CHAPTER SIX - SOME SORT OF HOPE

Even though they could stay in the hotel, They had to leave, Crypto knew the syndicate would try and look harder, He didn't want anyone to get caught.

"We'll have to find somewhere else to go, But we can't stay here."

Crypto didn't like Mirage or Octane but He didn't want them to get caught either. "Crypto, I can't... " Flame stood there, She was overheating. She knew something wasn't right, Something was watching them. "Why? What's the matter?" Crypto tried to get something out of the woman. "They, Can see... Us." Flame was more hot then before, If she kept overheating she would turn into a Body of FLAMES. But before anyone could react, A bunch of Syndicate workers already surrounded them, They held them at gun point.

"Leave... My... Friends... Alone" Flame's voice sounded more hollow and unpleasant. "LEAVE... MY... FRIENDS... ALONE!" Flame had already transformed into what she didn't want to be, Into what she didn't want Them to see.

"Crypto, Please... Stay back... I don't want you to get hurt." You couldn't see tears but you could tell she was hurt. "No, You can't fight them all, Let us help. Please." Crypto looked Flame into her blazing eyes. Flame could've stood her ground but, She just smiled and Cried (Not for long because all the tears would eventually evaporate into smoke)

After Crypto, Mirage, Octane and Flame struggled to Fight The Syndicate workers, Flame decided she had no other option. She looked at Crypto, Mirage and Octane and pushed them out of the way, She had no choice, She had to self destruct. Crypto dropped to his knees, He didn't expect her to sacrifice herself... For him... For anyone. He couldn't tell but he was in shock, Tears were flowing down his cheeks. He promised her that he would protect her... All he could do was sit there in guilt. He thought all of this was his fault.

-After Some Time-

Crypto, Mirage and Octane were about to leave when they heard footsteps, They were in attack mode, If something was going to attack them they had to fight it. The footsteps got louder and louder until There... She... Was, Flame. But she looked different, She still had her physical appearance, She was just... Shorter.

Crypto Pov

She was already cute, Now she's cuter. I don't know if I can take it anymore, How am I gonna be able to approach her when she's this adorable?! "V, Your... Umm... Small." Flame just looked at him, She knew something like this would happen. "I know, It's only temporary though, sorry." Flame grabbed Crypto's arm while looking him into the eyes. "V,  What are you sorry for?" He cared about her, a lot, he didn't want her to feel bad. "I shouldn't have done it, I feel like I let you down..." Flame looked at the ground but didn't let go of his arm. "V, You didn't let me down, It's fine... Your here now so there's no reason to worry."

Unfortunately, Crypto and the Crew can't really go outside yet, So they decide to try and find more shelter else where, I sure hope Crypto wnd Flame become a couple because... Cute
