Chapter 16 - The Powers Of The Crystal?!

"HAILEY NO!!!!!!" Both Hikari and Kurai yuoru called out. I was still standing. Barely, but standing. I heard a faint voice echo through my very being. "Sleep now because we have much to talk about newly awakened one." The Unknown voice told me. "Hi-,Ku-, n....fig.....ght.... p-" I was cut off when Hikari caught me as I fell. He started to heal me immediately, I then slipped into unconsciousness.

"There you are!" The voice called out. "Who... Are you?" I asked the voice. " I am an Amethyst crystal that is, from now on placed on your chest. Thanks to me you are alive now. My HP is now your HP and vice versa." The voice explained. "Thank you" I respectfully said as I bowed. "You are very polite compared to the other Chosen One's." The Crystal spoke. "Chosen One means that one person is chosen to keep the balance of all the multiverses, yet they can never enter their own universe ever again. You can leave a multiverse and go back as often as you wish. Each multiverse will need your help. Some may not need you after your help. While a few may. This one is one of the few out there. Your very soul is now embedded into this multiverse. You will always have a link to this multiverse wether you like it or not." The Crystal explained. "I have so many questions right now!" I said to the Crystal. "Ask away." The Crystal said. "Okay first why am I the Chosen One? And how did I become the Chosen One?" I asked. "The universe choses one Chosen One when the last one dies. When a Chosen One dies, the multiverses are in danger and so a new one is chosen by the universe. Even I do not know why you have been chosen but I know it is for a reason." The Crystal explained. "You will discover more of your powers as you go along but I will explain one to you now. You have your own type of solar beam. It is called Cosmic Beam. You will learn to use it in time but it is as strong as Hikari's solar beam. So use it sparingly." The Crystal explained. "You must go now! You are waking up! We will talk more when you fall asleep next!" The Crystal rushed me. "See you later!" I said as I ran off and followed the sound of Hikari's voice.

Meanwhile...

It had been over an hour and Hailey had still not woken up. She wasn't breathing either. The only reason why she was still alive is because I was performing CPR on her. This 'Ku' person was helping me. "Come on wake up Hailey!" I said. "I have just used a hypnosis to wake her up. Let's see if it will help. For some reason no matter how hard I try I cannot enter her dream." The 'Ku' person said. At this point we were both panicking. If it wasn't for the fact that we were performing CPR we might have both been a lot worse.

"Cough....Cough....." I woke up not being able to breathe straight away. After coughing for a bit despite the horrible pain in my chest I started to breathe. "Hi...kar....i?.....Ku....rai?" I looked up with confusion. " It's okay now Hailey." Hikari assured me as he sighed in relief. "Hailey..." Kurai yuoru said my name. I looked over at him and followed his gaze. He had looked down at my chest which now had an amethyst crystal embedded into it. I could barely breathe let alone speak so I decided to use sign language. "Can you understand me Kurai yuoru?" I asked to confirm if he could understand sign language. He simply nodded and said "Yes I do, I have learned sign language a long time ago and I have used it a lot since traveling." Kurai yuoru explained. "That makes sense." I signed back to him. "Hailey are you in pain anywhere?" Hikari asked. I looked up at him and pointed to my chest. "th...." I tried to say. Hikari understood already and used synthesis to ease the pain. I signed thank you to him. He then smiled back to say your welcome.

"Hey can I uh...." Kurai yuoru asked. "After what has happened. Yes, you can have a place to stay at our tribe. After the courageous actions you have taken I not only forgive you but welcome you as an official member of the Inochi no ki tribe." Hikari offered to Kurai yuoru. "Thank you so much for this uh..." Kurai yuoru looked over at Hikari as if asking for his name. "My name is Forest Hikari, Shefu of Inochi no ki tribe. What's your name?" Hikari asked. " I am Kurai yuoru but you both can call me Kurai." Kurai introduced himself. " And I am Cosmic Gem." The Crystal spoke. " You can speak!?" I signed with surprise. "Yeah of course I can. If you can then I can. Remember I'm the reason why you are alive right now." Cosmic Gem reminded me. "You're not gonna let that go are you?" I signed playfully. "Of course not! This means I can ask you to do any favour I want in return!" Cosmic Gem playfully teased back. "Okay, now the Purple diamond thing can speak?!" Hikari yelled out in surprise. "First I am an amethyst crystal embedded into Hailey's chest, Second my name is Cosmic Gem if you weren't listening." Cosmic Gem seemed to have pouted while saying this.
