Based on The Bronze Giant Part 2

Tears

"I should've stopped her from coming in here!" stated Mighty Ray, removing yet another large piece of stone that had once been used as the roof of the military base, formerly known as Big Green. He continued while clearing away more scraps of the building, trying his hardest to clear out the rubble in hopes of pulling the members out alive.

"She did what she thought she had to. You could not have stopped her Mighty Ray." responded Lin Chung, also helping with the process of removing the debris away.

Of course he couldn't, but he still blamed himself. It was his fault. He was supposed to cover her, a good job he did. He should have been right next to her, maybe that way, he could have stopped her from even entering Big Green. It was all his fault, he could only pray that she was still alive, if she wasn't...he would never forgive himself.

Finally only a huge plate of flat rock was left, with a grunt, Mighty Ray hastily threw it over towards his left as it sounded with a huge thud. He glanced down the large hole that had been revealed when he removed the enormous boulder like rock.

Something's dug this. Mighty Ray thought to himself, staring down into nothing but blackness. He could feel his feeling of hope begin to grow stronger than before. She could still be alive! He knitted his eyebrows together and vaulted from his spot next to the ledge, quickly being engulfed by the darkness. "Come on!" He hollered as the rest were quick to follow behind.

The boy landed roughly, a sharp stinging sensation surging from his wrist to all through his body. He gritted his teeth, containing any yelps or shouts of pain. He didn't have time to worry about some injury, it was probably nothing anyway. He was quick to his feet as he sprinted on-wards to wherever the tunnel was leading them to.

There were many turns that seemed to go on forever, seeming as if they were getting nowhere until light could be seen from a distance away.

His legs and feet were burning, aching for him to stop since the four of them had been running for so long. But he couldn't stop, he couldn't. Not until he saw her, safe. Alive.

The light now surrounded them as it ascended from the path to what seemed like above ground. He could climb up there with no problem, with another spring, he jumped from the sides of the tunnel until reaching a spot to where he could grab onto a thick root, allowing his other teammates to continue up ahead of him. When -Hands passed him, he used the heel of his foot to flip out from his place to the ground above.

Where is she...?! Thought Mighty Ray, his breathing still audible as he tried to regain his normal pulse. He scanned the trees, seeing not a soul except for his teammates. No...where is she?!

"Lin Chung? Jumpy? Mighty Ray?" A feminine voice spoke from somewhere around them.

A moment later, a familiar figure stepped out from behind a tall tree. "It is you guys!" She added happily a huge smile on her face. "Boy am I glad to see you!"

Mighty Ray felt his chest begin to tighten, almost to where it hurt. She was alive, not hurt either! He didn't even notice his feet already moving to where he was in a full on run. The next thing he knew, his arms were wrapped tightly around her.

"M-Mighty Ray?" Sonia asked, bewildered by his actions.

"You idiot!" He shot back angrily. "I was so worried about you!"

Sonia was baffled as to why he was so upset, and not to mention hugging him. He'd always complain about touching her. Let alone hug her this tightly. "Mighty Ray...hey are you oka-" She began but stopped as he pulled his head back far enough to see his face.

Large lines streaked his face, a sign that he was crying, his eyes were making soft crackling noises from were the water based liquid were touching the magical electrical eyeballs that he had in replace for his old one that had been turned to stone.

He hastily wiped them with his arm, only to be replaced by new ones. "Well I am now..." He whispered softly, wrapping his arms around her again, more tightly this time. His chest felt as if it would come beating right out of his chest from how close he was to her, but it didn't matter. He was crying, something he's never done in a very long time, but all of it didn't seem to be of concern.

She was safe, and alive.

"I'd never though I'd say this...but." He started, pulling away from her, his cheeks burning. "Glad to see ya."

I hope this makes up for the tardiness, people seem to really like this story! I'm really glad!

Drop some suggestions! Who knows? I may be able to write it. Nothing sexual though. :D Toodles! ~Sakura
