Sorry it took so long for this new chapter, lost my Internet access.

New Plots and Near Death

It was the middle of the night and Kris had to sleep in Antauri's room with him, not that either of them had a problem with it. They were both sleeping soundly when Kris started to toss and turn and started to moan in her sleep. Then she started to scream. This woke up Antauri and he rushed to her side.

Nightmare

Kris walked through the woods in the Zone of Wasted Years. The sky was blood red and the trees were dead and black. Dead leaves covered the ground and crunched with each step she took. The sudden shrill of a crow surprised and she started to run. She ran until she stopped at a cliff. She looked down and saw that it was so deep, that she couldn't even see the ground.

"What's going on? Where am I?" she asked. She heard someone behind her and saw Mandarin. She gasped.

"In a bad dream." He said with darkness in his voice. He jumped at her and attacked. He slapped her across the face and left a scratch and pushed her over the cliff. She screamed as she fell through the dark abyss.

End Nightmare

Kris sat up screaming, cold sweat dripped down her face and she was breathing hard. She found herself in med bay. She looked around and saw the Hyper Force standing next to her, looking worried. Antauri and Chiro were especially worried.

"Kris, what happened?" Chiro asked. She started to cry as she hugged Chiro, he comforted her, "It's okay Kris, it was just a nightmare." She then remembered the scratch Mandarin left on her cheek.

"No, it wasn't just a nightmare. H-he tried to kill me. He wants to kill me." She started to breathe harder.

"Who wants to kill you?" Nova asked. Kris gulped.

"Skeleton King." Everyone gasped. But something didn't make any sense.

"How do you know about the Skeleton King." Chiro asked.

"Because he was the one who wanted me in the first place. Those men were merely slaves to get his hands on me." That really got Chiro angry.

"But how do you know it's not just a nightmare from your past?" Gibson asked.

"Because Mandarin slapped me." She showed them the place where Mandarin hit her and saw a scratch mark.

DUH DUH DUUUUHHHHHH!!!
