The Sorceress
Chapter one
Deep in the outer space, a huge silver super robot zoomed through the floating ruins of the Citadel of Bone. There were five robot monkeys and one human piloting the robot. In the ruins was a pale girl with long black hair that covered her face. She looked like she had been floating there for a while.
"Who's that?" Chiro asked.
"I don't know but we should let her in, She looks ill." Gibson suggested.
Without orders, yet, the super robot grabbed the girl. The others inside were stunned but the super robot. The robot held the girl in its hands for a while and then let her in.
"Who's going to grab her?" Otto asked.
"I'll go." Chiro said.
Chiro walked to the entrance of the super robot and picked the girl up. Chiro looked at her face and his eyes widened.
"Y-you're-"Chiro exclaimed.
The girl was now on a metal table, her hair fanned out of her face. The five monkeys and the human surrounded her, discussing what to do. They were back on their home planet and she had still not woken up.
"She looks familiar…" Antauri said.
"She can't, I know her from my childhood. She used to be my friend." Chiro disagreed.
"How does-"Antauri started.
"She's waking up!" Nova interrupted.
The girl's deep blue eyes were opening slowly. Chiro ran over to look at her face. The girl smiled weakly.
"Hello, Chiro." The girl said weakly.
"What were you doing in outer space?" Chiro questioned.
"Please, Chiro, not right now." The girl winced, putting a hand to her forehead.
"She's right, kid, the girl has been in space for a while. It's bound to give her a headache." SPRX-77 or Sprx said.
The girl's eyes widened, she tried to sit up but Antauri set his hand on her shoulder keeping her down. The girl looked at Antauri, as if afraid. Antauri looked into her eyes, making the girl feel awkward.
"Give me a few minutes alone with her, for questions." He told the others, and they all left under his command.
The girl sighed "What are your questions?"
"What's your name?" Antauri asked.
"Calandra," She replied.
"Why do you look familiar?" Antauri asked.
"Do you really want to know?" Calandra asked back, her eyes looked pained.
"I have to know, I won't tell the rest." Antauri sighed.
"I'm The Sorceress, The Alchemist's little sister. He gave me the title." Calandra explained, tugging at her black dress torn at the hem and sleeves that looked like it was made of the same material as The Skeleton King's cape, hoping that was enough.
Antauri blinked "That would you're The Skeleton King's sister. That's impossible."
"It isn't impossible, I am, who I am. I don't lie. I know all five of you from when you were just built.." Calandra sighed "It would explain why I look familiar."
Antauri accepted the answer with a nod. He walked out of the room, leaving Calandra in there alone.
"At least, the super robot believes me." She muttered.
Chiro walked in with no one else. "Hey, Cal," Chiro greeted casually. Cal was a nickname Chiro gave Calandra.
"Hello, Cheer," Calandra teased him. Cheer was his nickname Calandra gave him because he was always cheerful and it fit him well.
"Do you think you can stand up?" Chiro asked.
Calandra closed her eyes and sighed "maybe." Chiro looked down at Calandra, Calandra slowly sat up.
"Yay! My strength is back!" Calandra smiled. Chiro chuckled finding it funny how enthusiastic she was.
Calandra jumped off the silver table. Chiro smiled "you seem fine . want to meet the rest of the team?"
"Sure" Calandra smiled, her deep blue eyes sparkled. She tugged at her sleeve again.
Chiro led the way out of the room where the five robot monkeys were. They were sitting in chairs in front was controls and a huge screen.
"Monkey team, this is Calandra." Chiro introduced "Cal, this is Antauri, Nova, Otto, Gibson and SPRX-77 or Sprx." Chiro pointed to each of them as he said their names.
Calandra smiled and bowed respectfully "It's nice to meet you all." The monkeys looked surprised except Antauri. Chiro scratched his head and smiled nervously. Calandra held a crystal that was on a red ribbon.
"What is that?" Gibson asked.
"This? It's crystallized fire. My older brother gave it to me before something tragic happened." Calandra replied, pulling off her necklace, showing a crystal with blue in the middle and fanned out in a fiery red at the edges.
"May I see it?" Gibson asked.
"Sure, just be careful," Calandra handed the crystal to Gibson. Gibson examined it.
Suddenly the room flashed red and an alarm went off. Chiro told Calandra to stay there, while they took care of it. They got into battle position in the super robot as whatever it was crashed down to Shugazoom. The whole thing appeared on the screen where Calandra was.
The monster was a huge formless, bigger then the super robot and on the shoulder of the formless was the on and only Skeleton King.
"Greetings Shugazoom! You have something I want, give it back." Skeleton King announced.
"What do you want, Skeleton king?" Chiro growled.
"I want my sister." The Skeleton King replied, vanishing, leaving the monster there.
"Sister?!" Chiro exclaimed, confused as was the rest of the team except Antauri.
"let's ask questions later. Right now we have a formless to deal with." Antauri said.
The formless attacked the super robot but abruptly stooped. Chiro used rocket and killed the formless easily.
"That was too easy." Chiro commented in a suspicious tone.
"Oh, Calandra, here is your crystal back." Gibos said handing her the necklace.
"Thanks." Calandra smiled. "Chiro, maybe it was because the formless senced something."
"Like what? It's not like we are holding the Skeleton King's sister." Chiro sighed.
"What if I was the Skeloton King's sister?" Caladra hinted.
Chiro laughed "That's impossible."
Calandra glared at Chiro "I'm going for a walk." Calandra grumbled.
"Okay, be carful." Chiro said confused.
"Maybe, I'll go with her." Antauri sighed.
