Me: Welcome to Chapter Two!
Ashton: Why did you ruin my good mood?
Me: (Sighs.) Because you needed a reminder that Social Workers will be coming by.
Ashton: Social Workers are stupid.
Me: I know.
Coca-Cola: Hey, what are you two talking about?
Ashton and Me: Nothing.
Coca-Cola: You seem suspicious…
Ashton: I didn't know you knew such a big word.
Coca-Cola: Are you calling me dumb?
Ashton: I'm not saying it, am I?
Me: Stop it! Both of you!
Coca-Cola: Fine!
Ashton: Whatever you say boss.
Coca-Cola: Aunna doesn't own SRMTHFG.
Me: But I do own Ashton, Coca-Cola, and friends.
Ashton: Read and Review!
Chapter Two: Robots Plus Formless Equals Overprotective Brothers
"You sure you're going to be okay?" Cola asked.
"Yes Cola!" I shouted. "Now go to work before I call Ashton!"
"Alright, alright!" Cola said. "Have fun!" He drove off and I rolled my eyes. He really does have trust issues.
I put my hand on the robot's foot and the door slid open. I walked in to find it pitch black. "Hello?" I shouted. "Anyone home?"
I went into my tube and ended up in Command Center, only to find it pitch black like the rest of the robot. "Antauri?" I asked. "Nova? Sprx? Otto? Gibson? Blossom? Venus? Zara? Ekantha? Are you there?"
Suddenly I was on the floor. I screamed and struggled as I realized I was being pinned by a Formless. "Thunder Punch!" I yelled.
The Formless blew apart and I activated my Hyperform. I was on high alert. Where was the monkey team? How did that Formless get into the robot?
I heard something behind me but I never had a chance. I was on the floor, unconscious, the moment I turned around.
Few hours later…
I moaned as I woke up. I tried to get onto my knees, only to discover that I was tied and gagged. I was scared now. No one knows where I'm at, including me, and the monkey team is missing. Yup, that definitely makes me scared.
"Are you sure that the boy is unconscious?" I heard Mandarin ask.
"I'm sure master," a voice said. "Though, I doubt he will be long,"
I felt Mandarin's hands grab me and undo the gag on my mouth. "Make sure the Hyperforce can see him," Mandarin said.
"Of course master," the voice said.
"Do not fail me Jabarl," Mandarin said. "If you do not get something out of this I will have no choice but to kill you,"
"Don't worry Mandarin," Jabarl said. "I will bring something back,"
"Go," Mandarin said. I cracked my eyes open and saw Mandarin flinch and bite his tongue. The Alchemist's spell was still effecting him.
Jabarl took me from Mandarin and handed me to a Formless. "Strike," he said.
I wondered what strike meant. Then the Formless hit me in the head hard and I was lost to unconsciousness again.
Coca-Cola's P.O.V
"What do you mean he's not there?" I asked, panic rising in my voice.
"I mean Chiro's missing," Nova said. "All we found was a piece of his scarf and some blood. I think Mandarin has him,"
"What are we going to do?" I asked. "We have to get Sugar Rush back!"
"Sugar Rush?" Nova asked. "Who's that?"
I chuckled. "It's an old nickname I gave to Chiro," I said. "Maybe I can explain at Antauri's birthday party,"
"Alright," Nova said. "Can you hold on a moment? I've got another call,"
"Yeah," I said. "I'll wait a minute,"
"Thanks," she said and switched to the other caller. I looked at Kalven and he gave me a questioning look.
"Chiro's missing," I said, fighting back tears.
"You've only had him one day!" Kalven exclaimed.
"I know," I moaned. "Apparently the monkeys got a fake emergency call,"
"So, it was a trap?" Kalven asked.
"That's what they think," I said. "Man, I am not looking forward to telling Ashton,"
"Who would be?" Kalven asked. "Superman is going to be so ticked!"
"Yeah," I said. "But Chi's strong. I know he won't stop fighting,"
I heard a click. "Nova," I said. "What's up?"
"We got a call about Chiro," she said. "They want to meet us at the abandoned park. Can you get there?" she asked.
"Of course," I said. "Are you going to call Ashton, or am I going to?"
"Antauri already contacted him," Nova said. "Just hurry!"
"We'll be there in a sec," I said and hung up the phone.
"We gonna rescue the squirt?" Kalven asked.
"Just grab the keys!" I sighed. Kalven laughed and we ran for the truck. My baby brother needs me.
Ashton's P.O.V
I flew down the road in Swipes's truck. Swipes was driving like a maniac and I was encouraging it. "How much longer?" I asked.
"One more turn!" Swipes yelled over the motor.
"Then slow down a little," I said. "Let's not run over any monkeys!"
"Got it Superman!" Swipes said as he hit the brakes. We stopped and then Swipes went a normal speed. "You okay?" he asked.
"I'll be fine," I said. "You okay?
"I'm fine," Swipes said.
We turned the corner and saw nine monkeys awaiting us. The blue one, Gibson, ran up to us. We jumped out the truck. "We thought you were going to crash," he said.
"You saw us?" I asked.
"It was obvious," Gibson said, pointing down the stretch of road we had previously been flying down at one-hundred and ten miles per hour on.
"Sorry," Swipes said. "We just wanted to help the Kid," Swipes pulled out an old baseball bat. "They'll be sorry that they messed with Chiro,"
I pulled out my switchblade. "You got that right," I said.
Swipes looked at me. "Is Cola carrying his pipe?" he asked.
"Yup," I said. "Kalven carrying his heater?"
"Yup," Swipes said.
"A heater?" Blossom asked. "Is he planning on melting the Formless after two days?"
"No," I said. "A heater is another name for a gun,"
The monkeys flinched. I saw Kalven and Coca-Cola pull up and pull out their weapons.
Antauri was about to say something when we heard footsteps. We spun around and saw an African-American man wearing black, red, and orange walking with Formless. "Who are you?" Ekantha growled.
"I am Jabarl," the man said. "I am a servant of Mandarin's,"
"What do you want?" Antauri asked.
"Your surrender," Jabarl said.
"Why would we surrender?" Venus asked.
"Because of him," Jabarl said. We heard a blood curdling scream and saw Chiro being held captive by monster Formless with horns and blood red eyes. "Chiro!" Coca-Cola shouted.
"Coca-Cola!" Chiro screamed. "Help!"
"And you are?" Jabarl asked.
"I'm Coca-Cola," Cola snarled. "And I'm Chiro's older brother!"
Cola threw his pipe and it just happened to hit both Formless that were holding my little brother hostage. We all charged at the Formless while Gibson and I ran over to Chiro. Gibson, to make sure he was alright. Me, to make sure that the Formless didn't touch either of them.
Four Formless approached. I grasped my knife tighter. "Say hello to my little friend!" I shouted as I ripped them apart.
A little bit of ooze landed on Gibson and Chiro. "Can you try not to get us dirty please?" Gibson asked.
"I'll try," I said. "But I promise nothing!" I lashed out at the new Formless surrounding us. They weren't getting anywhere near my baby brother.
"We need to get out of here!" Gibson yelled. "Chiro had a concussion!"
I growled at the words. "Coca-Cola, Swipes, start the trucks!" I hollered as I fought the Formless.
"Nova, Venus, help Gibson carry Chiro to the robot!" Antauri yelled. Antauri jumped to my side. "Need help my friend?" he asked.
"Plenty of it," I said as twenty came forward. "You ready Silv?" I asked.
"If you are talking to me then yes!" Antauri shouted.
We ripped and slashed those Formless apart. They stood no chance against the power of me and Antauri. Soon there was only a big puddle of ooze and Jabarl had fled the scene. "Who is Silv?" Antauri asked.
"A nickname for you," I said. "Let's make sure Chiro's alright,"
Antauri nodded and we walked back to the trucks to go to the Super Robot. Then I was hit with the news no brother wants to hear.
"Chiro is in a coma,"
