Chapter Twenty: Formless Again?

I stuck my tongue out as I scribbled furiously on the paper. Tomorrow was Fathers Day and I didn't want to fail Daddy. He had done so much for me in the past eight years and I wanted this Fathers Day to be better then the last.

I shivered at the memory of last Fathers Day. I had tried to cook dinner with Otto and Otto fell asleep at the stove. Instead of dinner I caught a kitchen towel on fire. I couldn't stop the fire so I got Otto away from the oven and watched the flames grow closer and closer. I screamed as loud as I could.

Antauri had rushed into the fire and saved us. I felt so bad and apologized for the rest of the week. Antauri had tried to explain to me that the fire wasn't my fault, that it was a honest mistake on Otto's part, but I wouldn't listen. We had almost died that night and it was all my fault.

This year was going to be different. I was making Daddy a card this year and Otto was helping me make a metal sculpture for him.

The alarm blared and I screamed. I had no idea what was happening so I went into Hyperform and ran into Command Center.

The monkeys were standing there waiting. "What's going on?" I asked.

"Formless," Gibson said. Antauri growled and so did Nova. Mommy and Daddy weren't liking this information. Not at all.

"Monkeys Mobilize!" I shouted. They nodded and we ran to save our home.

We spilt up when we saw that there were six small groups of Formless. I gulped as I ran to the park. Was I really ready to take on Formless by myself?

I heard a scream and snapped out of my ponderings. There were about ten Formless surrounding a little boy I knew as Oskar.

"Monkey Fu!" I shouted and blasted away five Formless. The remaining five turned their attention to me and began to close in on me. I stood my ground.

"Lightning Kick!" I shouted and destroyed Two Formless. Four more took their place. I gasped and got my 'determined' face on. "Thunder Punch!" I shouted. Three Formless disappeared to be replaced with six more.

I was officially scared. There were ten Formless again and they just reappeared each time I destroyed them! Worse they doubled!

A Formless scratched my shoulder and I screamed. "Monkey Fu!" I shouted again. Three disappeared and didn't return.

I shouted with joy. I destroyed the rest of them with Monkey Fu and then collapsed to the ground. I forgot how much energy a simple Monkey Fu needed. Then was frightened by the fact I couldn't move and the Monkey Team was nowhere to be found.

I looked up and screamed. TV Monster towered above me, a cage in his claws. He reached down to pick me up and I screamed even harder.

Feeling returned to my legs and I kicked TV Monster as hard as I could. I wouldn't be taken prisoner that easily!

TV Monster began to stand and I ran for my life. I couldn't beat him by myself. I could barely beat the Formless, how could I defeat a evil thing like that?

I hid under a dumpster and activated my communicator. "Help!" I shouted.

"Chiro!" Nova replied. "What's wrong?"

"Boy," I heard Skelton King say. "I know you're near. You cannot hide forever. When I find you I'll make sure your death is swift and painless,"

"I'm on my way," Nova whispered. She hung up and I tried to stay hidden. No such luck.

TV Monster lifted the dumpster and I looked Skeleton King straight into the eyes. Skeleton King laughed and I screamed. I jumped up and ran. TV Monster jumped into my path. I tried to turn around and only faced Formless.

"Relax boy," Skeleton King sneered. "It'll be quick and painless just like I promised," TV Monster activated a ray gun and I prepared to die, tears stinging my eyes. I would never give Antauri my Fathers Day present. I would never fly with Sprx again. I would never snuggle with Nova as she read me a story. I would never play video games with Otto again. I would never help Gibson with his science experiments. Never again would I be a child. I would just be a pile of burned human.

"Lady Tomahawk!"

"Claw Disrupter!"

TV Monster fell and the Formless disappeared. Nova and Antauri took their place. I shouted and jumped for joy. I turned to run to Nova when I felt a sharp object on my neck. I looked up and saw Mandarin. He had his sword back and I screamed as I felt blood starting to drip down my neck.

"Leave him alone!" Nova shouted.

"Why should I?" Mandarin said as he pushed the sword deeper into my neck, causing an even heavier stream of blood. "He'll be in a much better place,"

I felt something wrap around my ankle and looked down the best I could. Antauri had phased through the ground and was going to phase me with him!

I saw myself slip out of Mandarin's arms and wrap up in Antauri's. He went into Nova's direction and phased through the ground again. We were right next to Nova, Mandarin giving us a confused and scared look.

"Knuckle Duster!" Nova shouted. Mandarin went flying into outer space.

My vision began to swarm with colors and I groaned. Antauri held me tighter and I passed out.

I groaned as I woke up. I was no longer in the streets. I was in Med. Bay with Gibson hovering over me like a mother hawk protecting her young.

"Gibson," I muttered.

"Hush Chiro," Gibson muttered. "You lost a lot of blood out there and you need to rest,"

"Antauri's card," I whispered. "It's on my bed. Could you get it for me?"

Gibson smiled and left the room. Antauri walked in a moment later. I smiled at him and he held my hand. I was so glad to have a father like him.

Gibson walked in with the card. I smiled even harder and handed it to Antauri. "Happy Fathers Day Daddy," I said.

Antauri smiled and opened the card. Inside was a picture of Antauri and me meditating. Antauri hugged me and I hugged him back. "Thank you Chiro," Antauri whispered.

"No problem Dad," I muttered. I yawned and Antauri covered me in blankets. Gibson just stood there and waited for Antauri to finish.

"Good night Chiro," Antauri said.

"Good night Daddy," I whispered back. My eyes fluttered shut and I fell asleep with Antauri holding my hand.
