CH 16

An evil grin spread across the face of the young man before them. "Indeed I did bring you here." The grin quickly disappeared from his face as he looked at the other members of the Huperforce.

"You... You five weren't supposed to be here... But look at this! You're here on my island." As he put a dark emphasis on the word my, his eyes became a darker crimson color. This didn't go unnoticed by the members of the team.

As quickly as it came the dark color in his eyes vanished, the evil smirk reappeared upon the young mans face as he turned to look at Antauri and Nova. "Well I guess since your 'friends' are here, then mine should be allowed too"

He spread his arms wide as hundreds of zombie like minions appeared surrounding the Hyperforce. The members of the team all backed up forming a circle around Antauri and Nova.

"Get ready team" Chiro said while quickly glancing at his team. His answer was the sound of their transformers being used and their weapons appearing.

A sharp sound caught the ears of the young boy as well as their foe. They turned to look in the direction of Antauri and Nova.

What they saw surprised them all. Antauri and Nova stood backs to each other, weapons activated and ready to fight.

"Antauri Nova you can't fight you're injured!" "No Chiro" "We're going to fight even if we're hurt."

"But you can't!" Blue and pink looked at the young robot girl. "Do not fret Jin-may" Nova nodded. "We just needed a bit of time before we were ready to fight again." Antauri looked at Nova before giving a small nod which she returned slowly.

The young man smiled as he watched their tails wrap around the others as they turned their heads to face the direction before them. 'This will be fun once the demon takes over' He thought "GERIL!!" (Jer-ll)

The minions all turned their heads to face their master. A sick grin came over his face as he stared at the hyper force. "Bring me yellow and silver. Kill everyone else." The Geril turned their attention back to the Hyperforce and began to advance forward.

The young man just laughed while jumping up to sit on a high side of the building to watch the battle. "Hyperforce, GO!!" Chiro shouted at the team sprang from their positions and began attacking.

"Thunder Punch!" Chiro shouted while destroying 2 of the Geril. He watched them turn into black goop on the floor before slowly disappearing. He turned and saw Jin-may, and Gibson on his right fighting their way through the masses, while Sprx and Otto where on his right doing the same.

That meant that Antauri and Nova where behind him. The sound of their voices and attacks made a small smile appear on his face.

After 10 or more minutes it looked like the Hyperforce was going to win this battle but of course things never go as planned. A special Geril appeared beside the young man when he snapped his fingers.

Few words were whispered into the ear of the Geril, but that was enough. It looked at Antauri and Nova before looking back at it's master, nodding, and disappearing into the fray. Antauri's ghost claws slashed through 3 Geril when a dark feeling shot through him.

He turned towards Nova who currently had all her attention upon a group of Geril didn't notice the special Geril rushing at her from behind, sword drawn and ready to kill. 'Nova!' He thought while rushing at her attacker rage growing inside him. As he ran the demon began to take over.

His claws grew longer as his teeth became sharper and deadlier. No One was going to hurt her. Chiro glanced over to the other members of his team then to the masses of Geril still standing.

At this rate they would be here all day trying to defeat them all. That's when the though occurred to him. "Otto!" the green monkey looked at the boy. "Contact the Super Robot!"

The green monkey nodded and began calling the super machine. A loud clap was heard as the sword was brought down to the yellow monkey. Nova looked behind herself to see silver fur.

The blade of the Geril was held in between his ghost claws only centimeters from his face. An evil grin appeared on his face as he glared up at the Geril. It tried to pull it's sword away from Antauri's grasp but wasn't able to do so.

"Antauri!" Nova gave a small sigh in relief. The other members of the Hyperforce turned to look at the two. The young man took out what looked like a pocket watch. He grinned as he saw what it read. "perfect... Antauri you're mine."

Demon like eyes watched the Geril carefully before making his move. "Don't. Touch. Her." He whispered in a voice that was not his own. He pulled the sword out of the others grasp and threw it across the room.

As soon as he did he attacked. An explosion of black goop rained down on the two monkeys. "Antauri!" He spun quickly and caught her hand that was about to be put on his shoulder. He let out a low growl while tightening his grip on her arm "You..." Pink eyes widened "A-Antauri?" she asked quietly.

His eyes widened as he let go of her arm and began backing up slightly. He shook his head slowly as his claw returned to their normal size as did his fangs. "Nova.." He turned to run but fell straight on his face with a yellow monkey on top of him. "Antauri!"

Chiro heard her yell as well as Sprx. They ran over to the two and fought off all the Geril that were advancing upon them. A loud crashing sound caused everyone to look up to see the Super Robot destroying part of the ceiling.

"Antauri!" He gently pushed her off of himself and sat on his knees. "Nova I have to go..." "What do you mean?" His blue eyes glanced over to the man sitting on the ledge. He held up the small clock and waved it at Antauri.

"7 minutes!" he shouted. Antauri looked back to Nova "That's all the time I have left." Her bubblegum pink eyes widened "Before the demon fully takes over?" Antauri nodded. Chiro heard their conversation and stood a few feet from them head down.

7 minutes was it. The time limit would be up. He had broken through. Antauri would be gone. Sprx stood across form Chiro mind racing. Otto, Gibson, and Jin-may continued fighting as the numbers decreased rapidly. Sprx saw the others fighting and decided to let the three have the last few minutes to themselves.

Antauri slowly stood up and walked over to Chiro. Blue met with blue. "Chiro.." Antauri began slowly. "Rember everything I've taught you. Protect the planet at all cost. And be strong. Not just for yourself, for the team," He looked at Nova "For her.." The young boy nodded and bent down to give his mentor a hug.

"And Chiro, No matter what happens in 5 minutes, Take her, take the team, board the robot and get as far away from the island as possible." The young boy nodded again as he pulled away from the silver monkey. "Know this though there is a way to break the curse."

Antauri walked back over to Nova. "Nova I.." She said nothing but stood up and pulled him into a tight hug as tears began to fall. This would be her last few minutes with the one she loved. "Antauri you can't go!" She yelled into his chest.

He said nothing for a moment only held her close. "Nova listen to me there is a way to break the curse. I- I just don't know how.. You'll have to look for it." She nodded slightly. Antauri placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head to face him.

"Nova remember that I love you and I need your help." He brought his head down and gently kissed her on the lips. Chiro smiled sadly. This would be the last time she would be able to kiss him.

They pulled away after abit. "2 minutes Antauri!" Antauri held Nova tightly "You must go." She nodded slowly. She caught his lips again for a few seconds before slowly backing away. Antauri gave a weak smile at them trying to be strong himself.

Chiro gently picked the yellow monkey up and activated his jet pack. The others followed his lead and followed after him. Antauri watched them all go as they watched their brother stay behind. Once they had made it through the hole in the ceiling they quickly boarded the robot and took flight. They flew away from the island back to the city of Shuggazoom.

The young man jumped down from his spot on the ledge and walked over to the silver simian. The watch in his hand.

"Your time is up Antauri" Antauri nodded slightly.

"I know."

Fin.

Well that's it for Clockwork the sequel for this will be called Key of the Heart and will be up soon.
