Finally. Finally it's here! The very last chapter of Sprx's Star. Sorry about the long wait, life was being cruel and I couldn't get back into this. Anyhow here it is. Really quickly Nova's weak here because of the fight with Demon Sprx. She wouldn't fight him remember. And italics are flashbacks.
A Black Heart
Sprx and Nova ran towards the cave, the ground was rumbling before another explosion filled the air. The pressure pushed them back and they crashed into a dead tree. They fell side by side, their backs against the tree. A black monkey slammed into the middle of them, knocking them out. The three monkeys lay battered and bruised beneath the dead tree.
She stepped out of the cave.
"You ungrateful little worm! I took you in when you were banished and this is how you repay me!" Kokume screeched.
She picked up the black monkey using telepathic skills. She slammed him to the floor moving only her eyes.
"You know what I do to traitors? I KILL them!" she screeched lunging at him, her nails extended.
Nova's eyelids parted and the light bathed into them. She heard screeching and chokes. Her eyes opened fully and it clicked.
"Midnight" she whispered. She shakily got to her feet. Midnight did not move nor attempt to stop Kokume. For he was being strangled by his old teacher. She dropped his lifeless body.
---
"What about……Midnight!" she asked
"Midnight" he raised a brow.
"Yeah. Because his fur is midnight black."
He scanned his eyes over the black monkey before speaking again.
"I like it; it shows what he's about."
"So when will you be finished?" she asked.
"Well all I need to do now is transfer the Power Primate into him."
"Cool can I watch?" she asked, excitement glowing in her eyes.
"You can do more than watch my dear. You can help!" he said motioning towards a leaver.
"Pull it and the transformation will be complete."
She walked over to the leaver and gently wrapped her hand around it. She felt his hand cover hers.
"Come, well start his systems together."
They both pulled down on the leaver. A green light flooded his black body. His eyes lit up and movement filled his body.
The backlight in his eyes turned on and his magenta red eyes flashed as his systems started up. His arm moved and his tail flicked to the extent that he sat up. He stared round at the room, filled with machinery and lights. The Alchemist was the first to speak.
"My son…"
---
Kokume walked towards Nova, who due to her weak state was easily slapped aside.
Sprx wearily opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Kokume getting ready to kill him. Ice covered her hands.
"All traitors will die!" She raised her had. The ice round it turned into a pointy dagger shape.
"DIE!" she hissed.
"Lady Tomahawk!" Nova's shrill battle cry filled the air. A large and rather battered golden fist slammed into Kokume side. She was sent flying.
"Thanks Novs." Said Sprx getting to his feet.
Kokume got to her feet and regained her bearings. Her black dress now covered in mushy snow. She growled and changed shape, all while Nova's back was turned.
A voice ringed in Nova's ears, it was his voice. The Alchemists voice.
"The Phoenix, Inner Flames"
Her body grew hotter; she could feel the fire burning inside her. She heard a large cats
growl and turned to see Kokume had transformed into a giant…
---
A baby version of Nova walked into his lab. It was clustered with machinery and notes as usual.
"You wanted to speak to me?" she asked walking towards him. He turned in his swivel chair to look at her. He patted his lap and she climbed up. His chair was positioned by his desk so she could see what he was reading notes on easily.
Her eyes scanned the words and numbers before she spoke.
"Fire? That's what you're researching?" she questioned.
"Indeed, and that is the reason why I call you here"
---
Tiger. Kokume had transformed into a giant tiger. Nova gasped, it was the exact same one from her dream. Kokume lifted one giant paw and pushed Nova into a tree. Kokume turned on Sprx who was now up and standing.
"Holy…" he never got to finish for Kokume had already pounced on him and held his shoulder close to the floor.
"NOOOO!" Nova screamed she let all her inner flames.
"Huh?" she asked confused.
"Well you see I gave you something that only Midnight has."
She took a sharp intake of breath through excitement.
"What! Oh please tell me!"
The Alchemist took a matchstick from his desktop and lit it.
"She this, what is this?" he asked her.
"It's a matchstick" she said dryly.
"No, what is that on top?"
"Fire, come on I'm not five, I know what fire looks like."
"Very well, but do you know how to control it?" he asked. He smiled for in fact she was five.
---
A fire wall about half her height rose from the ground. From the flames phoenixes began to fly, up towards the sky. They circled Kokume, Nova pointed towards her and the phoenix's dive bombed her.
She cried and howled as her fur caught alight. She rolled in the snow cooling herself off. She was defiantly weaker….but so was Nova.
---
"Control it?" she questioned.
"Yes my daughter, think about it. Why do you thrive in warmer weather but hate cold climates?" Nova gave him a puzzled look.
"Your element, in which you control and rule, is fire."
---
Nova sunk to her knees. She was exhausted. Sprx saw this and ran to her.
"Nova are you ok?" he asked franticly. She could only nod through her heavy panting.
---
"But why only me? Did I do something wrong?" she looked deep into his eyes.
"No my dear. This is a gift, not a pain."
"You said Midnight has it to, does he control fire to?" she asked.
"No. he controls Ice. Yet he is yet to discover his powers with it, like you."
"Then can we learn?"
"No" he replied.
"Then how will we be able to use it?"
"Trust me; you'll be able to use it when the time is right."
---
"Ice Shards!" Ice points flew past her and Sprx and pierced into Kokume's skin and fur. She smiled at her friend as he limped over to her.
---
"Here's a little secret, Sprx has it to." He remembered and told her.
"Cool! What does Sprx control?" she asked.
"Electricity"
---
"Let's finish this!" Nova shouted.
"Dragon Fire!" she yelled raising her left fist to the sky.
"Dragon Zap!" Sprx raised his left fist to.
"Dragon Freeze." Midnight did the same.
---
"Cool! So will we all learn together?" she asked.
"No but you will use your ultimate element attacks together, to stop a great evil."
---
A Chinese style dragon made of fire curled round Nova's body. A dragon of ice for Midnight and a dragon of electricity for Sprx. All three lowered there hands and the three dragons flew towards Kokume.
---
"What will they be like?"
"Well they will be like giant dragons. Each made of their owners element."
"Wow I love dragons" she replied.
---
Kokume's lifeless body hit the damp floor. All three monkeys collapsed to their knees tired from the energy consumption. Nova closed her eyes, but didn't faint. A figure loomed over Midnight's body. Before he had a chance to face his attacker it kicked him in the back of the head.
"Take that!" she recognized that voice, it was his voice.
"OTTO!" she got to her feet and gave her brother a hug. Sprx cast a mini-glare towards Otto but he didn't notice it. Nova let him go but looked at the knocked out Midnight.
"Nice hit I'll give it a 8.7!" Sprx commented. Nova glared at him, but her eyes were filled with love and happiness and so he knew it was fake.
"Uh Otto I think you should know Midnight's our friend…" Nova told him
"but…uh….I'm confused." He replied. She smiled; she wouldn't have it any other way.
---
"About this whole element thing, don't tell anyone ok? I will tell them when they are ready. Now why don't you go play with the others?" He said.
"Ok sir, you can count on me!" she slid from his lap and ran to find her friends.
---
A loud crash made them all jump ten feet in the air, and also caused Midnight to wake up. They all turned to see a very wobbly super robot behind them. Soon the remaining three members of the hyper force run out to greet their friends. Soon praises and 'you done it!'s were passed round. That was until Gibson broke in.
"You four should all get to Med. Bay for some rest." Gibson said pushing them towards the Super Robot.
A few bandages and cups of tea later Chiro, Antauri and Nova had come to a decision.
"Midnight." Nova said.
"We want to ask you to live with us, and become a hyper force member again." Chiro finished for her.
Midnight smiled, he was with his family again.
Friends are like stars, you can't always see them, but you know they are always there.
