Dawn of a New Era
Chapter 3: Beginning the Chase
Chiro's Point of View:
I couldn't believe the sight before me. My daughter had just flow off with the children of my old team in a second robot. I didn't even know that there was a second robot. But when I looked at the team, they seam just as surprised as Jinmay and I were.
"Otto, can you contact them?" I asked.
"I don't know Chiro. I never knew that they even had a second robot." He replied sadly.
"But how did we not see it?" Gibson asked. "How could we not have known that the children were planning on leaving, and taking the girl with them?"
"I sense that they had planning this for a while now, the only reason that held them back was that they were waiting for Jasmine to come here. The second chosen one, the one that was to lead them. They knew all along, and we didn't see it because we so desperately didn't want to happen, but by preventing it form happening, it just prolonged the inevitable." Antauri said.
"We need to go after them." I said.
"But what about the city Chiro?" My wife Jinmay told me. "We can't just leave it undefended!"
"The city hasn't been touched in years, it will be fine." I said hardly to her.
"Chiro," Jinmay said quietly. "I want her back just as much as you do, but we can't just abandon the city, its our sworn duty to protect it, we can't just abandon everyone, not like we did Jas." I started at her shocked. We didn't abandon our daughter… we didn't…
"Chiro, we must come up with a plan, we must have a few of us stay behind and watch over the city and the rest of us will find the children." Antauri said.
The group of monkeys and their leaders went silent as they all looked at one another to see who would give into staying here.
"We'll stay." We all looked over to see that the three sisters had banded together, Tiffany, Snowy, and Violet.
"Are you sure? Maybe the girls will listen to you more then us." Gibson said sadly.
"No Gibson, we're all to blame for this, but us three, we knew that this was going to happen for a long time. And we knew it would be our job to stay here and watch over the city. It's your job to go after the kids." Snowy said. "We'll be fine, we can protect ourselves. We'll watch over the city, and if we need help, we have many allies to call upon for help."
Antauri nodded to them. "Then it is settled. You three shall remain behind and we will restore our rescores and go after the children. We should get started now, the longer we wait, the most distance we put between us and them."
The whole team agreed and we got prepared to launch. I'm coming Jas and you won't believe how sorry I am…
Jasmine's Point of View:
I watched as our Super Robot final had broken threw the stratosphere of the planet and watched as we got further and further away for the families who had not believed in us, or at least me.
"Oh my god." I whispered. "We made it. We're free."
"Yes, we may have, but our parents will soon give chase to us and try to bring us home." The black monkey said. "We have to fly to a resource planet and we'll get some supplies before we can get too far, thankfully, our families have to do the same thing since they have to get things for your parents and a few other things. Now we just need to get our supplies together and get going."
"Well, we're in luck. A planet coming up by the name of Occa seams to have everything we'll need, even some new clothes for our leader." The red monkey said.
"Set a course for there Rose, and then we get to spend some time to get to know our leader, and she to know us." Said the black monkey.
"So who wants to go first?" Asked the blue monkey. We all looked at each other before the green one jumped up.
"I'll go first!" She said happily. "My name is Olivia. I'm the daughter of the chief mechanic on the older Super Robot, and I was his apprentice. He taught me everything I know so I guess that makes me chief of mechanics on this Super Robot. I think that everyone is a nice person, unless they do something bad, then sometimes there not that nice." I couldn't help but smile at her, she seamed to be so child like, and at the same time, it was hard to believe a child like monkey as herself built this entire robot by herself.
"I'll go next then." The blue one said. "My name is Gabriella. I am the daughter of the chief of science on the old robot and was under his mentorship, thus making me the chief of science here. I also have a degree here as the head medical officer incase anyone is injured, harmed or ill. I will do anything in my power to help."
"I'll be next." The black one said. "My name is Annabel. I'm the daughter of the second in command of the old Super Robot who was also a master at the power primate, who has taught me in their ways since I was very young. I believe with my knowledge and abilities I am second in command myself, but that is up to the rest of you."
"I believe you'd do a great job at it Annabel." I said to her. She smiled and nodded.
"I'll go next!" The red one said excitedly. "I'm Rose, daughter of the best pilot and best fighter of the old Super Robot, I have to say that my piloting skills are first rate due to Dad's teachings and my fighting skills are not bad compared to my Mom."
"Well I got good piloting skills too and I think I got more of Mom's fight in me sis." The yellow one said.
"Oh shut up Rovie!" Rose yelled at him.
"Don't call me that Rosie!" He yelled back at her.
"And I told you never to call me that!" She screamed at him. Their eyes both turned to a dark red and I could see the electricity between them in anger. The four of us just sat and watched at the two went at it after Rose lunged at the yellow monkey.
"His name is Rover, the yellow monkey." Annabel explained for me. "He and Rose are twins, both children of the best pilot and the best fighter. Rose is the best pilot and Rover is the best fighter, it's just by chance that the two are so alike their parents that they are good on both skills and fighter each other just as often as their parents fought."
"So I'm only guessing this, but I think they hate their nicknames." I snickered.
"Yes, they do. It's a characteristic from their father, who is named Sprx, and is sometimes called Sparky." Annabel laughed.
"Oh, that gotta hurt!" Olivia said when Rose got her brother strait in the jaw with a right hook.
"Maybe we should move out of the way." Gabriella smiled as she saw Rover grab Rose's tail and swing her around and then let go, causing her to go face first into the wall.
"Annabel, can you get them to stop?" I asked her.
"I can." She answered.
"I thought that you all wanted to hear about me." She nodded and went over to the two of them and broke them apart in mid air and placed them down.
"Rose, Rover, don't fight. If you do then you'll miss out on learning about our leader." The instantly looked away form each other and looked brightly at me. I felt myself get red in face as attention all on me was one this that I wasn't exactly use to.
"Well, umm… my name is Jasmine, and I guess I'm the daughter of your parent's leader and I think your parents said that I was the next chosen one. There isn't really too much to say about myself I guess, but I can say with conviction that I love literature and art, mostly fictional writing and drawing. My parents didn't always believe that it was a good hobby, why I have no idea, but against their wishes I got a laptop and I write down anything that comes to mind, and soon after it becomes a great story, or at least in my mind it does." I told them. "I don't know much about this power primate stuff you keep telling me about but I think I'll eventually know in time." The team nodded.
"I have to say though, we defiantly need to get you some new clothes, I mean look at you right now, you and your clothes are covered in grime!" Rose told me.
Her brother laughter at her remarked. "I pretty sure sis that our leader doesn't wear clothes like this all the time." I looked down to see what they meant. My clothes and my skin were covered in dirt and mud, and my white skirt was no longer white. Twigs and leaves were sticking out of my hair and sap was sticking to my shirt.
"I guess all these things got on me when I swam threw the ocean and ran away from your parents in the Savage Lands." I told them. "I never even noticed until you pointed it out."
Annabel gave me a soft smile. "Well, we still an hour or two before we land, I'll show you to your room and get those clothes of yours washed before we land, then you can get some other clothes to wear while we're there."
"You guys have a shower right?" I asked. They all chuckled before nodded and I followed Annabel out of the command room and down a series of hallways before she led me into a set of circular like rooms in a large room around them. She led me to the last one on the left and inside was a large room with a huge bed, but other then that and what looked to be a bathroom to the side threw another door, the room was bare.
"We decided to leave the room like this so you could design it whatever way you pleased." Annabel told me. "But other then your personality, it had everything else, except clothes, but we'll get those on our stop at Occa. I placed a basket in the bathroom for you to put your clothes in, and when you get in the shower, I'll take them out and get them washed."
"Thanks Annabel." I walked into my bathroom and I stripped the sticky and muddy clothes off my body and into the basket, before I stepped into the shower and felt the warm water run over my body, loosening the muscles in my body as I cleaned it of all the filth the covered it. I heard the door open and I watched threw the curtain as Annabel took my basket of filthy clothes out of the room.
"I put some clothes on the counter, I don't know if you'll like them or not, but they're all we have until we get these other ones washed and some new ones from Occa." I heard Annabel say on the other side of the curtain.
"Ok." I called. As soon as she left, I continued to cleanse my body of the filth that had covered me. A little while later I was cleaner then this amazing bathroom was. I turned off the shower and climbed out and grabbed the towel that was left on the counter for me. I dried off as fast as I could and I looked at the clothes that Annabel left out for me, a pair of dark blue jean shorts and a lavender spaghetti strap shirt. They actually looked a lot more comfortable to me then my other clothes did, plus I loved the fact that there wasn't another skirt, I hated them, but my mother always insisted I wear them. There were no other shoes though then the sandals I had brought, but they were missing too. I hope that Annabel wasn't trying to clean them; she and the others have already done enough by freeing me from the place I used to call home.
After I had gotten dressed I left my bathroom and notice that Rover and Gabriella were both waiting outside, they turned to me as I walked toward them.
"Took you long enough Jasmine, what did you do in there, go scuba diving?" Rover teased. It was then that a loud smack rang threw out the room and I flinch away. Gabriella had hit Rover across the face with the end of her tail, now that has got to hurt.
"There's no need of you to act that way around her. She doesn't need to hear your lame comedian attitude or your horrible jokes." Gabriella told him firmly as he held the side of his face. I could help but laugh, it was funny as much as it was annoying. The two of them looked up at me surprised.
"He can talk to me like that if he wants. I haven't laughed like that or at all in a long time." I chuckled as I calmed myself down.
"Why though? If you don't mind my asking." Gabriella questioned.
"Mmm.. how can I explain this? Think of it in this way. I've had no friends and my family for the past couple years practically didn't even know I existed. To finally have friends of any kind, or even just people to notice you and treat you, even in the most horrible way, it's a way of knowing that someone does know that you exist, rather then as if you're nothing. That's why I say he can say things like that. Not because they're wrong to say, because they really aren't, but even if they were the worst thing possible to call me, I would still except it because it means he knew I was alive and existed in this life." I explained to the best of my abilities. The two of them looked surprised at my answer. "By the way you two, it's not the fact that you can't come here, but why are you in my room?"
Gabriella snapped out of her surprised daze and reached for my hand. "We came here so we could take you down to the training room. We know that you know little about the power within you or what you are capable of, so we thought that we'd see what we can teach you before we get to the next planet, maybe as a way to know that you can protect yourself without one of us always by your side in the future. Since Rover is the best fighter, he and I will be testing how you will deal in certain situations and then work our way from there. That is," She paused. "If you're up for the challenge?"
"Defiantly." I said surly. "When do we start?"
"Right now, come on kid." Rover said. The two of them led me off to another section of the robot; Gabriella still had a firm grip on my hand as they led me into a large white room. The others were there too, all working on something in the room, they all looked up at me when we walked in.
"You seam to be feeling a lot better now." Annabel said form the happy look on my face.
"Yeah, the clothes are perfect, thanks Annabel, and the rest of you too. I do have one request though." I said.
"What is it?" Gabriella asked.
"You guys, don't bother cleaning those other clothes that I had on earlier, I want them to be burned."
"Why?" Olivia asked.
"Because one, I hated those clothes, and two, they connect me with my father and mother, plus he could have them bugged or something, I should probably check my laptop for bugs too. But that's beside the point. If we really left our parents, I want to break off other ties that I may still have with my family. Those clothes are one of those few. My mother loved skirts, so most of the time, whether I liked it or not, I had to wear them too. So I think of this in a way that if I burn what was from before I left home, the more disconnected I'll feel from them, the freer I'll feel, but I wont break the bond because that would ruin the chances to mend everything back to normal or better or at least something better then it has been in due time." I explained.
"I can understand that reasoning." Gabriella said. "And I think the request is reasonable."
"Agreed. Rover, what do you think we should begin with, now moving back to the main objective." Annabel said.
"I think we should start with seeing how she can avoid attacks. We saw a bit of this back in the Savage Lands when Uncle Antauri went for her and ended up face first in a tree. I think that's the best place to start." He said.
"Alright then, we'll start this program at level 1 and if it gets to be too easy for you Jasmine, we'll turn it just a bit at a time." Annabel told me. I nodded and the team walked away from me. After they went into another room, I watched them threw the glass window and watched them work, that was until the window vanished and I was surrounded by jungle.
The jungle itself was quiet large, and it looked to be endless, not at all the size of the smaller room before this jungle came. I slowly moved my way threw the plants around until I heard a snap of a twig in back of me. I quickly reacted and ducked just as a giant ape came out of the wood and swung it fist at me. It really showed me now that I should be thankful for those few years of dance my mother forced me threw. I was more graceful in movement because of it and moved easily out of the way, just as I had with other dancers and bullies who came after me.
But what I really wanted to do was fight back. I wanted to take a punch at what was before me as well. I wanted to see how I would fair against this ape, and I wanted to take out all the loneliness I felt from that I recently came from.
It was then though that the ape came at me again and then even more started to slowly get up out of the jungle, each one attacking after I was able to evade the last, until I was facing over twenty apes at once. Numbers were surly not on my side. I could only evade them for so long, but I need to fight back before I get crushed by these apes. But how to fight them?
I suddenly felt this weird feeling flow threw me; it was the power primate I think, as the others had told me. I felt it moving under my skin, showing me how to defeat the apes and evade their attacks further. It showed me… my father, from the past when he was a child when he was still the leader of the hyper force and how he fought in this training room. I can prove my father wrong now; I can prove to him that I can fend off anything he throws at me.
The ape came at me for another attack but this time, I was waiting for it. Its fist hit the ground and I took this opportunity to jump on its arm and kick the back of his head, hard. I grabbed the vine that was above its head and swung around the others as they tried to reach for me, but sadly couldn't as I passed over head and hit them from behind. I let go of the vine and ran toward one of the last few apes, ready to punch it square in the face. The apes however, gathered together, the last three left and charged at me. There was no way in the position I was in could I defeat them. I kept running toward them and then at the last second I dived legs first under the middle ape and knocked it over. Once I passed them, I brought myself to my feet and moved onto my hands and spun around with my legs kicking the apes out cold. The last ape got to its feet and turned to get me, but I was one step ahead. I stopped my spinning and planted my feet together in the air and pushed up into the air, hitting the ape in the side of its neck and part of its face. It flew back as I landed back on my feet on one knee and foot. I looked around at them all, down for the count before I stood up, breathing heavily, but happy. I couldn't believe how alive it made me feel to fight like that.
I heard clapping on the other end of the jungle. I tried to move toward it, but then the jungle walls I seen disappeared and there I saw the team, running toward me with cries of joy.
"That was awesome!" Olivia and Rose cried. They grinned at each other for speaking as one before running toward and hugging the life out of me.
"That was unbelievable Jasmine. Never in my life have I seen that kind of fighting, and we didn't teach you anything yet, but yet, you have the moves of a true warrior." Rover spoke, completely shocked.
"I don't know if it was really me, I felt the primate threw me, it showed mw my father when he was my age and how he fought off many enemies at once. Then I just copied the moved as place my bottled up emotions behind them and fought as hard as I could to prove that I could- no, that I can prove him wrong that I don't have to be hidden from this life." I said happily.
"Well put Jasmine." Annabel said, placing her hand on my shoulder. It was then that we heard the scanner go off. We all ran to the command center and there we saw upon the screen the planet of Occa coming up quickly.
"Be prepared to land, and welcome to Occa!" Rose called from the controls a head of us. Now we only have to get supplies and stuff for me as fast as we can and then blow this planet before my father can find us.
Witch's Note:
Whoa, who would have thought that the power primate would help Jasmine out like that so she can fight now if she wants? Amazing! Now what's going to happen when the old team chases after the new one? You have to wait for the next chapter to find out! Salut!
Question of the Chapter: What was your favorite episode or episodes from the SRMTHFG?
Answer to the Question: I liked the episodes 'Snowbound' and 'Soul of Evil' because of the fiery temper that we got to see from Nova and then the realization of the love between Sprx and Nova.
