Daigo/Amy (Kyoryuger) AU: To Reach This Point

 

We've come a long way for us to reach this point, so giving it all up like that isn't supposed to be an option... ~ Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

Not one of them could blame anyone for this matter.

Not the world, and not even each other.

The only thing they could say was... fate was never on their side at all. What they had at the moment was doomed to disappear from the start.

And yet they chose to ignore that, just because they felt that it wasn't right at all. That it wasn't fair, wherever they looked at it.

Ren/Saki (Go-Onger): Someone Like You

 

"On a world that's far too vast, it's nearly too exhausting to bear. But I was able to meet someone like you..." ~ One Hundred Billion Minutes, Bell Supool

xxxxxx

If one would ask Saki, she probably lost count of the number of times she sighed that day. Not to mention, her wound from that battle was still hurting and it hadn't healed yet.

But she chose this. She chose to fight. That means she had to bear certain consequences for that choice.

One of them was getting hurt like that.

Hikari/Kagura (ToQger): Sometimes I Wonder

 

"Sometimes I wonder if it's better if instead I protect you. I kept hearing it but I keep ignoring it because I was scared that I might lose you..." ~A Friend's Confession, 2AM

xxxxxx

The only thing Hikari could do at the moment was to bury his face on his hands as he continued berating himself. How could he have failed at such an important mission?

"Hikari-kun."

That call from Mio did indeed snap him out of his musings, but not enough to dispel his worries.

Satoru/Sakura (Boukenger): This One Chance For Us

 

We only have this one chance for us to make things right for you and me... ~ Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

Only a painful groan escaped Satoru's lips as he was trying to tie the last part of the bandage on his right arm which was injured and terribly bleeding at the moment. After that, he sighed and faced the unconscious Sakura currently lying beside him, also injured.

It was one terrible mistake that led the two of them to this.

"Satoru-san..."

That hoarse voice snapped him out of his reverie and immediately turned to the source of the sound. "Sakura! You're awake?"

Takeru/Mako (Shinkenger) AU: One Thing After Another

 

Forgetting you will never be an option for me. There's always one thing after another that will make me think of you... ~ Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

Though most of us knew that losing someone important was both a sad thing to experience, many of us realized the possible pain that it could bring. And for a long time since it happened, Mako was sure of one thing.

Losing Takeru was definitely not the kind of pain she wanted to feel again.

As one among the Power Casters with the ability to live longer than normal humans, Mako could only think that such ability had always been a curse for her. And that curse led her to hate every faction of Power Casters.

What Sakuma Kotaro---a talented White Ice Caster she met the other week---had said to her was true. She had already abandoned the worth of everything in her life. The Red Fire Casters' faction where she came from, the humans, the other Power Casters, and even the world itself.

Naga/Hammie (Kyuranger): What I Believed That Day

 

"I will never regret what I believed that day. The day of the parting is just another promise of the destiny..." ~From the song "It's Too Late" from Weiss Kreuz

xxxxxx

Naga tried his best not to show any of his worries to his friends and Kyuranger comrades as his welcome back party was going on. Of course, as expected, Spada went all out with his preparations for the food just for that.

But no matter how hard he tried, his focus would always shift right back to a certain someone that he knew he truly owe a great deal of apology. Even though Hammie said that it was okay and that she still welcomed him despite what he did, his mind couldn't really stay still.

At one point, he excused himself for a while from the others, using the excuse that he had to go to the restroom. The others didn't mind. But one person noticed something weird about it.

Yamato/Sela (Zyuohger): If It's A Sad Destiny

 

"Even if it's a sad destiny, I can't let you go..." ~From the Korean song "Because It's You" by SNSD's Tiffany

xxxxxx

Looking back, Sela couldn't seem to think of a reason why she was still doing a lot of reminiscing even though those events were already over. A lot of things had changed for all of them.

But most especially, the way she felt towards a certain someone had slowly changed. And now that change had fully occupied her heart long before she could even realize it.

She had to admit, she was surprised with that realization. And yet even though it gave her such a surprise, she didn't seem to mind that it was indeed changing her, as well.

Hikari/Kagura (ToQger): What We've Been Through

 

"I don't care what we've both been through. Till the end, my heart belongs to you..." ~From the English song "My Heart Belongs To You" by Peabo Bryson and Jim Brickman

XXXXXX

Though rarely as he could, Hikari soon found himself smiling as he watched Kagura enjoy the food in front of her that day. Well, he just wanted the company of someone that day and for some reason, he chose to be with Kagura.

Wait a minute... Who was he kidding? Of course, he would choose her. He would always do.

Well, there was nothing wrong with that, right?

Ian/Yayoi (Kyoryuger): Remain By Your Side

 

I never ask for anything from you since then. But please do this one request from me. Do what you can to live and return here, just as how I want your memories to remain in my heart... ~ Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

For once, Yayoi had truly wanted to stop worrying over everything. Well, not exactly everything about her job in the lab and her duty as a Kyoryuger or even the world. The "everything" she was referring to pertained to a certain person.

But then, she couldn't help it, right?

The one she was constantly thinking about these days was a dinosaur warriorーa fellow Kyoryuger. And just recently, he nearly died because of their battle with Devius. Things couldn't get worse for the team. But it was a good thing they still got through it in the end.

For one thing, it was something she was truly grateful about... at least for now.

Sousuke/Miu (Go-Onger) AU: Unable To Do Anything

 

Fate has always been heartless to us. So now we just stand here and watch, unable to do anything to even defy it... ~ Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

I never thought I would come to this point in my life.

The point where I had to choose between him and the path I chose to take when I was a teenager.

But I guess it was something expected, right?

Life would always lay out several paths for us to choose.

At the end of that path, we were forced to make several more choices with regards to our lives.

Stinger/Hammie (Kyuranger) AU: The Past We've Lost

 

I want to settle my mind to the past that we lost, and I want to take it back no matter the cost... ~ Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

"You're here at the planetarium again, Hammie? This is the fourth time for this week. Aren't you even bored at all?"

But the girl named Hammie just smiled cheekily and even showed a peace sign to the one who said it, which was her friend Lucky. And just as her friend had stated, it was indeed the fourth time for that week that she decided to head to the planetarium in town.

For some reason, there was something in that place that was urging her to go back. And for the fourth time that week, she was trying her best to figure out what was it. Sadly, she was yet to discover the answer to that.
