SPARKS FLY

Ch.1: Burning Hate
Shugazoom was a peaceful city or so everyone would think. The city was constantly threatened by the wrath of the Skeleton King and his minions. Skeleton King had once been a human simply known as the Alchemist. He was always working on specific projects, the one he was working on now had to deal with six monkeys. Their names were Sparks, Gibson, Otto, Antari, Nova, and Mandarin. He transformed them into machines so they could protect the city while he became Skeleton King.
The monkey team still protects the city, but ever since one of thier members turned evil a boy named Chiro had become thier new leader. Right now it was a time for celebration, for the Skeleton King was gone, and the threat to destroy Shugazoom seemed to be gone forever, or was it?
Sparks a.k.a. Sprx-77 did not feel like celebrating and swerved down the halls of the Super Robot like a bull with a bad attitude. The Skeleton King would always come back, he knew it was true, no matter how much they fought the Skeleton King would come back more powerful than before. Sparks was so mad it felt like he would explode.
Suddenly a yellow, robot monkey burst out behind a doorway and yelled "Boo!" scaring Sparks. Sparks stepped back a little bit, but his mood quickly changed from shock to hate. Glaring, Sparks said...
"What's the big idea!"
Nova looked at Sparks in shock, she had never seen Sparks so angry. Stammering she said "I was just trying to scare you and it worked,"
"I'm not in the mood for your games" said Sparks nearly snapping "get out of my way!"
Pushing Nova aside Sparks trudged on not bothering to look back or take back the words he said. The last fight with the Skeleton King had to be the worst before he was vaporized had to be the toughest fight any of the Hyperforce was put up againist. Sparks had joined the dark side with the Fire of Hate burning in his heart, even after the Monkey Team saved him he could still feel the power of the Fire of Hate growing larger inside him, like it would never go away.
Slamming his fist againist the wall Sparks screamed in frustration, the Fire of Hate still growing more stronger, feeding off his anger and frustration, it didn't seem like the pain would ever stop.
"Sparks...Sparks...,"
Shaking his head Sparks looked around for the source of the sound, wondering who had made it.
"Let me in...," whispered the voice.
"Who are you?" asked Sparks out loud "show yourself,"
A strange hissing wind suddenly blew by chilling Sparks down to the circut. The wind suddenly formed into a howling gale, chilling Sparks even more.
"You can not resist my power Sparks" said the voice in an eerie tone "you will let me in,"
"Never!" shouted Sparks and the wind cut off in an instant, slowly the monkey trudged on.
Gibson and Otto were working in the lab when Sparks stomped in. The two monkey's looked at thier team member in confusion as he headed for the labotory's closet. Opening the door, millions of test tubes and other supplies stared Sparks in the face, but only one thing caught his eye. In a iron jar way up on the top self was the Fire of Hate. It's burning red glow lighted made the closet look like an evil place.
Even though it was in the jar, it felt like Sparks had some connection to the fire. Antari feared that if Sparks were to go near that flame again they may not be able to save him, so he had Gibson put it away for good. Even without the Fire of Hate Sparks had managed to become angrier and angrier, the fire's evil was spreading within him and he hoped for the day he would serve the Skeleton King again.
Closing the closet Sparks left in a hurry wanting to go outside to clear his mind of his growing hate. Firing up his jet pack, Sparks flew through the skies, and all a sudden he stopped in midair clutching his stomach area. Screaming in pain, Sparks tried desperately to stay airborne, but the pain was to much and with one final jolt Sparks found himself plumetting towards the ground fast.
Back in the Super Robot, Nova and the others were discussing Sparks behavior when a red light covered the whole interior of the robot. Running to the lab, Gibson saw that the Fire of Hate was burning more brightly than ever before. Breaking out of it's iron cell the Fire of Hate disappeared only to reaapear where Sparks was falling.
Without a struggle the fire consumed Sparks and the monkey's eyes opened showing that the fire had done it's work. Sparks laughed evilly and flew away from Shugazoom City leaving the remainder of the Monkey Team to guess what had just happened to the Fire of Hate.
