It was shocking to say the very least. That the creator of the Super Robot Monkey Team was capable of such horrific deeds and his once object of success was now what he seeked to destroy. No. He wasn't the same man,
he couldn't possibly. Clayton had told them that straight from the word go. The Alchemist had made them what they are out of love.
"The Alchemist lived a simple life away from the city of Shuggazoom, content in his work. The only time he was out of the workshop was when I dragged him out, he was a bit of a geek if i'm honest but a great friend none the less.."
They all sat Chiro's bedroom either on the bed or on cushions listening to Clayton Carrington as he told them of their past lives. The old man hadn't been around long but Chiro was more than facinated to know about where the monkey team had come from and the person the Skeleton King was before he was engulfed by evil. Otto sat under the covers next to the young boy who was sat up also, Antauri hovering a short space away. Gibson had taken seating at the bottom of the bed with a finger on chin, listening intently while Sprx sat silently next to him. Nova on the other hand was sprawled along the width of the bed with her head hanging off the side along side the old man.
"To be honest he had never even thought about a team before you guys came along. It was his daughter that started the whole thing you know..." he started as he drifted into another sentance before he even realised that all six heads shot up in shock, all eyes filled with seriousness "HE HAD A DAUGHTER?" the unbearable tone that they all chimed in was enough to make his hearing aid buzz disdainfully. Clayton regained his composture with a slightly saddened look on his face, "She was..."
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
The red lights illuminated the room as they turned their attention to the noise. "We're under attack! everyone to their stations!" Antauri was first to move all heading to their designated positions to fight off the foe in question to find it was not an attack but an alarm of failure as the gravitational pull was too strong. They headed straight in to a vortex that covered a wide range of area in which they could not escape...
BANG CLANK THUD
The Super Robot was trashed. Seriously. Whatever had happpened crushed it and the stench of burning was itching at the teams' noses as they all pushed their aching bodies from the ground some of them holding heads in pain.
Otto's jaw dropped in horror at the sight of his baby in ruins with a tear in the corner of his eye, Sprx's hand lay on his shoulder in sympathy as he turned to the others "Is everyone ok?" the child like voice filled in concern earned attention, "looks like everyone's here, just a few cuts nd bruises but we've had worse", Nova replied surveying the area closely with a concerned Anaturi and Gibson doing the same.
The wildlife was thriving with vivid colurs and exotic plants, monstourous exotic plants. A wrong move could be fatal but the place was hypnotic in it's sense of beauty that would make any normal man or monkey stop in awe but what with being an evil fighting team, they couldn't help but be cautious. well...apart from Otto.
"Hey! whats that? looks so coooooool" the green simian crouched to a small plant finger at the ready for investigation by poking...
SNAP
A very petrified monkey was on the floor shaking with his breathless blue brother next to him heaving in air as the Giant Venus Fly Trap hovered above them to shrink back into the other various shrubbery to wait until it's pray dos come.
"Don't. Touch. Anything." the distinct british accent was serious with a facial expression to match in which the naive engineer just shrugged and displayed a goofy smile onto his face. The others stood in shock and disbelief as the plant retracted itself. "Come On, we need to find help...if we make our way through as a group we should find some sort of help" The grey haired man took charge as he moved on forward with the rest of the team at his heel. "It feels so familiar here..." Clayton started talking to himself thus striking up a concern in Antauri. The monkey couldn't put his finger on it but it was like he too had been to this place before.
"Come on 'Tauri! If It seems familiar it shouldn't be bad right?" Chiro as always optomistic as the whirs of Otto's saws cut a path without having anger the wildlife.
They walked for hours it seemed... in circles? not likely, unless the paths had been re-growing after them...but then again it would explain that weird feeling of entrapment Nova was experiencing but at least it wasn't ice Ha!
the shrubbery cleared to which Clayton stopped in disbelief, rubbing his eyes so hard it mad them bloodshoot and red. When the others realised the sight all jaws simultaniously dropped.
The Alchemist's Lab. In all it's glory, smoke puffing from the roof and the whirring of mechanisms. It was in working condition again. But how? the place was abandoned last it was seen, the Skeleton King wouldn't surely be here...
it made no sense...
"It looks like how I last saw it..."
So? What do you think? I haven't done a story in ages! please review and i would largely appreciate any suggestions to the story line :D
