Ch.4
Man am I bored! And there's no way I'm going to homework before dinner. So I guess I'll type away and work on my other story during the week. Please R&R and tell me how I'm doing. Thanks!
When we entered the room Gibson was talking about something to Sparx and Chiro but stopped immediately when he saw me.
"Ah, god we're all here," Gibson said and cleared his throat.
"So what's the big news Gibson?" Nova asked.
"Yeah what's this news I've been hearing about?" I asked.
"First we need to know your name before we can get started," Chiro said, "We can't just call you girl anymore," he cackled.
"I didn't tell you my name yet?" I said with a confused look.
"No, you have no," Antauri said.
"Ah! Sorry I can be such a bone head some times. My name is Taylor McFay, I'm fifteen years old and I'm the youngest of tree girls," I said with pride.
"Why did you tell us the other info?" Sparx asked.
"I wanted to."
"Well telling us your age was actually helpful," Gibson said.
The blue monkey brought up a holographic model of a DNA strand. The strand look normal if compared to the text book pictures except instead of having six different colors like my science book said DNA had, the molecule seem to have random colors in random stops.
"This is your, that Taylor's, DNA," Gibson explained. "The colors are what concern me the most."
"Why? Is that bad?" I asked nervously.
"In a way….yes," Gibson said. "It appears that the worm mutated not only your DNA but everyone on this planet. This mutation gave the inhabitants a monkey like form but one thing confuses me."
"And what would that be?" I asked.
"In order to have this transformation it appears that you would have to have monkey DNA already in you," Gibson explained.
"Well my ancestors did evolve from apes and monkeys. In fact humans are just really smart monkeys," I explained.
"Well this does tells us that between your mutation and your ancestors why we can understand and speak to one another but the one thing that concerns me is how long it is taking you to heal," Gibson said, "To my calculations you tail should be gone by now."
"That's right I have a tail."
I lifted my extra limb and saw its golden brown fur shimmer in the dim light. I stoked it, felling the presently soft fur. I rubbed it agents my face as Gibson continues to speck.
"So what's the problem?" Chiro asked.
"Something inside of our young guest is keeping her from getting back to normal," Gibson said darkly.
"Is that a good thing or bad" I asked.
"I'm guessing bad," Otto said.
"Very bad, I ran all the tests I could but found nothing biologically wrong. I'm afraid that in a few hours the effect of the worm will become permanent," Gibson said.
"So what are we going to then?" Nova asked.
"Wait I suppose," The blue monkey answered.
"Well that's just great," Sparx complained.
I continued to pet my tail, and begin to fell out of place among the talking monkeys and their human leader. I sighed and walked out of the room and begin to walk to the control room where I thought the exit might be.
"Hey, where you going?" Otto said as he ran to my side.
"I think it's time I to home Otto. Tell the others I said thank for all their help, k?"
"Are you sure?" Otto asked sadly.
"Yeah, my parents are probably really worried about me since I was out for three days and all that jazz."
"Before you go home we need to show you something," Chiro's voice came from behind.
Otto and I stopped and turned around to see Chiro and the others standing in the hall with sad, long faces.
"What's wrong?" I asked, almost afraid of the answer.
Chiro sighed, "Here follow me," he said as he lead the rest of us to the exit in the Super Robot's foot.
Nova opened the door and walked back to the foot with the others waiting for me to look outside. Now let me tell you it felt like I was at a funeral but I didn't know who died. I cautiously walked to what I thought was going to be Earth, instead I got hell.
There were no signs of life, not even plants. A hot, dusty wing blow harshly across old, broken buildings and homes. I could feel the humid temperature from inside the robot even though the sky was cover with dark, swirling clouds that rumbled with thunder. Random bolts of lightning hit the ground with enormous force and shook the ground. But the thing that scared me the most was that I wasn't surprised by the terrible landscape before me.
"You know," I said to the Hyper Force without looking at them, "I really should be more surprised than this," despite my smile a tear run slowly down my face. "As if I've already seen it before."
"You have," Antauri said, "When you were the Empress."
"I did I do all this?"
"Yeah, you kinda did," Sparx replied awkwardly.
"Do you know what happened to my family?" I asked.
"No we don't," Nova said.
I said nothing more and cried silently as I continued to stare at my destroyed home.
"Come on, let's go back inside," Chiro said as he placed his hand on my shoulder. "I think you've seen enough for one day."
I nodded and followed the Hyper Force back inside where I cried with more energy as the full realization kicked in. Once again Otto asked if I wanted a hug. I nodded yes and cried into Otto's arms. The comfort made me cry harder as it reminded me of my mother.
Well Ch.4 is all done and hopefully this will keep you guys happy until I get Ch.5 up. And sorry for all the stupid spelling mistakes guys I'm too lazy to proof read my chapters hehe. If you see anything that I could improve on I would love to hear what you say just don't flame me ok? Well until next time!
