Robby said, You also need to bring Jenna.
Why?
Because we are going to double our number searching; Dani will go with her and I will go with Carter. Mom, you need to go tell Mallory that Dani will be joining us.
Why me?
Because youre the only one that can convince her to allow Dani to come.
Scotty sighed and said, BC, are you listening in?
I am, Your Majesty.
Take Julie to New Hope and send Anglo to recall Carter and Jenna.
Robby looked at his parents, I expected more resistence from you.
Julie stood and hugged her baby, Weve known what youll become before you were born. Fighting it will only endanger the Empire. Were forced to let you find your destiny.
Scotty looked at Jingo, Well, my best friend, it looks like we are now rushing down a path we cannot escape.
Jingo lowered his head, Im going to see Tesa and Maddy before I go back. I need to remember what this is all about.
Scotty extended his hand and shook Jingos, Its always been about those we love.
Scotty looked at Robby, Do you really think theres an Algean in this universe.
Just like Jessica was left behind along with all the Stars Realms representatives on the Provincial Planets, one of them had to miss the bus.
Sixteen year old Dani Valrico sat in her room staring at Robbys picture and wondered what he looked like now. He had to be handsome with white hair like his father. Dani.
Her heart went into her throat, Yes, Robby!
Its time. Mom is coming to see if your mother will allow you to come.
Are you sure?
Look at your heart.
Dani felt it beating faster and tried to feel the familiar revulsion whenever she thought about Robby. It was gone. Youre right. Are you as excited as I am?
More, my Love. More.
Dani packed a bag and then saw that she could see the space around New Hope. I have some time, Julie hasnt arrived yet. She hugged the picture to her chest and felt alive. Thirty minutes later she saw BC in orbit. She picked up her bag and walked to her doorway, paused and looked back into the room that had been her prison for six years, then turned and left to go to the throne room.
Robby said, Kreej, are you ready?
I am.
Is Danis Zord ready?
Neelah is here with me.
Has Bleath approved your union?
It becomes official when we go with you and Dani.
Robby felt their love and knew they were as excited as he was. The two Zord had been kept apart until this time arrived. Call Jessica and have her take you to the Defense Facility. Dani and I will join you there later.
Dani entered the throne room as Mallory and Julie were embroiled in a heated exchange. Mallory saw Dani walk in from the door carrying a travel bag. She stopped yelling in midsentence and Julie turned to see what was going on. Mallory said, You can go put that bag back where you found it.
Dani shrugged, You can also start believing that your dream with Father in it was all false.
Mallory said, You disrespectful child.
Mother, did your dream come true exactly as you dreamed it?
Mallory leaned back, You know it did.
What do you think would have happened if you had not been kidnapped by Father?
Mallory thought about it. Dani saw her confusion, Ill tell you. Jilico would have invaded to force your father to get you off the planet and you would have ended up on Bristone anyway. There was nothing you could have done to prevent that dream from happening. If you try to stop me now, then something really dramatic will force you to get me off the planet. If that happens, where would you send me?
Mallory stared at Dani and then looked at Julie, I would send you to her if you were in danger here.
Which is exactly where Im going now. You dont want to get in the way of a psychic event, Mother. People get hurt when they try. You of all people should know that.
Mallory looked at Julie, Is this a psychic event?
Julie nodded.
How do you know?
Julie looked at Dani, Because my son and she know it is.
Mother, Robby and I will be married one day. He is the one Ive been waiting on my entire life. I felt him when I was still in your womb. Our time has come and we are now being pushed together. I dont want to see New Hope destroyed just to make you see the truth. Now, either order the guards to take me to my room or get out of the way.
Mallory stared at Dani and looked at Julie, I dont want to let her go.
We feel the same about Robby. Are you willing to have the invaders come here to force you to allow this? We are caught up in powers that were forced to follow. Shes right, Mallory. Would you have wanted someone to try and prevent you and Nathan from finding each other?
Danielle, are you sure about this?
Im as sure as I am about my love for you. You are my heart, Mother. It came from you.
Mallory went to Dani and hugged her tightly. Youre the future ruler of this Kingdom.
So is Jenna in hers but she fights for the Empire. Now its my turn.
Mallory looked at Julie, What does Robby say about them marrying?
He said its his destiny. Hes more excited about seeing her than Ive ever seen. Danis face lit up with a smile. Julie looked at her, Just like that, Mallory.
Mallory started crying and wished Nathan was there to help her. Dani said, Hell be here in an hour, Mom. Mallory looked at her and Dani said, He knows. Hes always known. About his love for you and that I was destined to make a difference in this fight.
Dani turned and said, BC, were ready.
Julie and Dani disappeared. An hour later Nathan arrived and Mallory asked how Dani knew he was coming.
I didnt know I was coming until ten minutes ago. Anglo dropped me off when he was told he had guard duty over Bristone for ten days.
Mallory looked Nathan in the eyes, Did you know Dani was leaving?
She was born to leave, my Love. She has a role to fulfill that began before she was born. Thats why you and I were meant for each other.
Mallory felt her fear but now knew that she had done the right thing. Her baby was no longer a baby. She decided to contact Ashley Talben and discuss what had just happened.
Robby waited in the clearing watching the fire. He thought about what was coming but couldnt see what the outcome would be. Suddenly, Julie and Dani appeared in the circle. Julie saw Robbys eyes soften as he smiled. Dani was not a skinny little kid anymore. She was beautiful.
Dani saw Robby and started shaking her head. What a beautiful man he had become. His hair was as white as his fathers, just like she thought. Robby stood and said, Come and sit with me.
Dani walked over and sat down next to him. She sat down three feet away from him. I see you know.
I do. We cant touch yet. But we can communicate.
Robby thought to her, Yes, we can. Do you know what were going to try to do?
Yes. I like my Zord. Shes nice.
Shes been waiting for you as well. Shes looking forward to meeting you.
And I, her.
They looked up at the sky full of stars and Robby said, You know I love you.
Yes.
Good.
How long until they arrive?
Im not sure. Are you in a hurry?
Not at all. Ive been waiting for this my entire life.
Robby looked at her, Me, too.
Well, it looks like they wont even jump in closer than a light year now.
Youre right, Timmy. It was fun while it lasted. That was a good idea, Carter.
Thanks, Virze.
It seems you have been having too much fun.
