Chapter 238: Coming Home

"Uh, Hyde are you sure about this? This guy is a little bit, don't you think?" Kyra asked from inside.

"Nope, I am not sure at all, so strap in and hold on. Eva engages extra seat belts and makes sure to strap the food down. I am pretty sure I will have worked up quite the appetite if we survive this!" I said laughing.

"Hyde!" Krya yelled at me.

"Babe, call down I got this, I think, but he is pretty big, eh?" I said as I got ready to...something.

The walking forest looked down at me with big glowing eyes. Three times was that much bigger, but this one had a bit more...girth to him. 

The fist came down, and I jumped to the side, turning and my front door kicked the wrist. I planted and stretched out the power web to brace me, but the impact from the Almighty Push cratered me into the foundation a half a meter. 

The kick sent the heavy arm swinging, knocking the giant off balance, making him lean down clothes to me. I built up more power quickly and then released, trying to shoot up, but I was smoked out of the air by a massive right hook that body punched and sent me flying.

"Everyone holds on, I will try to stop," But that was as far as I got before crashing into the curtain. 

The fall wasn't that bad, it never is. It was the smashing into the invisible wall and complete lack of snow where I landed. I must have got punched like a half a click, like what the fuck? What were they feeding that thing? And I went and woke it up, wow, first class.

"Are you all okay?" I called out.

"Yes, the amount of safety restraints Eva put on me is boarding bondage," Kyra said with a laugh.

I had to look; my ass was busted and broken, but when I looked inside and Seen Kyra safe, and… why was she posed like that? Never mind I could feel footsteps getting closer to me.

'Just hold on, I need to finish repairing you first, you have time. I don't think he is coming over here, he is just walking around. I think you need to back out of this one for right now. You are banged up pretty bad so this would be a good time to go inside and rest. I will monitor the giant.' -Eva.

I guess I didn't really have that much choice at this point. Ass-whooped again, man I didn't even see that fist coming! That guy was on a whole different level than me, but I wasn't sure if that was a reason to give up.

I concentrated, focusing on the chamber that Kyra was in. I slowly emerged from a wall just behind her, but she heard me and turned.

"I have to let Eva repair the mech, but I don't get how we are still standing straight?" I said with a weak smile.

"Oh baby, don't worry, Eva will get you fixed up, and we will figure out something. As for why this place is the way it is, I have no idea, but I don't think we are actually inside of it much anymore," Kyra said, coming over into my open arms.

"Really? What do you mean not inside of the mech? Where are we then?" I asked with curiosity.

This place didn't look the same, but there was still metal showing on this side of the chamber. On the other side, there were painted walls and dark chocolate hardwood flooring. This was weird because I couldn't see any of this from outside when I was piloting. 

"Show me," I said after kissing her.

Kyra took me by the hand and led me through the door, but I stopped her. This was way too fucking weird, and there was no way this was the place. 

I ran past her, they wouldn't be here, but I could see outside into my front yard. I took the curved staircase down two at a time and burst to the Chocolate door that matched the floors. 

I ran outside and the sunburned onto my skin, there was only a big patch that my dad kept in good shape. The rest was clay and dirt, and everything looked like rust. 

How the fuck was I in my home that I, that Dave and I grew up in? It was like I had stepped into another world, or like I had come home, but no one was here.

I wasn't sure how I felt about this, but for the first time in longer than I could remember, I missed my family. My real family, even disconnected as we were, but Dave was still her somewhere fighting so that we could all enjoy forever together if we could only get there.

I had faith that my brother would catch up and we would meet in the final world to finally end this all. That wasn't yet, so I would just have to take respite in knowing that this was my home and it was a place I could actually relax.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I stood up and turned to Kyra. She looked worried, but relaxed when she saw my smile. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head. 

I had a big family now, and I was making my own mini's now to torment me just like I did my parents. They will all watch out for each other, they are my kids and will all learn that the people that are the closest to you are your family. The ones to cherish and protect.

"Let's go inside and eat, I am starting! Turns out winning or losing, you still work up and appetite!" I said laughing.

"Why did you run out here? Do you know this place?" Kyra asked as we walked back into the house.

"This is my house where I grew up," I said with a smile.

"Does that mean we can do dirty things in your parent's room?"

"Uh… sure…" 

Better than my room.
