The Truth Told

She ran, she didn't want to stop. He couldn't be dead could he? She didn't want to believe it. Otto had such a kind soul, how could anyone hurt him let alone kill him? She found a little stream and looked into the water. Her reflection stared back at her. The ripples of the water unfocused her vision in the water, she looked across the stream and saw one green rose.

She got into the water which reached up to her elbows making the water easy to walk in. she got out at the other side. She pushed aside the clumps of weeds to see the small green rose. It somehow held the same sort of innocence that Otto had. She rested the little flowers head in her palm it was stone cold. It was dying. One last tear escaped from her bubblegum eyes and fell onto the rose's petals.

"Nova!" Midnight called finally catching up with her. She snapped out her thoughts and turned to face him he had a weird guilty kind of look.

"Let's hurry up and find Sprx. I need to take my anger out on someone." She said brushing past him.

"Nice. Very nice" Kokume said circling him. Sprx stood on a rock his newly acquired wings folded neatly behind his back. Kokume chuckled her spell had worked a treat.

"I feel Midnight is going soft on us. What do we do to traitors?"

"We kill them" Sprx snarled back.

"Good. And what about the girl?" Sprx's face softened a little before regaining its tough look.

"She must die as well!"

"YES! Then we will take over Shugazoom city, BY FORCE!" Kokume yelled. Both began laughing, their evil filling the air around them.

---

"I'm getting worried, I mean it's been almost a week since Nova left and now Otto's missing and not answering his communicator! And what was up with that freaky black monkey?" Chiro stopped ranting allowing himself to breath.

"I concur. Nova should have been back by now. Maybe something could have happened to her." Gibson quizzed.

"Do not give up on her my friends. She is a strong warrior and will come out on top." Antauri told his remaining team members.

---

"Yes I sense they are near. S.P.R.X-77 now is the time to prove yourself. Take your place and wait for them there" Kokume instructed.

"Yes mistress" Sprx said before spreading his wings and flying to the cave entrance.

Midnight felt guilt eat away at him. He wanted to hold Nova in his arms and to be able to kiss her. But…..she loved Sprx not cold, unfeeling Middie. So the next best thing would to be to help her right? But that would be going against the person who had raised him since the whole Mandarin thing.

Kokume's cave became visible in the distance. Nova kept walking, oblivious to the danger she was in. Midnight looked at Nova then at the cave in the distance.

"Get down!" he said pulling her by the scruff of her neck. He pulled her behind the rock.

"Midnight what's the big idea!" she hissed. He sighed. Now was the time to tell her.

"I should have told you this earlier…." He broke off. For the first time in his life he felt insecure.

"Told me what!" she demanded.

"I know who stole Sprx. Because…because…I work for her."

"WHAT!" she screamed.

"But I don't want to, I want to do the right thing. And help you." He sighed.

"Help me?" she gasped and continued.

"I get it now…it was you that…Otto…" She whispered. She just couldn't bring herself to say it. He nodded.

"But trust me now I can help you get Sprx." He said quietly.

"Trust you! Why should i?" She started into his beady red eyes.

"Because I'm your only chance… I'm the only one who knows all Kokume's weaknesses."

---

She walked right up to the cave, stood outside the entrance. So many emotions were flowing through her at once. Happiness that she was seeing Sprx again, Fright she'd never faced a proper witch before.

"So little miss adventurer turns up at last. I've been waiting for you."

The voice snapped her from her thoughts. She looked up at a tree, where the voice had come from and gasped. Her dream was becoming reality again.

---

Midnight sneaked towards the back entrance to Kokume's cave. The plan was that Nova would get Sprx while he held of Kokume. He pushed aside the rock which was were the extra entrance was. He crawled inside and began to run to where Kokume was.

---

Sprx stood in one of the dead trees. His pointed toes were curled round one of its branches. His red fur was now blotched with black. He had blood red eyes instead of the normal black. But the scariest thing was the wings which had replaced his jet pack. They had a leathery appearance and the snow fizzled when it touched them. He had his arms crossed across his chest.
