Chiro's P.O.V.

"I'm glad you're back, Chiro," Antauri said. "It's good to be back, Antauri," I said. There was a knock at the door making Antauri and I look at the main was someone with a cloak on knocking on the door. I watched as Antauri pushed a button that opens the door. When the person came into the main room, I saw that it was Skeleton King! "H-help me, p-please," he begged. "What happened to you," I asked, surprising Skeleton King, Antauri, and even myself. "The Citadel of Bone crashed and when I heard Mandarin yell, I went looking for him. Apperently, there was a weak spot in the floor and I didn't know it until I fell through it," Skeleton King explained. I stared at him for a few seconds. "Where's Mandarin," Antauri asked.

Skeleton King shook his head and said,"I don't know." Antauri and I exchanged looks. "We'll go look for Mandarin, but after you've had some rest, okay," I asked Skeleton King. "O... okay," he said sleeply. I swear if I had not been standing where I was, Skeleton King would have face-planted onto the floor. I don't know why but something told me to stay where I was at and catch him. "So... whoes room can he stay in," Antauri asked. I thought for a secaond. "He can stay in my room," I answered.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, Kid," a voice asked. Antauri and I gasped when we saw Sparx standing in his tube. "How long have you been standing there," I asked nervously. "I've been here since Skeleton King explained about the crash of the Citadel of Bone, falling through the floor, and not knowing where Mandarin," Sparx said. "Okay and to answer your question, yes I think it's a good idea because, don't you see? He's never came to us before, and now that he has, I'm not just going to say no when he wants help from us now. In other words, I'm going to help him wether you like it or not," I said. Sparx was stunned along with Antauri. Soon there was another knock at the door. Antauri pressed the same button to open the door. Antauri, Sparx, and I stared at the screen. Swish! I heard the sound of someone coming up the tubes.

I turned around to see a beat up Mandarin. "Mandarin!" I yelled. I gently place Skeleton King on the floor and ran up to Mandarin. He was smiling, as if happy to see me. Mandarin tried to take a step toward me, but fell luckly into my waiting arms. Antauri and Sparx turned around and watched as I picked Mandarin up gently. I took him to the medical room to see how bad he was. "Why are you helping me," Mandarin asked. I smiled as I placed him down on the medical bed. "Because in a way you are still part of the HyperForce, like you were so many years ago. Besides your family is here and I'm sure they would appreciate it if someone helped you after what happened earlier," I said. Mandarin let a tear fall. "Thank you," he said quietly. I turned around and smiled at him. "You should rest now. According to the analysis, there are no broken bones. Just pretty bad bruising, is all," I said kindly. "Okay," he said tiredly. Within seconds he fell into a peaceful sleep.

I walked toward the door and took one more look at Mandarin than went back into the main room. I was surprised to see the rest of the team in there. I soon noticed that Skeleton King had waken up and everyone, except Antauri and Sparx, was yelling at him. "Get off our ship," an angry Nova yelled. Skeleton King was hurt. Antauri and Sparx were staring at me and I knew that they had tried to stop the others. Skeleton King started toward the tubes to leave. "Stop," I said. Everyone turned toward me, even Skeleton King. I stared at Nova. "He doesn't have to leave. Not after what he's been through," I said. Nova stared back. "And just what has he been through that makes it where he doesn't have to leave," She said hatefully.

"Nooo!" We froze where we aere and looked toward the main camputer screen. What I saw on the screen gave me a little hope on making it through the Yellow Fever. There on the screen was Shadow the Hedgehog, Abigail's pet dragon, Shadow, and Abigail herself. The three of them were surronded by formless from the Savage Lands. I saw that the formless were circling them slowly, looking for a weak spot.
