Kai groaned before she woke up. "Chiro?" She asked as she slowly got up. She looked around and she couldn't see the black hair or orange scarf of her brother. "CHIRO!"
She held her head in her hands when she was hit by a headache. She closed her eyes and a series of visions flashed through her head, too fast for her to understand or to see but they left behind the feelings of sorrow and anger. "What happened? Why can't I find Chiro?!"
She was close to pulling her hair out. "The last thing that I remember was Master Zan betraying Father and returning to Shuggazoom! Why can't I remember anything after that?!"
Kai removed her hands from her head to see that nothing had changed, she couldn't find Chiro.
"So..." She turned around to see herself with a set of comm receptors with a silver robot monkey tail there. "Do you wanna try again?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Her copy smiled. "What you see is what you're gonna get!"
Kai stared at her copy as her vision blurred.
She gasped as she woke up in her bed with the dying echo of a song in her ears.
"August 15th at 12:30 noon I don't see a cloud above.
The sun is shining down, what a pretty day.
So sick of this summer heat I can't beat away the haze,
the rays are giving way
And spending all of my time having conversations sitting next to you.
"Hey but I, don't really like the summertime."
And as you were petting on that cat you said such a daring thing
right from under your breath.
Ah, and as that cat had ran away
You tried to chase it in the end,
Jumping right out in front of a
traffic light that poured a shade of red bright red."
"Kai?"
She turned around to see Chiro. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It was a bad dream. How close are we to Shuggazoom?"
"We're almost there."
Kai was having a feeling of deju vi while she listened to the tale of the Dark Ones, she knew that she had heard it before but she couldn't remember when.
"Are you sure that you're alright?" Chiro asked as they headed for the lifts for their stations. "And if it makes you feel better, you can be my co-driver in Torso Tank One..."
"I'm fine Chiro but I'll take you up on that offer." Kai looked at her hands. "I just have a bad feeling about this."
Chiro grabbed her hands. "We'll be fine. We'll make it through this. I know that we can."
"I hope that you're right about that Chi..."
The pain in her gut grew stronger when a group of formless broke into the robot after a missile strike had caused it to fall, she and Chiro had sneaked into the Neuton Generator Room and Chiro pressed a series of buttons that would cause the Generator to overload and explode.
"Hey!" Chiro yelled when the Formless picked up their Father Figure. "It's us that you want. Come on!"
They dropped him as they marched into the Generator Room, following the twins as they ran towards the Generator.
The beeping grew louder and faster as Chiro pressed the button that closed and locked the doors and just before it blew, the twins dashed for the nearest vent, with Kai going through first.
She didn't even notice that Chiro had not followed her until the shockwave from the explosion knocked her out of the vent.
"CHIRO!" Kai yelled when she realized that he had been blown up with the Formless, she looked over to see her copy smirking at her.
She took a deep breath and she smelled burnt human flesh mixed in with burned ooze and she couldn't take it.
She woke up in that strange place again but it had changed, because right in front of her was a clockface that had been smashed with the hands frozen in certain places.
"I told you." Her copy said. "What you see is what you're gonna get!"
"Crashing in and breaking you to bits
That truck heard a scream a little bit too late.
Blood dripping everywhere and choking your smell of hair
I breathe in a gulp of air and just cant take it.
Are these lies? The heat is mocking me
"What you see is exactly what you're gonna get!"
And with the blue of sky I hear singing crickets cry and
fall right back into another dark sleep."
Kai woke up again, in her bed and she checked the time on her clock, it was the same time that it had been when she woke up for the first time after she had seen that room. The events that followed after she woke up where the same but she changed it when she grabbed onto Chiro's hand before she dashed for the vent.
The twins placed the monkeys into their lifts with the protective screens that had turned them in stasis pods. Kai removed her sliver scarf and she tied it around their Father Figure's left wrist while Chiro armed himself with his jetpack and one of Otto's saws.
Kai strapped on her jetpack and the twins headed for the skies after they saw their goodbyes.
"Chiro. I'm getting the feeling that we've done this before." Kai told her brother as they headed for the Citadel of Bone at the Pit of Doom.
"You worry too much Kai." Chiro told her.
"I do not." Kai told him before she looked away from him.
"You- KAI! Look out!"
She felt herself being pushed out of the way, sending her spiraling through the sky for a few seconds but when she managed to stop that, she almost threw up from what she saw.
Chiro, with a large segment of bone that could only come from the Citadel of Bone, going right through his stomach.
"Chiro!" Kai yelled as he fell, she dove downwards to catch him but before her vision left her again, she thought that she saw a dark smile on his face.
"Sitting up in my bed I could hear ticking clocks, the shock
will mock my ever ringing head.
I look to see the time.
August 14th at 12 something noon, I don't see a cloud above
The sun is shining down.
"Hey but I…I really have to wonder why..."
Because in the dream I had last night we sat in the
same old park we are sitting at now.
"Hey, I think the two of us should leave."
But stepping slightly off the path, their heads turned-up towards sky and were gaping pointing struggling to keep away a scream."
Kai gasped as she woke up again, she knew what was going on, they were trapped in a time loop that reset every time that her brother died.
"I bet that you wish that this was a dream." Her copy told her as another clock stopped. "But it's not a dream..."
"Stabbing holes and splitting you in two,
the beam made seam as it fell straight from the sky.
Ringing an old wind chime and shaking a passerby then filling the air until they hit those park trees.
Are these lies? The heat is mocking me
"Bet you wish you were asleep, but it's not a dream!"
Vision it blurred away and keeping my thoughts at bay I swear you stood there while keeping such a dark smile."
Kai woke up in her bed again, repeating the circle of events again, pulling Chiro with her as they escaped the Generator Room and pulling him out of the way before the bone shard hit him.
But she couldn't stop Mandarin.
"Endlessly I see that over heated haze
And again the laughing will repeat on through the days.
You've been dying for the past ten years."
"You've been doing this for the past ten years." Her copy told her. "And you're getting nowhere."
Kai was surrounded by frozen clocks, there was a few of them that still worked, ticking away before they stopped and each one was for a different death.
"No. With each reset, I get closer." Kai told her before she placed her hand on a clock that was still working before she disappeared.
"But with each try, you get closer to the truth, can you do what needs to be done?"
"We are trapped in cycles and the end is never clear.
But a story is a story all the same
And today, like any, has an ending so to say,
Far away and out beyond that scorching summer day."
Kai closed her eyes, with a sad smile on her face before a green flame surrounded her, she floated away from the team, her brother and her father, towards the edge of the walkway that they were standing on.
She heard cries from both of them, her father and her brother.
"NO!"
She fell backwards, into the Egg of the Dark One, smiling as she sank into it's depths.
And she let go.
"Crashing in and hitting me instead you,
I pushed you aside to nearly dodge a truck.
Blood dripping everywhere and choking my smell of hair
You breathe in a gulp of air and just cant take it.
Are these lies? I haven't heard him say...
"What you see is exactly what your gonna get."
Maybe this summer day has finally gone away
But that's all I'll say so this is where it ends now!"
Kai gasped as she saw a copy of Chiro with a set of comm receptors with a black robot monkey tail and a sliver copy of their Father Figure with tears in their eyes, reaching out to her as she fell towards the Dark One's Egg.
"No..."
"August 14th and sitting alone on a bed a girl awakes repeating just the same,
Muttering again.
"Guess I failed again.." as she sat all alone
and held a cat still cradled in her arms."
And on the Super Robot, in two different rooms, a boy and a monkey woke up, the boy broke down into tears, clutching onto a pillow while the monkey looked at a sliver piece of cloth in his hands.
"I failed..." He buried his face into the cloth and he cried.
And in a room covered in clock faces with sliver streaks of paint on them, a monkey and a boy smashed their hands into two more, leaving streaks of black and orange paint behind.
