Chiro pushed harder.

"Please, no! I'll do anything! Just... oh! Please, please understand! Just let me go!"

"Sorry Sparks, that's a negitive. I'm afraid you have to. It's for your own good."

"No, it's NOT! I don't want to be totaled!"

"Totaled? We're just fixing you! Where'd you get totaled?"

"Well, your'e pushing me into a metal tube with buttons and knobs on it. What would you think?"

Chiro pushed even harder. "I'd believe what my team is telling me!" he yelled. "Now get IN!"

He gave a mighty push, forcing the red monkey into the tube. Gibson shut the door immedditly. Although Sparks jumped up as though he was shocked and beat on the clear door, screeching at the top of his lungs, Chiro smiled and walked over to the door. "Relax, buddy, you'll be out soon."

Nova, her eyes not leaving Spark's flailing body, said in an aggitated voice, "He's not exactly er- happy about repairs, is he?"

Otto broke out laughing, and Gibson soon joined him. "Well, no," said Chiro, who couldn't help smiling at Spark's confused face. "He thinks we're destroying him."

Nova didn't look convinced. "Are we?" she asked.

The room of monkeys stopped laughing and stared. Them? Hurt Sparks? She didn't think... or did she?

"Wh-why would we hurt him?" Otto looked like Chiro felt. Stunted. Hurt. Angry. Saddened. Nova must have saw what had happened. She hung her head in a sort of shame. Even Sparks stopped fighting noisily.

"You know what I mean! Like... mind control and stuff!" she said timidly. "I-I thought that maybe Sparks might have... you know... found something out and-"

"We're not hurting him," Chiro said confidently over Nova's stutters. "We're reparing him. Right, Gibson?"

The blue monkey nodded. "Just fixing him up. He's badly hurt from that fall." Gibson was refering to when Antauri and Sparks fell off a ledge onto a pointy-rock-filled plain. By the time Sparks had finished complaining, ("What was that? Why are rocks there? Who's the idiot who put them there?") Atari was fixed and Gibson working on a way to properly amend Sparks.

Sparks began thrashing about once more, bringing the team out of it's memories and back to the now. Gibson walked over to the computer and typed for about a minute. Chiro sat down in a chair. "All to do now is wait," he said in a bored tone.

Nova nodded. He could sence that she was still worried. She was always worried, ever since Chiro came back...
