Et's March which stands for….Merilly…..articulating….rocky…crap…..hamburgers.

It's true! Da internets did told me so! D You do not believe the internets?

Oh guise guess what, I dids a bad mistake last chapter. During Ch…4 I believe, I already introduced Dr. Skellyking (Cause he got his doctorate in Evil) But I liked the one I had in Ch. 6 better so I changed Ch. 4 (I think) A little, as well as edited allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll my chapters. So now they won't make me cringe.

Much.

It was probably around an hour before Chiro finally stood up. The length of time it took to stand up wasn't from his fear actually, he had gotten over that after about five or ten minutes. No, the monkeys had taken turns rubbing his back, thinking he was still terrified. No one, not even Chiro, can resist a back rub.

His back still tingling happily from the aftermath of the marvelous back massage he received, he turned towards the monkeys. They looked at him worriedly, which he returned with a small smile. "I guess I better get cracking, huh?"

The monkeys smiled nervously back.

"What do we do Antauri?!" Sprx panicked, pacing back and forth in Antauri's room. It was late at night, and their little leader was sleeping peacefully in his room. The monkey team was currently residing in the black monkey's room, having a meeting about the recent visit that their menace made to Chiro.

"Shouldn't we have told him who he was? It's obvious that it's Skeleton King." Nova told the second in command, a worried mother tone in her voice.

"He is not ready yet Nova," Gibson spoke up, saving his friend the trouble, "His confidence is low and his self-esteem even lower. If he knew someone much greater then his father or those bullies were after him…"

"Chiro might not be able to handle it?" Otto finished, wrapping his arms around his legs, resting his head on his bent knees.

Antauri nodded and closed his eyes. "After a few more weeks of training, I am hoping he will be ready for this knowledge. But for now, let him become used to this new life."

All the monkeys nodded in agreement, unaware of a certain black haired boy sitting outside the door, his head in his arms.

For the next week, training was in full effect. A schedule began to form during this time and it started out with Chiro waking at about 6:00 in the morning everyday to eat breakfast. Then after those happy moments with his team, he would go to Otto for mechanics training. Chiro picked up quickly, and he was already starting his own project. Under Otto's happy gaze, the black haired boy began his own plans for a machine that would allow other people to understand his team.

After warming up his brain with the mechanical training, he would go on to Gibson's lab. His feelings about these lessons were mixed. It depended on the day, whether Gibson was lecturing or allowing him to mess….work with his chemicals. Chiro liked those days better. Then Sprx would kidnap him and Chiro would really start to have fun.

After a day of watching Sprx handle the controls of the aircraft, Chiro was finally allowed to rise above the clouds. At first Chiro was afraid that he was going to crash the flying object, but Sprx kept a close eye on his handling of the craft and would…calmly instruct him how to do it correctly.

Flashback

"CHIRO! You have to engage the landing gear first!"

"B-But you said you just gently glide into the socket!!"

"You do, AFTER you engage the landing gear!"

"Gwah!!"

"Bwah!!"

That is why there is now a large dent in the side of the robot, which Otto was diligently fixing. After that horrific lesson, Chiro had been forced to go through more training of the mental kind, and never made those kinds of mistakes again.

Lunch time came next, and Chiro was usually eating a lot of healthy foods and carbs in preparation for his next training; fighting. Out of all of his trainings, he enjoyed this one the most. Being able to learn how to protect himself seemed to exhilarate him in ways none of his other trainings seemed to do. The frail boy was slowly beginning to grow a backbone.

After that long session, the boy would quietly wonder down to his second in command's room, where he would relax and learn the ways of the power primate from his mentor. He loved these lessons in a different way then his other trainings. The blue eyed boy felt that he could tell his mentor anything. As they sat in their meditation positions, he would find himself just rambling on and on about his life. The good points of his life were lost to the bad points, but Antauri always listened patiently to whatever Chiro was open to talk about, masking his anger to the people in the boy's stories.

However, the monkeys still didn't know of the nightly escapade the boy had done the night of their meetings. After that night, Chiro barely slept. His mind was filled with what had happened earlier that day and of the information he had just learned. Chiro wanted to ask more about this "Skeleton King" but he was reluctant to tell the monkeys where he was that night. The last thing he wanted was for them to think badly of him

That night, he had made a promise to himself. He promised himself that he would try hard to let what happened in the past, stay in the past. Chiro wanted to become a strong, confident leader for his team, to protect them like they do for him. With his revolve strengthened he had gone to bed that night feeling like a new person.

Chiro smiled confidently as he threw a punch at his sparing partner. Nova dodged only to be pushed aside by a swift kick in her side. She "oofed" quietly as she landed, but quickly got up and grabbed Chiro's fist that was making its way towards her head. Quickly, but still gently, she sent her knee up to the black haired boy's gut. He coughed and backed away, finally collapsing in exhaustion.

Nova smiled gently at the boy catching his breath. During this training time, Nova had been surprised at the progress that her leader made. The Yellow fighter couldn't be prouder of her monkey boy. Besides Sprx who called him "Kid", everyone (except Antauri) had started to affectionately call him Monkey Boy. Gibson said it occasionally when he was in a playful mood.

The yellow monkey looked up at her team mates who were watching through the glass window above. All of them had smiles on their face. In her peripheral vision she saw movement, but was taken by surprise when Chiro suddenly zoomed into her side, faster then he ever had. Nova cried out in surprise and crashed into the wall.

Everyone was silent for a moment, before Chiro burst out laughing. "You should have seen your face!" He cried happily, bending over in his hysterics. Nova smirked and rubbed her head, ignoring the laughter that was reigning above her.

"If you think you're going to get away with that, then you're very wrong Chiro!" She yelled, tackling the boy.

"Gwah!" He cried, before falling into violent laughter as the female monkey started to mercilessly tickle the boy.

Otto and Sprx looked at each other up above, before disappearing from the view of the training room. Sudden battle cries of "Rawr!!!" and "Attack!!" rang out to the left of the two on the floor and both Nova and Chiro were surprised when the green and red monkeys suddenly exploded into the training room and started tickling the boy even harder.

Gibson and Antauri gradually made their way towards the door to the training room where happy laughter (not all from Chiro) made its way through the door. Suddenly, Gibson stopped and turned to the mentor. "Antauri, have you noticed...?"

"Yes Gibson," Antauri interrupted, "I have noticed his sudden progress, and I am amazed myself."

"I never expected his confidence to skyrocket so suddenly." The scientist told him.

"I didn't either, but on the night of our meeting-" A loud rang burst through the air, interrupting Antauri. The monkeys stopped everything and froze. Chiro started and, breathing hard, looked questioningly at his companions, nervous at the grim expressions on their faces.

It was the alarm, and something was happening in the city.

Duun du du du duuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnn. Things are about to get innnnterestinnngg………………………………………………………….

Well, at least I think so, I'm kinda making this up as I go along. XDDDD
