PowrRangrFreeek: Well this really doesn't say whether his parents get him back or not but it will be in one of the next couple of chapters.
Phantom Rogue: Thanks. It's really not that hard, especially after what they give us to go on in the show.
Ch. 6 Alone Again
Four months had passed since Kilee was born and Andros had slowly begun to trust himself around her. He was an over-protective big brother but everyone knew he meant well. At the moment Kilee was in her playpen and Andros was watching her.
"Hey, Andros!" Karone yelled, running down the stairs.
"What Karone?" he asked just as loudly.
"Do you want to go to the park?" she questioned as she ran into the living room.
"Did Mom and Dad say it was okay?" he inquired.
"I haven't asked them yet," Karone replied, smiling shyly.
"Well, I think you have to get permission before we can go," Andros answered, smiling back at her. Upon hearing his response she ran up the stairs as fast as she could to their parents' room.
"Mommy! Daddy!" she yelled as she ran through their open door. "Can me and Andros go play at the park?" She looked at them with her most adorable look and they couldn't say no.
"Yes, but be back in time for dinner," Katerina replied, but she really doubted Karone had heard her past the yes.
"They said yes! They said yes!" she screamed as she ran back down the stairs. Andros was already standing by the door with his shoes on. "Cheater!" she accused but put her boots on quickly. As soon as the door shut they took off running in the direction of the park an unstated race going on between them. "Did you bring it?"
Andros pulled the telekinesis ball out of his pocket and expanded it out in front of him. They both made themselves comfortable on the grass before beginning their game. Andros started the ball and soon they were fighting for control. When he won Karone made several faces at him before returning her concentration to the game. Once she got the ball away from him she intentionally 'threw' the ball over his head and into the trees behind him.
"Karone!" he yelled, running after the ball. "Why'd you do that for?"
"You were mean!" she screamed back at him. Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist and pulled her away. "Andros! Help!"
"Karone?" he cried from the trees. By the time he made his way out he saw Karone being pulled away. He ran after the monster as fast as he could and kicked it as soon as he got close enough. The monster just whirled around and shoved him down causing him to hit his head and fall unconscious.
After an hour had passed and Andros and Karone had not returned from the park Katerina and Zel decided to go looking for them. When they found Andros he had a tremendous amount of blood pouring from his head. Zel pulled out his phone (one like Zhane has to morph) and called an ambulance. Katerina demanded to ride with Andros while Zel went back to the house to pick up their other children. He had searched for Karone while they had waited for the ambulance and had only found her shoe.
Almost three hours had passed since they had all arrived at the hospital. Andros had to be rushed into surgery to stop bleeding in his brain and they could only hope that he could remember what had happened to Karone. Soon Danielle, the nurse that had taken care of Andros before, came out to tell them that he was in recovery.
"You should be able to see him once he wakes up," she explained. "The doctor said not to ask him about Karone right away. You need to wait even though it's probably not the best think for her.
Meanwhile, Darkonda packed a no four-year-old Karone into the Throne Room of the Dark Fortress. He sat her down on the ground but kept a firm grasp on her shoulder.
"Dark Specter told me to retrieve the child from you," Ecliptor stated from behind them. He was in a human form to make Karone feel more comfortable. It wasn't that he really cared but he knew this girl was his ticket to the top of the evil monarchy. He took Karone and gave her a plate of food. "Now, you be good or we'll gave problems. Understood?" Karone nodded, understanding that he meant business and that it was no time to test her boundaries. As she ate she couldn't help but think about Andros and she hoped desperately that he was okay.
