The request for this One-Shot came from one of my greatest reviewers. ANTAURIfan

Otto: I don't get it, what makes her so special?

She's so nice and always reviewing to all of my SRMTHFG stuff...and we both have the same favourite character.

Sprx:Who?

(raises eyebrow) honestly?

Sprx: What?

Gibson: (sigh) Sprx look at their User-Names.

Sprx: So?

Nova: Are you playing stupid to annoy us or did you switch brain with Otto?

Sprx: (smirks) Common, of course I know she's talking about Antauri.

Antuari: (comes in) What is with me?

You are mine and Tauria'S favourite character.

Antauri: And? I know that since long.

Yeah, Sprx just played stupid. However I said I would continue with the hug-stuff, so guess who she wanted to hug her!

Otto: ...no idea.

(stares at Otto) H-Honestly or are you fooling us too?

Otto: (pouts) I really don't know!

Ahw, sorry Otto. She requested a hug from Antauri. Antauri?

Antauri: (BIG HUG FOR ANTAURIfan) And please continue to review like that. It makes EvA very happy.

Oh yes it does...(blushes) and thanks for informing me about the mistake i made with uploading the other chapter.

Nova: Well, none of us belongs to EvA.

Gibson: Read and Review please everyone.

„Sprx you go on patrol with Antauri!"

Swallowing a deep sigh Sprx nodded. Ever since the incident with the Fire of Hate he'd been partnered up with the silver monkey at nearly everything. Only in combat training he was with Nova, since she claimed that right at the team's first combatant. Trying not to show anything, he stiffly walked up to his tube and went down to leave the robot. He waited for a while, then the second in command came out and smiled slightly at him.

"A wonderful day, isn't it Sprx."

Confused Sprx raised an eyebrow and asked: "Antauri we are in war, what should be so wonderful today?"

"The sun is shining, there hasn't been any attack yet…the team is still complete. Many small reasons can make a day bright."

With that Antauri fired his Jet-Pack up and took off. Sighing quietly, Sprx followed him and together they checked everything within the secured sector. Sprx was in his thoughts, so he almost fell from the sky when Antauri started to fly lower and headed for a certain spot. The graveyard. Antauri landed there and walked up to the gate. Confused to no end Sprx followed his second in command, however soon lost him in the maze of tombstones. Nervously the red monkey glanced around. Where could Antauri have disappeared to? So the red monkey strolled through the graveyard in a try to find his second in command. While he did so, his thoughts started to wander around.

Why does Chiro keep pairing me up with Antauri? Doesn't…doesn't he trust me at all anymore. Is that the reason I'm with the most Powerful of us monkeys. Yeah sure, Nova's strong and brave, but Antauri has more experience in…everything. Why do they all keep saying that they've forgiven me when they don't trust me enough to pair me up with anyone else? I…

"You should keep your thoughts under control Sprx."

The red monkey's head shot up. There was the silver monkey. He floated in front of a simple white tombstone; two sentences were carved into it. Sprx came closer and gasped at what he read.

Here rests the Spirit of the Alchemist. May the bright part of his soul rest in peace.

"Antauri what the…"

The silver monkey silenced him by raising a hand. Sprx fell silent, wondering what the second in command was up to. They just waited there for a while.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, Antauri said: "I found this the day after the Night of Fear. At first I wouldn't believe it, but then I asked the keeper of this place and he allowed me to see into his books. It really is a memorial for the man who created us."

"…Antauri why are you telling me this?"

"Look closer at the stone."

"Why?"

The glare he got from Antauri kept him from asking further and he stepped closer. He gasped. In beautiful handwriting, a few more lines stood on the stone.

S-P-R-X-77. You've always been quite a hothead. I want you not to threat my son. Fire can destroy, but also renew.

"W-What is that sentence supposed to mean?"

"I can't tell."

"What?"

"I can't tell Sprx, since I'm not reading the same words as you."

"You lost me now."

Sighing softly Antauri said: "This grave, is like the Alchemist's last wishes for each of us Sprx. I do not know what you're reading, since I'm reading something directed at me."

"What do you read?"

Antauri hesitated, then he whispered: "…Antauri. A heart isn't what makes you alive. It is a sole that does…I'm still quite shocked that the Alchemist seemingly obtained knowledge of our future. It took me a while to understand the meaning of these words. At first I thought it was a riddle, like he liked to do them, however I realised the words mean exactly what they tell."

Sprx was silent for a while. Allowing Antauri's words to sink in.

Then he asked: "Antauri…why did you really bring me here?"

The silver monkey looked at him for a while, then asked back: "Do you really believe we are always partnered up because Chiro doesn't trust you?"

"Well…"

"Sprx, I asked Chiro to do so."

"WHAT?"

Sprx took a step back. Did that mean Antauri didn't trust him? Tears started to escape his eyes and he spun around to run off. However a strong hand caught his wrist and held him back.

"Sprx look at me."

He refused to do so.

"Sprx please."

At this the red monkey froze. When did Antauri ever beg? He'd never heard his brother's voice like this. Slowly he turned around, to have Antauri wiping his tears away.

"S-P-R-X-77. I didn't ask Chiro for this because I didn't trust you. I asked for this because I care about you. I think I understand the best how it feels to have gone through what you've gone through."

"How can you?", asked Sprx back.

Antauri's bright gaze darkened and he whispered: "Sprx you aren't the only one who got overpowered by evil once."

"Yeah well Brainiac got turned into that monster because of Thingy but…"

He broke off when Antauri shook his head and softly said: "My dear brother, I meant to tell you that I wanted to refer to what Mandarin did to me in the night of fear. Gibson has, luckily, no memories of what happened when the Virus infected him, however you and I, we both remember what we did under the influence of Evil. It isn't easy to forgive yourself, especially not when you separate yourself like you are doing it recently. I am here to help you Sprx, that is the reason I asked Chiro to partner us up, so I could watch you and help you."

Tears started to well up in Sprx eyes once again, however not of sadness, but happiness. He slung his arms around Antauri and started to cry against the silver monkey's shoulder. Antauri softly hugged him back and murmured comforting words to him. Sprx smiled in his tears.

Tomorrow, he wouldn't feel guilty as much as usual anymore.

Tomorrow he would be able to truly smile at his team-mates.

And all of it because of a certain silver monkey, who showed him one thing.

The best way to help yourself with guilt, is to talk to someone.

Antauri would always be there for him and Sprx promised to himself, if the silver monkey would ever need help, he would be there.
