Prophecy of Elements- Awakening Air
The Super Robot was surprisingly busy at such an early time in the morning. The Hyperforce was in an important meeting dealing with the peculiar incidents happening on Shugazoom.
"This is really weird," the boy leader said a worried look on his features, "I mean; things like this haven't happened in Shugazoom before."
"It's true; the city has never been rocked by an earthquake that big." Otto added wearily, his eyes cast to the video screen. It displayed various building getting shaken, citizens running in fear and the two mysterious figures at the construction site.
"Well, if you ask me, this is all too coincidental for my taste. Something's going on..." Sprx said wiping the glossy, red surface of his magnets.
"There are many pieces in this puzzle, and they all fit together. The question is how they connect." Antauri proclaimed coming out of his lotus meditative position.
Everyone looked to Gibson; who was sitting in his chair, eyes closed in thought. When he opened them, he received a blank stare from his team members.
"What? Was I supposed to say something?" The dense tone in his voice sparked some worry in his friends as he stood up and left the room.
The only other comment came from Otto, "What wrong with him?"
Gibson walked into his laboratory, his mind hazed with thought. It was those eyes... It seemed bizarre for him to act this way over a complete stranger. He had tossed and turned all night, barely focused on his work and team. He walked over and slowly day down. His silver palms dug into the bridge of his nose. He felt so troubled, like his very soul was being ripped from his chest. What bothered him more was the fact he was worried over something as simple as a pair of ocular lenses. However his curiosity was perked as one question entered his mind
Where were those eyes now?
Aqua moaned in her sleep, slowly opening her crimson eyes to the sun rays that bathed the cave in light. She rose to a sitting position, stretching her arms above her head. She looked around the cavern to see Demetria still sleeping, curled up in a tiny ball, and Nova awake standing by the mouth, gazing at the golden dawn. Aqua stood to her feet and walked behind her new leader.
"Greetings." She said, turning to face the sunrise as well.
"Hey."
"So, I suspect that we must-"
"Awaken Air?" Nova cut her off and turned to face her, "Yes."
Aqua's face scrunched in annoyance, but straightened when she saw the tired look on Nova's face. It seemed etched with worry and stress and her eyes seemed to lose their peppiness.
"Is something wrong?" She asked, stretching her arm to reach her shoulder.
"I'm fine. I just had a rough night that's all."
"If you're sureā¦"
"'Yeah, I'm ok." Nova smiled, "Pretty soon the whole team will be together again."
"Not to be unfair, but you were never apart of the team until now." Aqua replied with a small smirk across her lips.
Nova, in return, playfully stuck her tongue in the blue simian, causing her to giggle.
That slight giggle caused Demi to yawn and wake up, rubbing her magenta eyes to the new-found sun. She then sat up and smiled,
"Morning! So, let's go wake up Giselle!"
"Now, hold up, let's learn from our mistakes. These mortalas have been on our tails for this whole mission. We will need to distract them." Aqua placed her hand below her chin, what she often did when she was thinking.
"I have an idea." Nova said, gathering the girl into a group huddle.
"I can't believe were on crowd control, Gibson." The red monkey scoffed as he and his blue partner stood on to of a old brick building watching the large crowd of citizens going to various tents and exhibits.
"Sprx," Gibson, huffed tiredly, "Last time the circus remained in Shugazoom, we all almost became circus clowns. We don't want a repeat of that. this maybe the only happiness the citizens get in the war."
Sprx grumbled and plopped down on the ledge. Gibson sighed and followed his actions. He looked over and noticed Sprx's forlorn frown and felt a pang of sadness in his own heart.
"I miss her too."
Sprx sat up and cast a surprise to the blue simian.
"We all miss Nova, Sprx; but we must press on. It would be what she would want."
Sprx straightened up and sighed, "Yeah, I know Gibson. I just wish she could have told us what was going on. Maybe we could have helped or something."
"Nova would never leave the team unless she had a good reason. She will come back, we just need to wait." Gibson placed a hand on his friends shoulder in a comforting manner.
Sprx chuckled and replied in a fake tired tone, "I've waited for her my whole life, I don't how how much longer I can wait."
Both men chuckled as Sprx saw something dart through the crowd.
He turned on his binoculars and noted the presence of a certain pink and green furred monkey.
"Hey, Gibson." Sprx pointed to his target as he looked, "Found one."
Gibson opened his transmission, "Gibson to Hyperforce: we have a visual on target one. She appears to be heading toward the big tent. Target two not yet spotted."
Chiro's voice radioed in on the line, "Alright team, try to make contact. We want to get some information outta her."
Gibson and Sprx the proceeded down the building and through the crowds after their target.
Demi wandered through the swarms of people. Her eyes darted all around trying to watch her back as she moved. Stick to the plan, that was everything on her mind, the plan; the plan, the... Hey!
Demi stopped as she heard a small cry. She followed the sound until she came to a booth with a rather large looking man inside. His fat lips smirked as the thick cigar burned brightly as he laughed. The little girl looked ready to cry as she sagged her head, ashamed. Demi noticed the booth was a carnival game, more precisely knock the milk-bottles. The game looked obviously rigged, brown glue poking out from the bottoms of the fogged glasses. Demi scowled and her temper rose, to cheat a child out of joy? Oh someone needed a lesson. She noticed the girl begin to walk away.
"Hey!" She yelled as she ran to meet the kid. The little girl turned to see the green and pink monkey run toward her.
"Hello." the simian smiled happily
"Um... Hi." the girl said nervously.
"Did that mean guy cheat you out of a prize?"
"Yeah, be said he give me the teddy bear if I won, but he ball just bownced off." Tears started to fill her eyes as she added, "Then he said I throw like a baby."
Demi tutted and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll get it for you."
"Really?". The girl perked up immediately.
"Sure, watch this."
She strutted over to the stand and smacked a dollar she had found on the table.
The guy looked at the animal for a minute before giving her a baseball.
Demi looked at the sorry excuse for a piece of sporting equipment, then back to the figure.
"One dollar a ball."
"You call this a ball?" Demi said pitifully. "I've seen better balls in a junkyard. You know, where you got all this crap."
"Hey monkey, this ain't junk.". He looked
mad as his eyes widened.
"Really? How about a bet?" Demi smirked as she edged forward.
"Yeah."
"Fine. I bet that I can knock down all of them in one shot, blindfolded."
"Deal, fat chance it happenin' though." The man scoffed as he crossed his arms.
Demi smiled, surprised how gullible this guy was. Behind the guy, the brown glue began to wiggle. It sprung to life and ran across the table and onto the floor, slipping under the man's shoes.
Demi took a green bandana and covered her magenta eyes, wound up her pitch and tossed it at the glass bottles. The ball smashed through the containers and proceeded to destroy the shack! The ball bounced all over the wooden walls like it had a mind of it's own. The structure wobbled before collapsing to the ground. The man pushed himself out of the rubble, coughing from the smoke.
"HEY! How you do dat?"
Demi slid off the blindfold, giggled and shrugged, "Guess I'm just THAT good." She walked over and picked a green Teddy bear that surprisingly landed on top of the mess, unharmed.
"I'll take my prize. Oh and you better clean up all this junk, it's not good for the environment."
The fat guy looked ready to blow, the cigar still burning in his lips.
"Oh, and by the way," She walked over yanked the smoking stick out of his fat lips.
"These things are terrible for your health."
Otto stumbled through the crowd, looking for the mystery girl. She was last spotted near the big tent. He dashed through crowds of citizens and came to a sudden halt. In the clearing of people was the monkey alone with a little kid. He didn't want to be spotted so he hid behind a popcorn and candy stand as he watched the target carefully.
"Here you go." She said, the green monkey give the girl a light green teddy bear.
A sparkle seemed to illuminate the kid's eyes as she gazed happily at the stuffed object. She ripped it from her metal hands and cuddled it tightly in her arms.
"Thank you, miss!" she said happily before running off to find her parents.
The monkey sighed at the little girl.
"Ok, focus! The mission, remember!"
With that, Otto came out of hiding and grabbed the girl from behind, trying to restrain her.
"Hey!" She yelled in protest as she squirmed in her attacker's arms. She managed to shift positions to face her enemy. Otto expected her to hit him, or at least scream, however her reaction surprised him. Her eyes widened as she seemed to stare into his depth of black. Her jade fur bristled and her body went lax in his strong arms.
"Umm... Are you ok?" Otto asked carefully. He didn't want to be set into a trap.
"Hmmm?" The monkey blinked and shook her head. "Oh, you caught me, didn't you?"
Otto only nodded his head.
A tiny smile came over Her white lips,
"Well, at least my captor is cute."
Otto felt his cheeks heat up at the statement.
"Uh... Thank you?" Should he be thanking her?
She was about to respond when Sprx and Gibson met up with him.
"Nice going, Otto." The red monkey gave him a thumbs up.
"She isn't hurt is she?" Gibson questioned worriedly as Otto stared at him, puzzled.
"Nah, she's-" Otto turned to continue his statement, only to see the stranger unconscious in his arms.
Sprx walked over and helped Otto place the figure on the ground as she began to awake.
Gibson was the first to speak,
"Who are you?"
The girl blinked, then smiled, "My name is Demi and I'm running blocker for my two friends up there." She poked her gleaming digit in the air toward a large building with two figures at the top.
The trio looked at each other in surprise as Chiro and Antauri joined the group.
"Good job team." the boy leader said strongly.
"No time kid, look!"
The two extras looked towards the roof to see two figures standing on the roof top, waiting for something.
"Chiro, your orders?" The silver monkey asked, his voice slightly tense with the atmosphere.
"Alright, team intercept and capture. I'll see what we can do with our friend here." Chiro said confidently as he took the girl out of Otto's hold. Needless to sat, she wasn't happy at all.
The monkeys flew up to meet their intruders as Chiro turned to the girl simian. He pressed his transmitter, transforming into his normal form and got down on knee level to see her, eye to eye.
He smiled, "Now, what's your name?"
Aqua paced back and forth across the hot asphalt as Nova had sat down on her thighs in a praying position. Her eyes closed as she glowed gold, trying to gather some energy for her body.
"What's taking her so long?" Aqua mumbled nervously as she wrung her hands together, a serious scowl on her muzzle.
"Don't worry," Nova said as she stopped glowing but didn't open her orbs, "she'll show. She knows the plan."
"Yes, but can she pull it off?" The blue simian sighed, "I should have went with her..."
Nova's eyes shot open as she said, " It's here."
Floating across the skyline was a huge, fluffy white cloud. As it slowly approached the building, a crystalized staircase revealed itself on the surface. Nova stood as Aqua joined her side when the cloud stopped.
"We must hurry." Aqua stated some-what calmly, "The air fortress only appears on Shugazoom's planet for a hour before vanishing for ten years."
"Then we have a window of opportunity." Nova said, her fur lighting aflame as she walked on air to the platform, keeping Aqua afloat with her.
Everything seemed to be going well when, "STOP RIGHT THERE!"
The blue and fire monkey stopped as the fire turned to see the Hyperforce standing in attack position.
"What do you want me to do?" Aqua whispered to her flaring leader.
Nova thought for a minute, "Go, I'll hold them off."
As soon as she finished, The blue and red monkey dashed up the stairs as Nova turned to face her own team.
She jumped and landed on the roof, slowly rising to her feet
This was going to be fun
"As guardians of this city and planet we order you to surrender now,or we will use force to bring you to justice." Antauri's sturdy voice commanded as the team took out their weapons in emphasis his point.
Nova smirked, this would be difficult but she had the advantage. She knew her teams strengths as well as their weaknesses. She knew she could take them.
"Guardians," she spoke seriously, surprised by her voice difference in her inferno mode, "You are warned. I mean you no harm and I wish to keep it like so. Leave me to my business and no one shall be hurt."
She flared to emphasize her message, created two flaming swords.
The two forces prepared to meet, when Nova ring began to glow.
Fantastic, now? Nova thought in agitation. She then dramatically raised her arm and in a flash of fire vanished. The Hyperforce looked around, trying to find relocate their villainous target when a dozen black and white minions appeared from the stairwell.
"Formless, HERE? NOW?" Sprx grumbled impatiently.
The monkeys and goo soldiers attacked each other, Antauri nodded to his teammates before flying to the crystal staircase, following a small hunch.
Inside, Antauri was amazed at the vast heavens of beauty
the palace held. The structure itself seemed to be made from opaque glass, creating a sanctuary feeling. Under a vaulted ceiling of orange tapestries stood the two mystery figures over a pod of metal. The silver monkey quickly hid behind an ivory pillar and listened to the sinkage talk.
"Is she almost awake?" the fire one asked as the blue monkey stood across from her. She was moving her arms in a circular motion.
"Yes, soon she shall be one of us again."
"With the team together, nothing can stand in our way."
"Let's make it official." The fire creature stretched it hand toward the unsuspecting thing inside.
Antauri took that as a symbol and used his telepathic primate powers to knock both simians away from the capsule.
"Awaken Ai-aaaaahh!" It yelled as it flew backwards.
The silver simian ran up the steps toward the pod and stopped when he gazed inside.
Nestled inside the capsule was a violet monkey with gleaming orange eyes. She was covered in a purple silk blanket, decorated with orange honeysuckles and green vines. Her face was calm, almost like she was asleep through the crisis around her. Dark midnight hair, swerving around her body, elegantly. Anaturi froze, shocked at the peaceful scene and at the strange girl before him. He couldn't understand why, but he felt a peculiar feeling fill his body as he stared at the stranger.
Antauri then felt himself thrown aside, his metal body sliced and scorched from the attack. He looked up in anger to see the flaring monkey bearing two swords of pure fire.
The other blue monkey ran to the pod, her eyes filled with worry as she moved one arm down the girls body, scanning her. Her eyes seemed paralyzed with concern, "She's not responding!"
Her next thought was cut as the fortress began to rumble,
"We have to get out of here!" she yelled franticly as she heaved the girl's body onto her shoulder. The flaming simian took one final look at the heavily panting spiritual leader, before grabbing the others and flying off.
Antauri struggled to his feet, clutching his burned side and began running out. He barely managed to fling himself out of the palace and onto the asphalt before it vanished completely.
The monkey team made quick work of the formless and met to help the silver monkey.
"Antauri, you ok?" Otto, said holding onto one side of him while Sprx holding the other.
"I'm alright, slightly burned, but I'll live."
Gibson looked up to see the castle gone and the figures fly off.
"Let's get him back to Super Robot."
"Look, Chiro," Demi sighed for the umpteenth time, "I would love to tell you but I can't. I swore to it!"
Chiro clicked his tongue in frustration. He had been like this with her for over an hour and only knew her name.
"Look, Demi. I know you can't tell everything but can you tell me something?" He was trying to stay calm, but failing miserably, his face reddening with blood.
Demi was about to respond when she perked up and her head shot, before a nervous look across her muzzle. She turned back to the boy, a foreboding look in her magenta red eyes.
"Chiro, the war is just getting started. Soon, something will happen that will change all this entirely, then the war will begin. Be careful."
And before he could question her anymore questions, she ran off.
"Wait!" he yelled, extending his hand in her direction, but it was too late.
He stood there, wondering about her words when his thoughts scrambled at the sound of his communicator.
*Hyperfoce to Chiro, come in kid, over.*
"Chiro here, did you stop them?"
*Unfortunately not, unlucky timing with some formless. Antauri got messed up in the struggle. He'll live.*
"Alright, I'll be back t the robot soon. Chiro out."
He then dashed toward the gleaming metal robot in determination.
Else where, two hooded figures entered a temple on top of a mountain. Passing through a few hallways they came to two pods.
In one was a male, yellow monkey with electric blue eyes. He wore a light blue cape over his shoulders and a big, blue lightning bolt across his broad chest. In the second chest was a female monkey with black fur and icy blue eyes, the blue looked almost white. She wore a tight blue dress that matched the color of her eyes, as well as matching high heels. Ebony hair flowed out of her skull and down to her waist, a swooped bang covered her right eye.
The two figures split, each walking over to a different pod.
One removed his hood to see a tall, charcoal black simian with smokey eyes an bright yellow pupils. He opened the pod and touched the boy, causing his eyes to flutter open.
"Ugh... What the?"
"Wake up boy." The male grunted as the yellow male sat up
The other figure walked to the other tube and opened it, same as the male. She lifted her hood to see a drop-dead, gorgeous pink monkey with lustful gold eyes. The girl slowly began to stir, "Bloody..."
"Wake up, there isn't much time."
Both monkeys sat up and swung their legs over the side, finally making eyes contact.
"Well, hello babe." The yellow monkey said nogalisticly as she scowled a him, getting up and roughly slapped him across the face.
"Oww..."
"What the devil is HE doing up?"
"Enough arguing." the black male said as the pink female joined his side, "The time has come."
A greedly look appeared in his eyes as he smirked,
"Let the war begin."
Nova paced back and forth, antsy as Aqua was scanning the girl. Demi came running in, panting out if breath.
"How is she?"
Aqua stopped and sighed wearily as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"Not good, her pulse is barely there. Her grain is half awake and her body is practically lifeless."
"How much longer can you give her?" Nova stopped pacing.
"Unless I get the proper medical equipment, at most 24 hours until her heart stops completely."
Nova took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"I can't let that happen."
"But Nova," Demi asked questionably extending her arms, "where can we get technology like that?"
Nova lifted her head toward the setting sun. She made up her mind, right then.
I'm breaking them into the Super Robot.
