Chapter 4

Chiro had fallen asleep to the sounds of tortured screaming, laser blasts, and cheering crowds, and it followed him into his nightmares. Much to his dismay, screens had appeared on the backs off all the cells lighting up even the darkest corner in the dungeon and making Chiro cringe. When he'd first seen Gibson begin to fight he had felt ill enough to turn away and try to ignore what he was seeing only to find that his cell was not free from the sight of Gibson tearing some strange looking fish creature apart ruthlessly. Another foe had followed, the blue monkey ending each as quickly, and with about as much gore as possible. Chiro had ended up curling into a ball, covering his ears (as a very well done sound system had been placed in as well) and shutting his eyes tightly. This had not blocked out much but it was enough to throw him into a fitful sleep and give him nightmares. Gibson was a tactician. He knew weaknesses, strengths, abilities, everything. He knew how to end things quickly, he knew how to cause as much or as little pain as possible, and he was using this ability to... Chiro didn't want to acknowledge what he'd seen, tearing away from this reality/nightmare only to see Antauri lying broken before him.

"Chiro," the silver monkey whispered. "Why? Why did you do this to me?" Chiro froze.

"What," he managed to ask. "What do you mean? I didn't-"

"Ch-Chiro?" He turned and saw Nova holding her arm where Otto had wounded her. "Why," she asked. "Why did you do this to us?" Chiro shook his head.

"I didn't-" A metallic scrap made him turn to see Sprx-77 lift his head from where he seemed to have fallen.

"Chiro," the red monkey whispered. "How could you?"

"No!"

"Chiro!" Gibson appeared beside Sprx, so covered in blood it looked as if he'd been repainted to look like his brother. The once blue monkey was crying, his small frame shaking with sobs. "Chiro, help me!" His voice cracked and Chiro stared, his own eyes tearing up with fear as Gibson stumbled towards him, his hand reaching out to him. "Chiro please!" Chiro took a hesitant step back, shaking his head slowly.

"No... this isn't happening! This isn't real!" The sound of whirling blades made him freeze. Unable to breathe he turned and choked as Otto stood before him, blades ready as he glared with burning red eyes.

"It's your fault," he hissed, walking forward slowly. Chiro was frozen, unable to move. "You're the reason we're like this," the green monkey's voice rose with each word, his pace quickening till he was close enough to leap in the air above Chiro. "YOU'RE FAULT! AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! I HATE YOU CHIRO!" His words echoed around the boy who finally found voice enough to scream as the blade came towards his face and...

Disappeared. He flung himself forward and landed on his side, his chest heaving with each breath as he whimpered and shook, clinging to himself as he pushed himself back. He wasn't sure what was real, whether he was awake or still asleep, for the cell and its bars never went away no matter where he was. He closed his eyes and sobbed, clutching himself tightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Otto, monkey team, I'm so... sorry..." He burst into tears, his back against the bars on one side of the his prison, and he froze as a hand gripped his shoulder. There was silence and all was still for a moment and then;

"Chiro," a voice whispered in the darkness, as he had refused to open his eyes to what he was sure was another nightmare. "Chiro." The voice said nothing more, but the hand moved to his head and began running fingers through his sweat damped hair. There was silence then save for momentary sobs from Chiro as he felt himself calm somewhat, feeling a strange sort of peace from this action. Then it paused and Chiro froze, unsure of what was happening till the hand lay on his head almost lovingly and the voice replied in a whisper; "Chiro. We love you Chiro, don't cry anymore." The hand began its movement once more and Chiro drifted, unawares, back into sleep. When positive the boy was asleep, Sprx pulled his hand back with a grunt, his eyes filled with pain. None-the-less he smiled and sighed, as he rolled back onto his side, the buzzing in his ears returning with a force and he winced from both pain and regret.

"I... did what... I could... Antauri..." he managed to wheeze before he was once again lost and his body fell limp. A moment later he 'appeared' before Antauri, the silver monkey sitting cross legged on a 'floor' and sweating heavily from pain. Blue eyes opened and a weak smile appeared.

"Thank you Sprx," Antauri whispered. "I will... keep trying to... break us free," he grunted. Sprx nodded, his expression grim.

"Yes," he said softly, sitting down and taking up a lotus position in front of his brother. "And I will help you." Antauri nodded slowly, then sighed in relief as Sprx added his own strength to the battle he was fighting.

"Thank you brother," he said weakly after a moment. "But I fear that Otto..."

"I know." Sprx's quiet reply sent him into silence and he sighed.

"This is not going to be easy."

"Has it ever been?" Twin smirks greeted each other before silence filled the 'room' and two monkeys began mentally fighting for freedom together.
