Chapter 6: New breath

Author's note: I thank to 4Evermonkeyfan and to Monkeymaniac! I do not own SRMTHFG characters. And one more thing…Read the latest chapter ;)

In this chapter: Gibson, Chiro, Nova and Antauri are in med. bay, Otto is fixing the robot, Sprx went for a walk.
''Poor her…'' said Nova and look to barely alive girl. Her heartbeats were slowly falling on life monitor.
''Why doesn't she awake?''
''You see…Chiro that's a good question, on which I don't have answer. Her ribs are all broken- that must be because Worm grabbed her…it's a wonder she doesn't have inner bleeding.''
''Perhaps…'' thought Antauri out laud.
''Perhaps what?'' asked Gibson.
''Maybe it's not physical reason why she doesn't open her eyes.''
''What do you mean?'' asked Nova.
'' It's not uncommon that beginners can't control perfectly their powers. Some cannot release it; others can't control it after they use it. I think that she released not only her power, but she used her own energy.''
''And she used too much of it…Possibility of that is 1473:1227…''
'' It's the most possible variation.''
''So, what does that mean for her?''
''If we don't find a way for replacing at least of half of her used energy…she can die.''
They looked to girl. Chiro was sitting next to her, looking to her.
''If we could know what's in her mind…'' said Chiro. Silence feel on team in med. bay.
''Her mind…Hmm…there is a chance….'' Antauri mumbled to herself.
''Shuggazoom calling Antauri, Antauri is needed back on ground!'' Nova tried to make a joke.
''Huh? Sorry Nova, but I have an idea.''
''I'm all ear.'' Said Chiro.
'' I could go to her mind, to find out how to get energy…but it's risky. If I go, then there will be no on to pull me out…''
''I could.'' Protested Chiro.
''You couldn't. You are above the level for which I accepted from you'' Chiro interrupted him.
''Still you treat me like I have no idea. Like I'm a baby…it's like this since Savage lands! I need to do something and not to sit around, while you're saving the day! I could go to her mind and you could be there to pull me out!''
''Chiro, calm dawn! If you would see how you react, you would do the same thing! We're joust trying to protect you''
''Still Nova, he's right. You'll go to her mind and I'll be ready for anything…''
''Antauri, are you shore? If anything goes wrong, his consciousness will be stuck in her mind. And in worst case scenario you too.''
''I trust Chiro.''
''And I trust you, Antauri.''
''So, what do we two do?'' asked Nova.
''Nothing. You can't do anything about this. Distract yourself for this time.''
''Sigh''by Nova and Gibson.
''I'll rather go and check Otto and Sprx. You never know what are these two up to.''
''I'll be in my lab.''
They both went out so Antauri and Chiro were alone (if you don't count her).
''Are you ready?''
'' Born ready.''
'' Put one hand on her head and other on the chest-where the heart is.'' For Chiro this wasn't a problem, it was joust…
''If you want to help, stop blushing.'' Antauri said when Chiro put his hand on her chest.
''If she was awake, I would be beaten up.''
''But she's not. And you're doing this to wake her up.'' Antauri put his hand on Chiro's.
'' Close your eyes. Concentrate on her breathing, on her heartbeat. Then follow it to mind.''
''What then?''
'' You will know. Concentrate!'' Chiro closed his eyes. He barely heard her breathing. Her heart was beating slowly. So much sorrow, grieve, pain, guilt and anger it carried. He followed these feelings to her mind…and then…he wasn't in his body, he couldn't feel that. He was in her mind. Around him was nothing except blackness, color of night. He was lost there. He could hear her breathing a bit louder.

'' I could follow it.'' He thought. He did not know where he turned, where was left or right. But he heard her breathing louder and louder. He knew he was on right way. Suddenly there she was. Her consciousness big as him and that mean nothing good. If she would be…healthy her consciousness would be like person behind mask. Only that mask would be her body and person her consciousness. Even here her eyes were closed. One hand was by her body (I mean in ''body''. Consciousness is a reflection of body. The only difference is that consciousness tells you what is good and what is bad), the other one away from it. Her legs were reduced (I really don't know how to say this.) and her breathing was here the loudest. But he wasn't alone. Three shapes were there.
'' What for Shuggazoom''
'' Is this he?'' asked one of shapes
' Who are you?''
''I was most important person of her life. I was her mom.''
'' I amthe one which is responsible for her fate. I was Denise- her sister. Now I'm the reaper''
'' I'm the one which will be one of most persons of her life. Lady Azami''
'' Why…how did you get here?'' asked Chiro. Denise giggled but he shook her head and said.
''There is no place safe from reaper…or the memories. We're joust an…illusion in her mind.'' She looked to her.
''But now…you're the one which must get her in life and kept her there…for now.''
''How?''
''What is definition of transmitting energy?'' asked LA (Lady Azami) Denise.
'' When one breath is send to another body to join the other's breathing. They're going to kiss! Kissy, kissy, kissy.''
''Denise you're reaper!''
''Yo mam. Let me be a child. At least in her memory. Her world is collapsed and new one opened to her! But she wasn't ready. She wanted to fly like a butterfly, but she forgot she's only a caterpillar.''
''I need to kiss her?''
''Only to give your breath to her. With it you'll send a bit of your energy. Not too little, not too much. Only that she can…live. Then run like hell is following you. If you don't…you really don't want to be stuck in a girl's mind. I never thought I'll say that'' LA and Denise's mom were already gone.
''What are you waiting for? Kiss the girl!'' Said Denise before she disappeared as well.
Chiro looked to girl. Here, in her mind he could see her real her. No masks, no lays only her true essence. He sat on his knees and look at her. He…he fell in love in her. For a moment she looked at him, but she was too weak to do anything. But even that moment was enough that Chiro kissed her. He felt that some of his energy passed to her

(read: There are three energies in story, so don't mistook them! One is Dawn's power; other is true essence of everything- living and not living and third is life energy. Chiro gave her a part of his LIFE energy)

Without a warning, he was feeling sick.
''Antauri!'' He tried to contact him…too late Chiro. You're stuck in her…
Antauri squint to girl's life monitor. Her heartbeats were lower and lower. He collected his power and pulled Chiro back to his body. Moment before monitor showed that there are no life signs. Gibson was quickly there, trying to find anything what could bring her back to life. Chiro was on floor, trying to catch his breath and he was shaking.
'' No…'' Chiro was looking to girl. Antauri stopped Gibson, which carried some instruments.
''Wait.''
''But the girl's life is on''
''WAIT.'' He repeated. Chiro was holding the girl's hand.
''Here goes nothing.'' He mumbled. Chiro kissed her and joust a little bit more energy rushed to girl's body. Then…he past out. Monitor showed no…wait. It showed heartbeats. Girl quickly raised her body.
''DENISE!'' she cried, while she gasped (I meant in way like babies. You know, when they breath they're first breath). Then she past out too.
''What joust happen?'' asked Gibson and Antauri answered to him.
''Transmitting energy. One for mind, one for body, I think they'll be o.k.'' Gibson checked girl.
''In a hour she'll be awake.'' Then he helped Chiro to stand up.
''It's all right. You did it.'' Antauri
''I…mind…she…eyes…shapes…'' he tried to tell what happen.
''Later Chiro you need to rest now.'' Said Gibson.
''I'm o.k. ''
''Why are you shaking then? Let's go.'' Said the silver monkey. Nova came to med. bay angry.
''Ouh, Otto and Sprx…do you know what they did? He…Chiro! Are you…''
''He's o.k. He only needs a rest.'' Antauri helped Chiro to get to his room.
''What happen Gibson?''
''He did it.''
''Did I imagine or he couldn't stop looking the girl?''
''He was looking to her.'' Nova smiled, but then she remembered.
''Sprx and Otto blow up your lab and they throw some green liquid to me.''
''THEY DID WHAT?''

So…what do you think? Next chapter next week! (what? I need a break...who am I kidding? I must clean my room and mom thinks that I'm too much typing)

Dawn: HE, HE, HE
Me: That means that you're stuck here and no progress.
Dawn: WHAT?
Me: He, he, he.
