Deity couldn't help but stare in awe as she walked through the forest. It was just so beautiful, unlike anything she'd seen on Earth. She couldn't stop herself from twirling every now and then, her bright yellow cape flowing around her as she did. The smile on her face, a constant since first seeing the forest. It was incredible, the leaves of the tree ranging from the darkest purple to the brightest pink while the red tree trunks stood, firmly planet in the ground by their roots.

Looking up through the leaves, Deity could spot the bright purple sun that hung over head. Leaves changing colours as they swayed in the gentle breeze, their colour depending on the amount of sun they were getting. Purple meant enough sun and pink meant not enough. Glancing down, Deity saw pink leaves scattered across the forest floor with the occasional red tree root pocking out of the ground. It was amazing, something she'd always remember and was so thankful she'd gotten to see.

"I'd ask if you were impressed yet, but since the look on your face hasn't changed since we first set foot in this forest, I'd guess you are." Deity spun on her heels to see Kem a little further a head. He was looking back over his shoulder, half turned towards Deity, waiting for her to catch up. It had been his idea to come to this world in search of Hybrids. In many ways it was similar to Earth. It had forest, which were beautiful. It had a sea, which was emerald green and almost looked like jelly at first to Deity. And even a desert or two. Cities scattered here and there.

Upon arrival they'd all split up into groups of twos. Ruby had taken Shea into the cities to ask around while Sim and Fleix had gone to check out another settlement, much to Felix's annoyance. As for Deity she'd quickly been won over by Kem who had promised her a sight she'd never forget and he had kept his word. Part of Deity never wanted to leave, just stare at this sight for the rest of her life.

"Thank you for bringing me here," Deity said as she walked over to Kem's side, both falling into step with the other as they continued on through the forest at a leisurely pace.

"I figured you could use a pick me up," Kem said as he moved his hands behind his back, positioning them in a gentlemanly manor as they walked.

"It's been hard…not having found any Hybrids," Deity admitted, her mood dropping slight. They'd been searching for over half a month now and found no trace of any Hybrids. A few whispers here and there, a rumour, a possible sighting but all had led to dead ends. It was starting to get to all of them. They really needed a win, to find another Hybrid, then maybe it wouldn't feel so hopeless.

"I know. But it's a big universe. It was never going to be easy. We'll just keep going like we have," Kem said simply as they walked. That was all they could do, it was that or turn back which most of them weren't to keen on doing. Earth wasn't exactly their idea of a home, but to Deity it was and one day she would go back…she just had to try and not think about everything she was missing.

"Yeah, I know. It's just…frustrating," Deity said with a sign as she clenched and unclenched her fists, a pout forming on her face.

"You mean like talking to Felix," Kem jested as he nudged Deity's elbow with his own.

"Yeah, sort of," Deity said with a giggle.

They continued on, Deity wondering off around the forest but always keeping Kem in sight. She ran her hands over the red tree bark, noting how it felt so similar to Earth's tree bark. She even broke some small pieces off to take back as a souvenir. She wished she could show her friends this sight, wished they were hear with her but thinking about it only made her home sick.

She took in a calming breath, clearing her thoughts as she put away the tree bark. She continued on through the forest, hopping over tree roots and kicking up piles of leaves as she walked. When she kicked on large pile of leaves she paused to watch them fall back down. Her smile returned, forgetting all about home as she watched the leaves dance in the purple sunlight, the colours twisted and shifted until they settled on pink as they lay back down on the ground. This truly was a magical planet.

Looking up, Deity caught the glare of the purple sun and quickly shielded her eyes with her arm. Funny how if it wasn't for her the other Hybrids wouldn't have any powers right now. The purple sun didn't give them any special powers, only the yellow sun. Luckily Deity's powers gave off yellow sunlight and seemed to be constant whether their was a yellow sun or not. So she was able to return the Hybrids powers thanks to her own. Only problem was it wasn't a permanent effect, they would have to meet up soon so that Deity could charge them all up again, like she had when they first arrived on this planet.

"Deity!" Kim called in a hushed shout, snapping Deity from her thoughts. She peered around a large tree and saw Kem gesturing her towards a bush he was crouched behind. Just like the leaves in the trees, the bushes were both purple and pink. The top of the bush a light purple but slowly changing to a dark pink as she looked down until at the very bottom the leaves where a bright pale pink.

Deity dash over and crouched down beside Kem. He motioned for her to be quiet and then both looked over the bush to see a small boy limping through the forest. Every now and then he'd look over his shoulder before looking everywhere else. His cloths were but rags, ripped and torn, his leg clearly hurt. He was humanoid but his skin tinted blue, otherwise though he looked exactly the same as any human although maybe a little scrawny.

Without hesitation Deity stood up and called out to the boy, putting on the friendliest smile she had. The boy whirled towards Deity and froze, like a deer caught in head lights. Deity's smile faltered a little, confused as to the terrified look on the little boy's face. She stepped through the bush, planing on reassuring him but he broke off into a sprint before Deity had even cleared the bush.

"Maybe not the best idea to scare the terrified kid running though the woods," Kem said as he stood up, watching as the boy vanished into the woods and out of sight.

"Says the guy who kidnapped me the first time he met me," Deity said, looking over her shoulder with a pointed look.

"At least you didn't run off," Kem retorted with his usual smug grin. Deity rolled her eyes, she'd grown used to Kem and was even starting to like him. It was the same with the other Hybrids, after all the time they'd spent roaming the universe together bonds had started to form. She was already friends with Shea who had started to come out of her shell and she had gotten used to Sim's over ecstatic personality. Ruby was family and they'd always had a connection but now it was really starting to feel like they were cousins again. Kim was becoming more like a friend every day and Felix… Well Felix was still as moody as ever but everyone had gotten used to that.

"Come on," Deity said before super speeding off, leaving a golden trial behind in the purple, pink and red forest.

"Right behind you, of course," Kem said with a mock bow to the air before following after his fellow Hybrid.

Deity dashed towards the boy, coming to a stop before him and causing him to jump and stumble backwards towards the ground. Deity put on another friendly smile and raised her hands as she stepped forwards. Instantly the boy started scrambling back towards a tree, squeezing himself in between the roots as he curled up. Deity couldn't help but notice the similarities between this boy and Shea. Both so shy and timid and curling up at the first sign of trouble.

"Hey. It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you," Deity said as she crouched down, kneeling before the boy who stared back at her with trembling eyes. Deity reached forwards but seeing how violently he began to shake she decided to retract her hand and try a different approach. "Are you hurt?" Deity asked, remaining a safe distance away from the boy, for his own safety. The boy's lips remained sealed shut, eyes fixed on Deity.

"Any luck?" Kem asked as Deity's eyes darted over to the side of the tree were Kem was leaning with his arms folded. His cocky grin plastered on his face as always. Deity just rolled her eyes at him making Kem's grin broadened. He slid smoothy from the tree trunk to Deity's side, the boy's eyes looking him over before they began to frantically dart between the two Hybrids.

"How about you give me a hand instead of just being annoying," Deity said as she looked up at Kem who smiled back down at her before crouching down to Deity and the boy's level.

"Hey, there," Kem said with a soft sensitive smile as the boy's gaze settled on him. "Sorry to bother you, we were just out for a stroll, happened to see you running through the forest. Maybe you could tell us what you were running from perhaps," Kem said, leaning forwards ever so slightly. Deity was surprised by his tone, not having been one she'd ever heard from Kem before. She'd heard it from Kara before, at times when she was scared or upset and when she need a someone to look after her. It was a parent's tone. A quality that Deity had never thought Kem would have.

The boy stared at him, considering it but still needing one final push to convince him it was safe to do so.

"How about we put a a cork in that. Let's start with something a bit less scary…how about names. I'm Kem and this is Deity," Kem said gesturing to the girl in the golden cape. She waved back at the boy, her friendly smile still present.

"What's yours?" Deity asked softly.

"V-V-Ven…Vender," the boy said nervously.

"Vender? Now that's a strong name," Kem said, stage gasping as he exchanged a glance with Deity, who followed his actions. "I bet it takes a lot to scare someone like you."

"Is something following you?" Deity asked and Vender nodded frantically. His eyes now less shaky, body less curled and slowly edging out from between the tree roots. He was beginning to open up. "What is it?" Deity asked a little to quickly, startling Vender. She mental slapped herself for being so stupid, she had to be careful and take things slow. Scared children were always hard to deal with, she'd dealt with a few during her time as a hero on Earth, but she'd always had Kara with her who had been so amazingly good with them. It was like she was born to be a mother.

"Is it a monster?" Kem asked after a moment, giving Vender a chance to recover from Deity's quick fire question. Vender looked over to Kem and slowly nodded. "Can you tell us about the monster?" Kem asked leaning forwards slightly. The boy's eyes widened and he pushed back into the tree roots, curling up as fear gripped his eyes.

"It's okay…you don't have to tell us about the monster. How about you tell us where home is?" Deity asked but Vender was to scared to answer. Deity was beginning to wonder what they had done to scare the boy so much, but her thoughts were quickly blown away when a low growl sounded behind her and Kem.

"Oh, dear," Kem said as he and Deity looked to one another before sudden both being pulled back and flung through the air. Halfway through their flight path the two slammed into separate trees and landed on the ground on their sides. "Gonna feel that tomorrow," Kem groaned as he stood up, stretching his back as Deity stood up too, brushing off her cloths before blowing her hair out of her face.

"Vender?" Deity called out before sighing when she spotted the boy still curled up in the tree roots. "Did you see what it was?" Deity asked turning to Kem who was actively looking around for whatever monster Vender had been running from.

"No. It must have ran off after it threw us. Maybe it sensed our power and decided to back off," Kem said hopefully with a shrug as he turned back to Deity. She had a hopeful look on her face before her eyes widened. Kem had a pretty good idea why she had reacted like that and was already turning. All he saw was a blur that pounced before forcing him to the ground.

He blinked, doing his best to stop the spinning head he had after his head hit the forest floor. A few more blinks and his eyes focused on the beastie looming over him, canine teeth hovering above his face with drool dripping form the corners of it's jaw.

"Deity…a little help?" Kem groaned from the ground before the animal on top of him was flung aside. Kem watched it arch through the air before flipping backwards, it's forepaws landing in the ground as it skidded and landed comfortable on the ground, snapping it's teeth at the Hybrids. It's head was like that of a wolf with three antenna of different length floating above it's head as if caught in an up draft. Behind the head were raised shoulders, posed and ready to pounce. It's upper body was more like that off a lion, a thick bush of fur surrounding it's neck with it's legs branching out from within the fur. Like a wolf or lion, it had four legs but it's back half was like a long tail covered in it's fur. It's hind legs sticking out from it's tail though it appeared it's front legs were used for balance and spend rather than it's hide.

"Looks friendly," Deity said Kem climbed back up to his feet. The two stepped back as the beast's tail whipped up in the air and smacked the ground, the sound echoing through the forest. A whimpered cry came from the side and Deity's head snapped over to Vender who's terrified eyes were locked on the animal that had now noticed him.

"Vender!" Deity cried but already the creature was hurling itself towards the boy who screamed as it dived through the air towards him. But an invisible wall blocked it's path, it's forepaws hitting the invisible wall which shone blue as it put it's weight on the shield. Deity sighed with relief before turning to see Kem holding out his hands towards Vender. "Nice catch."

Kem grinned at her.

Deity then raced over to the beast at super speed, wrapped her arms around it's waist before dragging it back away from Vender. She had thought she'd had a good hold on it but then it's tail whipped out and caught her face. She yelped in pain but continued to hold on. It's tail continuing to slash her cheeks, trying to get a good shot at her eyes and other sensitive points. Then it started to use it's hind paws. Claws cutting through Deity's suit but deflecting off her steel like skin. Great! Winn was going to kill her when she got back. She real should find someone to fix her suit up soon, already it was starting to fall to pieces.

She held on for as long as she could but finally the beast managed to slide free from her grasp. It landed on it's forepaws and wheeled around to face her. It's rear paws raked through the ground, trying to steady itself before pouncing on Deity. But it moved to soon and veered off to the side allowing Deity to easily side step the attack. She twirled around, lowering herself as Kem ran forwards. He jumped on the creature, pushing it down and holding it as still as he could.

"Blast it!" Kem cried while he still had the animal pinned but it was quickly wiggling it's way free. Already it was twisting and turning, trying to bite off Kem's head. Suddenly it jerked with enough force to throw Kem from it's back. It rolled over, crushing Kem beneath it's weight and spreading itself out to minimise his chance of escape. "Deity!" Kem shouted and just as the beast was about to sink it's teeth into Kem's neck it was sent flying by a blast of Deity's energy vision.

It hit a tree trunk but recovered quickly. It turned to take another ran at Kem but another blast from Deity sent it scurrying off into the forest, a whimper floating in the air as it vanished. Kem sighed, letting his head roll back before her turned to look at Deity, his grin reforming. "You just had to wait till the last second, didn't you," Kem said teasingly.

"What? I thought you really had him there. Particularly when he was about to bite your head off," Deity retorted with a grin as she held out her hand. Kem smiled and took it before letting the teenager hoist him up to his feet.

"Well, thank you for saving me," Kem said as he fixed his trench coat.

"Thanks for saving Vender," Deity replied as she patted Kem on the arm. Kem nodded humbly to Deity before the two made their way back over to Vender who was staring at them in awe. Like they were medieval knights that had just slain the dragon and saved the day. "What do you say we take you home?' Kem asked as he crouched down and held out the palm of his hand for Vender to take. Vender continued to stare in marvel at the Hybrid before slowly taking Kem's hand who then smiled before standing up and escorting the boy home along with Deity. The pink and purple leaves cascading around them as they floated down from the tree, curtesy of a strong breeze that brought up Deity's cape and Kem's coat.
