Chapter 2: Many Questions That Need Answers
The night was dark but clear. Ranger 7 and a full sky of stars could be easily identified glistening in the distance. The city of shuggazoom was quiet and motionless. Nothing but the occasional whistle of the northern wind could be heard on the streets. Everyone was sleeping peacefully knowing that their protectors had everything under control. They thought a great enemy had been defeated and the constant threat of an attack was slim to none. They were happy they had nothing more to worry about. Nothing was left to worry about, right? The main cause of most of the attacks to the city was the Sk. He was gone. The almost unchanging worry they all had about the complete demolition of shuggazoom by that evil , was gone, right? Many shuggazoomians had the fear of him returning to wreak havoc upon the city, but they blocked it out of their minds knowing that everything will be ok. They had the monkey team, with them on the job everyone was safe.
Only one person was awake in all of shuggazoom. He was high up, watching over city like a hawk. The light from ranger 7 and the stars reflected off of his metallic body as he was watching and waiting. But what was he waiting for? Antauri had asked himself this many times, over the past few weeks. Something was bothering him. What it was he did not know. It was an unpleasant and dark feeling, that made him shudder the more he tried to discover its origin.
This feeling gave him the indication that their greatest mission wasn't successful. He remembered he said himself ,that what he had always hoped for had finally been brought to the galaxy. But had it? Peace had been an unreachable goal for so long, why all of sudden could they win? Maybe he just needed to accept the fact that sometimes there are happy endings. He needed to forget about the past and carry on with his future. But how could he forget? Every time he looked in a mirror or used his abilities he would be remembered of the pain and torture he went suffered to rid the universe of evil. Even though he gave his life, the attempt he made was almost wasted. The Dark one still continued on its rampage, as if not one thing was lost.
But the dark one was destroyed, he watched it happen. Something told him a part of it remained. How could this be ? Their plan was flawless and the results the same. There was no way it could have survived.
He realized how these feelings were weakening him. Not just in physical strength , but in mental as well. He knew , of course, himself better than anyone. It was not like him to question everything ,as he was doing. He was the one with all the answers. Not the other way around. He was the one who his team came to for wisdom and strength. Not for weakness and invulnerability. He also realized that he had been avoiding his team. If any of them came to him with a question, he feared he might give the wrong answer or might not have the answer at all. Hiding wouldn't solve anything. One of his teammates would wonder, and confront him with it.
They all had no indication that anything was wrong. They came to the conclusion that everything was under control. They had nothing that would make them stray from that state of mind, as he did. The power primate was a powerful force, one that they didn't quite understand or posses as much as he did. That is why he had to meditate so often, to keep it under control. But no matter how hard he concentrated, lately , he could not keep the power primate under control. Currently, meditating was almost useless, it didn't make him feel refreshed or stronger as it usually did. The power primate thrashed inside of him, giving a warning of some kind. A warning that he desperately needed to decipher, before something happened to shuggazoom or him. Every single day he grew weaker little by little. He needed to find out why , and soon
"Chiro is feeling this too. I can sense it." Antauri smiled."" The boy has become so familiar with the power primate , he must be able to mask this pain that I am falling apart trying to hide."
Antauri thought to himself how much chiro had grown in wielding the power primate. He was proud of him, and chiro knew that. But that almost worried antauri. He has come to him with problems before, but this time it was different. Chiro too had been acting a bit out of the ordinary lately. But he hadn't shared it with him as he had the times before. Antauri had a feeling that chiro was starting to question things as he was.
Antauri closed his cobalt blue eyes and focused all his energy on the power primate. He began to float and put himself in a usual meditating position. He strained to understand what the power primate was trying to tell him. For about another hour , he hovered above the ground, and stressed to find the answer he was looking for. He finally got something.
"Something is coming ." Antauri said
He opened his eyes and stared into space.
"Ughh..." Antauri moaned and fell to the ground.
He used the super robots neck to steady himself, and tried to stand up.
"I have to warn them. I-." was all he could say.

"I never realized how entertaining it was to stare at the ceiling for so long." Chiro said sarcastically
He was laying in bed, as irritated as a hornet. He had been awake all night tossing and turning. Sleep never coming to him easily, the way it had been for weeks.
" I give up! What's wrong with me! I haven't been able to sleep for weeks!" Chiro said hopping out of bed.
He stood up and started to pace around his room. He put a hand to his head and closed his eyes.
"Something's wrong. I have a bad feeling. The power primate has been really disturbed lately. I hope we really did what I think we did. What if we didn't?" Chiro thought.
He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.
"I should tell antauri." Chiro said
Chiro all of the sudden felt dizzy. He stumbled a little, and sat down on his bed.
"Whoa , that didn't feel right at all." Chiro said
He sat and thought for a few minutes. He started to think about their last biggest mission. "Was operation Burn the worm successful? Did we really do it? I don't think we did. All these feelings I have been having , im getting weaker everyday. I cant be weak. I have to be strong. I have to protect shuggazoom, and all the people in it. They all think they are safe. But are they? I ask too many questions." chiro thought to himself
To break the silence his alarm clock went off.
"Time to start another day." chiro said as he went over to his dresser and started to dress.
There was one thing that sat in the back of chiro's mind that he dared not even think of. That their mission failed, and peace was not brought to the universe. But everything was ok. So why even worry? Right?
