Chapter 15: Rebooting

Eva

"It's almost like the Great Race of Oban all over again." Eva thought to herself as she examined her broken leg. "I wish Aikka were here, he'd know what to do." Her eyes started to water as she remembered what Laos had told her. "I hope you're okay Aikka." She whispered.

"Hey princess!" Skun shouted at her. "Why are we doing this anyway?"

Eva sighed. "We can't just leave Ondai here Skun he's been here for over thirty years...he doesn't deserve it."

"If I remember correctly he tried to eliminate your little prince in the last race." Skun countered. This angered Eva. "Okay you know what Skun you may not have a heart but I do okay we can't leave Ondai here it's not fair...in the great race none of us could afford to be friends but that doesn't mean we can't get along now!" She shouted at the Inna who was taken aback by the sudden outbreak.

"Fine whatever I'll get your precious robot out." She mumbled as she grew her nails and ripped out a chunk of Ondai's ship and disappeared inside. As Eva laid back and closed her eyes she felt something cold touch her forehead.

"Are you alright?" Spirit's voice asked her as Eva reopened her eyes to see the Phils standing over her.

"I'm fine Spirit just...frustrated." Eva told him. "The Great race of Oban was so messed up...everyone was constantly at each others throats...I just wish that we could put that all behind us now..." She felt tears appearing at her eyes and she struggled to contain them.

"It's ok." Spirit comforted her.

"Anyway how's Dekka?" Eva asked trying to change the subject.

"He's getting worse I'm starting to fear he won't make it." Spirit told her.

"Does Lainga know?"

Spirit shook his head. "She never leaves his side, she's always talking to him like he's back to normal I don't think she realises what's happening this isn't something a child should have to go through."

"I know." Eva replied as she looked in the direction of the twins and surely enough there was Lainga holding Dekka's hand and talking to him like he was perfectly ok.

"I-I don't think I can do this Spirit...it's just too much...what if Aikka's being tortured or...he's d-"

"Don't think like that Eva." Spirit told her. "If you think like that its going to make it worse."

"I can't help it...Queen Nori told me he'd been captured and..." Eva buried her face in her hands as the tears came flooding out.

"Eva?" Ning asked as she jogged over and laid a hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"Everything." Eva told her as she looked up. Her face was covered in tears from her crying. "Why did this happen? Why couldn't everything just turn okay after the race? Why instead did I lose both my fathers and-and..." Eva buried her face in her hands as she started crying again.

"Hey princess!" Skun shouted as she stepped through the hole in Ondai's ship carrying the robot. "I got-" she paused when she saw Eva crying. "What's wrong?" She asked Ning as she walked over and watched Spirit try to calm her.

"She's just going through a hard time right now Skun..." Ning told her sister before noticing the robot in her arms. "Well this might cheer her up."

"Doubt it." Skun muttered before clearing her throat. "Um Eva I got Ondai but he seems to have shut down." She told the sobbing girl. Eva looked up and saw Ondai as Skun laid him on the ground.

"What should we do?" She asked Ning.

"I don't know...I think we could reactivate him if we had some sort of power source." She suggested.

"Do we have one?" Eva asked.

"Hold on I may have something." Skun told them as she turned and opened one of the rucksacks and started rummaging through its contents.

"Ah ha!" She yelled after a while as she pulled something out of her bag. "Got it!"

"What is it?" Eva asked as she looked at the small device in Skun's hand.

"Oh you know just a basic power booster." She told Eva as she opened a panel in Ondai's chest and began fiddling with the various devices inside. After a few minutes she inserted the power booster and pressed a button. Eva held her breath as nothing happened. She sighed. "Well at least we tried." She whispered.

"What should we do with his body?" Skun asked.

"Take it with us." Ning told them. "Maybe there's something we can do when we get off Oban." Eva took another look at Ondai. "Let me have a look at him." She tried to stand up but her broken leg screamed as she tried to put weight on it. She turned to Spirit.

"Could you give me a hand?" She asked him. Spirit reached out his hand and pulled Eva up making sure that she balanced on her right leg. She hopped over to Ondai and looked inside at all the wires inside his chest.

"Hmm." She wondered as she examined all the circuits. "I've got it!" She cried as she realised what was wrong. She pulled out a few plugs and inserted them in different places, then she turned the power generator back on and held her breath. The circuits glowed green as a humming noise came from inside the robot. Ondai's head looked up as the orange mouth appeared along with his three eyes as they blinked.

"Rebooting system please standby." He droned. "Retrieving memories before system failure."

After a while his eyes blinked and he looked around before his eyes settled on the group before him.

"What happened here?"
