The Phantom Princess
A Power Rangers In Space Fic
By: Malaizjan P.J. Shultz
***Since I normally write Batman Beyond and Young Justice fics, I had this fic collecting dust in a notebook. When my fellow DC co-author Reina Grayson decided to re-write her PR fic, I decided to take a break as well and get my own PR fic out. And she has helped me improve a few parts so it's way better than what I wrote WAAAAAAYYY back in 2000... I don't own Power Rangers or any of its seasons because if I did…it would have had at least a PG13 and above rating…As such, my fic is rated teen. ***
Chapter 9
Back in the past…
The Gold Ranger watched as Cerina filled her next empty container with water. She had herself positioned sideways on her hunches, as if she expected to be attacked from behind and didn't present her back.
He waited for her to move but she never did. She was so cautious in her movements that he grew impatient.
Cerina stood up and the Gold Ranger was posed to strike when he saw that Cerina's left hand inched to her Space Sais...and he knew that she sensed his presence. Her perceptions of her environment were always top notch; it was a skill no other ranger ever fully mastered.
He backed away slowly, silently so she wouldn't see him.
Cerina packed up her gear and walked away from him, a hand on one of her sais.
Frustrated, the Gold Ranger stood up. Before he could pursue her, he heard his comm come to life. "Gold Ranger...you are needed." came Gasket's voice.
"My King...I am in pursuit of Queen Cerina," he whispered.
"Leave her to the Mercerites. She was foolish to come to me. Now you can complete your mission back at the castle."
"As you wish, Master." The Gold Ranger then summoned Mercerites…..100 in all. He used his finger-length remote to activate the hologram program imbedded into their programing. All 100 Mercerites changed their appearance to that of the Gold Ranger. Nodding at the results and likeness of himself, he summoned a time portal to return to his own time.
The Mercerites locked onto Cerina's heat signature and all of them spread out, hoping to corner her.
Cerina started climbing up to the cave her and Justin were camped out at.
She paused half-way up. The Eltarian Princess sensed that something felt very wrong. She then changed direction and climbed over to the far left.
Cerina then looked back down.
A blast came up at her, and struck the rocks under her.
She screamed as she fell off of the rock face and landed onto the ground twenty feet below. She gasped and groaned in pain as she moved.
She blinked several times, the pain setting her body on overload.
She sat up rather slowly and she saw the Gold Ranger purposely make his way to her.
Her eyes had stark terror in them. Her face went white with fear. Her heart beats were being measured by her amounting panic...
Everyone had taken different directions, Andros and TJ remaining behind for now to check Omega more. Borrowed comms for the former rangers in tow, seeing as the originals comms were different from the others….they needed a common system. Now they could keep in constant contact.
Andros moved deeper into Omega and although wires hung from above him and they sparked with power, nothing could have prepared him for what he came upon.
Beta…in pieces.
Beta's torso hung nearly separated from the rest of him.
His head was nearly decapitated, with only wires that were fried holding him together...kinda.
Andros ran to Beta and checked to see if by some miracle Beta was still online.
But he was off-line.
"TJ!" Andros yelled frantically.
There was feet stomping and TJ came into view. "Andros?!"
"TJ...this is bad..." Andros said. He kneeled before the downed android. "This is...was Beta. He was Cerina's protector."
"So he was like Alpha six, yet it seems he wasn't a match for the evil Gold Ranger..." TJ commented. "Looks like he put up one hell of a fight, though."
"Yeah. Same basic design. But Beta had the fire power to back them up."
"We need to get him back to DECA. We might be able to repair him. If not, the scientists on Eltar can..." Andros looked so lost. "Beta was there...at the start of the Space Rangers."
"That's right TJ...he was. We made so many mistakes against Lord Zedd...and Beta bailed us out."
"But he went with Cerina after she faked her death..."
"He was decommissioned after she "died". He must've found her. Beta had a great tracking system. I couldn't tell you how many times he came to rescue us Space Rangers in the beginning…"
"I've only heard of Billy's genius, but maybe he can get Beta back together and online." TJ remarked.
"Yeah. Help me get him back. After everything he did to help me out as a ranger...he deserves to be put back together."
"Right."
"DECA, prepare for teleportation, Me and TJ...along with a robot." Andros said into his morpher.
"Right away Andros."
Jason and Trey were searching the edge of the small stretch of forest for any tracks.
"How have you been doing since returning the ranger power to me?" Trey asked; curiosity in his mind.
"Ok. No effects. It's almost like it never happened." Up until now, the two had been quiet, a cloud hanging over the pair.
"Do you miss being a ranger?"
"Sometimes," Jason admitted. "I wonder...if I would miss it to the point of stealing your ranger powers."
"I do not believe that you stole them...I believe you destroyed me for them." Trey said, figuring out what Jason was talking about.
"How? I thought no one can touch you?" Jason peered into the dark forest, trying to mask his shock from such a statement.
"You are an ex ranger, and a formidable warrior. Besides, I understand that evil makes you stronger."
Jason said nothing.
"Tommy and I have talkied and he told me about what happened with Maligore."
"Ah." Jason then spotted two sets of footprints. "Trey...looks like Cerina and Justin went this way..."
Trini and Billy headed due east; toward the rocky sand dunes of Kilos.
She pointed out to Billy all of the different plants that Cerina had pointed out to Trini over the years. Billy soaked up the knowledge.
Trini kept rubbing her morpher, which stayed hidden under her long sleeved shirt.
"Trini? Are you uneasy?"
"Mercerites show up when you never want them to..." Trini snapped her head over at a rock formation as soon as she heard a noise.
It bothered Billy that Trini was so on guard; but she had been gone for almost 4 years. The Trini he knew had been...dampened.
Billy watched as Trini seemed to be eyeing that same rock formation, which looked like a twisted coral-thing, and he had a bad feeling... "Should we go there?"
"It wouldn't hurt…Cerina liked caves…"
Zack and Kimberly picked their way through the brush as they were slow in their search.
But Kim was clearly upset about the way the teams were set up.
"Kim? What's on your chest?"
"I was hoping to talk to Tommy. But he went with Zhane. It's like he's trying NOT to be alone with me or something."
"Well, you did break up with him in a letter. From a guy's point of view, we get hurt but we move on."
"I want a second chance, Zack." Kimberly straightened herself and moved ahead of Zack.
"Tommy told me about the letter. You said you felt like you met the person you were meant to be with." Zach remarked as he ran to catch up to Kim.
"I know. That lasted 2 years. He was jealous of my Penn Gobal success."
"Tommy was hurt, last I knew of he was with Kat for a while, but I don't know where that went. He's pretty ho-hum about it." Zack then saw some foot tracks near Kimberly and kneeled down to check them out. "This isn't good."
Kimberly agreed. There were multiple sets of footprints headed toward the mountain range.
"Looks like this gold ranger is on Cerina's trail, let's go." Kim said.
Zack tapped his comm. "Um...Andros? We may not be alone here," Zack said.
"I figured as much," Andros agreed. "I counted 20 on my end. Anyone else?"
"We got a few sets too," Carlos added.
"Stay close in your groups. Don't fight if you can help it." Andros warned the others.
Shadow and Cassie were checking around, and after hearing that the others had found tons of Mercerite footprints, they were staying really close together.
Cassie watched Shadow from the corner of her eye checking the ground in front of them. "Is something...wrong?"
"No...I thought Cerina might be bending light to cover her tracks but there's nothing here."
"After the fight, she's probably weak."
"Not Cerina. She always has energy." Shadow sounded so sure of himself.
"Could anything happen that would make her use her powers enough to weaken herself? Like if she or even Justin were hurt?"
"Maybe. But it takes a lot of energy to do it...cloaking..."
Cassie just looked at Shadow.
"If she's cloaking an entrance of anything, depending on how large the opening is...it can drain her. And that's when she has no injuries... Cerina's small. So the amount of power she has is based on the ratio of body mass..."
"So if she used her cloaking AND healed herself or anyone hurt..."
"Or any combination of anything...she can overexert herself. And if she doesn't properly rest..." Shadow looked ahead at the alcove of caves some distance away..."She'd go there..."
Just then, Shadow stopped. "Cassie, I've been thinking about something..."
"You think Cerina went to the mountains?" Cassie asked.
"That and...seeing how Zhane still has feelings for her...makes me think about us."
Cassie was taken back. "Us?"
"I know you like me, but I feel more than that for you." Shadow said as he went down to one knee.
Cassie backed up. She was so not ready for this.
"I mean it; when you were the pink turbo ranger, you did everything you could to help me; and yet, I never expressed that. Now I am, and I wish to be with you forever."
"Shadow...I'm...I like you a lot...and I don't know how things are done on Eltar...I'm not ready... I'm sorry..."
"I believe the earth phrase is: The offer will stand...whenever you're ready."
There was a sigh of relief from her...but she felt bad for rejecting the offer. "I'm really sorry. It's just...I need more time. To get to know you...And this was all of a sudden…"
"I can understand that. You're right, Eltar is different, but I spent enough time on Earth to see that you are right too. We did not spend enough time as ourselves around each other. As I said, the offer will stand until you are ready."
Cassie smiled at him. "When we rescue your sister, we are so spending time together."
"Then let's hurry up and find her." Shadow said with a smile as he stood up.
He headed right for the mountain area, holding out his hand for Cassie to take; which she did.
They weren't far from Omega when Tommy looked at Zhane and noticed he had a determined look on his face. "She's a tough girl, Zhane. Look, I know you want answers-"
"I want more than that. I want her in my arms...forever."
"I know how you feel, but Kim and I just weren't meant to be," Tommy remarked.
"That's not me and Cerina!" Zhane exclaimed.
"I know, but for a while, Kim and I were the way you're acting about Cerina."
"Did you ever have to save her from dying?" Zhane asked.
Tommy chuckled. "Yea, a couple of times."
"Me too. Zedd never played with us Space Rangers."
"Wait...you guys fought Zedd?!"
"Yea, he wasn't easy...but we were just kids at the time, so inexperienced."
"Then he left for Earth..." Tommy reasoned.
"Then it was Gasket and Archerina...until she 'died' "
"Dang…then we got them along with Gasket's parents."
"I guess they all tracked Zordon down and seeing as he was protecting Earth...they wanted it." Zhane remarked, but his voice still held sadness about Cerina. "But...I think Gasket planned to get rid of Cerina and Shadow way before now… " Zhane stepped over a raised tree root.
"They're Zordon's kids; I bet they wanted to weaken him emotionally."
"Yeah. But very few knew of Fadus. Which was a good thing."
"It is. He was safe from the enemies. So how did he stay hidden for so long?"
"Well, Rita took his coin away so without a coin, he wasn't a threat. Very few knew that Fadus was really Zordon's son. Zordon was married twice. Fadus was from his first marriage."
"Wait...his coin wasn't the green one, was it?"
"Yeah."
"Oh man...so I had HIS legacy to live up to." Tommy had no idea that being the Green Ranger was supposed to fall to this Fadus guy.
"Fadus was an amazing Green Ranger. He was known as the most dangerous ranger in the universe...dangerous for the bad guys."
"Yea, Jason and I were a fierce combo...after I got out from under Rita's spell."
"I believe it. I would love to see Dragonzord in dragon mode one more time. It breathed ice fire."
"Didn't know about that."
"You never knew it had a dragon mode? Did you know about the gold shield?"
"I know I could transfer it when the others needed the protection."
"Ok. Zordon never told you? Obviously you knew about its two zord modes..."
"There was its mode when it came out of the sea; then it had its battle mode and it could combine with the other zords to form an Ultra Dragonzord."
"Yeah. But did you know that it could turn into a dragon?"
"Did not know that, tell me about it." Tommy replied with excitement in his voice. He had been a ranger for a long time, with different eras of rangers…but he missed Dragonzord the most…
"I only saw it once... but Dragonzord, when called on, came out of the sky in black and green metal in imitation of Earth's long-lithe dragons. In the right light, it looked like it owned scales. But then it changed into its Battle Mode."
Tommy was stunned, he never knew this, but was amazed. "And this ice fire breath?"
"Oh, with a 6-note flute blow, the ice fire came out in its dragon mode only."
"As Billy would say; morphinominal. I wish I could have seen it before the green ranger powers were drained forever."
"Yeah. If I could see it one more time..." Zhane then saw movement in the thick trees and stopped.
Zhane looked at the bushes, and Tommy recognized the look on his teammates face. "Take them from both sides?" Tommy whispered.
"Yeah. Be careful. I can't tell what it is yet. Could be Mercerites," Zhane whispered.
Tommy nodded and the two former rangers split and went to either side of the trees.
Zhane tip-toed to the bushes...and a 6-antler headed animal on rabbit's feet hopped out of the bushed and kept going.
Zhane laughed. "Wow...I am paranoid!"
"How bad are the Mercerites?" Tommy questioned. "Did you ever fight them before?"
"Yeah. We weren't ready for them. They put the Super Putties to horrible shame. We were all injured..." Zhane took a breath and let it out slowly. "Cerina...used her...Space Sais to tear one up...they weren't...happy..."
"Then that's when Cerina did it. Andros said something about the purple space ranger being about protection more than anything."
"Yeah. All I remember was seeing her leading them to toward a cliff before passing out...then when I came to...she was gone...and her blood led off the cliff..."
Tommy didn't know what to say, he'd never dealt with the death of a fellow ranger, but he knew she did it for a good reason. "Zhane, let me ask this..."
Zhane looked right at Tommy.
"If you were the purple ranger and she were silver; would you have done the same thing if YOU were the one the Mercerites were truly after?"
"I don't know..." Zhane answered. He never thought about the role reversal. And why would he have done that? Cerina had been dead all this time.
"She didn't want to lose you, and I'm sure you two were engaged by then, right?"
"We were..." Zhane then saw a blur…a purple blur.
"You thinking what I'm thinking." Tommy stated as he also saw the blur.
"CERINA!" Zhane ran after it.
"Yep, he's thinking it." Tommy said as if Zhane hadn't even heard him.
That's when 20 Mercerites ran after that blur.
"Crap."
Andros and TJ were not strangers to searching a planet together, and this was a BIG mission. After setting Beta into the science lab, both TJ and Andros left DECA to head for the mountain area.
Using the Galaxy Gliders, the pair got there in about 10 minutes.
The mountain was littered with dozens of caves. Starting on the lower ledges, Andros and TJ checked out each cave.
"Why did you want to head here?" TJ asked.
"Cerina loves caves. So if she needed to hide in a cave, this area would be the likely spot."
TJ hit his head on the top of one cave. "OW!"
"Careful. She was always smaller, so this cave might work." Andros got on his knees to shine his light into it.
"Nothing," TJ announced, rubbing his forehead.
"We need to check them all," Andros told him.
"So, you saw her as a little sister?" TJ asked, knowing Andros' past of growing up without Karone.
"Yeah. She was the youngest at 13. And managed to get into a little trouble." Andros smiled. "And when your older brothers are Shadow and Fadus...things happen."
"Example?"
"She was learning to fly DECA and she shut off the autopilot…almost got the Astro Megaship sucked into a black hole."
"Wow, but what did Shadow and Fadus have to do with that?"
"Each one was raised different. Fadus was raised to rule, Shadow to lead and Cerina...she had lots of freedom..." Andros' brow frowned. "All of this running...it must've grated her need to be free."
"So Cerina is going to be interesting to meet," TJ mused as they hit the next cave.
"That she is, but you've seen some of what she could do. I just hope Justin's alright too." Andros said. Even though he had only met Justin on one mission, he was worried since the boy had never been off of Earth before now. It was then that an idea hit the Red Space Ranger.
"What're looking for?"
"Something's not right. See, if Cerina is hiding them both, she would bend the light to reflect emptiness. But if you shine a light, you can see the faint light reflect this light. That's how we find them."
"Ah." TJ then saw a narrow path heading upward to the next area of caves. "Are we heading up?"
"Yeah." Andros got up and headed for it.
TJ started up, and felt how steep it was going up.
He and Andros made their way up to the next area. A little winded but otherwise alright.
Inside the cave; Justin was listening to the sounds outside, and he heard rocks sliding, like someone was walking toward him. He stayed quiet, but he was also ready to fight if he had to. He did feel better but wasn't a hundred percent.
Outside, Andros shined his light around a cave's entrance. "There's one more area if they aren't here."
"Andros?" Justin said lowly.
Andros paused. He headed for the next cave.
Justin saw Andros come into view, followed by TJ.
"Guys!" Justin said with a happy tone in his voice.
"Justin?!" TJ walked into the cave, Andros right behind him. As they headed in, they felt a shield bend around them, so Andros had been right about Cerina hiding them both.
"TEJ!"
"You look good," TJ said
Justin crawled out of his sleeping bag.
That was when TJ saw how tired the young Ranger was.
The two space rangers also saw his foot and leg wrapped. "You ok?"
"Slipped on some alien moss, it really did a number on my foot and I got sick. Cerina healed me with her light power though."
"Can you walk on it?" Andros asked.
"Yea.
"Ok. Where's Cerina?"
"I don't know...I suppose she went out to get more supplies."
"Let's go then. We'll take you back to the Astro Megaship, then look for her." Andros told the young ranger.
"I'll call Zhane, Cerina shouldn't be far away." TJ said.
"We need to pack up." Justin repacked everything pretty quickly, making sure he had both bags.
Justin slowly stood up and limped to the entrance.
"Ok. This won't work. Galaxy Glider, hang ten." Andros called.
"Oh wow, I get to ride on it this time?"
"Yeah. And you look flushed."
"Fever."
"Zhane, Tommy...we found Justin," TJ said over the comm.
"I figured as much."
"Cerina said that the moss here can really tear up the skin. She took care of me, but she must have slipped out while I was resting," Justin said as something red came toward them.
"Ok..." TJ went to them. "The Mercerites are here and chased Cerina. But she's safe now."
"Oh man; who found her?" Justin asked curious about who all was here on this planet.
"Zhane and Tommy."
"That's good, any idea of how she's doing, did they say?"
"Nope."
"Everyone, this is Andros. Rendezvous back at the Astro Megaship."
"Galaxy Glider, hang ten." TJ said, and with that his blue glider came soaring to him. TJ jumped on his and Andros helped Justin up on the red one and boarded it so they could all get back fast, and he could keep an eye on Justin for the ride back.
Tommy followed Zhane and was at a speed where he could really keep up. Zhane was ready to really give it to the Mercerites, but his first thought was to get to Cerina. He managed to cut the group of blurs off.
Tommy was quickly there as one of the now seen MANY Gold Rangers went right after Zhane. The ex-leader of the Original Earth Rangers was ready with a combo move to two of the others.
Cerina backed up into a tree, holding her side as Zhane moved closer to her. "No..." she said. Justin, she expected to try and help…not Zhane….not the man she let go...Cerina blocked the next strike and then she kicked the bot back. She knew she had to take them all down.
But how?
Cerina knew of one attack in her arsenal that she hadn't used in several years, but the reason for that was it had to be combined with Zhane's Super Silverizer. "Zhane, combo time!" she said weakly.
Zhane knew exactly what his betrothed was talking about so he was quick in his thinking as he and Tommy were taking out, as they now know, Mercerites in disguise. "Let's Rocket."
In a spilt second, the Silver ranger appeared in Zhane's place and he threw his Super Silverizer to Cerina. Her Space Sais connected to the front of the arm mounted Silverizer's blaster mode and suddenly it had three blast points.
"Super Sai Silverizer, full power!" Cerina said; the weakness still in her voice. The weapon powered up and as it blasted, Tommy and Zhane were still fighting these robots, but they were never hit with a blast...as they seemed to be targeted on anything evil.
A blue light struck all of the Gold Rangers-short circuiting them out in seconds. All 20 of those bots fell to the ground and blew up all around them.
A piece of a bot's head hit Cerina in the shoulder and she dropped the combined weapon.
Zhane looked at Cerina.
Cerina looked at Zhane.
Their eyes locked.
There was still love there. Worry. Concern…but no anger on Zhane's part. Not anymore.
Cerina was about to head to her betrothed and really apologize for what happened when she was 13, but just as she got her strength, more Gold Ranger/Mercerites appeared.
"Go, we'll take care of these guys, get somewhere safe." Tommy said, and with that he jumped at the two that were about to grab the purple space ranger.
Cerina had never seen this person before, but he was risking his life for her, so she listened to him and took off, wanting to get Justin moved to a safer location.
"Zhane, these guys won't take long, then we can follow her," Tommy said, and with that Zhane grabbed his Super Silverizer, removed the sais and kept them to return to Cerina.
It didn't take long to finish off this second group of Mercerites, and they took off in the direction that Cerina had gone.
Five Minutes Later
Cerina kept firing back behind her, seeing as some other Mercerites were on her tail and she was trying to dodge blasts and hide all at the same time. One Mercerite managed to hit her leg and she stumbled. She got it back with a blast of her own. But that opened up more hits and she took them, running slower and slower…
One tackled her to the ground and she fell hard, hitting her head on the edge of a rock. Pain exploded in her head and her vision grayed but she still fought back, firing away as one bot assassin managed to hit her shoulder with a fist.
Something cracked.
Cerina was eventually pinned to the ground, and when her vision focused for a second, she saw that all of the Mercerites had aimed their arm blasters at her head.
"Queen Cerina, you are hear-by scheduled for termination by King Gasket of the Machine Empire…"
Cerina closed her eyes and glowed.
And glowed.
And glowed.
She was so bright that her light powers blinded the Mercerites' optic sensors and she sent that light through them all, making them explode all around her. She panted before pulling herself to her knees…then her feet and ran for the small alcove of caves that were near the edge of the desert itself. She needed to hide.
Getting to the caves, she found that she was bleeding from her mouth, her side, her leg…it seemed like everywhere. She could hear the pounding of feet coming up behind her. So she ducked into the smallest of caves, one she could fit in and crawled to the back of it.
It wasn't a deep cave.
She aimed her Space Blaster at the entrance. If any more 'bots showed up, she was going to shoot first and ask questions later. Her head was pounding too. She was hurt and she knew it. Her arm shook, the one which held the blaster, but she was going to defend herself. Even if she died, at least with Zhane there with that other guy could find Justin and get him away from all this.
She head the steps come closer. As soon as she saw something solid, she fired.
Zhane narrowly avoided Cerina's blast from the crawl-only cave. "Cerina, stop!" he cried, his voice frantic. "It's me!"
"You can't fool me!" Cerina declared.
"I like you, you like me, let's get married." Zhane said, knowing that the Mercerites didn't know about that. And it was the first thing that came to him.
Cerina gasped. She paused, her arm that held her blaster shaking as she lowered it. "Zhane," she whispered; exhaustion in her sudden tired voice.
Zhane crawled in and the small cave was wide enough for him to sit next to her. He assessed her injuries and he wanted to get her back to the Astro Megaship fast. Zhane saw Cerina move to crawl into his lap but she lacked the strength. The Silver Ranger gathered her onto his lap, and he pried her blaster from her limp hand. "It's ok, Cerina..."
"Zhane...I'm sorry..." she whispered.
"It's alright, at least the kid kept you alive." Zhane said; showing his doubt in Justin's abilities.
"Justin is more than just a kid..." Cerina then winced as she moved.
"He's 13...to me he's a kid."
"You want to argue with me about him? Go get him first. He's hurt too."
Tommy kneeled down to see Zhane and Cerina. "I just got word. TJ found Justin."
Cerina was smiling inside, she had wonderful friends and teammates, even these original rangers cared about her….and they didn't even know her. And these people had to be former rangers, for who else would help Zhane and Andros find her?
"Thanks. Tommy, this is Princess Cerina. Cerina, this is Tommy, one of the first Earth Rangers."
"I've heard a lot about you. Trini really looked to you as leader while you were the white ranger…and even when Jason couldn't lead while you were the green ranger."
"I'm just glad Trini was safe." Tommy looked around him. "You need to get medical attention, your Highness."
"And so formal...Zhane, why can't you be like him." Cerina said with a small laugh in her voice.
Zhane frowned.
"Don't frown...I was just kidding, my love." Cerina then coughed. She tasted blood on her lips.
"Can you call your galaxy glider?" Zhane asked, worry now in his voice.
"Um...I think so." Cerina sat up. "Galaxy...glider...hang ten..." she bit out.
Zhane started to maneuver her out of the cave. With Tommy helping, both eased her to the ground as she tried to sit up.
"Easy..." Zhane whispered; a note of affection in his voice.
"Zhane, we have to move, get out of here. The Gold Ranger-"
"The only Gold Ranger here, on this planet, is Trey. Don't worry...relax..."
"It's not Trey...This is a different Gold Ranger...we have to protect the Gold Ranger powers."
"Protect it how?" Tommy asked, curious.
"I...I'm not sure..." she admitted. It was then that she passed out.
Zhane checked her pulse and felt how weak it was. "She needs to rest..."
"There it is!" Tommy pointed to the purple glider heading for them.
"You ever rode one?" Zhane asked Tommy.
"No, but Justin said they seemed easy just by sight."
"Ok. Just keep your balance and stay low to the ground." Zhane picked her up in his arms and turned toward Tommy.
"You're going to look around aren't you?"
"Yea. I need to check one of those assassin robots we took out."
"Alright, contact any of us if you need help." Tommy said and with that he gently took Cerina and got on the glider.
Zhane nodded to his new friend and ran in the direction of the robot while Tommy started to SLOWLY fly back to Omega and wait for the others.
