Doctor Blue stood up and told the other Cyclops, "I can't do anything else. He's as dead as Ushas was. He's blinking and breathing, but there is no electrical activity in his body. He's beyond a doctor's care. I have other patients. All the school is still terrified of SOMETHING!" He walked into the building as Rose dropped out of the sky near Hathor's sleeping body. She announced,"Lime is stable. She's in a cryo-tube at the base hospital!" The two Special Forces troopers were acting strange, moving around in a jittery cringing way. Rose pulled her pistols, seeing their body language. "What's wrong?" Across the playground,Sunny looked up at Toxic and asked,"Why can't you just bring him back to life like you did the Asuran lady?" Toxic said,"He's not here! Just his dead body! His other self is GONE!" Neblae scratched her face and said, "That shadow thing severed his hyper-frame...his SPIRIT from his body. Toxic was like that for years, remember?" Sunny bitterly complained at Measure, Toxic and Neblae,"Well, fix it! Find it and stick it back in him! You three have magic powers! I can't do anything!" She limped stiffly over to him and plopped down onto her knees next to him. She reached out to him with her right hand. Toxic started to smoke as she shook and clenched a fist. "We do THAT!. Like you did with me, that time I died with Bluebell, Kella and Toffet! We do up a SNARE and hunt him down and bring him BACK! Prince is like my little brother! DAMMIT!" Measure said, "I think it would be suicidal, this close to that thing! It might come into the Simulated-Non-Actual-Reality-Experience with us! That would be BAD!" Neblae asked,"Anyone else twitchy looking at it? I'm fine as long as I don't look at her body." Toxic snapped, "BAD? YEAH! BAD FOR IT! I'll kick it's BUTT! We gotta save Hathor from it! We gotta get Prince's spirit back,TOO! Let's GO! I like Hathor! She's silly goofy and shares her lunch with me sometimes! We gotta save her!" Neblae said,"You're going to burst into open flame any second. You need to chill!" Over with Rose, One of the Special Forces screamed,"IT'S LOOKING AT ME!" He clicked off his weapon's safety. Rose knocked the weapon skyward as he fired off a burst into the sky. She tapped the other on the helmet with her other pistol. She shouted,"YOU PULL THAT TRIGGER,AND I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF! THAT WILL FREE IT! GUESS WHO IT WILL EAT FIRST? YOU!! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SIGHT!" The second put his safety back on and stepped back. The first held up a hand and asked in a terrified voice,"Can't you FEEL it? It's IN there! It's LOOKING at us!" Rose jammed her pistol barrel into his faceplate and growled,"Vacate! You are relieved!" They ran away from the girl's limp body as if they were more afraid of her than Rose. Measure yelled over, "I think it's emitting some kind of telepathic or physical effect that affects human brains. I'm getting nothing, so it seems the same with you and Blue. Toxic and Neblae are on edge, but can function." Rose said,"I'm calling Thistledown and Jalisco to take care of the body." Toxic said, "When they get here, we're going in to save Prince and Hathor. If anything comes out, just shoot it a LOT! I wanna kick it's butt! Besides everything else...it made Sunny cry!" Rose nodded, looking at her little girl, who's arm dangled limply. Rose suddenly was overcome by wrath. "Do it. I'm filling in my Winged Swords as they arrive. ETA, twenty seconds! I REALLY want to KILL this thing!" Prince touched Sunny's left arm and she winced."That'll teach me for cutting out my limiters! I think I pulled every muscle in my body! Don't worry, we'll get you back. I ...hope they get mean old Hathor back ,too. I know you like her more than me." Prince looked at Sunny and said,"No. Not more. You is best friend. Hathor scared of my other forms. You is NOT!" Sunny smiled. --TO BE CONTINUED!--
