Chapter 2
Kobalta Vessel Repairing Station
**********************
-Beep-beep- -beep-beep- -beep-beep- Angel yawned and opened her eyes wearily, focusing on the infernal alarm blaring in her sensitive ears, not caring that she had fallen asleep while on guard.
"Ugh! Blast that dreadful alarm! Everything else is scrap, but it still works!"
Angel then got out of her 'nice comfy chair' and went up to the control panel, typing on some keys and turning the blasted alarm off.
She glanced back at the trio, noticing Aierow looking around wide eyed.
Angel smirked.
"It's alright, Aierow, just the alarm telling us we've reached our destination."
Aierow looked towards her, focusing on the image on the main screen.
There, in the vastness of space, was a floating building that looked like it had been created using a bunch of junk.
Aierow got out of the bed, making sure to cover up the still slumbering monkeys, and went to stand beside Angel.
Aierow then looked up at the young leader, speaking.
"Angel...I sense a foreboding presence at this 'Repairing Station', but....I also feel something calling out to me."
Angel stared at the station as they came closer, a frown on her face.
"Either way, we must dock here. The ship is in terrible need of repair. We'll investigate your feelings once that is done."
Aierow silently nodded, then looked at the station as well.
**********************
The ship landed shakily and shut off, then Angel turned to Aierow, who had went over to the kids when they awoke.
"Aierow,"
Aierow looked back at Angel curiously.
"I want you and the kids to stay in the ship while I go and speak to their boss about fixing the ship."
Before she could object, Angel continued.
"If there is trouble here, I am best to face it. I've had time to practice with my powers, you have not, Aierow. Besides, I need someone here to guard the ship just in case."
Aierow looked down sadly.
Angel smiled warmly as she walked over two her, bending down on one knee and lifting Aierow's chin with her hand.
"Do not be saddened, Aierow. You are in no condition to be fighting if something happens....and I too feel what you did."
"I do not think it wise for you to be seen, I fear you all will be in danger if you are discovered. Will you do this for me?"
Aierow slowly nodded, causing Angel to smile.
"That's my girl. I won't be gone too long, I promise."
She then got up and looked down at the trio.
"If they help us, the workers will have to come inside the ship to fix it. Because of this, you guys must be hidden from sight and sense."
Angel picked up Aierow and sat her on the bed with the twins.
"Now, I will cast a spell to fool their eyes and mind, but we can still see each other. You can move about the ship, just be careful and not touch the beings, do you understand me."
"Yes." The trio said as one.
Angel nodded and held her hand out, palm towards them, and said, "Fir asnia!"
Aierow felt a tingling sensation course through her body, then disappear.
Aierow blinked.
"Did it work?" She asked curiously, looking up at Angel.
She nodded.
"I should go now, they will start to wonder what I'm up to. Later."
Angel started walking out to the exit, but was stopped by a hand grabbing hers, it was Aierow.
"Aierow?"
"Angel.." Aierow cut her off.
"Please be careful, I worry for you."
Angel smiled and nodded, and Aierow released her hand.
"Good luck." She said, Angel flashing her a peace sign back at her as she left the ship.
**********************
Angel walked down the ramp and stepped onto the ground, looking around at all the metal 'junk' around her.
"Boy..." She whispered with a smirk.
"Sunny would be in mechanic heaven if she saw all this junk."
Junk was everywhere, all kinds of tools and pieces of ships were scattered throughout the large hangar.
She then noticed a humanoid turtle creature walking her way.
"Greetings." He said, spreading his arms wide in a welcoming manner.
"Welcome to Kobalta Vessel Repairing Station, where anything can be fixed for the right price!" He boasted proudly.
Angel nodded. "Then you must be Kobalta, am I right?"
He looked surprised, then smiled and laughed.
"Clever eye you got there, Young Missy. It is true, I am Kobalta. It seems your vessel is quite a wreak. I assume you need repairs?"
Angel nodded silently, causing him to grin.
"Well, then! Why don't we head to my office and discuss the repairs and payment?"
She nodded again, following the Kobalta down the hangar.
**********************
As they walked down to his office, Angel heard something similar to a chain rattling somewhere.
She silently looked around, but could not find the source of the sound.
But before she could locate it, they reached his office.
It was just a small building that also looked like it was made from various pieces of junk. The inside was no better, she took one glance and focused on Kobalta.
"So, Miss, what are ya lookin to do?" He asked as he sat in his seat.
"I'm on a long journey, Mr. Kobalta, and I need my ship to be able to handle long distances, even with not a lot of fuel. I have to have speed and good evasion capabilities, along with adequate weapons. The armor on my ship is quite old, so that will have to be replaced, along with some of the wiring in my systems."
"Basically, Miss, is you need the works?" Kobalta stated curiously.
"Yes." She answered shortly.
He sat back in his chair as Angel continued.
"And I don't want no shabby work. No rookies working on my ship."
"Hmm..." Kobalta laced his fingers together in thought, staring straight at Angel, she never wavered.
"This work you require is quite large.
A large job like this will cost you a pretty penny."
Angel knew he would say this and, hiding her disgust at his greediness, reached into her pocket and pulled out a small bag.
She then tossed the bag at his, saying as he caught it, "This should be enough to pay for the repairs and for a reliable mechanic."
Kobalta opened the bag and his eyes widened imensely, shining at all the money in the bag.
He quickly tied it back up and stuffed it in his pocket, saying, "Yes, Miss, I'll get my best mechanic on the job right away. Is there anything else you need, Miss?"
"No. But may I take a look around, Mr. Kobalta. It's been a long time since I've seen such a fine repairing station such as this one." She lied.
Truthfully, this place looked like a glorified dump. And it sickened her, but she was curious about the feeling of something calling her and that sound from earlier.
Kobalta's eyes widened in joy.
"Oh, yes! Yes you may, Miss. And please, tell others of Kobalta's fine Vessel Repairing Station!"
Angel nodded, even though she wouldn't, going out the door when he opened it for her.
**********************
Angel roamed around everywhere she was allowed, but still could not figure out where the sound or feeling was coming from.
As she made her way back to the hanger and was heading to her ship, she heard the sound and felt that feeling at the same time.
'Wha ' She thought, turning to her left, but ceased all at exactly what caught her attention.
There, not a hundred yards from her, was a sun orange (yellow orange) robot monkey with pinkish red eyes.
'Sunny!?' She thought, confused.
'Why is she here of all places?!'
**********************
But what angered her, was the collar around her neck, a chain running from it, to a clamp on the ground.
That, and all the injuries all over her body.
Angel silently made her way to the monkey, who was busy fixing a support beam of the station, humming a merry tune.
Angel couldn't help but smile.
This was so like Sunny. No matter what happened, she was always so cheerful and positive.
When she reached the sun orange monkey, she quietly spoke so no one but them could hear.
"Sunny."
She stopped what she was doing and looked at Angel confused.
"Did you just speak to me?" She asked confused, yet her voice still held a cheerful tone.
Angel smiled. "Yes I did, Sunny."
Sunny's eyes grew wide.
"Wow! You can understand me?! And you know my name!! COOL!!" She screeched happily, causing Angel to slap her hand over Sunny's mouth.
"Shh! Be quiet, Sunny! They don't know I can understand you!"
She instantly calmed down, and Angel removed her hand.
"How?" Was all Sunny said.
Angel smiled warmly.
"Because you are my sister, one of seven robot monkeys like yourself."
Sunny looked confused. "But...why can't I remember that?"
Angel sighed sadly and told her the same as with Aierow.
**********************
By the end of it, Sunny's eyes were the size of dinner plates.
"Wow!" Was all she could mutter.
This caused Angel to chuckle, but it was soon replaced by a frown.
"Why are you here, Sunny? How did you find this place?"
She shrugged, then turned back to her work, picking up a rusted wrench that was cracked almost in half.
"I don't remember, Angel. I just woke up here and now I work on the things the man says to."
"But don't you want to do anything else. What about coming with me and finding our other siblings?"
The wrench slipped on the bolt and clattered to the floor, and Sunny looked up at Angel in disbelief.
"I...Uh...But...We..." Sunny wasn't able to create a complete though, her mind was spinning so fast.
She swallowed the large lump in her throat, squeaking out, "B But....I don't know."
"I know this is all you've know for so long, but you were destined for something much greater than working it a crummy fix it shop in the middle of nowhere. And I'm pretty sure anything is better than someone beating you....that's where you got your injuries, didn't you?"
Sunny looked wide eyed. "I...Uh...No!"
Angel knew she was lying, and so did Sunny.
"I know you owe him for giving you a purpose, but this life isn't right for you. I need you....we need you, Sunny. Our brothers and/or sisters need you. Besides, if you come with us, you'll get to see what's beyond these walls....and get to work on so many knew things with your vast mechanical skills."
Sunny's eyes widened as they sparkled in delight.
"Really?"
Angel nodded, causing a HUGE smile to break out on Sunny's face. But then it fell, confusing Angel.
"But.." Sunny said sadly.
"How are we gonna get me outta here? The boss won't let me go that easy, he really wants my fixing skills."
Angel smiled.
"You just let me worry about that, Sunny. Is there anything you have that you'll want to take?"
Sunny shook her head.
"No. When I woke up, I don't think I had anything with me."
Her eyes then widened.
"Wait! I had a red bow with a thing shaped like a sun on it! He took it from me before I started working."
Angel nodded.
"Where is it now?"
Sunny looked down, thinking hard.
"Hmm....I think he took it into his office thing. It's hard to remember."
Angel smiled, placing her hand on Sunny's shoulder and drawing her attention to her.
"Don't worry about it, Sunny. I'll get your stuff back, this I promise you."
Sunny nodded, then looked behind Angel in worry.
Angel already knew Kobalta was coming, and stood up to watch him cross the hanger in her direction.
He looked irritated and confused, but Angel spoke before he could.
"Such a cute creature you have, Mr. Kobalta. I'm envious."
He looked at her wide eyed, but she continued before he could speak.
"I'm jealous, what's her name? And where did you get such a magnificent creature? It must've been hard acquiring her?"
He seemed to stumble over his words, startled and embarrassed at the praise directed at him from such a beautiful girl.
"Uh...her name's Salifer. I...uh...found her."
Angel mentally blanched at the horrible name, but played along with her ruse.
"Oh, wow! What an adorable name! You must be quite lucky? How did you find her?"
He seemed to compose himself, smiling a little as he answered.
"I found her drifting through space, unconscious, when I went out to get some more tools for the station. I brought her back here. When she awoke, she seemed to be frightened of everything. But she didn't seem afraid of the ships or tools. We found her messing with some parts and tools one day. We were quite surprised when that little gizmo she made could cut solid metal like a hot knife through butter. From then on, we taught her everything we knew about mechanic work, then sent her to work on the vessels."
Kobalta puffed out his chest and spoke with pride.
"She's the best mechanic we've got."
Angel's eyes sparkled with false delight, too bad he couldn't tell.
"Oh! Does that mean she's going to be working on my ship?!"
He blinked in surprise. "Huh?"
"You said you were going to put the 'best mechanic' to work on my ship. And you just said she was the 'best'. So, does that mean she's gonna work on my ship?"
He rubbed his scaley hands under his chin.
"Hmm...I dunno.."
Angel clasped her hands together as if she was going to pray, using her ultimate weapon against him.....the puppy dog eyes.
"Oh please, Mr. Kobalta! Please let her work on my ship! I'll pay extra!"
Just like she thought. After he heard her say she would pay extra, she saw his greedy eyes glimmer.
"Hmm...ok! You've got yourself a deal, Missy."
The two shook hands and both glanced down at the sun orange monkey. One in greed, the other in warmth and deviousness.
**********************
Angel walked into the ship, instantly greeted by a worried Aierow.
"Are you ok, Angel? I sensed some distress coming from you a moment ago."
Angel smiled down at the second in command, chuckling a little at her overprotectiveness.
"I'm fine, Aierow. There's no need to worry just yet."
Aierow looked at her curiously and worriedly. "Yet?"
Angel nodded, then proceeded to tell her everything that happened.
**********************
"...And then I came back to the ship." Angel finished, munching on one of the sandwich bars she swiped off of a pig mechanic. He was fat enough, he wouldn't miss it.
Aierow looked down, rubbing her chin with her hand in thought as her elbow was held by her other hand against her stomach (thinking pose).
"So..one of our siblings are trapped here by this...Kobalta? A greedy, humanoid turtle being who abuses her and only craves money. And we're going to help break Sunny out and escape before they catch on and attack?"
Angel shrugged. "That's basically it."
Aierow dropped her hands to her side and looked straight at Angel, her stare unwavering.
"But my question is....how?"
Angel finished her last bite and stood up, brushing the crumbs off her clothes before focusing back on Aierow.
She stood there like that for a few minutes before a smirk spread across her face.
"I know just how to do that AND get our ship fixed. And this is how we're going to do just that..."

To be continued.....
Here's chapter two of my two-part story. Hope it's not TOO crappy or TOO long. I'm still experimenting with the line setup, so you'll have to excuse it. Comments are greatly appreciated. If you must flame me....please go easy on me, I tried my best....
When they reach the Kobalta Vessel Repairing Station, they found more than just a greedy manager. Now that they've found Sunny, how are they going to help her escape and fix the ship? Stay tuned until the next chapter.
