Turning Your Back
Chapter 2: Search and Rescue
Nova's Point of View:
I only slept for an hour or two before I woke up. I stepped out of my bed and stretched. I felt more energized then I had in months, but still not as much as I wish I could have been. Much of my energy had returned though, now that my so call 'Pupil' has stopped draining my energy while trying to talk to me threw our connection.
I quietly stepped over to my door and opened it; Otto wasn't out there, neither was anyone. I moved outside my door and when it shut, I saw a note hanging on the outside of it.
Dear Nova,
Hope you feel better. Sorry we had to go, if going woke you up. Even with SK gone, Mandarin still likes to put up a fight. We left the kitchen and Gibson's lab open incase you needed any food or meds. Hopefully you won't get this and just sleep threw it, but you being you, no such luck right?
Sprx
I was touched by the fact that Sprx had left me a note, but I was even happier about what the guys had done fore me. The left the entire robot to myself, I could easily grab food and maybe even look for something in Gibson's lab that could get ride of the drugs hurting my pupil. I hurried back to my room and grabbed a few bags, one for food and one for some meds incase of anything that might happen.
I then ran to the kitchen and grabbed as much food as I could and some meds from Gibson's lab, but while I was getting supplies, I saw this new liquid that it seamed Gibson had been working on. His notes were left out next to it saying something about a solution that drains the body of any drug inside it. I smiled and grabbed the liquid and threw its container in my bag.
Now all that was left was to get a ship and get my pupil. I raced out to the docking area and found one of Otto's latest ships he had built. When I got inside, the first thing I took out was the security camera. I didn't need Otto knowing just yet that I stole his ship. After that I searched the ship until I found the ship's tracker beacon, which would have allowed the guys to find me if I hadn't of removed it.
Once that was done, I started up the engine and raced out of the docking area. I could feel the girl threw our connection just as she had told me. I felt her getting closer, and now I saw what she meant when I saw her last about the medical facility. It was huge, larger then the super robot! It looked like it was the size of a planet from where I was, but it didn't look like an aggressive ship.
I hurried and parked in a parking area in the facility and raced passed all the people there and found ventilation shaft and crawled in. After a few minutes of mindlessly searching around, I found an information desk. I lit my hand on fire and let a single flare of scorch float down to the woman who sat at the desk. At first she didn't notice the fire in her hair until it began to reach her scalp. She screamed and jumped from her place at the counter and ran. Other people ran after her to see if she was alright and put of the fire and I jumped out of the air vent and quickly hacked into the computer.
From the information I pulled up, it seams the most serious patients are sent further up in the medical facility. I then found a private hospital room on the top floor, or the bridge. I hurried over to the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. Not wanting to get caught, I jumped up onto the ceiling and hung out of everyone's sight.
Upon reaching the top floor, I saw a woman talking to a man. Threw my connection to the girl, I felt anger. She was angry at these two. They must be the ones holding her here and giving her the drugs. The girl's anger then turned into my anger and I had to pull myself together before I could get caught.
"I just gave her the last dose for today James." The woman said. "She's out of it, there's no way she can have any energy left after the drugs I just gave her."
"Good, thank you Mira. You are free to go now, enjoy the rest of the night." James said. Mira nodded and headed my way toward the elevator. I hurried up to the top and threw the hatch there and climbed into the shaft above the bridge. The elevator then moved behind me and I almost jumped, but now was not the time to be scared, I have to get that girl free.
I crawled threw the vents until I came over the private room. Threw the small holes I saw the girl on a bed, millions of wires attached to her and a drug still being administered into her arm in a machine to the side of her. I heard the door open and that man, James came into the room. I hide in the shadow of the vent and watched from afar.
"Let..me..go.." I could just barley hear the girl whisper. The man, James laughed.
"Let you go? Now why would I do that? As long as I have you in my hands, young princess, your power is mine; I control whether you even have it or not. I will never let you go as long as you have this power inside you, and I hope soon that I will find out what it is." He let his hand trail to her cheek and she roughly, in her weaken state, pulled her face away from his hand. He laughed and held her face anyway, putting his face right next to her's. "You belong to me, and I will never let you go." He then let go of her face and turned to walk out of the room.
When I heard the door shut, I opened the vent and quickly looked around for any cameras. I sighed when I saw there was none, probably because he checked on her every day. I jumped down from the ceiling and hurried over to the girl. I turned off the machine and pulled all the wires off of her and the IV out of her arm. She slowly sat up and I helped her do so.
"Here, drink this." I told her, pulling out the liquid I had found in Gibson's lab. "It will run the drug out of your system." She then greedily grabbed the liquid out of my hands and drank it. When it was all gone, she ran from the bed and into what looked to be a bathroom. I heard a lot of ruckus in there before she stumbled out of the bathroom and could barely stand. I hurried over to her side and helped her up and to the door and looked around and saw no one. I ran out of the room with her hand grasping my tail and pulled her into the elevator.
Once we got down to the bottom floor, the woman wasn't back yet, and a man was in her place. I quickly pulled the girl around the back of the desk so we wouldn't be seen and ran for the parking area. Once out there, I instantly regretted it, we should have tried to get threw the ventilation. The woman who had been giving my pupil the drugs was out there, and saw us run out.
"Stop them!" She shouted to a guard there. "That monkey is stealing a patient!" I ran faster then I believe I ever pushed myself to do and made it to my ship, but by that time, security had already alerted the command and the ship was after us.
Way to go Nova. I thought to myself. You did a great job up until now, and you had to mess it up.
"Master Nova." My pupil called next to me. "Don't hurt yourself over us getting caught. You couldn't have known that Mira was out there in the garage. Besides, they would have noticed my absence sooner or later." I nodded to her, we would probably talk more about this later, but for now, we had to get off this ship.
I blasted off into space only to have the entire ship fire upon us, then it stopped, I guess the command wants this girl alive, after what I heard that man say, it's very believable. Sad part now was that I had ships deployed after me. If we wanted to make it out of here, we had to go back to Shuggazoom for a short while, maybe it will give me some time to teach this girl some things, start a bit of her training.
I hurried off the engines and flew us back to Shuggazoom, but I had us land in the Savage Lands, the entrance hidden from those people behind us. I smirked as they stopped a long ways off and didn't know where we were. Oh god, I'm starting to act like Sprx! I drove us all the way to the place where we had been created, the Alchemist's lab. I hurried and landed the ship inside the lab and closed the doors to the entrance of this lab behind us.
"That should keep us safe for the time being." I sighed. I turned back to my ship that had been parked in the middle of the Alchemist's dusty old lab, and watched my pupil walk off the ship.
"Wow." She said, amazed. "What is this place?"
"This is the place where I was created, along with my friends." I told her. "A man by the name the Alchemist created and built us, mixing the power primate with science. But he became the evil man know as Skeleton King and we had to defeat him, or else the universe would be destroyed."
"Ouch, heavy burden." She said. I nodded to her. "Thank you Master Nova. For freeing me."
"There's no need to thank me, I did it because they kept you prisoner there, something no one deserves." I told her. "But I do want to get something threw so that we don't have to have this conversation again. Please don't call me 'Master', it just doesn't sound right to me. Please just call me Nova."
"Okay, Nova. And what do want to call me?"
"How about your name?" I chuckled. She sighed with a smile and laughed a little.
"My name is Jasmine." She said. I nodded and grabbed some food that I took from the robot before I left and handed it to her.
"You're going to need to gather your strength, because after this, we need to start training you in any way possible. It's going to be your main training, along with mastering that elemental power primate you have."
"Yes Nova and I can't wait for that training." She said. I smiled and ate my portion of food before I got up with Jasmine and started her training that we so desperately needed if we were to get out of here.
