Chapter 5

I woke up groggily the next morning. The bed was so warm and comfy, that I almost wished that I could miss the appointment with the Monkey Team. Almost. I looked up from the comfy pillow and checked the clock that was on a drawer next to the bed.

8:34 AM. I still had at least an hour and thirty minutes. 'I wonder what we're having for breakfast.' I sighed and slowly got out of bed. I made a bee line to the bathroom that was connected to the room and took a shower. The warm water eased the tension in my muscles. Taking a shower was probably one of the few things that made me feel safe without a care in the world. After the shower I put on my clothes and went to the kitchen where Meaniel was cooking breakfast.

"Hey, what's on the menu for breakfast today?" I asked quickly noticing that my stomach was getting noisy.

"Some eggs, bacon and ham. Go get a plate and sit down Chiro. I can hear your stomach for miles."

"…"

I sat down and waited for breakfast. 'What will Antauri ask me to do today? What if I fail?' The realization that I could fail had just hit me now. Meaniel seemed to have noticed how deep my concentration was.

"Don't sweat it Chiro. You'll do just fine. You're just getting yourself nervous. Calm down and take deep refreshing breaths." He walked up next to me with my breakfast in the pan and shoved it all onto my plate.

"You're right. I shouldn't panic about anything."

The second I stopped talking to him, I started to guzzle down all my food. The eggs were a bit burnt though. I'll complain to him later.

At the Super Robot

I stared up at the robot as I walked up to the entrance. Being tall did change the way you looked at things a bit. I looked forward and outside the robot's entrance stood the entire team, all waiting to see if I could pass their tests. I stopped in front of them and waited for them to tell me what I needed to do.

"Welcome. Are you ready to do your tests?"

"Antauri, I was born ready."

"Let's get started then. Gibson will ask you a few questions."

Gibson started to walk forward until he came straight in front of me. I sat down. It would be easier to talk with him if I was at eye level.

"Ok, answer these questions to the best of your ability. Most likely only the real Chiro would know the answers." Gibson stated as a matter-of-factly. "Question 1, where are the positions of the team when using the Super Robot in battle?"

"Antauri is the head, Gibson and Sprx are the fists, Otto and Nova are the feet, and Chiro is the Torso Tank."

"…Correct. Question 2, who is the Skeleton King?"

"The Skeleton King was once the good Alchemist who created the entire Super Robot Monkey Team. After having been attacked by the evil in a portal that was in his lab, he had slowly transformed in the Skeleton King. He eventually connected with the worm that had resided in the Pit and started to corrupt many planets."

"……….yes, correct. Question 3, which one of us had almost been taken over by evil?"

"Sprx. The Soul of Evil corrupted him and almost made him kill Nova. After that the Skeleton King was resurrected again using 3 items of evil. He also disintegrated Velina." I would never forget how he had mercilessly killed one of his most trustworthy servants without hesitation.

"Where did Chiro go after the Skeleton King had connected with the worm?"

Gibson was getting nervous. He couldn't see how it was possible for me to change so quickly if I was Chiro, and it was also because I was answering his questions and adding some other information that I knew from those moments. I answered quickly to the question he had just poised.

"Chiro had changed into a primitive state and ran towards the Bad Lands. There he went through a cave and entered a dense jungle. He went through it until he reached the Alchemist's lab. Almost after being attacked by some formless in the lab, he shared some of his Power Primate with the body of the Silver monkey, thus returning Antauri from his death. Soon afterwards, the entire team had to rescue Jinmay from Velina's clutches."

The entire team looked shocked. Not only did I answer all the questions correctly, I practically gave them the entire outline of what had actually happened.

"Do any of you doubt me now?" I asked tentatively. Maybe if I was lucky they'd let me skip the rest of the tests.

Nova, Sprx, and Otto ran up to me and knocked me over on the ground. 'Good. At least they believe me.'

"Chiro! What happened to you?!" Sprx asked loudly, while Nova and Otto were completely content hugging me knowing that I was ok and that the way I looked right now was not a trick.

"I tell you once we're all inside the Super Robot. I think Meaniel might want to listen to this also, so I'd better go get him."

I got up and started to walk, but Nova ran over to me.

"We aren't letting you out of our sight for a while Chiro." She said it jokingly and hustled next to me as I started to walk away again.

We had barely gone a few steps when a huge explosion went off close by. We ran to the sight of the explosion without a second thought. It felt like the older days again. It had been a while since something like this has happened. When we finally came to the area of the explosion we saw two different groups against each other. One group was mainly colored in blue and red, having multiple piercings, and had various weapons in their arms. They ranged from guns to hatchets and knives. The opposing side was different. They were calmer, almost as if they were taking their time, but they too had many weapons. These people dressed differently from the continuous reds and blues of the other side. They didn't have a set color. Some were in tuxes while others had on rainbows of different colors and shades. Others were also simple, only wearing a shirt and some jeans. They too had piercings, (Not as much as the other side though). But one thing that connected them all was the tattoo that each of them had underneath their eyes or on their faces. It was a small wave like line with another line half its size underneath it. The last lines were dots that were half the size of the second line.

The leaders could be seen easily from the groups. The red head belonged to the red and blue group. He had a sword with several markings that looked like the sun. His outfit was a red and blue kimono and he looked like he was blow up because his veins were popping up. The other leader was cool and collected; he seemed to be mocking the other. He had a long and slender body, but he still held the look of someone who was strong and hard working. His eyes were a sharp silver color and he was almost deathly pale. A complete contrast to the clothes he was wearing and his hair. His hair was a deep indigo that could have easily been mistaken for black. On the left side of his head, his hair was moved upwards into a smooth and concrete zigzagged finish, while the right side of his hair moved downward at an angle from the back to the front. His clothes would fit perfectly into the renaissance era. It seemed to be black, but when the sun hit the right way it could be seen as a dark blue like his hair. It had some lightly frilled material on his chest and it closed down after that. Its sides went all the way down to the side of his feet. He had on some fitted pants that matched the shirt. They were a little wrinkled. He had on the largest tattoo on his face compared to his followers. On his forehead, a shining silver tattoo resembling the moon had several ribbons of lines and seals on it.

This was a confrontation between the Tsuki organization and the Hare gang.

Just so you guys know Tsuki is Japanese for moon and Hare is Japanese for sunny I believe.
