A terrifying thought struck him like a truck.

"Wait! What if the Metal Edge isn't the only anomaly? What if something else is wrong?" Basil raised a hand stopping everyone. Without a warning a sharp pain stung his stomach. He clutched it as he reached out for something to grab on to. The first thing he touched was Dad's arm. He held on to it like a lifeline.

"It's…happening…again!" He spoke through clinched teeth. Dad helped him sit down only for him to roll onto the floor. The pain flared up to point where he wanted to scream again. Somehow the pain was even worse than before. The only thing stopping him was Dad's hand covering his mouth the lower part of his nose. His shirt slid up to his chest as the Elucidator rubbed against his stomach. Tears began to run down to his ears and the floor. Daddy help me! His mind screamed.

"He lost some parts of his stomach and intestines…along with a small, half dime sized hole in his left lung." Dad said quiet enough just for everyone to hear. Part of his lung was gone? No wonder deep breaths hurt. The instant the Elucidator was off his skin, he flipped to the side drawing his legs up, sliding Dad's hand off his mouth. New tears slid down to drip next to him. He didn't scream or yell, all he could do was take in air to make new tears and grip his stomach. Dad put hand on his arm rubbing it and he choked out a small cry. This wasn't fair! Why was all of this happening to him? Why not anyone else?

"We have to get him back home!" Basil cracked an eye open to see Dad messing with the Elucidator. Home. No word had ever sounded so nice. It was enough to ease the pain a bit. He suddenly felt very cold and his body shivered in the warm air. How can I be cold? It has to be like the middle of summer! A soft warm object landed on top of him. There was a familiar smell to it. Dad's sweatshirt? He wanted to say "Help me" but he couldn't get his mouth to move. His eyes became heavy then they shut leaving him in darkness.

Katherine was about to scream out Basil's name but Johan covered her mouth so all that came out was "B-".

"Katherine don't shout! He's just a sleep. See?" He pointed out. She tore his off her mouth.

"Probably from his body trying to heal itself." JB said staring down at the sleeping Basil. Basil's chest slowly raised then fell in a rhythmic pattern. He looked like he was sleeping in bed without the bed. JB took his sweatshirt off Basil and wrapped it around his waist. He picked him up and slug him on his back. His head and arms dangling over his shoulders and grabbed his legs, like a weird piggy-back. Basil didn't react at all during the movement.

"He's going to be alright right Dad?" Matt asked truly concerned for his brother. He would be the same if it was Katherine in Basil's possession. JB gave his other son a hard look then answered,

"Yes!" Matt sighed and smiled weakly. When he first saw Basil and Matt he thought time was completely broken. He was a bit surprised to hear they weren't biologically JB's. They defiantly looked like they could be. They got out of the shop and wondered around looking for a place to sleep and the other anomaly. The moon glowed brightly enough so they weren't stumbling around. It looked like a white close by planet with the dark spots. When Basil confessed about his connection he thought he was nuts or somehow got his head hurt. After they came back from the forest he wasn't sure about that anymore. Basil looked absolutely terrified. A kind that can't be fake. If only they had one direct link like he was used to.

"Chip where would the best place to hide be?" He asked keeping his voice to a whisper just in case. The streets were virtually empty except for the few stragglers heading for their homes.

"Fallow me." JB said over his shoulder, the one where Basil's head wasn't dangling. For someone carrying another person he moved pretty fast.

Everything was dark and barren. Then there was the smallest flash of light. Basil focused on were the flash was. He started to doubt he ever saw it but then another flash came even brighter than before. I saw that! I defiantly saw that! Now questions asked. The flash returned and kept returning as pulse. Each wave became bigger and more intense till he was force to shut and cover his eyes. When the light died down he found himself staring at a planet completely see through of the most clear blue and purple light. It looked more like a perfect frozen bubble than a planet. A ring of white light erupted off the planet then rushed off violently into space. The bubble planet exploded after the ring left. All neighboring planets were smashed into pieces by the light. The debris smashed into other planets, pelleting them till they were completely destroyed. The ripple effect continued all across till only darkness remained. Time and space were completely destroyed. Basil stared the emptiness his body racking.

"This hasn't happened! It a dream-no a nightmare! That's all it is. With everything that has been happening it wouldn't be a shock of I saw this. I'm just under all of stress that's all." Basil told himself. With each statement his body calmed down till he was perfectly fine. He didn't even the slightest bit panicked.

"So he passed." A voice echoed around him. It wasn't one he recognized.

"Your rationality is very impressive. I can see why it's you." Another voice giggled. Seeing that was some sort of test? A test for what? This makes less sense than his organ vanishing.

"What's going on?" He asked the voices forcing his voice to sound casual. I really must be losing it

"Not yet." The first voice answered. There was another powerful flash. He blinked a few times to have his eyes readjust. Now that light was more natural than white. There was a sound of muttering voices. But not the two from before. These sounded familiar. He tilted his head to find it was resting on something soft. Basil concentrated on just bringing his vision back. Dad was looking down at him. He looked relieved. A hand stroked the top of his head. Oh my head's on Dad's lap. No wonder he was coming from the side.

"It's nice to see you're awake again." Dad smiled. So it was all just a dream. Thank God! I never want to go through that again!

"Basil you're ok!" Katherine cheered.

"You really had us worried there." Chip stood next to Katherine.

"Can you stand?" Johan asked.

"Yea just give me a minute." He said weakly. Really all he wanted to do right now was staying lying down with Dad stroking his head. But everyone needed him up and about.
