Hitobito was running through the base, heading to her room to see Blue again. She could see that most of the monkeys were looking at her confused, probably because she was the only human in the entire base and she was running through it like Sonic the Hedgehog, though they probably had no idea who he was.

As she was getting closer to the room, she started to notice odd things like monkeys who seemed to be dizzy or confused. When she turned down the hallway that her room was in, she noticed some monkey minions on the ground that seemed to be sleeping. She slowed to a walk and stepped over several monkeys, including White. She knew something was wrong, she didn't even think White could sleep lying down; he'd always be in his hovering vehicle. She hopped over the other monkeys and was bumped into by a tattered looking Pink.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Hitobito asked anxiously, and the metal collar translated. Pink looked at her in confusion for a moment, looking at the collar, but shook her head and put one of her hands up to her forehead. "Blue is what happened," She said angrily, "After Specter left, he just got up and started to fight everyone off. I knew it was a bad idea that he didn't go. He respects Specter, but I guess sitting here doing nothing was too much. Specter should have known how hard it is for him to stay still, and with all that anxiety, we should have seen this coming." Hitobito looked inside the room and saw Yellow was unconscious, Red was holding his head and trying to stand up straight, and several monkeys were wondering around the room as confused as the others. "Red took a hard hit, but as hard headed as he is, it wasn't too bad. Yellow took a hit too, but he's not injured, just knocked out. Same with White, but look at me!" Pink cried out, now just realizing how tattered she really looked, "This was one of my favorite dresses! And I think that I might have bruises! When I get my hands on Blue, I'll kill him! I swear I will!" Pink stormed off, trying to fight off tears; she really couldn't stand not looking perfect all the time.

"WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU DO!?" Specter burst into the room looking straight at Hitobito, not in anger, but in shock. Hitobito put her hands up defensively and tried to calm him down. "It wasn't me, honest! Pink said Blue ran off after you left or something," she pointed into the room and Specter looked to see a still stumbling Red, "You didn't honestly think I could do all this? Especially to Red!" Hitobito looked at Specter with pleading eyes, hoping he wouldn't change his mind just after he had just opened up and was considerably nice to her. He sighed and closed his eyes. "It's fine, it's fine," He muttered, seeming to be more to calm himself down than her, "It's going to be fine, I'll just go out and find him, bring him back and yell at him or something." Specter began to pace back and forth, scratching his head and then looked over at Hitobito, "The only problem is, I don't know where he is. I didn't tell him were I was going and I don't know what mode of transportation he took. We're on an island, so it'd either be by water or air." They both thought about it and the answer was obvious, it had to be by air because neither thought Blue could stand how slow a boat would take to get around. "Alright, I'm going to call all of my minions and see which airplane he took, find out which way he went and you just stay here until I get back, got it? And by that, I mean, DON"T MOVE." Specter snarled; it was pretty clear he did not want another Blue incident happening.

Deciding it was probably best for her to stay where she was, she began to tend to the injured and unconscious monkeys. Fortunately, none of the injuries were serious and most of them walked away, though some had the limp. Red finally shook off the dizzy feeling and was in a fighting mood after that, Yellow woke up and began to 'help' Hitobito by picking up the cutest monkeys and cuddling them until they woke up in a panic. White woke up some time later, looked around and walked off before anyone realized that he had left.

After all the time that had passed, she still had not heard from Specter or anyone else about Blue. She was beginning to feel literally ill with worry; getting a headache and a stomachache. All the injured monkeys were taken care of by now, and she wanted to lie down and rest so badly, but she fought off the urge. She had to go find where Blue was or she'd never feel better, no matter how much she rested.

She decided to take her chances and go help and find Blue, as she ran out the door she slammed into something, causing her to fall back on the ground with a lot of force. "Nnnh…" she opened her eyes to see what she hit and was surprised to see Specter, who was on the ground and holding hit head while grunting curses. Hitobito sat up and composed herself while Specter finally realized what happened and groaned as loud as he could. "That hurt!" he growled at her, "I thought I told you to stay here! If you just followed orders, I wouldn't be on the ground with a migraine!" "Did you find Blue?" the human asked as she got up and offered to help Specter get on his feet. "Oh, sure, yeah" Specter said sarcastically, smacking her hand away from him, "I found the monkey that is so desperate to find you and he isn't here because he thought of something more important to due after mangling half the monkeys on the base!" Hitobito ignored his sarcasm and let Specter get up and brush himself off. "I have no idea where he is," Specter snorted at her, "I figure that me might be headed towards the Professor's lab though, seeing as that's where I just brought you back from. I hope not, though. He could easily be captured and it also risks the rest of us getting caught too. We'll have to go and check the lab, but we can't be seen so we have to make sure we stay hidden and quiet." Hitobito nodded in response, her heart racing in fear that something might happen to Blue before she can get to him on time. She was happy that Specter was going to bring her along too, so that she wouldn't have to feel trapped in the room, not knowing what to do or what was going on in the outside world. "Okay, we'll ride out there until we're close enough to see the lab, then we'll have to go on foot. I can't risk them waking up if we can get there before Blue does," Specter motioned for her to follow.

Blue was outside of the Professor's lab, he could smell her scent and was in the process of circling the outside of the lab as quietly as possible, even though he wasn't as graceful as he used to be. He was bruised and worn looking, a bit thinner and weaker than usual, but he didn't care at the moment, he was trying to figure out what to do. Could she be inside the lab or the house part of the building, maybe in the monkey containment area? He had to choose carefully, fore if he broke in the wrong area first, he was sure he'd be caught before he could find her. It killed him that he couldn't pin point her exact location, had he already started forgetting what she smelled like? He took a deep breath and sighed as he peeked around a corner to see if it was safe.

Blue heard a twig snap and turn around to see where it came from. There was moving in some bushes and whispers. Blue could feel his fur start to stand and growled low in his throat, although it was almost inaudible. He must have been discovered; he couldn't let anyone stop him before he found Hitobito, he wouldn't allow it. He sprinted to the bush and grabbed something, someone, and wrestled them into submission before realizing there was someone else in the bushes with them. He looked up and saw Specter, with a surprised look on his face and his fur stuck out so much he resembled a ball of fluff. Blue looked down and saw Hitobito. He jumped off her and picked her up into his arms, "I found you! Oh, I'm so happy!" Hitobito was semiconscious through this as she had the wind knocked out of her. Blue continued to hug and hold her lovingly, wanting to never let her go or out of his sight ever again. "I thought I had lost you," he whimpered and squeezed her tighter, "I thought I'd never see you again." Specter shushed Blue angrily and tried to get him moving away from the lab towards the base.

Hitobito finally got a good look at Blue and frowned. "What happened to you Blue? You seem so different," she looked up at him, worried, "You look sick." Blue chuckled and shook his head, "I'm fine, really. I just missed you. Now that you're here, I'll be better. I'll look like my old self again, I promise… Wait, you can understand me without speaking English? And you're speaking it too!" Hitobito laughed at the dumbfounded look on Blue's face as he stared at her in shock, "It's this collar Specter made for me, Iit translates everything for me. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I'm sure Specter can tell us later." "A collar huh?" Blue looked at it curiously, inspecting it and viewed it from all angles on Hitobito's neck, "It looks nice on you for a collar. But… why were you two in the bushes alone?" Blue looked at Specter and his facial features showed a mix of jealousy and anger. Specter rolled his eyes, "You've got to be kidding me, Blue…Let's go!" he ordered in a whisper. Hitobito attempted to get down from Blue's grasp, but he was intent on carrying her from now on, nuzzling her cheek with his, grinning. "Aw, how sweet," Specter didn't hide the fact that he gagged. Blue knew they weren't up to anything, but he was a bit jealous he hadn't had alone time with Hitobito in a long time and looked forward to getting back to the base as fast as possible so that they could make up for lost time and that he could make sure the love of his life was safe.

They turned and headed towards their ride home when a blinding light came from one of the spotlights on the lab. It was almost impossible to see, the sheer brightness of it immediately gave them headaches and disoriented them. They all winced and tried to get a hold of their surroundings again, trying to make sure no one was going to sneak up on them. Blue squeezed Hitobito close to his chest; he wasn't going to let anyone take her away from him again, no matter what the cost.

"We're going to have to run for it," Specter muttered to Blue. "We can't even see where we're going, I can barely see where we are right now!" Blue growled, feeling helpless and scared of what might happen. "Just stay close to me and keep Hitobito with you and we'll be fine, okay? Maybe it was just movement that set it off and they aren't up yet," Specter tried to keep calm and reasonable.

"I'm sure you'd love it if that were only true."
