"Guys, you won't believe this incredible dream I just had! YOU were there, and YOU were there, and YOU..."

Chris propped himself up on his elbows and managed a weak smile as he quipped. Nathaniel helped the dazed youth to his feet as he turned to the glowing energy being before them.

"Nice talking to you...any longer and I'd be comatose I think!"

"Chris? You okay man? If this....if the Bolt hurt you..."

"Not on purpose Grey-man, that's one thing I'm sure of. I actually feel pretty good, better than I have since we got to this wacky place! Don't ask me to explain; I don't understand it myself...

Mercado! You're okay! Your armor seems to be working and there's something different about you...hey, where's your brother? How long was I out for anyway?"

"Long enough. Brother where always he has been. Mercado is whole. Full story much longer still, but somehow I think time is of the essence, now more than ever. Do you trust the Bolt before we proceed? Surprises are something we can't afford...

Chris struggled to catch his breath before he answered. Despite the invigoration he had felt upon awakening, he found the effort of getting to his feet so soon and talking so energetically had sapped him once more. Equally, he noticed Mercado had actually used a personal pronoun and not spoken in the third person at one point. Chris felt dizzy, overwhelmed once more, and his knees buckled.

Mercado and Nathaniel moved quickly, each supporting an arm across their shoulders. Behind them, the Bolt hovered, betraying no emotion, no reaction.

"Thanks...phew...sorry about that. Maybe I do need more time...

As for the Bolt...I can't tell you everything I glimpsed when we came in contact, but I trust him with my life. Beyond that, i can't say...

Suddenly I feel cold...maybe we can get inside there?"

Nathaniel shot a concerned look toward Mercado's crimson visor. With Chris slumped between them, and the Bolt following behind, they made their way inside to join Biggs...
