Chapter 3

Pikuro: Finally! Time for some action! I tried to make this chapter as long as possible to satisfy! But it's a bit forced. I'll have better stuff in the future. Read and review please please please please please!

"Okay, Otto, you go talk to Gibson." Nova said. "And I'll go talk to Sprx." Otto gave a salute and dashed over to Gibson's room right away. Nova walked slowly to Sprx's room.

"Sprx?" She opened the door and looked around. "Hello?" She noticed something wiggling in the corner. "Is that you? Sprx, come on out if you can hear me."

When she got closer to see what it was she gasped. It was Sprx, but in a different form. His eyes were red, he grew fangs, his magnets were out and they were glowing bright red. He stood up and lunged forward, trying to attack her!

"AH!" She cried out! Nova continued dodging attacks. Sprx had turned into some sort of monster. "Sprx! What are you doing? It's me, Nova! Snap out of it!" Nova called to him, but Sprx launched an attack from his magnets at her and she fell to the floor unconscious.

"Nova!" Chiro thrust into the room to see Sprx in his monster form. "Sprx, what's wrong?"

The red simian went berserk at the sight of Chiro! He grabbed Chiro and pinned him to the floor! Then he placed his metal paw (which grew long claws dripping with ooze) on Chiro's chest. His claws punctured the boy's skin and he began to suck the life, and power primate, out of the young boy. But he only had a few seconds until…

"CLAW DISRUPTOR!" Antauri attacked Sprx and sent the red simian flying toward the wall. Sprx got up and growled. He stood on all fours like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey. Then the silver simian stood in front of Chiro, who was curled up on his side in agony. "Sprx! You're being possessed by something! Snap out of it!"

"GRAAAAGH!" Sprx leaped forward, no longer using his magnets, and tried to scratch at Antauri's torso, but the Silver monkey easily dodged these attacks.

"MONKEY MIND SCREAM!" Antauri sent an attack that stunned the red simian long enough to deactivate his battery. Antauri caught his breath and ran over to Chiro. "Chiro! Are you alright?"

"I think I'll be okay." Chiro groaned. His shirt was stained with blood and ooze. The teen got up, using the wall as support. Then he looked at Sprx, and then at Nova. Otto and Gibson ran into the room.

"Great Scott! What happened in here?" Gibson examined the area. Otto just dropped his jaw in awe of the sight.

"Something happened to Sprx." Chiro said. "He turned into some sort of monster and attacked us."

"We have to take them to the med bay." Antauri said. Gibson nodded. Antauri grabbed Sprx and Gibson took Nova. Otto walked with Chiro.


"This isn't good." Gibson said staring at the computer screen.

"What is it, Gibson?" Otto said.

"Whatever happened to Sprx was…very unnatural. I'm picking up foreign substances in his body. He's turned back to normal, but…whatever made him behave that way is still in his body and can act up at any time. For now, we should keep him deactivated to be safe."

"What about Nova?" Chiro asked.

"She should be fine. She was just knocked out. She'll wake up in a few minutes."

"So, what's in Sprx's body that made him act weird?" Otto asked.

"I'm not sure. I've never seen anything like it, and none of our computers can identify it." Gibson rubbed his chin and glanced at the screen again.

"That's because it isn't a substance in his body." Antauri said. "His power primate is corrupted." The others gasped.

"So there IS something wrong with the power primate." Chiro said.

"Are you sure?" Otto asked.

"Yes, Otto. I'm afraid so. Whatever he turned into…tried to take the Power Primate out of you, Chiro. And now that Sprx was infected by this…corruption, all of his Power Primate is gone."

"So, something is trying to take away the Power Primate from us." Gibson said.

"We have to protect Chiro. And we all need to keep an eye out for anything suspicious." Antauri said to the team. Gibson and Otto nodded and they all left the room, none of them noticing a black koi fish with a yellow spot hovering above them in the med bay.


"Antauri! Look!" Gibson pulled something upon the computer screen. "A silent alarm was triggered last night. Apparently something, or some things, entered the robot and got past our security systems!"

"Why do we have a SILENT alarm? Before it was Sokko and now this." Otto said. Gibson thought for a moment.

"That IS a good point, Otto." The blue simian pulled a video onto the screen. It showed a group of black blob things entering the robot by phasing through the metal walls.

"So those things got in here and infected Sprx!" Chiro said. "Can you figure out where they are now?"

"I'm afraid not." Gibson took the video down and showed a map of the robot. There was nothing scanned.

"Well, whatever those things are, we need to stay as far away from them as possible." Chiro said. The others nodded.


Meanwhile, in med bay, the yellow koi fish had stuck itself to Nova's face and went into her body. She woke up and blinked, wondering what was going on. Then she saw Sprx unconscious on the med bay table next to her.

"Sprx! Are you okay?" She said as she ran over. Suddenly her head was pounding and she closed her eyes. When they opened back up, her eyes were red and she pulled out her giant fists. Then she exited med bay.
