Here's the next installment! Enjoy!
Mike pulls Karone to the corner after the meeting. The girls went shopping while the boys chaperone them. "Karone, what was the thing that you were going to say to Leo?"
Karone blinked a couple of times. "Oh, um, nothing really. I've been missing him, a lot." She put both her hands together. "Anyway, is that the only thing?"
"Well, he's been acting a lot depressed," Mike informed, "and I want to help him but I just don't know how. I was thinking you could take a look."
"What is lately doing in his depression?" Karone ask, letting go of her hands and rubbing them off on her pants.
"He's been looking through windows," Mike said, "he's been ignoring me...Kendrix...Damon, Kai...Maya. I know he's thinking about something."
"Well, is there anything else that does unusual?" Karone ask, "Talking. Looking at himself. Water works. Sleeping. No Shaving-"
Mike remembers something. "Oh, yeah. I saw him have, um, the water works after you left for this place." Then something came to his realization. "You?! It has to be you."
Karone popped out an eyebrow. "Me? How could it be me?"
"When you left for this place, Leo has been acting like this," Mike explained. "You left. He's in depressed. It all makes sense now."
"Mike, I'm sorry," Karone said, "But Leo can't fall in love with me. I barely want to get marry to a guy I don't love no more."
"But you still like him," Mike added. "And I just need to know if you have any feeling for Leo."
Karone thought about it. "Give me til tomorrow afternoon. After you guys, hopefully, rescue me." Mike nodded and gets out of the room. Karone sits on her couch and grab the remote.
The next day, Karone is in her room, putting on her wedding dress. She got a text from Kendrix. Are you ready? Karone looks at it and swallowed hard. She text back, Yes. Suddenly, she hears the door opens and checks on who was there. Mike came into her apartment. "Mike, what are you doing here? I might still be-"
"I came here to gather your things," Mike said, twisting to his side for her to see a bag.
"Well, can't you do that later," Karone suggested.
"Can't," Mike said, "And why are you wearing that dress? You're not even going to be in the wedding."
"Hey, but I thought-" Karone started as she follows Mike.
They enter her bedroom. "Well, I'm sorry but we need to get going. You have to get out of here. Kai and Maya are waiting for you."
"But where are they?" Karone ask.
"By the docks," Mike informed as he pulls all her shirts in the bag. "It'll only take three minutes to get there."
"And what about you?" Karone ask.
"I'll be arriving as soon as I get Kendrix," Mike explained as he saw her gentle face. Karone nodded. "Listen, I would advise you to hurry and don't think about us okay." Karone walks out of her apartment, carrying nothing with her.
After Mike got everything, he headed towards the wedding. At the wedding, which is out in the clear green grass, Andros is leading her 'sister' to Zhane after some rose petals flew off from the sky. "You nervous?" Andros ask. She shook her head. "Well, today is going to be the last day that you'll be single. I love you, sis. Make me proud." Andros let go of his 'sister' and she walks up to Zhane.
"Listen, Karone," Zhane started, "I'm so glad you're going to be my wife. I could finally tell you anything I want now." She raise her head a little but not far to reveal her face.
"I may grant you guys as husband and w-" a rebel spoke.
"Stop!" a guy in a mask yelled out. He runs up to them and grabs the girl in the wedding dress.
"Stop that guy right now!" the rebel screamed. Guards went chasing after them. The mask guy takes off his mask and reveals to be Mike.
"Mike!" Kendrix said in relief after she uncover her face.
"We need to hurry," Mike commanded. They run quickly to the docks. The guards were firing blasters at them. Kendrix and Mike could see the rocket laying there. "Just a little closer." The run more faster. Kai and Damon both run over to them.
"What's happening?!" Kai ask.
"We'll explain later," Mike said.
"Yeah, before they could catch us," Kendrix said. All four of them run over to the rocket and Mike and Damon got in. Kai and Kendrix went behind some bushes and hid away from the guards.
Outside, the guards are still chasing after them until they saw a huge rocket ship in front of them about to lift off. They back away and felt the smoke and wind on their faces as the rocket flies away.
Inside the rocket, Karone looks through the window, feeling upset. "Hey, are you okay?"
Karone looks at her side and saw Maya. "Yeah, I just feel like I separated with my brother again. And this time...this time it will be different when he's going to find me."
"Don't worry," Maya said with a bright smile. "Mike's plan worked and now you're free."
Karone started to realize it. "I'm free? You know that does sound good after all." Maya smiles as Karone begins to show a smile.
At the backyard of the wedding, the guards walk up to Andros and Zhane. "Sir, they have escaped with a rocket ship."
"What?" Andros said in disbelief. "KO-35 doesn't allow flying mobile no more."
"But sir, we saw that gigantic oil tank flew off with high wind power," another guard said.
Andros shook his head in disbelief. "I don't think so."
"Hey!" a loud voice came out. Kendrix, who was out of the wedding dress and is wearing a pink dress with a mini jacket, and Kai were running up to Andros and Zhane. Andos and Zhane turns around. "Hey," Kendris spoke.
"Guys where's Karone and why are you here and not in...you know...the wedding?" Kai pointed to Zhane.
"Something happen," Andros explains, "Did you guys just get here?" Kendrix and Kai looked at each other and nodded.
"Yep," Kai and Kendrix said in unison. They glane at one another.
"Hey, well, we better check if she left her stuff," Zhane started, "we'll find out if we get any dna."
Andos and Zhane were about to walk off until Kai and Kendrix yell, "No!" They stopped with a surprise look on their face. "You can't go," Kai thought. "Yeah, and there's a reason why!" He turns to Kendrix.
Kendrix nervously bit her lip and spoke out, "Um, yeah, you can't. Maya is still getting in her dress. It's going to take her a long time."
"How come?" Zhane ask.
"Well, you see she's..." Kendrix started but fades to looking at Kai.
"Sh-she's, um, from Mirinoi," Kai explain, " and you know how Mirinoi doesn't wear those fancy tux or dress like we do." Andros and Zhane popped out an eyebrow.
"Are you guys sure you're telling the truth?" Andros ask.
"Yes!" Kai and Kendrix talk in unison once more.
Zhane and Andros nodded a little. "Okay, then, we should go look in her room," Zhane instructed.
"Kai and Kendrix, you two tell that the wedding is cancel because of some issues," Andros commanded, "make you guys don't cause a riot." Kai and Kendrix nodded.
Zhane and Andros run toward Karone's apartment. They open the door and slowly walk in like the house was haunted. As their eyes kept looking everywhere, Andros and Zhane walk in to Karone's bedroom. Both of their hearts pounded very fast, especially Zhane's. Their fears have come true. Everything is gone. Empty. Inside, Zhane could feel his stomach hurting and his heart melting. "She's gone," Zhane said quietly as he slid down to the floor. She is gone.
Suddenly, Ashley and Carlos walk into the room. "What are you guys doing here?" Carlos ask.
"We came to check if Karone's stuff was gone and..." Andros explain as he held his arm up and flow it through the wind for Ashley and Carlos to see.
"What about Zhane?" Ashley ask. Andros walk away as he could answer that. Ashley and Carlos saw Zhane on the ground as a tear fell down; he wipes it away.
"Well, we better get going," Andros said. He walked out with Carlos following.
Ashley looks at Zhane and came forth to him. She sat down with him and rested her hand on his shoulder. "Zhane. I'm so sorry."
"It's not your doing," Zhane forcily said as he wiped away a tear.
Ashley smiled a bit. "Neither yours, I bet." Zhane looks up at here and smile a bit. "Zhane-"
"Stop!" Zhane said in fierce. "Please, just stop, Ashley. I don't need to hear the same stuff everytime."
"Alright," Ashley said as she stands up, "but just know we'll always be there for you..." She walks away but turns back once more at Zhane. "...even if you don't want us to."
