A/N: Okay, guys sorry for totally spacing. I know its been ages since I've updated last. I'm not sure any of my stories have ever gone second page while I've been writing them before. But, I finally updated, so y'all had better read and review:'0( I'm starting school Tuesday. Hope I have time to write during class! (while I'm "doing homework") Anyway I'm going to thank my reviewers now.

Twister91: Um… thanks? I think? Hope you like the new chapter! Review, please!

4EverMonkeyFan: Ha ha, actually that was one I hadn't thought of. I was thinking more of the close up of Gibson in "In the Grip of Evil" where he's swatting the Flytor and you can see fuzzy Gibson fur underneath! Enjoy the next chapter!

Dreamstar: Thanks!

Crystal Sapphire: Thanks, glad you liked it. I thought the whole Otto's facial hair thing would add just the right amount of comic relief to the story and based on everyone' reaction, it worked!

Beastfire: Yup, that was one of the instances I was thinking of. When are they going to show that episode again, it's one of my favorites! But anyway, hope you enjoy the next chapter, review please!

jinx-the-misunderstood: He he, well you'll find out what happens to his beard in this latest installment! Please R&R!

Burning Fantasy: Yes! I am SO back! Glad you noticed! And I'm also glad you're liking my story. Please read the newest chapter, enjoy it, and tell me what you think of it!

BeastBoysGrl: No. Technically, his name is SPRX-77 he's said so several times, and I prefer to call him by his real name, and he doesn't care that I do so. But I'm glad you liked my story enough to review and hope that you do so again.

AnimeFanGirl11: Yes, I'd love to have my own life size Robot Monkey model, because it would be FUZZY! And I think we both know which monkey we could get first. ;-) I know I don't have to tell you to review, so, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! Ttyl8r! and Enjoy!

Yukomon: Glad you're liking it so far! Hope you R&R again!

Chapter 2

Nova gasped as her surroundings disappeared and moments later she appeared inside of the Skeleton King's Citadel of Bone. She shook off the formless that had been holding onto her and was surprised when they offered no resistance. The two formless backed away slowly.

Nova spun around and saw something she had only seen twice before: the colossal throne of the Skeleton King. And in it, sat the old bone bag himself.

She frowned when she saw him, but deep down she was afraid. She was facing a powerful foe alone. "Why did you bring me here?" she asked loudly and without her voice wavering at all.

The Skeleton King laughed evilly. "Do you think that I will simply reveal my entire plan to you?" He chuckled to himself again. "Certainly not. All you need to do, my dear, is be yourself and everything will work itself out."

Nova was sure the walls of this place could never stand up to a large attack from her powerful fists. She jumped high into the air. "Lady Tomahawk!" she yelled, but was surprised when the force of gravity was thwarted as she stood suspended in the air.

She glanced over at the Skeleton King. He had his arm in the air and his hand in the shape as if he were grabbing something. She then realized he was grabbing something: her.

He threw his arm towards the ceiling. Nova knew what was going to happen next. WHAM! She hit the ceiling and came smashing down against the floor. Before she knew what was happening, she was slammed repeatedly off of all surfaces of the room. When her body finally rested once more on the ground, she looked up towards the Skeleton King. He was smiling. For that second, with her metal body bent in several places, she could only think one thing: "ouch."

But as the fog of her mind cleared, she began to wonder, 'Why? What purpose could there possibly be for killing me? What is his motive?' She once again looked up. The Skeleton King was collecting a large ball of energy in his hand, and pointing it towards her. She closed her eyes and got ready to endure the pain of the forthcoming danger.

SPRX-77 rubbed his head. The annoying and painful ringing that had been pulsing through his mind was gone, but the formless still held his arms firmly.

He looked around and identified the place as the throne room in the Citadel of Bone. He knew the place well, as this was the fourth time he had been in the room, though the last time, the Skeleton King hadn't been present. But this time, he was.

He shook his head to clear it and think clearly. He tried to piece together what had happened so he could figure out what was happening. Nova was being thrown around the room by the Skelton King. SPRX-77 stood at the back of the room, and when he figured out what was happening, he struggled to get free, but the formless didn't loosen their grip. "How did she get here?" Then he realized formless who got him probably alerted some other formless to grab her. He growled at himself, "I can't believe I called attention to myself like that. I should've known they'd get her, too."

SPRX-77 saw Nova fall to the ground. It looked like Skeleton King was done. But…was Nova okay? He saw her move. She was still alive. SPRX-77's eyes widened: the Skeleton King was going to attack her again! A giant charge of energy was filling in his glove and he was about to unleash it upon Nova!

Suddenly, he felt the formless let go of his arms and without a thought he took off towards Nova. He jumped between the Skeleton King and Nova. "Back off, Winghead!"

The Skeleton King laughed again. "I suggest you move, unless you desire the feeling of the icy grave."

"I won't let you hurt her," SPRX-77 said, not moving. He stared directly into the eyes of the Skeleton King, but he saw no compassion or surprise in them. This didn't shock him, but now SPRX-77 let his eyes dart around the room, looking for a way of escape. The Skelton King's arm didn't waver but continued to point at the two helpless monkeys.

"Sparks! Run! Get out of here!" SPRX-77 heard Nova whisper behind him.

He glanced back at her, "Not without you." As he looked back, he saw a metal plank lying, out of place, against the back wall. He shot out his magnets and pulled that plank in front of him as fast as he could. At that instant, the Skeleton King shot the laser that was contained in his hand.

The energy hit the plank that SPRX-77 was holding, sending him flying over Nova, backwards, causing him to hit the back wall with such amazing force that when he once again fell to the ground, he was in too much pain to return to his feet.

He groaned and looked up at the Skeleton King, expecting him to be upset at the fact that his plan had been foiled, but was surprised to find him smiling instead.

"Good," the Skeleton King mused, grinning maniacally. He signaled a couple of formless still standing nearby. "Take these two to a cell."

The formless went over and picked them up, slinging them over their shoulders as SPRX-77 and Nova were powerless to defend themselves.

The two were carried down what seemed to be countless halls. As they traveled, the two monkeys barely looked at each other, and when they did it was never at the same time.

The four finally arrived at the cell. It was simply a room with bars that were made out of the same solid as the walls. Without even the press of a button the bars dissipated. The formless roughly threw the two monkeys into the room, and then the bars grew back in seconds.

They heard the slimy footsteps of the formless disappear into the distance.

SPRX-77 and Nova laid there in the icy silence for an immeasureable amount of time. Neither knew how long it had been since they had been happily residing safely on their home planet. SPRX-77 wondered how he could possibly have been laughing just that morning. Now he wasn't even sure he would survive. Though he realized he had to be tough. He finally sruggled to sit up, and then crawled over to where Nova was lying. "Nova, are you okay?"

She groaned and turned to one side. "Oh, I've been better."

SPRX-77 smiled. 'That's Nova, still not feeling sorry for herself even in this situation,' he thought.

"Can you sit up?" he inquired.

"Yeah," she said, "help me up."

He grabbed both of her hands and helped her up; he noticed then how weak she was. Never before had he seen her so fragile. This seemed to give him more strength. He reached one arm under her knees and another behind her back, and slowly stood up. She didn't protest, or even say anything at all.

He got up and walked towards what he assumed to be a wall. When he did find a wall with his foot, he stopped. Nova seemed so at peace. He set her down on the floor against the wall so that it would be easier for her to sit up, and then sat down next to her.

"Thanks," she finally said.

He looked at her, "No problem."

He didn't know whether it was because of weariness or…anything else, but Nova leander her head on SPRX-77's shoulder. "So, things seem kinda hopeless, huh?"

"Nah," he responded, "I'd wager any second the rest of our team will smash their way through that wall over there and we'll be back home."

BOOM!

A giant explosion erupted from the Super Robot's main computer.

Two whooshes later, Antauri and Chiro were running into the smoke-filled room calling the names of their two companions.

Chiro shielded his eyes from the smoke. "Gibson?" He coughed, "Otto?" He heard Antauri calling the same names. He looked up and saw him hovering above the smoke.

Then, they heard the familiar voice of Gibson calling out, "No fear! No fear! We're all right!"

Antauri turned his tail into a fan and blew the smoke away from the source of the voice.

When the smoke finally cleared, it revealed Gibson and Otto standing next to eachother, both coughing heavily. Antauri returned to ground level and Chiro ran up to them.

For the third time in one day, Chiro was struck by Otto's face, which now had no hair on it anywhere.

Antauri looked over at the mainframe, which had much of it black and burnt from the explosion. He looked at the two primates before him. Otto was dusting himself off while Gibson glared at him angrily. Chiro was getting a kick out of the situation, but Antauri was not happy. "What happened?" he demanded to know, quite seriously.

Gibson, still glaring at Otto, explained. "Well, things were going well, but I hadn't yet found any evidence of a malfunction. Then I told Otto I needed some of the power on the control panel shut down so that I could further examine the extent of the problem. So, he went over to the main circuit breaker and what does he do?" Gibson frowned even harder and pointed at Otto as he spoke, "He turns off the safety switch!"

Otto shrugged, "Well, I…"

Gibson cut him off before he could explain. "…therefore causing a chain reaction of explosions as a power overload occurred repeatedly throughout the hard drive, resulting in a complete systems overload, and, well… you can probably figure the rest."

"But Otto," Chiro wondered, "what happened to your face this time?"

"Well," explained Otto, "let's just say that one of the explosions happened inside of the circuit box, and well," Otto paused, "hair burns."

Chiro bust out laughing at the thought of this, this time, however, he was the only one laughing.

"Otto," Antauri asked, "what could possibly possess you to turn off the safety? You're a mechanic!"

"Well," started Otto, pondering, "it seemed like a good idea at the time."

Chiro, who had stopped laughing to hear Otto's explaination, found this even more funny than before.

"This is hardly a laughing matter, Chiro, Antauri announced, "Not only are we down a main computer, but we have no way of knowing if Skeleton King, or any of our other enemies will atack."

"I wouldn't be too worried," commented Gibson, "the chances of Skeleton King attacking in the time frame our computers are estimated to be down as opposed to the time they've been up recently, give or take a couple of hours, are approximately 27.28 to one."

"That's…good, right?" wondered Otto.

Otto's question was ignored as Chiro noticed SPRX-77 and Nova's continued absence. "Say, shouldn't Sparks and Nova be back by now?"

"Ah, I'm sure they're okay," assured Otto.

"One cane hope," Antauri said, completely unaware of the dire peril his friends were currently encountering.
