A/N Hi Everybody! Great news for me, as S.R.M.T.H.F.G. is back here In my country! It's shown twice, at night (12:15 A.M. till 1:00 A.M.) Sometimes it's so difficult to wait! But it's worth while! Of course it's only the old epies, but they really cheered me up and inspired me greatly!
So here's the next 7th chapter! (My god! How many chapters I've already written! Wow! )
Well, where've we stopped…oh, yes!
… BT made some steps back, but suddenly Chiro turned back, smiled and asked him:
"Are you ready?"
Chapter 7
Hours before in the Super Robot
… The silver monkey closed his eyes and concentrated, than suddenly opened them and said:
"Chiro isn't in the Robot anymore."
"He…escaped? How could he…?" – Gibson said. His voice was very disappointed and unsure.
"As you see he could! I've told you, we shouldn't leave him alone!" -Sparx pointed at Gibson.
"You've told me? Really? Sorry, something has happened to my memory… IT WAS YOU WHO LEFT HIM HERE ALONE!!!"
Again it was Nova's turn to stop the monkeys quarrelling.
"Chiro's a big boy, and he can take care of him and make the decisions himself, don't you think so?"
"Nova is right" Antauri came up to her. Otto followed him. "The boy has his own mind. What I can't understand, it's why is Chiro so afraid of school?"
"It was the question we wanted to ask…But now, when Chiro's gone…" Gibson began
"…We gotta find him!!!" Otto exclaimed suddenly.
Everybody turned back and looked at the green monkey...
"Uh… anime drop… Shuggazoom's so big, Chiro's so small…A stupid idea, I know…He-hee…Sorry!"
"You're idea is not so stupid, Otto" – the greatest thinker of the team said- "Chiro's the member of the monkey team. We'd be able to see him on the locator, right Gibson?"
"Of course! Everybody - to the main room of the Super Robot!" And the blue monkey rushed back. The rest of the team followed him.
"Ha, a great leader!" Sparx mumbled –"Everybody to the main room! UH!" – The red monkey tried to imitate Gibson's voice.
When they all gathered in the main room of the Super Robot, Gibson came up to the computer. He pushed some buttons on the keyboard and a detailed map of Shuggazoom appeared on the screen. The blue monkey started to knock on the keyboard again. A moment later a red point appeared.
"This read point is Chiro"
"Great Brain –Strain! And we thought it's your grandma!" Sparx grinned
Gibson's face became as red, as the point on the map. He turned back to the red monkey and fixed his black eyes on him.
"Well, Gibson" – Otto thought it was just the right time to interrupt their "eye dispute" – "So, where's he now?"
Gibson's face came to it normal blue color, but he was still glaring at Sparx.
Nova - cough " ehm…Gibson!"
"Yes-yes…I'm comin' "- Gibson approached to the computer again – "Right now he's … in the café…???"
"Maybe Chiro just wanted to eat some ice-cream?" Otto supposed
"At 10:34 p.m.?" – Nova had a really disappointed look.
"Well, surely, he's in the cafe not for some ice-cream. But what for?" Antauri asked himself, saying the question aloud.
Everyone was silent for the next 2 or 3 minutes. They didn't want to interrupt each other's thoughts.
"Monkeys Mobilize!" Antauri finally shouted.
In the café
"But what can we – you and me - do? I won't be able to help you at all! You know – I'm not that... I'm not a monkey." BT said.
It was a real look at the situation. He, Chiro, didn't want to tell everything to the monkey team, he wanted to cope with that problem himself. He was not afraid so much as he was before, but anyway… He understood that he wouldn't defeat Mr. Selv (And all his helpers of course!) all alone.
"Well, we can…" Chiro began, but suddenly he heard the sound, so familiar to him. It's like a …
"…Super Robot…" – Chiro whispered.
He really didn't know what to do. Should he go out, see the monkeys and tell them the full story…Or should he run away and continue hiding from his dearest friends? But it can't last forever…
With this thought in his mind, Chiro came up to the door, took away the chair, which he had placed in front of the entrance for not to let BT go away.
Then the boy opened the door. Great air flow met him. His wonderful black hair was waving in the wind, shiny blue eyes were staring at the sky (or better to say, at the Robot flying in the sky) …
Later, in the main room in the Super Robot
"We'd better go to the café. We'll eat some ice cream…For free, by the way!" Sparx noticed
"Sparx, we already get everything for free in Shuggazoom, as a gratitude for regular salvations of the city." – Nova said.
"Anyway, I want some ice-cream!" – The red monkey knocked his fist on the inner side ofthe sphere-shaped armchair.
"Otto, go and buy 6… oh, sorry BT, 7 portions of ice-cream, please" Chiro smiled and reached out the money. "Leave it on the counter"
"Money? What for?" Sparx said in a great surprise. "The things are free for us, why not to enjoy these privileges?"
"Because I can't act like that. It's…just my character. Maybe I'm too honest, guys?" Chiro laughed.
"Well, doesn't matter… It's your money, and I want to eat. So, Otto, be quick please!"
"I'll do my best, mister S.P.R.X. 77" – the green monkey grinned and disappeared in the green tube.
"So, Antauri, Gibson, any ideas?" Nova asked
The blue and the silver monkey were staring at the full map of Shuggazoom city. After the boy had told his story to the hyperforce, they had to make a detailed plan of their actions.
…Chiro's school was situated far from a busy center of the city. It was funny for the boy to see it like a blue small point… Ha, the Chosen One is afraid of a little blue point on the map of a great city of Shuggazoom… How funny the world can be!
"Actually I have some sort of a plan, but…"
"Gibson just can't survive without his favorite "buts"!" Sparx smiled
"Sparx!" Nova and Antauri exclaimed with one voice
"Ok,ok. I'm silent"
"So, continue, Gibson." Chiro said
"Thanks, Chiro. As I've already said, I have a plan, but it has some defects. For example, imagine the situation – We come to that school, and then what? We can't enter the main entrance, right?"
"Well, if it's the only problem, then it's solved. You know when I …uh,.. studied in that school, if such a process can be called like that…
So, I and my friends tried to escape many times. So we have found some secret exits, which can be good secret entrances for us. I guess they still exist; they're really very difficult to find! " Chiro said
"Yes…So, one problem's really solved. I hope these entrances are really still situated there…
The next problem's your teacher, who was the principal before Selv came back."
"Yes…That's a real problem… I can't even imagine where can she be…But we must rescue her…" Chiro said in great thoughtfulness
"And she's probably our only weak point." Antauri added
"Wait! There're the dungeons in school! I swear, Selv hid her there!" Chiro cried in a glad voice. "Any other problems?"
"No, I think, that's all"
"Ha, some defects? Gib, you had no plan at all! Chiro has made it himself in a minute! What were you thinking about for…" he looked at the watches "for more than half an hour?" Sparx smirked.
Nova lost her control. She came up to the red monkey with her eyes burning. Sparx made some steps backwards, but Nova followed him. I scaring smile appeared on her face, she was already ready to fix Sparx up…
"Anyone wants ice-cream?" – Otto came onto the room with 6 portions of ice-cream in his hands. The 7th portion was already in green monkey's mouth.
"Wow!!! Ice cream!" Chiro, BT and Gibson ran up to Otto. Antauri slowly levitated up to Otto as well.
"Thanks Otto. He saved your life." Nova winked at Sparx.
"I guess I'd better thank my portion of ice-cream first" Sparx smiled and they both approached to get their yammies.
A/N Wow! I guess it's the longest chapter of my fan fic ever! So, did you like it? Or not? Please, REVIEW, guys!!!
A/N 2 Oh, some of the reviewers of the previous chapter said that I have some grammar and lexical mistakes. So I gotta say sorry for all of them (I know there're lots of them) It's not my mother tongue, but I try my best to cope with this language ;)
