~~~Chapter Twenty-Four~~~

~~~Previous~~~

I take a deep breath and calm my raising heartbeat. "Can I ask you one thing?"

"What is it?" Kaoru replies.

"What did Louis say at the end?" I question softly.

"I don't know! Even though I've been thinking about it all this time." Kaoru answers.

"Maybe he said, 'Live!' My Mama, Papa, Pa, and Uncle Moony said the same to me. They died to save my life. So…" I trail off and watch as Kaoru's eyes widen.

The sun shines through the dark clouds and we stand in silence, well for a while. Kaoru breaks the silence. "Brienna, how old were you when you lost your family?"

"Hmm, I lost Mama and Papa when I was 15 months old and I lost Pa and Uncle Moony a few years later," I answer getting lost in my memories.

I am snapped out of my memories when Kaoru pulls me to his chest. I place my hands on his chest and gaze up at him. To my surprise, before my mind could catch up, Kaoru had leaned down and gently kisses my lips. When my brain finally catches up I kiss him back.

When he pulls away slightly we both are panting and have saliva connecting from our mouths. He leans down to peck me on the lips before pulling away. I stay in his arms as we look in front of us.

We hear our names being called. "Brienna! Kaoru!"

We look behind us to see everyone else running towards us. "Brienna!" Luna and Sharla shout. I turn to look at Kaoru. "Our friends are here. Let's go."

Kaoru smiles and nods his head. "Yeah."

We turn around and run towards the others.

~~~Present~~~

~~~Brienna's POV~~~

The weather outside is getting worse and colder as the blizzard continues. Kaoru has his arm wrapped around my waist as he looks out the small window. I look as well briefly to see that the blizzard is still showing no sign of stopping. I hear movement behind me, so I look to see Howard pacing back and forth behind Menori, sighing as he did so.

Luna, Bell and Sharla have their gazes rested on Chako, Adam, and Shingo who are still trying to get Adam's card from the ruins to work. But so far, no luck. As I watch, Adam closes his eyes as he hovers his hand over the card. As he does it lights up with the same green as it did before.

"Yeah, yeah. Lookin' good." Chako praises with a grin.

Howard paces past Menori once more and she opens one of her eyes. "Howard, can't you stand still for a moment? Just watching you makes me get irritated."

A scowl appears on Howard's face and he leans closer to Menori. "What's that? What about you? Scowling from morning 'till night. Just seeing your face gets me depressed!"

Menori stands up with a larger scowl on her face. "What?"

"Hey, stop that, both of you." Luna scolds getting both of their attention. "We realize that you're irritated...but fighting all the time isn't going to help it."

"They don't get tired of it," Kaoru states with a soft sigh. I nod my head in agreement. "True, but they are getting stressed. Along with the rest of us." I point out softly from his side.

Everyone is gazing at Menori and Howard who look at each other. Their eyes widen ever so slightly before they turn their backs to each other with a 'Hmph'. I let out a sigh and close my eyes as I lean against Kaoru.

It has been ten long days since the blizzard first started. Everyone is getting stressed and it is reaching its limit due to all of us being stuck in the cave all day. On top of that, our firewood supplies are dwindling and our food, though not as quick, is also slowly disappearing. We have plenty of fruit, but we have run out of meat.

I snap out of my thoughts as Adam wanders over to Luna. "Luna..."

"What is it, Adam?" Luna questions.

Adam bows his head slightly with his eyes closed. "I'm hungry."

Luna crouches down and places her hand gently on his arms. "Bear with it, Adam. We are running out of food. We have to be careful with how much we eat."

"Then let's burn some more wood." Adam states.

"Adam..." A small smile appears on Luna's face.

"Because it's cold," Adam says.

"Shut up!" Howard shouts as he appears behind Adam, scaring him and causing him to jump forward. "You're not the only one who's hungry and cold! Honestly! Whose fault do you think it is that we're in this situation?"

"Howard!" Both Luna and I scold at the same time.

Howard spreads his arms out wide, a scowl on his face. "But I'm right, aren't I? if we only hadn't brought this guy back with us, this wouldn't have happened! Talk about doing something uncalled for." Howard ends with his arms crossed over his chest.

Everyone is silent before Adam lets out a sad sigh and lowers his head. Luna moves her hands to his shoulders. "Don't pay it any mind. It's not your fault, Adam." Luna takes her gaze of Adam and looks over at Chako. "Chako, how do things look over there?"

Chako holds up her right paw, right eyes closed and a smile. "This time it looks like it'll work great!"

Luna stands up abruptly with the same smile appearing on her face. "Really?"

We all move from where we are sitting/standing and surround Chako and Shingo. Shingo holds up the card with a grin on his face. "It seems like this card has a biometric system incorporated into it."

"Bio...what was that?" Howard asks confused.

Chako places her paws on her hips. "Biometrics. It operates in response to Adam's body."

Shingo lowers his hand that is holding the card to rest on his knee. "Right now, we're putting that information in here. If we broadcast it, something might happen."

"Why are you doing such a tedious thing?" Howard question not understanding their effort. "Why don't we just take Adam to the ruins?"

Shingo looks at Adam briefly, who still has his head lowered, before looking back at Howard with a scowl on his face. "You're not suggesting we take Adam out into this blizzard, are you?"

Luna leans forward, her head bent slightly, looking at Chako easily gaining their attention. "When do you think it'll be done?"

"I think we can have it done by the end of the day," Chako admits over a couple of seconds of silence.

Luna stands up straight. "Then, I'll take it there and try it out."

Sharla is quick to move to Luna's side. "It's impossible in this blizzard! You'll die!"

"But at this rate, we don't know how long we'll have food for." Luna points out.

Menori places her fist near her chin. "That may be true...but how can we be sure you'll make it to the ruins safely?"

Chako and Shingo share a glance followed by a nod before Chako closes her eyes and Shingo looks at Luna. "We'll go with you."

"We can't let Luna go alone, can we?" Chako says with her paws on her hips.

"I'll go too," Bell speaks up for the first time that day.

Luna looks at Bell surprised as a smile appears on her face. "Everyone..."

"But..." Menori trails off getting Luna's attention once more.

"Menori..." Luna says hesitantly.

Menori opens her eyes and she lowers her fist. "Very well, but don't tempt fate. If anything happens, come back. Promise us that much."

"I promise," Luna promises with no hesitation.

"I'll go too," Adam states stubbornly.

Luna holds up both her hands, worry etched on her face. "No way, Adam. You stay here."

"But I want to go!" He bows his head sadly. "Because...I...promise not to be a burden!"

"Adam..." Luna trails off.

"Well, if we bring Adam with us, it might help out in case something happens." Chako points out.

"Okay. Let's go together." Luna agrees with a smile.

Adam nods his head happily with a smile on his face. No doubt happy that Luna agreed and quite possibly due to the fact Howard's words are affecting him, so he wants to do something when it's his card involved.

It isn't long before Luna, Adam, Chako, Shingo and Bell leaves the cave into the blizzard to head to the ruins. The rest of sit around the fire while Kaoru and I are still near the door (arms around my waist still) and wait for any news.

Of course, I was using my magic to keep an eye on them. Due to the cold weather, I sense Chako lose focus and she begins to slip but luckily Luna catches her before she fell too far, and they carry on walking. I sense them make it past the cliff to flat ground at the same time some of the large animals fall from the trees and falls to the snow-covered ground with a thud.

~~~Luna's POV~~~

We wrap ourselves in our cloak and leave the cave. We struggle to walk forward due to the strong wind and blizzard. Bell is standing in front of us while Adam and I are standing at the back. I look down at Adam who is by my side. "Adam, are you okay?" I question. He looks up and makes a sound of agreement.

We carry on walking and make it to the gap that goes down to the flat ground. We place our hands on the wall and slowly walk down the slope. "Everyone, mind your steps!" Bell warns.

Chako foot slips and she begins to slide past. I kneel quickly and move out my hand and catch Chako's paw as she goes past, luckily, stopping her from falling any further. "Chako, are you okay?"

"My bad. My feet slipped a bit." Chako apologizes sheepishly.

I help her back up and we continue walking down the slope. It doesn't take us long before we reach the bottom. "We're finally here," Shingo says with a sigh.

There is a thud and we all turn and let out a gasp. One of the large bugs had fallen to the ground. We look around to see that there is a lot of bugs in the same position.

"We'd better do somethin' soon," Chako says.

Adam turns to look up at me. "Will Pague be okay?"

"I'm sure he's fine," I reply softly.

Shingo looks up to the sky. "It's gotten pretty dark. At this rate, it'll be impossible to reach the ruins by the end of the day."

I turn to look at him. "Anyways, let's hurry. I think we'd best get as far as we can."

~~~Brienna's POV~~~

Sharla gets up from around the fire and looks outside for a few seconds before looking away. "I wonder if they're okay."

I hear snoring and look to see that Howard has fallen asleep, his elbow resting on his leg. Menori looks at him slightly annoyed. "Give me a break."

I let out a chuckle. "Maybe we should follow his example and get some sleep ourselves."

Menori nods her head in agreement as she shakes Howard awake. He wakes up slowly with a scowl on his face until he gets up and heads over to his bed. The others following and resting in their own beds.

Kaoru doesn't move far and just rests against the wall. I get out of his arms briefly to get a cover before sitting down right next to him. He once against wraps his arms around my waist as I rest my head against his neck. I listen as I breathing even, and he falls asleep.

I use my magic once more and I sense that Luna and the others have found shelter for the night in a hollow tree. Adam is resting his head on Luna's lap while Bell, Chako and Shingo are sitting the other side. It isn't long before they as well fall asleep. I let out a sigh before closing my eyes and letting myself fall asleep, Kaoru's warmth and the sound of his heartbeat being the last thing I heard before it goes dark.

~~~Luna's POV~~~

We find a hollow tree and we go inside. Bell sets up the fire in the middle and we sit around. Bell, Shingo and Chako one side while Adam and me on the other. I sit on the floor and Adam places his head on my legs and he is quick to fall asleep.

"How is he?" Bell asks quietly.

I look up. "He's asleep. He's tired, after all."

"We should be getting' to sleep too," Chako says as she holds her paws out in front of her.

Shingo lets out a yawn, placing his hand over his mouth. "You're right. There's still tomorrow."

I look back own at Adam. "Pushing yourself…"

~~~Brienna's POV~~~

~~~Next Morning~~~

I wake up suddenly the next morning when I sense that Chako's energy is going dangerously low to what it should have been. It isn't long before Luna and the other's panic but Chako gets up and they continue their journey to the ruins.

I look around to see that the others are still asleep, even Kaoru surprisingly. I rest my eyes once more, but I don't fully fall asleep and I keep an eye on Luna and the others.

~~~Luna's POV~~~

I wake up in the morning and I notice straight away that something is wrong with Chako. Adam is still asleep but the rest of us surround Chako. "Chako! Snap out of it! Chako" Chako…"

Chako opens her eyes but she is breathing heavily. "I'm fine…"

I hear footsteps just as Adam appears next to me. "What's wrong?"

"Her temperature dropped, and she can't make Hydrogen well. When they make Chako, they must not have figured she'd ever come somewhere so cold." Shingo states.

I look up worried. "let's get back to the cave for now."

Chako sits up. "What'cha sayin'? I'm fine." She gets up and walks forward. "Hurry up. We gotta get to the ruins."

"But…at this rate…" I trail off.

Chako comes to a stop and turns her head slightly to look at us. "I'm fine."

"What should we do, Luna?" Shingo asks.

I look down before turning to look at Bell. "Bell, how much longer do you think it'll take to get to the ruins?"

"I think we can get there in two hours," Bell admits.

"Two hours?" I repeat before looking at Chako. Chako closes her right eye and pumps her paw.

We put out the fire and we head back outside into the blizzard. Shingo takes hold of Adam's hand and holds it tightly. Bell places Chako on his back and I stand behind him keeping my gaze on her.

"Sorry, Bell." Chako apologizes.

"Don't worry about it," Bell replies.

I look in front of me and let out a small gasp. "We'll be at the ruins soon."

~~~Brienna's POV~~~

~~~Two Hours Later~~~

I sense that they finally get towards the ruins and they try to use the card after Adam tried and it failed. When Shingo tries it failed. Once again, Chako faints and they panic, Luna, being the worst.

Keeping my senses on Adam I see him back away before yelling Chako's name as he glows green with a large amount of energy. At the same time, the card glows green from Adam's outburst and it hovers in the air, disconnecting the cables. It shoots a green beam of light towards the door of the ruin before the ruins themselves light up green. The light disappears and the doors open, and the card stop glowing and falls to the floor.

I sense them all rush inside and Chako is placed inside the cold sleep chamber. It isn't long before Chako's levels go back to what they should be, and she wakes up fully.

I let out a sigh of relief before Kaoru and the other start to stir and they wake up. Menori makes breakfast for us and we eat in silence. Even Howard is completely silent as we wait.

~~~Luna's POV~~~

A while later we make it to the ruins, and we stand in front of the ruin's door. Shingo and Adam kneel on the floor as Shingo gets out the communication equipment and Adam holds the card. He closes his eyes and tries to concentrate but nothing happens.

Adam lets out a sigh and lowers the card. "No use. Pass me the card." Shingo says softly.

"Sorry." Adam apologizes as he hands over the card.

"Bell put me down," Chako speaks up.

"But…" Bell trails off.

"I'm fine now," Chako says as she climbs off.

I kneel next to Adam and Shingo and watch as he places cords on Adam's card. "I'll help out too."

Shingo looks up. "Then connect that cord to the hole on the bottom."

I follow his instructions when Chako paws take the other cord and place it on the other corner. We look at Chako surprised. "Chako!"

"We hafta do somethin' soon. Otherwise, we'll all die of freezing." Chako states causing us to nod our heads in agreement.

"Okay! Now if we broadcast Adam's information, it should open! Here we go!" Shingo says before pressing two buttons and turning a dial. The card glows green. "Okay, looks good, just like that…" Nothing happens before the light on the card goes out. "Damn, it didn't work!"

"Why not?" Chako question softly.

I walk closer to the ruins and look up. Why won't it open?

Shingo hits his fist on the top of the equipment. "What am I supposed to do?"

There is a small thud and I hear Adam let out a gasp. "Chako!"

"Chako!" Shingo yells.

I turn to look and see that Bell is holding Chako, Adam standing next to him and Shingo kneeling in front of him. All three of them are gazing worriedly down at Chako.

"Chako…Chako!" I yell before running over. I take Chako out of Bell's arms. "Chako!" I shake her softly. "Snap out of it, Chako! Chako…" I cry out and I hold her to my chest.

"It was pointless after all! If only we'd gone back to the cave then…" Shingo trails off upset.

"Chako!" I yell again.

"Chako…" I hear Adam mutter. "Chako!" Adam yells loudly.

I see movement and I look to see that Bell is looking behind me. Adam's card is hovering in the air and it is glowing green. The light gets brighter causing us to close our eyes. The light comes off the card and heads towards the ruins.

It hits the middle of the door before the whole ruins glow green. The light disappears and the doors slowly open. Shingo stands up surprised. "The door opened…" Adam's card drops to the floor. Shingo picks it up before putting away the communication equipment. "Let's hurry into the ruins!"

"Adam, hurry!" I call out. Adam is kneeling on the ground, head lowers and hands covering his eyes.

He lowers his hand and turns to look at me. "But…Chako…"

"That's right!" Shingo exclaims suddenly. "If we use the energy from the cold sleep chamber, we might be able to fix Chako."

"Really?" I question before turning to look at Adam. "Adam, let's go."

Adam makes a sound of agreement and he gets up. We run inside the ruins and head straight to the cold sleep chamber. "It's warm in here," I state surprised. I look at Shingo. "Does it look like we can use the coldsleep energy?"

"If I can get it working," Shingo admits. "I'll check it out." He runs over to the system.

Bell leans down and places his hand on Adam's right shoulder. "It's okay. Chako will get better."

Adam looks up at Bell with a smile on his face and makes a sound of agreement.

"Okay. It's working!" Shingo calls out.

I walk over to him with Chako still in my arms. "Shingo, how is it?"

Shingo looks up. "It's okay. Put Chako down there."

I place Chako inside and Shingo fiddles with two of the cord before placing them on Chako. Adam comes over to my side. I take a hold of his hand and looks down at him with a soft smile on my face. "She'll definitely be fine."

A shock comes from the cords as soon as they touch Chako and it turns the cold sleep chamber back on. "I wonder if it'll work." I query.

"Probably," Shingo admits.

"Come to think of it, why did the door open?" I question.

"I'm sure that card was a key to the ruins that only Adam could use," Shingo suggests.

"A key only I can use?" Adam questions.

"But…" Shingo trails off, crossing his arms over his chest. "…why didn't it react at first? That's what I don't understand."

I lean over to Adam with a smile on my face. "Maybe it understood Adam's feelings."

Adam lowers his head confused. "I just thought of Chako…"

The light on the cold sleep chamber goes out. Chako eyelids begin to flicker before she moves. "Chako! Are you okay?"

Chako lets out a sigh and slowly sits up. She opens her eyes and removes the cords. "Who're you?" Chako questions.

The four of us let out a gasp of surprise. "Her memory was reset?" Shingo questions.

Chako looks at us with blank eyes, not showing any signs of recognition. "Chako…"

Chako places her paw behind her head and a smile appears on her face. "As if! Just kiddin'!"

"Chako!" I cry out before lunging forward and hugging her.

"What's wrong?" Chako questions.

Shingo lets out a sigh and places his hands on his hips. "Don't startle me like that!"

I lift Chako from the cold sleep chamber and continue hugging her. She turns her head to look at Shingo. "Shingo, what happened to me?"

"Your temperature fell too far, and you stopped working." Shingo answers.

"Stopped working?" Chako repeats surprised. "I guess somethin' had to've happened for y'all to've been starin' like that." Chako looks up and lets out a surprised sound. "This is—We got inside?"

"Thanks to Adam." I praise.

"Adam?" Chako asks.

Adam lowers his head again. "I just…"

"Thanks a bunch," Chako says happily causing Adam to looks down shyly.

"All that's left is to stop the infrared inhibitor particles." I point out.

"Now that we're in the ruins, it's my turn!" Chako says seriously. "Shingo!"

Shingo nods his head in agreement, and they get to work. I look to see the same hologram that we saw before. "It's the thing we saw before."

"Chako!" Shingo says.

"Yep, just like I thought." Chako agrees.

"Did you figure something out?" I question.

"These ruins were a terraforming machine after all." Chako acknowledges. "These show the terraforming machines on this planet."

"These are all like this?" I ask surprised.

"No doubt," Chako replies. "That big one is the main computer. It controls all the terraforming machines."

"What about our island?" Bell asks.

"Right here," Shingo says before the island we are on grows bigger.

"It really is this island. Fairy Lake is there too." Bell observes.

"The main computer is pretty far away," I add. "Can we stop just this machine?"

Chako is fiddling with the controls. "I've been lookin' into that for a while…but I can't find the environment control program."

"There's probably a separate control room," Shingo suggests.

"There was nothing along the way." Bell points out.

"Nor in this room," I add. I hold out my hand before letting out a gasp and looking around. I see Adam the other side of the room looking at the wall. "What's wrong? Adam?"

I run over to him and just as I get to his side some door open showing a bright light. Adam begins to fall forward but I catch him before he does. "Adam!"

"I'm fine," Adam says as he stands up straight.

Bell, Shingo and Chako join us in front of the door. It shows a machine in the middle of the room with a red large button and holograms showing the weather on different parts of the island.

"This is the control room?" Shingo questions.

"Looks like it." Chako agrees.

"That machine…" Shingo trails off.

"I think that's the main switch." Chako states.

"If we push that, it'll stop?" Shingo questions.

"Sure will," Chako replies. "Let's go, Shingo!"

They both take a single step inside and a large shock runs through their bodies causing them both to scream. The shock lets up and both fall to the floor. "Chako! Shingo!" I call out.

"Alduram Gyet." A voice calls causing us to look up with a gasp of surprise. In the room, there is a male and female standing in front of the machine. The male is blue like Adam while the female is light pink. "Alduram Gyet." The female repeats.

".ni yats ot uoy rof reisae eb lliw ereh tnemnorivne eht ,nooS" The male says.

"What's that?" Bell questions. "Is this their doing?"

"Alduram Gyet." The male says once more. ".ni yats ot uoy rof reisae eb lliw ereh tnemnorivne eht ,nooS"

"Alduram Gyet…' Soon, the environment here will be easier for you to stay in'?" I repeat. The image of Adam and his parents appear in my mind causing me to let out a gasp. "That's…"

"Luna! Adam! Out of the way!" Bell shouts as he runs towards us with the top of the cold sleep chamber held in front of him. He places it in front of him as he goes inside the other room.

"Bell!" I call out.

Bell let out a loud shout as the wall next to the door explodes a little creating a small hole. The shock disappears and Bell falls to the floor landing on his bottom, the cold sleep chamber top at his side.

I run over to him and kneel next to him, arms on my shoulders. "Bell, are you okay?"

"Hurry…the switch…" Bell says slowly.

"I will." I agree. "Adam, it's dangerous, so you stay here. Okay?"

He agrees and I slowly walk into the room. I walk around the two parents while Adam hesitantly walks towards them. "Adam…"

"Who are you?" Adam questions.

I look in front of me to see the control machine. I run towards it and lifts my hand and starts bringing it down. Before I could hit the red button my wrist is grabbed causing me to let out a gasp. I look up to see the male next to me. His figure turns into a liquid that surrounds me causing me to let out a shout.

"Luna!" Adam calls out before the female grabs hold of his arm. Alduram Gyet. ni yats ot uoy rof reisae eb lliw ereh tnemnorivne eht ,nooS"

"What's an environment easier for him to stay in? Adam spends every day shivering!" I shout before the liquid covers my head.

"Luna!" Adam shouts. The female becomes liquid and surrounds Adam.

"Adam!" I shout. I cover my mouth and I find it harder to breathe. What are you doing? Adam's your child, isn't he? Adam covers his mouth before he stops and begins falling slowly to the ground.

"Adam!" I shout. I jump out of the liquid as it loosens and lunges towards the machine. I hit the red button and the holograms begin to disappear and the machine closes forming a blue ball.

The liquid around Adam disappears and he lands on the ground. He coughs as I rush over to his side. "Adam, are you okay?"

He makes a low sound of agreement and pushes his upper body up. "Alduram…Gyet." The voice says before going quiet. The room goes dark as the machinery inside completely turns off.

~~~Brienna's POV~~~

A while later the is another burst of energy coming from inside the ruins that have the same feel as Adam's. His parents...but...at the same time not. Fake copies that have been left behind to protect the ruins but have a love for Adam.

I sense Luna and Adam enter the same room where the energy is coming from and they are attacked by the fake copies. They are surrounded by liquid that makes it hard for them to breath. As Adam passes out Luna shouts his name which releases a large amount of energy from her body, but she escapes from the liquid and shuts off the machine.

Kaoru and I head outside with the others to see that the blizzard has finally stopped as the snow slowly falls from the trees to the ground.

Howard looks around and is the first to speak up. "It stopped."

"I guess it worked out," Menori states as she herself looks towards the trees.

"Hey!" Luna shouts from behind us. "Everyone! We're home!"

Sharla is the first to look when she hears Luna's voice. "Luna!" She runs towards her. "You were okay!"

"Yep, thanks to Adam." Luna praises.

Adam looks up surprised.

"Well done, Adam." Menori praises.

"You did well," I state softly as I pat his head.

Adam looks down bashfully as he has his hand resting on the side of his head. "I didn't..."

The clouds slowly disappear from the sky and the sun shines out from behind them. Howard is the first to turn to look. "It's the sun!" He cheers. He begins jumps from one leg to the other, hand in the air and continues to cheer. "Yes! The sun! The sun!"

"The sun...I guess the harsh winter is over." Luna admits from behind us.

Howard isn't listening as he continues to cheer happily. "I've waited for you, Mr Sun! It's warming up! It's warming up! It's warming up! The sun rules!"

I let out a soft chuckle and I snuggle close to Kaoru's side as we gaze up at the sun that we haven't seen in over ten days.
