"I hate you...!"
Everyone on
the Super Robot stopped; their eyes wide with surprise. Even the
Robot itself seemed to have a heart attack. Jin-May stormed out of
Chiro's room, a major storm warning to all in her path. Cyclone was
the new edition to the team; his body consisted of a mass of nanobots
that he could shape and control at will. Even he knew that his new
job had a pension, something he didn't want to waste on a furious
Jin-May. He sidled past her as she stormed on through the robot,
seemingly looking for something to kick. He shook his head in
confusion, what was wrong with her?
"Shut up..."
"No
really, I'm just asking..."
"I said...shut it."
He
shrugged; girls were confusing in his mind. He moved towards Chiro's
room, Nova and Sparks were outside
"What's happened?"
"Kid
and Jin-May fell out..."
"ACTIVATE SIRENS! BREAK-UP ALERT!"
joked Cyclone; stiffening in a robotic stance
He and Sparks fell
over laughing, causing Nova to smash them over both their heads with
her gauntlets...
"It's not funny! This could disband the
team!"
"What, for a couple of hours? Lighten
up!"
"Umm..."
They turned to look at Otto, the
mechanic
"I dunno if this is important but Jin-May said
something about leaving the Hyper Force..."
"Did she say where
she was going?"
"Just a journey across the Plain..."
Cyclone
sighed; it was always his job to fix broken things. He was good at
experimenting with various things, whether it was tactics in battle
or his next win over Gibson at chess. He never did tell Gibson that
he could see alternate futures through the mask he always wore, he
would let him figure that out by himself
"I'll talk her back
in..."
"You'd better do a good job; she sounded pretty
pissed when she spoke to me..."
"Whatever..."
He stood on
the Robot's shoulder and scanned the area, before gliding over the
city of Suggazoom. He could never work out how he got here, or what
his past was before this city. He pondered for a while until he
splatted against a building, slid down the side comically and
ironically fell on top of the very person he was looking for.
"Found
you!" he grinned
"Get off!"
Cyclone stuck out his tongue
as his head detached from his body, hovering slightly in front of her
face
"Don't push your luck..."
"Sorry, no luck to
push, you know that I..."
She managed to flip him off, and
jetted through the streets
"Oh no you don't!"
He sped
after her, his feet moulded into rollerblades with spiked wheels, his
back formed into an engine which gave him tremendous speed.
He
leaped over a gap and soon caught up with her
"What? You think
this is fast?!"
He went into high-gear, the speed when
the world slows down, and paid the price
"What the...?"
There
was a massive explosion; the burning Cyclone tumbled violently
through the air, until he smashed through a barrier and into the
sea...
"CYCLONE!"
Jin-May screamed as she dived after him,
the millions of nanobots slowly shutting down as Cyclone sank to the
bottom of the ocean. He had hit the water too fast, and Jin-May was
running out of air.
She surfaced, gasping for
air...
"Jin-May!"
Chiro dived in and dragged her out, the
Hyper-force found them on the edge of a bridge.
"What
happened?"
Jin-May couldn't talk, tears rolled down her
face...
"...Cyclone..."
