Hello! Recently, I've been re-visiting all of my previously not-updated stories and finally updating them again! I hope you all enjoy!
I could see Cyrus taking different wires and strange pieces of machinery. He kept glancing back at the blueprints and grabbing different tools. I wasn't able to feel a thing, so I guess the medicine was working. I felt something spark in my shoulder, and could've sworn that my hand twitched.
"There. That, should do it." Cyrus said, pressing a few buttons in my right arm before closing it. Then he pressed down lightly on my chest, opening a panel. Cyrus pressed more buttons and closed that panel. "Try to move your arm." I focused on moving my finger, and then it moved.
"Oh my god... it worked. It really worked." I was able to make a fist with my hand, and then I lifted my arm off the bed. I grinned.
"Mom..." I whispered, sitting up and hugging her.
"Now, you're going to need to keep an eye on her for the next five months or so. If you can get Kayra to Borg Tower once or twice a month so I can check on her mechanics, it would help." Cyrus said. I looked between the two of them.
"Alright." Mom held out her hand. I slid my legs off the side of the bed, stepping onto the floor and falling down. Somehow, I managed to pull myself back up on the bed.
"Ow. That hurt." I muttered, rubbing my ankle. "Why can't I walk?"
"Hmm, I don't know why. Let me see." Cyrus said, wheeling over to me. I pulled my leg up onto the bed, and Cyrus opened a panel on the top of my ankle. Leaning forward, I looked down at the wires, buttons and switches now inside my ankle. Cyrus began to adjust the wires and buttons. I could feel a slight tingle, like my leg was asleep.
"I can't feel my foot." I said. "Well, I can feel it, but not very much."
"Hmm... I'm not sure what's wrong with the mechanics." A small amount of feeling had returned to my foot now, and that was steadily growing. Then I looked over to Cyrus.
"I can feel my foot again." He closed the hatch on my ankle, screwing it shut.
"That's good. The issue was just a slight wiring problem." I slid off the bed again, gripping the bedpost. I took a shaky step, then leaning on the wall for support. When I let go, I was able to walk on my own (of course, with a few slip-ups). In a few minutes, I was able to walk normally.
But to be honest, it felt weird to be walking again.
(One Month Later)
I hadn't had any glitches since the incident with my ankle. I was going to school again, but my friends clearly found it weird that I was now a nindroid, what had at first made me cling to life. Riko was thrilled that I was finally able to come home again.
Other then that, life was normal once again.
And I was grateful.
Short story was short, but I actually thought that it was a good way to build up to one of my upcoming characters. CameronNinjaDragons, signing off.
