A/N: Hey everybody! I know it's been forever, but I'm finally starting my next story for all to enjoy! First of all, I'd like to tell you once and for all that I don't own Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce, Go! or any of the characters which I am using. They belong to somebody named Ciro Nieli whom I hold in the utmost regard.
Anyway, I know I said I'd do a humor fic next, but let's just say it's not my area of expertise. Instead, I'm doing something a few have begged me to do and I'm going to do a bit of SPRX-77/Nova-izing. What does that mean? Well, you'll find out. The good news is I hope that this will have just as much action/adventure as usual and I've put in some humor to boot. So sit back, relax and enjoy this newest fic: Binds of Love.
Chapter 1
Nova grabbed for SPRX-77's hand. "No!" she yelled. For a brief moment she had her fingers firmly grasped around his hand. But only for a moment. They were both pulled away from each other, violently. She scrambled to get free, but couldn't. And with one loud yell, she screamed his name into space, while she saw him disappear into blackness.
Nova jolted awake, SPRX-77's name still on her lips and freely flowing throughout her thoughts. She gasped for air as she noticed she was damp with sweat. She had the dream again. Her thoughts could not drift from it. She opened her mouth to reassure and pacify herself, but as she spoke only one word escaped her lips: "Sparks…"
SPRX-77 yawned as he woke up and rubbed his eyes. The clock read 9:00 AM, which would normally be a fitting amount of rest, but not today. Last night had been a fitful night but he had no idea why. Often he had awaken, tossed and turned but could not get back to sleep. For many people this wouldn't be unusual, but it was something quite new to SPRX-77. As he laid awake the previous night, he couldn't help but feel he was missing something. There was something he was supposed to know, but it had passed him by. He shook his head in order to rid his mind of such oddities, and then got up to continue his day.
It was morning, and in the main room in the torso tank of the Super Robot, the team was slowly beginning to assemble. Antauri and Gibson were the first to arrive, talking about the lack of criminal or diabolical activity in the past month. They were followed soon after by Otto, who, for some unusual reason had the area around his chin a strange pinkish shade of green. Gibson was the first to notice.
"Otto! What in Shuggazoom have you done to yourself?" he asked.
"Well," started Otto," I was talking to Chiro yesterday. He mentioned how he couldn't wait until he was old enough to shave. Well I figure, I'm way older than Chiro so shouldn't I be shaving already? So I tried it!"
Antauri slapped his hand to his forehead, "Oh, Otto…"
"What?" Otto asked, innocently.
"Otto, young human men shave facial hair often because of a lack of even growth of hair, or because they simply prefer a bare face. They fail to appreciate a full face of hair such as many primates possess. In my opinion it's simply that human minds don't have the capacity to understand-"
Gibson was interrupted mid sentence by a whoosh as Chiro entered the gathering.
"What's this about human minds Gibson?" Chiro asked, walking into the room.
Gibson pseudo-coughed then added, "Oh, nothing."
It was then that Chiro noticed Otto. "Otto, what happened to your face?"
Otto, disheartened after Gibson's lecture about shaving turned away and said, "Nothing".
Another whoosh was heard as SPRX-77 walked into the room. Otto had turned back around to see who had entered the room, but now regretted doing so. The instant SPRX-77 saw Otto's face, he burst out laughing, keeling over in laughter. "You, you look like you rolled your entire chin in used bubble gum!"
This got Chiro cracking up, too. Gibson began to chuckle and even Antauri smiled. Otto had no choice but to stand in the middle of it all and take it. Finally he took out one of his saws and looked at his reflection in it. He couldn't help laughing hysterically at himself.
"Well," he said still laughing, "I hope it grows back fast." This got another round of laughter from everyone.
The laughter was at such a great volume that no one noticed as Nova entered the room, still thinking to herself, and completely unaware of the commotion in the room. "I'm going out for a walk," she said. Though no one acknowledged her, she walked back to her tube and soon found herself walking out of the Foot Crusher Cruiser 6.
She sighed as she walked around. Her dream still haunted her. She told herself she was walking to get away from the dream, but at this time, the memory of that dream was stronger than it had ever seemed before.
Mentally, Nova leafed through memories of the team in the past years. But never had she ever gone through an experience like that of her dream. The closest thing was when she and SPRX-77 had grabbed the last slice of pizza at the same time, and the team had to literally pull her off of him as the two fought over it. But, the dream couldn't be in reference to that, could it?
After the commotion in the Super Robot finally quieted down, the team began to go about normal daily activities. Gibson grabbed Otto by the arm and pulled him into the lab, promising to come up with a hair growth treatment. Meanwhile Antauri, SPRX-77, and Chiro stayed in the main room to digitally scan and survey the city.
"Say," said SPRX-77, "where's Nova? I haven't seen her all morning."
Chiro pointed to a yellow dot on the screen, "looks like she's taking a walk around Shuggazoom Park."
"Oh." SPRX-77 looked around the room, not impressed by the lack of entertainment. "Uhhhh…" SPRX-77 pondered, "I'm going to make sure Nova's okay."
"Suit yourself," Chiro said.
SPRX-77 headed back to his tube and a few moments later was seen walking out of the robot.
"You know, it really is weird how we haven't had any troubles with bad guys in, what's it been, a month?" Chiro commented.
"Nothing since our hunt for the Citadel of Bone. I'd have suspected that the Skeleton King would have done something by this juncture," Antauri answered.
"Yeah," Chiro agreed, "like I said: weird." He glanced over to the screens, "I just wonder what the Skeleton King could possibly do if he's not attacking us."
"Probably making plans to do so," Antauri once more answered.
"I just can't shake the feeling that we're missing something."
"Agreed. Either that or that something ominous is soon going to happen."
Silence followed as the two filed through a number of views of the city and surrounding airspace. Suddenly, a colored light flashed on the screen in the park.
"Hey!" Chiro said, pointing to it, "What's this?"
Antauri looked up at it, but it was only there for a second before it flashed off. "Odd…" he commented.
The two continued to stare at the screen to see if something would happen. A few seconds later, the light flashed once more for a few seconds then turned off.
Gibson and Otto ran into the room, reacting to the noise made when the lights flickered.
Otto had a long, green beard flowing from his chin. Chiro looked at Otto, then Gibson, then back at Otto, finally returning his gaze at Gibson.
"We're still working on it," Gibson commented, looking over at Otto.
"Actually, it's kind of cool. Almost like a green garden gnome!" remarked Chiro.
"Oh ha ha ha. Just see how you'd like it if Gibson starts experimenting on you." Otto said back.
"The lights flickered on and off twice in Shuggazoom Park," Antauri explained, turning to Gibson.
"Yes, quite odd. No doubt if there were any real danger it would have shown up on the screen for longer than a second or two. I wouldn't worry about it. Perhaps a few bugs in the system. I'll check it out right away," responded Gibson.
"Ahem," Otto said, and pointed to his beard, "what about this?"
"Otto, Otto, you have to prioritize. Now come on and give me a hand with this," Gibson answered.
"Oh, all right," replied Otto.
SPRX-77 walked at a quickened pace towards Shuggazoom Park. He slowed down when he saw Nova at a distance. He thought her such a peaceful and graceful creature, even when she was kicking butt she was beautiful. He wondered what she could be thinking about.
Suddenly, he heard a whizzing sound next to him on both sides. On his left and his right wereformless! SPRX-77 ejected his magnets ready to whoop them good, but one of the formless pulled out a strange gun-shaped weapon and pointed it at SPRX-77. The formless pulled the trigger and suddenly SPRX-77 fell to his knees in pain.
Strange sound waves were flowing athim. He covered his ears to stop it, but couldn't. He cried out loudly in pain, hoping to signal Nova, which he did.
Nova heard SPRX-77 call out a long way behind her. Was he stalking me? she wondered. But she had no time to think about it. SPRX-77 was on his knees crying out as a formless was pointing some ray-gun thing at him. She bolted, running towards him with all of her might. But when was still several feet away, the formless, SPRX-77, and the ray gun disappeared before her eyes.
"Huh?" she said, and ran to examine the place where he had disappeared. She stopped when she got there and looked around. She had no idea how they had disappeared. Suddenly, she gooey formless hands firmly grab her upper arms and hold them tightly behind her back. And in an instant all of her surroundings disappeared into thin air.
A/N: Well there's chapter one! How do you like it so far? I hope you like it enough to review it! Thanks to all and enjoy!
Oh, by the way. There's some debate on whether or not the monkeys actually have fur or not. And if you couldn't tell in this fic I'm going on the fact that they do. And I have a few lines I could quote too so I don't want any reviews saying that they don't have fur.
Okay, please review!
