A/N: This is the second chapter...duh. I do not own SRMTHFG unfortunately. I would love to own them! They would be so much fun to cuddle! Oooh I want Sparx! And...Nova! And...Otto! Chiro! And Antauri! Yaya!
Gibson: And me?
Me: You talk too much about science. Its summer now! How bout I own you in the school year? Then you can help me do my homework! Hahahahaha!
Kantura: You are an idiot...
Gibson:(edges away from evil maniac aka. Me)
Kantura: since she's busy being evil, Gibson is going to thank the reviewers
Gibson: why me!
Kantura: Cause I refuse to let Sparx or Otto get close to me. Nova is keeping them in line so I cant use her, Chiro has mysteriously disappeared. And Antauri is meditating.
Gibson: What about you?
Kantura:(flames up) just do it!
Gibson: Ok here we go! Thanks to the reviewers... and um yah. Kiozona.pop: Oh! I'm so happy you like it! I'll do my best, but not this chapter. It may take awhile to do that. It's mostly Monkey team though. I like R2D2 as well. But my master is way cooler! Whahahaha! I hope you'll enjoy the story.
4Evermonkeyfan: Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! And I haven't read Jet Twister91's story so um tell her not to kill me ok?
Ivy: cool you trained from Master Yoda as well?
Beastfire: Your wish is my command (sparkly stuff)
Gibson: and now on with the story!
"We have to go and save her!", Chiro said for the 20th time. "Chiro, we have no plan of action. We need to think of how we go about this.", Gibson said as he turned to Kantura. "Do you know exactly where she's being kept?" Kantura shook her head, ponytail slapping the side of her head. Chiro began to shout again and Gibson again tried to reason with him.
Eventually, Kantura did what Antauri was doing. She meditated. The white room went black as she closed her eyes. She blocked out the noise from the monkeys. She concentrated all of her thoughts on Jinmay. The sweet girl who had been taken prisoner.
Nova saw her eyes snap open. At the same time, Antauri came out of his trance. "Chiro! If you're done fighting with Gibson, I believe Antauri and Kantura know something.", Nova said with urgency. She nodded to her team mate first.
"SK is trying to use Jinmay to get to Chiro, however she refuses to do such thing. SK has tortured her and still she refuses. That's pretty much all I know." Antauri finished. Kantura stood up. "Gibson do you have a Hologram projector?" Gibson shook his head. She sighed. She closed her eyes and spread her hands. Energy flowed to her hands as she pulled them closer together. A ball of green fire could be seen in her cupped hands. She opened her eyes and held the ball floating above her hands. She pulled one hand down and opened her eyes. She looked at the ball and the planet of Girbalty appeared. "I know the general area that she's in." she pointed to a spot, "This is where she is. The area is about 10 kilometers squared." She closed her hand and the fire turned natural color. It snaked up her arm and disappeared into her hair. She looked at the team. "I would like to come with you. I made friends with Jinmay in the short time I knew her." Sparx looked happy but confused.
"What about your ship? Can you take it or did it get destroyed?", Sparx asked. Kantura looked surprised. "I never had a ship. I told you the ball of fire was me. I meant it literally. I protected my self with a surrounding wall of fire. We should probably go now before anything bad happens more to Jinmay." The others agreed and Chiro was more than willing.
Chiro was pacing in his room when he felt the hit. He ran into the control room. "What happened!", Chiro said. Gibson turned around, "We have reached an asteroid field." he said.
"It's not an asteroid field." Chiro, Gibson, and Otto turned around to see Kantura walk into the room, followed by the other monkeys. "It's a destroyed planet. SK must have destroyed it after I passed through this area." Her eyes looked so sad. It was as if the universe came to an end.
Nova saw the remaining parts of the planet. How cruel could he be! To destroy millions of people without a second thought. She felt tears brimming up in her eyes. Tears of anger. She wasn't the only one. Chiro had his fists clenched and head downward. Tears streamed down his face. Gibson was apparently sad as well. Antauri who nearly never showed emotion, was trying very hard to control his anger. Otto was ripping a piece of cloth with his saws. And Sparx, the one who was always laughing, was silent and obviously angry beyond imagining.
"There it is! That is Girbalty. We are on the right side." Kantura said a few hours later.
The Super Robot landed in a clearing. The monkey team and Kantura got out of the Super Robot.
The trees reached taller than the Super Robot. Otto felt small and insecure, sorta at least.
"We search in pairs. Sparx and Otto go that way. Nova and Gibson go south. And" Chiro was interrupted by Kantura. "I'll go west and you can go with Antauri north. I'll do better by myself any way." she said as wings of fire started to form on her back. They set off in the different directions.
Kantura flapped her wings and took off into the air. She perched on the tree top and looked out across the tops. She had no idea on how to start. She started to meditate. And what she saw caused her to fall out of the trees. She caught her self in time and started flying closer to the ground. She got lower and lower until she was running with her wings as back up. She halted and figured she should tell the others.
Nova and Gibson were hovering above the ground when Nova saw green fire ahead and nearly screamed. But the fire wasn't spreading. Inside the fire was Kantura's face. "Gibson! The mushrooms can wait!" she yelled as he came over. "Jinmay is underground. Start looking for caves. Tell Chiro and" the fire just disappeared.
"That's odd. Why on earth would she just cut off?", Gibson said with a hint of worry in his voice. Nova shook her head and contacted the other monkeys. "And she suddenly cut off, Antauri. Tell Chiro." Nova finished and turned to Gibson. A scream could be heard.
"That sounded like Kantura!", Gibson said as they headed in the direction. "Yeah that or it was Sparx", Nova replied with a smirk.
"I don't scream like a girl!" Nova and Gibson turned to see Sparx and Otto coming up behind them. "Yeah you kinda do." Otto said which rewarded him a glare from Sparx. They came up on Kantura surrounded by formless. They were all in a pond. A gash in her arm dripped slowly into the water. She forced them back but apparently, she was losing. Nova ran to her aid but before she got there, a formless pushed Kantura underwater.
"Lady Tomahawk!", Nova threw her fists at the formless. "Disc Doom Spin!"Otto screamed. "Spin Shocker!" Gibson joined in. "Magna Tin" Sparx was cut short when something hit his head.
"Sorry Sparx, but electricity would hurt Kantura as well.", Chiro said as he and Antauri joined the group.
"Monkey Mind Scream!" the formless became...well formless and disappeared into the water. The Monkey Team began to search the pond for Kantura. Well, the monkey team minus Sparx.
"She's not here!", Otto exclaimed. "Darn! SK probably took her to Jinmay! We'll never find them", Chiro said sitting in the shallow water. Suddenly Gibson perked up. "That's it Chiro! The cave it underwater!" "Gibson you're a genius!" Nova yelled. "Lets go then!" Otto said. Chiro looked at Sparx. "Hey Sparx, you coming?" Chiro said to the red monkey.
"Yeah, sure kid. Wouldn't want to miss kicking some bad guy's butt!" Sparx replied, but it was obvious that Sparx didn't want to go into the water. Nova walked over to him. "It'll be ok Sparky." Sparx twitched at being called Sparky. Now he defiantly was going.
Chiro walked out to the deeper end of the pond. The drop was so sudden that he nearly fell over. "Gibson! It goes really deep. Can you tell if the girls are down at the bottom of the pond for sure?" Gibson walked over to where Chiro was standing. "It's too deep and wide to be a pond. It's a lake." Chiro looked at Gibson and simply said, "Wonderful. Who wants to go first?" "Wait Chiro. How on earth do think you are going to breathe? We have breathers but you don't" Nova pointed out.
Chiro looked startled. He hadn't actually thought of that. Gibson came up with the answer. "Our jet packs are able to work under water so Sparx and Antauri could just help him go faster down there. It's quite simple really." This worked out great and they dove under the water.
She woke up confused and drained. Kantura lifted her head with effort. Her hands were chained to the wall as well as her legs. Across the cave she saw Jinmay. Jinmay looked terrible. Scratches covered her. It also appeared as though she had been electrocuted. Kantura felt the blood drip down her own arm. The dark cave had little light. Only three torches could be seen.
Over to Kantura's left, she saw a hole with water on the ground. That must be the entrance. Damn, I'll never get out. She thought.
Sparx felt the fear surround him completely. He felt as though he couldn't breathe, even though he had a breather. When he saw the hole, he could have screamed with relief. This was a living nightmare. He first gave Chiro a lift into the air. Chiro took a huge breath while the red monkey got out of the water as soon as he could.
Kantura heard a splash and turned her head. Antauri was getting out of the water. She saw Jinmay raise her head as well. Chiro, Sparx, and Antauri were there but the other three were missing. Sparx was shaking water off as fast as he could and it was quite comical.
Chiro looked over to the walls and saw Jinmay and Kantura. He ran to free Jinmay, while Antauri and Sparx helped Kantura. Chiro unchained Jinmay and he was rewarded with a hug. His blush steamed the water that remained on him.
Antauri looked at Kantura. She was drenched and her sword that was at her waist was gone. He looked over to the hole to see the rest of the monkey team get out of the water. Sparx finished with Kantura. Her wrists were bright red from the metal and she looked mad.
"Is there any way to get out other than the water?", this question came from Kantura. It appeared that Sparx felt the same. It was Gibson who answered the question, "Unfortunately, the Hydrosphere contains us entirely and the dismissing of the premises is improbable, unless there is a utterly absurd way out."
Every one just blinked. Jinmay, didn't understand a word of it, and apparently, neither did anyone else. "What does that mean in English?", Otto said. Gibson got annoyed and repeated it differently, "It means that we are surrounded by water completely. In fact we are at the middle of the lake. Leaving without going through the water is impossible unless there is a tunnel that goes below the lake and then up to the surface.""So why didn't you say so before?",Sparx said as Chiro translated for Jinmay.
Walking through the tunnel, it became harder and harder to see. They hadn't brought the torches so now it was pitch dark. "Kantura, can you make it brighter?", Nova asked the girl next to her. Kantura stopped walking and felt useless. Now she would have to tell them.
"I can't. It would take all of my effort just to light a candle. I'm sorry. I feel awful. When I get wet, I lose my fire for a quite some time. For how long depends on how wet I got. Because I was drenched, I think I'll be without fire for a few days. And even then all I would be able to do would be fire balls. It is going to be a long while before I can shape fire again or heal. If I had my sword I could help more, but I'm sorry he took it from me."
Jinmay went over to Kantura to comfort her. "Don't worry. It's not your fault. We'll be here for you.", she said in a comforting voice. Kantura smiled a grateful smile at Jinmay.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently. Some of the group fell over. As they got up, the group could see that they were surrounded by Formless. A few headed towards Kantura. She held one hand up and they flew backwards into the wall. Jinmay stayed near Kantura while the Monkey Team attacked.
Kantura was prepared to fight when the moon on her forehead started to glow. She fell to her knees with one hand pressed against it. She cried out in pain as her eyes glowed a deep red. Her dress became longer and black. The marks on her cheeks disappeared. Her eyes became blacker and in her hand was a beam maker. Her eyes became blue and sad. But it was still her face. Kantura's hair became braided and made it's self into a bun.
Jinmay stared at the transformed Kantura. Kantura looked possessed and nothing could stop her. Jinmay became frightened as she saw her friend turn the beam on. It was a light saber. It was green, however, red glittered the edge of it. When Kantura looked up at Jinmay, there was no Kantura in those eyes. Skeleton King was all that was there. A blood red chain appeared on her neck with a black skull hanging from it.
Sparx turned to see his dream girl advance on Jinmay. She was holding a weapon that looked all too familiar to Mandarin's. Apparently, Chiro saw this as well and pushed Jinmay out of the way.
"You fool. Do you honestly think you can defeat me?", Kantura's voice mixed with Skeleton King's. She put one hand in front of her and levitated Chiro into the air. Chiro struggled and tugged at his neck. He struggled to breathe.
"Heh, although this girl has no fire, she is very useful and powerful.", the figure said. Antauri saw Kantura, or what had once been her, and screamed, "Monkey Mind Scream!" Kantura fell to the ground clutching her head. Chiro fell as well finally able to breathe. Kantura pushed herself up and then spoke again with SK's voice.
"Try as you might, I do believe you are hurting your friend. With this body, I can not only control the universe, I can control time as well! Hah hah hah!" She shook and her eyes became amber again. She spoke with her own voice, "NO! I won't let you! Master! Please help!". The Hyper force was puzzled. Master? SK was her master? But then why was she resisting him?
Antauri was the only one who had an idea of what she spoke about. And he turned out to be right when a two foot green (have no idea what the species is) showed up. Kantura was suffering, trying to prevent SK from gaining control again. The monkey team could only watch.
" Master! Master Yoda!" Kantura cried out when she saw him. "When you are calm, clear of all thoughts you are, then free you will be. Don't give in to anger. Release your fear.", he said as she began to relax. A dark shadow left her body and the necklace fell off. Her moon glowed and once again, she was wearing the short flame dress. The formless left and she slide to the ground trembling. "Thanks Master Yoda." he nodded and before he left, he seemed to speak with Antauri. He then left.
Kantura trembled as Jinmay and the Monkey Team watched her. After what seemed like an eternity of silence, she finally spoke "I'm so sorry Chiro. I was so scared. I was using the dark side of the Force. I was so scared." she continued to tremble. Chiro couldn't help but ask, "What did SK mean when he said 'I will control time as well'? You can't control time. Or for that matter the universe." Kantura shook her head violently as she hugged her knees.
"Sparx, do you remember when you asked why I could understand you? I said it came with a power I have, or rather more of a curse. I'll tell you now. The entire story is incredibly long so I'll skip it and head to the details. I am the Guardian of Time Space. I have been to different times and places in the universe. So far, every time I'm placed some time or place new, I end up dying before age 21. Usually it's the same reason. I help fight an evil and end up dying. If this keeps up, I'll be born somewhere and no longer remember who I am. I told you that you wouldn't believe me." Tears trickled down her face.
Sparx felt bad for asking the question before. Jinmay and Nova helped comfort the trembling Kantura. After awhile Otto actually said something useful.
"So are we gonna leave or what?", Otto said. Kantura stood up and they started forward. She felt so bad about what she had done. She had nearly killed Chiro. She was scared of the Dark Side. She remembered as if it was yesterday when she left Tatooine with her brother. However, she didn't even know if she was in the same time frame as him.
Formless came out of the shadows all of the sudden and quietly sneaked up on the group. There were many of them and instead of melting when destroyed, they reformed and kept attacking. The group was out numbered. Jinmay and Kantura were pushed back and unable to move because the formless had paralyzed them. The same thing happened to the entire group, until only Antauri remained.
A shape appeared out of the shadows and shot lighting at Antauri. He yelled an the figure laughed. Light showed who it was. They were captured had could do nothing. They were prisoners and would never be free again. SK had captured the Monkey Team.
A/N: Yay! Another chapter is finished! I hope you enjoy it! Next time, the Monkey Team is in a cell. To pass the time Kantura tells her past. Something that's been haunting her for years.
