Sorry something just messed up with editing very stressful. Anyway on with the story. I DO NOT OWN SUPER ROBOT MONKEY TEAM HYPERFORCE GO!
It was a very long day for the Hyper Force. Gibson was putting fiber of his being into making Sparx's medicine, he had to. For he knew that the life of his friend was in his hands. He and Nova were working on Sparx's medicine all day. His heart beat was so slow they constantly had to watch the heart monitor to check if he was still alive. Nova stared at Sparx as she became lost in her troubled mind she couldn't find a pace in his breathing, it looked like there was serious pain on every breath
"Nova"
"Hmm?"
"I um... I need that tray of vials you're holding." Nova looked down and remembered that Gibson asked her to look for some chemicals for the antibody.
"Oh yeah sorry I was just-"
"I know" Gibson nodded as Nova handed him the test tubes
"Are you almost done?" she asked
"Yes these last few chemicals should be just what his system needs"
"What exactly is that infection doing to him?" she asked turning to the sleeping pilot
Gibson signed "Unfortunately, a blood infection is most likely the worst kind. His blood gives the majority of his body the ability to function." he sadly explained while mixing the concoction
"So?"
"So the infection has gained access to many of his vital organs"
"Wait, we're half robot, shouldn't we be immune to sickness?"
"You answered your own question. As cyborgs we are merely half robot, so we still have burdens of an organic body."
"That means there's even less to infect and less to fight off illness" Nova realized out loud
"Precisely" he yawned "but I believe this concoction just might be what I need to save his life."
"Well what are you waiting for?" she said anxiously "Let's give it to him"
Gibson poured the liquid into a needling sealed it shut.
"Alright, keep your fingers crossed. I have absolutely no way to test this before I give it to him."
"Just try it, what choice do we have?" she encouraged him. Once again out of nowhere Sparx went into a coughing fit in his sleep. He moaned in pain and was fighting the urge to throw up. Nova removed his oxygen mask and gave him some cold water
"Nova, would you mind holding his arm out for me to give him the shot?" Gibson asked. Nova. She just nodded, gently took hold of Sparx's arm and pulled out to be straight. Then Gibson slowly injected him with the home made medicine. Sparx hissed in minor pain but relaxed when Nova pet him on the head
"Just a pinch, Sparx, that's all. You're gonna be alright now, right Gibson?"
"Nova, he can't hear you, but yes he should be healed by that medicine. Sadly we shall have to wait until morning to learn if it worked."
"Even if it didn't, we can just try to make another one right?"
Gibson said nothing and bit his lips. Nova gulped when Otto came in with a worried expression.
"How's Sparx?" he asked hastily "
We just injected him with an antidote, we won't know of its affects until morning." Gibson answered the green mechanic
"Ah don't worry, Gibson. You're great at being a doctor. Sparx will be fine tomorrow, I know he'll be."
"I admire your optimism, Otto. However, I had no way to test my concoction before I gave it to him there are no promises with this scenario."
"Don't say that!" Nova shouted making the two flinch. "He's not gonna... that. I'm .. uh we're gonna take care of him all night if we have to!" Gibson and Otto didn't know how to react. they're weren't surprised at the yellow female's brass passion but at the same time they were startled for an unexplainable reason
"Umm.. well I made dinner for everyone. You two must be hungry."
"Why thank you, Otto. I'm sorry to have kept you and the others waiting for so long. Speaking of which, where are Chiro and Antauri?"
"They're in Antauri's room. I think they've been trying to wait this out by meditating."
"I don't blame them" Gibson yawned and rubbed his eyes "I'll be join you in a while. There's still work I his to accomplish."
"No way Smarty Pants. You've been working way too hard all day. I understand that it's for Sparx, but if you don't take a brake you can't put your all into helping him. Come on, let's get you something to eat." Otto said gesturing him to the door. Gibson signed and looked back at Sparx. he then heard his stomach
"You're right, I'm getting too tired to think and too hungry apparently. I'll join you immediately"
"Yay!" Otto noticed Nova staring at Sparx again. "You've been kinda quiet, Nova. Do you wanna eat something too?
"I had a bag of chips a little over an hour ago, I'll just stay with Sparx." she signed sitting on a chair next to the feverish monkey
"But-"
"Leave her, Otto. She can tell us if there's a problem with him while I take a brake" Otto signed and left with Gibson. Nova pulled her knees to her chest and embraced the silence. She put the wet rag on the sleeping pilot's head and stroked his head with a caring hand. Unaware that this woke him up because he wasn't facing her.
"Hey Sparx" Nova said quietly. "I know you can't hear me, but I don't care. Gibson just gave you some medicine, but for some reason I'm still scared for your life and all day I couldn't figure out why." Sparx wanted to talk but his throat was in too much pain to say anything
"But just a few minutes ago, I realizes why we treat each other the way we do. Well, I know why I do it, I don't know if you feel the same way. It's deeper than just teasing and smart mouth remarks, that stuff is just a blanket that I've been hiding my emotions under." Nova started to tear up. "but I may have been keeping that sheet on too long. The funny thing is I didn't even know I was hiding anything at all until now" her tears began to flow, yet she still had no idea that Sparx was awake but he was just letting her speak on
"Now it might be too late to tell you how I feel. I'm sorry I waited so long but I was afraid of how it would affect as a whole. (Sob) The Monkey Team need you Sparx. The Super Robot needs its right fist rocket, Chiro needs his brotherly role model, and I..I" she sniffed and rubbed her bubblegum eyes. She wanted to stop but she had to keep going, she couldn't stop now. "I need the charm, wit, voice, eyes and passion of the monkey I fell in love with!" Nova broke down silently after saying those words from her heart. Suddenly the heart monitor went insanely rapid. Nova gasped and ran to get Gibson
"Gibson!, Gibson! Something's happening in the med-bay!"
Gibson jumped from his seat, ignoring his spilled drink "I'm coming Nova! I need you to get a bottle of liquid medicine from my room, it'll help him calm down!" she nodded and ran on four legs to the blue simian's room. The others followed Gibson into the med-bay only to find Sparx on the floor trying to stand up.
"Sparx, what are you doing!?" Chiro said urgently
"Where... where is she?" he said painfully while grabbing the bed trying to get to his feet. Otto and Antauri tried to get him back in bed but he was struggling in their grips to get to the door.
"Do you mean Nova?" Otto asked while holding him down
"Why do you her so urgently, my friend?" asked Antauri
"Yeah, the four of us are right here to care of you, too." Otto said
"No!" Sparx shouted with a weak hoarse breath. "I (cough, cough.) need to talk to her!"
"Don't shout, Sparx. You're lungs are struggling enough as it is" Gibson said gently
"She's coming, Sparx" Chiro told him but what's going on?"
"She...she needs t-to know something" he said panting "I-I.. I heard-"
"You heard what, Sparx?" Nova asked standing in the door with medicine bottle
"Nova!" Sparx squirmed his way out out of Otto and Antauri's grip and hit the floor hard. Nova put down the bottle down and ran to Sparx. She gently pulled him up by shoulders and sat him up on his Sparx looked her in the eyes
"Nova (cough) I..I heard everything you just said" Nova froze in both her blood and circuits. She turned so red she looked she looked as sick as Sparx
"What is he talking about, Nova?" Antauri asked speaking for everyone, but she wasn't listening. All she could do was cry
"You.. you weren't supossed to..." Nova was stopped by Sparx nearly fainting
"I'm sorry I was too tired to stop you." he said rubbing his eyes
"Then you know why I didn't say anything before" she looked down shamefully
"N-Nova..look at me. Y...you were the reason I was crying earlier. I wanted to tell you word for word everything you said me (sob) and I..I was horrified I would never be able to confess but you stole my words (cough) and my breath from me." he nuzzled his nose against hers but she was still frozen.
"I'm gonna heal for the team a-and I'm especially gonna heal for you. Thank you for giving me a reason.. to ..keep...going." Sparx passed out again. Nova was too paralyzed to hold him up so gibson caught him and put him back into bed. Then the room fell into awkward silence.
" Um.. what just happened?" Chiro whispered to the black monkey
"I believe the certain 'bond' we were talking about earlier has finally been released" he whispered back to him. Otto waved a hand in front of Nova face but she showed absolutely no reaction.
"Um guys, Nova won't move" Otto broke the silence nervously. Antauri walked up to her and felt her heartbeat, it was more rapid than Sparx's was all day.
"I believe she is merely in shock, Otto." Antauri replied
"Yeah all of this is just happening way too fast." said Chiro who looked boggled by all of this himself
Gibson cleared his throat "Nova's shock shouldn't be anything too harmful. She just needs some rest to sooth her panicked mind" he said while placing a spare blanket over her. "Come on Nova, let's get you to bed." he helped Nova get on her feet. Her legs were really shaking and Gibson had to take very slow steps with her.
"So how long is she gonna be like this?" Chiro asked Gibson as the others were walking with him and Nova.
"She should be fine in the morning, she just to let all of.. that sink in." he answered
"Great" said Otto "that's when Sparx'll get better"
"Right, Otto" said Gibson "for Nova's sake."
"Gibson, based on the energy that Sparx showed trying to get to Nova, it's clear your antidote is have some sort of affect" Antauri reassured
Gibson went wide eyed in realization as he laid Nova in her bed "Great Scotts, why didn't I think of that? Good point, Antauri. However it's also apparent that he is still feeble. We are still going to have wait until morning to learn of its full results."
"Well then, I guess all we can do for now is go to bed." said Chiro shrugging his shoulder
"I'll stay up with Sparx in the med-bay" Otto volunteered. everyone just nodded, said good night and walked to their rooms. Otto went downstairs, and set himself up a little spot to sleep next to Sparx. He saw his teddy bear under the bed. He smiled, picked it up, put it back under Sparx's arm and went to sleep on the floor.
So that was Chapter 3 I took so long I was at camp and I tried to write it there so this may not be my best effort and sorry if the Spova is too sappy. Also sorry if Nova's confession was a little contrived but I thought it would be sweet. Anyway read review and tell me if you enjoyed and tell me if everyone's in character.
