He believed in peace, and would do anything for it. Anything.
Hope
Screams filled the air, a giant worm began to wiggle out of its egg, and for the first time, the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce had lost a battle.
Or, had they?
Antauri was trying his best to sit up. The pain in the back of his head was beyond description. He saw the team's fear and doubt, as well a sensing it. He felt the hidden tears of his friends falling into his heart.
But he smiled.
Maybe he was crazy. He had never found what he dreamed of, true peace is the universe, and yet he still felt that truth and love were more than just something talked about, but never shown. That's what he believed. That's what kept him going. He hoped beyond anything that he could someday see his dreams come alive. He imagined a world without evil. He imagined life without hate. He imagined everything without the pain he had seen so many times.
Maybe, just maybe, that was something worth giving his life for. That's what he thought he would do that day when he fell into the pit. The pain magnified tenfold and he screamed as his armor tore off.
But of all the people on the team, he should have known better than anybody how strong hope could be.
