=UNIVERSE=
Morgana, Kathy, and Drew were silent as they're trip so far while far from easy was also complicated as the ship had course corrected itself three different times now.
"Look it sounds crazy, but this planet has to be moving. I mean you remember what they told us about it." Morgana said.
Kathy nods "I understand sis, but it's still hard to believe it's moving." Kathy says to her sister rubbing her head a bit.
"It's not so far fetched." Drew says.
He then shrugged "I mean if the planet is omni present in all possible timelines and dimensions then maybe it moving reflects it's location in another place?" He suggested.
"Then how did Venus get there?" Kathy says, and all three started to think unsure themselves.
"Maybe some hybrid tech? I mean the LJA have destroyed several planets so they must have some tech from them right?" Morgana suggested.
Drew rubbed his head "I wish Frankie was with us. She could probably tell us if we're being crazy or not." He muttered.
Morgana sighed nodding in agreement as Kathy get's the comms working, and it comes to life revealing a tired looking Nora "Oh hi Kathy. How is everything?" She asked smiling.
"We're doing fine. Are you okay though? You look like you've been in a fight or something." Kathy said.
Nora shakes her head "I'm fine. I promise you there is nothing to worry about." Nora assured her. The look in her eyes though said there was something more, but she wasn't about to say what happened.
"So umm...has helped showed up?" Kathy asked, and Nora nods.
"Yeah. More than even you guys probably were expecting." Nora says and Kathy looked at her confused before a familiar face pops into the screen.
"Hey there." The familiar face and voice of Rachel Daniels greets those on the ship.
Drew was surprised at this "Hi. Though why are you here?" He asks her.
"Well umm...big sis kind of thought that perhaps I could get some experience. She said a few other things, but I kind wasn't completly listening." Rachel explained rubbing the back of her head.
Macha then appeared on screen "Sora and her parents already arranged for this. So for now young Rachel will be staying with us." She says.
"Okay. Well at least you have more help then." Kathy says.
"Yeah..." Nora says, and more time was spent talking with Nora as Macha took Rachel away to deal with a few things.
Nora then sighs "Hey I've got to go. You guys take care alright?" Nora says and waves which the group does in return.
It was then that the group of three felt a weird energy and felt some kind of shockwave. It was around then that the group went to the main room of the mini ship and saw the planet in front of them.
"So...that's where Venus is right?" Drew asked.
"Yeah. I think the planet is called Martiala." Kathy says, and Morgana hummed.
"That name...something about it rings a bell..." She muttered as she swore that she had heard it before.
Morgana then shakes her head, and began making landing preparations while taking in the site they were arriving at.
While the place was a bit empty there seemed to be some kind of extremely large academy from what they could tell. They saw quite a lot of kids there and there was some symbols on one of the banners hanging.
"Okay...when we land we should split up just to be safe." Morgana said as the two raise an eyebrow at her.
Morgana sighed "Look while it would probably be good to stick together we have a few things we need to do." Morgana said.
She looked at Drew first "I want you to go there and talk to the one in charge of the school." She says pointing to it.
"Kathy scout the ground for any signs of Venus. She came here for a reason." Morgana said and both nod.
"What about you?" Drew asked.
"I'm going to prep the ship just in case we need to make a quick getaway. Plus check in with Macha back home." Morgana said to them.
"And after that you'll meet up with one of us?" Kathy asks, and she nods.
"Yep. Then if all goes according to plan we should hopefully have help finding Venus." Morgana says, and opens the door letting the two out and the split as Kathy went scouting for signs of Venus, and Drew headed for the academy like place.
Drew approached the place and saw different symbols related to things as he went "These symbols look like they're representing different kinds of warriors. Gladiator, Knight, Spartan, Ninja, Samurai, Celtic, Viking, Maori, Amazonian, and Soldier." He thought failing to notice that someone was watching.
A fairly young female narrowed her eyes and let's lout a sharp whistle that echo's and surprised Drew. Before he could react he was jumped on and pushed to the ground hard.
"Move and die buddy. Don't test me." The small female says her voice sounding familiar to drew.
He looked back and saw Kathy, but she looked quite a bit different as her dark brown hair was longer and in a bob cut style. She had a scar across the right side of her face luckily she hasn't gone blind, and her amethyst eyes had gold flecks in them. Her outfit was also primarily orange and bore a symbol different from the ones he saw.
"Alright. Who are you, why do you look like Andrew, and what do you want?" The look alike asked twisting his wrist a bit.
Drew bit his tongue trying not to cry out in pain "Look I'm not here for trouble. I came to talk to...whoever is in charge I guess." He said.
"Likely story." The girl hissed and twists his wrist.
"Kaitlyn Marie Sparrow. Let the boy go." A woman's voice called out and instantly he was let go of.
"B-But Headmistress Mira. He's an intruder." The girl named Kaitlyn says and Drew gets up and see's the woman.
Mira looked to be in her middle 20's and wore short robes her long hair going down her shoulders. She sighed to herself shaking her head.
"He's no intruder, and the fact that he looks like Andrew should be clue enough young lady." She says.
Kaitlyn rubs her head confused before her eyes widen "You mean he's a..." She starts then looks to Drew and apologizes repeated amount of times before running away. Drew caught a glimpse of a strange mark on the back of Kaitlyn's neck as she ran away.
Drew then heard Mira clear her throat and looked to her "So...you are the green ranger of your group then? It's a pleasure to meet you." She says.
"How do you..." He started.
Mira rolled her eyes this not being the first time this question had been asked "No many can get into our planet. In fact the only ones I know of capable are rangers. No matter what dimension, world, or timeline they are from." Mira said.
She bows a bit "I am Mira and I am the Headmistress of this place. You said you wanted to speak to me?" She then asks.
Drew nods "Though can we wait a moment? Just want to make sure Morgana catches up." He says.
Mira nods to him and waited as soon enough Morgana did catch up and she ushered the two in so they could talk with her privately.
=UNIVERSE=
The two sat in Mira's office as the young woman fixed a cup of tea for the two guests and listed to what they had to say "Hmm...I see. That explains why your here...you are chasing after this general. When she is here herself searching for someone herself." Mira says.
"Huh? How do you know that?" Morgana asked as both take the tea.
Mira takes a sip of her tea "I asked her of course. As the one your searching for is here as well." She says.
Drew spit out his tea "What?!" He shouts, and Mira frowns shooting a small glare at the younger male.
"No shouting. I deal with that enough with trouble students." She says.
"B-But you said that she's...I mean if she is then why haven't you..." Drew started.
"Because Miss Venus has yet to cause any trouble." Mira says to the two of them.
"Odd...okay we knew they headed out, but not why. Hmm...well I guess now is a better time than any to actually figure it out." Morgana thought and glances to Drew and gives a nod. Realizing what Morgana was about to do he sighed.
"Can we meet with Miss Venus?" Morgana asked Mira.
Mira hummed "You may, but only upon one condition. I keep a hold of your morphers while you talk with her." She says.
Drew tensed "How do we know that she won't attack us? She likely knows that we're the rangers and not the students." Drew says.
Mira takes another sip of her tea "She won't. Miss Venus has agreed to no aggression if you were to show up. She will only attack should you attempt to harm her." Mira says.
Morgana sighed, and takes off her morphers and handing them over. While hesitant Drew followed suit handing his over to Mira. After which she showed them to another room, and she knocks.
"Yes? Who is it?" A light female voice asks.
"It's Mira. There are a few here who wish to see you. They mean you no harm." Mira says.
For a few moments there was silence before a sigh "Let them in." the female voice says, and Mira does so and closes it behind them.
The two turned there attention to the only other figure in the room "So. You two followed after me did you? I thought there was three." Venus spoke.
Venus while human in appearance in fact wasn't as she much like Ahsha was a bioroid. She had an average caucasian skin tone to her and rather tall. She had extremely long pink hair that was in buns on the top yet separated in to low hanging ponytails, red-pink eye, and she wore red framed glasses. She wore a sleeveless black dress that had red peeking through parts, and connected to a flared out collar that flared out and curled past her chin. Parts of the dress curled going down her legs the ends being venus fly traps while long black gloves adorned her hands. She wore a small black crown and a pair of purple butterfly wings were on her back.
Both were a bit surprised as both thought she'd be a bit more hostile to the two of them "Come. Sit. I don't bite...no promises on my children though." Venus spoke.
Both did and just looked at her, and honestly unsure now what to ask her about "You want to know why I am here yes?" She asks.
Morgana nods "Yeah. We don't know why you left Earth, but we figured it wasn't for anything good." She comments.
"When is it ever?" Drew asked and Venus sighed.
"While it's true one reason we left was in hopes of drawing you away...It's not the main reason. We have a few fakers to hunt down." Venus said.
Morgana frowned "Care to elaborate on that?" She asked.
Venus got up and went to a window looking out "A while back we discovered that a number of our armada were...'replaced' to put it simply. Replaced by devote followers of a being who brings calamity and devours light." Venus says and Morgana freezes up.
"So your looking to take care of them?" Drew asked.
"Indeed." She replied simply.
"So if your here then that means one of them is here right?" Morgana asked.
Venus nods "One of those in higher ranks. I only have a name...Gratos. Who he is, and what he does I don't know. I know he's here because he's likely the one causing this planet's problems." Venus said and turns coming back to sit down.
Venus took a sip of her tea and looks to the rangers "Which is why I want to propose a truce." She added on.
"What!"
"WHAT!"
Venus gives both a small glare as her wings twitch "Did I stutter? I want to call a truce. At least for now." Venus said.
She then waves them off "Yet if you need time to decide please leave. If you are serious and want to consider it come back." Venus says and the two leave.
=UNIVERSE=
After the two left the room they returned to the office unsure and Mira was in there behind her desk as a few students had come to her "Noa hasn't show up to her classes Headmistress. I'm getting really worried. She might be...taken like the others." A male student says.
Mira hummed "Gather up a few of your fellow students. Start searching the area, and take some weapons with you." She orders and the student salutes and runs off passing them.
"I just hope we're not to late." Mira muttered, and then noticed the two.
Seeing how they carried themselves she sighed "I take it you take didn't go completely as planned?" She asked.
"Yeah. But enough about that. What's going on here?" Drew asked.
"Trouble. Another student has gone missing." Mira says.
"Another?" Morgana asked.
Mira nods "It's been happening for a few days now since the meteor shower. Students go missing, and when we find them..." She trailed off looking away as a few tears streak down her face.
The teens paled a bit at this "Is there anything we can do to help?" Drew asked instantly.
Yet before she could answer the door slammed open and a student in red garb passed by them "Sorry. Headmistress Mira, Kait's been taken!" The female student revealed to be a perfect double of Morgana says.
Mira froze up at this "Are you certain Morgan?" She asked the lookalike who nods.
"Yeah it's here...though when she got a haircut, and different clothes I...don't...know." Morgan started yet by the end noticed the other two there including Morgana who had stiffened.
"Uhh...okay...is she?" Morgan asked pointing at Morgana.
Mira nods "She's the Earth you." Mira confirms.
There was a knock at the door before it opened "I got some files for you Headmistress." Kaitlyn says walking in, and was instantly brought into a bear hug by Morgan.
"Gah! Sis what are you..." She starts.
"Oh thank the grandmasters your safe. How did you escape?" Morgan asked as she started looking Kaitlyn over.
Kaitlyn raised an eyebrow at her sister then to the Headmistress "Did you give her a drink or something?" She asked.
Mira shakes her head "No, but...I think that puts our guests in a bad situation." She says, and look to the two rangers who both were now trying to get in touch with Kathy.
"Respond Kathy. Come on. Don't go playing games here." Morgana says.
Drew frowns "I'm getting nothing, but static here Morgana." He says.
Morgana stopped and marches up to Morgan grabbing her "Where did you see her?" She asked in a growl.
Morgan pushes herself off "First hands off the clothes. Second...I'll lead you to where I saw her." She says.
"Hmm...it's possible if this Kathy was taken then she's probably wherever Noa, and a few other missing students are." Mira thought.
She then nods "Take them to her, but only after I gather up some help." Mira tells them.
"Fine, but make it quick!" Morgana says worry thick in her voice.
She then grabs Drew "We're going to get some help ourself to." Morgana said.
"Your serious? What if she..." Drew starts.
"We'll need to take that chance." Morgana told him.
Drew sighed "Alright. Still I guess we need all the help we can get." Drew said and both headed off for Venus room.
=UNIVERSE=
Elsewhere on the planet Kathy, Noa (the lookalike of Nora), and other students were imprisoned in what looked like pods, wires connected to them, and teal energy was leaving them being transferred into some kind of container.
Watching over it was the being known as Oksizz of the LJA, but real identity was actually that of Gratos.
"I'm ahead of schedule. A few more days and I'll have harvested enough life energy." He muttered.
His and his allies plan had been enacted many years ago when they first replaced a number of high ranking members of the LJA. They went along, and caused havoc and chaos as instructed, but it was simply a cover.
They had also imprisoned and syphoned of millions of lives worth of life energy to enact there plan to revive there master. They were progressing well, and together had accumulated 80% of the estimated energy needed.
They planned the revival to take place on Earth so when there master awakened he could have a...snack to curb his ravenous appetite. After that they'd continue as they planned years ago.
Kathy tried to focus yet having her energy drained was proving to be rather taxing on her.
"Got...to...do...something." She thought, and tied fighting through the pain to gather a bit of focus.
Yet before she could do anything she felt the pod she was in get ripped up out of the ground.
"What!" Oksizz says as from outside he saw a thorny vine was wrapped around the pod and had severed the wires connecting the pod to the device.
He turned and saw Venus, the two rangers, and a number of the students from the school.
"You all get everyone else! We'll handle this guy." Morgana says, and the students rush in as the two ready there morphers.
++READY!++
++SET!++
"Star Change!" The two shout morphing and weapons in hand.
Morgana rushed in first striking him as Drew quickly followed it up. Oksizz tried to avoid or make a move to attack, but his arm he raised was quickly bound by vines flying out of the ground and wrapping around it.
Venus the jumped forward and kicked him the fly traps around her legs coming alive and biting Oksizz for a moment.
"Y-You impudent." He says.
"Well good to see you can actually talk. Normally it's that telepathy you used." Morgana said, and prepared to take it a step further when vines came out of the ground blocking her.
"Allow me to handle this. It is why I came here after all." Venus said.
"You just aid the other students, and your younger sister. We'll see each other after everything is said and done." Venus told them.
The two nod and head for the pods as the one that had been uprooted was brought back down, and Morgana broke it open. Drew went to work disconnecting the wires from Kathy and finally got her out of the pod.
They ran off, but in there corner of there eyes they saw Oksizz being tossed around on the ground making a small crater by the vines that had sprouted out. Venus had a sadistic yet pleased smile on her face that made the two shiver.
They soon got out of range of the ongoing battle and back towards the school. Both were thankful for that as not long after they arrived clouds darkened, and several bolts of lightning struck around the area the fight had been occuring. There was a huge explosion, and teal energy seemed to scatter as if returning to there source.
"Was that?" Morgana asked.
"Must of been. It was likely Saber." Drew said. Morgana took a moment to relax and look over Kathy, and noticed she had a small section of silver hair now.
For now they'd just have to wait and let Kathy wake up.
=UNIVERSE=
Kathy groans and wakes she sees that she's in some kind of office like room, and was laying on a couch. And staring right at her was...herself?
"Wahh!" Kathy and her look alike both shout as Kathy falls off the couch onto the ground, and Kait stumbles backwards and trips falling backwards head first into the wall.
The door opened as a few people heard the noise and came in to see what was going on. Morgan upon seeing her sister in there sighed "Kait. Leave her be." She says.
Said girl rubbed her head as she got up "Geez sorry. Was just so odd seeing someone so similar to me. I was curious." She said.
Kathy looked at her own sister "Umm...what's going on sis? Why is there..." She starts and Morgana sighed.
"Calm down sis. Me and Drew will explain." She said.
After a half hour split between telling what happened since she didn't accompany them, and answering Kathy's questions the younger girl was finally satisfied. They had also explained why some of her front bangs were dyed red for some reason, and honestly she actually liked it.
"So Venus already left?" Kathy asked.
"Yeah. Oksizz managed to get away from her, and she's following him." Drew said.
"Not to mention we know Saber is now with her. I think...she's starting to remeber something." Morgana said.
"You mean like with Ramiel?" Kathy asked, and both nod.
"That's good, and bad. Means we might have to deal with that failsafe." Drew says with concern.
"Yeah, and while we got something we think might work it's incomplete. It needs a power source to help it work." Morgana adds on.
The group decided to take there time as they'd spend a bit of time on the planet. Mira had explained due to the planet's multi dimensional existence the laws of time were a bit different. While it had seemed like they'd been there for half a day outside the planet not much time had passed.
Mira estimated they could stay possibly the equivalent of a week, and they'd still be able to catch up to Venus and Oksizz.
It was a week well spent as the three took the time to train with the other students, and get to know the doubles of themselves and there friends a bit more.
They also got a chance to learn of others who had come to the planet as well, and the adventures they undertook.
When the week was up they said there goodbye's and headed for the ship. They left refreshed and ready to continue there job.
The communications beeped and Morgana hits it the screen showing Frankie "Hey Frankie. What's up? How's things going on your end?" She asked.
"One moment. I've got something to tell you, but I need to get in touch with Macha to!" Frankie said her voice excited.
"Wait so your saying the properties of the crystals can..." Macha started.
Frankie nods excited "Yeah! With these we'll be able to get them all back."
"Speaking of that we sort of had a run in with someone else on Martiala. V-Saber was there as well. Not just Venus." Morgana said to them as Ahsha hummed wondering what they were searching for.
Frankie then recalled what Luquier said and looks to Kathy on screen "Hey Kathy umm...Luquier hinted you might have an idea about what they may be doing." Frankie says.
For a few seconds Kathy was silent before sighing "Actually...I think she might have been right." She says, and takes in a breath.
"Back when I was with them my operations were constantly watched over by Greion and his party. I...I always got an unusual feeling about them." Kathy said.
"That's mainly because after the first few days they all...changed. I mean they acted the same, but they were also different. It's hard to explain, but they just didn't seem the same." Kathy said to them.
"I see..." Charles said, and the monitors in the front of the ship went off.
Frankie sighed "Well that's our cue to go." She says then looks to Nora.
"Hey. I promise we'll talk again pretty soon." Frankie tells her.
Nora nods smiling "Don't worry I'm doing fine. I got help, but I am glad to hear from you all." Nora says, but they all could tell the girl was glad they were all okay.
Communications soon ended there and the group was on there way again.
After so long...Episode 57 has come to an end! Now umm...I'm really sorry for the delay on this, and while I won't make excuses for a while I wasn't sure what to do about this. I had a combination of writers block, and the whole thing still going on didn't help either. I've recently gotten back into the grove, and now I'll be pumping these things out till it's done! Anyways I hope you all enjoyed this, and here's to me hopefully reaching the end before the 2 year anniversary! So until the next time this has been your friendly Fictionpress and Fanfiction author decode9!
