The Chosen One?

--------

A gas emerged behind the unconscious teen as the tubes opened to reveal five sleeping robotic monkeys lying on the cold metal floor.

One in which began to stir awake at the feeling of fresh air. His deep yellow eyes slowly opened only to see everything blurry before his vision clear and revealed the silver metal wall before him.

He was very weak and tired, so were all the others; but he knew what his awakening meant and used all his strength to sit up.

He shut his eyes quickly at the sight of light before feeling a sixth presence with them that wasn't normal. No, this presence had a large portion of the power primate in which at first he thought it was his master Xan.

Opening them quickly, he saw not his teacher but what looked like a little boy with raven black hair wearing a red shirt and jeans lying unconscious next to the power switch.

Not believing what he was seeing, he focused more to feel the teen filled with the power primate.

Antauri stared in aw before hearing the movement of one of his other team mates.

The blue simian moved slowly as he felt himself weak as well. It was as if they had been sleeping for over 50 years and didn't get charged at all; at least, that's what he theorized.

Gibson opened his eyes to see blurriness as well before seeing the command center clearly.

'Who has awakened us?' He wondered as he slowly sat up as well.

"Gibson?" A deep familiar voice called to him.

"Antauri?!" Gibson smiled.

The scientist heard footsteps before seeing his second in command wobbling over.

"Antauri, who has awakened us?"

Antauri smiled before looking at the teen once more.

Gibson followed his gaze to see the boy as well.

------

Chiro felt himself gain control of his eye lids once more and looked around.

'Where am I?' He asked himself and skimmed the area.

'Oh ya, I'm in that big robot…' He tried to move, but felt himself drained and weak.

'I wonder why I can't move that easily.' He pondered before remembering that he needed to be back at the orphanage by eight.

He looked at his watch to see it was already 7:31.

Chiro freaked out and was about to get up when he heard a British male voice.

"A boy?! – Are you sure?"

He froze right where he was. Not only did he not know who or what was behind him but it could be one of those black and white things again.

Antauri sat down next to Gibson as he found it hard to stand.

Gibson noticed this immediately and nodded in understanding. "I'm assuming that we are the only two awake?"

Antauri nodded. "The others shall awake soon." He began. "And when they do, we need to see if we can find out who that boy is and if he's okay."

Gibson looked back at the kid. "So, is he-"

------

Chiro couldn't take it any more. He was going to be late and severely punished if he didn't get back 'home' in time. He stood up as the British voice said 'he' and turned to see the tubes opened and three monkeys sleeping while two were awake.

Gibson froze immediately and Antauri turned to see the teen bolt to the orange tube.

"Wait! – We need to talk to you!" He yelled and attempted to stand up. But Chiro already went down the tube and ran out of the robot.

Both Antauri and Gibson went pale in the face as they knew that they had to search the entire city for this boy.

-------

Chiro ran in a random way through the jungle and didn't look back. He didn't know how long he was out for nor if he was imagining the monkeys talking. But whatever happened, he had to wait until he got back to the orphanage to worry about it.

------

Antauri wobbled over to the computer and tried to turn it on; but no success came. "The wires seem to be all messed up." He turned to Gibson. "We have a LOT of repairs to do if we want to find that boy."

"Boy?!" They heard a familiar voice ask out loud. "What boy?!" Sprx asked as he sat up and faced Antauri.

"There was a boy here not to long ago that woke us up."

Sprx smirked. "Give me a break! A boy couldn't have gotten in here all alone. We have the doors locked."

Antauri looked at Sprx firmly. "Even so, a boy did come in here with resubmits of the power primate."

Sprx frowned at the thought, but didn't say anything else on that subject. "So, are the others awake?"

"I am, but Nova and Otto are still asleep." Gibson replied from his tube. He still didn't have the strength to get out yet.

"Well you can cross me off that list Gibson." A feminine voice said as they all saw Nova walk out of her tube like Antauri.

"Hey Nova, long time no see; well except in my dreams." Sprx flirted.

Nova glared at him before smiling. "I'm not going to punch you for that one. But that's you're only free be."

Antauri smiled at his team before remembering the task at hand. "Nova," He began. "Please awaken Otto so we can begin the repairs to the robot. We must locate the boy that was here previously before someone else we know does."

Nova looked at Antauri questionably before doing what she was told.

"Gibson, can you start analyzing what needs to be fixed?"

He nodded before slowly standing up and heading for the master computer.

"Sprx, can you-"

"Ya ya ya, I'll go get our fighting positions checked out." Sprx finished before heading to his fist rocket first.

Antauri watched him in surprise before returning his attention to Nova and Otto.

"Otto, come on! Wake up!" Nova yelled as she shook the sleeping mechanic.

"Ten more minutes." Otto whispered before turning on his side.

"Oh no you don't!" She said before shaking him more.

Otto finally stirred awake and looked at Nova sadly. "I wanted to sleep more…"

"We've been sleeping enough, in fact, too long I fear." Antauri began. Otto looked at him to see he bore a serious expression.

"Hi Antauri!" He yelled as he ignored his observations.

"Hello, but we need to get the computer up. Do you think you can do that before the end of today?"

"Sure!" He yelled back happily before jumping up and running to the computer unit and taking it apart.

"Nova, can you watch the security cameras to get a picture of the boy?"

"On it!" She shouted back before running to the camera room.

Antauri then got in his meditative position and tried to find the teen's energy signal.

-----

Chiro just kept on running and running as the last rays of the sun were seen.

He looked back at his watch to see that it read 7:45.

'I'm not gonna make it outta here…' He told himself before stopping to take a breather.

He looked around only to see more jungle and darkness everywhere. Chiro began to sway a little but regained himself rather quickly.

He quickly turned to his right as he faintly heard a car drive by and dashed towards it.

At first, Chiro thought that he was running faster than usual, but shook off the question as he reached the some bushes and jumped over them. There he saw he was back in the alley in which he had come from.

'No sign of BT and Glenny, thank goodness.' He said to himself before looking at his beaten-torn up watch.

"7:55!!!!" He screeched before running off again toward the orphanage.

-------

It was fifteen minutes after eight when Chiro got 'home'. There the nurse and the supervisor were there with a belt in their hands.

Chiro gulped and tried to explain what happened to him, but they didn't listen.

The supervisor grabbed Chiro and held him there as the nurse wiped him in the back five harsh times.

He yelped in pain with each strike until he slowly passed out on the fifth.

------

Antauri finally found the energy signal as he felt it fade to a low point.

He trembled in fear and quickly opened his eyes. "Otto, Gibson, do you have the computers up yet?"

"No; the computers were in worse shape than I thought. – But they'll be running tomorrow morning for sure!" Otto smiled proudly before returning to his work.

Antauri sighed both worried and sadly. Gibson caught this immediately.

"What's wrong Antauri?" Antauri looked at Gibson. "I know you well enough to know when you know something is wrong."

"I found the boy's energy signal within the center of the city, but it began to fade…."

Gibson and Otto looked at each other in worry.

"Does that mean he's……."

"Dying, no; but hurting, most definitely."

"Do you think that Skeleton King has awakened yet?" Gibson asked grimly.

Antauri shook his head. "I do not know."

Everyone went silent as Nova came running in with a paper in her hands. "I found it!" She hollered as she held it up to the others. "He looks, young."

"Indeed, he does. – But that doesn't mean he couldn't be the chosen one."

"Uh! He looks so cute!" Otto yelled out happily as he loves kids.

Sprx came down his tube to see what the others were doing when he too saw the picture.

"That's the kid who awoken us?! – He can't be the one Antauri, he's too young!" Sprx inputted.

"Well, I also need to show you guys something that will really make you believe." Nova said before leading everyone to the camera room.

------

"You see! He opened the door just by touching it!" Nova pointed out as they all watched as Chiro touched the foot of the robot and the entrance open.

"What's even more proof is that if you look closely, you can see a little green light under his hand." Antauri pointed out as they watched the clip again. "There's no doubt that he has the power primate."

Sprx crossed his arms and looked away in defeat. "Alright already! I was wrong and you guys were right about him HAVING the power primate. But that still doesn't mean he's the chosen one!"

"That's why we need to test him once we find and secure him before Skeleton King finds out that we've awaken."

--------

In another galaxy, darkness awakens in the depths of an evil ship made up of the Citadel of Bone. His evil penetrating red eyes glow as his evil laughs filled the air.

"So those filthy primates awaken once more." He began as he looked into his staff to see Shugazoom city. "So the chosen one has finally awakened as well." He watched as the image changed to see the monkeys looking into the computer screen. "And he's all alone, lost from those who are willing to protect him. – I will get to him before they do." He laughed as he saw the recording of Chiro entering the robot and quickly commanded his ship to begin a course for Shugazoom City.
