A/N Okay, here's the next chapter!

Beastfire: Thanks, and I'll read your fan fiction! Knowing you, it'll be good!

Kidnapped!

A yawn escaped from Sprx's lips, as he groggily flipped the covers off of him. He, then slowly made his way to the main corridor. As he shot down the pipe from Fist Rocket 3, he expected Nova to bite his head off for what he did last night.

As he came to a stop at the bottom, he sighed before stepping out. One thought crossed his mind when he looked around. 'Where's Nova?'

Sprx scratched his head in disbelief. "Never knew Nova would sleep in later than me…" he thought out loud, before he shrugged the thought away, and walked to the kitchen. "Maybe I can make her breakfast for messin' with her yesterday…"

He anticipated Nova to walk in a few minutes later, but she didn't. A good hour passed, before he started to get anxious. Sighing, her murmured, "Guess I gotta go see what's up…" Sprx quickly stepped into the yellow tubes' opening, the air pressure shooting him up, then down to Foot Crusher Cruiser 6. The bright red monkey hesitantly walked up to her steel door.

Knock, knock… "Hey Nova, you up yet? Your burnin' daylight!" he shouted, "I made ya' breakfast, so get your pretty little butt down to the kitchen!"

Sprx waited for a few moments for a response… but nothing was heard or said. He knocked again, impatiently. "Nova! C'mon, this isn't funny! …Nova?" Anxiety then turned to nervousness and worry.

The monkey shifted his weight from one foot to another, before decided to invade Nova's privacy. Sprx pressed the red button, the heavy metal door sliding open with ease. He grimaced, closing his coal black eyes, knowing Nova would show no mercy if he raided her time alone… yet, all was mellow and calm.

He kept his eyes shut tightly, saying, "Nova, I'm not lookin' so stop playin' around!" No answer. Sprx hesitantly opened one eye, looking around. "Nova? Nova!"

She was gone, and Sprx could not believe his eyes. "Wha-? Where the heck are you, Nova!" he shouted, frantically trying to find her. Sprx got on his hands and knees, looking under her desk, her bead, everywhere, only to find nothing.

Much to his surprise and horror, Sprx looked up, to see trickles of crimson running down the wall, small puddles of it on the floor, and on top of her unmade bed. Gasping, he shook his head in denial. "No! Nova can't be gone!" he shouted, tracing the blood to the broken window, where claw marks could be found. "No!"

Tears stung his eyes as he ran to the window, and looking out and around. Nothing. He looked down at his hands, seeing they were now cut and bloody from the broken glass, but he ignored it. "Something happened, and I'm gonna find out what!" he shouted, clenching his fists tightly.

"Muahahahaha… Muahahahahaha!" came an eerie and creepy laugh, from somewhere.

"Huh? Who's there! Show yourself!" said Sprx his voice hysterical in fright and sick with worry.

Suddenly, Sprx's wish was answered, as one of Skeleton King's robots popped up out of nowhere hovering right by the broken window, his face shown up upon the screen, laughing evilly again.

"What have you done with Nova, bonehead!" screeched the red monkey, his eyes full of rage, despite the tears.

"Nova? Your little girlfriend is right here," said Skeleton King coolly, stepping aside, the screen zooming in to reveal Nova's limp figure, covered in blood, sparks visibly could be shown, chains hooked to her arms and legs, "She put up quite a fight, yet it wasn't good enough."

"What have you done to her?" he shouted, trying to hold back the thought that Nova has… passed on… He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her move, although the moment seemed painful and useless. "Let. Her. Go." he murmured threateningly.

"Let her go? Dear monkey, I have not finished with her yet…" he replied, his face smeared with a crooked grin, "You'll have to come and rescue her yourself…"

"No kiddin' I will!" he shouted, lunging at the robot with a full force attack.

Skeleton King only laughed again, the robot dodging him with ease. "It's no use, your little friend here is finished!" The robot then disappeared without a trance, Skeleton King's laugh still echoing in Sprx's head.

He breathed heavily, shaking with rage and agonize. "I will save her, I swear I will…"

A/N Ha, ha! The cliffhanger! R& R!
