Astro boy x Aurora

This story is based in the current city of the movie Astro boy (2009) where now boy fights are illegal and you must have a permit to own a highly dangerous robot to have it Rome around the city not causing trouble or it’ll be destroyed. The character isn’t based of the movie battle Alita. She’s an oc I created a week ago as the name suited her but she will be renamed in the story so don’t worry. This story is a mix of both Astro boy and battle Alita bits but like I said before it’s mainly in Astro’s city and you will be underground where people secretly make highly dangerous robots for battle and use them in battle races to get a ball destroying their opponents for it and win the game. But there are different tiers and to win you would need to go through months of battles to get to the champion tier and win victorious becoming the champion and the most dangerous robot down there.

Chapter 12

The sun was high in the sky beaming down onto the rubbled down city that once stood high and mighty, waking all who slept in uncomfortable places hiding from the danger that crawled on the open areas for those who have the guts to step out and go against them before being taken away to a place unknown and dark.

"Wake up cadets if not I will honk you on the head with my bare hands and trust me I'll make it sting way worse than a metal burn" ??? Spoke up waking all of the robots up almost immediately while Ethan was still asleep for staying up a bit late with ??? Having a little chat with sign language so no other could eves drop on them.

"How come he gets to stay in?" Archer was grumpy and definitely not a morning person by the seem of things and grew jealous very quickly. ??? Never took her mysterious hooded cloak off ever and always found ways to keep it up even if she was sleeping which was quite interesting.

"Just shut up or I'll staple your mouth shut" she mostly made threats or joking threats to those who she hates but Archer took it as a hint that she liked him but really he was just a needy boy who wanted to use girls for his own satisfaction and right now he wants to know what she looked like under that hood.

"Aww, there's no need to flirt with me this early in the morning, commander" ??? Felt a twist in her stomach when he said that like if she wanted to vomit right then and now but she couldn't because of Ethan.

"Can we just get on with the search already" Emma wanted to leave the hide away as soon as possible hating it when he hits on every girl he comes across getting a bit jealous of ??? As she was taking most of his attention away from her.

??? Clicked her fingers 4 times waking Ethan up in a instant showing that he was ready to flip this ruined city upside down to find some survivors and the commanders best friend of he's still here.

Astro's PoV:

It Has been over 7 hours since me and Reno swapped turns for night watch and it was very uncomfortable laying on the cold concrete floor but it's all we have left of metro city and yet I still wait until the day I see her again no matter what happens.

"Umm, guys. Who are they over there?" Reno spoke Up pointing through the crack of the wall seeing about 6 or 7 people together but immediately split up but wait isn't that the mysterious person those robots were talking the other day. I gotta admit she does kinda look a bit sus though.

"Are they bad or good?" Ariel was right at the back a bit afraid of Confronting the enemy even though she was a robot that we managed to require and turn her against the hidden force. I was unsure if the new trespassers were good or bad so it would be best if we keep are guards up while wondering around the area.

"I don't know but they seem to be quite aware of their surroundings and seem to be in control of theirselves" I said as Reno gave me a weird look of confusion making me look back at him really hoping he would shut up.

"How should we know! They might be pretending for all we care th—-" Reno was being too loud but before he could finish I put my hand over his mouth as the mysterious being walked in are direction, great job Reno we might become scrap or worse slaves for the hidden force.

"Shhh" i hushed him as his muffled voice wasn't as loud as his big mouth while footsteps crept around us scanning the area for anything. They sighed before walking away which was quite strange for hidden force robots to do when they hear a noise, they would blow up the place than just look around it.

"I swear I heard someone yelling? Oh well, come in Ethan we'll sure find someone around here somewhere before informing Dr,Tenma on the current situation we are in" my dad, did they, yes they did does that mean they're here to scare us. I was in shock and happy at the same time when Reno wiggled free from my grasps before looking up and tripping over.

Reno wasn't like the others he mostly hated it when I took charge and only told directions when I'm busy doing something other than walking around the crumbled city I once live in. I hated him but he was my friend and that was naked Reno, well ya know Reno. But I regretted almost everything I thought of believed in Reno when he opened his trap.

"You're always so fixated about some random chick you'll never see again! Just grow up and help around for once instead of thinking about her! She's probably dead in some scrap heap or something!" He bursted yelling from the top of his lungs kicking rocks about nearly hitting some of his friends not realising what he was doing is making us vulnerable to attacks. I could t believe that he would say something like this especially after all the years we had together as best friends and now he would say that about someone I truly cared about I wasn't gonna let him off that easily.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing right now? You're gonna get us killed! And shut up you don't know Aurora" I said back as he froze and stared at something which wasn't me, fear was written all around his face as I turned skeins seeing the hooded figure right in front of the cracked wall leaking through at us listening as if the argument we just had satisfied them until it spoke.

"I would advise you quiet down or death will come to your door boy" it's voice seemed to sound a bit more of a female as I heard them speaking about it before but who was this being and why isn't it attacking us?

Reno was scared and was just staring as the figure moved making its way inside of out little hideout squeezing through with ease but the cloak covered their body as pink lights glowed from inside making me curious to know who this was.

"Who are you?" I asked looking at the figure as Reno moved away from them as if he had seen a ghost which serves him right to speak so badly about Aurora anyway.

"I am none of your concern right now. But I am here with my team to escort you back to our I know hidden location where Dr,Tenma would like to see that his son is alright and back in one piece and with minimal scratches" she began to explain what and why she was here for and was quite a quick find thanks to Reno being the loud mouth he is but what about Aurora.

"What about Aurora? Is she...." I couldn't finish my sentence as the figure sighed in response before looking at me and then I could see their face, it was a nice pale skin with fusion blue eyes as they smiled softly as if they were happy to see me.

"She's very much alive, I promise you that" she said as I grew a bit curious to know more about this being and who they are.

"How so?" I asked as they grabbed the top of their hood and pulled it down revealing their full identity. I froze in disbelief, are my eyes playing tricks on me. I rubbed my eyes hoping that it wasn't an hallucination. "Aurora? Is that you?" I asked as she crossed her arms a bit mad but she had a cheeky smirk on her face as she kept a nice cool composure right now.

"There is only one of me Astro, or should I say.... Toby" she spoke again but I was unsure to hug her or just stand there but before I could do anything she began to walk towards me then stopped right as we were only inches away from each other.

"I-I thought you'll never come back but you did you——-" I said before tears began to run down my face glad that she was alive and not dead but the thing that got me the most was when this happened.

She hugged me. She was actually hugging me like for real is this actually happening am I dreaming, tell me I ain't dreaming. I slowly put my arms around her hugging her back finally being able to hug her after all she's been through. It felt like I was free and her warmth was so smoothing and comforting.

Cora whistled in the back "looks like you were finally able to get the hug you wanted to badly" she said as I grew a bit embarrassed as we parted ways instantly thanks to Cora.

"It was good to see you again" Aurora said finally having that glimmer in her eyes which were full of pure determination and happiness as if something pushed her forward to make her come this far just to help me and even do something she was less likely to do way before metro city was deduced to rubble which made me happy.

On one PoV:

Aurora was now reunited again with her friends but what would the others think if they saw the true identity of their leader would they still follow her? Or would they choose a new leader for the mission after braking one of the important rules that Tenma told her not to do?

Aurora and Astro are now reunited once again and can now go back to the hideout where Tenma is currently at safely with some other people too helping to free those who are trapped under the control of the hidden force.

"So you're the girl Astro has continuously blabbered about all month. You're kinda cute" Reno said looking at Aurora as Astro began to get a bit angry of his friend hitting on her like that.

"Stop, I don't have time for your petty flattery. We need to get out of here as soon as possible or you'll be in a situation that not even hiding will save you" Aurora said embarrassing Reno In front of everyone as Astro began to feel a slight of relief that she didn't go along with it showing that she's not interested in him.

"Why did you take so long to come and get us?" Cora asked as Aurora took a bit breath in sighing looking a but uncomfortable in a instant confusing Astro.

"Well.....I had to take in some quite disturbing news about supposed my mother professor, Rose" Aurora seemed to not be able to speak of about her mother so much and about this news she was told by someone at the hidden base that used to work with professor, Rose revealing her dark horrifying truth.

"What is this news?" Cora was not the type of person to waited and grew a bit impatient which was like her one of the many traits Aurora liked to see in her friend.

"I not really from earth and I'm very much not a human or robot either...." Aurora grew nervous on how to explain herself to humans and robots about being an actual living robot human organisation from a planet called utopia, a place full of her kinda that can do things that robots and humans can't like for example:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

. Humans have soft skin and can reproduce offspring while her kind have hard skin like robots that are hard to pierce through without the right materials to do so and can reproduce offspring.

.robots can't eat food while humans can but Aurora can eat despite her having insides like a human but they're coated with a strong metal which is normal for their species.

.humans can bleed to death while alien species Aurora is are able to reproduce blood while robots can't but she can take any type of human blood while he organic/robotic heart filters it into blue blood which is her natural blood colour.

.humans can't change their eye colour like robots is they're being controlled or just plain mad which Aurora can do if she practices long enough to master it and prevent anyone from mind controlling her with their abilities or devises that could be stuck on or in her body.

.humans and robots have hearts and sources where their easiest weak or death points are while Aurora has two to actually kill her which is her heart and her head, both have to be hit in order to kill her or her species to kill them permanently before fixing them again.

.Aurora can jumper higher than a skyscraper or possibly to Mars if she truly wished to and never really needed oxygen to breath while in space thanks to her robot side of things as space is taken in through her nose and filtered into instant oxygen that allows her to live if she ever does go into space. Her swords are actually apart of her body and can make new ones with her own body enzymes and blood making them tougher the more she loses.

.if Aurora comes in contact with Scarlet Fougclipscombite which is the only type of mineral or gem that can possibly pierce through her tough skin and possibly kill or poison her especially when it glows bright red. Scarlet Fougclipscombite can open wounds and make bruises when In contact with her on anyone who is the same species as her but some have different type of weakness like: Magenta Rose Cavarhotite, Lime Lonrihydrite, Lanavine and more.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Aurora wasn't making any sense of herself right now but hopefully Dr, Tenma would be able to explain all of this since he's still working on the unknown DNA that was seen in her chromosomes as if it was forced in there when she was in the underground before they even met each other.

"I need to guide you all back to the secret hideout before anything bad happens but this needs to happen during the switching time when the day scouts are swopping with the night scouts" Aurora suddenly said ending this conversation about her unsettling truth about herself and concentrated back onto the evacuation of these young humans and robots that were in Astro's group without any loss or risks or she'll be in serious trouble.

"Sure, I'm up for a challenge as long as it doesn't come to you sacrificing yourself again to save us" Astro was very determined to get back to see his father and the others but Aurora wanted to know where Dr, Elifun was since Astro promised to protect him from the hidden force.

"Where's Elifun?" Aurora looked at Astro as he grew hesitant to respond rubbing the back of his neck as Cora kept quiet.

"We couldn't save him because of me...." Astro owned up to possibly be the cause of the death of her dear adopted father. Aurora and Astro made instant eye contact as she knew exactly what he meant while her body flowed with mixed emotions at the very moment unsure of what to express.

"You had one job....one job so I'm gonna do mine" Aurora responded holding it all in not wanting to expose her soft side to anyone right now especially to Astro. She was given strict instructions to bring back toby and as many survivors As she can to the hide out but there was a limit and right now all they can do is wait for an opportunity to find a place to expand their population.

"He gave his life to save us.." Reece stood in as he made his way by Astro's side u sure if he would make Aurora feel any different not completely understanding the connection her and Elifun shared before the invasion.

"You don't understand how I feel... so stay out of this" Aurora pointed at him while Astro understood her completely and didn't protest against her since she's already been through so much and lost too many loves ones and this would probably be the worst one so far.

"So what about the others?" Ethan asked as She showed him her communicator with a sent signal to all of her teammates as they prepared to leave the city and head back to the hideout where Astro's father waited worried and impatient for his son to be returned in one piece.

"Can I stick with you and Ethan?" Astro asked as he stood right in front of her like he knew that he was safe while Reno observed concerned for Astro's well-being. Both two groups had to wait until nightfall to make their exit since Aurora didn't share her current location to the rest of her team and suggested that they should meet at the last camp they put up and meet their which was hours away but as long as it keeps everyone together and alive everything will be okay.

"So.....how did your month go?" Astro asked which could've been said at the beginning of the conversation they should've had hours ago but he really didn't want to ask her about it incase it didn't sound good or brought bad memories to her again putting her off her mission.

"It good I guess...lots of training and team cooperation tests, missing my friends" Aurora said looking up at Astro then at Cora as she held a hand onto her chest awing at this moment finally seeing how much they meant to her and how much she missed them both.

They only had a few minutes left before taking off before being seen by the opposing enemies but Aurora had a bad gut feeling and seem to be off and distracted as she kept looking outside of the cracks for someone.

"Aurora, are you okay?" Ethan asked touching her shoulder as Astro clenched his left fist not happy that he was touching her but quickly unclenched as he watched over them making sure that nothing suspicious happens between them.

"Yeah just hoping that nothing happens when we're doing this or I'll have to step in while you lead the way" Aurora looked at Ethan confident while he grew hesitant not really wanting to take the lead in the mission if something does go wrong.

Astro's PoV:

I don't know why I was feeling like this was I really beginning to feel jealous of him right now of him. I placed a hand on my face and sighed knowing that I was being over dramatic right now knowing that when we get back to my father hopefully everything will be alright and find a way out of this mess and take down the hidden force once and for all no matter what.

Aurora suddenly stood up on her feet quite calmly while Ethan copied her standing behind her as if she was a shield. I got onto my feet in a instant as I went towards them wanting to know if it's time to go since it was already dark.

"Is everyone ready?" Aurora looked at me then around the room as everyone got up ready to go and escape this hell hole as she began to head out of our hideout not before checking onto her team. "Aera is everyone is position?....Aera coming in I need intel!" Aurora seemed to be having some trouble with getting some information from one of her teammates who wasn't contacting her back which could mean a lot of things.

"Commander come in! Aera has been taken down I repeat man down!" Another voice came through as Aurora paused listening to the sound of distress from one of her teammates. "I highly suggest that we take action right now commander before we lose our only chance if escaping" Aurora sighed ending the communication as she leased the way through the shadows leading people one by one through the ruins as I waited until last since I am more likely to defend myself against the enemy if I do get aimed.

It took 10 minutes for my friends to be escorted away as Ethan leaded them to the forest while Aurora stayed with me making are way through shadows but she seemed to be in some stress right now so I quickly pulled her aside.

"Are you alright? You know I'm here if you need someone to talk to right?" I wanted to be as supportive as I can while hiding in one of the very dark caved in places where the buildings have collapsed making it harder for us to be found. "Aurora—" before I could speak she suddenly hugged me again while was the second time today but this one seemed to be less of a happy type of hug meaning that she's upset about something.

"If I hadn't left you alone all of this wouldn't have happened" she said as I could feel her squeeze me tightly but I can bear it since I was the only one who can resist her strength when she's in this type of state. I wrapped my arms around her as I took out her communicator out of her ear putting it into mine ready to take over knowing that she wouldn't be able to act all serious like this.

"It wasn't your fault" I said as I felt her clench against my tripped shirt that was very much dirty and worn out but I kept it on just to keep my decency as a human looking robot. I used one of my hands to gently rub the back of her head which was probably one of the many things that could calm her down right now, no matter what I would do anything to keep her safe even if it means sacrificing myself to keep her alive.

"But why does everyone I care about die?" I could tell how much she was hurting right now and held it in for hours not wanting to reveal herself to everyone which was a brave thing to do. I sighed Hoping that Ethan was doing as Aurora told him to do or everything will go down hill.

Ethan's PoV:

We were waiting in the bushes of the forest for Aurora and Astro to come through but it has been 5 minutes since she went back for him and I was beginning to get worried since she was always there for me when Archer picked on me for being human but there was something he didn't know about which he would rightfully regret.

"We should get going now, Aurora would've wanted that" I said as I stood up beginning to head off to the last camping spot my team set up before heading to metro city well what was left of it. Cora didn't like the idea of leaving them behind but I followed my gut and wanted to keep my promise to take these people to safety for my captain even if it means leaving her behind.

"Alright let's go" Cora agreed to come along without liking behind her hoping to see both of them come around the corner but nothing was showing signs of them returning to the first unless they've taken a different route to the camp sight which is most likely for Aurora to do in a situation like this. I led the way memorising the path knowing where to go while praying that they would be alright when he arrive back home.

Astro's PoV:

Aurora eventually calmed down and emptied everything from inside but I knew that wasn't all of it but I left her alone and kept quiet as we began to head our way through the shadows again before being stopped by Aurora as she pulled be back as a boy walked past the dark caved in rubbled cave we were hiding in as if she knew him.

"Who is that?" I thought looking at him seeing his dark brown messy undercut with Quiff type of hairstyle something a Rich boy would have. His eyes were a golden brown brighter than any other person I saw in ages as he wore a leather jacket, ripped jeans with some sneakers, he seemed to have a pair of sunglasses that hung from his jeans. I could hear Aurora mumble to herself as I felt the atmosphere turn tense and aggressive in seconds as I held onto her shirt behind her not really wanting to be the thing she wants to hit right now since she can probably hit and destroy a huge door in a second if she truly wished to.

"Astro...can you hold me back?" Aurora quietly asked as I wrapped my arms around her waist preventing her from going anywhere just as she asked me to but stopped as another pair of footsteps were heard coming closer around the corner so I pulled her deeper into the darkness where we would most likely have a chance to stay hidden.

"Finally, what your latest?" I could hear Alpha's voice as he made his way behind the boy who turned around surprised catching both unexpectedly as his long black haired appearance showed the more closer he went to The boy.

"The identity of the leader is still unknown but they're on their way back to the hideout as we speak" he poke back to Alpha as he looked at the boy while Aurora was still held in my grasp not wanting her to go rushing out revealing herself still having the cloak covering her body but the hood wasn't covering her head and face yet.

"As soon as we arrive back I'll transmit you a signal, I won't let you down boss" the boy said back to Alpha before allowing him to walk off knowing that we're kinda a bit too late to move or go anywhere especially with Alpha so close to us despite just leaving. Aurora's hands instantly clenched onto my shirt showing how angry she was seeing this boy in front of her.

"I'm gonna rip him apart" Aurora mumbled into a growl as she looked at him with the intentions to kill him. "Archer, you will never live to see the light" Aurora began to mumble random words finally revealing his name to me showing that he is obviously a traitor so I came up with a plan to expose him to everyone else on the team without making him suspicious.

"Hey...I have an idea" I whispered as she instantly looked at me with the corner of her eye letting go of my shirt interested in what I have to say. "We are gonna expose him but before he transmits that's signal" I whispered as she smirked likening the sound of this which was good to see of her as Archer began to walk off in the direction of the forest showing that he was most likely to join the others in the camp. I let go of Aurora as we began to head our way out of the dark but Aurora seemed to be more fixated to go in an entirely new direction as if she wanted to find something or someone.

"I need to find Aera" she said as I could see the worry in her eyes as she quickly put the hood back over her head hiding her identity from any unwanted guests as she guided the way Archer came from most likely to see her teammates either dead or alive.

The crescent moon shines above is as our shadows followed behind us while we sneaked through the night but Aurora was the one harder to find since she was wearing a black cloak that hid her glowing clothes underneath. I however had a white shortsleeved shirt and blue trousers on which are pretty much visible to the naked eye never mind night vision. The path was crumbled as everything looked dead and quiet while we looked around but strangely no one was seen anywhere it was as if they hadn't even existed.

Aurora's PoV:

I leaded the way through the night as Astro stayed closely behind me not wanting leave my side no matter what choice I made. I had no lead to help me find Aera anywhere so I used my uv light feature to find any blood or fingerprints that someone would've tried to clean away to hide evidence since I always loves watching mysterious murder cases.

I concentrated as I looked around on every surface around it below me but no out could see the light like I could since I'm highly advanced. I stopped noticing some fingerprints but they seemed to be like if someone was dragged making me feel a bit uneasy but Astro was by my side so I felt safe.

"I think I have found a lead" I said looking at Astro deactivating my uv light as I looked back down a dark crumbled alley way eventually taking a few steps before hearing some more heading up from it seeing some figures emerge from the shadows.

"Well, well, we'll.... look what the cat dragged in" a unknown voice was heard as Astro quickly got in front of me as if he wanted to protect me from these people. He seemed to be pretty tense and on his guard not letting anything distract him.

"Oh my is that Astro and the mysterious commander?" Another one was heard as Astro began to back up pushing up into the open a highly dangerous area of I should say so myself but he seemed to know what he was doing right now. I looked in the darkness but I couldn't tell who they were or see their features.

"I wonder if she's pretty?" A female voice came through and then I knew that they were aiming at me not Astro making it perfectly clear why he was acting like this but he's always been like this has he?

The girl seemed to giggle before coming into the moon light revealing her short jet black hair and green eyes looking straight as us while the other two slowly walked behind her eventually showing themselves.

"Omega... try and keep yourself under control now, the boss wants her alive and unscathed remember" one of the boys said with short gelled jet black hair but he seemed to have blue eyes as dark as the ocean but I could tell how deadly he was by the way he turned his attention to Astro with the intention to destroy him.

"Beta... stop running the fun for your sister, he said he wants her alive but he didn't say anything about fighting her" the same long black male from before was seen looking at us with his red eyes which seemed a bit off. Astro kept his stance ready to fight while I began to register my opponents and their possible weak points with my scanner to hopefully bring Astro a huge advantage and come out victorious.

"I advise that you stay back unless you want to be torn apart" Astro said but I knew he was bluffing since only I had the intention to rip robots apart without hesitation but could Astro actually have the guts to rip them like I can or would he use his blasters to blow them up?

"Haha, you gonna be joking! You couldn't even hurt us never mind rip us apart" omega began to judge Astro's threat as I placed a hand on his shoulder as I kept myself behind him but he kept his attention onto the three robots in front of us.

"When the time is right that's when you'll strike" I whispered giving him a hint as I let go as he looked back then back at the three while one of them headed straight towards him in an instant but he managed to block his attack as if he memorised them. He dodged and landed a few punches as I backed away from the fight not wanting him to hit me and for him to go all out without worrying about hurting me.

"Omega now!" Alpha seemed to order the female to come after me as she seemed to be more of a land dweller like me but I could tell that she had the ability of flight in her grasps. She sent a few fists in my away as I used my arms and hands while using my boxing blocking technique to prevent them from hitting my face that was hidden but before I could land a attack Astro was sent flying into me causing us to collide with the parable stable houses behind me making them fall down onto us but Astro used himself as a shield protecting me from the collapsing building.

He struggled a little but managed to use his blaster to get rip of the rubble that was on top of us freeing us both as I jumped out separating myself from them while Astro used his boosters to land by my side as I grabbed my cloak and ripped it off revealing myself to them. My presence seemed to have shocked them quite a-bit but alpha seemed to be less more determined to continue and lead against some rubble as omega got even more excited to fight some more while beta stood by his sisters side ready to go against us in a 2v2 battle.

"So Wanna show me what you learned hero?" I said looked at Astro as he smiled ready to fight as he got into his fighting stance while I got into mine going into complete concentration making it impossible for anyone to sneak behind me for an attack thanks to the vibration but the fighting on the field could also bring a disadvantage for me if I don't end this quickly.

Omega began with the first punch as I quickly made my distance away from Astro as he was possibly going to fight against beta unless Alpha wanted to join in later. "Imma cut of your face and put it on mine" omega was a complete maniac as the way she swung at me was powerful especially when they landed onto my blocks but one wrong move could be all to knock me off my guard. She managed to get a hit at me in my gut which hurt like the time Astro blasted me that's to Alex which triggered me making me instantly swing at her sending her flying backwards and into Beta but they continued to go as I watched them collide with several rocks and crumbled down buildings which was actually satisfying for me.

Astro looked back at me surprised to see such a powerful hit from me before quickly coming up and take me away but we were stopped by Alpha as I could feel him aggressively pull Astro away from me as his hand grabbed my neck lifting me up despite being taller than me while I could feel him squeeze against my wind pipe as I grabbed do to his wrist with my hands struggling to breath.

"A robot that needs air? Oh you truly are just like them aren't you" he said laughing at me as his grip loosened up making me fall onto my knees seeing Astro punch him sending him a couple good feet away from us as he picked me up into his arms before taking off. I held onto him not wanting to fall since I haven't got the access to flight like him but my jumps are very powerful like my kicks and punches.

"Do worry I won't drop you" he said as he looked back before picking up speed so I looked back seeing them chase after us now allowing me to know that they can actually fly but can't they run as fast as me.

"There!" I said pointing out a moss covered cave as he landed a bit away from it to make it less likely for us to go there but he didn't put me down which confused me but I didn't complain. He managed to get us inside of the cave that was camouflaged by the moss but I had the strange skill of seeing places like that maybe it was thanks to Zak and zoey in the forest. Astor put me down as we sat and waited there together again.

"How are we gonna find them now?" Astro asked looking up at me as I sighed kneeing that I would be the one to find the way back to camp but Astro went a complete different way which would make are journey even longer to take but if he flys there maybe it could be faster for us to find them before Archer could transmit the signal.

"Well... I'm staying up late so I need you to rest and get ready for the old trip we are gonna have this week as we will have the best adventure ever but I need you to fly me to the campsite where Ethan and the others are first" I said as he gave me thumbs up before laying down with hands behind his head as I leaned against the wall staying awake knowing my ways to keep myself awake without using any herbs or medicine, it's all about concentration and thinking to make your mind feel like it is morning or that I'm just and insomniac that loves to stay awake and keep my friends safe.

"I can't believe I just left Aera I'm supposed to be a commander someone they look up to but I'm just a disappointment" I instantly began to feel bad for not finding Aera in time before they got to him showing how bad of a commander I am. As Astro slept I quietly sobbed to myself disgusted of what I have become not realising that he was listening to me talk so bad about myself and even blamed myself for Aera's death.
