"Jesus fucking Christ! What is taking those stupid doctors so long to wake him up?! It's been like.. an hour!" I exclaimed.
Geez! I can't imagine how long we've been waiting outside of this stupid hospital!
Man, this has been one hell of a night; First, we spend the entire fucking day fighting off some formless that were still crawling around the city for weeks!
Next, the kid goes off and gets injured while we were fighting and now he won't be able to fight alongside us in case another horde of those bone bags show up!
To make matters even better, Gibson's in a coma that even Antauri can't get him out of!
Ugh! This is just not a good day..
"Chill out Sprx, you getting all fired up isn't going to make matters better; It's just going to annoy everyone else. You aren't the only one worried about Gibson, you know!" Nova scoffed.
I turned to Nova to retort; However, Antauri's piercing glare somehow told me I should keep my mouth shut.
I bit my lip and turned away from all of them, my fists clenched; Alright hotshot.. calm your ass down. Blondie's right, me getting angry isn't going to help-
...
Oh what does she know!? All she does is shoot off her mouth when it's unneeded, why can't I shoot mine off!?
I need to get away from this place; I swear, clearing my head is just what I fucking need.
I stormed off into the sky, not even giving any of my allies a chance to stop me.
Once I figured I was far enough from the hospital; I landed on the cold streets below.
It was quiet around here; I like that.. maybe this is just what I need.
Silence..
Nothing but silence..
...
Ugh, this silence isn't helping as much as I had expected it to; I still can't help but fucking worry about Brainstrain back there..
..Fuck.. I need to stop will all this useless worrying; All it does is rile me up! It completely defeats my purpose of leaving the hospital and coming all the way out here!
I can't help but worry though; It's like my thing, nowadays!
All this shit that's been happening in Shuggazoom, so many people have died in these past few weeks.
It's all so messed up; Never in my life would I have wished to see something so horrible.
Yeah, I wish for things to be exciting every now and then; However, that's only for really.. REALLY boring days! Nothing more, I swear!
I don't even know how all this started either, but I have noticed a few weird things happening every now and then.
Like, for example, patrols have been so fucking tiresome these days; I can't sit still for five seconds without some dumbass stealing an old woman's purse and thinking that he can get away with it.
Another thing, Shuggazoom usually has decent weather nowadays; Lately though, it's either been storming or we have terrible wind storms. I only guess that we got lucky tonight, because we only got wind.
I look up at the sky; Freaky looking clouds are beginning to form in the sky.
I guess that's a sign saying I should hurry my ass up and head back.
A cold wind passes me by as I turn to head back to the hospital; I'm not ready to go back yet, but something about those louds in the sky.. gives me a really uneasy feeling in my stomach.
A feeling that makes me want to puke up my lunch, or something like that.
Ugh, is it just me..? Or did it get colder out here all of a sudden-
Agh!
There I go worrying again!
Damnit! What the fuck is wrong with me!?
Ugh! I have to head back, stop worrying Sprx!
I take off into the sky, trying to ignore the sudden spike or cold air in the area; That feeling still remains in the pit of my stomach.
Oof, what an awful feeling..
...
"..Sprx.."
"Hey!" I cry, turning around to face the guy who called my name.
...
No one.
...
Fuck, now I am hearing things; What else can happen tonight?
Geez, I shouldn't be saying things like that; Now something bad is bound to happen.
I should hurry up and get back to the hospital; This is just way too fucking freaky.
I head back towards the hospital, trying my best once again to ignore the horrible feeling in my stomach.
...
Soon, the hospital comes into my view.
I let out a sigh of relief; Finally, now maybe this freaky shit will stop.
I land near the hospital, and search for the others..
None of them are in sight, maybe they went inside?
I head into the hospital, just like outside, no one else other than myself in sight.
This is really starting to irritate me, where is everyone? Did they all leave to go catch a bite to eat or something? They could have at least told me if they were going to do that, i'm starving over here.
..Why in the hell is it so dark in here? Is the power out or something?
Oh! Maybe they're all in brainstrain's room?
I guess I should go check and see; I'll never know unless I go check it out for myself.
I head towards the nearest elevator and press the 'UP' button.
..The button doesn't even light up; Great, just what I needed, the power in the building going out.
There's something weird about that though; Hospital's usually generate a lot of electricity don't they..?
How on earth could all that power go out in a hospital as big as this one?
There must be at least one room with power in it.
I flip on my night vision goggles; This whole situation reeks of something fishy..
Now, what room was Gibs in again..?
Oh yeah! Room 68!
I travel down the long hallway, my weapons drawn.. just in case.
...
Hey, what's that..? It's big, that's for sure. I can't make out what it is, not even my night vision goggles can..
I lean in closer to get a better look at what i'm seeing right now; It looks like a big, black shadowy figure but I can't really tell.
!?
Hey! It's gone!
I run over to the area where I had seen the shadowy figure, looking every where I possibly could for at least some sign of that thing being here..
"Antauri, Sprx hasn't moved in a while. Do you think he's found the viral point in Gibson's nightmare?" Nova asked, her voice laced with concern.
"It would seem so" Antauri responded, not even removing his eyes from the monitor screen to even glance at Nova.
Nova stared at her feet "Is there...anything we can do?"
Antauri shook his head "It would be best if we let Sprx handle this; We have done all we can, Nova."
Nova opened her mouth to protest; However, nothing came out.
Antauri glanced at Otto, whom nodded and took over watching the monitor of Sprx's behavior.
Antauri grasped Nova's hand in his, and clasped it tightly "You must have faith in Sprx, Nova. He is strong, and he will be able to surpass this challenge and bring Gibson back."
Nova bit her lip "You sound so sure, Antauri. What if something happens..?"
"Ah c'mon Nova! What could happen? As long as we're watching the monitors, we'll know if Sprx is in trouble!" Otto chimed in.
Suddenly, the monitor went out; Along with the power in the Super Robot.
A loud creak filled the area; Followed by a nerve wracking silence.
"...That's what could happen, Otto.."
