Chapter 6

As Long As We're Together

"Hey, are you alright? You've been quiet for a while now," said Sparx, trying to keep up with the yellow monkey.

"I'm fine. I'm just . . . are you sure about this?" she asked.

"Look, a promise is a promise. If this is really scaring you then I'm not letting it haunt you again," Sparx replied before stepping forward and giving her a kiss on the cheek. He was uncertain himself but was keen not to show it. "Now c'mon. The sooner we get this done, the sooner it'll be over and the sooner we can find the others."

The Super Robot was hovering over the Dark One Worm. Sparx leapt out of the robot and landed on the Worm's back. "C'mon!" he called up to Nova. "It's alright!"

She hesitated for a moment before jumping after him. For a moment she used her jetpack to hover above the Worm, too nervous to actually land on it.

Sparx took a hold of her hand and held it tight. "It's not as bad as it seems. Believe me, it's better walking around on this bug barefoot than having the walk in those old Spacewalker boots." He paused for a second. "Hang on, what was the point of those things anyway?"

Nova giggled a little before finally stepping on the Worm's back. It made her jump to feel how warm and soft it was. "This feels surprisingly . . . nice."

"See it ain't that bad, is it? Now let's see ya muster up some courage to take down the bonehead," Sparx chuckled. And with that he began to scamper ahead. Nova ran after him, suddenly feeling rather brave.

Both of them were rather surprised when there was no sign of the head when they reached the top. "That's weird," muttered Sparx, "I'm pretty sure his head is around here somewhere."

"Maybe this isn't his head," said Nova. She paused for a second, realising what she had just said. "Wait, if his head isn't up here then that mean it's-"

The two monkeys turned around. Sparx had led them the wrong way.

"Oops! My bad." The red monkey turned even redder when Nova gave him a dirty look.

"Come on! We've got no time to waste!" she shouted, running up the right way.

Sparx beamed. "That's the spirit!" he cheered as he ran after her.

It didn't take them long to reach the Skeleton King Worm's head. The monster's head was facing away from them which was good.

"We could do a sneak attack on them," Nova whispered to Sparx.

"Yeah, that's a good idea. You should stun 'em while I destroy his head," Sparx whispered back. "Nice to see your courage flowing again," he added with a smile.

"Thanks," said Nova, giving her boyfriend a warm look before pulling out her giant yellow fists. She sneaked up to the head, ready to perform a Lady Tomahawk- and suddenly the head turned around, wrapped himself around her and threw her to the Worm's back. The throw was strong and she landed hard on her head.

"NOVA!" Sparx yelled, immediately pulling out his magnets. "Magna Tingler Blast!"

The Skeleton King Worm Head shot a beam out of his mouth and the two of them started fighting with their power. Both of them had equal amount of strength and neither showed signs of giving up- until the Head suddenly struck Nova with his beam, sending her tumbling backwards. Sparx turned around in shock- and he did the same thing too but not as strong. The red monkey wasn't thrown back so much and ran up to the yellow one. "You okay?"

She tried to get up but the pain was too much. "I . . . think so?"

"Just hang in there. I'll getcha back to the robot."

But before either of them could move, they were thrown back by a sudden wind- the Worm was flying forwards at full speed. The two monkeys clung onto its back for dear life and Nova had a bad feeling she knew what was coming next . . .

She saw the beam shooting out of the Worm's mouth . . .

She saw the colours of the wormhole heading their way and felt the force beginning to pull and held on as tight as she could.

She was fighting the force! Nova was actually fighting the strength of the wormhole and couldn't believe that she'd been worried all this time, shown such weakness. Her joy made her cling onto the Worm's back tighter . . . a little too tight.

SLIP!

Nova screamed as her feet gave way and she felt herself being dragged away. Next thing, she felt Sparx's hand grab onto her arm and trying to pull her up, but the opposing force was too strong . . .

"Sparx, I'm slipping!" The yellow monkey was beginning to panic.

"Just stay calm! I've gotcha!" he shouted.

She was quite helpless now. With Sparx holding onto her arm and the force pulling at her as hard as it could, Nova felt that she couldn't move. She felt her arm slip through Sparx's and he now her by the wrist. "SPARX! Don't let me go!"

"Don't panic!" he grunted.

But there was no stopping Nova from freaking out now. Her hand continued to slip through Sparx's. He was trying to keep a grip of her three fingers.

"Sparx!" she wailed.

"Listen!" he yelled at her. "Whatever happens, I am not going to lose ya, you've got that?"

"But I'm slipping!"

He gave her that look again, the serious stare deep into her eyes. "I know that. But remember my promise. If you fall then I'm coming after ya."

Nova was speechless and looked as if she were going to cry again. "Sparx . . ."

Her fingers slipped through his hand.

The yellow monkey screamed again, as she felt herself falling off the Worm and into the wormhole . . .

But she felt something wrap itself around her and hold onto her like a baby.

"I told you I'd come for ya," Sparx smiled, despite the danger they were in. "You alright?"

Nova nodded. "I do now. As long as we're together that's all that matters."

YES YES YES YES YEEEESSSSSS! GOTTA LOVE THE SPOVA FLUFF!

But what's gonna happen to them now? You'll just have to wait and see. Please review!
