Phyco Monkey: Thank you everyone for reviewing. Sorry for the wait. My computer doesn't have the Internet and I've been using a floppy disc to hold my stories but recently the floppy disc isn't working so I'm typing this up in the computer lab at school.
Icefire: (shoves Phyco Monkey out of the way) Thank you Beastfire for saying I'm not a brat or a snob! On with the chapter!
Phyco Monkey: Hey that's my line!
Icefire: So what, no one cares.
Phyco Monkey: (pouts) I feel so unloved….
Chapter Six: Memory Dreams
Flash Back
The Super Robot was flying quickly through space. Stars and planets whizzed by. Inside the robot the Monkey Team was watching their surroundings on the main computer's screen.
The alarm went off causing everyone to jump. Gibson brought the problem up on the main computer screen. They were being pulled toward an unknown planet they had been flying by. "Hyper Force go!" Chiro shouted. The Hyper Force went to their cockpits in the separate parts of the robot.
"Foot Crusher Cruiser 6, go!" Nova Shouted.
"Foot Crusher Cruiser 5, go!" Otto Shouted.
"Fist Rocket 4, go!" Gibson Shouted.
"Fist Rocket 3, go!" Sparx Shouted.
"Brain Scrambler Pilot 2, go!" Antauri Shouted.
"Torso Tank Driver 1, go!" Chiro Shouted.
"Super"
"Robot"
"Monkey"
"Team"
"Hyper"
"Force"
"Go!"
"Otto, get us out of here!" Chiro ordered.
"I'm trying!" Otto shouted back as he tried to pull them out of the planets gravity, but he was failing miserably. "No can do, Chiro! The atmospheric pull is to strong!"
The lights flickered and went out. "Otto what's going on!" Chiro cried.
"All power's down we're gonna crash!" Otto replied.
"Brace for impact," Antauri said.
The Super Robot crashed into the sandy desert ground. No one, except Antauri, was prepared for the crash, and they were knocked unconscious. Antauri tried to go use his ghost mode, but couldn't. With a sigh he went down the Brain Scrambler's tube, into the main room, then up the Torso Tank tube.
Chiro had his head on the control panel. Antauri gently shook the boy's shoulders to wake him. Chiro groaned and sat up. He placed a hand on his throbbing forehead. He felt something wet and sticky touch his hand. He moved his hand away from his forehead and looked at it (his hand). There on his palm was a warm, crimson liquid. Blood.
Antauri quickly noted the blood on Chiro's hand and looked up into the boy's face. There on his (Chiro's) forehead was a small, but deep cut. Blood trickled down the boy's face, in between his eyes, then parted and flowed on ether side of his nose.
"Chiro are you alright?" Antauri asked.
"Yeah…. I think so, my head just hurts…." Chiro replied. He flinched when Antauri brushed his metal fingers over the cut.
"Lets go take care of your cut." Antauri said.
The two of them went down to the main room. Antauri held his arm out to stop Chiro from taking another step. "I sense the approach of four beings," Antauri said.
Chiro jumped when a grinding noise reached their ears. A hole appeared in the wall, two men climbed through the hole. They stopped when they saw Chiro and Antauri. The shorter of the two pointed at Antauri, and whispered to the taller man. The man nodded then pointed to Chiro and said something to the shorter man. Chiro's cut was forgotten.
The two men were whispering to each other, in an apparently deep conversation. Chiro and Antauri glanced at each other then back at the two men. "Um… excuse me can you tell us where we are? You see me and my monkeys accidentally crash landed here." Chiro said.
The two men seemed surprised for a moment, and then before Chiro could even blink the short man pulled out a strange machine, aimed, and fired. Antauri cried out and Chiro turned his full attention on the silver monkey. He was caught in a pink, bubble, force field thing.
"Antauri!" Chiro cried he raised his fist to punch the force field. "Thunder Punch!" nothing happened. The two men burst out laughing. Chiro panicked and his face was covered with nervous sweatdrops. "What's wrong! Why isn't the Power Primate working!"
Antauri appeared calm which was puzzling to Chiro. "I, know not, but the same thing happened to me when I tried to use my ghost mode." Antauri replied calmly.
Chiro decided he would try to free the monkey with out the Power Primate, but with his own fists. The first punch bounced back, and he hit himself in the nose. He covered his aching nose with both hands. "OW! My nose…" The men laughed hysterically at this. Chiro ignored them and focused on his injured nose. Thankfully it wasn't broken, it was just sore for the moment.
"You okay, kid?" Sparx asked.
Chiro jumped and turned around to face the red monkey. He hadn't heard Sparx and the others come down to the main room. Then in the blink of an eye the others were captured. "No!" Chiro cried in distress. He removed his hands from his nose. The injury forgotten, just like the cut.
The pink, bubbles containing his friends floated toward the short man. Chiro desperately grabbed Antuari's bubble in an attempt to prevent the men from taking the silver monkey. The short man hit a button on the strange machine, and the bubble began to let off electrical currents that shocked both Chiro and Antauri. They both cried out in pain. Chiro couldn't bare to see Antauri get hurt, and he himself couldn't endure the pain inflicted on himself, he had to let go.
The short man spoke, his voice was low and gruff. "If you want the monkeys back you'll have to win the dragon race today. The monkeys, so you know, are going to be the prize for the winner. They are fair game for every racer." The two men laughed psychotically as they left the robot, bubbles in tow. The monkeys watched the boy helplessly.
Chiro raced outside of the robot in time to catch sight of two dragons' black shapes, along with five bubble shapes, against the rising sun. The men's laughter echoed back to him. "No! Please…" he dropped to his knees. "Bring them back…" Then rage filled the empty spots he had gained when he saw the vanishing shapes. "BRING THEM BACK!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. The men's laughter faltered, then stopped all together.
Chiro stood and wiped the blood from his cut and face. Then he began to run in the direction the dragons had flown.
He ran until noon, when he had reached a town he slowed to a walk. His breath came in short, ragged, gasps, but he continued. Anyone he saw with a dragon he asked if they had a dragon he could borrow for the race. Every answer was the same: no. That is until he met Simon….
End Flash Back
Phyco Monkey: (sniff, sniff) that was sad…did it answer your questions Lmann? I was planning this all along.
Icefire: (rolls eyes) You're such a liar. You never thought about, how the Monkey Team landed on the planet or why Chiro didn't free the monkeys himself.
Phyco Monkey: (holds Icefire's mouth shut) Shhh! They don't need to know that!
