Space Ranger

Scars and knee problems

Steve had finally grown used to his new home. His color was changed from a green to the red color and he could even use his beanie now.

Him and DK were sent on a mission. It was fairly simple, no way it was gonna be failed

Until Sugar Pine showed up. In a fight for their lives, Steve and DK were caught and taken back to the ship Steve hated so much.

The boys were forcefully separated as well.

DK was tied to a chair and glared as James and Alfredo both came in. James smirked.

"Well, so good to see you again Dakotaz," James hissed. DK flinched back, having always hated SP7. Only reason he hung around was due to Steve. DK made a stupid decision and stuck out his tongue

"I should cut that out," Alfredo said and DKs eyes widened. He glared at them and remained silent. "What? No quip? No nothing? Silence?"

"Fuck off," DK said in a shockingly polite tone. He looked away only for his chin to be forcefully grabbed. He was now staring at them both

"The things I could do to teach you a lesson," Alfredo growled. DK flinched back and heard a knife being drawn.

"Nuh uh, Alfredo. I have a different way to teach Dakotaz some respect," James hissed and DK felt a sharp pain.

It went from his shoulder blade down his back. He held back a scream, pain coursing through him.

James moved in front of him and held up a bloody knife. DK felt like throwing up, knowing it was his blood.

Alfredo held DK still and another sharp pain ran from his waist down to his side. He cried out at that one, the cut being deep.

James laughed as he kept dragging the knife across DK, making the man cry out in pain.

Of course Steve wasn't that far away. He could hear his best friend screaming in pain. He didn't know what was happening to him. What were they doing to him?

But he was also blindfolded. He hated the fact he couldn't see, DK sounded so close. But a wall separated them

The door opened and Cib came in. He had zero clue who came in. He was standing up with his hands chained above him, but he was forced to stand.

"Steven Suptic. You left without so much a goodbye," Cib said in a teasing tone. Steve flinched back.

There was a sharp kick to the back of his knees and his legs buckled. He groaned pain and tried to figure out where Cib was. A hand grabbed his chin roughly.

"You think that was bad? Just wait until you see what else I've got planned for you. You won't be able to walk when I finish," Cib growled.

The beating started then. Steve tried to remain strong. He could never fully manage to stand up and his arms were hurting. His knees hurt to at Cibs beating.

The worst part was, Steve could still hear screaming from DK. He was in pain. Steve wanted to make sure his friend was ok.

Finally Cib stopped. Just like that. Steve had no clue why. The chains released him and he fell forward. Arms caught him but this time they seemed gentle, worried almost.

His blindfold was pulled off and he stared at three familiar faces. Koji, 5up, and Kimi.

"Easy bud. Let's get going," Koji said gently. Steve felt himself being hoisted up and he realized he was struggling to walk.

"DK," he managed to choke out. Kimi and Koji were supporting him so he saw 5up face become worried "Where's DK?" Steve asked weakly. He tried to move away to find his other half but almost fell over.

"Hafu, Janet, and Cop are looking for him. We haven't found him yet," 5up said. Steve released a cry and again tried to move away.

He couldn't though and was dragged to a dropship, being forced to sit down so Kimi could look him over

DK felt the knife stop. He had closed his eyes and he felt like he couldn't breath. A gentle hand on his shoulder caused him to whimper.

"Easy DK. It's just us," Hafu said. DK forced himself to open his eyes and saw his friends had found him.

Janet saw his condition and knew that she couldn't move him without hurting him more.

"Hafu, take off the top of his suit. I'm going to wrap it," she said. Hafu nodded and helped while David talked over the com.

After they wrapped his torso the girls put back on the top of his suit as David helped him up. DK leaned into him before speaking.

"Steve?" He asked, worried for the man. Hoping he didn't have it as bad.

"We've already found him. It's ok. He's fine," Cop said. DK nodded and they started to move slowly to the dropship.

Steve saw DK and immediately tried to get up. He was forced back down by Koji and DK sat down next to him.

He leaned into the taller mans side and closed his eyes. Both boys were exhausted and weak. The dropship took off and Janet glanced over at the two boys. A smile crossed her face

"Everyone look," she said and nodded over. They had both fallen asleep together and were happily leaning against each other.

"Awww," sounded out before everyone went quiet to let the boys sleep

"DK will most likely have scars. Steve looks as if he'll have knee problems for the rest of his life," Janet reported to Hafu. The leader nodded and glanced over to the sleeping boys

At least they were safe
