Annime: Well, Chiro wasn't killed between last chapter and this chapter, so I continue.

Chiro: And if I WAS killed?

Annime: I won't have a Chiro anymore.

Chiro: OHHH!

Sprx: Annime doesn't own SRMTHFG or anything belonging to someone else!

Chapter 20

I saw you with it. You aren't supposed to have it. Why and how can you get something like that?

Antauri's POV:

"Great," Sprx spat. "This is just WONDERFUL! The 'oh so great' chosen one has turned his back on us. NOW what are we supposed to do?"

"There might not be anything we CAN do at this point, Sprx," Gibson pointed out with sadness in his voice. "It was just a matter of time, too. I mean, don't we remember who Chiro is? He is a lying, thieving, delinquent who could become Shuggazoom's best actor!"

I sat in silence as the conversation continued in the cells around me. Something wasn't right. Just before this happened, Chiro had been willing to help us. What had Skeleton King promised him? Unlimited power…maybe…internal life…possibly…freedom? Those all seemed like possible gifts Skeleton King could bribe Chiro with. And every single one of them was a lie. Skeleton King wouldn't give someone any more power than what he possesses himself. The evil being could never actually give someone the ability to live forever. And lastly, he would never give Chiro his freedom…he would make the boy his slave.

Chiro's POV:

Scar kept talking about how Skeleton King would make him and me his princes once he took over the planet. I stayed silent while this was happening and tried my hardest to pay attention.

As we made our way to Skeleton King's throne room (that's what Scar told me it was) I started to get nervous. Thoughts of doubt were running on and on within my mind.

'Should I REALLY have done this?' I wondered. 'What if this doesn't turn out like I want it to? What if this was all a mistake?'

"We are here," Scar announced. "And remember to bow to him once we get near him." I gave Scar a nod to indicate that I understood and he opened a huge door to our right. Once he stepped inside I followed close behind him.

"Hello Scar," a huge skeleton like monster greeted the brunette. It sat in what resembled a thrown and had red eyes. Those red eyes went to me and narrowed. "This must be the boy I told you to talk to."

"Yes," Scar answered. "His name is Chiro." As Scar was talking to Skeleton King he was also walking towards him. I was still following close behind and was caught by surprise when the brunette knelt down in a bow. I mimicked this and went down on my knees.

"Ahh," the Skeleton King said contentment. "It looks like he has agreed to work with us as well."

"He has," Scar replied. I looked at the ground and once again hoped that this wasn't a mistake.

"Chiro," Skeleton King called to me. "Come here." I stood up and looked the monster straight in the eyes. I made sure my nerves didn't show as I walked up closer to him. He put his face right in front of mine and looked at me closely. "It looks like you have great power, Chiro," he told me. "You will be very useful."

I smiled. "I don't really think so." Then, I punched him in the face…HARD. Scar gasped as Skeleton King hit the back of his head on his chair. The monster held his eye with his hand and growled.

"Oh, so you're a little faker, are you?" Skeleton King spoke with anger. "Scar, GET HIM!"

Scar lounged at me, but I dodged his blow. He turned back around and tried to punch me in the face. I caught his arm and hit him in the gut with my knee. Scar yelped in pain at this. I then took my fist and slammed it against his face. The boy fell to the floor and I took off out the door.

"STOP HIM!" I heard Skeleton King order Scar. "DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!"

I raced down the hall in the same direction Scar and I had come from after talking to the monkey team. Those controls would let me free the others. I knew for a fact that they wouldn't trust me at first after Scar had told them I was working with Skeleton King, but hopefully they would understand what I was REALLY trying to do.

When I got to the room where the controls to the prison were, the door was locked up tight. Apparently Scar either did that whenever he left an important room or Skeleton King pressed a button to do lock it. I kicked the door as hard as I could and broke a hole through it. The hold wasn't big enough for me to go through, so I punched a hole above and below it. My hand and foot hurt REALLY badly after that, but I ignored it. Instead, I rushed to the controls and examined them, trying to find the switch that would free the monkey team.

"Hey," Sprx called from his cell. "What have you come back for? Oh, I see why you're here; you're here to laugh at us, aren't you?"

I felt bad by what he said, but tried to ignore it. The need to find that switch was too great to let him get in my head. Scar suddenly appeared behind me, yet luckily I was able to sense him in time to dodge him. He ran his stomach into the control panel.

"You know, Scar," I teased. "I kinda thought you would be a better fighter than this…but I guess I was wrong. Feel lucky that you don't live on the streets in Shuggazoom, or you would be torn to pieces." Out of anger, Scar tried to punch me in the face again, but I moved my head to the right before his fist could make contact and tripped him. As he fell to the floor, I swiftly went back to the controls in hopes to quickly find the switch and/or button I was looking for. The brunette on the floor, though, had other ideas. He snatched my ankle and made me fall onto the hard ground. The evil boy then crawled up and pinned me down.

"You're going to wish you were never born," he snarled.

Annime: WOW

Chiro: Good, you made me fake being evil.

Annime: XD
