Thanks FireNovaLover for the review. I was actually wondering if anybody noticed that Antauri wasn't in the last chapter. Anyway sorry it took so long for the update my mind came to a total blank when I went to write it. Well other then that please enjoy!

CH 8

Again Nova's eyes began to open this time to a bright morning sky. She gave a small groan as she sat up and looked around slowly. She shook her head in remembrance of what she had seen the previous night. She took a sharp intake of breath as she heard a small crack from behind her. 'This isn't good' she thought while backing up into a tree.

Chiro, Jin-may, Gibson, Otto, and Sprx were all on their way towards the supposed jungle. Their was a dead silence on the way their for fear of the video they all had witnessed not but minutes ago.

The remainder of the team were preparing for the trip to the island. A loud beeping noise came from the central computer which caused Gibson and Otto to run over to the computer "Afternoon HyperForce" a dark vice said. Gibson and Jin-may exchanged glances before the voice continued. "It has come to my attention that one of my so called minions have told you where you can find your 'teammates' and that now you are currently hovering above my island." Chiro's eyes narrowed "So what? You better not of hurt them!" The voice gave off a cruel laugh "Now why would I hurt them when my other minions could do it for me but alas if they somehow make it to my chamber before time is up, then they will be killed by my own hand. Hm this transmission was supposed to serve as a warning for you. No more interruptions as for here is the true message," A disturbing image appeared onthe screen. "This will happen to you if you try and mess with my plans!" After that the screen flashed black.

The team looked to it's leader "Well kid?" Sprx questioned the leader of the team. Gibson, Otto, and Jin-may all had their attention directed upon him. Chiro looked at each member of his team. After a few moments he nodded and looked at the map of the island. "Let's go."

Nova trembled slightly before very quietly calling out "Antauri is that you?" When she found no answer she feared for the worst. Nova stood her ground against the tree with her fist activated and waited for what was to come.

His eyes began opening slowly as he sat up and looked at his surroundings. It looked like a forest to him but a shock ran through his body as an earsplitting scream erupted from his frame. He clenched his head as it ran through his body. He shook as he let out another scream this time from the pain being doubled. He couldn't truly think at this moment but a single thought plagued his mind. 'What is this?!' was the only clear thought. As though it seemed like he was about to pass out from the pain, it seemed to slowly decrease. If any other soul had been in the area as him they would of been disturbed by the wounds glowing purple on his back.

As the scream pierced through the air she caught part of it. 'no..' she thought while looking to the are from which the sound echoed. Not forgetting about her current situation she looked forward and with a newfound strength she charged at whatever caused the sound. What she found made her turn red. A simple fox turn and ran at sight of the monkey. She sighed and gave a small shake in relief. With a turn she began running to where she heard the scream.

He was not dead nor was he unconscious, but his eyes seemed like they would never be opened. Deep green ivy vines began wrapping themselves around his arms, legs, tail, stomach, chest, neck, and head. The vines became tight but not enough to hurt the monkey only hold him in place. His eyes wouldn't open and he knew something was about to happen. Something bad. An evil presence stood before him weapon drawn and ready for it's latest kill. He had to get free! The planet needed him! The team needed him! She needed him. She wouldn't survive this on her own. She couldn't even if she was one of the strongest she wouldn't make it. But it hurt. It hurt so bad to move, even to breathe. Every breath was like needles piercing through his body. Even with the pain he forced one eye open. This would not be how it ended! Or so he thought till he saw the creature looming in front of him. He thoughts slowly began to differ as the light shown on the blade held in it's clawed hand.
