Chapter 3

Nighttime fell upon the Super Robot as the sun set beyond the eastern horizon. Gibson and Otto had made several repairs on the main computer, but it was far from up and running.

"It started as a little glitch, and it turned into a complete system redo. Who would have guessed?" Gibson said to himself, dusting off his hands.

Otto walked out repeating items he needed to order, repeating them so that he would remember to write them down.

"So, do you know if Sparks and Nova ever came back?" Gibson inquired.

Otto pondered for a second. "I think I heard Antauri say they'd come back earlier," he said. The truth is he didn't remember Antauri saying that exactly, but Antauri had come in and said something about the two, and he assumed that meant that they had returned.

"Well," Gibson replied, "that's good. I'm glad they've returned."

Gibson yawned quietly, "I believe I'm going to turn in." started to walk towards his launch tube.

Otto scratched his head, "to what?"

Gibson sighed, ignoring the question. "Goodnight Otto," he said, irritated. He then walked into his tube and headed up to his room.

Otto shrugged. He turned around, fully intending to play video games, but remembered he couldn't as soon as he saw the tangled mess that once was the system. "Oh yeah," he said, and turned to head upstairs.

As Otto was reaching the bedroom level, Gibson was walking by Chiro in the hall. "I heard Sparks and Nova came back well," Gibson said talking casually to Chiro.

"Oh?" Chiro asked, assuming they must have come back while he was in his room. "Well, that's good then," he replied. He looked around, "where are they?"

Gibson shrugged, "I assume they've bone to sleep already, considering how late it is."

"You're probably right," Chiro said. "And I'll be joining them in slumber land, now. G'night!"

"Good night!" Gibson and Otto said in unison. They then, too retired.

And at that time, every member of the monkey team was sleeping, but not all as peacefully as others.

SPRX-77 bolted awake. He gasped for air as he glanced around the room. It was anyone's guess what woke him up, there were no sounds now, and maybe it was a dream. He didn't even remember falling asleep.

Suddenly, a frightening realization draped over him: the yellow body that had been leaning against him was now absent. He jumped to his feet and frantically looked around. "Nova? Nova?"

"Calm down, Sparks," Nova said, her voice coming from the opposite end of the room, "I'm right here."

SPRX-77 breathed a sigh of relief, and waked in the direction of the voice. A big of light revealed her golden yellow face.

"Well," he said, placing one hand on his hip in more relief than he was revealing, "you seem well."

"Yeah," she said, "I guess the rest did me some good."

"I wonder how long we were out," SPRX-77 wondered allowed.

"Ehh, I couldn't guess, but it must've been a long time."

Silence followed, there didn't seem to be anything else to say.

Since nothing was being said, Nova returned to what she had been doing, feeling the wall with her hands, from top to bottom.

SPRX-77 raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?" he asked.

Nova placed an ear on the wall, and then faced SPRX-77 again. "Trying to find the weak spots in the wall," she responded.

SPRX-77's eyes widened in understanding, "So we can bust outa here! Brilliant Nova!"

She feigned blowing on and cleaning off her nails on her shirt, "I try." She returned to her position, this time moving onto a new spot in the wall.

In a second, she looked back over at SPRX-77, who was still standing there.

"Uh, you want to help, Sparks?"

"Oh, yeah, sorry."

SPRX-77 and Nova began scanning every inch of that room. It took a couple of hours, but he finally called out. "Hey, Nova! This spot's more hollow. I can hear things through it."

"What things?"

"It just sounds like formless moving."

"Good, we'll wait until we don't hear them through them anymore, and then I'll smash through it."

"Are you sure you're up to that? I mean, this stuff is solid bone. It's practically rock."

Nova shot him an "are you kidding" look. "Now, Sparks, would you deny me my one life's love?"

SPRX-77 laughed, breaking stuff. "No, of course not."

The two of them put their heads back up to the wall.

"I don't hear anything," he said.

"Okay, then let me at it!" She turned her hands into fists and pulled it back. And with all of her force, she slammed it into the wall.

And it went into the wall.

The bone had suddenly turned into goo, like vertical quicksand.

"Ah!" she cried, her hand completely immersed in the glop, "it's pulling me in!"

She looked back at her hand, but she was now in up to her shoulder. She looked down; her foot was stuck now, too.

"Nova!" he grabbed her hand and pulled on her as hard as she could. But the opposing force was too strong.

Nova's other foot had been sucked in. The only thing keeping her out of the muck was SPRX-77's hands, which held onto hers. She could tell that he was hanging on as much as he could. She could see the sweat on his brow. An image flashed across her eyes.

This was her dream; a mysterious force was pulling them apart. Her dream was coming true. She gasped for air. She was in up to her neck.

"Nova! Hang on! Don't let go!"

He was sweating. That was a mistake.

"Sparks! I'm slipping!"

"Don't let go!"

But SPRX-77's hand was too slippery. All that was emerged was her face, but their hands slipped and the rest went flying through the wall.

All that was left was the scream of Nova, calling the name of the bright red monkey as she was pulled into the wall. SPRX-77 ran up to it and pounded on it, but it was now solid again and no matter how much he attacked it, it didn't reliquify.

He banged on the wall a few more times, out of anger. As tears filled his eyes, and he cried. He wasn't able to save her. He promised himself that he would do anything to be able to save her, but he couldn't. He was in the room, alone. The sound of his tears hitting the floor was all that remained.

Nova hit the floor, hard. She had been holding her breath through the wall, which was much less thick than she had expected it to be. Honestly, she had expected to be solidified in the wall, left forever to die there. It wasn't outside the realm of possibility.

But there she was, on the other side, surrounded by an army of formless. She instantly got ready for battle. "Lady Tomahawk!" She jumped up and brought her fists down on the ground, destroying several formless. "Sting Ring!" she put her hands together and rays came out, destroying the formless that lay ahead of her.

Suddenly, she was grabbed by several formless from behind. She tried to turn around, but the grabbed onto her back so that even when she spun around, they were still behind her. And they increased in number. The pile grew heavier, until they had her to the ground.

Half of the formless grabbed one of her arms and the other half the other, and they pulled her up to a wall. The wall instantly changed, as solid bone was instantly formed around her wrists, as well as her ankles. She struggled to get free, but couldn't.

She subdued, and stopped trying. She couldn't release herself.

Sighing, she realized:

"Today is not a good day."

Okay, I know it looks bad now but I promise it will have a happy ending. But please review! Thanks so much!
