Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 3 "LEAVING EARTH"

Terra stepped out of the cave and into the sunlight in the forest. She smelled the fresh air, drank water from the clean lake and enjoyed the warm sun. It felt like she was a statue forever and she's forgotten about life and her life story. Terra wondered the woods hoping she could remember something.

Meanwhile Red managed to locate Sapphire's destination on Earth, but he couldn't find her anywhere so he kept on searching for her. The forest did look similar from the Jungle Planet where Sapphire's former best friend lived, except for the same color of green leaves from bushes, trees and grass. And the animals too.

"Earth's nature is nice even though all the colors are the same, but at least this planet has good colors" said Red, while walking to find his sister, but no luck after hours of searching he didn't find Sapphire.

"Maybe Sapphire left the planet" thought Red. He was about to leave Earth when suddenly he heard something crash landed. It was Hex's hexbots they must have followed him. Red hid behind a tree, and quickly tried to open a portal with his necklace, but the necklace was overheated again.

"No! Not again! Come on!" cried Red, angrily.

The hexbots spotted him and prepared to attack. Red had no other choice but to run, so he ran and ran as fast as he can. The hexbots started blasting him, Red managed to dodged the blasters and he ran as fast as he could without looking back, but also without knowing where he's going. Red began to panic thinking the hexbots will catch him, suddenly he bumped into Terra. Terra looked at the strange red alien, he didn't look like he's from Earth.

"Hexbots! They're after me!" yelled Red.

"X what?" said Terra, confused.

Red didn't have time to explain to the human girl, so instead he grabbed her hand to get her away from being blasted, and they both ran away from the evil robots. Terra didn't know what was going on, what the red alien got her into but she didn't want to stick around to find out!

They ran together in fear, until they were in a dead end, the hexbots got them cornered. Red and Terra were trapped, they had nowhere to go. Red thought he was done for. Terra was so scared that she felt some kind of spark in her, something was about to happen, her eyes were glowing yellow and the ground was shaking, suddenly it cracked open right where the hexbots were standing and they fell. Red couldn't believe what happened, Terra couldn't believe what happened either, she doesn't remember doing anything like that.

"Did I do that?" Terra questioned herself while looking at her hands.

"What?" said Red, confused.

They stared at each other in silence. It seemed awkward to Red. Red looked at the human girl and said "let me guess you have questions, don't worry I'll explain everything but first lets talk somewhere private". Terra still didn't say a word, she just nodded her head staring at the red alien not knowing what's going on. Red grabbed her hand again and together they went someplace private. Terra wasn't sure if she could trust the red alien, actually she wasn't sure of anything since she has amnesia. "I guess I have no choice" she thought.

Red managed to find a cave, it was dark so he lid up some light with his necklace. Terra finally spoke " I don't know what's happening, who are you, what were those things and how on earth did I did that?" she said impatiently.

Red knew this was a serious situation, beings from outside his galaxy aren't supposed to know about the Hidden Galaxy, but one being wouldn't hurt to tell. They sat down on some rocks and started to chat.

"All right I'll talk if you promise not to tell your human friends or anybody else in your planet about what you saw"

"I don't even remember my human friends or anybody else" said Terra.

"What do you mean you don't remember?" Red asked curiously.

Terra tried to explain the best she can.

"Well it seems that I lost my memories about who I was or where I came from, all I remember is that I appeared from a cave, not knowing how I got there in the first place. I have amnesia".

"Do you at least remember your name?" asked Red.

"Um.. Terra" she answered. "And who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Red" he replied.

"Eh... yeah I can see your red" said Terra, thinking his making fun of her.

"No. I mean my name is Red" he explained clearly.

"Oh... sorry" Terra apologized.

Red didn't told her much, he only told her why he left his planet?

"I was following my elder sister to make sure she travels safe" he said.

"You have a sister?" Terra interrupted.

"Yes now don't interrupt the story"

"Sorry"

"Like I was saying I was following my sister to make sure she was safe, now I didn't want to but I had to. We are siblings after all. Where I come from we all work together even other neighboring planets, but my sister always works alone. But I still love her in an awkward sibling way".

Terra thought that was nice of him.

"But still can you imagine that your sibling is unaware that someone is trying to help, like helping them with their friendship problem. The problem is the person who might be able to help is gone, and... HE doesn't understand women" Red complained, sounding dramatic.

"So it's a girl friendship you were trying to help" Terra guessed.

"Yep"

"Why?"

Red took a short paused, and said "Let's just say my sister, her friend and I had a difficult past and a complicated history" he said looking gloomy. Terra felt sorry for him. "At least you remember your history, I wish I could remember mine" she said looking gloomy too.

"Well if that's all you want then just find a spyer and get rememoried, it's not that complicated" said Red, lighting up.

"Where you come from its not complicated" said Terra, looking at Red "and where would I find a spyer?"

"In the Rebellion World" replied Red, while he stood up.

Terra stood up and asked "Where is that?"

"In another planet duh"

"Another planet, but to get there I have to leave Earth" said Terra, feeling concerned.

"So, I'm about to leave Earth" said Red checking his necklace "spyers can be really hard to find, luckily I know one who happens to be my sister I told you about. Her names Sapphire by the way"

"Sapphire... that's it then, rememoried I just need to be rememoried and then I can finally remember who I was and control whatever power I have" Terra said sounding positive. "Help me find that spyer Red, will you? Please" Terra begged him. Red wasn't sure about this, he's not supposed to bring anyone to the Hidden Galaxy and he didn't want to comate treason. But Terra tried to convince him "Maybe I can help you in return like with your sister's friendship problem, I can give you some advice and after they work things out you'll be a free man. Just because I have amnesia doesn't mean my girly DNA is gone".

Red thought for a moment and he's not sure about this at all, but he was desperate so he offered her a deal. "I will help you with your memory trouble and you will help me with my sister and friend trouble, but once you get your memories back you have to promise not to tell anybody about what you will discover".

Terra promised, they shook hands on it.

"So how do we get there?" Terra asked " Do you have a spaceship?"

"Of course not, we'll use this" Red showed her his necklace "but we're gonna have to stop at my planet and we're gonna have to walk there too. My necklace is not cooled off enough to reach there" he explained. He opened a portal to his world and together they stepped to the other side.
