By Tippy... I wanna get married...

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Something's wrong. Something's very wrong. Antauri's eyes flew open, his heart racing. He quickly jumped out of the sleep chamber, the others unaware of the problem. He flipped on the light, causing the other four to moan as they slowly woke up.

"Antauri?" Gibson asked, rubbing at his eyes. "What's going on?"

"Chiro's in trouble."

"What?" Nova jumped from her chamber, wide awake. She was about to take off for his room when the black monkey stopped her.

"He's not in the ship..." He turned to look at everyone, "We need to find him. Gibson, get the tracker." The blue monkey nodded, running off to find the equipment. "We need to move fast. With his injuries, I don't think he's capable of defending himself for very long." The other three nodded and hurried after Antauri as he left. They met up with Gibson who was holding the small box.

"I've got a reading. He's in the far north east section of the city."

They stepped up to the exit hatch, their jet packs popping onto their backs.

The five robot monkeys took off, flying though the air in his direction. They all silently hoped that the boy would alright.

oOoOoOo

"Chiro Spearo!" The room lit up with shocking yellow electricity as the bolt of energy hit the first formless to enter the room. It exploded, sending dark goo out over the apartment floor. He had positioned himself in from of Miharu, trying his best to shield her from their attackers. He sent another glowing bolt at the next entity, its matter spewing out. He was breathing hard, barely keeping it together. Why was he so exhausted?

Another group of formless filtered into the room and he summoned up as much power as he could muster as he sent a third strike at the group, managing to take out more then just one. But he didn't seem to notice as a wave of dizziness swept over him. The world was spinning around him and he lifted his hand to his head. He needed it to stop! He needed to protect her. He was surprised when he felt a set of arms lift him off the floor. He was moving out of the room. She was carrying him. He closed his eyes, trying to block out the whirling images around him.

Miharu ran. There had been no more formless after his last attack, which gave her the opportunity to get him out of the small room. She hit the stairs, taking two at a time, careful to watch Chiro's leg as she passed the dilapidated banisters. She ran down the last set of stairs and hit the bottom, moving her hand so she could open the door.

The thugs were gone, but the darkness outside made it impossible to see the black creatures. A hope-filled smile flew across her face as she caught site of the motorcycle that still stood across the street. She ran for it, leaping off the stairs. She carefully set the boy in the sidecar, finally noticing his eyes were closed.

"Chiro? Stay with me!" She patted his cheek lightly and his eyes fluttered open. She smiled down at him before climbing onto the vehicle, its engine roaring a she turned it on and hit the gas. She quickly turned it around, facing the opposite direction and sped off. She gasped as she dodged a large group of formless as they sprung out from the shadows, their clawed hands grasping for her and Chiro.

She took a sharp left onto another street, leaning hard into the turn to keep the bike from spilling over. She groaned as she saw the street laps ahead were all out, leaving the road a dark abyss. She was thankful the bike had headlights that lit up a good amount of the street.

The girl glanced into the rearview mirror, her eyes wide with disbelief. There was an army of dark creature chasing after them. She punched the gas, the bike revving as it picked up speed. She hit the dark street, her senses on edge as she tried to make out any enemies.

She shivered, realizing she was only wearing her pjs. Shrugging it off, she continued down the street, her memory telling her which direction to go. They were almost off the dark road.

She screamed as a large object landed in her path and she hit the breaks, the bike skidding past the thing and into the open light of a street lap. She looked up just in time to see a large, dark robot come flying at them. Without a second thought, she grabbed the half conscious Chiro and dove off the bike, cradling the boy as she landed.

Behind her she could hear the sounds of metal being crushed and ripped apart. She didn't have to look to know what had happened.

A moan escaped the boy as he started waking up.

Everything hurt, but his head had finally stopped spinning. He looked up to see Miharu's face. She was holding him. When did they get outside? A horrible noise caught his attention and he looked over her shoulder to see the remains of the motorcycle, Skeleton King's robot standing over it.

He stared in disbelief. Here he was, injured and weak. Miharu was there but she couldn't stop that thing. And their transportation was now a demolished heap.

Chiro gasped as he felt himself lifting into the air again, Miharu taking off, trying to get away from the creatures. He could see the robot moving to make another attack, chasing after them, each step shaking the ground beneath them.

His stomach jumped as Miharu swerved left towards one of the stores that lined to street. The metal contraption flew past them and smashed into a parted car, shards of glass straying in every direction.

Chiro heard the girl cry out and she stumbled forward into a small alley between the buildings. "Miharu! What's wrong!"

"My feet-" Her teeth clenched through the pain. It was then that he noticed she wasn't wearing shoes. She was stepping on the broken glass. "I'll be okay."

She was about to continue down the alley when an explosion over head sent bricks and debris raining down, causing her to stumble backwards. Behind them stood the machine, its arm raised towards the hole in the building.

Miharu was frozen, she didn't know what else to do. Her feet hurt something awful, but she could get over that. But now, she had nowhere to run. They had to fight this thing. She watched as the large screen on the robot's chest flashed on, revealing the horrible face of the Skeleton king. She looked down at Chiro who was glaring angrily at the villain.

"Hello, boy... I see you've made a new friend." The insanity that filled his voice sent a shiver up her spine. She'd never actually seen or heard him before. He was frightening to say the least. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end as a horrendous smile crossed his bony face. She needed to get them out of there now.

He had him now. Cornered, and his only protection was one useless girl. This was perfect! Skeleton King smiled as he watched their desperation start to take hold, the girl's eyes searching for some way out. But there was no where to run. He needed to be quick though, the monkeys were most likely already on their way.

The giant machine lowered its arm, pointing the still smoking weapon at the two figures. He could already hear their screams in his mind as they were destroyed. The picture was playing out perfectly, the two humans cowering before him, their lives about to be ripped from them. His joyous reveries stopped as he noticed the smiles that fell on their faces just before his screen went black.

"WHAT? NO!" He jumped up from his thrown, shaking his fists in anger, "They were supposed to die!" He flung his hand out, knocking the viewing orb off its pedestal. He watched bounce onto the floor, rolling into the wall. His brow furrowed as he watched the new picture, a new smile brushing across his features. He still had his army of formless. He could still win.

oOoOoOo

He could hardly believe what he was seeing as the large robot, who seconds ago was about to kill them, suddenly toppled over as a missile of energy slammed into its back. Miharu stepped back as it fell in front of them, ceasing to move.

They both looked up to see five monkeys floating above them, relief evident as they flew down to meet the two weary humans.

"Are you two okay?" Nova urgently asked as she landed.

Miharu had taken a seat on the ground, letting him sit in her lap. "I'm fine." He didn't want his friends to worry about the fact that he still felt drained, "But Miharu's feet, she stepped on glass..."

"It's not that bad, really." She let out a yelp as Gibson moved forward and gently took hold of her heel, lifting up the foot to get a good look. There were at least six large pieces of glass, bright red liquid flowing slowly out around them. He was about to check her other foot, when Antauri shouted.

"Formless!" They all turned to see the waves of black creatures making their way up the dark streets towards the alley.

The monkey team took off, Nova yelling back at Chiro to stay put as they all dove head first into the wave, formless matter spraying out as energy attacks ripped them apart.

Chiro knew that the team could handle this, they'd done it before. Formless were pretty easy to take down. But what frightened him the most was Miharu being there. He'd had so many dreams about her, surrounded by the evil entities, crying out for him. Now it was real. She was there and there were so many enemies. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to protect her. No! He would protect her, with everything he had, he'd keep her safe.

Another mob of black exploded as Sprx shot a ball of red energy into them. They were winning!

He smiled as he felt arms rap around him and he leaned into her shoulder.

"Are you really okay?" She rocked him gently.

He nodded, strands of hair falling in front of his eyes that he quickly pushed away. "A little tired though."

She smiled, her arms giving him a reassuring squeeze, "I bet you are. Everything's going to be fine now- Hey!" Suddenly, he was on the ground as the girl was ripped out from under him. He quickly raised his head to see two black figures gripping her arms as they pulled her away from him.

"NO! LEAVE HER ALONE!" He tried to jump to his feet, but fell as his leg gave out from under him. She was yelling, struggling against her captures, and he couldn't move. His nightmares were coming true! Tears of frustration fell down his face as he tried to crawl towards here. He heard her yell again and his rage let loose. He screamed as a piercing white light filled his vision.

Her eyes fixed on the boy as a penetrating light filled up the alley. Waves of green sweeping across the brick. The formless had stopped their advance to the back of the alley, their clawed hands dropping from her arms, but she didn't move. The light was growing more intense and she could see a form taking shape; a gorilla? It was only there for a moment before all went silent. Time seemed to stand still as the energy pulsed around the boy. When time returned she had to shield her eyes as a massive wave of green energy shot out from around him, the wall moving far past her and into the open streets.

She turned as she heard an inhuman scream cry out from the two formless, joined by those in the street. The monkeys all stood still, staring at the hovering child as the light continued to radiate out from around him.

Miharu found herself crawling towards him, suddenly afraid. She wasn't sure why, but seeing all that power coming from his small body... it couldn't be good.

The light around him began to fade, but all he could do was stare in awe at the boy. Antauri had never seen anything so devastatingly powerful. The formless had all disappeared, destroyed by the wall of energy.

Suddenly, Chiro was falling, no longer held up by the power primate. He ran forward but there was no way he'd reach the boy in time. The others were running as well, desperately trying to reach him before he hit the ground.

They all stopped in surprise when they saw the girl, she was standing under him, her arms out in waiting.

He was falling, but she was ready. She held her arms out, Chiro falling into them. Pain shot through her feet at the weight change and she fell to her knees, holding the boy tightly to her.

She knelt there for a moment longer, making sure she had actually caught him. He wasn't moving. Please be okay... She was terrified. Why wasn't he moving! Carefully she lowered his still form to the ground, gently setting his head down.

The monkeys were there, talking to each other, or was it to her, she couldn't really tell. They were looking over the boy, checking him over to see if there was any damage. All she needed to see was his chest. It was moving up and down slowly. He was breathing. He was alive.

She sat back as Nova, Sprx and Gibson moved around Chiro, the yellow and red monkey taking his arms and the green one taking his legs. She wasn't sure what they were doing until their jet packs fired up and they lifted off of the ground, taking Chiro with them. For a split second, she felt a wave of panic as they flew off, but she calmed herself down, telling herself he would be fine.

Miharu blinked as she felt two pairs of hands take her arms. Antauri and Otto both stood on each side of her, soft smiles on their faces. She let out a short cry in surprise as they quickly flew off the ground and into the air.

oOoOoOo

He didn't yell, or scream. He was upset yes, but there was something more that was taking over his form. Fear. The boy... such power! He'd watched the entire fight from his thrown, overly please at the reaction he had received from the boy when the girl had been pulled away from him. It wasn't until the boy had gone into a rage that the fear had taken over.

Skeleton King gripped the arm of his chair. The light and the wave had terrified him. Never before had he thought the boy could contain so much power. It had destroyed his army within seconds. This was certainly something he never wanted to face.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
