"I'm sorry Zoom Stanford, I'm sorry everyone" Whispered Aria to herself "I never wanted it to end this way".
Aria had taken out a black ribbon and tied her long black and blue hair and cut it her hair now lying in a heap on the ground with only the wind moving it.
She left Chopper and her clothes where she had opened the portal only hoping that when the others caught up to her she would already be gone.
Aria was now dressed in black leather her hair barely brushed over her shoulders but the last thing she left behind was a small brown package addressed to all of the battle force five.
It was already midday when Aria had reached the outskirts of the Vandal's camp but the strange thing was that the number of guards around the outskirts had increased dramatically.
"All I have to do now is wait" thought Aria to herself.
...
With BF5
"Do you remember when Aria punched Stanford if the face because he was flirting with her" Asked Sherman.
"Yeah I couldn't see out of that eye for the rest of the day" Huffed Stanford
"I think what made it funnier was that she always found a comeback to your pick up lines" Laughed Spinner.
"Evan though we've only known her for a few weeks even now without her here the place feels so quiet and cold" Said Agura sadly because Aria had became somewhat of a close friend.
"I think we all had a soft spot for her even Stanford" Laughed Vert.
"Hey Zoom what do you remember most about Aria" asked Spinner.
"The way she smiled" he replied simply.
"I remember those two weeks when she hardly left your side Zoom" said Sage who startled everybody in the infirmary "If she doesn't come back she will be dearly missed" Sage added.
"Is the battle key ready" Asked Vert, Sage nodded and handed him the battle key.
"Gear up team" Commanded Vert eagerly.
...
Back with Aria
Night fall had now fallen over Vandal and its people, before Aria began to sneak in she looked up at the stars shining brightly in the dark blue sky.
"Zoom please forgive me" Said Aria as if Zoom could hear her.
Aria began to make her way forward to the fence until a bright light blinded her vision, the lights became closer until Aria felt a searing pain shoot up her right side whatever it was had rammed right into her.
"And your mother said that you will never be ours what a shock it will be to see her daughter captured" sneered a voice.
"Idiots" growled Aria only loud enough for her to hear.
...
Back with BF5
"Let's keep this recon clean guys, we go get Aria and her mother then get out" explained Vert as he opened the portal to the Vandal home world
"But who is her mother going to ride with we don't have the room" Stated Stanford.
"We do now, look Aria left us a parting gift" Said Agura.
"But why would she leave Chopper behind it would take her twice as long to get to the Vandal camp by foot" said Zoom, "I just hope she's okay".
"Well at least now we have some room" Stated Sherman.
*Vrom* "What the hell's wrong with the Chopper" asked, "Stanford it sounds like me DJ-in on my rare bad days".
"It looks like something's been jammed in the thrusters and it's not just her clothes" Smirked Zoom.
"Well tell us what is then" Wined Stanford.
"It's for all of us" Said Zoom as all of battle force 5 jump out of their vehicles.
"Here said" Zoom handing each member a small package "here is one for Sage"
"Let's get focused on the mission" said Vert jumping in the Saber with his gift.
All six members drove off towards the Vandal camp unknown to them that the vandals were already waiting.
...
"Leave her alone you asshole" Screamed Aria while trying to get free of the ropes that the Vandals tied her up in
"Aaaawww is little Aria afraid to lose her Mamie" Mocked Kalus while forcing Aria to look at him by roughly grabbing her chin.
"haha ha" laughed Aria, "it's me you should be Afraid of" she sneered evilly.
"Hatch take her to see the hostages, then we will see how big she is" Grinned Kalus.
Hatch grabbed Aria roughly by the shoulders and roughly and hoisted her up onto her feat and lead her down the hallway.
"Let go of me you ugly faced...ZOOM, ZOOM WHAT HAPPEND" Aria shouted to her fallen teammates.
"A...Aria it...w..as...a trap" Zoom stammered out he was in so much pain from the torture that he could barely speak.
"NO let me go" Screamed Aria and at the last minute Aria broke free of her bonds and kicked Hatch in the stomach hard enough to daze the roach.
"ZOOM" cried Aria while running up to the scout, "Zoom what happened".
Aria hugged Zoom tightly.
"Aria you don't have to worry all of us of here" Said Vert weakly
"No you why did you follow me you idiots" cried Aria, "now all of you are going to get killed".
"A...Aria c..ome here p...please" asked Zoom with his arms weakly outstretched with his warm hazel eyes smiling at Aria.
Aria snuggled into Zooms broken and broken body "Zoom please don't leave me" pleaded Aria through tears.
All of a sudden Zoom brought his lips to Aria's after a split second she kissed him back but the moment was shattered when Hatch pulled them apart.
"LET ME GO" screamed Aria in sadness and frustration, "ZOOM DON'T WORRY I WILL FIND A WAY TO SAVE ALL OF YOU"
When Hatch had finally managed to drag Aria down the hall Kalus was waiting with an evil smirk of his face.
He leaned down so he was level with Aria's face "not so strong now are you" he sneered "let me show you what happens to people that oppose me"
Kalus dragged Aria to where he mother was lying and when Aria had saw what he had done to her mother she screamed
"MOTHER NO NOT YOU TOO" screamed Aria with rage.
"You basterds you killed her" screamed Aria in rage, "now I will make sure you have something to remember her by" she growled.
With Aria's growing rage her eyes began to become brighter until the Vandals could no longer see the area around them and green vines snaked their way up her arms healing the grief and the pain in her heart that had been inflicted over the years.
"Captain Kalus w...what's happening" shouted Hatch.
"I don't know stand fast" he replied.
Then with no warning the green trails on her arms shot out hitting both Kalus and Hatch.
"Let's see what it feels like to hear a Melody one that I just made for you" growled Aria in a deathly note.
Zoom and the others heard the screaming of Kalus, Hatch and the other Vandal's outside from the Melody.
To the vandals the Melody sounded like a thousand people scraping knives together so that they were ready to carve turkey at thanksgiving and one hundred boys running sticks against metal bars.
Though to Battle force five it sounded like a hundred harps, flutes and pianos all playing in sync to lull them to sleep.
The melody went on for several seconds before stopping and Aria with her body and eye's still faintly glowing green form the use of her power walked slowly down the corridor her black hair now a lush forest green that brushed the floor with every step she took, the leather now gone had been replaced with a sea green dress.
Zooms eyes were beginning to grow heavy when he saw Aria in her new form
"Aria" he muttered.
"Hush" was the only word that slipped from her mouth as she places her hand over his heart.
Zoom shivers at her touch thinking it would be as cold as ice but it made him feel like he was drifting to sleep on clouds and before his eyes closed Aria place her lips to his gently.
Next she moved to Vert and did the same to his but this time she placed her head on his shoulder in a friendly embrace.
Agura was next, Aria raised her hand to the back of her hand but froze when Agura groaned in pain.
"Sshhh Agura" Soothed Aria, Aria undid her dreadlocks so they went down to her shoulders.
"Stanford" said Aria in a gentle voice while placing her hand over his heart as well, all Stanford could muster was a weak smile as their eyes connected an unspoken bond formed between them.
"Brotherly" Was the last thing she said before moving to the Cortez brothers.
As she reached the last in the line she embraced them both at one her arms barely making around both of their shoulders.
"Stick together".
After that Aria's form faded as the whole of battle force 5 slid into an easy sleep and in each of their hearts they knew that this was Aria's goodbye they didn't know how long it would be before they saw her again but they knew she wouldn't reveal them to herself to them unless she wanted to be seen.
The end until next time.
