OMG! I updated already! Anyways here is chappie 2
Chapter 2: Fortunes Foretold
Nova opened her eyes slowly as the sunlight bounced off the yellow walls of her room. She yawned as she turned onto her stomach to look at her clock.
! 9.30! Up late again, the others are going to kill me! It was true. Usually Nova was an early bird which often annoyed the others, being woken up two hours before their normal day began. But lately she had been getting up later and later.
Her late waking had especially annoyed Gibson, saying she was slacking of. She had replied that he needed a life, away from the hearing range of the blue monkey of course.
She reluctantly pulled herself from her bed, wandered over to her bathroom, and gave her fur a light brush. She looked into the mirror and prepared herself for another of Gibson's lectures. She had to be prepared; the last one almost killed her from boredom.
She walked out of her room and over to a yellow tube. She whisked down it and found the main room…..deserted. Of course the guys would already be halfway through breakfast. With one final breath she walked into the kitchen. Everyone else, minus Sprx, was sitting eating toast or cereal. Or in Otto's case, anything he could get his hands on.
"Morning guys" She said as she took a white china bowl from the cupboard and took her place at the table, opposite Antauri and next to an empty red chair. Gibson was sat next to Antauri and finally Otto and Chiro sat at the table heads.
Antauri was delicately eating his cereal; Otto looked as if he could eat for Shugazoom stuffing enough food in his mouth to feed the rest of the team five times round. Chiro was finishing his toast and Gibson looked up from the paper he was currently reading labelled 'Science, The wonderful elements around us.'
There was a mumble of Good mornings before everyone went back to what they were doing, except Gibson.
"Up late again Nova?" it was then that she completely blanked him, letting the others listen to his ranting.
"Your staying up too late with Sprx honestly you two spend too much time together."
That was it, he had trodden on her last nerve, no one except me gets to talk about Sprx like that and get away with it! She thought before her anger exploded onto the blue monkey.

Sprx opened an eye wearily and heard shouting from a voice he knew all to well, yes it was Nova. He yawned before he heard a crash.
"There goes another milk bottle." He said to himself before smartening himself up and going down his red tube.
It was true, glass lay around a knocked out blue monkey who was spaced out on the floor.
"Nova, you know you shouldn't fight with anyone except enemies." Antauri said trying to keep the peace.
"Yeah but he deserved it, besides at the moment he's practically my enemy anyway." Nova said before retiring to her cereal.
Seeing as her comment made surprisingly a lot of sense Otto found it wasn't long before he was in fits of laughter.
Chiro, trying to lighten the mood turned the radio on to hear a song Nova knew well, probably because it was one of her favourites. As Joss Stone's 'Super Duper Love' blared into the kitchen the mood somewhat lightened up.
Sprx still half asleep shoved some bread in the toaster and took his place at the table. Another wave of good mornings hit Nova's ears. She curled her tail round his and said her:
"Morning Sprx" before putting another spoonful of cereal into her mouth.
"Morning guys, Nova" He said before looking down at Gibson who was flat out still.
"He annoyed you huh?" He said turning again to Nova.
"Yup" no more needed to be said, Gibson, Nova and a glass milk bottle was easy enough to put together.
The toaster beeped symbolising the bread was cooked. Sliding from his chair Sprx went to get the newly acquired toast. Gibson groaned before picking himself off the floor.
"It was a milk bottle again wasn't it?" Antauri just nodded. But opposite him Nova was beaming. That should keep him in place for a while, well maybe until tomorrow morning.
Otto had now begun his seventh round of cereal before Antauri walked over to the sink, placed his bowl and spoon in it. He walked towards the door.
"Finish up soon team, Nova and I have been planning a new training program which needs to be put to use."
He said before mentally floating from the room. The familiar whoosh sounded as he went up his black tube.
Sprx who had recently buttered his toast went to shove the butter back into the fridge. But he was interrupted.
"Remember the order Sprx; dairy products go on the top self." Said Gibson, not bothering to look at him.
"Looks orderly enough in there." Said Sprx randomly putting the butter in the fridge.
As the previously playing song finished a classical, instrument only, concoction took its place.
"Ack, Sprx change it will ya?" Nova said appalled with the music playing. Being the one closest to the radio Sprx switched station and some R&B song came on.
"How can you like that awful stuff Gibson?" Nova asked Gibson, referring to the classical music. He simply huffed before crunching on toast.
After five slices of toast and seven bowls of cereal Otto decided he was full, which was a miracle really. Chiro also finished stuffing his plate into the washing up bowl, the pile of plates and bowls were swaying dangerously.
"Know what I'll be doing later." Nova said looking doubtfully at the china tower.
Chiro and Otto also made for the door, leaving only Sprx, Nova and Gibson. Not a good combination.
"One thing before I go," Chiro said.
"What's that kid?" Sprx asked.
"Don't kill Gibson." He told the yellow and red.
Yes this was a normal breakfast for the Hyper Force nowadays.

An Argument, Some Yelling and an Attempted Strangle Later
The training had begun; the idea was that the team partnered up with someone they didn't usually work with, Otto was with Antauri, Chiro was with Sprx, which left an unhappy Nova with a reluctant Gibson.
This was sure to cause trouble, which it did, in the form of Gibson ended up with a pair of matching black eyes. Nova, with a slight scratch along her left arm thanks to Gibson, decided she needed some fresh air.
"I'm going for a walk, anyone coming?" She asked as she made for the door. There was a mutter of 'No thanks' before Sprx walked towards her.
"I'll come" he said, following her out of the Super Robot.

It was a perfect sunny day for a walk, many Shugazoom citizens awwwed at the sight of the red and yellow robot monkeys walking hand-in-hand, tail-in-tail down the road. Although they didn't have a clue what the two monkeys were jabbering on about they still looked cute.
But unknown to them a shadowed figure watched them with hate for Sprx. The only part of him visible was his red eyes. He was spying, for his master of course. He glared before watching them being stopped by and old lady; she was dressed in a black old-fashioned dress with a gold shoal around her shoulders. Soon The shadowed figure thought Soon I will be able to have you back Nova
"Can we help you?" asked Sprx. Looking at the lady.
"Don't be silly Sprx, She can't understand us." Nova reminded her boyfriend.
"Can't understand you? Are you silly? Of course I can" the lady screeched with laughter. Sprx was sure she wasn't right in the head.
"I am Kokume, the great travelling fortune-teller, but of course I can understand you, I know as many languages as there are." Nova looked confused before it clicked.
"You mean you know them all" Nova said, simplifying the conversation for Sprx.
Wanting to leave as soon as possible from this freaky lady Sprx told her:
"We really have to go, nice meeting you…." He said then added under his breath:
"Not really." Tugging on the hand of his lover, trying to get her to move.
"Wait! I must speak to Nova, your fortune is quite special." The lady shouted to the retreating pair. Nova stopped and looked back at the lady.
"How do you know my name?" She asked her.
"Because, my dear it has been foretold, your fortune I mean."
"Ok, then tell me, tell me my fortune" Nova looked deep into the lady's eyes, they gleamed with happiness.
"An old friend is coming to see you, your history will repeat,
And you must stand up against the ancient one's fleet,
They will take what you hold dear,
Not returning it until you face your fear,
And at the strike of Midnight tonight
You most loved thing will be hidden in a light so bright."
Nova stood wide eyed and scared.
"History will repeat? No I couldn't take that again" Nova said stuttering. Sprx stood in front of Nova, his back to the lady. Suddenly as he held Nova in a hug he noticed she was shivering, his strong little warrior felt weak and fragile.
Sprx turned around, the lady was nowhere in sight. After giving words of reassurance Sprx finally convinced Nova to move. As they walked back to the Robot Sprx told her that it was someone just trying to scare her.
She felt surer of his words. She stopped outside the Robot and turned to face him,
"Please don't tell anyone about that, Ok Sprx?" She asked.
"I promise." He said. Sprx went to walk inside the Robot when he noticed that Nova was walking another way.
"Where ya going Nova?" He asked.
"I need to think, don't worry I'll be back soon." She called back.
Sprx just shrugged it of before walking into the Robot.
