well that wasn't a long a wait now was it? as much as I want to finish my TMNT stories, I've had so many more ideas for Monkey Team. I wish I could make this chapter longer but ignoring the AN, this chapter is over 2,000 words. Anyway two more things.
1. For my 2 OC's I chose voices for them so u can imagine what they sound like;
Maura- Laura Bailey (Shakomon voice) from Digimon and Sandi- Jennifer Hale (June- The Last Airbender) so yeah that's who they sound like.
2. Remember- THE POSTER OF THIS STORY IS A BASE THAT BELONGS TO DEVIANTARTIST Heophtia. PLEASE, I DON'T KNOW HER, HER BASE WAS JUST FREE TO USE! CHECK OUT HER DEVIANTART PAGES, THERE'S PLENTY MORE LIKE THIS POSTER THAT HEOPHTIA OWNS! Sorry disclaimer, STORY TIME!
I DO NOT OWN SUPER ROBOT MONKEY HYPERFORCE GO!
After all the Formless soldiers were destroyed, the Hyperforce returned to the Super Robot tired but proud of their small victory. The attack was big, yet so simple that no one had anything to report, or so it seemed. As the team all entered from their respected tubes, Sparx jumped ahead and turned to the rest of the team with open arms.
"Alright, team. We worked hard today, so as a reward for all of you, it's soup all around!" he announced
"Yes!" Chiro raised his hands in relief "I am starving"
"Me too." said Nova walking up to Chiro "I can already taste those noodle. mmmm." she was excited since the red simian hadn't cooked for them in a long time
"Ooh, can I help you?" asked Otto eagerly "I'm sure it'll be ready much quicker with the two of us." he added walking over to him
"Hmmm.. why not?" the sarcastic monkey shrugged "Let's go." he said as they both raced into the kitchen
"Well, I'm going to wait my room with a little music. Call me down when dinner's ready." said the only female monkey as she stepped into her tube and went into her room to be alone.
"And I am almost finished with my latest experiment." said Gibson as he opened the door to his lab. "When it's finished, trouble with tracking our will be a thing of the past. Wish me luck, gentleman." he waved as the blue scientist entered his place of sanctuary. Leaving the young teenager and silver simian alone.
"So I guess it's just us, Antauri" smiled Chiro
"That would appear to the case" he replied "Would you like to come in my room and meditate for a bit?" he asked gesturing towards the tubes leading to the bedrooms
"Umm.. Yeah, okay." he shrugged and replied "I could use some peace and quiet after today." with that, the two leaders of the Monkey Team shot themselves upstairs and made their way to Antauri's room
"So anything particularly interesting happen while you and Otto were fighting the Formless?" the raven- haired boy asked while they were walking down the hall.
"Nothing out of the ordinary comes to mind. Although, the slingshot technique Otto and I invented proved to be quite helpful."
"Really?" Chiro went wide eyed "Man, I wish I could've seen you do. It looked so awesome during training." he praised his mentor for his and Otto's efforts
"Don't worry, my son, it was nothing you hadn't seen during training. Besides, I have a concerning feeling that we'll have to use it again soon." he said with minor dread as he opened the door to his and allowed the young leader to enter first.
"You think so?" he looked at the wise monkey as they both sat down in lotus position facing each other. Antauri simply nodded. "Huh. Well, there's nothing we can do about it until they attack again."
The second-in-common sighed "Good point. Let's begin, shall we?" he ended the conversation and began their traditional one-on-one meditation session. The two joined hands in silence and closed their eyes. This was done to help Chiro mimic Antauri's breathing pattern and connect them mentally.
(FORTY MINUTES LATER)
The unofficial father and son were deep into their meditation, when they heard the voice of a certain green cyborg could be heard calling from the main floor of the Super Robot. "ALRIGHT, GANG! SOUP'S ON!"
Chiro's eyes shot open with excitement "Finally!" he jumped from his seat nearly startling Antauri. However, just as reached the door, the black haired boy turned back to Antauri
"Umm.. can we finished this session tomorrow, Antauri? Please?" he begged with puppy eyes
"Actually, Chiro, I would prefer if we-" the silver monkey began to reply, but turned around to see a devastated look in his son's bright blue eyes as he held his arm around his stomach. Suddenly, a growl was heard from the boy's stomach making it even more apparent. Antauri looked down in thought realizing it'd be cruel to deny a growing boy a healthy dinner. "On second thought.., you've been very patient waiting for dinner. We can resume our meditation tomorrow." he smiled standing up as he set him free.
"Really?! Thank you, Antauri! I promise, tomorrow I'll be here as long as you want." he backed out of the door only to run into an also excited Nova
"Hey, Chiro. Just how hungry are you?" she asked with minor taunt in her voice
"What do you mean?" he asked in confusion as Antauri simply raised an eyebrow.
"I mean... first one to the kitchen eats first." she replied while slowly stepping ahead of her leader
"Oh, you are on, Nova" the teen smirked as charged at her trying to race in front of the yellow monkey. Once they were gone, Antauri chuckled at their behavior and gave himself a naughty grin with an idea. He closed his eyes and phased through the floor and entered the main room very quickly. Nova and Chiro were laughing and running when they both gasped and almost bumped into him.
"I expected you two to be much faster that." was all he said before charging ahead of both them
Nova and Chiro stared for a second and ran to catch "Hey, what? No fair!" shouted Nova
"You cheater!" added Chiro. Just before the silver monkey reached the kitchen, Chiro tackled him from the back and the two stumbled into the kitchen rolling at top speed. With the black eyed monkeys just sitting there startled by the scene, they quickly stopped in the middle of the floor with Chiro holding Antauri down by his arms. The two of them stared for a moment and panted to catch their breaths. Once they did, Chiro began to chuckle which turned into both of them bubbling with joyful laughter. Nova joined in the laughing from the doorway where she was standing, but Sparx, Gibson, and Otto just sat at the table not knowing how to react.
"Umm.. did we... miss something?" Sparx asked the three of them awkwardly
"Ha ha ha, nothing of concern, Sparx" Antauri reassured the three of them
"Yeah," Nova added as her laughing died "we were just messing around, guys. Let's just eat" she said still smiling as the young one leader helped the silver pacifist up. With that, the team sat down together and ate dinner. However, unbeknownst to them was that there was stalker among them. An invisible spirit had been watching the Hyperforce ever since they returned to the Super Robot. The small mist decided it had seen enough and fled from the scene before anyone could detect her.
(A SMALL WAREHOUSE NEAR THE END OF THE CITY)
The spirit returned to the body it belonged to. It was the soul of the little girl that was rescued by Antauri. She was sitting in a dark but colorful, tiny house with six different rooms that some she had designed herself, or left alone to collect even more dust. The spirit reentered the little girl's body as she sat in lotus position waiting for her soul to return from its stakeout. She gasped in minor pain but quickly shook it off and looked down at the stuffed puppy sitting in her lap. "(sigh) I guess we shouldn't be surprised someone like him is already taken. Huh, Sandi?" she asked the lifeless doll.
Suddenly, a small light glowed from the mysterious girl's forehand, which was hidden under her bangs. Then, the black button eyes of the toy began to glow the same shade of blue as the hidden light on the girl's head. The dog's eyes turned blue, grew tiny white pupils, and blinked twice. The 'lifeless' stuffed dog was now sentient. The puppy called Sandi spoke to the strange girl as she pet her head.
"I suppose not." Sandi answered with a sigh "So how old is she?"
"Who?" the girl tilted her head in confusion
"The other girl." she said with a low, sly tone "You said he was taken by another child. Well, Maura, describe her to me." she requested mysteriously
Maura explained "It's not a girl, Sandi, it's a boy. He had black hair, blue eyes, and he looked much bigger than me."
"Really?" the mysterious puppy was intrigued by this fact
"And there were four other colorful monkeys with them. They all looked liked one big happy family." she added with a depressed tone
"Hmm... I see. Well, if there's four more of them, I'm sure the boy won't notice if we take just one." the dog said with a sinister grin.
"That's exactly what I was thinking!" exclaimed Maura
"And you saw how he fought off those monsters." Sandi jumped down from her lap and turned around to face her. "If all of those monkeys and the boy could fight like that, than you need Andy here much more than they do."
"Yeah" the blond five year old said before catching her puppy's mistake "Hey. His name is Antauri" she corrected
"Details, details." Sandi said back as she turned to face the setting sun in the window "Beside, I'll have plenty of time to learn his name once he arrives." she chuckled creepily
Maura paused in thought for a second "You know what? You're right, Sandi. We've looked long enough for someone like him, and monkey or not, I don't want anyone else. It has to be him" the young girl announced with a determined voice. "We're bringing him here tonight" she said standing up
"(chuckle) What's this we business?" Sandi asked with smart aleck tone. You're the one with the gem." she pointed one paw at her still covered forehand "You know by now I'm only around when you're alone, sweetie. I'll help you with the plan, you're on your own with this one." she rolled her eyes with a condescending tone
"(groan) Fine, but how do I get Antauri here without any of those other guys noticing?" she pondered knelling in front of Sandi.
"Hmm.." Sandi turned to thewindow and leaped up to the window sill to gaze upon the small meadow just outside. There she saw a monarch butterfly innocently sucking the nectar out of a white daisy. "Gee, I don't know, Maura. It'd be much easier to lure him here if you were... oh I don't know.. smaller and could just flutter into their home undetected." she explained with a sarcastic tone. Maura raised an eyebrow at this and climbed up to the window sill to see what had her friend's attention.
"The butterfly?" she questioned. Sandi simply smirked and nodded in response. "but what could that little thing do for me?" she asked looking at Sandi as the butterfly started to fly away
"(chuckle) Darling, it could do anything your heart desires and mind commands" she replied with a hauntingly seductive voice.
Maura looked at her hand as an evil but small grin grew across her seemingly innocent face. "Hm hm hm... How silly of me to forget." was all she said. She pulled her bangs away from her forehead to reveal a blue diamond shaped gem incrusted in her forehead. Then, the gem, as well as her brown eyes, began to glow blue as she glared at the obvlious butterfly. Suddenly, the butterfly froze mid-air. It struggled in an invisible grip as it silently pleaded for someone to end its agonizing pain. After a moment of suffering, the butterfly was engulfed in a blue light that paralyzed it for a few seconds. Then the light of its body started to crack like glass and the insect broke free as if it had just rehatched from a new chrysalis. Except when it was released, it was no longer orange and black. Instead, its entire body resembled a crystal that shined in the setting sun with its light blue wings and body. The crystallized butterfly landed in the palm of its new, young master who reformed it into this body.
"My, my... haven't we improved." Sandi praised Maura's achievement as the apparently magically child brought the butterfly down to her lap to show her partner her 'work of art' "Hmm... not very colorful," she added as she examined their new minion "but I suppose we won't be using it for long. So what's that pretty little imagination of yours thought of this time?" she asked yawning and curling up in a ball as if she didn't care about their current actions
"Something harmless and simple." said Maura as she pulled the insect closer to her face "I've always wondered what a butterfly would sing if it could make a sound. For now, the sound of an enchanting siren that lures you away with its graceful music and beauty."
"Yeah, yeah, fancy greek stories. Now can we get on with this? " the small dog complained as Maura rolled her still glowing eyes and gave the butterfly its command
"Alright, buddy." she whispered to it, "you're going to fly into the city and look for a humungous, gray, giant robot. Once you find it, you'll sneak inside look for a silver monkey and wait til everyone's sleeping. You know what to do from there." she explained as she released the butterfly into the twilight sky and the mysterious duo grinned at each other as their long awaited plan was finally being put into motion.
