The monkeys: (continues chasing me all the way to Japan!)


Sylvia

Fiddling with the computers, trying to pinpoint Chiro's location, Gibson was hard at work. It had been hours since Chiro's runaway and the team were, as a child would describe it, as crazy insane cats that came out of the freezing cold waters of the ocean!

"Did you get a lock on his location?" Nova asked, fear trailing in her voice. Gibson shook his head causing the rest of the team to sigh with worry and woe.

Long agonizing hours of searching for Chiro came once more. The Fallen had taken his communicator, but it was most likely to malfunction or he torn it off while he was running for his dear life. The child was scared and fear blinded his eyes, so he would run far from the team and away from the soldiers.

The boy had yet to explain who these soldiers were, seeing that something always interrupted him before he had the chance to even begin to speak.

Hope began to die down in the robot as more hours of pinpointing and fiddling had come and gone. The feeling of fear that the soldiers captured him started to fill the empty space that hope once filled. If one looked into the team's eyes, one could see nothing but a hollow shell of despair.

Brad was pacing around the room; calling the soldiers every none curse he knew, repeating the same ones over again only with a harsher tone. Nikki was standing beside Gibson, watching the blue monkey as he looked carefully for her brother. As soon as Chiro left, Nova cried and screamed Chiro's name. Sprx- as usual -hid his fear and acted as he would any other day. But, he could be seen trying to fight tears away from falling. Otto was sulking over his missing friend. He was eager to go back and poke his wings (Silly little monkey!). And, of course, Gibson was pouring blood and sweat, metaphorically speaking, into his search for the Fallen.

Then...there was Antauri.

He was silent for the past hours, avoiding his team and their sad, worried faces. Though the silver monkey never showed the most noticeable amounts, he cared deeply for Chiro. Helping him sleep at night was only a small morsel of his true fatherly love. If he could, he'd wish to be the boy's father. He wanted the child to be his, knowing that that innocent young lad was his own. Antauri would give anything, anything at all.

But what he truly wanted now was just for the boy to be safe. He started to run after Chiro as he ran away from them. The spiritual leader of the team would have ran all the way to Chiro, if it were not for the soldier that whacked him with the butt of his gun. It wasn't a necessarily hard hit, but it was hard enough to knock him unconscious.

The team had to take him to the Sick Bay quickly before they could continue their search for the Fallen. As soon as the silver monkey woke up, he was screaming as he demanded release to search for Chiro. He didn't know it - or maybe he hid it from the others very well - but the monkeys knew of how much Antauri cared for Chiro. They see him giving the boy chores to do, getting his training done, finding ways for him to sleep at night...

"Stupid, retarded, little sons of the devils! They'll be killed! I swear, I'll..." Brad's threat trailed as he continued to scream at the top of his lungs, calling the soldiers more nasty names his eleven year old tongue would let him use. This was causing Nikki to become quite frustrated.

"Hey Brad," the brown haired boy stopped mid sentence as he waited for her to speak. "Will you can it? We get it: the soldier's are jackasses, end of story!" Brad huffed a few times before walking towards one of the arm chairs and slinked into it.

"Ugh...This just isn't working! At this rate we'll never find Chiro!" Gibson screamed as he banged his head against the controls to the screen. Everyone sighed sadly at the blue scientist's shouts.

"Hey, Antauri," Brad asked innocently as he walked up to the silver monkey. Antauri didn't answer the eleven year old; just ignored him as he stayed in his daze. By the looks of it, Brad didn't care if the monkey wanted him to leave, he was asking his question and Antauri was going to answer it! "You think you can use that Power Primate thing and lock onto Chiro's Power Primate?"

Sadly, Antauri shook his head.

For the first time in what seemed to be years, the silver monkey spoke up. "I tried that hours ago. His signature is being blocked by a strong source of power; very familiar to magic." Brad winced at the word magic, causing the silver monkey to notice. "Something wrong, Bradley?"

"Nope, just worried." He replied rather quickly. Brad the walked away from the monkey, trying to avoid his stern gaze of the spiritual monkey.

"I say we go on foot and look for the kid. I'm not gonna wait here all night!" Sprx shouted harshly.

"Sprx, we can't start looking for him if we have no clue where he is!" Nova pointed out, causing the hot-shot pilot to blush in embarrassment. "Gibson, did you get a trace on his-"

"I'll tell you when I do!" He screamed rather fierce at the golden warrior. "Now leave me to my work! If I get even the smallest trace then I'll tell you, but for now, SHUT UP!"

Gibson's shout got the team to go into an uncomfortable silence. Nova frowned as she walked away from the blue scientist. Then, without warning, they heard the sound of someone coming up the transport tube.

Their faces lit up as they thought it was Chiro coming up and surprising them. But, the strange thing was, no one was there. Confused, Nova and Otto walked, cautiously, to the tube. "Who's there? Chiro, is that you-"

"Nope!" A voice - stern and and feminine. The monkeys, Brad and Nikki could make out that the body shape was femal - obviously not Chiro! - and readied themselves with their weapons.

"Who are you? State your business and we won't-"

"Look, I'm here to get some help!" The female commanded harshly; her voice practically freezing the monkeys and Co. She sighed and stepped out of the shadows. "I want to help look for Chiro too." She stated plainly.

Otto and Sprx's jaw dropped by the sight of the female. She was average size, short black hair and wore a blue uniform - much like the soldiers. HOT STUFF! Sprx and Otto yelled in their minds. Hearts flew and drool fell to the floor as the pair kept staring at the woman.

"Oh boy..." A quick slap in the faces made Otto and Sprx come back to reality. They shook their heads and looked around to see Nova smirking. "You guys'll fall for any girl!"

The two grinned, sheepishly, as they built their guard back up.

"Who are you and how do you know about Chiro?" Antauri asked, his features darkening slightly.

"Well," She boomed, almost causing Brad and Nikki to fall back a bit. "My name is Sylvia and as for knowing about Chiro...Yeesh! That'll be a long story!" She acted so 'at home' around the team, as if they weren't new to her at all. "OK, you see...Chiro's a...um...well..."

"A Fallen Angel...?" Antauri finished. This caused Sylvia to blink in astonishment. She opened her mouth to speak but Antauri placed two fingers over her lips. "He told us the story of the Fallen. No need to explain that." He placed his fingers off her lips and let her speak.

"Phew, that's good! I hate telling that old story again. It gets pretty damn annoying!" Sylvia stated loudly.

"How 'bout you start explaining who you are!?" Sprx added, still having a bit of a dazed look on his face from the beauty of Sylvia. He was beginning to drool again.

"I'm Sylvia- I'm guessing that part's pretty clear! ...Well...you know about the soldiers, right?" The team nodded slowly. Though they didn't know the true intentions pf the soldiers, they experienced enough to see that they were evil, black hearted humans. Then, Sylvia cleared her throat. She opened her mouth to speak, then clamped it shut, showing that she hesitated to say something.

"What's wrong?" Otto asked innocently. Sylvia smiled sweetly at the green monkey as she sighed before answering.

"Um...well, this might blow the whole 'trust me thing'."

"We hardly trust you now!" Brad screamed as he crossed his arms and huffed. Sylvia blushed a bit before trying to figure out how she would break this to Chiro's team.

"Well...You see...Um..." She seemed too childish to be an adult.

"C'mon, spit it out!" Nova and Nikki urged the strange to say.

"I...I use ot be a..."

"A what?" Gibson said, forcefully.

Sylvia sighed and spoke softly, "I...use to be a...a soldier..." Her words left the team to a very uncomfortable silence.


Chiro screamed as he was pushed into a cell. The light intensified, causing the poor boy to shield his hurt eyes. He didn't want to believe it, or relive the painful memories of his past, but that started to seem impossible.

Throwing his hands over his eyes, he weeped as the hurting memories of what happened long ago flooded back into his mind. But, what was even worse to remember, was how similar his situation was to Dexter's. He was captured, he was taken...he died.

Chiro tried best to shake any further thoughts of what would - was - going to happen, though, it seemed useless. His thoughts went further and further; he wondered how it would be like...to have death wrap herself around him. He sank to his knees, rocked himself, and cried non-stop tears.

But he knew, the tears would clear...They would clear when they took him to her...The boy was fully aware of the danger he was in, he knew hope would vanish in the depths of sorrow...

...The Fallen knew he would never see his beloved team ever again...
