Into The Woods
Prologue: Wait

Note: I do not own Power Rangers Wild Force, just the ideas. If the characters are out of character, I apologize. I prefer to give them more of a human appeal that goes deeper than the show. The song belongs to Earshot. This song is off their second album named Two.
Timeline: A couple years after Wild Force ended, just the beginning of the Dino Thunder season. That will come into play in later parts.
Rating: PG (Or higher)

Something's Wrong
Trying to conquer these fears I though were gone
And it's been so long
I'm dying to live in a world I don't belong

I enter the woods of Turtle Cove, for three thousand years I was entombed here. At my side, the dark half in which I survived stares down at our tomb. We are silent; there is nothing to say that needs to be said. He knows my thoughts as I know his. We stand together for another moment and then we walk on. Zen Aku no longer walks behind me, he walks at my side. My road to redemption has run short; this world is not as pure as it is made to be. Getting redemption is harder than it was before. Now I return to the only place that I could call home.

I can't wait for someone to hear me
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait forever to be told I'm forever alone
I can't wait for someone to feel me
And wait for someone to heal me
And wait forever to be told I'm forever alone

I had vowed to live alone, with the exception of Zen Aku for the time being but I can't. The path of the Lone Wolf has lead to a depression within me. I don't want to be alone; I want a family, a mate. I need someone to spend my mind with. The ones I call my friends would like to believe that I would settle down with the Princess, our Princess. That can never be. I made it clear to her and so has she. My love for her is like the sun it is powerful but I need someone that can love me despite my past and could forgive my sins.

On my own I've shown myself
What it means to be alone
And the tears I cried have washed away
All the scars of my disguise

As we journey deeper into the woods, Zen Aku stops at the cave that he had been using as his home and journeys in. I follow; we both remember this place and the pup that befriended us. It hurt when I had to scare it away but it was for the best. I was still Zen Aku and I could have cost it its life. The pup was still there for us, the first friend to me in three thousand years. I've known since my arrival that only one of my other friends remain here. All the others have moved on. She was once called the Nobel Tiger, now she is just a regular citizen as I am. I am not regular; my blood has fused with Zen Aku's making me have so called abnormal abilities. Though I seek redemption I know it is quickly escaping my grasp.

I can't wait for someone to hear me
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait forever to be told I'm forever alone
I can't wait for someone to feel me
And wait for someone to heal me
And wait forever to be told I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone
I, I'm not waiting here this time

As I leave Zen Aku's cave and side I wander the woods alone. The forest is growing strong in newly arrived spring. As I find the edge of the woods, I see a lone house. On the patio a woman sits reading the newspaper in the sunlight. She pauses for a moment and looks up, she can't see me, I know that for sure but she seems to sense I'm near. Soon enough I'll make myself known to her, and hopefully she'll accept my proposal on being my mate, if not there will be no others, I'll be forever alone.
