Me: Welcome to Chapter Sixteen!

Sprx: What's going to happen this time?

Me: Something I've been putting off for a few chapters…

Antauri: Please don't saw it's… him!

Me: I'm sorry Antauri. I have to bring him in. Or I'm, like, skipping the main reason you were created…

Gibson: Don't worry Antauri. We'll destroy him for good this time!

Otto: Yeah, what Gibson said!

Nova: We'll pummel him to a pulp!

Sprx: He has no chance against us!

Antauri: I hope you're right…

Me: It's okay Antauri.

Gibson: Aunna doesn't own SRMTHFG.

Nova: Read and Review!

Chapter Sixteen: Skeleton King and the Silver Monkey

It seemed like another normal day. Sprx and Gibson were bickering, Antauri was meditating, Nova was practicing, Otto was building something, and I was working on some homework. "S-P-A-R-K," I muttered. "Spark!" I quickly wrote down the word and the alarm went off. I quickly put my homework down and ran to the command center.

When I arrived my family were looking at the screen. "What's going on?" I asked.

"Formless," Gibson said.

"What's Formless?" I asked.

Antauri sighed. "Formless are things that are made of goo," Antauri said. "They are mindless beings and only obey there master,"

"Who's their master?" I asked.

Sprx slapped his forehead. "We forget to tell the Kid about old bone bags!" Sprx shouted.

"Old Bone Bags?" I asked.

Nova lowered herself so she was looking me straight in the eyes. "That's what Sprx calls him sweetie," Nova said. "His really name is Skeleton King. He's evil and wants to control Shuggazoom,"

"No way!" I shouted.

"And he's a living skeleton!" Otto shouted.

"Let's go!" I shouted and turned into my hyper form. I was dressed in white and orange, with an orange cap and a orange scarf. (Basically looks he does now, just make him younger with a orange baseball cap on.)

We raced out the robot to protect the citizens of Shuggazoom. They were running and screaming. I noticed a woman had climbed a tree. I gasped.

Flash back…

The world was black and gray. Two voices made loud noises out my crib. I cried and screamed. A woman ran into the room and picked me up. "Hush Chiro," she whispered. "You'll be with your new family soon enough,"

I snapped back into reality. Nova was looking at me worriedly. "I'm fine," I said. "Let's beat those Formless before they hurt someone!" Nova nodded at me and we left.

The center of town was chaos. Citizens were every where, each one being chased by a black and white monster. I couldn't believe my eyes. This couldn't be right. "Criss Cross Doom Thrower!" Otto shouted. Three Formless disappeared.

"Monkey Mind Scream!" Antauri yelled. Five Formless fell.

"Laser Lash!" Gibson yelled. Three Formless fell.

"Magno-blazer!" Sprx shouted. Four Formless were reduced to nothing.

"Flame Fist Fury!" Nova yelled. Four more Formless fell.

I was about to attack when I felt something sharp against my neck. I lifted my hand up and shouted, "Monkey Fu!" I felt something gooey on my back and saw I had destroyed a Formless. I cheered and then screamed.

I was grabbed around the neck and lifted off the ground. My captor looked like a TV. but I knew it was a monster. I gasped when I looked at the screen.

It was a skeleton. His eyes were red and he wore a purple cape. He had on what seemed to be a purple or black jumpsuit and a belt with the initials SK on it. "Skeleton King," I whispered.

"So they have told you about me," the skeleton hissed.

"Leave him alone!" Nova shouted.

"Why should I Dearest Nova," Skeleton King said. The monster tightened his grip on my neck and I screamed even harder.

"Hang on Chiro!" Otto shouted. "Whirling Destructo Saws!" The saws freed me but also cut my as they whizzed by. The monster was about to finish me when Antauri jumped in the way. The laser hit him straight on and he was gone. Just disappeared into thin air. All that was left was his helmet.

"No!" I heard Nova shout. "Boom Boom Wake Up!" Nova blasted TV Monster away and I ran from them. Antauri was gone! I need some time to myself. Chiro! I heard a voice shout.

Antauri? I asked.

Please find me, Antauri begged. I'm alive but in another body. I can't activate it. Please save me… I saw the hole underneath the dumpster where I hid when Antauri or Nova would send me away from a battle. I learned earlier in the week that's where the monkeys had been created. Well, some of their parts any way. And it would led to the lab where they were truly created. I crawled into the hole and went down.

I heard the others calling for me but I could turn back. The ladder was broken and the wall was too smooth to climb. I sighed and continued into the dark.

I was scared. What if Mandarin was down here? What if I got lost and I starved to death? I pulled out the flashlight I took with me everywhere and turned it on. The darkness was replaced with light and I let out a sigh of relief.

I walked in that tunnel for hours wondering about Antauri's other body. Would he still be a black monkey with yellowish green eyes? Would he turn red or some other color? I quit pondering and looked above me when I reached the dead end. There was a piece of wood and I pushed it. It came up with no resistance and I gasped when I went through it.

I was in a lab. On a table lay a monkey. A silver monkey with deep blue eyes. Antauri? I asked.

Help me… I heard Antauri whisper. I ran up to the lab equipment and pulled a switch that said power. Electricity attacked the silver body but it couldn't charge him.

I ran up to the body and began to cry. Antauri was gone, my hours of wandering useless. I had failed Antauri!

I continued to cry and one of my tears hit the silver monkey's face. The silver monkey then began to glow and I stopped sobbing to watch.

The body was glowing green and white. Little particles surrounded it till there was so many that the silver monkey no longer could be seen. The light grew brighter and I shielded my eyes. I felt a wave of power hit me and I screamed.

The light must have existed for about five minutes. Then it faded away. I looked up. The silver monkey was sitting up now, looking everywhere for something. It's eyes fell upon me. "Chiro!" it shouted.

"Antauri." I mumbled and tried to get up. But legs crumbled beneath me. I heard metal pounding against metal and Antauri's face came into view. He kissed me on the head and lifted me up. I was crying again.

"Thank you," Antauri whispered.

"You're welcome," I whispered back.

"We'll stay the night here," Antauri said. "Then we'll return home," Antauri laid me down on a little cot and put I blanket over my sore body. "Sleep Chiro," Antauri whispered. "I'll be here in the morning,"

I let myself fall asleep. I wasn't scared anymore. Antauri was back and would protect me from the monsters of the lab. And I knew he wasn't going to disappear. He wasn't going to leave me to die. My faith in the world had once again been restored. "Good night Tauri," I muttered.

"Good night Chi," Antauri said.
