AN: Only 10 fics to go and I'm done with the fanfic100 challenge. \o/
The worst had finally happened. The Gaorangers were dead, save himself and Red and Shirogane knew that if he stopped to feel the grief he would succeed only in paralysing himself and it was a luxury he could not afford. Ura was still out there, stronger than ever before and no matter what it cost them he and Red still had to stop him, stop the Orgs from destroying the Earth.
But Red... he'd never seen Red like this before, never seen him so lost, so broken. It was as if the loss of his friends had completely broken his spirit and he no longer cared what happened, to himself or to others. This was a Red that Shirogane didn't know how to deal with. Red had always helped him before, no matter how low he felt, how determined to keep his distance from the rest, Red had the strange ability to turn it around and now that Red was the one in need, Red the one who needed him, Shirogane didn't know what to say.
They had to go out there, he knew that. He also knew that with the others gone and Red so broken, there would be little he could do. How had he grown so dependent on others? How so dependent on this person? He'd thought himself beyond this, that he'd kept his distance well enough that he could function without needing anyone, that he could find his redemption without bringing the darkness in his soul into the Gaorangers. He'd been wrong. He could fight without them but he couldn't live without them, couldn't be truly alive without them, Red most of all.
He wished he knew how to help, but there wasn't time. All he knew was that he couldn't fail. Not in stopping Ura and not in helping Red.
