The walls passed by with a blur. "Where is it!" shrieked Ailis, running for her life.
"It can't be that much farther," spoke Chiro calmly from his perch atop Chip's back.
"How can you be so calm?" Chip yelled, running on all fours, "And get off!" he shook Chiro off of him, still running, to find the exit.
"There it is!" yelled Chiro, pointing. The two glanced up at the gaping hole in the ceiling to which he had pointed.
"W-whaaat? How did that get there?" Chip stared at the hole and his gaze flicked to Ailis, startled to see she was blushing.
"Well...I had to get in here somehow." Chip stared at her awe in his eyes.
"Will you STOP?" Chiro jumped between them and they fell on the ground startled.
"Y-yeah." Chip stuttered, "So how are we gonna get up there?" he gestured upard. Chiro answered by simply grasping him under the arms, and flew him through the hole. "Heh, smart ass," Chip mumbled, making Chiro smile.
"I can just jump!" Ailis yelled from below, and jump she did. She landed with a ploof next to Chip. The two were to focused on eachother, that they didn't respond in time when a hand reached through the hole and grasped Chiro by the scruff of the neck. His yelp woke them up.
"Chiro!" was the last thing he heard before he was dragged back into hell.
CHIRO P.O.V.
I can't hear anything. I can tell I'm screaming due to the pain in my throat. Firm hands grasp my arms and pin me to the metal floor, as my head is slamed into the ground. I scream in fear when a needle is pulled out. My eyes widen as it hovers over my skin, and then...
Pain.
Just pure pain. My whole body feels like fire is coursing through me. I feel the weight on me is thrown off due to being slammed by Ailis and Chip's arrival. My vision blurrs due to my tears. In all the time I had been here, nothing had ever hurt so badly. I think Ailis picked me up, but I can't see. Then I'm swallowed by darkness.
NORMAL P.O.V.
Chip stared, heart broken at his unconcious on the damp forest floor. They had escaped, barely with their lives. After Chiro's attacker was defeated more guards had appeared. He still wasn't sure how they were still alive. Chiro moaned and Chip was at his side in an instant.
"Hey. You okay Chiro?" Chiro's eyes opened, to see Chip's tear streaked face. What he said next brought tears yo Chips eyes.
"Wheres Ailis?"
Chip swallowed and spoke quietly "Chiro, theres something I need you to do."
"Yeah?" still tired and hurting, Chiro sat up and stared at his friend.
"I need you to hide." Chiro was standing in an instant.
"What!"
"Just-just got pissed at the guards for hurting you and went back to get even, and I'm going to follow" Chiro frowned, even he knew that Ailis wasn't stupid enough to go BACK. "Then I'll-"
"NO!" Chip jumped up , "You will hide in Suggazume, and no matter what, you will NOT, follow me. Understood?"
Chiro scowled, but nodded with a heavy heart. He knew he would probably never see his friends again. "I'll have to hide my wings again." It wasn't a question.
Chip's expression softened, "Sorry buddy, I'll come for you, okay?" and with a sad smile, he left.
"No," Chiro stood and wiped the dirt from his face. "I'll never see you again." He turned toward the distant city. "Goodbye."
