Chapter 17: Wonderous Sorrows

Kowalski, fell to the floor in an instant as the laser had burned and ripped his shirt like acid and his body, smoltered with the stain of blood. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think as I watched his ocean blue eye haze over and fall to the floor with splatters of red, my eyes widened as my lips began to tremble and quiver.

Some time later I regained my voice,

" KOWALSKI" I shrieked as Skipper and his men came over and saw Kowalski's breathing become more eratic and strangled as time ticked on, neither of us had noticed at this point that had escaped with his daughter and hit the self destruct button.

The alarms went off and shrouded the place in a neon red lighting.

I touched his hair and felt the warm fuzziness and his paleing face and blue eyes, blood pooled out of his mouth and I watched as he grunted and turned his head towards me with a smile. His hand loomed out and began to wipe away the fountain of tears from my bloodshot eyes.

" ...Sky...you're...too...pretty...to...cry...over...me" He let out as his breathing became worse.

I gasped a cry and tried to speak as well.

" ...you...you...your my..lllife now...don't leave me...please...don't" I touched his face once more and watched as his eyes became more hazed over and his breathing began to slow to a daring pace.

Skipper looked down and I saw tears flow from his eyes as well, the other boys mirrored his look as I all stared at them and began to break down. They were giving up on him, Kowalski..was as good as dead, and we couldn't help him.

" Kowalski...I...love..you" I cried out as I heard a distant rumbling from the hallways as I knew the place was starting to collapse from the self destruct button. Skipper, Rico and Private started to evacoute when Skipper looked at me with tearfull eyes and shout.

" Sky! Double time move!"

I didn't budge, instead I sat there and watched as my world collapsed around me. Gill, Mom, and now Kowalski...I couldn't take it anymore, I'll just go with them.

" SKY!" Skipper barked at me hoping I would follow, he stared solemly into my dark, lifeless eyes as he knew I wasn't following him out. He bowed his head in silence before escaping into a tiny hole.

I started to close my eyes and with one last string of hope, I formed a strong bubble around us and prayed that I could heal him, if I could change him I could possibly do more right? I felt a strong sence of hope inside me that I hadn't felt before and as I opened my eyes, I gasped.

My hair that was dyed red began to drip from my hair and form into blood droplets and go into Kowalski's blood stream, healing him! I smiled brightly as I saw Kowalski begin to open his eyes and look at me.

I cried and hugged him as he looked up once at me and kissed me.

" Sky, we better get out of here, in 0.5 seconds the whole buildings going to collapse with us in it" He said matter of factly with his old voice. I giggled and smiled as I pushed the bubble outside and towards were the other boys were.

They smiled as Kowalski held me bridal style and kissed me passionatly in front of them.

I snuggled into him as we began to walk back to HQ.

Well, the most results I found in the reviews are B and C, so thats what I'll give ya for the next chapter.
