Coincidence

Chapter 5 - Seeing through the confusion

By Tippy aka worlds craziest 22 yr old!

The group watched as the two Chiros circled each other, both with the same expressions of amazement. Other than a small difference in clothing, it would be impossible to tell one from the other.

"So this explains it then..." Naoki chimed in.

"Explains what?" Miharu glanced up at her brother before turning to the twins.

"Why he couldn't remember us or this place..."

"...because this isn't my Shugazoom..." Chiro spoke before Naoki could finish.

Rebel Chiro folded his arms across his chest, "If that's so, then how did you get here?"

The wounded boy thought for a moment, realizing how clearly he could think now that he was out of danger and not in as much pain. He could remember the asteroids and how his team had destroyed them to save the city. They'd done there job, but there was something else. He had found something.

The others watched him silently, blinking when they noticed Chiro's eyes widen in understanding. "An asteroid hit me..." Confused stares continued to watch him, "It hit me into something I saw, a void of some kind... like a black hole."

The conversation would have continued if not for Miharu noticing Chiro slowly losing his strength. "Hey, why don't we go get something to eat. We can talk at the tables." The group, minus Chiro, gave her a strange look, but agreed and began walking towards the food area.

Before Chiro was able to take a step, he found himself staring at Miharu's back. "Climb on." He hesitated, but was forced to comply as the girl gave him a halfhearted glare before smiling as he wrapped one arm over her shoulders and allowed her to support his legs.

A light laugh came from the right and Chiro looked down to see Rebel Chiro walking beside them, an amused grin on his face. "What's so funny?"

The boy waved a hand in defense, "Oh no, I'm laughing at Miharu. She always gets this way when someone's hurt." The girl playfully stuck her tongue out at the walking Chiro, who returned the gesture.

They made it to one of the tables that stood in the cafeteria-like area, the girl letting Chiro slide off her back and onto a seat. The others had already gone up to get their food. "What would you two like to eat? I know at least one of you is hungry." She eyed Chiro knowingly.

Rebel Chiro grin, "My usual, please."

"Asparagus and broccoli it is then!" Chiro had to laugh as his counterpart almost fell out of his chair. "I'm just teasin', cheese burger, just pickles and ketchup. And for you?"

"I'll have the same." She nodded before walking off to retrieve their orders.

Rebel Chiro crossed his arms on top of the table, letting his chin rest on his hands. "So what's your Shugazoom like?"

He took a moment to think over the question, "Its... a lot different..." The boy paused, "people don't live underground for one..."

"So there aren't any formless?" The surprised question made Chiro smile a little.

"There are plenty of formless, but they don't live in the city. Any that do enter the city are destroyed by my team and me."

"Your team?"

"Yeah, the mon-..." Chiro stopped, catching himself.

"What was that?" Rebel Chiro leaned in, trying to get his twin to continue.

Chiro sighed, "In my world, the monkey team isn't with Skeleton King... They're with me." His eyes watched the expressions that played out across his counterparts face.

There was a long silence between the two raven haired boys, broken by the arrival of Naoki and Miharu setting down two trays of food. By this point, Chiro had finally noticed the other two figures sitting with them. Two men, a couple years younger than Naoki. One of them wore glasses, tape holding one of the hinges together. The other was short, but looked as tough as Miharu's brother.

"So, the monkeys are heros?" All but Chiro almost dropped their food at Rebel Chiro's statement.

The boy nodded, taking a bite out of his burger. "Yeah, we protect the city from Skeleton King."

"I see, so that part is the same..." Rebel Chiro paused before a small smile played on his face, "I don't think I could see Skeleton King being a good guy."

Chiro laughed lightly at the mental image, "That would be a bit off for him. I think he'd be evil anywhere he went."

"Well, enough with old big and nasty," Miharu popped into the conversation, "Chiro hasn't met Musato and Taiki yet."

Naoki gave a nod and smiled before pointing to the man with the glasses, "That's Musato, he's a weapons engineer. And Taiki," he pointed to the shorter of the two, "He just likes to use the weapons." They laughed and continued to eat.

"Hey, Naoki, you said something about weapons?" Chiro questioned.

Musato answered, his voice full of knowledge, "Yes, we develop hand to hand weaponry that enables us to disrupt the elements in formless."

"Like this one!" Miharu jumped from her seat, giving herself enough room to pull out a long, sword-like stick.

The weapons expert continued, "That particular piece uses electric waves to destroy the formless. Unfortunately, we're unable to create long range devices."

Chiro nodded, as the girl took her seat again. Their attention turned to the large assembly area where a group had formed.

"Looks like another supply run." Rebel Chiro stated, "I thought they had just gone out yesterday?"

"They did," Taiki raised up in his seat a little, "The warehouse they hit wasn't as stocked as they had expected."

Chiro yawned, laying his aching head on the table. "Looks like some needs a nap." He stuck his tongue out at Miharu playfully. "Ha ha, now come on before the doctors have a fit. You're supposed to be resting."

Chiro huffed as the girl pulled him up on her back. "We'll see you boys later."

The four watched as Miharu and Chiro left towards the houses, "So, anyone up for a supply run?" Taiki grinned mischievously.

"Any reason to use the weapons, is that all you ever think about?" Naoki teased.

After a moment of talking, it was decided that all but Musato should go, seeing as how he was need for making the weapons, not using them. Chiro led the others to the large supply group who gladly welcomed them in. The plan was laid out and weapons distributed. It was a simple grab and go mission, one they'd all done many times before.

"Lets move..." The order came and the group moved out of the underground cave.

Tbc...
