Chapter 6
'I need answers.' That though kept going through Saga's mind, over and over with no end in sight. Where could he get such answers? He wasn't about to go to Skeleton King for help, and the monkeys wouldn't know anything about his origin.
"But maybe they can tell me something I need to know," muttered Saga.
In the Super Robot, the monkey team was training. They had no idea of what had happened over the past few days, and they were using their extra time to prepare for the next attack. Antuari was currently monitoring the others. Chiro, Sprx, and Nova were going through a new obstacle course that Gibson had designed and Otto had built. The blue and green monkey were sparring.
Saga knew exactly who he wanted to talk to. The idea of being subtle didn't even occur to him. He charged his right hand with energy and ripped open the door to the Super Robot. He charged his feet and dashed forward, ignoring the alarms. In a few seconds, he'd found the monkeys and Chiro. They had started to react to the alarms, but Saga appeared as a blur. He grabbed the black monkey, Antuari, and we gone. It was almost as if there was nothing more than a shimmer in the air and Antuari had vanished.
Saga carried the black monkey far away, out of Shuggazoom. In the middle of nowhere, he calmly set Antuari down, then sat across from him, with an expression that made it seem as though he thought that this was normal.
Antuari looked at Saga, wondering why he had been brought here. He let out an uncertain groan, and Saga cocked his head. "I want you to teach me," he said.
Antuari was taken aback, and he simply answered, "What do you want to know?"
"What is good?" asked Saga.
"What?" responded Antuari. It was an odd question.
"I was made to be evil, but the closest I've ever been to this thing called 'happy' was when I was fighting for you, the 'good guys,' instead," said Saga. "And so, I want to know how to be good, or if it is even possible for me to do."
"That's great!" said Antuari. "The very fact that you want to be god is a great start. Now-" He was cut off by someone yelling, "Monkey Fu!" and Saga was blasted off by a blast of green energy.
The monkey team was there to defend their leader, and Chiro was already fighting off Saga. Saga had just declared that he wanted to be good, so he didn't want to fight the ones who he saw as the good guys. He backed up quickly, using his energy to block Chiro's further attacks. The boy followed just as quickly and soon they were a fair distance away.
Antuari tried to yell to them that there was a misunderstanding, but no one heard him in the confusion. By the time he got the attention of the monkeys, who were preoccupied with the idea of rescuing one of their own, Chiro was much to far away to hear. Antuar had to hope that the often blunt Saga could communicate well enough to calm Chiro down.
