"Good to see you alive idiot." I said weakly. "Haha. Yeah thanks man. Sorry it took me awhile to see you. I was in a bad situation. Its all good now." "That's good. Ha…Ha.." "Is there anything I can do for you? You look terrible." "Not really. I was supposed to take my medicine awhile ago. I wanted to talk to you first. It's a reaction to my powers." "Oh yeah you told me its slowly killing you." "Not anymore. It just exausts me to the point I can't move on my own." "Lets get you home. I will stay outside don't worry." "Nah its ok now. You just surprised me is all. I wasn't sure what you were going to do. You haven't been back in years and now coming into my house I don't want you hurting my family." "(Sigh) Kiran I won't hurt your family. I promise. Your family was like my own remember? I lost mine when I was only 5 years old and your family your mother took me in first. Then later she died. Then your dad remarried and had your siblings." "Yeah I know. Lets go before I can't even talk anymore. Cough Cough."
He got me to the house and West yelled for my wife. Kairi came running. "Here is your medicine Kiran! Here lay down here and I will help you drink it." They laid him down and Kairi supported his head and tipped the medicine up. "There we go. Good boy." He drank it all. "Ok sleep well Kiran." Said Kairi. "Thanks Kairi. You too West." Then I closed my eyes and slept until morning.
The next morning it was Zel's bday. Kairi was making Zel's favorite breakfast which was basically eggs, and bacon. She got up and everyone ate their meal. Then they started getting ready for the party. Zel prettied herself up closer to time. Scared and excited to tell Kane how she felt.
That afternoon we were all at the party and having a good time. They were running around playing tag and other random games. Then it was a normal bday. I asked Kane if I can see him for a minute. "Yeah sure. Be right back man." Said Kane. Zel walked with Kane to a place where no one can see them. They both sat down and she said, "Kane. You probably knew this a long time ago. I…I like you." "What? Can you say that again?" She took a deep breath and said, "I like you." She said quicker. "I thought that is what you said. Yes I have known for awhile I was just waiting to hear you say it. You know I never had anyone before. So if we do end up dating I wouldn't know what to do." "So is that a yes?" "Of course it's a yes. When I thought I was going to die the only thing I was thinking of is you and your brother. Hoping, praying you guys were ok. Now seeing you here. I'm just happy you both are ok. I love you too." So they hugged each other and headed out to everyone. They were holding hands. Ryz came over to them because he saw the hand holding. "So are you two an official couple finally?" "Haha. Yeah looks that way doesn't it?" "Be good to her. If you don't I will kill you myself. I aint joking." "Yeah I know. I would never hurt her. I swear." "Good."
Just as everyone was cleaning up something was starting. "Hahaha So you are here after all." Said a strange man. Master was invited to the party so he said, "Its you! What the hell are you doing here! You are not going to touch these children!" Kiran, Kids and Kane came running over. "Hey what's going on?" Said Kiran. "This is the man who killed my wife and kids. My former old friend." Said Master. "I see. What does he want?" said Kane. "That's what I am trying to figure out." Said Master. "What the Hell do you want from me! I will give it to you if I can! Just leave these kids alone!" Then his old friend ended up holding his head like something is wrong. "Woah what is it?" Said Master. "Is this why you loose control and want to kill? You want me to find out why you have the headaches?" "Yes. I don't know why I'm doing this. I can't control it! Please help me! Before I turn again! Shit too late! Haha You want him back well too bad. I am the other part of him that protects him. If I am to be controlled there is one person who can train me. That is Master." "How can I train you! I couldn't even stop you from killing my wife and kids. Plus I was younger back then. Maybe." "Master. You were a disciple of Master Yue weren't you? Didn't he teach you some tricks?" "I was only his disciple for a short time before he died I was only there and barely know the basics." "I think I was cursed. I don't know by who. Someone needs to help me. I'm trying to fight this guy off."
"I know a thing or two about curses." Ada spoke up. "Come here young man and let me see you." Masters old friend came over to Ada and let her look at him. Sje said, "Well you aren't cursed. But, you do have multiple personalities. Your other half is indeed what he said. He is there to protect you. Let me speak to him." "Are you sure its safe? I don't want him to attack anyone else." "Everyone will be fine. Trust me." He did as he was told and stopped fighting his other half.
"Hello old lady." Said his other half. "The names Nike." "So what is it exactly that you are after Nike?" said Ada. "Well I have been with him since childhood. He always got picked on and created mean a few years after. After that I came out and got him in trouble. I disappeared for awhile since he doesn't remember much. He was in an accident which caused it. The day I came back out was the day I murdered Masters family. I didn't mean too. I was on a rampage ready to come out and hurt anyone who dares harm Fumi." "So his name is Fumi is it? I knew a little boy named Fumi awhile back. I think it was 10 years ago." "What is your name old lady?" "My name is Ada. Everyone calls me old lady Ada." "Ah so you are who he wanted to see. He has been talking about wanting to see an old lady for awhile. I didn't know who." "So why don't you listen to Fumi? Why do you randomly attack people?" "As you know I am not the main person. They are the ones that need to learn to control us. Do you perhaps know how to teach him?" "Its been so long since I have had this case. Yes I can. Its just today I can't help you. I can get you a something to help you sleep for a few days. I will help you then. Also I can bring the person that had the same situation as you in here when I do ok?" "Thank you old lady." She gave him the medicine and he fell asleep. Ryz was examining the medicine and found out what was in it.
"Ada! Are you sure that is safe? That is poisonous, isn't it?" said Ryz. "It is if you take too much. With this amount he won't die. He may get sick but will get over it in a few days." "That's good." "Well lets all get to our destinations and calm down. The party is over and its time to head home." Said Ada. So I and the others headed home. Zel said, "Hey Kiran? Is it ok if I spend time with Kane for a bit? He can make sure I make it home ok." "Yeah sure. Don't stay out too late ok?" "Ok thanks." She said. Then her and Kane hung out at the place he was staying. Then everyone else went home.
Once they got home, Ryz started feeling weird. "Kiran. Kiran! I don't feel so good. I think something is wrong." I ran over to Ryz to see what I could to help him. "What's wrong Ryz? What can I do to help?" "I don't know what's wrong. I just have a bad feeling. I don't exactly know what it is." "Ok lets do this. Lets go to Kane's house. I am assuming we will meet your sister on the way since its getting late." "Yeah lets hope so." Ryz and I decided to head over to wear Kane was. Sure enough we met them half way.
"Brother What's wrong?" "You don't feel that?" "Feel what? I don't feel anything." Ryz was sweating bad. He was about to collapse when Kane caught him. "Hey Ryz! You going to be ok?" "Y-Yeah. Ha…Ha.. I think so. I just need rest." "Lets get him back to your place. We will have the doctor do a health check." Said Kane. "No we need to send word to ada. If he gets worse we will have the doc stay here until she gets here. They may not know what is wrong with him." "OK then. Lets hope he can hold on until Ada gets here." I was the one to get Ada.
"Ada! We have an emergency! You need to come to my house fast!" "What seems to be the problem Kiran?" "Its Ryz. Something is wrong with him." "What are his symptoms?" "I'll tell you on the way. You can bring Hazel." So Ada got Hazel and they left. He told her Ryz symptoms and she nodded. "Ok I might know what to do. Where is Zel?" "She is with him." "Ok then."
I ran in and Ada walked in. "How is he?" said Kiran. "He has a really high fever." Said Kane. "Ow. Yeah he sure does. You said he felt strange then he started feeling weak?" Said Ada. "Yeah we just got home and said he felt strange." Said Kiran. "OK then. Ryz. Can you hear me? If you can here me blink or move a finger." Ryz moved a finger. "OK good. He can hear me. If you can talk move a finger for yes and don't do anything for no." He moved a finger. "Can you tell me why you felt the way you did before you passed out?" "Old man. Cough cough." "You mean the man that is staying with me right now?" "Yes." "Hazel go get him for me. Be careful there and back ok?" "Yes maam." Ada was only able to put a rag on his head and give him some herbs for the pain.
Awhile later Hazel came with Fumi the old man who was masters old friend. "How is he?" "Worse. He won't talk anymore he can barely move. Fumi what did you do to the boy?" "I didn't touch him. Kane and Kiran made sure." Then he thought of something. "I may not have, but there is something my other half could have done. Nike." Then Ada called Nike out. "Yes old lady. What do you want? I was sleeping." He said annoyed. "What did you do to Ryz?" "You mean that cyborg kid? I didn't do nothing but something looked wrong about him earlier. It looked to have something to do with the metal half of his body. Yeah I know a thing or two about metal and stuff. Mind if I try to help him?" "Any help would be appreciated." Said Kiran. Nike went over and check out the metal part of Ryz body.
"Hmm. Ow. That's hot. Yeah here's the problem." "What is it?" Said Zel. "You know what this piece is right Zel?" He walked over to show her. She looked shocked. "That's…." "Yes that is why he is like that. Do you know how to get another one. This one is fried. And until we get another piece he won't get any better. If anything he will get worse. The longer he is this way the more his metal will heat up." "Do we know where master is staying now?" "Yeah he said he was staying with my brother Talon. I will go get him. Zel Everyone can stay with Ryz. I will be back with Master." I ran over to Talons and knocked on his door.
(Knock Knock) "Its me your brother." He opened the door and saw how worried I was. "Is master here. Its an emergency." Master came up and said, "What's wrong now?" "Ryz is in trouble. He needs a new important part." "Oh crap. I hope its not what I am thinking it is." Master ran over with me and we headed to my place.
Master ran in worried. "What piece does he need?" Nike showed him the piece that was fried. "Its just as I thought. Dammit! Has any of his other pieces fried?" "No not that we know of yet." "OK luckily I can make the piece here. I make them the same way he does with my robotic arms." He opened up one of his arms and started making the part.
It took about 10 minutes to make it. "There done. Before I can give it to him I need to make sure no other piece burned." Master Touch Ryz metal chest. "They are warm but not fried that's good. Once I put this piece in things will cool down and he should be fine in the morning." He carefully put the piece in and waited to see if it worked. They waited for a few seconds and it started working. "Mind if I stay here kiran? Make sure he is ok." "Yeah sure you can sleep in his room on a cot." "Thanks. Thank you too Nike for helping out Ryz. How did you know what was going on?" " I had a childhood friend who ended up a cyborg because of an accident. His face was pretty bad. So was his chest and arm. Basically his right side." "I'm sorry." "Its all good." Ryz fever was finally going down.
The next morning Master woke up. He saw Ryz breathing easier than before. "Oh thank God it worked." He was caressing Ryz hair. "Hmm. M-Master? Cough cough." "Yeah its me. How are you feeling?" "A little better. What happened. Cough cough." "One of your pieces got fried. I had to make another one. You overworked and a piece got fried. You need to slow down." "No I didn't overwork. Nike did something. I could have sworn I saw his eyes chance color." "What color did they change?" "They changed a golden color." "Shit. Are you sure?" "Yeah why?" "Just be careful when you are in battle with him. Never look him in the eye again ok?" "O-Okay." "Now get some rest. I will let everyone know you are awake and doing better." Master walked out and let everyone know.
"Nike I need to talk to you." Nike who is Fumi's other half followed. "What's wrong?" "You are. You said you didn't do anything to Ryz." "I didn't. If I did I don't remember. OH crap did my eyes turn gold again?" "That is what Ryz said he remembered."
