Just Like Her

Sentai AU - The Bonds of Time

In the mothership, Jung Joonyoung and Jennie return.

"What brings you back so soon?" Seunghyun asks.

"Well..." Jennie says, eyes drifting.

"We found that the cadets survived," Joonyoung says.

"WHAT?! HOW ON EARTH COULD THEY HAVE SURVIVED?!"

"SILENCE!"

Everyone in the room stops. The don himself emerges from the shadows. "Well, we have a thorn on our sides. I should have known I couldn't trust anyone to do the dirty work."

"Spea-"

"SILENCE!" The don yells as he cuts off Joonyoung. He stares at him and Jennie. "Where is Jonghoon?"

"We don't know... he got tangled with the detective's fiancé."

"And you didn't stay to finish the job?!"

Just then, Jonghoon arrives. "Boss, it's... oh."

"Did you finish her off?"

"No. Someone came in and caught me off guard. The fiancé also got some good in there. I also sensed the other cadets coming so I had to escape for the time being."

The don stares at Joonyoung and Jennie intently. "You see what happens when you leave your allies?!" Jonghoon begins to snigger.

"You're not off the hook, you idiot!" Silence ades the room. "Where did you find them?"

"H-Haeundae..."

"Then that's where I'll send Roy and Eddy, then. And I'll give you, Jonghoon, another chance. You two stay here for your failure!"

-

Back at the beach, the four cadets sit on the sand, pondering what on earth just happened.

"I still can't believe it..." Namjoo sighs.

"Do you think... she can help us?" Hayoung asks.

"Honestly, it's worth a shot." Bomi says. "Still your call, though, unnie..."

The three stare at Chorong, whose head is slouched over, staring intently at her ring. A tear sheds from the corner of her eye.

"Unnie?" Bomi says, her hand reaching for Chorong's shoulder.

"Unnie... we're here for you," Namjoo says. "Take your time."

Chorong doesn't even know what to think. Memories of Hyerim have been playing in her head ever since the mysterious Eunji left. From their first meeting, their first kiss, their first assignment together, and Hyerim's proposal. Then, in an instant, she has the image of Hyerim falling before her before the image of Eunji cuts in. You look like you've just seen a ghost! That quote just sticks with her.

"Hey, unnie? Didn't she give us a card?" Hayoung asks.

"Maybe we can use it to find her! She did say that, didn't she?" Namjoo says.

"Well, let's see what it says," Bomi says. "It's on unnie to say if we go, but we can still look." Bomi takes out the card as Namjoo and Hayoung clamor over. "Shinsegae Centum City... I wonder where that is."

"Shinsegae Centum City?!" a passerby exclaims. "Y'all lookin' to get there?"

"Err... yea!" Bomi exclaims.

"Why don't I show you!"

"Bomi... I'll go. Why don't you and the others go and find a place for us to rest?"

"Uhhhh... are you sure, unnie?"

"Yea. I'll be fine. Plus, I think it will help me."

Bomi stares into Chorong's eyes. There's fire in them. "Alright. I trust you." Bomi then hands Chorong Eunji's card.

"By the way, what's your name, miss?"

"I'm Park Sooah. Oh, and I work at Shinsegae. I was going to head back there!"

"Well thank you, Miss Park."

"Please, just call me Sooah."

"Good luck, unnie!" Namjoo and Hayoung shout from a distance.

-

"Whoa... this is Shisegae Centum City?"

"Yup. Biggest department store in the world. You're lucky you found me. You might have gotten lost!"

"Well, could you take me to this person?" Chorong asks as she hands Sooah the card.

"Wow, you're really in luck! Eunji is my colleague! Come on, I'll show you!"

Chorong feels herself stiffen as her heart starts beating fast. "Oh, well th-thank you very much!"

As the two make their way through the store, Chorong can't help but notice how different the world looks in the past.

"So... you new to these parts?" Sooah asks.

"Umm... yea."

"Where from?"

"I was originally from Cheongju."

"Choengju, eh? I've never been. Heard it's kind of small, though..."

Chorong then remembers she can't exactly say she's from their future. "Umm I guess you could put it that way. Busan seems so big..."

"Oh, we're here, by the way. Hey, Eunji! Someone wants to see you!"

"Who is it?" Eunji says as she lifts her head. "Oh, it's you!"

Chorong freezes. It still shocks her that she's staring at a carbon copy of her, aside from the red polo and khakis.

"Err... Sooah, mind looking after the register for me?"

"Oh, no problem! By the way, I didn't get your name."

"Me neither," Eunji says.

"You can call me Chorong. I'm 26, if you're wondering."

"It was nice meeting you, Chorong-unnie," Sooah says.

"Here, let's take a walk," Eunji says.

-

"So... you came back for me."

"Yea, well... I need your help with something. And... I have to say... it's going to sound crazy."

"Really. Well most people come to me for advice, so throw it at me."

"So... I'm from the future. Very far into the future."

"How far we talkin'?"

"I'm from the year 3000. And I'm a cadet for the World Police with my three friends. We're here to catch these genetically superhuman gang members who escaped here called Khan. I don't know the full reason why they chose to came here, but we suspect it's to destroy my world by conquering the past. Why I came to find you is because I think that you can help me and my friends unlock these morphers. Now, I don't exactly expect you to believe all this, but I do want you to consider."

Eunji stands there shaking her head. "That is crazy. I'm not saying you are, but what you're saying is... it just sounds so out of there... but from what I saw earlier, it almost seems plausible... I need some time to think about it."

"I see... well, I'll give you this anyway." Chorong reaches for her pocket and takes out Hyerim's morpher, handing it to Eunji. "For what it's worth, remember how my friend said you looked just like her?"

"Yea... what did she mean by that?"

"Well, this morpher belonged to her. Why don't you put it on?"

"Whoa... this is fancy..." Eunji mutters as she wraps the strap around her wrist.

"DNA confirmed," a robotic voice announces softly. It's coming from Hyerim's morpher. "Huh?" Eunji says. Then, there's a faint flash of red. Suddenly, there's a flash of pink coming from Chorong's.

"I think that did the trick!" Chorong exclaims. "You've unlocked them!"

"What do you mean?" Eunji asks, but she notices Chorong tapping frantically on her morpher.

"Guys! Bomi! Namjoo! Hayoung! Did your morphers flash?!"

"Mine did! It flashed green!" Hayoung says.

"As did mine! It flashed blue!" Namjoo says.

"Mine flashed yellow!" Bomi says.

"Wait!" Namjoo exclaims. "I-is that Eddy and Roy Kim? Oh no! They see us! RUN!"

"Namjoo! Namjoo! Where are you?"

"We're by some weirdly shaped building! Like a slab floating in the air!"

"That's the cinema center," Eunji says. "I know how to get there."

"You do?! Great!" Chorong exclaims. Eunji then begins to run, but Chorong grabs her.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"You're deciding to help us?"

"After hearing all of that, what choice do I have?"

"Even if these are extremely dangerous superhumans that we'll be dealing with?"

"Well someone needs help. I have to be there."

Chorong nods her head. "Let's go."

As they run off, they stop by Eunji's store. "Hey Sooah, I have to help Chorong-unnie out with something. I'll pay you back, alright?"

"Yea, no problem! Bye, Chorong-unnie!"

Chorong runs behind Eunji as she lets her lead the way. She really is just like her.

-

Will Eunji and Chorong make it in time? How will they use the suits now that they're unlocked? What are Khan's true intentions now that they're in the past? Find out next chapter!

A/N: Hey guys! The opening arc is about to wrap up, and afterwards things will slow down for a bit. I wonder how you'll think I'm going to introduce Naeun, and when... ohohoho!
