Note: in this chapter you'll fine out what's going on with Astral

Alternate Astral: "Can you guys please keep it down."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Sorry Astral."

Real Yuma: "What's wrong with Astral Number 96?

Alternate Dark Mist: "I'll explain downstairs so Astral can have some pace and quit to sleep, if that's ok?"

Real Yuma: "Sure no problem Dark Mist."

The real Yuma, Astral and the alternate Dark Mist do downstairs to talk.

Real Yuma: "What's wrong with Astral?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral has a mental condition known as a Mental Stasis."

Real Yuma: "What's that Number 96?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "A mental stasis is when Astral's mind is completely shut down. The mental stasis creates a barrier to keep others out, and Astral safe from harm."

Real Yuma: "But that doesn't explain why Astral is still sleeping."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Oh but it does Yuma."

Real Yuma: "It does?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Yes, it does. You see, the mental stasis comes with some other symptoms like energy blocks and full and partial off-balances."

Real Yuma: "Can you explain what they are Number 96?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Of course Yuma."

Real Astral: "First start off with an energy block, if you don't mind."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral's mental stasis is controlled by energy level. We don't know why, but sometimes Astral's energy level gets stuck and Astral can't bring it to down or up to a stable level. Thus an energy block happens, and if it's not taken care of Astral will pass out. Well first he'll get a headache, and then pass out."

Real Yuma: "Ok?" (said somewhat confused)

Real Astral: "Next, can you please explain what an full off-balance is?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Certainly Astral, a full off-balance is when Astral's mind isn't as active as it should be. The only way for Astral's body to correct the problem is by sleeping. And might I add, Astral is going though a full off-balance right now as we speak."

Real Yuma: "If a full off-balance makes Astral sleep, I wonder what the partial off-balance does?"

Dark Mist gets a worried look on his face, when Yuma wonders about what the partial off-balance dose.

Real Yuma: "Something wrong Number 96?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "No, but I'm kind of hesitant to tell you what the partial off-balance dose to Astral."

Real Astral: "And why is that Number 96?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "You see, when a partial off-balance happens... Astral really doesn't act like himself."

Real Yuma: "What do you mean doesn't act like himself?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral becomes... violent."

Real Yuma: "Violent how?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Hitting, kicking, pushing, anything that would hurt you."

Real Astral: "Why would he act like that?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "A partial off-balance is when Astral's mind becomes over stimulated, or over active. This usually only happens when we are both separated from each other. There are only two ways to solve this problem. One, is by keeping him with me until he clams down and reverts back to normal."

Real Astral: "And two?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Two, we place a purple stone know as Vibranium near him."

(A/N: Vibranium for Valkyrian is a purple rock, and not metal. Sorry for any confusion readers)

Real Yuma: "How will a purple stone help Astral?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Simple Yuma, Vibraniumm changes Astral's brian chemistry back to normal. But Astral isn't allowed to be near Vibraniumm very long?"

Real Yuma: "And why is that?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Vibranium can cause Astral's mental stasis to become permanently active, but that will only happen if he's exposed to it for to long."

Real Astral: "How will you know if the Vibranium worked?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "When he asking you what you're doing."

Real Yuma: "Why would say that?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Vibranium messes with Astral's energy level, and that causes Astral to have a terrible headache. The closer he gets to the Vibranium, the worse the headache will become. Plus, Astral won't remember anything that happened when the partial off-balance occurred anyway."

Real Yuma: "Do you know why Astral doesn't remember anything that happened?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "No, not even our friend GG (Ginyugoku) knows why."

?: "Having fun down there, Kkey?"

Everyone looks to the direction of the voice.

Alternate Dark Mist: "Corrupt?"

Corrupt smirks in response to Dark Mist.

Alternate Dark Mist: "How are you in control of Astral again?"

Corrupt: "I took control when he was out cold."

Alternate Dark Mist: "What do you mean out cold?"

Corrupt: "Astral isn't just asleep physically, but mentally as well."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Oh, I see. Does Astral even know you took control again?"

Corrupt: "No, probably not."

Real Astral: "What dose he mean by that?"

Corrupt: "You're going to have to be a little more specific."

Real Astral: "What did you mean when you said mentally as well?"

Corrupt looked at Dark Mist, not understanding the question.

Alternate Dark Mist: "You see Astral, there are three stages of consciousness. The first stage is being physically conscious, so you would be fully awake. The second stage is being semi-conscious, which means you would be physically asleep, but awake mentally. The third and final stage is being completely unconscious, that means your mind and body aren't active at all."

Real Yuma: "Wouldn't that mean Astral's dead?"

Corrupt: "No, not necessarily. Astral would be in a comatose like state."

Real Yuma: "Will Astral ever wake up?" (said with slight concern)

Corrupt: " He'll wake eventually, I couldn't get that lucky."

That's chapter 16, please review. There are no think about question for chapter 16. Bye! See you next time!
