[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Fumu got up bright and early before her family to resume her training. Meta Knight watched her more closely and let himself be in sight this time. She decided not to acknowledge him until she felt it was time for a break. She didn't get the chance for that as a mid-sized spacecraft felt over their heads and crashed just outside of town. It seemed as though Honey and the other were already where the ship crashed. Fumu and Meta Knight arrived just after Kirby, Bun, and Meta Knight's assistant knights but Memu and Perm's eldest was the first to walk up to the hatch.

As she reached for what looked like the door it sled open automatically and Fumu fell backwards. Meta Knight walked up behind her and went to make his way in front of her, but all were frozen in shock as Silica's limp body rolled out of the opening. "Silica!" Fumu screamed and moved over to pick the warrior's head up off the ground. "Silica! Say something!" Meta Knight and the others that knew her ran to their side as Fumu scooped her up, and ran to the doctor's office. They all looked behind her surprised by how fast she moved before they recomposed themselves to follow her.

All Fumu could do was hand her over to the doctor with his new doctor in training, and nurse before conceding to sitting in the waiting room. After a while the nurse came out and wiped some purple fluid off his hands. Meta Knight knew what the fluid was and his eyes flashed dark green and gray. "Is she going to be alright?" Fumu asked frantically. "She should be. We patched up her deeper wounds, and she's still very tired. She clearly hasn't eaten or drank anything that her species requires that she needs for survival. We sewed her back together, but she has to regain the energy to wake up." "Is there anything we can do?" Bun asked. The student doctor came out and discarded the purple splashed apron and gloves. She looked at the group then looked at the nurse. "Dr. Bours, they want to know if there's anything they can do to help," he told her. The doctor calmly shook her head with a soft smile. "No. Don't worry, everyone. We have everything covered here. She's a strong one, and she should be back on her feet in no time." Both the doctors and nurse seemed hopeful past the point of just putting on a show for their sake. Fumu was glad the community was growing outside of just 1 doctor to serve everyone nearby. "Where the doc?" Bun through in. "He's still cleaning up, and documenting things, as we should be Nurse Sole", she answered and the nurse nodded. "You all go on home now. Things will be fine", she said to the worried group. The others headed for the door, but Fumu just stood there. Meta Knight turned to her and went to her side. "Malady Fumu..." he said in a gentle tone. She looked over to him with a very hurt look on her face, but finally obeyed the doctor.

"That's so messed up. Silica was a full on mess. I hope whatever did that to someone as strong as her doesn't come this way," Bun said aloud to the group. "I thought she was dead." They all stopped walking and looked at Fumu as she stopped and put her hands over her eyes. Honey walked up behind her and pat her on the back. "Don't cry, Fumu. Dr. Bours and Nurse Sole will take good care of her. They're the best there is!" "But, wouldn't you cry if Iroo was in there?" she replied. Honey stopped as she looked at Fumu surprised. Fumu looked back down and continued walking away from them. Meta Knight continued after without concern of why the others stopped. Fumu stopped on a tree that she leaned up against before she started sobbing. Meta Knight looked at the ground with dull gray eyes at let his present remain wordless.

They stayed out for hours afterward. They didn't know how time had passed until the sun was setting. Bun had long since beat her home, and he was standing in front of their parents when she and her assigned knight walked in. They all looked at her at her with very serious expressions, and her father was the first to go to her and hug her tightly. "I'm sorry that the person you care for is hurt, Fumu," was all he had to say before she could assume what her brother told them. She hugged him back but didn't say anything to anyone, and she didn't look at Bun.
