A/N: To see my disclaimer, look at the first chapter.

Hello. Gosh. I've had this thing written and on the computer for like, 3 days now, but I haven't had the chance to get on and actually submit it. Isn't summer vacation wonderful? Wow, from my reviews it looks like I got the effect I wanted to with the first chapter. Can I keep the levels of emotion up? Well, I hope so. My dream is to be a writer for the show (I've actually had day dreams of the writers sending me an e-mail or calling me with a free trip sighbut we won't go there.) Anyway, time to thank the reaviewers!

Monkey Team LuvR: Hi, person who's never reviewed my stories before! Glad you like it so far, and I promise to do my best to keep the monkeys in character. (Though, Otto may be a little too smart here. Well, not smart, but serious. You'll see when you read it.) Please R&R!

Crystal Sapphire: Glad you think its good. And Sparks, watch yourself, you're pretty important in this story. And if Sapp ends up hurting you, well let's say it won't be good for my story.

4EverMonkeyFan: Yeah, there's been a lot of talk on forums and such about what a great leader Sparks would be. That kind of inspired this fic. Glad you think everyone's in character, because that's essential to a good fanfiction.

Crystal: Yeah, most episodes I've seen a billion times (because I record them), but I think I've only let myself watch "I, Chiro" a handful of times, if that. So sad. As for the return of Anauri and Chiro, well, only time willl tell. Glad you like! Review again, please!

Lmann: Yes, I pity you UK people. But be patient, one day you'll see it and you'll be like "Oh! That's what they were talking about!" and you'll run into all of the forums and be like "Guys! Guys! I know what you were talking about now!" and everybody in the USA will be talking about the third season and you'll be like "oh darn." X-D. R&R.

Blossom268703: Thanks for the compliment, and I fully intend on keeping up what I've done. Well, I'm trying to. Please review this new chapter too.

Beastfire: I'm happy you think I'm doing it well. It can be tough to really grasp emotions (particularly of cartoon characters). But I mean, what else would I do in my free time?

A Fan of Romance: Yeah, 'wow' was the only thing I could say after I saw I, Chiro. But I hope that's a good 'wow'! I hope that means that you'll review this new chapter as well! Hope you like it too.

Moonlit Sea: Interesting…I hope that's a compliment.

Nova: She said it was good too.

RM4E: Oh! I see! In that case, thanks!

Gijinka Renamon: Yes, there is more to come (how could I end a story there?) And sad was the emotion I was going for. But I'm going for a new one here. Please read and review!

AnimeFanGirl11: Wow! I actually made somebody cry? This is more powerful than I thought. (Ha ha, I'm a softie. I cried reading the biography of C.S. Lewis last night when his wife died.) And thanks so much for your kind words. I know you're going to read and review so I don't even have to tell you to do so:0D

Chapter 2

The city of Shuggazoom was once more beginning to take shape. Otto was working on remaking people's homes, and Nova was caring to the wounded and comforting those who needed it. SPRX-77 still traveled around overseeing everything, and helping where he could. He looked in the direction of the Super Robot. No doubt it would be the last thing to be fixed, since Shuggazoom's citizens came first. But as he looked in that direction, he saw something blue drawing slowly nearer to him.

"Gibson!" he yelled, running up to his robo-simmian friend, "good to see you. In fact, there have been some places where we're really needing your help."

"Assuredly I'll help in any way I can."

Suddenly, they heard a scream in the opposite direction. They both spun around to see one of the upright buildings begin to topple, it was swaying, but it was obviously about to fall onto a few injured people sitting there.

"Gibson," SPRX-77 said in an affirmative tone of voice, "dig a trench with your drills so those people won't be squished!"

"Nonsense!" Gibson returned, "I shall cause the surrounding small building to fall, creating a wedge!"

"That won't work! Do as I say," yelled SPRX-77 back.

"Your plan spells disaster! What if it cannot be dug in time?"

The scream had also attracted Nova and Otto's attention. As Nova finally got to the scene, she saw the building tip off balance and start to fall. She looked over to SPRX-77 looking for instruction, but she noticed Gibson had come and the two were bickering like all get out. They weren't going to be at peace before the building fell.

She had to save those injured people, for they couldn't run on their own. With lightening fast speed, she dashed underneath the building and grabbed the group, holding them with her arms. The building drew nearer, and she could feel it feet above her own head.

She had gotten everyone out from under the shadow, and she ran to the edge, throwing the people as hard as she could. The large structure grew closer and closer. The people were safe. Her head was out, and so were her arms.

BOOM!

Gibson and SPRX-77 were inches away from each other's faces, screaming at each other, not even listening to what the other person had to say. Then they heard the crash and looked over. Nova had been crushed from the waist down by the building, but all of the people were safe.

"Nova!" SPRX-77 yelled, running towards her. Gibson followed close behind. He could also see Otto coming quickly.

"Nova, Nova are you okay?" SPRX-77 asked.

Nova looked up with pain in her eyes. She was very tolerant to it, but you could tell it hurt, "Oh, about as well as one can feel when a 300 ton building is dropped on to your legs."

Gibson looked around and saw materials to make a lever. He collected the pieces, constructed it, and wedged it underneath the building. With the proper application of force, he was able to lift the building up enough to slide poor Nova out from underneath it.

She looked towards him, "Thanks Gibson."

Then, the pain overdrove her, and she passed out.

"Nova? Nova! Gibson this is all your fault!" SPRX-77 accused.

"My fault? If you had allowed me to create my wedge in the first place none of this would have happened!"

"Well if you had listened to me instead of making up your own theories,"

"When have I ever had to listen to you? And why should I? Why, compared to my intelligence you're just a child."

"Ooo," Otto said in the background.

SPRX-77 was angered and frowned almost threateningly at Gibson, and engaged his magnets. But he looked over at Nova, and quickly put them away. "No, it's not worth it…"

Gibson stared in disbelief at SPRX-77's self control.

SPRX-77 turned to Otto, "Otto, get Nova back to the robot and repair her. I'll go with you."

Gibson began to follow.

"Hold up Brain Strain, you'd better stay here and help out still. Somebody needs to." SPRX-77 said.

"And why can't you stay here and help, and I'll go back to the robot?"

"I need to be with Nova," he turned his head towards her and whispered to himself, "I have to make sure she pulls through."

"Are you insinuating that you care more about this team than I do?" Gibson asked, accusingly.

"Well maybe I do!" SPRX-77 responded. "After all, who was out here helping the team when the city needed help? Who was the first one to be running to Nova's side? Where were you when the team needed someone who could tell us the condition of the hurt?" With this, he turned and left Gibson to his thoughts.

Gibson stood in disbelief. What low-blows were those accusations. Was it wrong to stay and pay your last respects to your best friend? SPRX-77 didn't know what he was talking about. Perhaps the child remark was a little low, too, but hadn't SPRX-77 proved it when he wanted to fight?

Gibson walked around, helping people. He kept telling himself that he would never take orders from SPRX-77, that silly red monkey.

It was with his equipment that he was able to treat people correctly, and write down instructions for how to treat them. Without his help, these people could have died, or been caused even more pain than they were currently experiencing.

'Sparks is not fit to be a leader' "Gibson thought, 'He needed to be set straight by Antauri too many times. It was I that was helping to keep the team on the right path.'

The simple choice was to let the team decide. And surely, Otto and Nova would choose himself over that immature SPRX-77. The choice was simple. If Antauri was not here, surely they would choose the one with the best intelligence over the one who could crack the best jokes and play the best practical jokes.

He decided to suggest a vote when the team returned. And then the proper leader of the team would be chosen.

SPRX-77 stood over Nova back in the "sick bay" area of the Super Robot. She was suspended in one of the tubes of liquid. The liquid around her monitored her pulse as Otto controlled water-safe lasers to fix her legs.

SPRX-77 walked over to Otto. "So is she gonna pull through?" he asked.

"Oh yeah," Otto replied. "I'm no expert, but I'd say she just passed out cuz she hurt so much."

"That's good," said SPRX-77, "so she should wake up once we get her out here?"

"She should," Otto commented, "but like I've said, I'm no expert. Honestly I don't understand why you didn't have Gibson come. Sure, I'm better at making repairs, but he's better at figuring this medical stuff out."

"I just needed some time away from him."

"Time away? You had just spent the last hour away from him!"

"I know. I just don't know what his problem is."

"Awww, Sparks, we're all hurting right now. Without Antauri…"

"Yeah. I'll uh… I'll be right back. Call me when Nova's awake."

"Sure thing, Sparks," Otto replied, and went back to his work.

SPRX-77 then went for his own walk around the main room of the Super Robot.

A/N: Sigh, such isolation, such sadness. Was it dramatic enough? Did you like? This is going faster than I originally intended. Probably only a couple more chapters. But don't worry, it will have a happy ending. Please review!
