinwon wants to talk to you," she informed. Andros got up and went to see what was going on.

When he came to the Command Center of the base, he saw that Karone was standing there. "What's going on?" Andros asked.

"You two know the secrets of the enemy do you not?" Kinwon asked.

Andros glanced at Karone and looked back at Kinwon. "Yes a bit," Andros replied. Kinwon nodded.

"Good," he stated.

"What is this all about?" Andros asked.

Kinwon got up from where he was sitting and stood in front of them. "I want you two to go to where they normally meet. We need to know what they plan on doing next," Kinwon informed.

"Commander Kinwon, we don't know where they meet. Ecliptor made us stay on the ship when he went to the meetings," Karone answered.

Andros remained silent for a second. "I know where they go," he informed. Karone looked at Andros in shock. "I snuck off the ship while you were training and I followed Ecliptor to the planet. I know where they go," he explained.

"Will you take the mission?" Kinwon asked.

"Yes, sir," Andros replied.

Karone placed a hand on Andros's shoulder. "I'm going too," she put in. Kinwon nodded.

"You two leave tomorrow morning," he informed.

They nodded their heads slowly. "Dismissed," he instructed. They nodded to Kinwon before leaving the command center.

Andros sat in his room and was flipping the cover on his morpher open and closed. He was thinking about this mission. He closed his eyes and laid back against the pillow on his bed. He fell into a deep sleep. Having no idea what tomorrow was going to bring him or his sister.
