Chapter 6
Don't Do It
"Where's Nova?" Chiro asked when the rest of the team woke up later.
Otto bit his lip. He didn't know what to do or say.
"Perhaps she's still asleep. This time is hard for all of us but Nova's suffering the most," said Antauri. "It would be best to leave her at peace for now."
"Antauri's right. But I'll run some tests on her when she's up," said Gibson.
Otto was sweating. He didn't want Nova to die but he didn't want her to beat him up either.
"Otto, are you alright?" It made the green monkey to hear Antauri questioning him. How did he notice so fast?
"Yeah I'm fine," he lied and started shivering with fear.
The silver monkey was examining him closely. "Then why are you shaking?"
Otto didn't reply. His green face was turning red.
The rest of the team suddenly realised that something was wrong, that Otto knew something that they didn't.
"Otto, what's wrong?" Chiro asked.
Now he was really sweating and blushing. "I can't tell or Nova will flatten me."
"Otto, if something happened to Nova then I insist you tell us now. If she asked you not to tell you then it must be serious," Antauri demanded.
They were all looking at him anxiously. He sighed. Being beat up would be bad enough but losing another team member would be even worse.
"Nova's gonna kill herself because she can't live without Sparx!" he blurted out.
The remaining three team members froze.
"Great Scott . . . she wouldn't . . ." Gibson murmured.
Antauri snapped out of it. "There's no time to waste. Gibson, try and find Nova on your tracker and then we'll find her and try to talk her out of it."
The scientist raced off and Chiro and the silver and green simians stayed where they were.
"Otto," said Chiro. "You did the right thing."
He shuddered. "I just hope I haven't left it too late."
Nova flew even faster in search of the highest cliff or building she could find. Sparx had fallen to his death and she was going to do the same thing. Looking up at the fluffy white clouds, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. "I'll see you soon Sparx," she whispered.
After about half an hour, she found the perfect cliff. It was about two thousand feet high. Even higher than the height the Fist Rocket had fallen from. Perfect.
She landed on the edge of the cliff and ripped off her jetpack, getting ready to jump . . .
"NOVA, STOP!"
The yellow monkey looked down when she heard Chiro's voice and was horrified to see her teammates heating towards the cliff.
"You told them?!" she yelled down at Otto.
"I had to. They insisted!" he cried.
"Nova, I understand that you are upset but that is no reason to take your own life!" Antauri shouted up to her. "You're the strongest team member of our team."
She shook her head. "Not any more. I'm sorry guys . . . I can't handle it any more. I'm jumping!"
"Don't do it Nova!" Chiro called up to her. They were about a kilometre and a half away from the cliff.
"Well would you look at this?" Nova turned around to see Mandarin grinning in front of her. She pulled out her giant fists but knew that she couldn't do much with them. A Lady Tomahawk could smash the entire cliff and she'd destroyed her jetpack too . . .
"The warrior of the Hyperforce about to kill herself," he chuckled. "Isn't it sad?"
"What do you want, Mandarin?" Nova snapped.
He just chuckled again and snapped his fingers. Suddenly the rest of the team members were blocked off by some sort of wall made of electricity. Antauri tried to phase through it but it shocked him off.
"Nova, don't do it!" Chiro yelled to her.
"What a great leader he is," sneered Mandarin. "Now Nova, we all have tough decisions to make. Do you want to join your team members?" He pointed at Chiro and the remaining three robot monkeys. "Or the one you love?" and Nova saw that image of Sparx again giving her that warm smile.
She shook her head, trying to get the image out of her head, it seemed so real. "Sparx . . ."
"DON'T DO IT NOVA!"
She froze. Was that her imagination or did Sparx just call out to her. No, it was another one of Mandarin's tricks. The yellow monkey staggered backwards, trying to get the thoughts out of her head.
And her feet slipped off the cliff.
Nova screamed and grabbed onto the cliff with one hand. Mandarin laughed his evil monkey laugh and stepped on her hand. She cringed in pain. She mustn't let go . . .
He was pushing her fingers off. Now three of her fingers were holding on. She tried to grab onto the cliff with her other hand but he slapped it away. Three . . . two . . . one finger . . .
"And one last thing," said Mandarin before leaning in close and he whispered into Nova's ear. "I killed SPRX-77. And now you're next"
Her eyes opened in horror. She already knew it and yet she couldn't believe it.
Her last finger slipped off the cliff.
Nova screamed as she fell; she heard Mandarin screeching with laughter, she heard Chiro wailing out her name and she scrunched up her eyes hoping that the pain would end quickly . . .
But then she was no longer falling but something had grabbed her and carrying her into the air and she heard the rest of the Hyperforce cheering and Mandarin sounded like he was no longer enjoying himself but he was roaring in pain. Nova was so confused and managed to open one eye and couldn't believe what she saw . . .
"Sparx?"
He looked at her and smiled. "Promise me you'll never do that again."
