note: okay. again, shootin for 15 kb so chapters may take much longer to come out now. @_@ they already take long enough. @_@ oh well. yeah.i think im gonna finish my skuld shrine, or make a leena one first. i dunno, i really wanna make a leena shrine because i find that she is one of the most underappreciated characters in chrono cross. "she's a witch since she and serge used to kinda like each other. bitch" no, i dont think so. shes a sweet innocent person and people are soo annoying. grr... and yes, i know that the end of part four sucked because i was working on it all day and kept on getting stuck so i kept on taking breaks and finally at the end of day, i just wanted to finish the friggin thing. *screams in frustration* yup. i should rewrite it but im reeeally lazy. _ okay. just read it now!
NEWnote: this is short. thats okay. i didnt have much planned for this chapter anyways.

-- Part Five ... Collapsing --

Leena woke up, yawning and smiling as she woke up, then she realized something. She didn't have any dreams whatsoever. She blinked, of course, could she really have dreams here? She sighed and jumped up with a fright as someone tapped her on the back.

Leena turned around and smiled when she saw who it was, "Oh good, it's just you."

Glenn arched an eyebrow, "Who else would it be?" he asked.

"Well... I don't know, Neya, Harle, Serge, Kid, there's many other people besides you, you know," Leena said in a matter-of-fact-ly way.

Glenn just smiled at her as she tried to keep a straight face, "Okay, whatever. I was worried you know, you're always sleeping."

"What's wrong with that? I mean, I have all the time to figure my way out of this hellhole," Leena looked at his expression. "No offense," she hastily added. "I'm just not used to this place and I miss Kid and my world."

"I understand," Glenn said thoughtfully, no trace of a smile was on his lips.

Leena shook her head, "I don't know what to do anymore."

She waited for a response but Glenn seemed to be in deep thought.

"Hey you, what's wrong?" Leena asked curiously as she saw Glenn not taking notice of her. She sighed and decided to get up to talk to the others when suddenly Glenn's head snapped up.

"Oh no," he started, his eyes a bit wide from shock.

"What's wrong?" Leena asked.

"Help me gather the others, we have to talk."

Leena nodded and got Harle while Glenn found Kid and Serge.

"Okay..." Glenn started.

"What?" Harle asked blandly, she gently moved a lock of black hair behind her ear.

"I think... that Leena is in a coma," Glenn said.

"What?" asked Leena.

"Yes, this is her mind, she's stuck in her mind. Which would leave her in a coma since obviously she's not exactly awake..."

Leena looked at him with a questioning glance.

"Which leaves me to the conclusion that she is in a way dying, and will die unless she wakes up."

Leena's eyes widened.

"How... how..."

Harle coughed to get some attention, all eyes turned towards her, "Perhaps we can get advice from someone else. Surely, there is some device we can use to get her out of here."

"We CAN go to Termina and check," suggested Serge.

"And Lisa is there!" Kid said as she remembered her dear old friend.

"But Korcha is there," Neya frowned at his name.

"Korcha?" Leena asked, she was confused. When she was on her adventure, she had no disputes with Korcha.

"He's this guy who's obsessed with Neya, Lisa is my close friend," Kid explained.

This was altogether too wierd. "Okay," said Leena unsurely. "Well, then, let's go," Leena felt awkward saying this. This was what Serge was supposed to say, not her.

Leena muttered a few words under her breath as the group started climbing up the mountain in the order of Glenn first, then her, Harle, Kid, and last was Serge. Glenn suggested that the guys should be in the front and in the back in case an attack was to happen.

Her legs were in pain and her feet hurt, she hated this whole place. If she was back at home, to get to Termina she'd have to climb a small mountain that paled to comparison in this steep, rocky edge.

As she walked, her foot got caught on a vine, Kid looked at her questioningly. "Go on, I'm just going to get my foot out, I'll catch up," Leena ushered, Glenn nodded his head at her before the group continued on.

Leena tried to remove the green vines around her foot before she realized that the more she tugged, the tighter the vines got. "What the hell...?"

Glenn stopped, it was taking Leena too long, Leena was still working on her foot. His eyes trailed to a small trail in the ground, his eyes widening in horror as he realized what it was. "LEENA! Get away from there now!" he yelled, he rushed to the spot where Leena was.

Leena looked up, a monster shooting out of the ground, the vines were part of the monster. She screamed, closing her eyes, expecting the final blow.

Except the final blow did not come.

She looked up, a tall man of stature was standing before her and shot the monster a few times. The gun making noises as each bullet shot through the crisp air.

Leena looked up at the man, his hair was a soft sandy blonde. "T-Thank you," Leena stuttered, still shooken up by the monster.

"No problem," the man said.

"Oh, thank you so much," Glenn sighed in a breath as he rushed there, helping Leena up before ripping the vines off with a small knife.

"How could I stand here, leaving a beautiful girl helpless?" the man said as he gave a tilted look at Leena, who smiled graciously.

"What is your name?" Leena asked, her curiousity getting the better of her.

"My name, is Norris. Commander Norris."
