Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
Chapter 66
"Hello, Petal." Erma said, smiling. Petal was standing in the Ranger observation room, talking to Erma and Hastings. She handed Professor Hastings the Blue Gem, who took it.
"You've done well! Good job!" Professor Hastings said, smiling.
"You and Kellyn have certainly earned a commendations." Erma said, smiling. "So you're both promoted to Rank 6."
"Great, Kelly's gonna be so happy!" Petal cheered, smiling.
"Alright, well, go get him." Professor Hastings said, smiling. "I'd like to experiment with the blue gem. Let's meet at the upper observatory." Professor Hastings and Chairperson Erma walked up the escalator to the observatory, smiling.
"Alright, Kelly!" Petal said, running downstairs.
The door slammed open, and I fell back, shocked.
"Kelly." Petal said, smiling. "Come on."
"What? Why?" I asked, frowning.
"Because, we need to see the blue gem in action." Petal said, smiling. "Let's go!"
Petal grabbed onto my hand and dragged me out of the room, leaving Rio there with the three moemon. Oh, crap.
"So, Rio, want to learn more stuff about your daddy?" Nyu asked, smiling.
"Okay!" Rio said, smiling enthusiastically.
Petal lead me up to the observatory, which, again, was a giant tree. Professor Hastings, Chairperson Erma, and Keith were all standing there.
"Ah, Kellyn, Petal, good to see you." Professor Hastings said, smiling. "I was just explaining about the blue gem. You see, I developed a special amplification system for this test."
"What does this system do, exactly?" Keith asked.
"The system draws from the vitality of our Tree of Harmony right here." Professor Hastings said, gesturing to the large tree on the observatory.
"The energy of the blue gem shall course throughout Almia, and render the Gigaremo and Miniremo ineffective." Hastings explained. "Now, Kelly, as congratulations for acquiring the blue gem, we all agree that placing it on the dais should be your honor."
"Alright, thanks, Professor." I said, taking the blue gem from his hands. I walked over to the tree and placed the gem on the dais. The gem began glowing with blue light, the light shooting up into the tree. The tree began glowing, and then the glowing ceased.
"Incoming report!" Rythmi said, running up to the observatory. "The moemon in Pueltown have returned to their normal selves!"
"Professor!" Murph said, running up to the observatory, one of the dark shards inside some sort of device in his hands. "The dark shard! Its power is dropping!"
"Really?" Hastings asked. "How much have they decreased by?"
"The power level has dropped by 4500!" Murph exclaimed. "But it's still dropped by only about a third!"
"What? So its power level is still over 9000?" Professor Hastings asked, shocked.
"Bad news!" Linda walked up as well, frowning.
"Great, all of a sudden it's a party." Keith said frowning.
"There are many moemon still being controlled in the Vien Forest!" Linda said, frowning. "And the moemon in Pueltown are being controlled again!"
"So its effects are incomplete…" Professor Hastings said, frowning. "Our plan has failed…"
Suddenly, Rythmi's chest began glowing with a yellow energy.
"My chest is glowing!" Rythmi exclaimed, shocked.
"It's about time, you're flat as a board." Linda smirked.
"Glowing, not growing!" Rythmi said, frowning. "And look! Your chest is shining too!" Rythmi pointed at Linda, whose chest was shining with a red light.
"Alright, you shiny people, walk closer to the dark shard!" Hastings ordered. Linda and Rythmi walked to the shard, the three of their chests shining with light, turning the shard from black to crystal clear.
"The shard…" Murph said, shocked. "It's meter… It's dropped to zero! Linda, Rythmi, you wouldn't have shards in your chests too, would you?"
"Yeah, Sven gave it to me!" Linda said, showing the red shard pendent she was wearing.
"Sven gave one to me, too!" Rythmi said, showing the group the yellow pendent she had.
"My pendent's prettier than yours." Rythmi said, smiling.
"Well, mine's bigger!" Linda said, grinning.
"Size doesn't matter, its prettiness!" Rythmi said angrily.
"Enough!" Hastings said, frowning. "More importantly, where'd Sven get those pendents?"
"He said mine was a souvenir from Boyleland." Linda said, smiling.
"Mine's from the Haruba Desert." Rythmi answered.
"I see…" Hastings said, frowning. "Well, then there's only one explanation…"
"What?" Keith asked, brimming with excitement.
"There are two more gems like the blue gem on Boyleland and in the Haruba Desert." Professor Hastings said, frowning.
"Say it…" Keith said, ecstatic.
"Keith, Petal, Kellyn, I want the three of you to go to Boyleland and the Haruba Desert, and examine the situation with the possibility of two gems!" Professor Hastings ordered.
"Yes!" Keith cheered. "Awesome!"
"Alright, Keith, we'll head out to Boyleland, and you can go to the Haruba Desert." I said, smiling. "That sound good, Petal?"
"So, a resort island with beach, versus a sandy and dirty desert?" Petal asked, weighing the options.
"Well, what do you think?" I asked, smiling.
"Best. Boyfriend. EVER!" Petal said, kissing me on the cheek.
"Great…" Keith said, rolling her eyes. "They're a freaking love story, and I'm stuck going off to a desert."
"Alright, I need to go pack!" Petal exclaimed, smiling, pushing me out of the way, running downstairs.
"I'd better head out too." I said, heading out after her.
I walked down the escalator, and arrived at my room.
"Hey, guys." I said, walking into the room.
"Daddy!" Rio said, running up to me, hugging me on the leg.
"Rio!" Petal said, coming up after me, smiling, having stopped for a brochure. "Guess what? Daddy and I are heading out to Boyleland!"
"Mommy!" Rio said, smiling. "What's debauchery?"
"…Eh?" Petal asked, frowning. "Where'd you learn that?"
"They told me about debauchery, and how Kelly likes doing debauchery!" Rio said, smiling. "What's debauchery?"
"Oh… You told her ALL about that, didn't you?" Petal asked, smiling at the three of them happily. "Told my little girl."
"…No…" The three said, petrified in fear.
So, how will Boyleland go? Let's see!
