Annime: Hello!

Chiro: Shouldn't you be working on a different story?

Annime: Shh! They don't need to know!

Gibson: Annime doesn't own SRMTHFG or anything belonging to someone else.

Chapter 1

The team woke up to find themselves in their tubes/elevators. It was pitch dark in the room as everyone exited the tubes into the control room.

"Someone, turn on the lights," Antauri ordered. Metal footsteps were heard before the lights went on. Everyone turned to Antauri and gasped.

"Antauri," Nova spoke. "You're…you're black again!"

Antauri's eyes widened in shock as he looked down at his armor; he was indeed his old black self, and there was no doubt that he had his green eyes again.

"Where's Chiro?" Otto asked suddenly. He was standing by the light switch at the main computer and looking around the room

Everyone looked around the room as well to find no black haired 13 year-old with them.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Sprx murmured.

Gibson ran over to the main computer and tried to type in different commands, but it wasn't turning on.

"Umm, we may have a slight problem," Gibson told them. "It seems that the computer isn't active."

"Wait a second," Nova said. "The only time I've ever seen it like this was when Chiro woke us up."

The room fell silent for a few moments.

"Otto," Antauri said, being the first to speak. "Fix the main computer. Gibson, help him with that. Sprx, Nova, come with me. We are going to go find Chiro."

The two nodded while Gibson and Otto proceeded to fixing the messed up computer.

Chiro sat with Darien at a picnic table.

"When are they going to get here?" Darien complained.

Hunter, Annie, Vanessa, Bob, Clark, Carrie, Molly, Tina, Josh, Chris, Nate, and Carol were supposed to be there fifteen minutes ago.

"Calm down, Darien," Chiro said. "They will be here soon."

Darien snorted. "Yea, but if Hunter is the cause of their tardiness then I'm hitting him." Darien sighed. "Forget this I'm going to get something to eat!"

Chiro watched as the hazel eyed boy stood up and left the table.

"You have fun!" Chiro called out to Darien.

Darien waved his hand above his head in reply; still look straight at Mr. Jackslapper's restraint.

Chiro turned his head to the table and clutched his chest.

'What is this feeling?' Chiro asked himself in his head. 'Where is this coming from?'

Ever since the day he went to the outskirts with his friends Hunter and Annie when he was nine he had felt different. They didn't find anything very interesting besides some neat looking rocks and flowers. But, when Chiro had gotten home he finally realized that something was coursing through him. He knew he had felt it when he was on his way to meet up with the two as they waited outside his apartment building, but Chiro hadn't paid much attention to it then.

Darien was soon at the table again with only a drink in hand.

"I changed my mind," Darien told him, making Chiro snap out of his thoughts.

"Oh, did you, now?" Chiro teased.

Darien rolled his eyes and then looked at something that was behind Chiro.

"It's about time, guys!" Darien yelled as he stood up. Chiro turned around and saw he was yelling at the group of people they were missing just two seconds ago.

"Hey guys," Chiro said with a more welcoming voice.

They all smiled at the two while Vanessa also pointed to Hunter.

"This guy over here," Vanessa explained, "was taking FOREVER to get out of his apartment."

"Sorry," Hunter spoke. "I woke up late this morning."

Chiro tilted his head. "But I helped you set your clock last night. How did you over sleep?"

"My guess," Carrie said, "is that he pressed the snooze button in his sleep."

"Or," Annie added. "He just ignored it."

Hunter shrugged. "I don't remember what happened. All I remember is that I was woken up by my mother telling me that my friends were waiting for me."

Darien glared at Hunter. "You might wanna watch your back, because Chiro said he was going to hit you if it was your fault."

Chiro gaped. "No! I didn't say that! You did Darien!"

Hunter shook his head and sat next to Darien.

"How could you threaten me like that, Chiro?" Hunter asked.

Hunter was caught off guard when Darien hit him so hard in the shoulder he fell off of the stool and onto the ground.

"Hey," Hunter shouted at Darien. "What was that for?"

Darien shrugged. "You were the reason they were late."

Hunter gaped. "So it was YOU who threatened me!"

Chiro nodded.

"I tried to warn you," Chiro said. "Oh, and Darien, don't put words in my mouth again, is that clear?"

Darien put on a smug smirk.

"Crystal," Darien answered.

Chiro rolled his eyes.

"Come on," Carol's voice finally spoke. "I'm hungry."

They all made their way over to Mr. Jackslapper's while Hunter sat on the ground.

"Hey, guys!" Hunter yelled after them. "Can I have some help?"

Chiro turned around and shook his head as he saw Hunter siting on the pavement.

"You can get up yourself!" Chiro shouted back as a reply.

Hunter pouted. "Please?"

Chiro thought for a moment.

"Sure, I'll help." Chiro walked over to the table again while the others watched and waited. Mr. Jackslapper was now also paying close attention to Chiro.

Chiro stepped in front of Hunter, but instead of Chiro taking Hunter's out stretched hand he grabbed the lazy boy's ankle.

"Ahh," Hunter cried out as Chiro started to drag the red head towards the fast-food restraint.

The boys were laughing cracking up with laughter while the girls couldn't stop giggling. Mr. Jackslapper chuckled and rolled his eyes at the two boy's antics. Hunter wasn't laughing, though. He was yelling at Chiro to let him go and trying to shake his leg out of the raven haired boy's grasp.

Chiro stopped dragging him when he had finally reached their other friends. At this point Hunter was silent with crossed arms. He stared up at the sky and sighed as if to say "FINALLY" when Chiro dropped his leg onto the ground.

"Thank you, Chiro," Hunter said with sarcasm clearly reflecting in his voice.

"Welcome," Chiro replied with a bright smile.

Sprx, Antauri, and Nova were sneaking through the alley ways trying to find their raven haired leader.

"Don't worry, guys," Sprx tried to assure the two. "We'll find him."

Antauri and Nova could only hope Sprx was right.
