So here is chapter 3 I had to go watch a bunch of the series to get this one out because I couldn't think of what to write but once I finally got started I figured out what was going to happen, lol I think I re typed this like 3 times before I finally got what I wanted. Thanks for reading and please review.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Spider Riders, but damn I wish I did.


Ch.3 – Return, and then Goodbye.

Aqune and Hunter had finally arrived back at Arachna Castle, the 2 unloaded their spiders in the storage room and then when they were done they both grabbed a box from the now wall covering pile. Hunter and Aqune raised their arms, "Spider in."

The 2 headed for the nurses office to see how prince Lumen was doing and to drop off some of the Ibuprofen that they had gotten. When they got their all the Spider riders were in the room talking with prince Lumen about what to do about the latest attack made by the Earthen's. Everyone looked at Hunter and Aqune for only a minute before getting back to their conversation. Hunter set his box in the cupboard then took Aqunes box and opened it he started to place the small vile's in the cupboard and then he called over to the nurse who was standing in the corner of the room. When the nurse was beside him Hunter took a vile and a needle from the box, he walked over to the rest of the riders and saw the pain on Lumens face as they were talking. He looked at the nurse, "Can you get me something to disinfect his arm and the needle with."

The nurse nodded and then came over with a cloth, Hunter took it and wiped off the needle and then he wiped Lumen arms, Hunter then made sure there was no air in the needle, as he was about to put it in Lumens arm his wrist was grabbed by Igneous, "What are you doing to the prince."

Hunter looked at him, "It's something you guys don't have here, it's called a painkiller and as you can guess it's to relieve the pain from the gun shot, I think their some antibiotic's in the boxes too, Aqune can you sort the box out."

Hunter put the needle in to Lumens arm and when the liquid was all in he removed the needle, after about 10 minutes you could tell by the look on Lumens face that the pain was gone, Lumen smiled at Hunter, "This stuff is amazing, I feel so good now."

Hunter smiled thinking he might have given him a little more than what he was suppose to as he went to where Aqune was standing, she had sorted the contents of the box out, and from what Hunter could see there were needles, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, Penicillin, and Amoxicillin. Hunter took a box of amoxicillin pills and read the dosage on the back when he had finished reading it he gave Lumen 2 pills and got a glass of water, "Here take these they will help fight against infection and heal the wound."

Lumen swallowed them and took a sip of water, afterwards he handed the cup back to Hunter, Hunter looked at them all, "If I'm not here and someone's hurt you can read the instructions on the medicine to use it, most of it explains what to do pretty well, just be careful because if you give too much of some of these medicines a person can die."

Everyone nodded in understanding as Hunter sat down in the chair at the end of Lumens bed exhausted from the journey, he breathed heavily as he looked at Corona who was sitting across from him. Suddenly he felt Magma grab the thing that the other Earthen had placed on him, when Magma went to take it off Hunter felt a pain and then a sudden Electric shock throughout his body as he screamed in pain and then glanced up at Magma, "Don't touch it."

Magma looked at the pain that was evident on Hunters face, "What even is it?"

Corona got closer to look at what Magma was talking about, "It looks like a bracelet."

Hunter glanced up at them as the pain finally subsided, "That man was smarter than I thought he was."

Igneous looked at him, "Who's smarter then you thought."

Hunter looked up at him, "The leader of the earthen army, he's the one who put this on me."

Hunter lifted his arm getting a closer look at his wrist noticing the strange markings on the bracelet, he didn't think it was anything important at the time it was placed on him but now he wasn't so sure, He looked to see 2 small prongs had gone in to his arm from it. When Hunter saw the Prongs he couldn't believe it, he didn't know when they had entered his arm since he never felt pain before Magma had touched it. Hunter felt another shock but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the first one. When the shock stopped Hunter could hear a buzzing in his head as a song played in the back of his head, he put his head against his lap as he heard the generals voice radiate throughout his head, it was telling him he didn't belong where he was and that he should be with his family. Hunter closed his eyes and suddenly yelled out which quieted everyone, "Shut up, I do belong."

Corona leaned over Hunter with her hands on his shoulders, "What are you talking about Hunter."

Hunter cracked one of his eyes open and glanced at Corona, "There's a voice in my head and it won't stop talking."

Everyone watched as Hunter suddenly stopped grabbing his head and looked up, he was staring at the wall, but from what they could tell when looking at his eyes he really wasn't looking at anything, it was like he wasn't even there even thought his body was, and then suddenly Hunter lost consciousness.


"Hunter."

"Hunter."

Hunter could hear someone calling him, but he couldn't tell who, he wanted to open his eyes to see who was calling for him but his body felt so heavy. Hunter heard his name get called again but this time it sounded broken up like something was trying to block it out.

"Hunter come here honey."

Hunter heard a different voice this time; he could swear it was a voice that he didn't want to hear anymore he wanted it to go away. The voice called out to him again as he began to see something in his head, he was remembering things he didn't want to as he saw a little version of himself crawling towards his mother Liz who was smiling at him.

"Hunter."

He heard the first voice again and then suddenly he flew forward snapping himself awake, Hunter was breathing heavily as he sat up in bed to see Corona, she was looking at him with fear on her face. Everyone else was in the room 2 staring at him. Hunter put his hand up to his face to feel tears coming from his eyes; he wiped his eyes quickly and put his hand on the side of his head as he felt the pain from his headache. Hunter looked around the room to notice that he was in the bed beside Lumens in the nurse's office. Hunter rubbed his head gently as he looked at Corona, "What happened."

Corona looked at Hunter who was clearly trying to hide the pain he was in, "You passed out after saying you were hearing voices."

Hunter's eyes widened as he finally realized what the bracelet was, he quickly felt his arm and found what he was looking for he followed the small bump as it went up all the way to the back of his neck. Hunter turned his body suddenly punching the wall at what he had figured out. Everyone backed up not knowing why he was freaking out. Hunter calmed down very quickly as he laid back down in the bed. He felt a sharp pain in his head, and then he looked over and Aqune, "Can you grab the box that says Acetaminophen on it."

Like Hunter requested Aqune went and grabbed a box of Acetaminophen, and then she looked at him, "Why don't you take what you gave Lumen earlier if you're in pain?"

Hunter laughed as he took the box from her removing the pills and swallowing them, "What I gave him is a lot stronger then these, all I need it for is a headache so these will do."

Magma looked at Hunter when he was done taking the pills, "What happened to you and why did you pass out."

Hunter looked at him, and then pointed at his wrist "I think when you touched it two prongs went in to my wrist which released two really tiny wires that are now connected in my neck."

Hunter felt the back of his neck again and sighed, Magma looked at Hunters wrist not believing that something like that could exist. Hunter smiled at him, "It's not your fault its mine for not being cautious enough."

After Hunter had explained what happened everyone left the room to go finish what they had to do for the day, well Hunter went back to his room. When Hunter knew no one was nearby he brought his Manacle up to his mouth and began to talk to Shadow. "Shadow we have to leave now."

"But why?"

Hunter sighed, "I think the bracelet allows them to track me, and I think that they are going to be able to take control of me too."

"How do you know?" Shadow asked confused

Hunter's headache was killing him as he collapsed to his knees again, "Because I barely have control of myself as it is, that's why my heads hurting so much, so we have to leave soon."

"But Hunter the others may be able to help."

Hunter yelled in to his Manacle, "They don't even understand what I'm telling them about, how are they supposed to help me."

"But Hunter…"

Hunter whispered in a voice that sounded like he was breaking, "I don't want to leave, but I have to; and you don't have to come, I don't want to be alone again but I don't want to force you to be alone. I hate being alone but I don't want to force it on you too."

"If we're leaving were going together, so if we're going then get your stuff."

Hunter changed his cloths so he was wearing a long sleeve shirt to cover his arms, then he packed himself a bag and sneaked out of the castle. It was night as he was walking down a back alley with a robe on and his hood up so that no one would notice who he was. But against his luck well he was leaving he was found by the palace guard's, "Identify yourself."

Hunter was in the dark of an ally as he put his arm up and whispered in to his Manacle, "Shadow, Spider out."

Shadow was in the Shadows so that the guards couldn't see him, "Answer us, who are you."

Hunter put his arm up and whispered, "Arachna Power."

He transformed well he was in the dark of the alley so they couldn't see him, Hunter jumped out of the dark so fast the guards didn't know what was going on, Hunter hit the guards knocking them out he leaned them against a wall, and then he put his arm up, "Rider Out."

His armor disappeared as Shadow came out of the Darkness of the alley towards him just in time as he collapsed beside him. Hunter used Shadow to hold himself up; and when he felt he was strong enough to continue he raised his arm, "Spider In."

Shadow went back in to Hunters Manacle and Hunter continued on his path until he reached the Palace wall, as soon as he was at the palace wall he let shadow out again, he jumped on shadows back as shadow walked up the Wall jumping it when they reached the top. This time he didn't retract shadow but kept him out and stayed sitting on him as they continued. Hunter looked back at what he was being forced to leave behind and frowned in pain, "Goodbye."


So I hope you enjoyed reading and I hope you will read the next one when it comes out, I think I kind of made Hunter very depressing but I had to.
