chapter 2- The Cottage
After taking Sparx back home from the vet, the team began to pack their stuff to go on a camping trip! Antauri, whose eyebrows were already raised, raised them even further when he saw Otto bringing out his guitar, ukulele, banjo, tambourine and cello.
Antauri turned to everyone else. "Okay Hyper Force, the campervan isn't that big so we can't pack too much - OTTO! Put that back."
Otto sighed dejectedly, and he went to return the bongo drums back to the Super Robot. Everyone else was ready. "Okay, how about we get going?" Chiro suggested, excited. The others agreed. It was about time to hit the road!
Gibson put on a hat with corks swinging from the brim and took the steering wheel. "Hold on tight, because THIS IS GONNA GET BUMMPPYYYY."
The campervan lurched to a start, and they were on the road towards their new holiday! The trip seemed dangerous because the large vehicle swerved from side to side and collided with several objects including a lamp post, a rubbish bin and an old lady. Her spine snapped and she died.
Otto whooped with joy as they began singing road trip songs, and everyone grabbed an instrument and began playing like they were in an orchestra! Antauri played the banjo, Sprx played the guitar, Chiro played the tambourine, Nova played the cello and Otto played the ukulele. A beautiful symphony was conducted for the next hour.
All of a sudden, sirens went off and the campervan slowed to a stop. Apparently, the old lady they had run over had become lodged under the wheel and was stuck. The police had pulled him over!
"Excuse me sir," said the police officer as Gibson rolled down the window, "May I see your driver's license?"
Gibson got scared because he realised then that he didn't have a license at all! Then the team realised it probably wasn't a good idea to let a monkey drive. In fact, none of them were allowed to drive.
"Antauri, what do we do?" Chiro asked, worried, as the police driver began to get suspicious of them, especially since they had an old lady stuck under their car. Antauri's eyebrows finally lowered, and turned into a frown.
"Let me handle it!" he said. He turned his hands into claws and knocked the police man out. "Now DRIVE!"
Sparx took the wheel because he had more experience driving, even though he was still blind, and they made their way towards their hired cottage, which was in the middle of a forest.
The team arrived at the forest and began driving through. Gibson was studying the map intently, because they were lost. Sparx was getting annoyed.
"Hurry up and find the road we're on!" snapped the red monkey.
Gibson got angry as well, "Excuse me, but I'm trying my best. I don't see you doing any better!"
"I would if I wasn't driving, Brain Strain!" Sprx snapped back, "I'm just going to take this road!" He turned down a random road that was lined with foreboding trees, however the team did not seem to notice the danger as they were just trees. How could be trees be foreboding anyway.
After traveling down this road for 3 hours, it became apparent that they had gone the wrong way. "I told you, you should've turned back the OTHER way!" Gibson and Sparx continued to argue, and suddenly Sprx lost control of the campervan!
It bumped over a large bump, veered off the road and crashed into a tree. The monkey team didn't get hurt except Nova but she deserved it, and Otto accidentally broke his banjo. He started crying.
"What do we do now, team?" Chiro said, worried.
Suddenly, a beautiful girl appeared from the forest. She seemed scared but trusting, and cautiously approached the monkeys. Chiro knew straight away that this girl was special. She had beautiful golden brown hair that glittered brightly in the sunlight, and certain parts shone gold. Her eyes were a shy green with brown flecks, and they hinted of a deep, traumatic past. She didn't say anything for a moment, then a harmonious melody drifted through the air, and Chiro realised she was speaking. It was like the sound of sweet, loamy violets that drifted in a warm summer breeze on a crisp winter dawn. It was like strawberry gum drops freshly plucked from their mother's bosom, drifting on the breath of a delicately skewered chicken. It was love at first sight.
"I heard the accident, are you all okay?" whispered the girl tentatively. Chiro nodded without saying anything, enthralled by her beauty. Nova lay battered on the ground but no one noticed.
"My name is Skye Raven Hakumei, but you can call me Skye," she continued, batting her eyelids shyly. She coyly played with her hair, and turned away slightly out of fear. Chiro raised his hands to show they meant no harm.
"My name is Chiro, and these are my monkeys. We are the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force."
The girl nodded, as she had heard of them before. She stepped closer as she now trusted them completely.
"Well, I was wondering if you could help me," Skye said, "I've been lost in the forest, I can't find my family either. I can't remember much of what happened, I have amnesia."
"Of course we'll help you!" Antauri butted in, "We can help you search for your family!"
Skye smiled and her face lit up with enthusiasm, "Great! I last saw them a few days ago. I can lead you to the place, maybe we can find some clues as to how they disappeared!"
"Good, so it's settled!" Chiro began to set off after Skye Raven Hakumei, followed by the monkeys, and Otto who was lugging all the other instruments behind them.
They traveled for what seemed like hours, and then night began to fall. They set up camp, and cooked food over a campfire. Chiro noticed that Skye wasn't present. He looked around and noticed her sitting some distance off by a cliffside, staring into the sunset. Chiro joined her, and sat down quietly.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly. Then he noticed a small tear in the corner of her eye. She quickly wiped it away, and nodded.
"I just miss my family. I'm scared that something might have happened to them."
"I'm sure they're okay," Chiro reassured her, "We'll find them!"
He put his arm around her, and she rested her head on his shoulder, stifling a few sobs. They shared a quiet moment together, enjoying the tranquility of the forest and watched the beautiful burning sun descend into shadow, allowing night to creep in and throw a veil of stars over the slumbering world.
