Chapter Twenty-One: Guilt
The Kid and me were back to back, looking the Formless straight in the eye. "How many do you think there are?" I asked.
"I guess fifty," Chiro said.
"I was thinking one-hundred," I said.
"You wanna try the new move out?" Chiro asked.
"I thought you'd never ask," I said, a evil smile coming across my face. The kid glowed a neon green and I grabbed his hands. I twirled him and we shouted, "Monkey Frisbee!"
I let go of Chiro's hands and watched him plow through the Formless like nothing. I activated my magnets and chased after him. "Sprx!" Chiro shouted.
"I'm coming Kid!" I shouted back. I saw a big explosion of green and emitted a scream of terror. The Kid might be hurt or worse!
I plowed through the Formless and ran to the Kid's side. Formless goop surrounded him and he had a scratch on his chest. It broke my heart to see him hurt. We should be protecting him along with the rest of the city.
But my angry and hatred at Skeleton King and his Formless army grew. How dare he hurt the Kid! He would pay big time!
Chiro stood up and began to fight again. I fought close to him so if he was in danger I could get him out of there. I got a slash across the face and Chiro was sent flying backwards, his glasses flying off into another direction.
I gasped and quickly grabbed the Kid's glasses. He couldn't see without them. I knew he couldn't. I turned around the face the Kid and nearly had a heart attack. The Formless were closing in for the kill.
I screeched and attacked the Formless without a moments hesitation. They fell at my feet and I gave Chiro back his glasses. "Let's beat some Formless butt!" I shouted.
Chiro laughed. "I think you already did!" he shouted back.
I looked around to see no more Formless. My anger had gotten the best of me. I shivered at the thought that I might have hit the Kid in my blind fury. "Sorry Kid," I said.
"There's nothing to be sorry about," Chiro said. "You were just doing your job. A job you've been doing much longer then me. How long have a been fighting Formless now? Little less then a year? You've been fighting Formless before I was even born Sprx! You're the best!"
"Even better then Nova?" I asked, smiling.
"I'm not going to answer that," Chiro said quickly. I laughed and helped the Kid to his feet.
"And you're trained to fight Mandarin," I said. "You've been doing that since you learned to walk!"
Chiro laughed and we walked home where Gibson was probably waiting for us to return. Antauri and Nova were probably pacing and Otto was most likely looking out the window for his two buddies he could play video games with. "Hey Kid?" I asked.
"What Sprx?" Chiro asked.
"How 'bout next time we bring Otto," I said. "Three times the fun,"
Chiro smiled. "Sure," he said. I smiled and Chiro laughed. I just couldn't stop smiling. No matter how much guilt I felt Chiro never would let me keep it. He would laugh or smile that goofy grin and all my guilt would disappear.
Yeah, the Kid can do that do ya.
