Chapter 8: Friends and Forgiveness
Sparx sighed; the Otto clone had begun to do a dance that looked a lot like ballet. Sparx had given up trying to tell it to help him; he didn't want to hurt his new friend's feelings.
Flashback
The clone was flicking the end of Sparx's tail.
"Sparx I'm bored…." It whined
"Well if you weren't so forgetful and stupid then I wouldn't even be here!" Sparx shouted pulling his tail out of 'flicking range' Sparx sat in silence for a while before he heard…..sniffing? Don't look you got to show him you're angry! His mind said.
But somewhere in Sparx his sensitivity was worming its way to the surface. Sparx really did care about his family and friends but didn't show it. Sparx turned round instantly whishing he didn't.
There sitting behind him was the Otto clone, but the happiness around it was missing. His eyes were filled with tears and his tail flopped to the floor. His coat didn't have the beautiful green…glow to it, it seemed lifeless and dull.
The clone sniffed again before mumbling out some words
"Nobody ever visits me, nobody except the Skeleton King, and when he dose he hits me and treats me horribly. I don't have any friends…. Nobody loves me……." Otto trailed off.
Sparx had a few tears in his eyes. But he was determined not to show them. The Otto clone looked up at him; Sparx quickly blinked the tears away.
"Hey mini Otto" Sparx said to the little clone sitting at his feet I can't believe I'm about to say this...
"I'm sorry…. Friends?" Sparx said holding out his hand. The Otto looked confused but then took Sparx's hand and shook it
"Friends" the clone said his eyes filled with tears.
End Flashback
"Hey lil buddy do you think you could help me out now?" Sparx saw the sorrow in the little Otto's eyes, Sparx had told the mini Otto about why he was here and that he was doing this quest for Nova. Otto understood.
"Anything for my friend." Otto said he walked over to the iron bars he mumbled a few words before the bars shot up.
Sparx said a final goodbye and ran through the door and landed in the lobby again.
The green door was slightly ajar and through it Sparx heard the Skeleton King's voice although it was too muffled to hear what he had said.
Sparx then heard a scream and metal hitting the tiled floor. The Otto clone was being punished…..because of him.

Ok I think Sparx was a bit out of character in this chapter but please R&R and tell me what you think.
