Ch 13

Nova kept her eyes on Meves who was rushing at her kunai ready to kill. Antauri was on the ground trying to get over to her ASAP.

Time seemed to slow down as the kunai came closer towards her. She stood bravely awaiting for her fate to be delivered by the creature before her.

But the blow never came. Instead a shout and a blast came from an unknown friend. As the dust settled Nova opened her eyes and looked to see a figure before her.

"CHIRO!!!!" The young boy turned around only to be tackled to the ground by the golden monkey.

He smiled "Nova" he wrapped his arms around her and got to his feet holding the bruised and battered monkey in his arms. He held her in a tight embrace as she did him. "I guess I came at a pretty good time." She nodded. "Thank you Chiro"

Blue eyes watched them from the tree side he was currently leaning on. Antauri smiled at the two. He was barely standing because of the injury's he had received. His left arm held him up against the tree.

Chiro held her close "Nova I thought I'd never see you again." "I wasn't entirely sure we would see you again either."

Her eyes widened after the words escaped her mouth and she pushed away from the boy and ran to Antauri. "I'm so sorry!" The silver simian smiled "It's alright Nova"

Chiro turned around to face where the yellow one had ran off. His eyes widened as he saw who she ran to "antauri.." he mumbled.

He couldn't believe how bad off the silver monkey was. Scratches of all kinds lined his body, some bleeding a dark crimson others had dries flows of blood upon his silver fur. Three dark black wounds that once glowed purple were some what visible to the boy.

Nova wrapped her arm around his waist while he put his arm around her neck and slowly stood up propperly. Slowly but surely they made their way to the boy.

Chiro dropped to his knees when they arrived and pulled his mentor into a hug. "Antauri." The silver simian smiled and held the embrace. "I'm so glad to see you unharmed."

Nova smiled at the two she was standing beside. Suddenly a silver arm and a human arm extended to her. She smiled and joined them in a three person hug.

The rest of the monkey team kept running after the boy. "Aw darn it kid ya couldn't wait for the rest of us could ya."

"Of course not Sprx, Chiro is worried!" "And I'm NOT!?!" Otto became silent and the others stared at the red monkey. "Sprx." Jin-may began.

"Just drop it!" he said while running faster. Otto looked back at the other two. "What's with him?" "I believe he is just extremely worried for Nova and Antauri's sake"

'More like Nova' Jin-may thought. "Just don't worry about it now Otto. He's just stressed kind of like we all are." The green one nodded and kept running.

They all came to a halt behind the red monkey, not much longer from their small talk. Sprx had stopped behind a few large bushes and a tree. They all peeked around him to see what he was staring at.

Before anyone could say anything Otto ran through the bush at them. "Chiro!! Did you find them!?" Chiro let go of the two Otto obviously didn't see. Otto stopped mid run when he saw the two after Chiro moved.

Nova was holding Antauri up again and they smiled at the green monkey. "Hey Otto" she said gently. Antauri smiled at him then turned his gaze to the other monkeys and one girl. "You may come over if you wish"

Otto hurriedly ran over to the two and hugged them both gently. "Man you guys look rough" "Maybe that's cause we've been in a bunch of battles." Gibson and Jin-may walked over to the two and as Jin-may gave hugs Gibson began to look at Nova's fist and what it would take to repair them. "My word Nova just what have you been up to?"

The yellow monkey sighed and repeated herself. "Just a bunch of battles Gibson" He sighed, shook his head, and began some quick repair work. Sprx slowly walked over to the two after a few minutes.

"Hi Sprx" "Hello" the two monkeys greeted. Sprx gave a small nod with his trademark grin. "Hey you two! How ya been? Enjoying your vacation?"

Nova grinned so he wanted to play? fine by her. "Just fine. We've really enjoyed our time together on this island." She pulled Antauri a little bit closer to add emphasis. Hatred and jealousy flashed in his eyes before he quickly blinked it away, hoping that no one had noticed. He was wrong someone had and that someone wasn't to happy about it.

Sprx quickly threw out a grin and continued. "Well if you enjoyed it that much maybe it should just be me and you next time eh Nova? Maybe we could-" 'BAM!'

Sprx hit the ground hard after receiving a blow to the head from the silver monkey. A low growl erupted from Antauri's frame. His blue eyes held a look of an almost evil hatred for the red one. The others eyes became wide as they all looked at the silver monkey.

"Antauri, did you just..?" Chiro left the question at blank. One question ran through each team members head. 'What's wrong with him?'

As quick as the look of hatred came it left his face. A hand shot to his head as he felt it beginning to throb in a great pain. "Sorry" he said quietly.

Once again the wounds on his back glowed a dull purple color. Nova noticed this. "Antauri you wanna sit down?" She asked him extremely quietly. He gave a small nod "Please"

She led him to another tree and helped him sit down so he was able to lean on it. She took a seat next to him and looked at the others.

Chiro walked over to them and knelt before his mentor. He stayed there for a moment then asked the question everyone had plaguing their minds. "Antauri what's wrong?"
