Dawn of a New Era
Chapter26: Facing My Father
Jasmine's Point of View:
Shuggazoom was in our sights as my team and I stood in our command center, my mother on her own robot with her team, probably doing the same thing as us. I never thought that I would miss the sight of my planet of birth. If anyone had told me a long time ago that I would be heading back to Shuggazoom with my team and my mother's, I would have kicked their buts.
It looked no different then when I left it, other then the fact that we were no moving toward it rather then moving away from it. The pink surface of the planet, the white top where the city was located, the blue water that surrounded the city, I can't believe that I once hated this place.
We set our robots down in the city. It seams when the town's people saw two robots, they were surprised, but they still cheered for their heroes. We excited our robots, and I heard the crowds become silent as I stepped out, the girl who wasn't supposed to know.
"Citizens of Shuggazoom!" My mother called out to the city. "I know that in the passed we have told you that our daughter was not to know of the passed of our history and not become part of this life, but we were wrong. But that is not the worst." She paused. "My husband, the first chosen one, Chiro, had been corrupted by the Skeleton Queen." There were large gasps and whispers around. "If anyone of you sees him, report to us the sighting at once. We need to know where he is and bring him back from that witch's control. Also, my daughter Jasmine is no longer need to be hidden from the past, you no longer have to hide anything from her. She is the second chosen one and she is going to help us defeat the evil forces of the Skeleton Queen once and for all." The crow cheered before it dispersed back to what they normally did.
It was then though that I saw three flashes of color fly by me and head toward my mother's team. I almost attacked, but then I saw that it was the mothers of Gabriella, Olivia and Annabel; Snowy, Tiffany and Violet. They hugged their husbands and then rushed to greet their daughters.
"Oh I missed you Gabby!" Snowy cried as held on to Gabriela tightly.
"I hoped you behaved while you were gone." Tiffany asked Olivia, who gave her mother a large grin in return.
"I knew you'd be alright, but don't run off again with out us knowing." Violet told Annabel. Annabel just nodded in her mother's embrace.
"It's nice, isn't it?" My mother said, pulling me back into her arms.
"It is." I replied to her. "I don't think we've ever been this close before now."
"And it will be even better when we save your father." I nodded and leaned into my back into her. "For now though, I think its best if we settle down for the moment and conserve our energy for training and be prepared to face Chiro when he comes. Skeleton Queen won't come until after he does, to try to end you by your father's hands, so that none of us will have the will to fight." I nodded and followed my mother into her Super Robot, where apparently our two teams had slipped away to.
Third Person Point of View (On the Citadel of Bone):
The cold hearted orange monkey with red eyes paced endlessly in her Mistress' thrown chamber. She hated waiting, and she was waiting on a human, her most hated species. She growled as she looked toward the entrance of the room, and still, the man had not come.
"Calm yourself Mandy." Her Mistress seethed as she sat upon her dark and gloomy thrown. "He will be here soon, have patience my dear."
"Forgive me Mistress, but I have little patience for any kind of human, even those who have become a zealot in your favor." Mandy slipped on her gloves, her weapon that her father had given her before his death. They were a sword and a shield, just as her father, Mandarin had often used. It was perfect to use on the people who killed him.
"Keep them deactivated Mandy; I don't want you destroying my fortress after that girl did. Enough damage was made to me in over a century." It was then that foot steps echoed off the floor and the man stepped forth, he was concealed by a robe that covered his head and face. "Ah so you finally show yourself my minion. Are you ready for the task that I've asked of you?"
"I am Mistress." The man said, letting his hood drop to the floor, reviling his messy black hair and his blue eyes that were no longer the bright blue they once were, now a foggy blue grayish color. He was no longer then man he once was. "What are your orders?"
"The orders are simple, but the task is difficult. You must end the second chosen one, be sure of the kill, and then report back to me." Mandy huffed.
"That is, if you can take on your own daughter." The man growled and at a blindingly fast speed, pinned down the female monkey and pulled a knife to her throat. She chocked as he pressed down harder against her neck.
"Do no doubt me simian, for I can kill you if given the right moment, but I will not go against my Mistress' orders and spare your life." He pulled back and she gasped for breath, scrambling away from him. "Your hatred is not strong like Mandarin's was; you will never be as powerful as he was." Her eyes lit up a blood red and she leapt for him, but was stopped midair and the man was frozen in place.
"Enough." The queen barked. "I will not have fighting in my chamber, Chrio, do as I have told you and Mandy, control yourself." She let Mandy fall to the ground and forced Chrio out of the chamber. She sighed and placed a hand to her forehead, holding it in pain.
"Mistress, are you alright?" Mandy asked as she got to her feet.
"I don't believe I'll be able to control Chiro much longer." She muttered, sighing in defeat.
Jasmine's Point of View:
It was getting close to dusk now and we still hadn't seen any sign of my father. Mom said though that it could be a long time before we even get word of him. But I had this feeling, a feeling threw the power primate, one that was telling me that he was closer then we though. I was looking threw the side windows, looking down onto the city below; its quiet traffic humming threw the armor of our robot.
"You seam distracted." I lifted my eyes and looked next to me, seeing Annabel floating next to me with her father behind her, deep in his meditation. "What is on your mind?"
"My father." I turned back to the window, just to see the first light sprinkle from the sky before the down pour came. Annabel placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Do not worry Jasmine." Antauri said, opening his eyes to look at me. "I have a good feeling that we will see him soon, and he will return to us."
"How can you know that?"
"Because the power primate tells me so, the Skeleton Queen is losing her hold on him. This means we may have a good chance to bring him back. Have faith chosen one." I nodded to him, but my eyes couldn't help but trail back to the window, looking outside once again.
"Hey kid!" My head snapped up to Rover's call. "Why don't you come do a few rounds with me and my Mom to take your mind off of things?" I took another look outside of the window before I got up and went to follow Rover and Nova out of the room.
It was then though that we heard the alarm go off and we all turned to the screen. A man, covered in a green pull over was down at the bottom of the robot, pounding at the entrance.
"Open up!" We heard him shout threw the outside cameras. "I saw Chiro!"
"Let that man in right now!" My mother and I shouted. Olivia and her father ran over to the computer and hurried to open the door. The man ran inside and we had Rose and Sprx run after him, to make sure he got here.
When they brought him up, he was out of breath, practically collapsing when he stopped to rest. The team helped him into a bubble chair and Olivia handed him some water. He drank it all and gasped a few times before he could work up the energy to speak to us.
"Chiro was around the clubs." He got out first before he took another few breaths. "He picked me out of all the people there to come and tell you he wanted a fight, one on one with Jasmine, to then end."
"Did he mention a place, or anything we should know?" My mother asked. He nodded.
"He said he'd be waiting for her by the water's edge by the bridge, and that he wanted her to come alone or not at all. It's the only way he'll fight her."
"Jasmine, you can't go off on your own though, this is a trap." My mother pleaded.
"I know Mom, but what other choice do we have to get Dad back?" She went quiet. "I'll go Mom, follow his terms. I'll be fine, and when I get Dad back, I'll give you all a call." My mother looked at me in a new way then she had before, she looked at me as if she would never see me again. I hugged her tightly before I left. Midnight ran to my feet, meowing for me to take her with me. I shook my head and Gabriella picked her up in her arms. "I'll be back soon." With that, I left.

It took me only a few minutes before I reached the destination my father told me to be at to fight him. The water calmly brushed against the shore as I walked down onto the sand. It was pitch black out; my feet were stubbed multiple times from me eyes not noticing where I was walking.
I came to a stop when I saw a single lightened area of sand, where a man stood and waited in the center. A black robe concealed the man's face and body. I walked toward him, and stood in the center of the light with him.
"So you came." He growled. He pulled down his hood to revile the face of my father, his eyes no longer bright as they had been, now a dark gray and blue color.
I rolled my eyes. "Are you here to talk or fight?" He sped at me with lightning speed, but little did he know, I was now bound with the power of lightning. Faster then he could see it, I moved out of his way and struck the back of his neck, slightly hoping to knock him out. He stood up and growled and shot a 'Dark Chiro Spearo' at me.
No longer made of lightning and now dark energy the spear was, I had no choice but to attack back at him with a lighting spear of my own. They clashed and the clouds above began to rumble. I shot a beam of lightning energy at him, and he was only able to dodge by an inch. He then blasted a dark energy beam at me and I defended myself with a shield of lightning. I needed to bring back the old side of my father, which meant I needed to use attacks that would break him of his spell, power primate attacks.
He raced up at me in my moment of though and swung his fist at me. I fell backward as I felt it rip open my skin. I felt the warm blood slide down the side of my face and forehead before I raced toward him with my attack. At blinding speed, I shot a 'Monkey Fu at him, frying his arm and forcing him to screen. While he was down I fired at him again. This time, he was hit by the pure energy and was raised into the sky.
"Fight it Dad! Don't let her take control again! You've been her slave for years and now its time we end it, fight it Dad, we need you!" My words echoed threw out the night and I watched my father in the air, glowing between dark and light energies. Soon though, the energy changed to only light green and he feel from the sky into the tide. I raced in after him and fished out his body, dragging him to shore. He regained his consciousness and blinked his eyes a few times before he looked up at me.
"Jasmine?" He questioned, I nodded.
"Is it really you Dad?" He tried to sit up, he was only able to with my help.
"I think so." He whispered. "I can't believe the way I treated you during all these years. All the lies, all the tricks, and all the fighting."
"How did you lose to her anyway?"
"I was weak, I let my training slip away from me, I ignored it, and because of that, I was unprotected when she attacked the inside of my mind years ago."
"The good part is that your back, that's all that matters to me Dad." He smiled, and I saw his bright blue eyes look into my own, they were finally the same. "I'm going to call the others to help get you home. Sit tight okay?"
"Alright Jazz, and thank you." He whispered and I called the others to our spot.
