(20) - Metal and Eclipse

20 - Metal and Eclipse -

Ciciko was in-awe to see Stormstrike's effective attacks, he jolted to hear a voice, "Ciciko? Astroma Station is prepared to aid, what is the current situation?" Maskmana inquired as he looked towards Amato's sleeping figure. "Boboiboy and Fang have returned. Or Admiral Fang has at least, the situation is steering in our favor." Ciciko responded, pressing on the intercom, glancing at the other camera's still operating to see Whirlwind and Earthquake fighting with Ether Gopal.

"Boboiboy to Station," Ciciko excused himself from Maskmana, seeing that it was Freezeglaze's intercom, "Ochobot is starting to lose power, we need to figure out a way to drive out the enemy ship to the other side." Freezeglaze stated as the power-sphere hugged him, an echo of cries coming out of it as Freezeglaze remained calm while comforting him. Ciciko hummed, "Ciciko to Boboiboy, I'll inform all agents of nearing retreat, I'll see what Kaizo and the rest can do to push them back." "Understood, sir." Freezeglaze stated as he looked to see that Nut was plugging Ochobot into a power-supply to keep them at odds.

Inside the Oneiric, Boboiboy was unable to transform and interact with most things in the Oneiric as Eclipse was hugging Amato before him as Metal stood beside the slightly translucent figure. "I'm so sorry I hurt you, son." Amato uttered as Eclipse sobbed, the memories of the medicines he had to inject to the boy in-order to keep him from shifting into an alien, noting the trauma it had caused. Metal glanced at Boboiboy who kept a steady gaze on the test-tube that Eclipse was trapped in, shattered as Amato punched through it to reach the male he now held. "We don't have much time." Metal spoke as Boboiboy turned to him, Eclipse sniffling as he stared at the two, confused.

Eclipse spoke out, "W-What do we do?" Metal huffed a breath, looking towards the clocktower that neared the eleventh-chime. "We need to get out. But... what'll happen to you?" Metal asked the original version of them, Amato and Eclipse walking over to see that he'd become intangible, like a ghost. Boboiboy huffed a breath, looking towards his father, "You'll need to tackle Shadow on your own... I didn't find Dark on my way here... only he's left." Boboiboy stated as Amato looked ahead, seeing that There were symbols forming a path to the dark-element.

Amato held Eclipse and Metal's shoulder, patting them, "Keep safe. See you all on the flip-side." He said as the two elements looked at one another before moving to hug him for a few seconds, Boboiboy smiled to see his father hugging back before they let go, soon seeing him disappear to the distance. His body starting to glow with different colors, Boboiboy bit his bottom lip, "I hope I live..." Metal and Eclipse slowly disappeared alongside him, uttering reassurances as they had turned to dust.

There was a frantic call in the medical unit, Yaya ran inside with the help of Gopal, seeing multiple doctors in the ICU, Boboiboy's arms were coated in weird symbols as his body convulse, heart palpitations evident as Yaya excused herself into the room, huffing to see that his body was flippant. "Hold him down! Hurry!" She yelled as the nurses came in to help, two doctors left as the others headed out to assist incoming patients from the cocked ship.

Yaya soon looked around the room, seeing the crash-cart as she fumbled to find the syringe and medicine her husband needed, panting as she carefully pointed the syringe and injected the material, seeing that his heartbeat was leveling slowly, his shaking body slowing down to normal, there was a loud thud, soon her eyes widened to see some minions break through a wall, seeing Boboiboy as they tried to attack, the doctors were pushed back as there stood two familiar figures.

"I don't recall asking for your help, get lost." Boboiboy Lunaclipse spoke with venom as he pushed them back with his usual red-hued bubbles, snapping to conjure an arrow-harpoon-like weapon, throwing it, "Lunar Burst!" acting like a frantic weapon, it struck the enemies as Lunaclipse head to defend the floor.

The wall was slowly repaired as Yaya gasped, staring at the iron-element before her. He gave a pressed smile, "Thank you for saving us." Boboiboy Steelclad voiced as her throat felt stuffy, whimpered as her tears came, he gently wiped the tears that fell, "I can't pamper you right now, dear. I'll be assisting outside, okay?" He spoke softly, seeing her nod as he pressed a kiss on her forehead, moving out of the room as Yaya huffed a breath, looking down to see the symbols glowing, reaching for it to feel that his body was overheating.

Yaya looked at the baffled nurses, "G-get me some ice! A lot or call someone who can provide it! He's overheating!" The staff rushed off, the doctors grabbing some towels and soaked it with water as they tried to lower his temperature. She thought, 'Please be alright...' She quickly started removing his vest as his sleeveless shirt and pants were the only thing left, using the ice they'd retrieved, she completely wiped his figure down.

She heard footsteps, looking back to see Freezeglaze present, moving towards her and grabbing her hands, seeing them turning pinkish. He frowned, "Are you trying to get yourself hurt, angel?" He stated, pulling her back as he stared at the symbols, hissing, "Where are you, Shadow..." He turned to see Yaya's concerned gaze, sighing, "Tend to the other patients for now, I'll handle the overheating portion." He expressed that the rest felt shocked to see the floor beneath his feet get coated with ice.

Yaya nodded, "C-Call me when something else comes up, understood?" She grabbed his hands, shocking her when he moved to press a soft kiss on the back of her hand before letting go, "Understood." The rest moved out, the room slowly turning into a large freezer as Freezeglaze looked down to his corporeal body, arms crossing over his chest, 'C'mon, Dad... Shadow.'

As Amato looked around, he froze to hear the eleventh-chime, "We're running out of time." He muttered, looking to see that the path he's following was far from over, he rushed off, calling for Shadow as Bentley silently observed his distraught, smirking as tilted his head, looking around the surroundings, 'What an interesting turn of events.'
