A Dark Dance

Reunion! The Real Force.

The five followed the trio up to Erma and they were able to explain what happened. Forgiveness was given due to them returning to the right side. Scarlet and Spenser went to regain their friendship in Fiore while Rand went down to Oblivia. Sven and Admiral were able to pull Dijon, Crepe and Seafoam off to the side. Crepe was half awake as the duo panicked. Seafoam was able to calm Admiral down while the boys calmed Sven down.

"Guys... I don't think I can go up to the third floor. After what happened with Linda..." Dijon smiled softly. A soft voice escaped Crepe.

"Sven... Linda has been trying to talk to you since this all happened. You should go talk to her. It might help." Sven looked at him as Crepe grasped his hand. "Come on..." Dijon helped Crepe as they went up the stairs. Linda was alone at the desk as she did some paperwork. She didn't notice the arrival of anyone as Sven went over. He took a deep breath and gulped before speaking.

"Linda?" She paused at his voice. "I... uh..." He sighed. "I'm sorry for what happened..." She turned around and sighed.

"No... I should be sorry. I was the only that jumped on you and made it worse." He went over and knelt down to meet her eye.

"Don't take the blame. I was the one that caused you to jump. I should've confronted you about this as soon as I could." She looked away with a huff. He touched her shoulder and regained her attention. "How about we go to Pueltown and talk about it over some food?" She smiled softly as she grasped his hand.

"Alright..." He smiled as they went out.

Spenser paused as he and Scarlet entered Fall City. The town was quiet as they went to the base. Scarlet opened the door to an empty base. The dark base gave off an eerie feeling. Spenser sighed.

"They probably ran before they got hit again... darn it..." Scarlet placed a hand on his shoulder as a voice spoke.

"Or you got here before we could."

The duo turned to see the four Fall City rangers walking over. The operator and mechanic followed behind them. Joel smiled at them.

"Did you think we left?"

Tears escaped Spenser's eyes as he ran over and gave his fellow base leader a hug. Joel wrapped his arms around the green haired male as he rubbed his back. Scarlet gave the other two boys a quick hug before pulling the tearing up Aira into a hug. She calmed her down before the four of them turned to the two leaders. Joel had calmed Spenser down and they all quickly finished their exchanging of hugs. The sound of wings made them turn around.

"Look at who I found coming from Almia."

Lapis was landing with the Wintown and Summerland rangers. Smiles crossed their faces as they ran over to the group. Spenser seemed frozen as Joel pushed him forward into the arms of the Summerland base leader, Cameron. It was clear he wasn't done crying as the tears returned. The rangers all worked to calm him down as Scarlet quickly got her hugs from the others. The Wintown base leader, Elita, took Spenser from Cameron and gave him a hug so that Scarlet could get her hug from the Summerland ranger. The reunion was the best one yet for sure.

Rand shuddered as he paused by his house. Had his family heard of what happened? He gulped as he entered the house. His eyes met his wife's as a spark came. A smile crossed her face as she ran over and hugged him. He smiled as he returned it.

"DAD!" He turned to see his daughter running over. She had a big smile on her face as she jumped into his arms after he pulled away from his wife.

"Nema! How are you dear?" She giggled before booping his nose and sliding out of his grip. "Hey!"

"You're not getting me back!" She ran off with a giggle. He smiled at the energy before he ran after her. A yelp of surprise came as she yelled. "Help! Daddy shark is coming to get me!" He laughed as he glanced at his wife.

"Now I'm going to get her and bring her to the mother shark." She laughed as he went after the smaller girl.

~~~

Admiral gulped as she, Seafoam, Dijon and Crepe went into Vientown. She gulped as she looked at the base.

"They don't want to talk to me."

"Admiral, your only problem is Crawford. The other two understand what happened." She gulped as she went inside. Crawford had just pushed Luana into Barlow, causing a miniwar to break out. She smiled as she remembered the spark.

"Hey love birds, leave the comedian alone. He already has an explosion on his head." The duo's faces went red as Crawford busted out laughing.

"A-admiral!"

"What? Everything I said was correct." Crawford pulled himself together.

"You know, I was going to get mad after what happened... but that was the best entertainment I just witnessed." Admiral smiled as she ran over and the duo hugged each other. Luana hissed.

"Torture duo! If Admiral didn't have a girlfriend, you two would be perfect together." They laughed as they pulled away.

"In your dreams." They hissed in unison.

"Chill lovebirds. We don't need another explosion. Crawford has the biggest one right now." Crawford opened his mouth to ask when it hit him. He smiled softly at that.

"Yes I do. Y'all ain't beating it." Admiral laughed at that. Barlow scoffed as he smiled.

"Hey Crawford... have you asked Wendy out yet?" The tall male winced as they got into another argument. The girls giggled as they aided their respective sides.

~~~

A dark chuckle filled the air of a small cave as a crystal ball showed the groups separating.

"Another win for the true darkness. Might look like a loss, but I see pure victory. You VKs will perish! Because my next card will make you pray you have some LKs on your side. I will win again!"
