Me: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, my mom grounded me for...(anime vein, looks at a garbage truck full of broken clocks)I DONT EVEN REMEMBER HOW LONG!
Sprx: I don't get it, You're 16, you're taking college classes while in high school, you get straight A's, the teachers love you, you took care of eight kids on July 3rd and you are in the top 10 students in your classes.
Nova: Five
Sprx: Huh?
Nova: She's in the top five.
Sprx: Whatever, why would she ground you?
Antauri: Take a look at her kitchen and you'll understand.
Otto: What happened to the kitchen?
Gibson: She was babysitting two of her second cousins and...they got a hold of the brownie mix.
Crystal: Mmmm, brownies.
Chiro: I still dont get it.
Me: (eye twitching and growling) THEY TRASHED THE KITCHEN AND NEARLY BLEW UP THE OVEN!
Sprx: And you got in trouble why?
Me: (growls) Because I was supposed to be watching them, but I had to take my dog out because my brother was too lazy to do so.
Sprx: Oh...
Me: And about last chapter, Jinmay was the last person in the singles division, I just had such major writer's block that I didn't bother putting anyone else in. And I don't own any songs I use.
Everyone: On with the story!
The Competition part two: Double songs and the Closing Act
Intermission
"Hey, I wonder were Crystal is?" asked Sprx.
"I know. Follow me." said Chiro.
The black-eyed trio followed him to backstage. The guards knew them so they were allowed to pass. Chiro knocked on a door.
"Who is it?" came Crystal's voice.
"Your loving brother and three adorable monkeys who wish to see you." answered Chiro.
Crystal openned the door with a smirk, "Chiro, I'll tell you what I told Sprx this morning, you are so full of yourself. What is it you wanted to talk about?"
Chiro openned his mouth to speak, but was interupted(sp?) by Gibson,"Well, to start matters off, where are Antauri and Nova? Chiro said you had them recording the show, but for who?"
Crystal giggled, "For you first question: Follow me, and your second question: It's for my mentor back on OmoiBlaze."
"Oh."
Crystal lead them to another door and knocked three times, paused, then knocked two more times. A muffled 'Hold on.' was heard, then alot of shuffling, then the unlatching of the door. Crystal openned the door to find Antauri typing on a keyboard with lots of screens around it and Nova holding some paper work and what looked like a security camera. There was a giant window on the opposite wall that showed the whole ice rink below.
"How's it going?" asked Crystal.
"The cameras ran smoothly through the first portion of the competition, but then camera 2 shut down on us when we stopped recording." answered Nova, getting straight to the point. Otto and Gibson walked over, Otto took the camera and Gibson took the papers. They whispered amongst themselves, Otto pushing and poking a few thing untilhe finally said, "All that happened was that the energy couplers came loose and the memory data chip came loose as well." (Me: I have no idea what I just said. Sprx: You and me both.)
"Oh. Thanks guys." she took the camera and went to reinstall it.
"Is everything else running smooth Antauri?" asked Crystal.
"As smooth as things can get if the cameras don't act up." the black monkey answered.
When Nova got back,Chiro had an idea, "Hey, how about Sprx, Gibson, Otto, and I taking over recording while you and Nova watch the rest of the show."
"I don't know Chiro. Can you handle it?"Antauri asked.
"Gibson does this stuff all the time with Sprx right next to him. And if there are any camera falters, Otto and I can fix them right up." stated Chiro.
"That's a great idea bro." said Crystal, hugging her brother. "They'll be right underneath you in another box. Come on you two we got ten minutes."
The gold and black monkeys nodded and, unknown by the other four, both grabbed a bag of their corresponding colors from the corner and left with Crystal.
"Do you think they suspect anything yet?" asked Nova.
"If Chiro's still as dense as he was when we were little, then I don't think you two should worry." replied Crystal.
"Yea, says the girl who has performed in front of them before and won't get teased." said Antauri.
"Don't worry, just...imagine that they're all bald...or in their underwear. That's how I got through my first competition." said Crystal. Both monkeys shivered slightly, but smiled at the thought of three bald black-eyed monkeys.
Round two
Crystal was back in the the center of the rink, "Okay, is everyone ready for the couples division!" LOUD CHEERS. "Okay, here's how it works, each couple will be skating to not only one song, but two. They need to be able to flow from one song to the next. We may even have some singers in the mix.Ready? HERE WE GO WITH ROUND TWO!" (Me: Wow, sounds like a wrestling match.)
Several couples did very well, but they still bored the four recorders.
"Hey kid, good call to have us come up here. I would have fallen asleep back at our box seats."
"Thanks Sprx." the teen replied.
They put their eyes back on the screen as Crystal came back out. "Okay everyone, as exciting as this competition has been, we are down to our last couple. You know them, yet you don't. Two of your saviors and your friends. Don't judge them just because they are doing something they love, judge them by how much passion they put into their techniques. They will also be singing their songs. Now without further adu (sp?), may I present to you...NOVA AND ANTAURI OF THE SUPER ROBOT MONKEY TEAM HYPER FORCE GO!"
The Crowd roared, applauding their heroes. Nova came out wearing an outfit with cobalt blue flames on it while Antauri wore one with silver flames on it. The four recorders had their jaws dropped as the two took their places on the rink, Antauri on one side, Nova in the center. (Again, what comes after the verse is what they do) (Here's to you, Blackrose and Meeca. The Start of Something New from High School Musical)
Antauri
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Antauri slowly skated backwards toward Nova.
Nova
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart (oh)
To all the possibilities (oh)
Nova looked at her hands, then twirled in a circle with an outstretched hand, only to have it caught by Antuari, pulling her to look in his eyes.
Both
I know
Nova
That something has changed
They pushed away from each other, but their hands still locked together
Both
Never felt this way
Nova
And right here tonight
They suddenly pushed their hands apart and flipped backwards simutaniously(sp?).
Both
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
They skated backwards, doing an occasional spin and flip here and there. Then they skated sideways back-to-back.
Nova
I feel in my heart
Antauri
Feel in my heart
Both
The start of something new
They took each others hands in a tango position before Antauri liftedNova up, flipped her, and set her back on the ice.
Antauri
Oh, yeah,
Now who'd of ever thought that
They skated backwards away six feet from each other.
Both
We'd both be here tonight (oh)
Nova (Antauri)
Yeah, and the world looks so much brighter (brighter, brighter)
They flipped to each others side and took each others hands.
Both
Oh, with you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
Nova
I know it for real
Antauri flipped Nova over him.
Both
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart (feel it in my heart)
Nova
The start of something new
Both did a quad spin and landed with perfect grace.
Antauri
I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me (whoaaaooh yeah)
Both
I didn't know it before
They held each others hands and began to spin around rapidly.
Nova
But now it's easy to
Both
See (Ohh)
The two launched apart by jumped out of the spin and doing a flip.
Both
It's the start of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes (looking in your eyes)
I feel in my heart (feel in my heart)
That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
They sincronized their flips, spins, twirls, and jumps with perfect timing.
Nova
To be here with you (oh)
Both
And now looking in your eyes (looking in your eyes)
Antauri flipped Nova up, but this time held her up.
Nova (Antauri)
I feel in my heart (feel in my heart)
Nova
The start of something new
Antauri
The start of something new
Antauri let Nova down to the ice slowly
Both
Start of something new
The song ended but another started up(I Can't Take My Eyes Off Of Youthebonussong on the High School Musical Sountrack)The two pushed apart and started to skate around the ice.
Antauri
Ya never know what you're gonna feel, oh
Ya never see it comin' suddenly it's real
Nova
Oh, never even crossed my mind, no
That I would ever end up here tonight
They met in the center of the ice. As impossible as it seemed, the two began to dance on the ice as if they weren't wearing any skates at all.
Both
All things change
When you don't expect them to
No one knows
What the future's gonna do
I never even noticed
That you've been there all along
They spun away from each other again. Both swung their left legs foreward, went into a 540 spin, and landed on their right skate backwards.
Both
I can't take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can't take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true
They skated around the ice hand-in-hand, eyes locked, neither missing a beat or losing eye contact.
Antauri
Yeah, we got a good thing goin' on
Nova
Oh, right here is right where we belong
Both
You never really know what you might find
Now all I see is you and I
You're everything I never knew
That I've been looking for
Antauri threw her up, she landed on his outstretched hands upside down with precise balance.
Both
I can't take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can't take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true
Antauri flipped her again and she landed gracefully on the ice. They resumed their sweet skating tango.
Both
Can't take my eyes off of you
Oh, oh, oh yeah
So let the music play
Can't take my eyes off of you
Yeah, the feeling's getting' stronger
And I never ever felt this way
They made tight twirls on the ice, then they flipped out without missing a beat. Then they went to opposite sides before facing each other.
Alright, I see everything
In your eyes. . . Oh yeah
Alright, something's happening
Cause everyone's around but
You're the only one I see
They both rushed toward the other, gaining speed and jumped into a 1080 spin, passing each other in midair and stunning the whole stadium.
Both
I can't take my eyes off of you
I know you feel the same way too, yeah
I can't take my eyes off of you
All it took . . . Was one look
For a dream come true
They began dancing again, mixing dance moves with skate techniques with no flaws.
I can't take my eyes off of you
Feelings like I never knew
I can't take my eyes off of you
From the start. . . Got my heart
Yeah, you do
Can't take my eyes off you
Nova flipped over Antauri's back and landed in his arms bridal style. Then he rolled her right into a spin and they stopped holding hands in a 'ta-da' pose.
The crowd exploded into cheers. Both monkeys bowed and headed off the ice. Once off the ice, neither could contain their joy any longer. Nova squealed with joy (gasp) and Antauri pumped his fist in the air (double gasp). Both hugged the other tightly, until air was needed and everyone was needed back on the ice for the winners.
Once everyone was quiet, Crystal spoke, "Well, we have much talent in this room. But only three people get to be rewarded with the single's and couple's first prize trophies. Now, let's see who you voted as our winners. For singles division, it's...JINMAY!" (well duh, who else) Cheers slowly quieted down before 'Cana' continued.
"The couples were the hardest to decision, but you voted...for the couples division winners...to be... NOVA AND ANTAURI!" (Again, duh) The cheers were deafening. In the recording room, Sprx and Gibson were hugging (triple gasp) and Otto was thrown in the air by Chiro.
Cyrstal calmed the crowd down, "That ends the Blazing Ice Competition. Thank you all for coming. And as an extra treat, I'm having a concert tonight. All are welcome. Hope to see you there."
Everyone cheered as they left.
Outside
Jinmay, Crystal, Nova, and Antauri all walked out of the stadium in their winter outfits when they heard the others call to them.
"You guys never told us you were in the competition!" said Otto.
"We thought we'd surprise you."answered Nova.
"Surprise is right. You two were amazing!" yelled Sprx.
"Guys?" Crystal said, gaining their attention, " If nobody remembers, we have a concert to prepare for."
"That's right. Let's go!" shouted Chiro.
Later that evening as the sun was setting
Everyone was in the enormous town square where a large stage was present. There were streamers everywhere and gigantic speakers on opposite sides of the stage.
Backstage, the hyper force was ready to go. Crystal was wearing blue jeans, a crimson red tanktop, white converse shoes, and a brown jacket with the hyper force logo on the back (It was a gift from the team). Chiro was wearing blue jeans, a black T-shirt, white/blue sneakers, and an orange jacket with the hyper force logo on the back. Jinmay had on a pair of blue jeans, a pink tanktop, baby blue sneakers, and a turquoise jacket with the hyper force logo on the back. The monkeys, instead of their snow jackets, were wearing a jacket of their respective colors that had the hyper force logo on the back.
"Everybody ready?" questioned Crystal.
"Roger willco." said Otto. Everyone stared at him, "What? It's something I picked up somewhere. Or was it Roger willgo?" Everyone sweatdropped.
"If everyone's ready, let's go." stated Chiro. Everyone (How many times will I use that word.) left, except Chiro and Crystal.
"Hey, Chiro?" Crystal asked.
"Yea?" the teen male replied.
"Do you remember that song we sang when we were kids, that country song?" she questioned.
"Of course, I listen to it almost every night before I go to sleep. Why?" he said.
"Can we sing it? I have it programmed into the machine to play if you want to." she answered.
"Sure, why not?" And with that they both left.
On stage
The crowd roared as the hyper force came on stage. Crystal had given them each a head mic (you know, the ones that go over your ears and the mic goes down your jaw line to rest in front of your mouth, those mics?) so they didn't have to hold a hand-held mic.
"Hello again, Shuggazoom city. I won't bore you with a long speech, so let me just say that tonight, we are all gonna have a ball and shake it into the night. Ya hear me?" Cheers. "All right. Let's rock and roll, but first, a song that my brother and I sang when we were kids. Who Says You Can't Go Home by Bon Jovi." The music started andthe twins began to sing and dance.
Chiro: I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place
I was looking for something I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known
Crystal: Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
Both: I been there, done that and
I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown,
Saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone
Chiro: Who says you can't go home
Both: Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, Chiro: who says you can't go home
Both: Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
Crystal: I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road
Chiro: With every step I take I know that I'm not alone
Both: You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home
Chiro: These are my streets, the only life I've ever known,
Both: who says you can't go home
Both: Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
Both: I been there, done that and I ain't looking that
It's been a long long road
Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes
Chiro: It doesn't matter where you are, Crystal: it doesn't matter where you go
Chiro: If it's a million miles aways Both: or just a mile up the road
Both: Take it in, take it with you when you go,
who says you can't go home
Both: Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
Who says you can't go home
Once the song ended, the two bowed and the crowd cheered, "Cana, Chiro, Cana, Chiro."
Crystal smiled, "Since everyone liked that song, let's bring out Antauri, Nova, and Jinmay to sing this next song with us." Three reluctant person/monkeys where forcable pushed out by three black-eyed monkeys, "It's called All I Can Do by Jump5." The music started. The three reluctant beings began to get in the groove and all five danced in perfect unison.
All: Its like I got nothing to do but think about you
(Boys: All I can do, All I can do, All I can do)
Crystal: Every day is a new day
And I don't have to pretend
All my friends think I'm crazy
But I don't want this to end
Nova: When I have the chance I want to say to you
Wishing I could take back what I put you through
I'll never do it again
We're like oil and water still we somehow mix
And what used to be broken is somehow fixed
It's hard to explain
Jinmay: I know some people say
That opposites attract
If that's the truth then we
We will be together forever
All: It's like I got nothing to do but think about you
I've got all the time in the world
If you look at my heart, you'll know from the start
That it's all I can do not to think about you
Crystal: I gave you good reason
To walk out that door
Nova: Let me tell you I've learned a thing or two
And I'm so amazed at the things you do
Girls: Now don't let me go, oh, no
Jinmay: I know some people say
That opposites attract
If that's the truth then we
We're meant to be together forever
All: It's like I got nothing to do but think about you
I've got all the time in the world
If you look at my heart, you'll know from the start
That it's all I can do not to think about you
Jinmay: I know some people say
That opposites attract
If that's the truth then we
We belong together forever
All: It's like I got nothing to do but think about you
I've got all the time in the world
(Nova: Yea, Yea, Yea)
If you look at my heart, you'll know from the start
That it's all I can do not to think about you
It's like I got nothing to do but think about you
I've got all the time in the world
(Nova: Yea, Yea, Yea)
If you look at my heart, you'll know from the start
That it's all I can do not to think about you
When they finished, they all had big smiles on their faces, even Antauri. The crowd cheered for more. So the whole team sang and danced into the night.
In outer space
Within the Citadel of Bone, Skeleton King was watching the concert merriment in utter disgust. The screen zoomed in on Crystal and Chiro. "So my experiment is the boy's sister. This makes things much easier and more delightful." He smirked, "Let it be known, my pawn, if I can't have you, than no one can." He destroyed the screen and laughed evilly.
Me: FINALLY I'M DONE. What's SK gonna do to the hyper force? More important, what's gonna happen to Chiro and Crystal?
Nova: Why are you asking so many questions?
Me: Why are you asking me a question?
Nova: I'm just wondering: will you just shut up and stop asking questions?
Me: When are you gonna admit your feelings for Antauri?
(Nova goes silent and red)
Me: That's what I thought. So the Blazing Ice Competition (B.I.C.)has finally come to a close, but what will happen next? Sorry it took so long, but I'll update as soon asI get back from my family reunion in Ohio. I'm just wonder: WHY DO I HAVE TO GO! Bye
Everyone: Read and Review. Hugs to all.
Me: (thinking outloud) I hope I didn't leave anything out. (gets pummeled by everyone for not keeping my mouth shut) OW!
