Me: Here's chapter ten and we'll start off with what the gang is doing back at the base! Ape escape belong to Sony and Saru, Ember, Blue tail, Storm, and Crystal belong to me! (along with the two beings in the last chapter!)
Storm: And hope you enjoy this moment. God, no wonder Specter usually gets this spot, its SO boring that he probably doesn't care!
Me: Try putting a copyright description in every chapter you write! T-T ( Seriously! What's up with that stuff!)
Chapter 10: Let go of the past, the pain
Natalie looked out the window, watching the grass writhing with lack of life. Casi came in with cups of milk in a red tray." Don't worry about Spike and the others, Natalie. I know that they can stop this disaster!" she said cheerful as the girl took the cup, gazing at the warm liquid inside." Its not them I worry about. I worry of whatever become of Specter. I can't shake the feeling that I shouldn't trust Spike of telling him the truth," she whispered apprehensively as Casi looks at what everyone is doing in the lab. Monkey Yellow was cooking, Red lifting weights, Jimmy playing with Ember and Saru. Blue tail was curled with its paws tucked, watching them play on the floor." But you can't keep secrets for that long. He'll find out one way or another since he's that desperate to know his past," she replied calmly as she nodded. Blue tail suddenly hopped on its paws and hissed at the wall were Natalie was staring through the window." What is it, Blue tail?" Natalie asked, Red and Yellow stopped what they were doing and fell asleep. Even Jimmy fell asleep as well.
Natalie began feeling sleepy, but kept awake." Casi...what's..happening?" she asked in a tired voice as the virtual girl walked to the main computer, her energy being drained." The negative energy is growing stronger by the second from the realm of the nightmare. It looks like the unthinkable is closing in the real world and Storm's world as well, draining our dream energy. If it keeps up...both world's will...be lifeless..," and the girl fell asleep, falling on the wooden floor. Natalie saw that Saru, Ember, and herself still fighting this event. Saru was trying hard to keep awake, but his sister was already losing the fight. It was her and Specter's son left standing, she could feel the energy growing stronger and fell on the floor, still slightly awake. A light shined between them or that's what she think it was. The last thing she saw seeing a pair of white with green marks and everything faded.
At the realm of the nightmare...
Specter sat on the smooth rock, his mind in shock for everything he heard. Pink sat beside him with Spike, worried how the albino will react to the truth. Monkey White and Blue were listening, keeping a lookout for the nightmares. Yumi was trying to stop Kei from eating the cheese from the maze that was actually a trap for the heroes. Storm sat away from the group with Crystal, looking at the sky as if he was in a rush." So...is that what she was trying to not to tell me?" Specter whispered, trying to keep calm, but facing the fact he's like a monster on the inside." Yeah. I'm shocked as much like you, but we need to continue stopping the disaster!" the teenager replied and the albino's fur turned gray." But I trusted her and she kept this from me! Can't you see that I'm a monster?" he growled as Spike and Pink backed away from the angered albino. Storm and Crystal caught the negative waves from Specter, their hair standing on edge." Calm down, Specter. We'll focus on your problem later, but-!"" I DON'T CARE! PERHAPS ALL OF YOU WILL TURN AGAINST ME BECAUSE OF IT!" he snarled, his fur turned black, his eyes turned amber. Without warning, Storm shot an electric ball at him, but his opposite self deflected it with one hand. The ball instead zapped Kei, causing him to get knocked out and Yumi transformed to her cyber ace form.
" Yumi, stop! Specter is just upset about the truth and we need to calm him down!" Spike suggested, but the stubborn pop star shook her head." I was with Pink when this happened and does those scratch marks look like he wants to calm down?" she pointed out at Pink, who watched helplessly at Specter fighting the ones by his side. Three scratch marks were on her cheek and Spike really hates it when people point him out! He took his stun-club and the two ran toward Specter. Spike kept swinging at him, but the dark albino dodged all and punched him in the stomach. Before falling to the ground in pain, the monkey kicked him so hard, it sent him flying in the air. He landed on the rocky ground, seeing what everyone was doing. White and Blue were on their knees, their fur and clothes stained with blood and their backs trembling in fear. Yumi was on her bottom by a rock, her right arm bleeding and twisted with her twin brother at her side in cyber ace. He was awake and shooting at Specter behind the rock, nothing helped. Far above the pillar on the hill, Crystal threw flames at the same time, deep scratch marks on her arms, blood dripping on her blue jeans. Storm was also giving everything he's got at him, scratch marks slightly showing on his forehead and blood at the edge of his mouth. Monkey Pink was still standing there in horror.
Spike knew that it was hard for her to hurt someone she loved all these years. Specter wouldn't do that as well, but the albino is in pain from the truth about 'that' inside of him. It wasn't Natalie's fault to blame after all the kind things she gave to Specter and not telling him about his darkest past. The past when all of this occurred when he was offspring. Spike knows that all she was trying to do was protecting him from this demon, but it was obvious to everyone that she can't keep this from him forever. It'll only be more worse and painful to Specter and this albino was desperate to find out about his past for all that has happened right now. Spike got out of his thought and slowly got up, his stun-club still in hand." S-Specter...you got to calm down!" he yelled, wincing in pain at every word he got out. The black albino sharply turned at him, his amber eyes blinded by rage." WHY SHOULD I IF ALL OF YOU KEPT THIS FROM ME? I TRUSTED ALL OF YOU AND YOU LIED TO ME!" he yelled angrily as Spike shook his head, his right arm across his stomach." Natalie only kept it from you because she was trying to protect you, but we told her the truth will only be more painful!" he replied calmly, taking step by step to Specter." WELL IT WOULDN'T MATTER IF SHE TOLD ME OR NOT! I'M ALREADY IN SO MUCH PAIN FROM ALL THIS AND THE TRUTH JUST ONLY MADE IT LIKE LIVING HELL!" the dark albino growled, tears at the edge of his amber eyes. Specter dashed and punched him in the face. Spike fell to the ground and screamed in pain from Specter's foot stomping on him. Everyone was exhausted and watched him beating the daylights out of the kid.
Monkey Pink couldn't handle the stress anymore. The monkey ran behind the blinded monkey and hugged tightly behind his back. Specter froze at that, a warning growl coming from his throat as his mate began sobbing." Please stop this, Specter! I don't want to lose you to this monster!" she cried as tears began running down the dark albino's cheeks. His foot moving away from the stunned teen, his fur turning black, gray, and back to black. Storm, who was watching this scene, sensed positive energy fighting the negative.* Come on, Pink. Try calming that dumb ass down so we can get this crap over with!* he thought impatiently, biting his thumb." I know the truth hurts, but you can't keep holding on to the past like before. You just got to let it go...," Pink whispered, still hugging Specter and his fur turned white, his eyes turning back to normal. The white albino fell to his knees, beginning to cry softly with his arms crossed against his chest, tears streaming down. Spike got to his knees as everyone gathered around them, damaged and touched by this scene.
" This scene is so sad...its making me want to puke!" a voice growled from the shadows. The gang looked up to find a girl standing there. She had black shirt and skirt up to her knees with a belt on her waist. She wore black gloves that reached to her elbows and boots. Red tringuler marks were on the edges, with a dark cloak. The hood was off, revealing long blond hair with red triangular earrings and evil ruby eyes gazing at everyone. Next to her looked the same, only with blue marks and circles with her gloves shorten to her wrists. She too, gazed with her twin with blue eyes and grin. Specter noticed the voice sounded very familiar and it hit him!" Wait a minute! You're the one who tried drowning me in that dream two days ago!" he yelled, pointing at the red and the girl giggled, an evil one." To think you remembered me, I'm very surprised. Now then, come back to me, my loyal dark spy!" she called out, a scythe appearing in her hand in the air. Specter began feeling pain on his body, dark aura surrounding him. The aura then moved away from him, floating beside the girl with blue in two seconds. The energy formed into a nightmare, shaped in a house cat. Spike and everyone gasped as Pink helped her mate up.
" Its true that Natalie mentioned about him going dark, but what she didn't know was that it you were controlled by our little parasite. We first tried on Storm, but failed due to his lack of fear at that point. Unlike him, you were hard on the outside, but too soft and squishy on the inside!" she explained, the feline making purrs." So the only way my sister would get it inside of your head was to put you in a coma so the surgery wouldn't be painful! The day you woke up was when we decided to put you to the test. Of course, it was successful and Natalie was the perfect dummy to test on!" she continued with an evil grin and that got on Specter's and Spike's nerves!" You monster! Being controlled by a nightmare in surgery while a coma is one thing, but forcing me to hurt ones close to me is sick and twisted!" Specter growled as the teen came in the conversation." That's right! Forcing an weak and innocent person to harm others is wrong! Just...who are you!" he demanded as the twins snickered." My name is Sapphire and this is Ruby. If you think that was cruel, then watch on the screen to compare the differences," the blue one sneered, a screen poofed out of no where.
On the screen, showed people lying on the streets, asleep. Storm and Crystal had chills on their backs, horrified of what happened to their world." You son of a bitch! You're trying to piss me off here, huh!" Crystal snapped harshly, out of her usually calm and cool self. Storm held the angry monkey back, giving a nod that there's nothing they could do. The screen changed to two panels. One showed people lying on streets in Specter's world and the other was showing the others back at the lab. The sight of Saru and Ember getting tortured in the endless sleep caused Specter and Monkey Pink to get outraged by this." Why you fucking piece of shit! I'll rip your head off for harming my kids!" the albino snarled as Pink hissed in her evil side. Blue and White were shocked for their other teammates fall. Yumi, Kei and Spike were shocked and angry at their friends torturing." Now join with your pitiful friends and famlies!" Ruby laughed, swinged her blade and sent a red fiery wave at the weak heroes.
Spike knew everyone was tired from Specter's controlled dark self. They can't take another hit at this point. A green energy ball collided agaist it, causing an explosion. The light behind the team engulfed away from the danger. Ruby stomped her foot with her hands gripped tightly on her scythe." That stupid pest took the perfect fear meal away from me again for the second time!" she complained as Sapphire sighed." They'll come back. For now, let's wait till our empire crushes their worlds!" she snickered as they laughed at the worlds coming close to their goal. What happened to our heroes and where did that mysterious light take them? Will Specter, Storm, and the rest learn how to defeat their Nemesis? Find out as our heroes prepare for the worst!
Me: Getting curious about this plot's direction, eh? Some of the mysteries from the last chapters are covered and a few more to fulfill. Yes, Crystal was angry about what they did, because she cares about what happens to their world. She's usually calm, but I decided for her inner self to stick out on this chapter!
Storm: See you in chapter eleven and don't forget to R&R! Ciao.
