"I can't beleive you acually beleive all this. It's just a story."Kenji said. "They're real. The Trooper do exist"Katie defended herself. "Even if they did, they failed. You should not be wishing to be like them. I mean look at you. Dressed like some idiot" "Shutup Kenji!!" "Kenji, why do you always do this. It happens everyday. Why can't you let her beleive what she wants and leave her alone?" a voice came from behind Kenji. "Because I think it is stupid to beleive in something that doesn't exsist, Matt" "How do you know they don't exist?" "Because it's a myth. The story has been passed down for a hundred years. It's probably been exagerated a lot from the truth." "Matt, you beleive that they exsist don't you?" Katie asked her older brother. "I beleive there's a possiblity that they do." "Your both crazy!" Kenji said as he stormed home. "Don't worry sis, he's just been through a lot." Matt said looking down at Katie. Katie looked him right in his eyes. She blinked and when she opened her eyes again she was looking into the eyes of Odorokasu.

"NOOOOOO!!!!"

The screem echoed throughout the house waking everybody up. They all met outside of Ryo and Katie's door.  Shu opened the door while Kenji kept the children back. They thought Akutoo could be attacking or something. What they saw was Ryo sitting on Katie's bed with her crying into his shoulder."What happened?"Kenji asked sitting down next to Ryo." I don't know. I woke up when she screamed and sat down here to see what was the matter. She just started crying on my shoulder. She was mumbling something, but all I could get was the name Matt." Ryo explained. "Matt?! Are you sure?" Kenji asked "Yea, you know who she was talking about?" Ryo asked. Everybody looked at Kenji expecting an answer. Kenji started stroking Katie's hair. she was now quiet. "I think she's asleep." Kenji said as he gently laid her back down on the pillow and covered her up. Kenji looked up and everybody was looking at him still expecting an answer. "Meet me in the living room. I'll explain." Kenji said as he looked back down at Katie. Everybody left the two alone and headed for the living room. "Katie, if it was Matt you were dreaming about. I wish I knew what happened in your dream." Kenji then moved the hair from her face and left the room.

Everybody was now in the living room all settled down when Kenji appeared. "I'm taking it you've never heard the name from Katie before." Kenji asked. Everybody shook their heads. "Matt, is Katie's older brother." All Kenji got in responce was surprised looks from around the room."Why didn't Katie ever tell us she had a brother."Jun asked. "Acually, I'm not surprised that she didn't. She was very close to Matt. When we were eight, Matt disapeared. There was a huge search party looking for him. He was never found. They couldn't tell if it was a kidnapping or a runaway. There wasn't any kind of note." Kenji explained, "You see, at first me and Katie were not friends. In fact I hated her. I had lost my grandparents and an aunt and uncle in the City. She was always out playing like she was a Trooper and always swore she would be the one to waken you. I thought she was crazy. Seems I was wrong. I didn't beleive in the story. Matt always ended up stopping me from insulting her and always took her side. He always said that 'I beleive there is a posibility that the Trooper exist'. Day after day he said the same thing. Now I see that it made Katie feel better just to know that he didn't think she was stupid. After he dissapeared, Katie and I became friends. I realized then how much he ment to her, and how much she was hurting. I was able to get her mind off of him by convincing her to help me mess up our houses computers. Nothing serious. Just change all the dates and times, and make all the lights go on in the middle of the night. She was the only one that could crack the password. We did it every year from then on. Untill her parents dissapeared in the City. After that she was draged to an orphanage and well you know it from there. I'd tried to get her to come live with me and my family, but she wouldn't. She knew that the kids would have to go back to the orphanage, and she didn't want that to happen." "Man, now I see why she kept it a secret" Shu commented. "Yea, but what did she dream about that would make her scream. It would seem to have had something to do with Matt, but what?"Shin stated. "Come on it's late. We all need to go to bed."Ryo said as he stood up. "Ryo, Could you keep an ear out for her if she wakes up not screaming, I mean" Kenji asked. "Sure, no prob."Ryo replied.

The rest of the night Katie dremt the same dream over and over, but never waking up. The next morning Katie was the last to breakfest. "Morning, Katie. How did you sleep." Shin asked handing her a plate of waffles. They had all desided not to bring up last night unless Katie did. "Fine, I guess." Everybody had already finished their plates and were just talking. "So, Katie, how are you going to get to Touma?" Shu asked, but Katie wan't listening, "Katie? Katie!" "Hu? Oh, I'm sorry what were you saying?" "Katie is something bothering you?" Kenji asked. "Acually, Yea. Last night I had the worst dream, but I know it was true." "What do you mean?"Jun asked. "Well, It happened a long time ago before Kenji and I were acually friends." "I told them about it last night, Katie" Kenji spoke up. "What?! Kenji, you had no right." "I know, but you had woke up screaming and Ryo said that you were saying something and all he could understand was Matt. None of them understood." Shin intrupted"Katie, don't blame him. We all did a fair job of prasuading him to tell." "I'm sorry. It's just in this dream. The last thing was that I was looking into Matt's eyes. I blinked and the next thing I knew I was looking into Odorokasu's eyes. They were the same." " Katie you not serious. Are you?" Kenji asked. "I'm very serious. Odorokasu is my brother." Everybody remaind silent. "Hey, what's going on?" Seiji asked walking into the room his hair was all messed up and his eyes were still filled with sleep. "Whoa, I don't think I've ever seen you like this, Seiji. And there's even a girl in the room." Shu laughed. "Hey what about us?" Erika and Makoto asked with Ami pulling on Shu's shirt. "Ok, four girls in the room, one our age." Seiji suddenly perked up and looked right at Katie. He then bolted out of the room. "Did you hear that? I think it was a sonic boom." Shu joked. It was enough to make everyone laugh, even Katie.

About an hour later Seiji was back properly dressed and groomed. "So, where did a pretty girl like you come from" Seiji asked Katie. "I'm not falling for those tricks, Seiji. The guys warned me about you already." Katie told Seiji sternly. At first Seiji had a look of shock and then anger. "I'm going to get those guys."He swore to himself, "So, where's Nasuti?" Ryo and the other troopers heard the question and sat Seiji down and told him of what had happend and what was happening. "So, we need to find Touma."Seiji said to himself more then anyone else. "Acually no. We know where he is, we just don't know how to get to him." Katie corrected. "Well, our armors are somewhat connected. And with Katie wearing the Tenku yoroi, we might be able to pull our powers together and find him mentally. Then Katie can teleport there and bring him back to Earth." Seiji suggested. "That's sounds like an idea to try. Do you think your up to it?" Katie asked. "If he can bread the sound berriar running to the bathroom to fix his hair, I think he could do this." Shu joked. "Yea I agree." Shin said. "Very funny. Don't worry Katie I'll be fine." Seiji assured her.

Everybody went outside to try out Seiji's idea.

"Busoo Rekka!"

"Busoo Suiko!"

"Busoo Kongo!"

"Busoo Korin!"

"Busoo Tenku"

Everybody was wearing their armor and Katie was wearing the Tenku yoroi. They got into a circle with Katie in the middle. "Alright, everybody consentrate all your power to Katie, but don't give it to her like when we form the Kikkote." Seiji instructed. everybody did as they were told. Katie closed her eyes and could feel the power around her. One by one the virtues appeared on their foreheads.

"Benevolance"
"Trust"
"Justice"
"Courtesy"
"Honor"

They started to glow their respected colors. Katie had closed her eyes and saw before her the endless void of space. In the distance she thougt she saw something but wasn't sure what it was. The object came closer and closer. Finally she realized what it was. Touma. With out realizing it she had teleported to him. She looked at the Earth below her and couldn't beleive the view. She formed a dark blue bubble around them and placed the orb into the indentation.The kanji appeared on the orb and on his forehead as the others did,

"Wisdom"

In notime she was ready to teleport home. She appeared on the ground right where she had left, but this time she was holding Touma. "So, you've found the fith Trooper." A voice came out of the shadows. "Kenji, take him and get the kids into the house now." Katie yelled. Kenji did as he was told and was able to get everyone inside. "What do you want, Odorokasu?" Katie asked. Deep inside Katie was hurting. She didn't want to fight him, but she knew she had to if it came to that. Kenji watched from inside wondering if she would fight him or not knowing that he was her brother. "I came to get rid of you for once and for all." He laughed. Katie knew she had to get to him somehow. "You don't mean it!" Katie screamed, "You wouldn't kill me. I know your in there Matt. Look deep inside. You're good, I know it. Remember me, I'm your sister. Katie" Katie was now in full tears. Somehow deep inside Odorokasu knew she was right. Unfortunatly he was able to shake it off. "You will die first." He yelled at he attacked. Katie closed her eyes and held her arm up in the air. Out of nowhere Tenku's shouhyaku appeared in her hand. With only a slight movement of her wrist the bow was extended to it's full leangth. Katie jumped out of Odorokasu's way and shot arrows at him trying to berly miss him. "Ha, you can't even shoot strait." That made Katie mad. She knew that he would be able to stand up against the attack but had no other choice.

"Shinkuu Ha"

The blast hit him dead on and didn't phase him a bit. Katie looked into the eyes again and saw the same thing. For a second he was free. "Katie? Help M...." The sentence was cut short as he was teleported away. "Matt! Noooo!" Katie screamed as she ran to where he was standing. She fell to her knees and started crying. Kenji came up beside her and held her next to him. "Everything will be all right. You'll get him back." Katie looked up at Kenji and buried her face in his shirt crying every last tear she had.

Hi Everybody!

How about that for a twist. Odorokasu is acually Katie's brother. I would like to thank Kari-chan for her help. It was her who thought up how Katie was going to get to Touma. Thank-You very much.
