The song in this chapter is No Place That Far, by Westlife. I chose this song cuz it fits with the storyline I think. I'm not sure if the super robot has windows so when it comes to that part imagine there are. ok also when I say they speak English its cuz I don't know what their language or whatever is called.
Disclaimer: don't own anything!
The Horrible Truth
Chapter 4: No Place That Far
Sparx pushed past the various people. He dodged in between the feet of them, while searching for Nova at the same time. He had looked at all her favourite hangouts with no success. As he walked one sentence came to his head '50 ways of saying sorry to a raving mad genius, with out getting experimented on'
Sparx sighed. He would have to return to the robot, and his 'favourite' blue monkey. Good start now how else to butter him up… his thoughts were interrupted by a clash of thunder. Looking up Sparx saw black clouds above the city, with rain falling heavily from them.
Sparx's stroll turned into a sprint as he ran for the robot. He shook the dampness from his fur as he scrambled into the Foot Cruiser. Treading carefully Sparx made his way towards the main room. Sitting inside it were Antauri and Otto.
"Hey Sparx did ya find Nova?" Otto asked as he looked away from the main computer, his hands replaced with blow-torches.
"No" Sparx sighed; he hated to give up on anything, especially finding Nova. He looked doubtfully out the window, staring at the rain as it blotched onto the window.
"Say what you doing Otto?" Sparx asked his green companion, prying his eyesight from the window, back to Otto who was halfway under the computer.
"The thunder has made the robots system faulty, so we won't be going anywhere anytime soon." Otto mumbled obviously paying more attention on his work then team-mate.
"But if Nova wasn't inside and went outside wouldn't she have returned by now?" Otto said sliding from under the computer.
"Yeah she hates rain, and getting her fur wet." Sparx replied. Where is she Sparx was worried for his friend.
"Maybe you should get Gibson to run a scan for her." Antauri said forgetting the fact he had feet, mentally floated over to them.
------
Soon Chiro, Otto, Sparx and Antauri were standing around the blue monkey, who was involved involuntarily, and his small hand-held scanner. They had been waiting for ten minutes for the computer to pick up a signal of their golden friend.
"Geez how long is this thing gonna take?" Chiro asked a bored expression spread across his face.
"It's like she isn't even in Shugazoom!" Sparx complained.
"Sparx your simplistic statement could be correct." Gibson muttered concentrating on his scanner.
"Can we have that in English please Brain-Strain?" Sparx grinned. Gibson gave an irritated sigh. Sensing that this could lead to more arguments Antauri answered for him.
"He means you could be right." Sparx's grin widened. Wow! I got something right! Sparx thought.
-----
Nova sighed as she lay on the floor, her shoulder bruised and battered from attempting to be faster than the ever changing door. Her thoughts wondered back to the super robot, back to her friends. She got up quickly as she heard footsteps behind her.
-----
"So if she isn't in Shugazoom didn't take the Foot Cruiser and didn't tell us where she is going, then where is she!" Sparx said panting from his rather long rant.
I can't imagine any greater fear
Than waking up without you here
And though the sun would still shine on
My whole world would all be gone
But not for long.
"Wait, I'm picking her up!" Gibson stated as Otto looked around.
"How can you pick her up if she isn't here?" Otto concluded.
"It means he has Nova's signal." Antauri explained.
"This is quite upsetting!" Gibson gasped. "Nova's bleep is inside the Citadel Of Bone!"
Sparx stood wide-eyed he hoped and prayed that she was ok.
If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you are
There's no place that far
-----
The Skeleton King towered over Nova as he walked towards her. Nova wanted so badly to just jump and attack him but had enough wisdom to decide against it. The SK grinned as multiple formless picked her up. Her shoulder was weak, and was hurting her. She had no choice but to let them take her.
-----
"But all the power is cut off" Otto shouted over the sound of thunder.
"But how long will it take to fix?" Sparx shouted knowing something had to be done to save his furry friend.
"One of the Fist Rockets are still working though" Otto said.
"Which one?" Antauri asked though he had a faint idea which one it would be. Fate would bring Nova and Sparx together, Antauri just knew it, and now was the time.
"It's Sparx's, Fist Rocket 3" Gibson said after confirming with Otto.
"Then it looks like I'm gonna be saving her" Sparx turned walking towards his red tunnel.
It wouldn't matter why we're apart
Lonely months, two stubborn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much
"Sparx give us a status report once you get there" Antauri said though his communicator.
"Ok" Sparx said firing up the Fist Rocket.
"And we will come as soon as Otto fixes the robot's power!"
Sparx sighed, he felt like he was being treated like a kid being allowed out for the first time.
"Yeah, sure, whatever, can I go now?" Sparx complained.
"Fine" Antauri hoped Sparx could handle it as the Fist Rocket detached from the Robot.
