Sweet, Ch.6 is now up and running. Please R&R so I know how I'm doing. Oh, and Psycho Monkey this chapter might explain some things if not…well at least I tried, right?
Ch.6
I flew relatively close to the ground, about five miles or so above the scenery. The spooky voice was no longer talking to me nor did I even try to talk to it. I looked out the windshield of Chiro's ship and saw a blur of browns and…er…more browns. I slowed the ship down enough so I could see the shapes of the crumbling buildings. Amazingly enough I recognized the half destroyed cement rectangles. I was in the city that is right next to my small town. I immediately began to follow the main street that connected my town to the city and arrived in my place of birth in a matter of minuets. I landed the ship on a crackling, black asphalt street and hopped out.
I looked around seeing pretty much what I've already seen before, that only difference was that things…I don't know, seemed everything was different. With two right angling cul-de-sac filled with disintegrating houses and no sings of life what so ever I felt like I was in another dimension. Except one thing, one house that was almost completely in tacked. The only thing wrong was that the roof was torn off and seemed to have been thrown across the street and into another house, debris everywhere. It took me no time to know that this house was my house, I was finally home. I walked up and through the front door. Every thing had a thin layer on every thing and most of the fragile nick-nacks were somehow shattered, tiny pieces where they once stood.
I clutched my tail and ran it through my fingers nervously. Gibson's words came echoing back to me. It has been well over a few hours and now my strange mutation had become permanent. Whether this was a good thing or not, I had had no idea what soo ever dudes. I let out a sigh and began to walk around my house seeing what survive and what didn't, smiling from time to time from fond memories. I was just about to go up stairs to my room when I heard something that sounded like a giant airplane was landing right outside my house. I sprinted out of my house and stopped when I got the edge of my front yard seeing the Super Robot landing next to Chiro's stolen ship. I chuckled in spite of myself and waited for the Hyper Force to immerge, expecting them to me steaming mad at me.
"There you are," Nova said as she and the others walked up to me, "What were you thinking driving off like that?"
"Umm, I wasn't?" I said, not really sure how to answer.
"That's for sure," Sparx said, "Do you know how worried you made us?"
"You were worried?" I asked, kinda surprised.
"Of course we were worried. What did you expected?" Chiro said.
I shrugged," I don't know. Soo…you guys aren't mad at me for stealing the ship thing?"
"No one was harmed nor was Chiro's ship damaged. So for the time being we are not mad," Antauri answered.
"I was harmed," Otto pointed out, "I bumped my head when Taylor pushed me."
"Aww, I'm sorry Otto," I said and hugged the green monkey.
Otto giggled, "Aw, its ok."
"So how did you find me?" I asked.
"It was simple task really. I just pin pointed the energy signature of Chiro's ship considering that it was the only thing, beside the Robot, that is actually operating," Gibson explained.
I smiled, glad not to be alone anymore. "Well why don't you come in. I know it's not much but its home."
I lead the hyper Force back into my home and straight to the kitchen to get something to eat. Almost everything was too old to eat but that didn't stop Otto from eating a dark green fuzzy lump that used to be a loaf of bread. I was surprised he didn't buff instantly.
I made small talk with the Hyper Force, telling them stories from my past and the history of Earth that I had learned from school. I was having a really good time, I even laughed out loud. I had forgotten the last occasion I had such a good time. But as all good times suddenly bloom the also wilt without warning. I suddenly began to screaming as a shooting pain exploded in my mind. Screams seemed to poor out of my mouth as my new friends crowded around me asking me what was wrong.
"They're coming," the voice whispered.
"Chiro, I sense danger is approaching us," the silver monkey warned.
"Quick, let's get Taylor to the Super Robot," Chiro ordered.
" Who? Who's coming?" I asked to voice.
"My servants have come for me," was all the voice said.
"Servant?" I groaned.
"What did she say?" Sparx asked.
As if to answer Sparx, a side of my house came crashing down with a deafening sound.
"Me and my big mouth," Sparx mumbled.
"Finally something we agree on," Nova huffed.
When the dust settled, the shooting pain to weaken until it was just a head ach. I looked into the clearing dust, my eyes widened at the sight I beheld. More than twenty of the same monkey monsters that sacrificed me to the skeleton king worm stood on top the ruble.
Their light gray fur seemed to shimmer amber in the little light shining through my..eugh..new side door. They began to approach us, their steps clunky and messy as if they just learned to walk. The Hyper Force ready themselves for the worst when the monsters suddenly stopped just a few feet in front of us.
"Lay down your weapons strangers," the monkey closet to us said, "We know we're no match for you," his deep voice reminded me of my father.
"We just came for our Empress," said a monkey also close to us in her feminine like voice.
"We defeated your Empress," Chiro argued.
"You just weakened her," said the first monkey," If you really had beaten her, Taylor wouldn't be alive."
"What?" I groaned still not feeling 100 better.
"My daughter is too strong to lose to the likes of you," announced the female monkey.
My eyes widened once again in shock. "M-mom? Dad?"
I walked out of the protective ring of the Hyper Force and to the two monsters.
"But it can't be," I looked at my parents, "You were killed by that stupid worm, I saw it."
"No dear," My mother said, "The great one made us stronger. He saw what promising potential you had for ruling and gave you the power to achieve you rightful place in the world."
"You ruled the Earth like no other angel," My father added as he and mom got onto their knees so they could touch me, "But they came and ruined it all." He glared at Chiro and his team.
I was overwhelmed with relief and confusion. "Where are Emily and Lauren?" I asked.
"Your sisters are looking for you just like we were," my mom answered.
"They miss you Taylor, they want to see you again," My father said. "Let's go tell them you're alright."
I said nothing. My parents hugged me tightly. Whispering in my ear that I needed to take back my rightful throne.
"One of the escaped prisoners took your crown and now wants you dead," mom whispered, "Teach Zin he doesn't belong in you court by taking his life."
"Taylor, no! It's a trick!" Chiro yelled.
But I couldn't tare myself away, I didn't want to.
"Magna Tingler Blast!"
"Spin Shocker!"
My parents yelped in pain as they let go of me and stumbled backwards.
"Wait…" I said in a dieing whisper.
I reacted out to my parents but Gibson and Sparx jumped in front of me blocking my path to the monsters that are my mom and dad. Nova and Otto grabbed my hands and coasted me to walk back where Chiro and Antauri were waiting. As I walked I looked over my shoulder, the other monkey monsters seemed to be helping my parents up.
"Give me my daughter back," My mother yowled.
"You can't keep her from her destiny," dad growled.
"Destiny smestiny," Sparx replied," We're not letting you get anywhere near your so called daughter."
I watched as the two robots began fighting my mom and dad next to Chiro and Nova. My parents tried their best to land a blow on either Gibson or Sparx but they were just too slow. I fell to my knees, not believing no more like not wanting no believe my eyes. I felt my eyes began to fill with tears once again and dare not to blink in fear it might start the waterworks.
"Stop...," I whispered but no one heard me.
My eyes couldn't hold the salty droplets anymore and released them down my check even though I didn't blink.
"STOP!" I screamed.
Everyone froze and looked at me.
"Just stop, please," I couldn't bare to look at my parents so I just stared at my knees.
"Just give us our child," dad requested.
Mom and Dad walked past Sparx and Gibson, their eyes focused on me but their little stole was cut short when the Hyper Force jumped and blocked their way.
"If you really cared for Taylor you would know the best place for her right now is with us," Antauri reasoned.
"Nonsense, I know my Child wants to come home with us. Isn't that right honey?" mom asked me.
I shook my head slowly," Go away," I said softly.
"What?" my mom asked a hurt look was in her eyes.
"I said go away. You sound like my parents but you're not,"
"If that's what you want," my Dad said as my mom sniffed back her tears, "We'll leave."
And sure enough they did, right back trough the wall they brought down. The Hyper Force seemed to sigh their stress away, I on the other hand, only wish I could do the same. I covered my face with my hands and rapped my tail around my chest.
"Don't cry, don't cry," I chanted, "Don't be weak stupid. Be strong."
"Taylor?" Chiro asked in a concerned voice.
I ripe my tear soaked face dry and sniffed, "Yeah?"
"Are you going to be ok?" Nova asked.
I stood up and put on a bright smile, "Yeah, I'm fine." I knew they weren't fooled.
"Do you need a hug?" Otto asked.
"I need like ten hugs," I said.
"We got plenty to share kiddo," Sparx said.
"Thanks, I'll take all the hugs I can get, but let's get back to the Super Robot," I suggested. I began to walk but wobbled from side to side from the emotional drain of seeing my parents in their present state. As I walked I was suddenly lifted into the air. I looked up and saw Chiro's face as he carried me as if I was his bride.
"Ugh Chiro, you don't have to carry me," I said trying my best not to blush, "I can walk just fine."
"Are you kidding?" Chiro said with a smile, "You looked like you were going to fall any second."
"But.."
"Not another word," Chiro said cutting me off," As soon as we get inside you got to promise me you won't cry so much, ok?"
I gave Chiro a confused look.
"I've never seen someone cry as much as you. I thought you would run out tears by now."
I giggled and smiled at the young hero.
"There we go, I was beginning to worry I would never see you smile again," Chiro said.
I felt my cheeks tingle ever so slightly, "Ok, I'll try not to cry so much," was all I could say.
I rest my head agents Chiro's chest, listening to his heart beat as he carried me into the Super Robot and the robot monkeys followed us. The slow thu-thump of the chosen one's heart reminded me of the countless times when I was still a small child. Whenever I was sad my mother would hug me and the sound of her heart always clamed me down and made me feel better. The warmth of Chiro's arms made me feel safe and I soon drifted off to sleep.
Aww, I like the ending for this chapter. It's so cute! I'm working on Ch.7 right now but hopefully I'll get ch.3 of my other story up and running before I start typing ch.7. But who knows? Well Until then!
