Ch.8
Hey guys! Thankies soo much for the wonderful reviews .Oh and Snowkat please don't send the Amish after me! I'm sick, don't be mean to the sick person!
The Hyper Force patiently waited in the control room of the run down Super Robot while Gigi and Gibson worked effortlessly on the three fallen robot monkeys that they had saved. Sirkit was lying down on an old couch that wasn't facing Chiro and the others.
"This is taking forever," Otto whined, "What's taking them so long?"
"I agree," Nova said, "Those other robot monkeys didn't look that bad."
"True, but there might but injuries not visible on the outside," Antauri said.
"Forget about their injuries, what I want to know is what Sirkit and her little friend didn't tell us," Sparx said.
"What do you mean?" Otto asked.
"I'm not really sure. I just got a feeling we're being left out of the loop," said Sparx.
"Holly Shruggazoom, you mean there's more?" Chiro complained.
"Only one way to find out," Nova said as she turned to the couch.
The rest of the team followed Nova's gaze and saw Sirkit's foot over the top of the warn down couch, tapping the air every few seconds. Chiro walked over to the poor excuse for furniture determined to finally get all the info he wanted.
"Sirkit," he started, "We know you're not telling us everything and I think we deserve to know what it is,"
No answer.
"Sirkit?" Chiro asked as he peered over the couch.
Sirkit had two jumper cables attached to each ear and was humming quietly with her eyes closed.
"Sirkit? Are you listening to me?" Chiro asked as he waved his hand in front of Sirkit's face.
"Maybe she went deaf," Otto said as he and the others joined Chiro.
"Nah, it looks like she's listening to music, "Nova said.
Chiro nudged Sirkit genially. The maroon monkey popped her eyes open and sat up.
"Oh, Chiro," Sirkit said as she took of the small jumper cables, "I didn't hear you over my music. What do you need?"
"Ugh, yeah," Chiro started feeling a little awkward, "The team and I think you're holding back some important info."
"Yeah so?"
"Well why don't you tell us?" Chiro asked.
"Gigi already said we can't," Sirkit said.
"Gigi said a lot of things," Sparx said, "but that doesn't mean you have to do them."
"Look Sparx, I can understand that you don't trust us. I wouldn't either if
I were you, "Sirkit said angrily. "But don't you dare make fun of Gigi or any of my friends,"
"Yeah? Or else what?" Sparx taunted.
"Or else you'll have to deal with me," Sirkit threatened as her hand transformed into giant magnets.
"Bring it on sister," Sparx said as he too transformed his hands.
"Sirkit! This is not the time nor place to fight," ordered a semi-deep voice from behind.
Everyone looked behind and saw a black monkey with lime colored eyes standing with bandages here and there. Standing to one side of him was Gibson who was supporting an orange monkey with navy blue eyes and on the other side of the black monkey was Gigi who was also supporting a dark green robot monkey who had black eyes.
"Atalo!" Sirkit shouted, "You're walking and talking!"
Sirkit quickly ran to the black monkey and hugged him tightly.
"Ach! It's nice to see you too Sirkit," Atalo ground, "but you're hurting me,"
"Oh sorry," Sirkit said as she let go.
"Hey, I'm in worse shape then he is," the orange monkey said.
"I can't believe I missed your attitude Nox," Sirkit said as she hugged him as well.
"Don't forget abut me. I want a hug too," the dark green monkey said from Gigi's shoulder.
"Don't worry Otis, I didn't forget my little brother," Sirkit said sweetly and genially hugged him.
"Well not that this family reunion isn't exciting but if you don't mind I would like to get some answers today please," Sparx said.
Atalo nodded and asked for help as he, Nox, and Otis were sat next to a wall for support.
"Are you sure about this Atalo?" Gigi asked, "Who knows what might happen if you tell them."
"The time line is already screwed up Gigi, might as well screw it up more," Nox said.
"Yay! I heart story time," Otis squeaked.
"Me too!" Otto said.
"Otto let the monkey speak," Nova said.
"Thank you," Atalo began, "43 years ago the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force finally destroyed the Skeleton King worm and returned to Shruggazoom as heroes. The galaxy no longer needed your protection so all of you started new lives but kept a watchful eye on Shruggazoom just incase evil returned. 43 years later, made from the remains of the evil worm, the Skeleton Prince was born. Bent on revenge for his 'father's' death he created us as tools to exacted his rage. We snuck into the city with ease, with everyone thinking we were you. We attacked without thought ruining the Hyper Forces' good name. We took control of the city but it didn't take the Hyper force long to come to Shruggazoom's rescue. We fought for what seemed like days when you finally won. But instead of finishing us like any other monster, you took mercy on my Team and me. You took us in and treated us like your own children and began to teach us for the day we replaced you as protectors of Shruggazoom."
"That was a good story," Otis said.
"So you're our children?" Nova asked.
"In a way, I guess," Nox said, "Considering we were modeled after you and all that jazz."
"I bet you can't guess witch of us is whose kid," Otis said.
"Sparx is Sirkit father, Gibson to Gigi, Nova is Nox's mother, Otto is your father and Atalo is my son," Antauri answered.
"Awww, party pooper," Otis complained.
"Well this would explain why the two females us uncle," Gibson said.
"It was hard not to call Sparx dad," Sirkit said, "since I've been calling him that for seven years now."
"So where's my descendant?" Chiro asked.
"Sorry Chiro, but we don't have a chosen one yet, "Otis answered.
"We're not even sure if we get a chosen one since were evil to begin with," Nox added.
"No, our chosen one is out there and they will find us when the time is right," Atalo said.
"Whatever you say Atalo, you're the mystic monkey," Nox said with a shrug.
"So if everything was going to well, why were the Time Rings invented?" Nova asked.
"To fix the toaster," Otis answered.
"Yeah being a super hero doesn't pay for toaster repairs all that well," Nox said.
"Uh-huh, and toaster parts don't exist anymore," Otis added. "So I built the rings so I could back in time and get the parts I needed to fix it."
"But then something happened," Sirkit said, "we don't know what but something happened."
"What ever happened it distorted the time line completely," Gigi added, "and then this mess came along."
"So how do we get back home?" Chiro asked.
"You can't without the Time Rings," Otis said with a blank face.
"And the Skeleton Prince has the rings," Atalo said darkly.
"So what?" Sparx said, "We'll just take them back."
"For once I agree with Sparx," Nova said, "What else is there to do?"
"Wow…did you just agree with me Nova?" Sparx asked surprised.
"Don't be so shocked Sparx," Nova huffed.
"Anyway," Gibson interrupted annoyingly, "back to the matter at hand. How do we get the rings back?"
"Easy," Nox said, "Steal them back."
"Yeah, but how?" Chiro said.
"The Skeleton Prince knows we'll be back for the Time Rings; it's just a matter of time," Gigi said.
"We'll need that time to come up with a plane," Atalo said.
"But we need to wait until the boo-boos are gone," Otis added.
Atalo smiled, "Don't worry Otis, we'll wait until our wounds ate completely healed before we go."
"What's the fun in that?" Nox jested.
"Until then," Antauri said, "You three go back to the sick bay and rest."
"Aww…but I don't wanna," Otis whined.
"No buts about it mister," Nova said, "Go to bed."
"I'll take them back," Sirkit said as she lifted the three male monkeys into the air with her magnet powers.
Sirkit left Gigi with the Hyper Force as she made her way to the sick bay.
"Well it looks like everything is going as planed," Gigi said thinking out loud.
"What do you mean?" Chiro asked.
"Hm? Oh, well you see Sirkit and I were hoping you would help us from the beginning, that's the only reason we agreed to go into the past. But we need to fool the evil prince, since he has magic of unknown capabilities, just incase he was watching," Gigi explained. "But it wasn't easy mind you. It took every once of strength to even try to attack you again. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to tend to my friends."
"Well now that everything is explained, I suggest we get some sleep," Gibson said when Gigi left the room.
"Where are we suppose to sleep? The floor?" Otto asked.
"I guess, where else is there?" Nova said.
"Great, first we get monkey-napped to the future and now we have to sleep on the floor. This is the tanks we get for helping them?" Sparx joked.
Nova smacked Sparx hard on the head, "Shut up Sparx. That's our future you're insulting."
While the Hyper Force looked for the softest spot in the control room, Gigi was just about to enter the sick bay when she hard Nox and Sirkit talking.
"So how are they?" Nox asked.
"They're sleeping and you should be too," Sirkit said.
Gigi peeked around the corner and saw Sirkit standing near Nox who was lying on a medical table. Sirkit was just about to leave when Nox grabbed her hand.
"Sirkit, I…I just wanted to say, b-before it's too late, t-that I-I love you,"
Sirkit smiled, "Stop talking nonsense you big ijet. That's just the pain talking."
But before Nox could say anything more Sirkit kissed him passionately on his lips.
"Now get some sleep," Sirkit said as she left the room.
Nox smiled and quickly fell asleep.
"You know neither of you will remember your love after this is all over," Gigi said as Sirkit entered the halls.
"Yeah, I know," Sirkit said with a tear in her eye.
Gigi watched silently as Sirkit walked down the hall. She shook her head and walked into the sick bay.
"Arg!" Chiro ground, "The floor is way too hard just to sit on it."
Just then, as if to answer Chiro's complaints, Sirkit came in holding folded blankets in her arms.
"Why don't you come sleep in the sick bay with me and the others? Not only is more comfy, I'm sure we'll enjoy your company," Sirkit said smiling, even though it was obvious that she had been crying.
"Ugh Sirkit, are you ok?" Otto asked.
"I'm fine," the maroon monkey said through her face smile, "Come and follow me please."
The Hyper Force made no further comment and followed Sirkit out of the room.
Well that's Ch.8 for you. Sorry it took so long. I was going to try to put the end of my story in this chapter but it would have been too long. Maybe I'll make my last chapter more like a half of a Chapter or maybe I'll some how make it long enough to be chapter worthy. You'll just have to wait until I get the last (or I think the last) chapter up. Well until then!
