Healing Wounds Using Random Things..

-----

The monkeys set Chiro in the back seat and safely got him in a comfortable position.

Gibson, Nova, and Otto all sat in the back to help nurse Chiro's wounds while on the drive as Sprx and Antauri sat in the front seat next to the mysterious Mr. Palmfree.

"You can use anything I have to try and stop the bleeding." Mr. Palmfree began as he opened up his compartment and pulled out some duck tap. "Here, use this to make sure whatever raps Chiro up stays."

Gibson immediately grabbed the tape and set it by his side as Otto was gently dapping Chiro's wound to soak up all the blood that came out so far. Nova was doing the same only to his stomach while Gibson searched for something to use to place pressure on his arm.

Antauri stared at the three working simians in the back; hoping that they could save the boy with such varied materials. 'What happened?' Was all he could ask himself. He couldn't figure out a way the poor boy could have ended up like this. A normal formless creature would have only been obliterated as they tampered with the teen's power; but no; the creature that had attacked him was far more powerful and knew what it was doing. But the only thing he could think of was the Skeleton King himself! 'Impossible!' Antauri told himself. He knew as well as the others that he couldn't leave his fortress. This just added on to his curiosity.

Sprx kept his gaze on the road in front of them. He couldn't bear to look back and see their new leader in such a state. 'It's….it's all my FAULT!!' Sprx cried to himself as sadness overwhelmed him even more. 'If only we didn't talk to that women, or, or even if I'd only been faster and more alert-'

"Sprx." He turned to his second in command in surprise. "Never question your actions. You did what you were supposed to do; it's just that you and Nova weren't meant to save him this time." Sprx looked at Antauri weirdly. Usually when Antauri said things like this, they made sense. But this time, it sounded like he himself didn't know what wisdom to give. Antauri turned and faced Sprx. "This could be a sign that Chiro isn't safe without us. – The dark one has awoken," Everyone including Mr. Palmfree looked at Antauri. "And he knows the chosen was had too..."

Jacky roamed the empty halls of the school looking sluggish, sick, and confused. If anyone saw him in this state, they would freeze in fright.

His used-to-be silk black hair was now wet and greasy. His shinning blue eyes were dully black with the look of despair as his skin was so white that one would think he was a dead man walking.

Jacky continued to walk through the halls before exiting the school building and heading towards 'home'; where he was being expected at…

Everyone sat in silence only to hear the rain bounding on the door and the water from the puddles being disturbed. Only a few cars jetted by, but Shugazoom was mostly quiet.

Gibson had just finished wrapping Chiro's arm up and began to do his stomach when the car came to a sudden halt.

A feeling of dread overcame everyone as they saw they had arrived back at the dreary Orphanage.

"You know, I can always drive you guys to the edge of the Savage lands…" The Hyper Force looked at the ground sadly as they all knew that that wasn't going to work. They still needed to make sure Chiro felt comfortable before they even told them that they wanted him to come live at the robot. Mr. Palmfree noticed this and sighed sadly. "Well, if you guys need anything, you know where to find me!" Antauri opened the door and jumped out with Sprx following.

Mr. Palmfree smiled before he too got out and helped get Chiro out and into the Orphanage.

It seemed more eerie than it ever had before. The lights were dimmer and the sound of the storm reverberated throughout the building.

Mr. Palmfree placed Chiro into his bed and helped the others search for things they could use to fix the wounds up with.

When he knew that his assistance was no longer needed, he began heading out; but he stopped at the door and looked back at the Hyper Force. "Please inform me somehow on the progress of Chiro. I know that he has been chosen by fate, and of you need anything at all, just ask away."

"But how do you know all this stuff? How can you understand us?" Sprx asked in a confusing yet surprising tone.

"When we meet again, I'll fill you all in. For now, let's make sure that Chiro is okay and in a safe comfortable room with his new friends at a real home."

The monkeys all nodded in agreement and watched as the man walked out before returning their attention to their future leader and began to work on him once more.

However, they were all oblivious to a pair of eyes that watched them; knowing for sure that what they theorized was true….

Author's Note:

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while and this chapter was EXTREMLY short compared to the others, but my computer is on the frits and I can hardly write a page without it shutting down. Also, sorry for the weird title, I was reading the lightning thief and they have some goofy chapter names that made me laugh. I'll hopefully be able to write more soon! XD
