A/N Thank you to all my wonderful reviewers:

Fireflygirl2- Thank you! You made me day, err, I mean week! And your story was really good, I loved it!

Burning Fantasy- Well, I actually changed it, I guess. Thank you for reviewing once again, though. But, I promise, things are going to heat up as the battle against Sprx-77 and Skeleton King begins!

Super-nova-101- Please… Don't hurt me, or… Or no more fan fiction! More cliff-hangers to come, as usual… Well, possibly.

Beastfire- Oh, we're serious about that appointment! Beastfire has even posted ads in the Shuggazoom newspaper! He, he… Well, anyways, enjoy this chapter.

Astral Butterfly- Thank you! And, yeah, well, let's just say Sprx is going to have some help making Skeleton King let them go from his clutches.

This will be a shorter chapter for different reasons I don't understand myself.

Rescue

Skeleton King stood up, his body towering over the red monkey's small frame. "I will finish these pests easily…" he murmured, his voice still cruel.

Sprx clenched teeth together, readying his magnets for battle. He made sure Nova was alright behind him. An astonished look spread across his face when he saw that she was trying to stand.

"Hey, Sparky…" she said as strongly as she could, and then slowly and painfully stood up. "You don't think you're going to fight Skeleton King without me, huh?" she asked, smiling weakly at him.

"Nova!" he hissed, "You're not going to do anything, you hear?" He turned around quickly, and gently put his left arm under her legs, and his right behind her back, and walked to the back of the large dome-shaped stadium. Nova began to protest

"Sprx! Behind you!" shouted Nova, pointing at something coming their way.

Behind them, Skeleton King was launching himself, his staff, into the air. "I have grown impatient! If you want to be together, you can share the same fate!" he screeched, as he landed dangerously close to the couple. In only a brief second, Sprx blocked Nova with his own body by facing away, and then Skeleton King managed to use his staff to electrocute Sprx, making him drop Nova, as he fell to the ground, unconscious.

"No, Sprx!" shouted Nova, struggling to get up, to protect her now fallen friend. She shook his shoulders, trying to wake him. "Please, Sprx, I can't do this alone…" she whispered, tears stinging her eyes.

"You dare stand up to me, monkey? You incompetence will succeed in being you fate!" The skeletal menace sweep his giant staff at Nova, making her fly into the wall, her right side taking the most impact. The force sent her to the ground, unable to feel her right arm and leg. Crimson blood dripped from her wounds, which started to nauseate her.

"You monster!" she cried forgetting the bloody mess her body was becoming, and her robo-fists appearing on only her left arm. She swung wildly at his head, with the use of her jet pack.

Skeleton King smiled crookedly, easily swatting her away, making her go down again, and this time, she couldn't get up.

"Ha, ha, ha! You fool! You thought you could protect him! You can't even protect yourself. I will put you out of your mercy once and for all!" he shouted, raising his staff for one last attack.

Suddenly, a large 'crash' was heard; rumble falling from the ceiling in a clouded chaos.

"What?" screeched Skeleton King, right before a whole assault hit him, a jumble of green, black, and blue flashing before his evil eyes.

Nova was able to lift her head, her eyes widening at what she saw before her. "Chiro…" she murmured weakly, before everything went black.

A/N Not to disappoint reviewers, but the next installment may be the last, counting on how I decide to end it. Anyways, please R&R!
