Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! Fan Fiction ❯ The Rising ❯ A Premonitory Slaughter ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter Six: A Premonitory Slaughter

_________________________________________________________________ _______________

In the dark of the night, Sprx and Otto, who appears partially burned on their fur and helmet upon an earlier confrontation, were slowly standing on their two feet at the same time they were feeling briefly weakened from the attack.

 

By that indication, it was apparent that they both crave a soul feast.

 

As they turned around, they both took note of many other citizens in the area tending to their own business.

 

Both possessed monkeys issued toothy grins of hunger at the vulnerable sights, but before they could advance towards the area, shining bright headlights briefly blinded them and caught their attention.

 

As they gazed forward passed the lights, they took note of two hovering police vehicles several feet away.

 

As four officers exited from their vehicles, they took note of the monkeys while murmuring amongst each other in question on the issue of them being in this part of the city in the middle of the dark night.

 

But during that ordeal, Sprx and Otto, whose gazes were to the four officers, issued the toothy evil grin on their faces with identical thoughts in mind. It appears their dinner has arrived.

Meanwhile, Chiro, Nova, Jinmay, and Johan were seated on the floor at the right side against the box shelf in an assembled line, while BT and Glenn were still unconscious on the ground from the event. The group was in a wave of silence due to the aftermath of a horrifying spell casting scenery.

 

Many questions were left unanswered at this point, but neither one of them didn't fret on that issue as of yet.

Although the A/C duct was shut off, the group felt slightly cold in the room, but they managed to momentarily keep themselves warm at the time.

 

Nova, who momentarily seized her cries while unexpectedly healing from the burn marks, was in pure silence after experiencing the terrifying repression. Mentally, she wanted to forget these events, but suddenly couldn't bring herself to do so. It was like a curse placed upon her for eternity at some point until it was lifted. Seeing her bodily form doing horrible things to others was something that was very difficult to forget at this point.

 

After a while of silence, Nova spoke without meeting anyone's gaze.

 

"I saw them."

 

Then, everyone's attention diverted to her, yet she avoided her friend's gazes and resumed.

 

"It...It was like I was there at some point. F-First, I saw something take control of my body, and then..."

 

She hesitantly halted and swallowed a bit of saliva before speaking.

 

"...I saw...Antauri getting his soul sucked from his body."

 

Then, her eyes slowly lowered in shame as she resumed.

 

"And I just stood there and watched while it happened."

 

Chiro shook his head.

 

"Nova, you had no control over--" He started to say before he was abruptly interrupted by Nova, whose expression was a mixture of anger and shame.

 

"I watched it happened and I just fuckin' stood there without fighting back for my own body. And on top of everything else, I ripped a soul from a teenaged girl's body and did likewise with a policeman. I even--"

 

She stopped as she remembered the incident between her and her leader. Upon that image, her eyes slowly widened in shock before she diverted the gaze to Chiro.

 

"I even attacked you and..." She almost felt nauseated upon the next piece of memory she received; yet she held it back before slowly surveying her right metal hand.

 

As she unleashed her sharp claws, she gasped in horror upon seeing the blood of her leader stained onto her claws.

 

With the horrified expression intact, she retracted her claws and slowly covered her mouth with both hands.

 

"Oh, my God, I even tasted your blood like a sadistic rabid primate."

 

Before she could resume, Chiro, with his concern intact, halted her from that attempt and spoke.

 

"Like I said, you had no control over what you did."

 

Then, he placed a reassuring hand on her right shoulder and spoke.

 

"Don't worry, you're gonna be alright."

 

Silence and slowly removing her hands from her mouth, she managed a soft smile, and then felt an unusual sting in her forehead. Then, she remembered another piece of incident that happened and issued a gaze of surprise towards Chiro, who took note of it with a hint of shame on his face.

 

"Did you--"

 

"Yeah, I kinda plunged my javelin attack in your--"

 

He stopped and indicates it to her by means of body language as Nova grew silence and slowly issued a smile upon an instant reminder.

 

"Well, it's like you said, I wasn't in control. Thanks." She said as Chiro issued a loving smile.

 

Then, his sudden, yet slow questionable gaze went to Johan, who took note of it.

 

"What was that headache she had?" He asked while Jinmay and Nova drew attention to him with the same question in mind.

 

Johan shook his head.

 

"It wasn't a headache. The spell you read in the book was not only something to give your friend temporal control, but to issue repression to the mind as well."

 

Chiro nodded in both comprehension and anticipation.

 

"So it gives back lost memories of recent events that took place around here."

 

Johan nodded.

 

"Yeah."

 

Then, to Chiro and Jinmay's notice, Nova grew slightly alerted from Johan's early comment before speaking.

 

"Wait. Wh-What do you mean 'Temporal Control?'"

 

"As far as everyone else is concerned here, that evil spirit still rest inside of you. And at a certain amount of time, it will struggle its way back for control."

 

Then, he reached into his pocket and took out the syringe as Nova took note of it with slight fear and discomfort.

 

"Luckily, I have this for that kind of emergency."

 

"Whoa, wh-what's with the needle?"

 

"Relax. It's something that could keep you in control of your body until we can find an extraction spell." He said, yet Nova still grew uncomfortable with the idea as Johan unleashed a cap from the small needlepoint. "The stuff is highly strong, so I'm giving you half a dosage. It's also liable to kill you if you took the whole thing."

 

Silence, Nova swallowed a bit of saliva in nervousness.

 

"No kidding. What happens after injection?"

 

After slightly unleashing the substance from the syringe, Johan used the back of his middle finger and slightly tapped the needle to get rid of the droplets before gazing Nova.

 

"Well, after the injection, you'll experience an addiction for this stuff which is why I'm going to keep this from you at all times to avoid an overdose."

 

With her nervous uncomfortability still intact, Nova issued a slight nod.

 

"Good plan. How long is this supposed to keep the spirit down?"

 

"Three hours, if not less."

 

Nova issued a slight nod in response before Johan spoke.

 

"Alright. Chiro?"

 

Chiro nodded in response as he rubbed a small wet paper towel onto Nova's furry midsection in a circular motion.

 

Then, he used a long rubber strap around her waist in a tight grip as Nova, who grew slightly confused by this, could feel the blood in her veins halting due to the tightness of the strap.

 

"This is a little tight." Nova spoke.

 

"The blood has to halt its circulation for the procedure to work." Johan explained. "Now, get ready."

 

Nova braced herself as Johan veered closer to her with the needle. Then, the yellow monkey slightly cringed in pain as the needle was inserted into her. The pain rosed a bit as the needle dug a little deeper, and then it was gone as the substance was injected into her system.

 

Then, as Johan carefully released the needle from her midsection, Nova, who closed her eyes, moaned slightly in relief as she felt the effect of the substance inside of her.

 

Releasing the strap from her waist, Chiro took note of it with concern.

 

"You okay?"

 

"Ohh, my God, yes." She said before slightly opening her eyes to Chiro, who issued a slight smile.

 

Nova returned the gesture and spoke.

 

"I've...I've never felt anything like this before. It's kinda like...It's kinda like..."

 

"Sex?" Chiro intervened with the smile intact, but lost the smile as he took note of the surprise expressions from Jinmay and Johan upon the comment. "Sorry."

 

As Johan placed the small cap back onto the needle, he pocketed the half-dosage syringe in his pocket as Nova, who's still effected by the substance, slowly closed her eyes and spoke.

 

"Mmm, no, you're right. Oh, God, it does feel that way." Nova spoke while leaning back against the shelf with a soft moan of relief.

 

Johan issued a smile and spoke.

 

"Yeah, but don't get too worked up. That might be the addiction talking, so have some resistance before you start begging for more of this stuff, alright?"

 

Moaning softly in esctasy from the substance, Nova nodded in response.

 

Sighing, Johan spoke.

 

"Now with that out of the way, there's a lot of questions that needs to be answered."

 

Jinmay sighed in relief.

 

"Finally. Chiro, you can start by telling us why you think they were after you."

 

Jinmay, Johan, and an aroused, yet drugged up Nova gazed upon Chiro, who grew silence a bit and spoke.

 

"Well, before Antauri was tagged, he said that there was no telling what will happen if they had gotten their hands on me."

 

Upon careful thought, Johan spoke.

 

"So they want your essence."

 

"Not just that. The essence of the Power Primate as well."

 

Instantly, Nova, her arousing state leaving her at that moment, sat up in shock upon that revelation.

 

"What?! Why?"

 

Silence, Chiro slowly sent his gaze to Johan, who took note of it and awaited the question.

 

"Joe, is there anything in the book that talks about this 'Rising' that you said those killers were talking about thirty years ago?"

 

Silence, Johan grabbed the purse and took out the book before rummaging through the pages. After a while, he found, to his shock, what he was looking for.

 

Jinmay, Chiro, and Nova took note of this in concern.

 

"Joe?" Chiro called before Johan gave them his full alerted attention before speaking.

 

"Take a look at this."

 

As Johan lowered the book for the group's observation of the texts, Chiro, Jinmay, and Nova caught sight of an inscripted black symbol invisibly seen in the middle of the book.

 

Upon close observation, Nova spoke.

 

"Wait a minute. That symbol, I saw it on a woman's face in one of my repressed memories."

 

Then, as she gazed Johan, her questionable expression switched to anger.

 

"That woman that I saw in my memory, is that the bitch that's still inside of me?"

 

Johan nodded his head in response as Nova scrunched up her face in anger upon the knowledge that the evil spirit inside of her was responsible for hurting others. She was even forced to hurt Chiro in the process and that was unacceptable.

 

"Well, I'm not gonna let this evil spirit hurt anyone again."

 

Then, with her rising anger intact, she stood up to her two feet and shouted at the ceiling as if the evil spirit was mounting from above her head.

 

Chiro, Johan, and Jinmay took note of this.

 

"You hear that, you murderous bitch?!" She shouted with venomous anger.

 

"Nova..." Chiro responded in an effort to calm her, but she grew unresponsive.

 

"I will not let you take control of me or hurt any of my friends. And you know why? Because I will stop you. You fuckin' hear me?! I will stop you!"

 

Gingerly, Jinmay pulled her down while keeping her as calm as possible before Chiro diverted his gaze to Johan, who noticed and drew his attention back to the book.

 

"What does the book say?" Chiro asked while Jinmay and Nova diverted their attention to him.

 

"It says here that 'The Rising' has reference to the dead. According to this, the talisman that was found in the graveyard is some kind of key. The transference spell was used to trap souls inside like a cage." He explained as Chiro, Jinmay, and Nova issued surprised gazes to him as Johan resumed. "It also says here that if enough souls were gathered, the Rising will commence."

 

Everyone, minus BT and Glenn, grew shocked from the revelation.

 

However, Chiro diverted his shocked gaze upon a sudden anticipation before Jinmay noticed with concern.

 

"Chiro, what's wrong?" She asked

 

Silence.

 

"Joe said that the Rising would commence when enough souls are gathered."

 

"But what does that--" Jinmay started before Chiro intervened.

 

"They want the Power Primate so they could harness it into that talisman. And once that's done..."

 

"...The Massacre Trio will return." Johan finished as Chiro, Jinmay, and Nova grew in silent shock upon the revelation.

 

"So...So what do we do?" Jinmay asked

 

Johan closed the book.

 

"According to the rest of the texts, if the talisman is destroyed, the Rising will stop and the souls will render to their original owners."

 

"So we destroy this talisman, we could not only stop the Rising but free everybody's soul including Antauri and Gibson's?" Chiro asked

 

Johan nodded in response.

 

As Chiro issued a relieving smile, Nova issued a shocked gaze to her leader upon the early comment.

 

"Gibson?!" She exclaimed as Chiro gazed her. "What happened to him?"

 

Silence, Chiro, whose smile vanished upon her question, briefly diverted his gaze from her as Nova, with her expression intact, took note of this before approaching him and forcing his gaze to meet her anxious eyes.

 

"Chiro, look at me. What happened to him?"

 

Silence, Chiro slightly swallowed saliva and spoke.

 

"Nova, he's..."

 

But he couldn't bring himself to say it as Nova's shocked gaze increased upon anticipation of his silence.

 

"Oh, God, they..."

 

She halted as Chiro closed his eyes in sorrow. Nova was almost in tears upon that indication, but struggled to hold it back before diverting her gaze from him with silence occupying her mouth.

 

"I want to see him." She eventually spoke in a soft tone.

 

Silence a bit, Chiro opened his eyes and mentally came to a decision.

_________________________________________________________________ _______________

Minutes have passed as the group waltzed into Shuggazoom's mid-city towards the direction of the Super Robot.

 

Throughout the minutes, they've managed to lower their profile in order to avoid detection from the remaining two possessed monkeys.

 

Also, Johan related to BT and Glenn, whom momentarily grew frightened at the sight of Nova, on what has transpired in the storage room and throughout during their incapacitation. Although the two were reluctant in wanting to hear the story upon what they have witnessed, they mentally took the information into account as long as the golden warrior was temporarily in control.

 

As the group resumed their advancement, they all took a sudden halt and gasped in horror at the sight that they saw.

 

About two-dozen bodies were seen on the ground lifeless and unmoving. Not a single citizen drained of their blood.

 

"My God." Johan softly spoke while the entire group remained speechless.

 

Suddenly, to Chiro and the other's notice, Nova issued a frightening gasp upon a sight she was seeing from her own two pink eyes.

 

"Nova, what's wrong?" Chiro asked, yet he got no response from her.

 

Nova's body and breath was shivering in fear for the two-dozen bodies that lie dormant on the ground were bloodied onto the streets. She could see the crimson blood of the innocents tainting the streets and she could see, to her horrifying shock, their body parts dismembered and scattered in various direction.

 

The very sight of this gruesome image nearly got her nauseated with disgust and fright before she flinched and gazed upon Chiro, who had his hand on her left shoulder with a gaze of anxiety on his face.

 

Johan and Jinmay issued the same reaction upon notice while BT and Glenn kept their distance from her in alert.

 

"What's wrong?" Chiro eventually asked

 

Trying to no avail to keep her breathing under control, Nova spoke.

 

"Did you see them?"

 

Chiro shook his head in confusion from the comment.

 

"See what? What are you--?"

 

As soon as Chiro gazed forward in the direction she was looking, his reaction briefly mirrored Nova's as he caught sight of the horrifying image in front of the group.

 

But as soon as he released his hold on Nova's left shoulder, the gruesome image has quickly vanished and was replaced with only the lifeless, yet harmless bodies.

 

Easing his breathing, Chiro blinked his eyes twice to insure that he wasn't seeing things. When he saw that the bodies were lifeless and seemingly harmless, he diverted his gaze away from the sight in confusion as Jinmay noticed and spoke.

 

"Chiro, what is it?"

 

Silence.

 

"Joe, was part of that spell includes foreseeing the future?"

 

Silence, Johan slowly widened his eyes upon the question before speaking.

 

"As a matter of fact, yes. Why, what did you see?"

 

Silence, Chiro shook his head.

 

"Nova saw it. I just got caught in the middle of it. And as for your question, let's just say that the blood of these dormant bodies tainted the streets red."

 

Instantly, Jinmay gasped in horror upon the comment while Johan, BT, and Glenn grew speechless and horrified.

 

Chiro kneeled to Nova's length, grasped both her shoulders with both hands without looking back at the bodies and spoke while the yellow monkey, whose breathing was still shivered, gave him his attention.

 

"Nova, it's alright. Ease your breathing, okay? Ease it."

 

In response, Nova managed to ease herself and her breathing in a measure of calm as Chiro noticed.

 

"You okay now?"

 

Nova nodded and spoke.

 

"C-Can we get to the Robot, please?"

 

Chiro nodded in response before he and the entire group resumed their route.
