The Horrible Truth Chapter 9: Harsh Words, a super robot monkey team fanfic

Song in this chapter is 'Hero' By Mariah Carey. You will understand better if you have actually heard the song. It's beautiful.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Ok in this chapter Sparx goes straight onto the last test.

There is a reason and it is that this story is becoming way to long. Also I have a lot of school work and its finally catching up with me. Don't worry it won't spoil the plot or anything like that.

Midnight: Excuses….

Fairy: (gags Midnight) don't mind him, he's cranky. He is my new character and will have his debut in my next fic. It's going to be good.

Midnight: (cuts open gag with claws) Run. For. Your. Life.

Fairy: (runs away)

Midnight: Thank the lord she's gone. Anyways Fairy says if you want any info on me or her upcoming fic check out her profile. Now you may read the next part of the story while I deal with Fairy.

Chapter 9: Harsh Words

Sparx had a bad feeling about his last task. The same robotic voice had stated 'Swimming In Nightmares'. Swimming? I hate swimming! Hang on. I HATE WATER!

After repeating the 'jump through the snakes jaw or get squished' ordeal Sparx looked around. His fears had been realized. Except for the small platform Sparx was standing on and one on the other side of the room, the room held a lot of water.

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

Sparx's P.O.V

I looked around in desperation. They can't do this! I hate water. I felt my feet getting wet and looked down. I instantly wished I didn't. The water was rising and by the looks of the speed of it the water wasn't going to stop until I had drowned.

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

I saw a small object at the bottom of the pool. It was gold and the shine of it danced and the ripples pushed it around. It was… a key? I looked at the door on the other side of the room. There was a big padlock on it.

The water is now up to my knees. I felt the fear eat away at me, its brothers in the crime, Desperation and Panic where eating at me to.

I closed my eyes and prayed, I prayed that the monkey team would save Nova; I prayed that I would somehow get out of here without drowning. Then I saw something, something that would give me the courage, the inner-strength to take that dive into the pool.

It was Nova. She stood in front of me. She was so real, like I could reach out and touch her. She moved closer and closer until she hit me round the face. Ok I must admit I wasn't really expecting that.

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

"What the hell do you think you are doing Sparx?" She shouted at me. I just stared and rubbed my bruised face.

"I said what do you think you are doing!" She demanded.

"I….can't do this" I whispered.

"What! You scared about a little bit of water!" She said. Nova's words stung me. She didn't understand. She didn't know why I was so scared. She didn't know about my past. And I wasn't about to tell her.

"You're not the Sparx I know, The Sparx I know would never give up hope."

I felt the water reach my waist.

"You don't understand" I mumbled.

"No your right, I don't understand, but I would if you'd tell me!" She shouted.

I looked deep into her bubblegum pink eyes. I saw a flicker of sadness before they regained their anger.

"I…..can't" I said looking away from her.

"Who are you?" she muttered. Then she simply stated.

"Because to me this Sparx is a coward." before shaking her head and walking away.

That hurt, that hurt a lot. I watched her walk away her tail didn't swish behind her like normal, instead it dragged limply on the floor

"No wait!" I yelled.

My eyes flicked open. I had only imagined Nova there looking at me. Tears rimmed my eyes but I refused to let them fall.

The water had reached my chest.

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

I heard a little voice, the same little voice that helped me through all the challenges. It was then I realised whose voice it was. Nova's. She had been helping me through this whole ordeal.

It Told me this:

Look what will happen if you don't act soon.

My eyes where forced shut and another vision flashed into my view. It was the real Nova she was tied to the wall still but this time she was in the Skeleton King's throne room.

She barely had enough energy to hold herself upright. Her fur was more a light red then yellow, and blood was running down her face. She looked up at me pleadingly. I saw one ugly cut along her left eye.

By the look of it that was going to scar. She mouthed 'help me' before turning her focus back onto the Skeleton King.

He had blood running down one of his fingers; He had given her that scar. I looked at her again she was barely alive.

"But you can stop this…..if you would take the chance." The voice said.

The water was now up to my chin.

I had to do this…..for Nova.

I took in a breath before pushing myself under the water.

So what do you think? Please R&R or I'll set Midnight on you!

Midnight: (growls)

Ok maybe not sheesh I don't want to kill my reviewers. Ok R&R or I'll…..throw lemons at you!

Midnight: Gee that'll scare them.

Shut up. Was it to sappy? Did the song fit? Please tell me.
