Me: What's up readers of this website?! Your girl, Mimi here. This is my kind of sequal to this really upsetting story I read a while ago called, "Betrayal of the Worst Kind". (It got me so mad at Sprx, I wanted to punch him in the place I'm not allowed to mention here!) Anyway, Nova is all upset, and decides to recontinue her training with Master Offay on Galaxia, and just so happens to meet another monkey...
Don't take this the wrong way! I LOVE Spova, but after reading that story, Sprx deserves it. Special Guest, Chiro!
Chiro: Why am I here?
Me: Because I said so... read on!!

Me: Okay, I made this a WHOLE LOT BETTER, and I'm hoping to do so with the rest of the chapters. I get a lot of inspiration for this story when I listen to Bella's Lullaby, which can be found on my profile. So, read on, please!
PS: A few good song to listen to while reading this would be these: The Climb by Miley (BLECH! EWW! NASTY!) Cyrus, Without You by Rosiaro Dawson and Adam Pascal, or Take a Bow by Rihanna... This is only to help the cause of the drama. It has nothing to do with crying or anything like that...)
The entire team sat quietly in the command room, each in their own seats. Except for Jinmay... she was in Nova's chair... or... her former chair. Nova had resigned from the team; something she'd thought she'd never have to do. But Sprx cheated on her with some girl he didn't even know. When she left him, she felt weaker than ever; her knees felt like they were going to give out, her arms left like dough connected to her body, and all she could do was cry. She didn't like feeling weak. She was always at her strongest when she was with Sprx... but she couldn't even think about him without curling into a ball.
Nova needed to find another source of strength; one that couldn't hurt her... So she told the team she was headed to Galaxia once again, to train with Master Offay and find her strength again... And... maybe... just maybe... return to the team once more...
Sprx rubbed his temples, feeling guilt, pain, and frustration seep into his mind like water.
Gibson stood up after a period of silence and stomped to the crimson monkey, lifted him by the collar and shook him slightly with his one, painful word that peirced Sprx's heart. "Why?"
Antauri looked up with an emotionless stare and lifted his hand to a halt sign. "Gibson, please—"
"WHAT, ANTAURI?!" Gibson yelled, fuming with anger. "HOW CAN YOU BE YOUR ZEN, CALM, COOL ATTITUDE?! NOVA IS LEAVING US!" He yelled, putting emphisis on 'leaving'. "We lost a valuble part of our team thanks to... to..."
Sprx gripped Gibson's hands and pulled them off roughly. "Go on, Brainiac! Say it! Call me a dunce! A goof! I DON'T CARE, ANYMORE!" Sprx gave him a slight shove. "You ALWAYS have something smart to say! You ALWAYS think you're the smartest! Guess what?! Other members of this team have some brains, too!"
"You're one to talk, lame-brain!" Otto stood with an angered face like Gibson and Sprx. "YOU'RE the one who cheated on Nova! Why are YOU talking about brains when YOU'RE the one who made the dumbest move in the galaxy!"
"THAT WASN'T MY FAULT, YOU GREASE-MONKEY!" Sprx yelled back, his blood bursting with hate. "AND WHY SHOULD ANYONE ON THIS TEAM LISTEN TO SOMEONE WHO'S SCARED OF CLAMS WITH FEET?! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A TWO-BIT, USELESS, MACHINE-OBSESSED, FREAK!"
Jinmay intervined between the three before they were going to explode. "Guys! Yelling won't help! Let's just—"
"SHUT UP, ROBOT-GIRL!" Sprx yelled without thought, making her gasp. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, ANYWAYS?! JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE TEAM, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BOSS US AROUND!"
Chiro stood up and grabbed Sprx by the wrist, grasping it as hard as he could. Now he was mad... "DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO JINMAY IN THAT TONE, YOU UNGRATEFUL SLAB OF SWINE!" Chiro narrowed his eyes to a glass pair of eyes that looked as if they would jump out and eat someone. "ONE LAST CRACK LIKE THAT, AND YOU'RE OFF OF THIS TEAM!"
Sprx rolled his eyes. "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO RUN A TEAM! YOU'RE ONLY FOURTEEN! BUT, NOOOO!! WE NEED TO TAKE ORDERS FROM A KID WHO HAS BARELY ANY CONTROL OVER THE POWER PRIMATE!"
"WHY YOU..." Chiro began to charge towards Sprx, but he was held back by his scarf. They peered behind Chiro to see a sad pair of bubble-gum pink eyes looking towards all of them. It was Nova, holding a dirty yellow breif case and clenching her fists.
"P-please... Not now, Chiro..." She spoke silently, trying to make her lips move. "Do you think this is how I want to remember me leaving the best times of my life?"
Antauri sat up and moved towards Nova, who turned away with hot tears in her eyes. "If you charish your memories with us... Why are you leaving it all behind?"
He tried to move his hand to her shoulder, but she gently pushed it away. "Nothing lasts forever, Antauri..."
"Nova..." He said softly. "It is your choice to leave... You write your destiny with your own hands... We will miss you..." (Okay, I know I'm breaking the whole dramatic thing with this, but that last 'destiny' quote was from 'Forbidden Kingdom'.)
She whimpered and pulled him into a fierce hug, choking down her tears. Antauri tried to stay calm, but his watery eyes gave it away that he was trying too hard. He was going to miss Nova, just as much as anyone else on the remains of the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce...
"I'll miss you, Antauri." She said as Antauri walked away, letting Otto go to her next.
She'd miss his happy-go-lucky attitude, his ignorance, and his talents with machines and the circus. He always kept he entertained, and she'd long for it each day she was away.
"Otto—" she tried to say with a warm smile, but was pushed back by Otto's forceful hug.
"YOU CAN'T LEAVE, NOVA! WHO'S GOING TO HELP ME COOK?! WHO'S GOING TO KEEP SPRX AND GIBSON FROM FIGHTING?! WHO'S GOING TO TAKE YOUR PLACE AS THIRD IN COMMAND?! WHO'S—"
"OTTO!" She yelled loudly, holding him back by his quaking shoulders. "C'mon, pal. I need you to be the muscle of the team from now on... Be strong for me?" She asked, putting something heavy in his hand.
Otto looked down to his paw, seeing a yellow painted wooden mallet that she used to make her best dish: mashed potatoes. He quivered his lips and hugged her again, this time slow enough for her to hug back. Gibson was next to say his goodbye, rubbing his arm and looking to the floor.
She would miss his big brain, always useful and even sometimes annoying. But he had smarts. Smarts she'd never find in anyone else but Gibson.
The blue monkey cleared his throat and took out his hand for an elegant handshake. "Well, Nova. I hope you do well on your own out there. It's a tough galaxy, filled with monsters, theives, bacteria—"
"Shut up, wise-guy, and give me a hug." Nova said smugly but sadly. Gibson did not hesitate; he hugged her the tightest so far, his eyes still somewhat red from secretly weeping to himself. They let go, but still holding each other's arms, and trying to grin. "Promise not to blow anything up without taping it for me?"
"I wouldn't even think of it..." He said, getting a chuckle out of it and hugging her again.
Next was Jinmay; sweet, innocent, darling, machine-bound, Jinmay. Nova knew she would miss her perky, sun-shiney attitude... even on Mondays... They had a special sister-sister bond
Nova looked into Jinmay's sad, spring-green eyes and hugged her gently. Jinmay was tenitive, but she hugged Nova anyways. The robot girl cried her heart out (if she has one...) and Nova's eyes swelled with saddness as well. "C'mon Jinmay... Don't do this..."
"Who will take your place in command, Nova?" Jinmay asked, squeezing her friend tightly.
Nova released her grip from Jinmay, and handed her something: the key to Nova's room. No one ever had access to her oom before; she always said she'd give it to someone she'd trust her life with... "You will..." The yellow monkey said quietly but stongly. "I need you to take care of these monkies for me while I'm gone... You're the woman of the robot now, Jinmay. I know you'll be a great third in command."
Jinmay's knees went into a quiver, and she pulled herself into another long hug. "I never thought I'd have to lose the closest thing I had to a sister," she whimpered through her tears and sobs. She let go and ran to her tube, leaving the room without seeing another painful goodbye.
Chiro walked to Nova with a mature look on his face, one that said he was trying to be strong. "So..." He began quietly. "Is this... really... what you want, Nova?"
She looked around the room to the sad faces surrounding her, and she turned back to her leader. "I... I think so..." Nova handed him her pin for the Hyperforce. "Promise you'll be a good leader?"
He couldn't hold back his tears; he dove into her arms into a fierce hug and cried. "I'm going to miss you, Nova..."
"I'll miss you too, Chiro..." Her voice broke as she hugged him back. "You were a way better leader than Madarin... I'll always admire that about you. And I'll keep in touch to make sure you don't endanger Shuggazoom."
Chiro let go, looking surprised but with smaller tears. "But... aren't you coming back?"
She looked to the ground with an emotionless glare. "I'll... think about it..."
He nodded, turning around and hurtfully pushing past Sprx as he went to Nova. There was a long silence between the two, but Nova couldn't help but stare at his seemingly lifeless eyes. They were pitch black, but there were tear marks underneath of them. Once she told him that she could melt at the sight of his stare, but now all she could do was freeze while her emotions continued inside of her endless, thoughtful mind.
"Nova..." he began. "Is there anything I could do to make you change your mind?"
She shook her head with hurt. "N-... No... There is nothing... You could do... To make me... Change my mind..."
He sighed, rubbing the back of his hanging head. "I had a feeling you would say that."
She somehow laughed, but it was filled with spite. "You know what, Sprx?" Nova said, putting her hands on her hips. "Everything is a joke to you. No matter how important it is to someone else, you just HAVE to toy with it. It's not special to you, even if it is the only reason why someone else is still living."
"Nova..." He tried to move his hand to her cheek, but she slapped it away.
"What if I told you something?" She tearfully explained. "I said I love you too much to lose you... But I don't love you enough to lose myself... I'm not one of those girls that just waits in their rooms until they die. I'm not the kind of girl that will hold a grudge against the man that broke her heart..."
Sprx stared at her with hot tears.
"I'm one of those girls... One of those very few girls..." She gasped between her hidden cries. "Who will do something about it. I told you that you were what kept me going... No matter how much I got hurt on the outside, I was willing to stand and fight because I had you... But... Seeing as I don't matter to you... I need to get stronger again..." She turned away, heading to the door, but stopping. "Goodbye, S.P.R.X.7.7..."
His eyes watered and his knees quivered from her painful words, but he was somehow able to say, "WAIT!"
She turned back, only to turn herself into a passionate kiss with her former love. When he let go, he began panting heavily and said, "Nova... I will ALWAYS... And forever... be in love with you..."
Without another word, she started towards the door again, and let it shut behind her. The team stood there, frozen like statues, to the door...
Me: Kk... done with— Chiro? Are you... crying?
Chiro: N-no! I just, got something in my eye, is all.
Me: Do you want some tissues?
Chiro: Yes please.
Me: Be right back. In the mean-time, read on!
