For the record... Yes, I DID know that I was using a Bionicle sport. I mean, XT-421, (as I have created him) has the ability to travel in between dimensions and times, so, at one point in his life, he aparently went to the world of Bionicle (I do not know exactly what it is called...) And later, I do make more referrences to Bionicle, even though it shouldn't have anything to do with thhe story, I just find it fun putting things like that in my stories.

Well, next chapter, I hope you all enjoy...

As Daisy led Brunis out of the school, Tails was already waiting for them in his plane outside. As he opened the cockpit, he held true to his statement earlier by questioning Daisy about the torn up dress.

"So Daisy, how did you get your dress torn up so bad like that?"

"Well, I'll explain. You see, Brunis was all upset during lunch, I mean, he didn't eat for some reason, so I knew something must've been wrong with him. When he left the room, I waited for him to come back, and he didn't. As I left lunch, I heard him in the bathroom, and well, went in to help him."

"Daisy, that was not very smart. Do you know why the principal doesn't want you in the boy's bathroom?"

"Well, that's why I closed my eyes when I first came into the room." Tails raised a hand to his head in defeat.

"There are other reasons why they don't want you in the bathroom. Some older kids may have…wanted to…" Tails was struggling to make his statement kid appropriate. "There are kids out there that would have… shoot, how do I say this?"

"Let me guess, kids that wanted to touch me for some reason?" Daisy guessed.

"Daisy… is that what happened?" Although Tails couldn't see it, Daisy's eyes recalled with great detail the doglike figure ripping off her shirt, held herself, and shivered.

"Yeah. Three big fifth graders came into the bathroom, and ripped my shirt apart and tore off parts of my skirt. Then," Daisy's eye began to fill up with a few tears as she spoke, she didn't like talking about how she was almost violated. "Then those kids touched me all over and stuff. If it weren't for Brunis, I don't know how far they would've gotten."

"Brunis… Thank you. When you're older, you might be able to understand exactly how much this chivalrous act means to us. You not only saved Daisy physically, but saved her mentally. Anyone who experiences that kind of act so early in their life is viable to have problems later in life. Brunis, you're a real hero." Brunis, though intended to feel good about himself, only sunk himself lower into his chair. The misery inside that he felt was tremendous; he was about to betray this family's trust of him. Brunis sighed, and through smiling teeth, replied.

"Thank you Mr. Prower."

"No Brunis, thank you." Tails face was fearful for his daughter. How close that she'd come to something like that was almost too frightening to comprehend.

Tails statement only brought Brunis more grief.

As the plane landed at the Prower residence, Tails dropped Daisy and Brunis off to go back to work, and to later get Cosmo.

"Be nice, and be back by dinner Daisy! And Brunis, keep an eye out on her. You are the closest thing I know to her guardian angel. See you at dinner Daisy, and you too Brunis." Tails closed the cockpit and rocketed off. As the roar of the engines cleared his head, Brunis's mind let Tails' words echo inside.

"C'mon Brunis, let's go back to that place!" Daisy didn't wait for an answer as she grabbed her beloved's arm and took off at her quick speed.

Back at Brunis's old clan, the members were all spread out throughout the forest, with the side of the forest that Brunis and Wolfain talked, concentrated with people.

"Keep an eye out for them! They could come at any time, at any place, when they do, send a signal to me, and the rest of the clan will get ready." Wolfain ordered in whisper as the rest of the clan passed the message through the forest.

"Soon, Brunis, hurry, I can't contain myself much longer…" Wolfain snickered quietly to himself as he hid in the bushes, waiting for his prey to come near.

"You know what Brunis? I'm bored right now. School was action packed and whatnot, but now, I'm pretty bored. What do you want to do?" Daisy asked Brunis sweetly. Brunis looked down at Daisy, who was lying on the ground looking up at him, with dismay, though he did his best not to show it. Now's your chance… Invite her into the forest, and let Wolfain capture her. Remember, this is for her own good, she'll still live, even if it isn't as happy as it should be. Brunis gulped, and spoke a bit worriedly.

"Um, w-we could go exploring." Brunis managed to get out.

"Yeah! That is a great idea! Thanks Brunis, now where should we go?" As Daisy thought, Brunis gulped and spoke again.

"We could go into the forest." Brunis offered.

"As long as we get back in time, I'm fine with that. Can we?"

"Yeah, I mean, I grew up in a forest, I don't get lost easily."

"Ok then, let's go!" Daisy offered her arm for Brunis to escort her around the woods. But instead, Brunis grabbed her arm and spun her around, and kissed her on the lips. Daisy was shocked at first, but then, slowly held her arms around his head as the kissed under the tree in the spot that Daisy liked. After they broke it off, Daisy looked at him passionately.

"Brunis! What's with the sudden romance?" Daisy giggled, still in the moment. Brunis sighed.

"It's just, it might be a dangerous expedition, and I wanted to make sure that you still loved me…"

"I will always love you Brunis." Daisy smiled widely.

"After this… there is no way…" Brunis mumbled under his breath, so quiet that he himself barely heard it.

"C'mon Brunis, let's go!" Daisy this time took Brunis's arm and made him lead her into the same forest in which they had found each other a few days ago.

As they entered, Brunis could feel the ominous presence in the air; all of his clan was there, and he could swear that they were on the move; undoubtedly towards him and Daisy. Daisy of course, who had no idea what was about to happen to her, and was too busy thinking about Brunis, could not see some of the more obvious signs that they were being watched.

As Brunis came into view, Wolfain saw with his own two eyes his prize. A beautiful little girl, maybe eight or nine, who looked a bit like Thorn in some ways, but that never passed Wolfain's mind. He was focused on other things about her.

"Oh she is a jewel! I can't wait to make her my wife; in fact, I'm going to make sure that she is my bride tonight." Wolfain laughed under his breath, and followed the two through the forest silently, swiftly, and stealthily.

As Brunis led Daisy to a clearing, the same one that the two met, coincidentally, he couldn't help but notice the hundreds of eyes staring at him and Daisy through the brush. It was too late to turn back at this point.

"How sweet Brunis, you brought us to the point where we first met. Ah I barely remember it, it seems like it was ages ago…" While Daisy was lost in thought, Brunis held tightly to her hand, not wanting to ever let go of it.

Come on Brunis, this is it. The whole clan is watching you and Daisy. If you mess up now, you will be killed, and Daisy will likely get harmed. That can't happen. Just let her go, and run away, the clan will do the rest. Brunis started to get a few tears in his eye, Daisy didn't notice, but maybe a few of his clansmen did. Now! Go! Leave her behind, and never look back. There will be other people. At this, Brunis loosened his grasp on Daisy's hand, and took a few steps backward. Because of Brunis's skill in stealth, Daisy hadn't even noticed that Brunis had even moved his hand out of hers. Brunis jumped away into a nearby tree, leaving Daisy open for capture.

Brunis sat from his tree as Daisy finally noticed that Brunis had disappeared. She spun around a few times, a lost critter, unknowingly surrounded by ferocious predators. Then, they struck, and Brunis fled.

The clansmen watched as Brunis slowly exited the scene. Wolfain took this advantage, and waited for the girl to spin around a couple times before he lunged at her. As soon as she stopped, he jumped, and she looked at him from the ground, screaming. As he landed on her, and the others as well, her screams were muffled. The men got off of Brunis and formed a large circle around him and his catch. He got up, and pulled the little flower girl from the ground. She looked innocently into his eyes with fear; too scared to scream.

"And what is your name, pretty?" Wolfain asked her, his voice thick with lust. Daisy only replied with screaming in his face. "Shut up you whelp!" Wolfain, now holding her by her neck, slapped her in the face. And she quit screaming. "You are now my personal wife, we shall be married before this day is done, and you will not scream again. Am I understood?"

"Y-yes s-sir." Daisy trembled is his clutch. Wolfain laughed.

"Your trembling, don't worry, I'll hold you right." Wolfain said licking his lips. Daisy only cowered in fear. What happened to Brunis? She sadly thought, as she was manhandled away to some random location in the forest.

Tails and Cosmo were flying home in the plane, talking calmly on the day's events; particularly about Daisy's 'incident' at school.

"So wait. What?" Cosmo question loudly.

"You heard me Cosmo. Daisy was inappropriately touched in the boy's bathroom today."

"But how did she get there?"

"I don't know. She wanted to be with Brunis, I think, something about him crying in the bathroom."

"Aw, I wonder what is wrong with him. Daisy loves that little wolf so much. But still, who did it? It better not have been Brunis."

"It wasn't; in fact, Daisy claims that Brunis actually fought the fifth graders off of her when she started crying."

"How brave that boy is. He reminds me of you Tails." Cosmo said, resting her head on Tails shoulder, smiling at his determined face that softened into a smile as she spoke.

"How so?" Tails knew the answer, he'd thought of it himself, but he felt like he needed to be loved, and he knew that Cosmo would always love him.

"Of course you know! You're both brave when your friends, or lady plants," Cosmo giggled, "are in need. You both are clever at things, you are smart with machines, and Brunis is clever in his words, sometimes… And it seems so far, that both of you would give your lives up to save your wives, or in Brunis's case, girlfriends. And that is possibly one of the greatest qualities that people can possess."

"Aw, that's so sweet." Tails commented as he gave Cosmo a kiss on the cheek and resumed landing his plane.

When the two hopped out, they noticed that their house was cold, empty, like nothing had been in there for awhile.

"That's odd; Daisy ought to be home, waiting for dinner." Tails muttered. Cosmo heard his concerns and called for her.

"Daisy! Brunis! Time for dinner!" No response. No noise of Daisy rushing towards her parents like a lodestone.

The two walked inside, figuring that their daughter would come after her little 'game' got boring. Though, the air in the house chilled them, as if somebody was trying to tell them that something was wrong; in fact, somebody was.

XT-421 sat on their couch, staring blankly into the empty television screen.

"Is something wrong, XT?" Cosmo inquired. XT was silent, his metal green eyes deep in thought. Cosmo was about to ask again when XT finally responded.

"Well, it actually happened. I didn't think the child was foolish enough to make the mistake in the first place, but then to follow his plans… How foolish."

"Who?" Cosmo asked, Tails heard his wife sharpen her tone, as if she was worried, and scurried to the scene. Upon arrival, Tails only listened.

"Brunis…" XT mumbled, barely intelligible, in reply.

"What did Brunis do? Should we be concerned?" Cosmo asked, Tails sitting next to her for her comfort.

"No, he'll be fine. But…"

"But what?" The other two answered together.

"Go into the forest out behind your house. And be ready for anything, may it be savage wolves, or misleading eyes, or maybe even the death of your own daughter…" XT spoke coldly. Cosmo screamed.

"Where is my daughter you infernal machine?" Cosmo roared at him.

"I can't tell."

"B-but, don't you know everything?"

"Not exactly, I can predict everything though."

"Then predict the location of our daughter!"

"I can't."

"But you said you can!"

"But, that is not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"I meant that I'm not allowed. Protocol dictates that I've meddled around with this timeline already. And a few problems should be expected."

"And we're supposed to just let Daisy die?"

"I told you where to go to save her, didn't I?" XT stared blankly at Cosmo and Tails.

"You horrible monster…" Cosmo's anger boiled away into sadness and fear as she fell into Tails arms and began to cry.

"Just remember, Cosmo, that it was this metal monster that brought you back into this world. It was this metal monster that decided to reunite you with the man of your dreams. It was this metal monster that helped you marry your husband. It was this metal monster that gave your daughter her first crush. And it is this metal monster that is telling you where to go to save your daughter from permanent emotional trauma and or death. Now, I suggest that you and your husband go. You've wasted enough time as it is." XT glared bitterly at them, as if he was trying to find a person to blame, which he knew deep inside to be himself.

"Cosmo, let's go." Tails glared at XT as he helped his sobbing wife up and out of the house, and into the forest to find their daughter. XT sat there like a statue, unmoved from the spot he'd been in for most of the afternoon.

"What have I done?" He somberly asked himself.

This chapter, when I wrote it, oh... I hated writing it... I never wanted Brunis to do that... NEVER. It is just so... wrong.

More coming soon...
