Chapter 3: Scars aren't hidden forever

A yawn was heard from inside a room. Chiro was already walking up and getting ready for the day's activities. However the pain was also starting getting ready as well as he felt it started to begin. " Not now.." Chiro said while trying to cope with it. He walked to the kitchen ate breakfast with the team and started on his chores. He has to load the missiles into the robot, review on the battle tactics, meditate to calm and sharpen his mind, and give his Hyper bike a test run to make sure it was working ok.. However since the team had to do chores of there own or were patrolling city, Chiro had to do all of them be himself. "Well, let's go Chiro." he said to himself. He turned into his hyper form so speed up the loading. He was done by 9 am with the loading so he went to the battle room where the team would enter their tubes to control the Super Robot. Gibson had left the plans on an electronic notebook so Chiro just went to it and looked at it for an hour. "Alright what's next?" he thought "Oh yeah time to meditate" said to himself and walked to his room and into the small virtual chamber. Antari thought it would be useful to have a room like this for the whole team and Otto and Gibson built them into the robot. Chiro went in and sat down with his legs crossed and let his mind wander. He was in there for a bit before he "woke up" from the trance he set himself in. "One more thing until I can finally have time to plan out my plan." Chiro said while he walked towards the docking bay and to his Hyper bike. Putting on his helmet, getting on and turned the key to the right. "Alright, I feel the need. The need for speed" quoting Top gun while he revved the engine and let go. Soon he burned out and skyrocketed from the docking bay entrance. He had the side car attached so he knew that he had to have some restraint on his actions. He was speeding trying to maximize the speed he could get without turning over. While he passed a store on the highway and into the desert, it reminded him of Jin - May. When that happened, the pain returned stronger. "Ah!." he screamed "Not now!" he keep ducking and the bike was moving off its side. Chiro was fighting the pain while trying to not to crash. It was getting to the point where it felt as if something was crushing him. "I've got to slow down otherwise I'm making a painful crash landing." Chiro said trying to calm down while trying to avoid his pain. He kept screaming and screaming. "I've got to STOP!" he said and accidently released the sidecar and the Hyper bike began spinning in the air and throwing Chiro off the bike and increasing the pain tenfold. He was trying to stay awake but it prove highly unlikely. Chiro was injured and had a very powerful crash injuries on him. His hyper form protected him from dying but the results were still deadly. The fall broke his helmet open and his hyper form uniform had cuts torn on it. Soon he feel asleep lying on the ground injured not knowing what was going to happen...

Sprxs was doing his usual patrol around the city until he noticed smoke coming from desert. He turn the fist cruiser to check it out and he couldn't believe what he saw. "Chiro!" he say loudly and quickly landed. He went up and noticed he wasn't moving. "What happened to you kid!" Sprxs said to him but Chiro lay there without any movement. "I've got to get you back to the Super Robot, A.S.A.P.!" while he got Chiro up and slowly walked him to the fist rocket. Then he hit the throttle as fast as he can. Otto noticed this while viewed the screen and got on the radio to Sprxs. "Sprxs slow down you're going to crash." he said. "I can't do that, open the dock bay doors now!" he replied angrily "and get Gibson and a medical stretcher when I land." Otto looked confused. "Why? you look ok" he said. "Its not for me. Chiro's in bad shape. He took a nasty spill or something attacked him or something. He's in serious injury status." he said but noticed no one was replying to him. He saw the dock bay open and landed. Sprxs got Chiro and got out of the Fist rocket. Gibson was there and Otto was preparing the stretcher. "Oh my.." said Gibson while Chiro was being laid down and taken to the medical bay. The three monkeys ran there while trying not to drop him. "Quick get him in the orange tube!" yelled Gibson as soon they were inside. Otto and Sprxs put him in the tube and place an oxygen mask on him. Soon Chiro was flowing inside the tube while Gibson and the crew try to see if he was alive. "Well Sprxs, your quick flying got Chiro in time for help. From the looks of things he has a concussion, 3 broken ribs, multiple cuts on his torso, legs, arms and barely broken left arm. Good thing he was in Hyper form otherwise he wouldn't be so lucky." Gibson told the other two monkeys . "What's that?" Otto replied. "I don't know Otto..." Gibson then added. "Let me see if I can get a closer look." Gibson told him. He zoomed closer at the tube from the Microscope that was part of the tube. "Unbelievable. Its Skeleton King Energy but its not physical energy. Its.." "Emotional" replied Antari. "I never thought it would be true. I knew my masters spoke of such an energy but I never thought it existed." he soon added. "If you say its true, then that means it must of caused Chiro to have that accident." added Gibson. "What I don't get is what emotion does this energy affect him at?" Sprxs thought and said at the same time. "Well lets see.." said Otto. "It can't be happiness since he be in pain all the time, and it can't be anger since he only gets mad when an enemy has done something to upset him." Otto keep speaking and wondering. All the monkeys stop talking and were thinking until that all came to one conclusion. "Love!" all replied at the same time. "His love for Jin- May is what made him crash!" Sprxs said in amazement. "How do we get rid of the energy?" Otto cut in before Gibson had a say in it. "By his first kiss." replied Antari. "Your kidding right?" Sprxs told him with doubt in his voice. "No, any curse for love or in this case evil energy is cured by a kiss. It represents embraced feelings coming out." he turned and answered to him. "But what if she doesn't love him?" Otto then added. "She does, Otto but like Chiro, she doesn't have the courage to let him know." Gibson replied. "But we can't force them" Sprxs added in. "No, we won't. We'll follow Chiro's plan to leave an impression on her before we leave Shugazoom." Everyone nodded and Gibson and Sprxs stayed to watch over Chiro's condition. Nova found out but she decided not to let Jin- May know about the accident. Otto went to grab the damage bike and repair as soon and fast as he could. Chiro was thinking about Jin-May in his dreams and how he loved her so much. But every time he keep his feelings for her hidden, the pain would hurt him more and more to the point of screaming. "Sprxs and Gibson are in the medical bay and Otto is at the repair station, Nova" Antari told Nova but was interrupted by Chiro's screaming. "Oh no..." Nova said and both ran to the boy. "Ahh Ehh Ahh Stop!" Chiro kept saying. "He's in pain!" Sprxs said "I'll try to get some sedatives in the tube to clam him down." said Gibson frantically trying to concentrate. "Sprxs what has happen?" Antari entered the room and asking Sprxs. "It acting up again. Something in his dreams" Sprxs replied. "He's in complete pain." Nova told him. Chiro kept screaming and screaming until a new flow of liquid entered the tube and calmed him down. "There we go. I gave him enough to relax him. I've also analyzed the energy to come up with a temporary stop to his pain but it wont cure him. He needs to show his affections otherwise the pain can kill him." Gibson said calmly while the rest of the team relaxed from the ordeal. "I'll let him rest in here for a few more hours then I'll move him to his bed after I apply some bandages." Gibson said before he cleaned up the lab. "Let me know so I can give you hand." he heard Sprxs say while Nova and Antari left the room and started on Chiro's plan.
