"Everyone wake up!" Scourge's yell rang out through the temple. I jolted awake and opened my eyes. I quickly sat up and looked around. Finitevus sat up slowly and growled "What does he want know?" Beside us Lucy-Na let out a tiny yawn and then sat up on her knees. She looked down at her leg which was covered in a small cast. She stared at it for a moment, before her eyes began to close and she face planted into the bed, already back asleep. Arrow didn't even stir at all.
I was confused, not only do I not remember getting in bed with my family, but actually turning off to go asleep. Finitevus reached to the bedside table and picked up his glasses. He put them on, and fixed them to the right point. He then stretched slowly, careful not to hurt himself with his injuries, which has still gone untreated because he had said 'Not till my kids are treated first'
He did a side glance over to me and froze in place; he then turned fully and said "Celty…you're…" He suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around me in somewhat of a hug.. I was surprised at first till when I wrapped my arms around him, and saw them. They were shiny, bright light purple, with gold trim to them. They were cybernetics.
I drew back from Finitevus and looked down at my chest first. No metal plating, just my red t-shirt, and my golden locket hanging from my neck. I reached up and rubbed my hand through my hair and found it soft and nonmetallic.
"I'm, back to normal!" I said and smiled. Smiling alone made my happiness greater. But then a question came to mind, two actually. How was I mobian again and where are the Chaos Emeralds.
"Guys!" Scourge called again banging on our door. Finitevus gave an annoyed look and I called "What Scourge?"
"The temple! It's completely fixed! Almost looks new!" Scourge called and then I heard him racing up the stairs. I gasped in surprised and climbed out of bed. Finitevus started to as well but winced and placed his hand on his side. I quickly ran around to the other side of the bed and took one of his warp rings off his wrist; I then threw it open in front of us to make the walk shorter.
I sat down next to him and started to reach out to him but he gave me a glare that clearly says 'don't touch me! I can do it myself!' but, as usual I ignored his glare and placed his arm around my neck and the other I wrapped around him carefully.
Then without saying anything I started to stand up, making him stand up as well whether or not he was ready. He winced and bit back a sharp remark then stayed quiet as we moved together through the Warp ring. As we came out I gasped. The hallway I was working on yesterday was completely fixed. It looked like nothing had happened here other than the walls aging away.
"What do you think happened?" I asked and Finitevus looked the walls over and then pointed over to the opposite wall and said "Do you know what that says?" On it was hieroglyphics, I think. Lines were drawn in a pattern in only a small section. So, I shook my head no and he said "It's ancient echidna language. One lost many years ago. Back when this temple was built. Well, it says Everything and Nothing."
I smiled, and said "He, rebuilt the temple for us, our home…" And along with that, I now knew I was back to normal because of him. And like Finitevus read my mind he said "Yes well, seems like he has done a great deal for our home, and for the state of your well-being."
He then took his free hand and brushed some hair away from my face and said "So I am wrong. And you win the bet. I guess there really is such a thing as a god." I knew he didn't mean it, but he was thankful for Eclipse. I smiled and then leaned over and pressed my lips against his as we kissed.
When we pulled back I gently pat his side, which in turned made him wince but I ignored it and said "Come on, your turn to get fixed up…" Finitevus let out a sigh and said "Alright." I opened another Warp ring in front of us, and we walked through headed for the lab.
