Author's Note: I'm so sorry for the delay, but like I said in my other story, I was in the process of moving to another state so I couldn't update any of my stories.
Also, there is going to be one or two mentions of my other story, Colors of Emotion, since "This is War" takes place after my other story.
Second, if you are questioning about the title of this story "This is War" what it really means is that Sprx and Otto are battling over who is better for Nova while fighting another battle over who's in charge with Haya.
Anyway, thanks for the reviews and here's the next chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter Three
Adjustment
Otto snapped out of his thoughts and ran after the little tiger.
"Haya, Haya, come back" he shouted.
Sprx fell to his knees with his hands still covering his face where she'd scratch him and scream. "My face, my face, I think she'd got my eye" he cried.
Otto looked around the robot but couldn't find Haya anywhere and scratched his head "She couldn't have gotten too far from us" he said to himself and continue looking.
As soon as the green monkey was out of sight, Haya pop out of nowhere and ran back to where Sprx was at. She enters the command center to see Sprx trying to wipe his face but sadly, he was just spreading the little blood that formed from the scratch all over his face. She heard the green monkey coming and spotted the color tubes that were behind Sprx.
As quick as she can, she dashes over to the nearest tube which was the yellow, jumped over Sprx who had no clue she was there and over to the tube. In less then a second she was shot up to Monkeys' room with a large grin on her face.
"Haya" Otto called out while entering the command center again. "Haya, where are you"
"Otto, you idiot, why are you trying to find her when I'm bleeding here" Sprx shouted, with his eyes shut tight.
"Oh yeah, my bad" Otto said, smiling.
"OTTO!" Sprx shouted in a very annoyed tone.
"Can I least find Haya before I treat your wound" Otto asked.
"NO!" Sprx yelled.
Haya exits the yellow tube and walked over to the six rooms that were side by side in two rows. She stopped next to the green monkey's room and nearly jumped when the hatch suddenly open. She shrugged and let herself in.
The room was filled with metal junk and tools that Haya couldn't even see the floor. B always told her to defeat the enemy you have to know their weaknesses so she had to find something that will give her clues on how to take down her "kidnapers." She looked through on pile of junk after another til finally she reach the green monkey's bed and spotted a small green book sticking out between the mattress.
(Bingo) she said, grabbing the small book with her mouth. She let it drop to the floor that cause the book to open to the middle page and started to read it.
"Sprx, I can't check your face if you don't move your hands" Otto said.
They were in the Med. Room and Sprx was being stubborn about the pain the little tiger inflicted on him. "I think she got my eye, Otto"
"Well, I can't look unless you remove your hands" Otto said.
Sprx sighed and removed his hands revealing four horrible scratches that went across his right side of his face. Otto tired hard not to laugh, thinking if Nova was here she would do all the laughing for him.
"How bad is it" Sprx asked.
Otto swallows "she didn't get your eye but if you want I can wrap a bandage around it as it heals" he said.
"And hide this face, no way" Sprx said, in a cocky tone.
Otto rolled his eyes and tossed him a wet towel "then this will help you stop the bleeding" he said.
As Sprx presses the wet towel gently on is face the alarm went off so they rush over to the command center. They stop dead in their tracks when they saw Haya pressing random buttons and even yanking off levels with her teeth.
"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing" Sprx shouted.
"Trying to get out of here, what do you think Stupid" Haya growled.
They raised an eyebrow from the harsh and rude tone of voice the cub has as she gave them a very sour look.
"Why, you're staying here while B went out of town" Otto said.
Haya stopped what she was doing and stared Otto "you mean, I wasn't kidnaped" she asked and the pair shook their heads. She growls "Man, she did it to me again" she shouted and stomped her paw down.
The area around them started to shake and a large gust of wind came out of nowhere and push the monkeys down to the floor.
"What did that come from" Otto asked, getting up from the floor.
"You, the one called Otto, you take me home right this minute" Haya demanded, "I told B thousands and thousands of times that I don't need a babysitter. I, Haya, can take care of myself"
"Well too bad, Haya, like it or not, we are your babysitters and you'll be staying here for a whole week" Sprx said.
"Don't make me scratch out your eye, Sparky" Haya said.
Sprx's face darkens "what did you call me"
"You heard me, Sparky, I called you Sparky, do you have a problem with that S-p-a-r-k-y" Haya said, spitting out the last letters. "Now take me home. I refuse to live in a tin can with robot idiots."
"You can't leave" Otto said, "you have to stay here til B comes back"
"And don't you dare call me that name or else-"
"Or else what, Sparky" Haya asked, "you gonna beat me up, yet I do recall you need me for the reward you want from B"
Sprx started to blush "So I guess you "letter" owner told you about the deal"
Haya laughed "Of course not, I found that out by myself and a few other things as well." Haya grins, showing her small bright white fangs. "It's a good way to use as a weakness"
"I don't like that smile, Sprx" Otto whispered. "She knows something we don't"
"Duh, she knows about the deal" Sprx whispered back.
"Hello, back to me" Haya said.
The two monkeys looked down at Haya as she continues. "Since I have to stay here in this dump there is something you need to know. If you want things to run smoothly between us, you two will do whatever I say" Haya order.
"Wait, that can't be right, we're the babysitters" Otto said.
"That's what the other babysitters said and they ended up in the hospital" Haya said, "They didn't have any clue what I'm capableof when it comes to my powers"
Sprx started to laugh "you, a puny baby cub has powers, don't make me laugh"
Otto saw the angry look in Haya's eyes as her gem started to glow "Sprx, I wouldn't"
"Shut up Otto" Sprx said then turned his attention to Haya. "Now you listen to me, there is no way I'm going back on this deal and there is no way I'm letting you boss me around so you going to stop all this nonsense and be a good little cub so I can get my reward" Sprx said.
Haya growled and stomped her paw on the floor again causing the area around them to shake again follow by a gust a wind. The monkeys fell to the floor again and Haya laughed.
"Sprx, I don't think she's a normal little cub" Otto said, getting up.
"Of course not Moron" Haya said, "My name is Haya, I came from Planet Gem and I'm a rare breed that B fought so hard to claim. The gem on my chest is the source of all my powers which are speed and wind and I'm sorry to say this but my gem is worth more then your crummy lives"
"That's it, I had enough of you mouth" Sprx said, walking over to the cub who stood her ground.
"One scratch and you're scraps of metal, remember" Haya said.
Sprx stopped dead in his tracks and Haya laughed "Like I said, obey my every command and this week will go by ok and we will all be happy" she said.
"Never, I'm not taking orders from a brat like you" Sprx said. "And that goes double with Otto"
"It does" Otto said, dumbfounded.
"Otto" Sprx growled.
"Oh, then yeah, that goes double with me" Otto said, puffing up his chest.
Haya rolled her eyes "Ok, you been warned" she said, then suddenly disappeared.
"Where did she go" Otto asked.
Sprx looked around only to be push down when Haya jumped onto his head then landed on the floor. As Sprx got up from the floor again Haya open up a little yellow book and started to read a page.
"Dear Diary, today I noticed "So-So" staring at me again like as if I never noticed him doing that before. I feel bad for "So-So" because he's nice and all but I really love "So-So." I really wish I can tell him but I don't want to break his heart."
"What the hell are you reading" Sprx asked.
Haya grinned and holds up the book that read "Nova's Diary" "Isn't it great to have the power to speed, you can do research a lot faster"
Sprx and Otto went pale as they stared at the little yellow book. "That's really Nova's diary" Sprx asked.
Haya nodded "And boy, she doesn't leave anything out, she talks about the days battling Skeleton King, about her friends . . . her crushes" She said.
"Crushes" Sprx beamed.
"By the look on your ugly face you think she's talking about you, huh" Haya asked.
"Well duh, who else would she be talking about since everyone knows I'm the only one who loves her"
Otto started to sweat and he noticed Haya staring at him with a grin then look back at Sprx "Nova was right on page 23, you really are the dumb monkey" Haya said, "you have no idea what's right in front of you"
"Huh" Sprx said in confusion.
"Oh and if I were you, I would stop with the love poems you wrote, you have no talent whatsoever" Haya said.
"What poems, what the hell are you talking about" Sprx asked.
Haya rolled her eyes and disappeared again and in a flash return and threw two books down in front of them. One red book and one green book with their pages wide open.
"Those poems in your little red book" She said, "No talent whatsoever"
"You . . . little . . . monster" Sprx shouted, shaking in angry while the cub just grin from this amusement.
Sprx was about to grab her and find a cage or something to lock the cub in when his eyes caught his attention to the page in the green book. "Hey, isn't this Otto's" he asked.
Otto grew very nervous and started to search for the nearest exit. "Just a little proof that you're not the only one who likes the yellow monkey and also she does talk about him too a lot in her diary.
"She does" Otto beamed then quickly covered his mouth from his little slip.
It finally hit Sprx and he slowly turned his head over to Otto. "You love her too"
Otto started to sweat big time. "No, of course not, why would I like someone as beautiful and smart as Nova" He said then realize what he just said. "Oops"
"Is that the reason you're helping with this little brat" Sprx asked, getting a little angrier.
Otto couldn't hide it anymore. "Yes, you're not the only one who wanted to get her that gift but of course it was too expensive" Otto confessed . "You would think after that thing with those robot bugs you would figure out that you're not the only one who loves Nova"
"Those were the stones' fault"
"Wrong" Otto shouted.
"Oh I get it now, you think getting her the gift will win her heart" Sprx asked then laughed "HA, that is my plan and I'm not going to let you or Haya ruin it for me"
"I think she could do better than some flirt with more dirty thoughts in his mind then anything else" Otto said.
"At least I have a mind, your brain is smaller then the screws you use to build your machines." Sprx said.
"At least I work, you do nothing but lie around til Nova yells at you to wake up and get to work" Otto said.
"That just proves Nova pays attention to ME, and that proves she loves ME instead of YOU"
"That doesn't prove anything but the fact that you're lazy, SPARKY" Otto said.
"I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT" Sprx shouted.
Otto glared at him "Sssssppppppaaaaarrrrrrkkkkkkyyyyy" He said in slow motion.
"YOU'RE DEAD" Sprx shouted and tackle Otto to the ground.
Haya watches as the two started fighting while yelling at each other about whom Nova loves more. Otto bit Sprx's tail as Sprx yanks on Otto's antenna on his head. Haya shook her head and walked away while holding Nova's diary to explore this tin can the monkeys call home.
(This would've never happened if they just listen to my every command) Haya said to herself.
Chapter Three: Birthday Cake Disaster: Sprx and Otto's fight heats up when they took Haya out to find Nova's birthday cake.
