Chapter 10: Storm's secret and turning around the past

Storm wakes up, finding Satan, Saru, Cathy, and him self stuck in the threads." How did you get here, Cathy?" he asked as the yellow monkey blushed." I wanted to see if you guys got in trouble. I got clumsy and got found out..." she explained as Storm gave a smirk." Explains alot. How long was I out, Satan and where's everyone else?" he demanded as the blue monkey looked up." Oh let's see... Because our worlds are going faster, I say SEVEN DAYS! In 24 hours, the solstice will start and the others are in Itami's prison," he explained irritated as the monkey looked away." Gosh. No need to rub it up my face..." he muttered as Kutsuu came by, the threads suddenly tighten on Satan and Cathy, outraging the black monkey." Now its you're turn to suffer you're past," he sneered as everything began flashing before Storm's eyes. He looked away as memories of burning flames...the apartment from before." Storm!" Cathy called out as the thread tighten even more.

In Storm's mind...

He was standing in a fire of inside the apartment from before, flames engulfing everything in its path." Is this what you're hiding from Specter and the rest?"

" Stop this, please!" he cried as he runs room to room, finding a way out of this disaster." Why so soon? Is this the reason why you don't want to talk about you're 'family'?" Kutsuu's voice was heard as Storm got to the next room. He stood in horror as he looked at the floor. Two monkey were lying on the floor, the ones in his pictures. He felt his heart shattering as everything was happening all over again.
" Mother...Father...no, this isn't real!" he whimpered, trying to hold his mother's body, but it vanished as well with his father's as well.

" NNNOOOOOO!"

Back in reality...

" NO! MAKE IT STOP! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SHOWING HIM!" Satan warned as Kutsuu smirked and looked back at the struggling monkey." I don't care. As long as he suffers, its none of my concerns..." he snickered as Itami gave a cautious look." I think you should stop. Something bad is about to erupt in that monkey!" she said frighten as the gray monkey stopped and walks away from the black monkey. Suddenly, Storm ripped out of his trap and shot a bolt of lightning at him. His amber glaring at the both and shot his friends free." Such anger you hold...you deal with him, Itami. I have to get the vessel far from here!" he growled as he grabbed Saru and teleports away from the place. Itami was about to attack when Storm grabbed here throat. Cathy and Satan closed their eyes as they hear her scream.

Back with the others...

Spike and Emerald pulled the bars one last time, but they won't budge. Pink was in the corner, lost in thought with Ember by her side. Crystal was helping Jimmy find another exit, but it was too dark to see. A loud scream was heard, making everyone jump. Emerald took out an arrow with a spiral end and shot it through, the smashing to pieces. They ran out as Jimmy came out last, looking at the damage." Why didn't you do that earlier?" he grumbled as Crystal ran past him," Hurry up already! Something tells me something happened!" she growled as they ran towards the area.

When they reached there, they gaped at Storm, on his knees and in front of him was Itami, lying there in a bloody mess. Pink covered Ember's eyes from the gore as the black monkey sat there with blood on his shirt and coat, crying softly. Cathy was comforting him as Satan came up to them." Sorry about the mess! I couldn't save Saru from Kutsuu and the solstice is about to begin," he apologized as Pink hugged Ember." Do we have enough time to find him?" she asked as the blue monkey looked up at the sky." We better hurry if you guys don't mind?" he said as Emerald nodded. The heroes ran off with Storm and Cathy following behind.

With Specter...

The albino sat on one knee, staring at his reflection at a small puddle of strange liquid. Thunder roared as Specter looked up, sensing the solstice making a closing." I...I failed. I hurt Monkey Pink and tried killing Saru. Why did I do to deserve all this in my life?" he cried, tears falling into the puddle." Don't leave us, Dad!" Saru's words echoed as he knew he couldn't do anything. Everything he did was meant for nothing. Specter began repeating each memory so far in his mind. He waited till one, he seemed to remember very clear.

( Flashback...)

" Alright, monkeys. One at a time, please!" Red called out as the four members of the freaky monkey five. Four since Blue is dead. It was a stormy night due to some hurricane and Specter wanted them to gather every monkey to see if any didn't go outside. Watching from a room near by, he kept watch of Saru. The infant was wearing a blue baby suit and looked at the monkeys running around, Pink and the other were keeping organized.

BOOM!

A loud thunder clap was so loud, lights went out and Saru began whimpering. Specter took hold of him, keeping him close to his chest." Its alright...daddy is here..." he hushed him softly as the small albino looked up, making baby gibberish he couldn't understand. The albino leader lets out a sigh and clears his throat.

" Hush my baby...

Everything is going to be alright.

The moonlight shines down with bright stars

Don't be scared of thunder because

I'll be with you when you sleep.

I'll be there when you fall.

So go to sleep, because I'll be here.

I'll keep you safe from the monster

Any storm or fear because...

I will always be here with you..."

Specter stopped, Saru already asleep with his thumb in his mouth. His smile went to a frown when he sees everyone staring at him. Even the monkeys fell asleep and gasped at their leader who sang!" Damn, you sing good!" Yellow congrats him so loud, Saru woke up and starts crying.
" Nice going, Yellow. You're getting it big time," he growled as the fat monkey didn't get it. The monkeys backed away with Red and White as Pink stood there, in her evil side." You bastard! You woke my baby boy up and I'll be sure you'll be the one having nightmares!" she hissed as she chased him out the room with a gun.

" Good-night, my son. I'll always be here for you..." he yawned and fell to sleep with Saru, already fallen asleep.

( End of flashback)

Specter stands up and looks back at the cliff few miles away, sunlight shining down at the edge." I know what I need to do. I promised that I'll be with him at times when he needs me and this is one of them!" he growled and dashes at full speed." I COMING, SARU!" he called out as the solstice was coming to a start.

Will Specter and the others reach Kutsuu and Saru in time before it's too late? Find out on the next time!
