Searching For My Way | Uchu Sentai Kyuranger x (Nonbinary) OC

Chapter 6: A Familiar Face (episode 3)

Surprisingly the next time that the kyurangers were spotted, Onyx wasn't told to go find them. They were asked to stay at the base and monitor things. Something about the database being updated and needing to make sure nothing went wrong. They didn't ask too many questions.

It was kind of boring to be here instead of out there. It would be nice to go see what all the kyurangers were up to now. Onyx recalled hearing something about them being on Planet Needle. That was in the Sasori System, was it not? Maybe they were searching for Stinger there? It was the most logical conclusion they had come up with.

"Akuma."

"Hmm? What brings you here, Scorpio?"

Onyx glanced over at where the man stood. He walked closer.

"Don Armage asked me to tell you something."

"And that is?"

"Eriedrone apparently recruited a kyuranger to work for him and Don Armage wants you to be there to monitor things. Make sure the kyuranger is on our side and not doing something else." Scorpio replied. "I asked if he would rather I do it but... he seemed very adamant I must not."

"I guess he just trusts me more at this type of stuff." Onyx shrugged. "So, does that mean I'm released from this stupid job?"

"I'm filling in for you."

"Ah. Best of luck. It is quite boring."

"I know."

"I'm sure you'll survive. I have many times."

Onyx left the room and began making their plans to go join Eriedrone on his ship again. They kept getting put together no matter what it seemed. Onyx could really care less about him. But he was the one currently the most active in persuing the kyurangers.

Within a few hours, Onyx landed. They were greeted by some of the crew and led to where Eriedrone was waiting. He nodded to Onyx. There was someone beside him. Someone very familiar... and should definitely not be here.

Why the hell did Stinger join Jark Matter? Onyx pretended to be none the wiser to who he was and prayed he would do the same.

"This is the kyuranger?" Onyx questioned, walking over and eyeing him up.

"Yes. This is Stinger. He'll be working under me from now on." Eriedrone replied.

"Good for you. Care if I steal him for a bit?"

"Not at all."

"Come with me." Onyx motioned for Stinger to walk beside them.

Stinger glanced back at Eriedrone before following them. Onyx led them down into the lower area of the ship. They had been so graciously given a room of their own for how often it seemed they ended up in this place. Onyx led Stinger to their room.

"So... the hell are you doing here, kid?" Onyx questioned the moment they were alone.

"I should be asking you that." Stinger replied.

Onyx sighed, "I asked first."

"For power."

"That's a lie."

Stinger was caught off guard. He stumbled for a response. Eventually it seemed as though he gave up trying to find another lie and admitted defeat.

"I... Do you know of a man named Scorpio?" He questioned.

They certainly did know of him.

"You joined to get intel on your brother?" Onyx let out another sigh. "For the love of god..."
