Chapter Two: Escape

_________________________________________________________________ _______________

(Chiro's Room)

Consumed by his blankets and sheets with the sight of his head on his pillow, Chiro was sleeping peacefully in his bed. Everything seems to be quiet in his room and due to the soundproof installation in his room, everything stayed quiet without interruptions from any one.

Any one except…

'Chiro...'

Chiro stirred a bit and ignored the voice to catch his sleep.

'Chiro, are you awake?'

Chiro groaned from his wake as he turned his head halfway, and opened his left eye to find Antauri's Indian-style spiritual essence looming closely over him.

Instantly, aside from his expression of terror, Chiro's raven hair stood on ends as he yelped in startledness.

Antauri raised both his hands up.

"Calm yourself, Chiro. It is only I, Antauri."

Chiro grimaced with slight anger and spoke.

"Holy Shuggazoom, Antauri! Wh--I thought we had an agreement."

"We do, but this is a matter of urgency, Chiro."

Briefly concerned, Chiro spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"There's no time. You have to leave the room before they find you."

Chiro's anxiety increased upon his desperate statement.

"But-But who--" Chiro stuttered before Antauri intervened.

"Hurry!" He shouted before his essence disappeared from sight.

Chiro didn't have time to take this into thought before he quickly got out the bed in his pajamas. As soon as he stood on the floor, his attention was drawn to the door as pounding noise issued from it.

Dents were created from every strike as Chiro quickly braced his communicator to enter hyper mode.

As soon as his armor was on, he got into fighting stance and was ready for whoever was behind the door.

His determination grew as the door received numerous dents from the pounding.

Then, the pounding suddenly stopped, yet Chiro kept his determination intact.

Suddenly, a single yellow fist that Chiro instantly recognized created a hole in the door. But before he could speak, a second yellow hand entered.

Both hands tore open the hole from left and right, then followed suit with the rest from up and down.

During the process, Chiro took a glimpse of a yellow monkey tearing his door apart.

It was Nova standing in the middle of his half-torn door with the emotionless expression intact.

This time, Chiro took note of the expression and finally had the energy to speak.

"Nova? Wh-What are you doing?"

Silence greeted the MT leader as Nova slowly raised both her big fists with the left one slightly being higher than the other one.

Shock and fear consumed Chiro as he slowly and defenselessly raised both his hands.

"Wai-Wait a minute, Nova. What are you doing? What are you doing, Nova?" He asked desperately, yet he got no response.

In lieu, with a visible evil smirk, Nova leaped up for the attack.

Despite the size of his room, Chiro managed to leap over her while her attack made harsh contact with the floor creating a crater.

Chiro landed to the floor and turned to Nova in anger.

"Goddamnit, Nova! What in Shuggazoom is your problem?!"

As he got no response, Nova turned around and started to slowly approach him while Chiro noticed and started to slowly back away with his defenseless hands raised.

"Nova, I don't want to fight you." He said as she resumed her ominous approach. "Damn it, Nova, this isn't funny!"

Instantly, she leaped again as Chiro yelped in fear and quickly evaded to the left, causing her right big fist to come in contact with the top half of the door, completely getting it off its hinges.

In an opportunistic moment, Chiro made his exit from his room and made a quick dash in the left direction of the corridor while Nova regained herself and gave chase.

During his run, Chiro looked behind him and saw Nova on all four chasing after him. Then, he saw something else that terrified him.

A ghastly evil spirit from within her body.

"H-Holy Shuggazoom." He muttered

Throwing his gaze forward, he resumed his run when he suddenly saw Sprx in his sight.

"Sprx!" He called

He wanted to halt, but then, he saw it again. The terrifying evil essence that he saw inside of Nova was inside of Sprx too.

Then, time virtually slows at what happened next.

Chiro issued a scream of pain as Nova's sharp claw attack came in contact with his back. Shards of his armor clothing were flying during the attack.

As time reverted to normal, Chiro was on his hands and knees, scrunching his face up and gritting his teeth from the pain in his back, which was issued four scar marks where blood was slowly seeping out.

Despite the pain, he looked up and noticed Sprx making his ominous approach towards him as well as Nova, who's literally tasting the blood from her metallic claw, following suit from the opposite side.

Breathing heavily with a hint of anger in his system, Chiro spoke.

"I don't know who the fuck you evil spirits are or whatever the hell you did to my teams. But you're not getting your hands on me."

Quickly standing on his two feet, Chiro went on the attack.

"MONKEY FU!!!"

Thrusting both his arms forward, the greenish attack burst from his hands and sent Sprx hurtling several feet away to the far end of the corridor.

Then, with a javelin-shaped spear appearing in hand, he turned to Nova and attacked.

"CHIRO SPEARO!!!"

At breaking speed, the javelin projectile plunged its way into Nova's forehead, issuing blood from the wound afterwards while the force of the attack got her off her feet.

As she landed on her back motionless with the javelin spear impaled in her forehead, Chiro grew shocked due to not only at what he did, but the harsh impact it did to her.

He wanted to go and help her out, but refrained himself from doing so as a reminder that whatever it was that was inside his two teams were taking control.

Suddenly, he flinched in fright, but calms himself on account of his slightly beeping communicator.

Instantly, he answered.

"Antauri?"

"Chiro, are you okay?"

Panting a bit, Chiro spoke in a fearful frantic.

"Yeah. Antauri, please tell me I'm in a bad dream. I-I just impaled Nova with my javelin attack and monkey fu-ud Sprx off his two feet. Can you please tell me what the hell is going on?!"

"Calm down, Chiro."

Silence, Chiro breathing slowed in a measure of calm.

"I'm okay."

"Good. Now Chiro, did you see them? Did you see what was inside of them?"

During their conversation, Chiro failed to notice Nova's right arm flinching in its wake.

"Yeah, I saw them. How did they get inside the robot?"

As her arm rose in reach of the javelin projectile, Antauri spoke from the communicator.

"I will explain as we meet."

Chiro nodded.

"Okay. Wh--"

He halted upon turning to a horrifying sight. Nova yanked the javelin projectile from her forehead while blood gushed from the wounds. But despite that, her head started slowly and ominously lifting up as Chiro caught first sight of the gape hole in her forehead was slowly leaking onto her face.

Chiro's eyes widened in horror from the very sight, completely unaware that Antauri was constantly calling him from the communicator.

Instantly, Chiro swallowed saliva and answered.

"Wh-What's your location?"

_________________________________________________________________ _______________

As minutes passed, Antauri was awaiting Chiro's arrival while not only keeping watch on Gibson, but also staying on alert of his possessed siblings.

It became difficult for him to process his thoughts on these events taking place due to the fact that he was clueless of these incidents.

He knew that Skeleton King was behind these spirits, but at the same time, he realized that it's not.

Before he could resume his thoughts, he jerked his head to the right side at the sound of an open door. But he relieved himself when he saw Chiro entering the place.

Upon catching sight of his spiritual mentor, Chiro kneeled and quickly embraced Antauri in a hug while the black monkey returned the embrace.

However, during the embrace, Antauri could not only feel the red fluid of Chiro's wound, but could also feel the tears relinquishing from the leader's eyes as the teen constantly sobbed softly.

"Antauri, oh, thanks God you're okay." He said softly while Antauri comfort him.

"It is okay, Chiro. It's okay."

Instantly releasing the embrace, Chiro anxious gaze met with Antauri's before he started.

"Antauri, I saw them. I saw them!"

Antauri nodded.

"I know. I saw them too."

Then, Antauri looked down at his bloodstained hands, then at Chiro in anxiety before he spoke.

"You're wounded."

Chiro sighed deeply.

"I know. Nova did that, but I'll heal, hopefully."

Then, Chiro laid his eyes on the lifeless Gibson inside the tube.

Slowly caressing the tube with his right hand, Chiro's tears resurfaced upon the sight.

"Oh, my God. Wh-What happened to him?"

Silence a bit, Antauri's head lowered in sorrow before speaking.

"It appears that his life-force essence was forcibly extracted from his body, leaving no external damage presence."

With the tears still present on his eyes, Chiro shut his eyes tightly with his teeth clenched.

"How did they get inside the robot without us noticing?"

With his eyes closed, Antauri spoke.

"So far, I have no idea. I've been recently contemplating on these possible incidents and I, at first, came upon Skeleton King."

Chiro almost felt an amount of anger in his blood at the mention of that name, but grew confused by Antauri's comment before his eyes met with his mentor's.

"Wait. Wh-What do you mean 'at first'?" He asked, wiping the dried tears from his eyes.

"I mean…" He started before opening his eyes and meeting Chiro's gaze. "…that it may be Skeleton King, but at the same time, it's not."

Silence, with a brief thought in mind, Chiro spoke.

"Could that be why the alarm didn't go off? Could that be why we couldn't pick up their presence when they got in?"

With a soft sigh, Antauri spoke.

"It's a likely possibility. But right now, we must evacuate the robot."

Instantly, Chiro's eyes widened upon his statement.

"But-But what about Gibson?"

As Chiro awaited an answer, Antauri sent his sorrowful gaze to his lifeless blue brother in the tube before sighing softly.

In notice, Chiro's eyes widened another length upon that indication.

"No. No way, Antauri, we are not leaving him!"

Slowly closing his eyes, he diverted his head forward and away from Chiro's line of sight.

"We have no choice." He said softly. "The spirits have already laid claim to his essence. He is no use to us at this state."

Chiro felt like shedding tears again upon this dreading news. Not only did he have to leave the robot, but he had to leave Gibson as well.

Antauri took note of his expression and spoke.

"Chiro, listen." He started as Chiro gave him his full attention. "If these spirits managed to do this to Gibson, there's no telling what will happen if they managed to get their hands on you."

Antauri issued a reassuring hand to Chiro's right hand and spoke.

"You are more important to this world and to this team. Remember that."

With his lips briefly trembling, Chiro almost felt the tears forcing its way from his eyes.

"But what if they get you?" His broken voice spoke

Silence issued from Antauri, and then he issued a soft smile.

"I am always with you, Chiro. Trust in the Power Primate."

Sniffing up the forceful tears, Chiro regained himself with a slight determined look to his face before issuing a curt nod.

Suddenly, with a slight gasp escaping both their mouths, their attention diverted to the side at the sound of an open door.

_________________________________________________________________ _______________

Sprx, despite the issued burn marks on his red fur and helmet, was slowly and ominously waltzing the hibernation chamber room in search for the recommended prey.

Then, his head jerked to the left side at the sound of a slight noise not far from his position.

As he picked up the pace, he halted when he found, upon close inspection, a hibernation pod with the lifeless Gibson inside and nothing else.

_________________________________________________________________ _______________

Both Chiro and Antauri, who were panting heavily, were on the run in the corridor en route to the main room.

Upon entering the main room, they immediately made their way to the foot cruiser exit way on the left.

However, as they passed the tube lifts, the red lift descended and Sprx exited the tube with his charging left magnet aim directly at Chiro.

Antauri quickly noticed.

"Chiro!"

Antauri shoved Chiro aside before the magnetic projectile was discharged instantly coming in contact with the black monkey.

From his position, Chiro watched in horror while Antauri screamed in pain from the surge of magnetic energy in his body.

As the power surge seized, Antauri dropped to the ground face-first and at the mercy of Sprx-77. Gritting his teeth to endure the rising pain, he spoke, though his voice was strained.

"Chiro, run!"

Chiro started breathing heavily and wanted to help his mentor, but fear seems to seep its way into his very being.

He thought about using his powers, but the results were in vain due to the sight of the partially burned, yet seemingly harmless red monkey.

Suddenly, his fear increased a notch when he noticed Sprx slowly casting a glare in his direction with a malicious smirk on his face.

As Sprx, who kept his glare to the leader, softly muttered words in ritualistic tongue, Chiro took note of his other two possessed teammates exiting the tube lift and making their ominous approach.

Slowly, Chiro started getting to his feet as Nova and Otto approached and halted alongside Sprx with the same glare in their eyes and the evil malicious smirk on their faces towards him.

"Chiro, RUN!" Antauri shouted before activating his ghost claws. "Claw Disrupt--Aah!"

Instantly, Otto stomped his feet to Antauri's wrist to prevent that attack before Sprx braced his metallic left hand upon the black monkey's head.

Antauri issued a straining scream of pain while his very essence was forcibly being ripped from him.

"ANTAURI!!!!" Chiro screamed as tears was quickly relinquished from his eyes upon the sight.

As soon as Sprx was done, his focus was on Chiro, who, while his breathing shivered upon the sight of his motionless mentor, took note of not only the eye focus, but also the burn marks on the red monkey's fur and helmet were slowly healing.

Not wasting time, Chiro made a run for it to the front door while his three possessed teammates slowly and ominously followed.

(Outside - Night)

As Chiro exited the front door of the foot cruiser, he kept his running pace until he was several feet away.

As soon as he was, he halted and turned around while retreating backwards with gaze forward to insure that he wasn't being followed.

Breathing heavily, he saw that no one was behind him.

He let off a breath of relief. Then, a hand touched his left shoulder.

"AAH!!" He screamed in fear, then turned around and saw, to his relief, none other than Jinmay, who grew surprised and concerned by his reactive state.

"Chiro, it's me. Relax."

Unfortunately, Chiro couldn't find himself to relax. Instead, he found himself shedding loads of tears from his eyes.

Jinmay took note of it, but before she could speak, a sobbing Chiro embraced her in a hug.

"Oh, Jinmay."

His voice was soft and broken; yet Jinmay managed to briefly comfort him for a moment.

"Take it easy, Chiro. It's okay." She spoke softly.

From his position, Chiro shook his head.

"No, it's not."

Confusion masked her face before she spoke.

"What do you mean? I don't--"

She halted when she saw over Chiro's shoulder the sight of Sprx, Nova, and Otto exiting the foot cruiser and advancing towards their position.

She smiled at their presence, but was unaware of the unfolding events.

"Chiro, look. The monkey teams are coming."

With a frightening gasp, Chiro instantly released his hold on Jinmay and turned to find his three possessed teammates on the advancement towards them.

Breathing heavily, Chiro started slowly retreating backwards while Jinmay took note of it with confusion and concern.

"Chiro, what's wrong? It's just the monkey team."

Instantly, during his retreat, Chiro grasped her left wrist and dragged her along.

"We gotta go...now." Chiro said, with his terrified gaze towards his teammates.

With the expression still intact, Jinmay spoke.

"Why? What's--"

"Let's go, NOW!!" He shouted as he dashed away with Jinmay in his grasp.

Sprx, Nova, and Otto halted and took note of this before issuing evil smirks on their faces upon a sudden idea.

_________________________________________________________________ _______________

Chiro and Jinmay managed to hide themselves at the wedge of an empty alleyway.

Chiro was leaned up against the left side of a building with his head lowered while Jinmay was leaned up on the opposite side with her gaze to him.

All the while, Jinmay was in confusion and anxiety by Chiro's reaction and wasted little time to speak.

"I don't get it, Chiro. You're really scaring me at some point. What's going on? Why are you running away from your own team?"

As Chiro was in silence for a few seconds, Jinmay heard a soft chuckle issuing from him. But throughout that reaction, he was crying, tears surfacing from his eyes.

Jinmay's anxiety increased upon this reaction as she slowly approach and halted inches towards him. She still couldn't see his eyes due to his lowered head, but could see the tears flowing down both sides of his face.

"Chiro, what--"

"They're gone." He spoke softly with grief-stricken sorrow

The words took her by surprise, yet she grew confused by the statement.

"'Gone'? Who--"

"Gibson...Antauri." He softly spoke.

Then, upon saying those words, he lowered down to a fetal position and started sobbing softly in anguish while Jinmay, who was shocked by the revelation, lowered herself to his position and provided a comforting hug to her grievous friend.
