CHAPTER 2: Hues a Drop of Water
After a few minutes, Gibson, Yuri and Shinju arrive back at the Super Robot with the two blue female monkeys with them. They entered and the team ran up to them. Chiro was the first to speak.
"So Gibson. Have you found the source yet?" Chiro asked and Gibson smiled.
"Yes. Yes I have. The source is...right here" Gibson said pointing to Lapis and Lazuli. They both waved at the team and Otto happily ran up to them.
"Cool! New friends! What are your names? I'm Otto" Otto said cheerfully. Lapis was the first to introduce her and her sister.
"Hello Otto. I'm Lapis and this is my twin sister Lazuli. Nice to meet you all Hyper Force" Lapis said and Chiro wanted to introduce the Hyper Force to the two blue monkeys. Chiro began to speak.
"I'm Chiro. I'm the leader of the Hyper Force. Nice to meet you both" Chiro said with his hand out. Lapis shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you Chiro. You might already know my name by now" Lapis said as she shook Chiro's hand. Antauri now walked up to her and was ready to speak.
"Referr to me as Antauri. I am the Second in Command of the team" Antauri said in his calm deep voice as usual. Lapis smiled.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too. Oh and I was a Second in Command of my team" Lapis said and Antauri opened his eyes.
"You have a team?" Antauri asked but it didn't bother Lapis.
"I use to until some accident tore us all apart. I know I'll find the rest of my teammates soon. With your help, me and Lazuli might get our team back together. But it might take some time" Lapis said. Sparks hopped up to her.
"The name's Sprx-77! But call me Sparks" Sparks said holding Lapis's hand and getting ready to kiss it but Nova pulled his tail and shoved him away from her. Lapis giggled.
"Hehe. You're funny Sparks" Lapis said and Nova hung on to Lapis's hand.
"Hey. I'm Nova. Don't encourage Sparks, trust me. He's been trying to hit on me like forEVER!" Nova said but shook Lapis's hand.
"Hello Nova" Lapis said when she felt something pull on her cape. She turned around and saw a small light purple monkey hanging on to her cape. She was also gently nibbling on it. Lapis yoinked the baby off of her cape, picked her up and cradled the small monkey in her arms.
"Who do we have here? You must be one of their teammates, right?" Lapis said and Michiko stared up at the blue monkey who looked like Gibson and waved her hand cutely at her.
"Aaaaw. That's so cute" Lapis said and Michiko stared at her again.
"I'm Michiko. Me the mascot. Yellow monkey's my mommy" Michiko said cutely which caused Lapis's heart to melt at how sweet it sounded. Nova walked up to Lapis.
"That's true. She's my baby daughter" Nova said as she smiled and slowly took Michiko from Lapis and now tucked her in her (Nova's) arms.Antauri noticed that Lapis's sister was gone.
"Lapis? Where's your sister?" Antauri asked.
"To tell the truth, I'm not too sure where she is. We better look for her before she causes trouble. Besides, we can't be separated for too long" Lapis said when suddenly Lazuli popped out from behind Chiro which kinda scared him.
"I'm here! Now it's time! So without further ado, allow me to introduce the one, the only Lazuli the Great! Watch as I do ballerina on the ball!" Lazuli said as she started performing circus tricks. Lapis was annoyed.
"She always does that kind of stuff. Just as I thought she would disappear for" Lapis said.
"Does she always do circus tricks?" Gibson asked as he walked up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Yes. She's been doing that ever since we've been split" Lapis said. Gibson looked curious.
"What was that?" Gibson asked. "Nothing" Lapis said and both of them walked off leaving the whole team behind. Gibson and Lapis arrive in Gibson's lab and he decides to show her around.
"This is your lab, right?" Lapis says and Gibson holds on to her hand.
"Yes. This is where I perform some of my experiments. I don't do it much but I do sometimes" Gibson says and Lapis smiled.
"That's cool. I can do experiments too" Lapis says.
"Wow. That's great. We have something in common" Gibson says.
"Hey Gibson? Can I go outside for a little while? I want to have some fresh air" Lapis says.
"Alright. If that's what you want" Gibson said and let go of Lapis's hand and let her go for a while.
Michiko was now walking around outside. She was also said by Antauri not to go too far and she understood. She wanted to go out and play when she finds Lapis sitting on a small rock near the edge and she (Lapis) was singing a heart-wrenching yet sad song. Michiko heard it.
'On this road we meet, we who are beginning our journey
Taking hand in hand, let us depart!
I shall always be by thy side
Never to be forgotten
For if thou wouldst go through
The dark cloud alone,
Young one, thou might become lost.
By what reason doth courage suddenly appear at thy smile?
Regardless, I am here to help thee
Though I may cry out, thou who doth make merry without a thought,
Thy innocence and gentleness are without weapon'
Michiko had never heard a song before and was heart-wrenched by it so she kept standing there watching and listening to Lapis sing.
Author's Note: I'm done chapter 2! I'll have chapter 3 up soon! Oh and about those lyrics, they're actually the english lyrics to the first half of the japanese Digimon song 'Hitori ni Sasenai' meaning 'I won't leave you alone' which I use to listen to alot until suddenly I got too nervous to listen to it again. It's sung by the japanese female seiyuu Aoi Tada aka the voice actress for Lopmon who the song was for.I better make chapter 3 soon. Please review! NO flames!
