The Sequel for Epidemic!!! Sorry for the EXTREMLY long wait, but it's finally here!!

The Awakening

The Hyper Force all surrounded their leader in much worry. They were beyond baffled at the situation at hand and just couldn't except the fact the Power Primate was no longer within their leader.

Sprx turned to Antauri with a disbelieving expression. "The Power Primate HAS to still be within Chiro right?! I mean, he IS the chosen one!!" Antauri looked back at his trembling friend with his soft comforting eyes.

"I, I don't know Sprx…" But even as he delivered the horrible news, Sprx just couldn't freak out. That was something everyone loved about Antauri. No matter what the situation was, he stayed leveled and kept his head clear.

Nova tried her best to stay calm too and began to ruffle the teen's raven black hair. 'Please be okay Chiro…' She prayed before pulling her hand back; sighing in worry. Otto looked up at her as he knew how she felt.

Antauri looked at all his friends and knew that seeing Chiro's sleeping form would only make them worry and dwell more… "I think we should just let Chiro rest for the time being. This could be a minor set back since he used a large portion of the power primate, let us pray that it will slowly return to him in time…" Everyone looked up at Antauri before nodding. They all needed to get some fresh air and think about other things for a while. Stressing like this was going to make their health become poor.

"I'll stay here so that when Chiro wakes up, he'll know what's going on and doesn't start panicking."

Gibson nodded before grabbing the scanner off the table and holding it out to Antauri. "Make sure you scan him every ten minutes or so while we're gone. If there's any difference, contact me immediately." Antauri nodded and took the scanner as the team all left the room to travel to get some Hover Burgers.

When Antauri was sure they were gone, he floated on over to the sleeping child. He knew more then he let on, but didn't want to worry the rest of his team. The Power Primate was laying deep within Chiro to where he was not able to touch it for a while, which worried him especially if Valina and Mandarin attacked once more. But for right now, he just cared about his 'son' waking up pain-free laughing once more. The whole ordeal that occurred earlier had drained so much from the child that it nearly tore Antauri apart. 'But when one dark vial is lifted, another soon takes its place…'

The rest of the team soon made it to the Hover Burger place and ordered the usual. Mr. Gabslapper asked about Chiro, but they didn't reply. He took the hint and reframed from bringing it up again.

They all sat in silence as they let the past events to slowly sink in. There had been many tragedies lately that they weren't sure whether or not this was a good thing or a bad thing. With Chiro's power gone, the enemy wouldn't bother going after him; but without it, the enemy could easily over run the city.

So they all sat there in silence; hoping everything was going to turn out okay.

It had been at least two hours since the team went out to get fresh air and Antauri continued to meditate next to Chiro. He was trying to find a way he could make Chiro's power sprout again, but it seemed useless.

He couldn't get concentrate hard enough on Chiro's consciousness to even have an on-going conversation with him and decided it was best to leave everything how it was. He may not be happy with it, but fate seemed to be in control right now.

They wouldn't be making such a fuss about this if it wasn't for the fact that they could feel Valina and Mandarin close by. And with Chiro unable to defend himself, they would easily use him to some how resurrect the Skeleton King; that's what they always tried to use him for…

"An, Antauri….Ugh…" Antauri's eyes shot open in shock before looking down at the awakening child's face. He could tell Chiro felt how weak he had become and hoped he wouldn't find out the power primate was gone just yet…

Antauri smiled gratefully as pure crystal blue eyes stared into his metallic like eyes. "Hello Chiro, how you feeling?" Chiro tried to move around a bit but growled in pain. His entire body stung as he was sore from the power overwhelming him.

"Feels like I've been electrocuted over a few times, but I'll be fine." He turned and gazed around the room to try and see the others, but when they weren't in sight, he began to worry. "Where's the rest of the team; are they okay?!!"

Antauri nodded before caressing the teen's hair; calming him down. "Yes, they went out to get some fresh air. They were really worried about you Chiro, and so was I. I'm glad you're okay."

Chiro smiled weakly. "Thanks, I'm just relieved everyone's okay. But what about Valina and Mandarin? Did they get away too?" Antauri frowned, confirming the teen's suspicions. "Figures, they always do."

"But the time where they fall will come, and we'll be there watching the whole thing."

"Ya…" Chiro trailed off as he suddenly felt this emptiness in the pit of his stomach. He didn't understand what it was at first until he tried to summon the strength of the power primate to help him sit up… "Wa, what?!! I, I can't feel the Power Primate?!! Antauri, Antauri it's gone!!!"
