Ch.5
Thanks for all your nice reviews everyone! I'm glad you like my dark story so much. Here another chapter but after this you can't get mad at me for not updating since I gave you 3 chapters in one weekend ok? Ok.
Two days have pasted since I saw what fate beheld my planet Earth. I let go of my false hope that this was all a bad nightmare and finally accepted that my parents, the rest of my family and everything else on Earth was now and forever dead. Through that didn't stop me from waking up in the middle of the night screaming in cold sweat in the makeshift room Otto made for me. I got little sleep in the last couple of nights in fear of seeing the evil worm again and again kill my parents with his unbelievable power but it always left me wondering. Why did the worm spared me, letting me live while it killed everything else?
On the morning of the second day I walked in the control room, rubbing my tired eyes with my fuzzy tail. I guess the Hyper Force didn't hear me come in cause they didn't greet me, that, or they were ignoring me for some strange reason. I don't why they be ignoring me, I was still half asleep what do you expect from me?
"Hey guys," I yawned, "What's up?"
I just realized that everyone was already for the day while I was still in my pajama, witch was just a big white shirt Chiro had given me when I first woke up on the Super Robot.
"Hey Taylor," Chiro greeted, "How did you sleep?"
"Anymore nightmares?" Nova asked.
"If I'm not interrupting, I would like to go on," Gibson said a little ticked off.
"Oh, sorry," I said and walked up to the group so not caring what I was wearing.
"Please continue Gibson," Antauri said.
"Well as I was saying, do to this odd electrical storm that has been going on even since we arrived three days ago. I'm afraid we are unable to leave," Gibson said in a most serious tone.
"Why not?" Sparx asked.
"Cause all that electrical energy is too dangerous," Otto answered, "If we even get close to the clouds it'll totally fry the Robot's mainframe."
"In other words we're stuck here," Sparx sighed.
"Precisely, until this storm clears up we're not going anywhere," Gibson said.
I thought about the storm, it was unlike any storm I've seen before. The flashes of lightning shook the ground while the thunder made my ears pound with pain. But with all its dangerous power the storm refused to let rain hit the dirt. Depriving the Earth of the desired water it needed for healing.
"There's nothing we can do about it now," Antauri said, "I suggest that we all go about our business while we wait out the storm."
Nova, Chiro and Sparx went to the training room to get rid of their extra energy, Antauri went to his mutation room and Gibson kept an eye on the storm for any changes while Otto gave me a tour of the Super Robot's interior. We wondered around, not really stopping to look at anything until we reach the hanger where Chiro's space curser was sitting. I looked at the ship's white painting with orange stripes while Otto explained the hanger's many operations.
"Take it," hissed a voice.
I looked around seeing that there was no one else besides the cute green monkey and myself.
"And this is the Nitro helix converter," Otto said and began to explain what the device did.
The more I listened to Otto the more I heard blah, blah, blah. Not to be mean, it was just I had no idea what he was saying. So I just nodded as if I knew what the hack he was talking about.
"Take it. You know you want to," the mysterious voice whispered.
"Ugh, Otto? Did you hear someone talking?" I asked as I started to freak out.
"Besides me?"
I nodded.
"No, why? Did you?" Otto asked.
"Ugh…I thought so. It must have been my imagination. Hey Otto how do you work the ship thingy here?"
"Oh that easy," Otto instructed me to sit in the pilot's seat and explained what each button did and how to steer.
"You know how to drive it," the voice taunted, "Just take it."
I became victim to the strange voice.
"I just can leave my home like this, not without trying to save it. But…how can I?" I thought.
"You can do anything, you have the power. You just need to release it."
"I-I can't. I might just make an even bigger mess then the Hyper Force would have to save me from my stupid mistake."
"How do you know unless you try? You can become the hero you always wanted to be. You would stand out of the crowd forever."
I bit my lip.
"Ugh Otto. I'm going to need you to step away from the curser," I said nervously.
"What? Why?" Otto asked confused.
"Cause I'm going to steal it."
"Idiot! Why did you tell him!"
"I'm way too nice for my own good deal with it," I answered the voice.
I kissed Otto on the head then pushed him away and blasted out of the Super Robot's mouth. I got such an adrenalin rush not only from the speed of the small ship but from the sensation of guilt for my first time stealing something. But my 'fun' was cut short when Chiro's and the monkeys' faces appeared on a small screen near the steering stick-wheel thing.
"What on Shruggazoom are you doing!" Chiro shouted.
"Um…stealing you ship? Eh-heh," I answered.
"We can see that," Sparx said, "Why are you stealing the ship?"
"Well…um…you guys aren't going to like my answer."
"Try us," Nova said as she crossed her arms.
"Well you see," I paused thinking of the right words to say. "since you guys were going to leave as soon as you could I thought I should try to save my planet. But now that I think about it I have no idea what I'm going to do. I have no super powers, no plan, heck I don't even know what I'm doing right now. One thing I do know is that I have to try something to help I can't stay in my shell anymore. I know there has to be something I can do."
"An honorable goal Taylor but your ill prepared," Antauri said.
"Yeah, come back to the Super Robot and we'll work something out," Otto said hopefully.
"Don't listen to them, they're just lying to you, trying to get their ship back," the voice whispered again.
I must have been making a funny facing while listening to the voice cause Chiro interrupted saying, "Taylor, are you ok?" he and the others seemed worried.
"Great Taylor, You've manage to cause your only friends and saviors more trouble then they wanted."
"Look Chiro, there's a spooky voice come from somewhere and its confusing me beyond confusion should ever go. I need to clear my head for a while. I promise to bring it back as soon as I can, k?"
"No way, if you're not feeling well you need to come back and have Gibson take a look at you," Chiro said.
"I'm fine, you guys worry too much," I said with a small smile.
I tuned off the communication devices and continued to fly through the muggy air.
Ooooo…I think I like this chapter the best. A new ingredient has been added to the mix and how knows what will happen. Well I do but I'm suppose to know because I'm the one writing the story. Hope you guys can wait until next week for the next chapter and please don't kill me! You have to be nice to me if you want me to write Ch.6, ok? (Hides under bed) Well Until then!
