I know what you're thinking. No Gibson, no Otto and no Jinmay for a long time. Nasty, I know. Well that's EXACTLY how I felt when there was no Nova for the rest of "Wormhole"! Okay, BRING ON CHAPTER 3, BABAY! Sorry, I'm on a sugar rush- like I said I have a sweet tooth

Chapter 3

Lost

Sparx picked Nova up in his arms and began to carry her towards the Super Robot. Although the yellow monkey was still in some sort of shock, she allowed it to happen and even let go of Sparx's hand.

"We must all get inside," ordered Antuari as Sparx carried Nova towards the med bay. Chiro was looking longingly at the wall of the Pit of Doom where the doomhole had formed. He was still feeling guilty about losing Jinmay.

"NOW!" the silver monkey shouted.

Chiro snapped out of it and reluctantly followed his teammates into the robot. As soon as he was inside, he immediately turned around for one last glance and the door shut on him.

So he headed to the med bay where he saw Sparx and Antuari trying to comfort Nova. She was shivering with fear and every now and again she let out a cry. The only thing that was keeping her calm was Sparx's hand which held onto hers. Antuari was trying to access her mind directly but Nova wouldn't let him.

"Calm down Nova. I'm only trying to do what is best," the silver simian tried to reassure her but she still refused.

It looked like the three of them were pretty distracted. Chiro decided to take the Brain Scrambler to look for Jinmay, Otto and Gibson . . .

"Chiro, wait! We need you to stay here," said Antuari. "Where are you going anyway?"

"Back out there to look for Jinmay and the others," said Chiro.

"Wait, what? You can't do that!" said Sparx.

Chiro stood his ground. "They would've done it for us! Why can't we do it for them?"

There was an awkward silence.

"Because . . . we don't want to lose another team member," Antuari said finally. "If you wish to look for your companions then Sparx will come with you."

The red simian didn't respond. For some reason he was staring into nowhere.

"Sparx!" Antuari snapped.

Sparx snapped out of it and blurted out. "Ye- yeah I will- wait, what were we doing again?"

"You and Chiro shall search for Otto, Gibson and Jinmay."

Sparx nodded then noticed that Nova was clinging onto his hand even tighter. "Wait, what about-"

"I'll take care of her," Antuari interrupted.

"You sure about this?" Sparx asked him, slowly letting go of Nova's hand.

"Do not worry about us. Doubt will only slow your progress," the silver monkey replied wisely. "It'll be alright."

"Fine. But you had better take good care of her," Sparx warned his teammate as he and Chiro headed off towards their tubes. "I mean it," he added as both of them shot up.

Antuari watched them both disappear then noticed that Nova was beginning to squirm with fear and ran to comfort her. "Keep calm, Nova. You have nothing to panic about."

Meanwhile Sparx and Chiro both launched off in First Rocket 3 and Brain Scrambler Pilot 2. Chiro wasn't saying anything but he was breathing very hard.

'Man, this must be pretty tough for the kid right now,' Sparx thought to himself. 'I know how he feels. It's tough when you're trying to find the one you love and no one understands.'

Meanwhile in the Super Robot, Antuari was having a tough time with Nova because she had gone into some sort of panic attack.
"Where are they?" she wailed. "What happened to them? TELL ME ANTUARI!"

"Nova I can guarantee you that Chiro and Sparx are alright. They are simply looking for our fellow team members." Antuari hoped that the yellow monkey wouldn't notice the worry in his voice.

"But what if a doomhole appears? What if they get sucked in and are gone FOREVER?" she cried.

"Nova, I highly doubt that a doomhole will-"

FLASH!

"Take cover Nova!" Antuari shouted as the doomhole from the ceiling began to pull at the two monkeys. Nova screamed and dove under the med table where the pull couldn't drag her. Antuari wasn't so lucky. He managed to grab onto one of the legs of the med table but it wasn't a good grip and he realised that he was slipping. Nova clung onto the leg next to him and watched in horror as Antuari held on for dear life.

"Nova, DO something!"

But she was too frightened to move. Antuari let out a grunt and his fingers slipped. He was dragged and spun around for a few seconds before he disappeared into the doomhole which flashed into nothing as well, leaving Nova on her own.

BWAAAAAAHHHHH I'M SO MEAN! Poor Antuari.
