Power Rangers: Eltar
Episode 4: Mahluh's Story
Daito Continent, Wisdom Lake Medical Center, Mahluh's room
Pink, who is standing guard next to her bed, speaks, "We are the Power Rangers. We saved you from the Noxturn Soldiers who were attacking our planet." Mahluh looks scared, so she bends down and says, "Don't worry… No one's going to hurt you while we're here." The other four figures nod at this sentence. This seems to have some relief on Mahluh, although she still appears to be a nervous wreck. All of a sudden, she breaks down into tears and Yellow walks over to her, "Here… You needing a hug?" Mahluh immediately accepts the offered hug. She remains in that position for a hour, nothing moving or making a sound besides her.
Mahluh finally stops crying and looks up at Pink, "Could you and Red stay in here while I tell you my story? I don't know why but having all five of you here with me is kinda overwhelming me." Red looks at Green, Yellow, and Blue and nods towards the door. Blue appears to be saddened but is understanding at the same time. Blue, Green, and Yellow walk out of the door, before they close the door again, Mahluh shouts, "Can you ask the staff about food for me? I am hungry and I haven't heard them say anything about that." Blue yells back, "I'll do it." Yellow then nods to Pink and Red and shuts the door.
Mahluh sighs and begins her story, "I was born on what is now referred to as Noxturn Empire Slave Planet #16, although the original name before the capture was Binkinda. It's name is based on the Eleusnian religion's goddess of the planet. The Eleusnian religion is from a long dead civilization called the Eleuns, who were my species' ancestors. The horrors that I have faced as a slave are unspeakable, when I was young my mother was taken to be a personal general directly under Emperor Noxturn, himself. She rose to become his right-hand general earning his trust from being able to be cloned and give birth to the billions of monstrous generals and admirals for his army. I was given to one of the slave handlers, while that handler was nice and helpful to me in our private home, in public I had to be abused both emotionally and physically as per the cultural norms of the Slave Planets.
About a year into my live with the family of the slave handler who I was given too, the planet was attacked by a small rebellion from a small sect of systems who were, at the time, recently conquered by the Empire. My family took full advantage of it to escape, being unwilling slave handlers, and allowed me to escape with some supplies and the various needs I would need to survive the horrors of the Empire's hold. While I was travelling the various systems within the Empire, I became stronger from seeing the various horrors and gained amazing knowledge and allies from the planets. Unfortunately, after about 3 years in my travels, I grew bold and started a large scale rebellion against the Empire. Which has since been completely destroyed with me being the only survivor and now I am on the run from my own mother, who's fleet is after my personal capture.
I've been on the run for about 2 years straight, the fleet shot down my ship and I crash landed on this planet. Although granted, the fleet was planning to invade here anyway. I may have sped up some of the invasion process but either way this attack was inevitable." Red and Pink looked at each other while Mahluh sighed and just laid in bed while she watched the reactions of the two brightly colored individuals.
Red stated, "While I am not quite sure how to feel about this situation. I am going to have Pink stay as a guard while Yellow; Blue, after getting you food; and me go do some research on this. I hope that we able to work together but at this stage we are not going to trust you given the timing and situation."
