"The Chosen"

Prologue

By: Eliyora

Eliyora: Okay, I feel about fifteen kinds of guilt right now. For any who may be curious, I'm the author Cherry Romancer. I just . . . well . . . I kinda lost my interest for my other account. Until I can recover it, my other stories will remain untouched. Once I recover it, I will finish the unfinished stories on there, then that account is done. I am from now on Eliyora.

Kitalia: Yeah, yeah, we get it. Now, will you move on already?

Eliyora: Shut up! By the way, this is Princess Kitalia, my own OC for Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! She's going to be in this story, playing a slightly different role than she will in the next one. This particular story is an AU of the Shuggazoom that we all know.

Kitalia: I'll explain. First off, more than just the one city is habitable. Almost the entire planet is capable of supporting life. There is still a Zone of Wasted Years, but it is much smaller, and it surrounds the Pit of Doom, both of which will play an important role. Also, there is no Monkey Team. There is no constant threat from the Skeleton King. In fact, no one has even heard of him. One more thing, the people of Shuggazoom all have monkey tails. This includes the members of the Hyper Force, who are all human high school students.

Eliyora: Shush! If you explain anymore, you'll give away the plotline!!

Kitalia: How about a "thanks for explaining"?

Eliyora: I didn't ask you to! I know you're a princess, but don't be so self-righteous!!

Kitalia: HMPH! (pouts)

Eliyora: (sighs) Anyways, enjoy, and forgive me if I write anything OOC. I've never written about the Monkey Team before.

It was early. Too early. He shouldn't have gotten up! He wanted to go back to sleep, and was well on his way before he recieved a hard poke on the shoulder.

"Hey, Kid! Wake up! Don't let Nova see you sleeping!" came the voice of his best friend, the red-head Sparx. Blinking, Chiro sat up at his desk. It was annoying, but Sparx was right. If Nova saw him, she would wake him up her own way. She wouldn't tolerate any of her friends sleeping during school.

"Alright, I'm up," he grumped.

"Late night?" came the merry voice of the green-haired Otto. This boy gave new meaning to the term "ignorance is bliss." Otto was probably the sweetest guy in the entire city, but he was incredibly naive, almost to the point of being completely stupid. Only his closest friends knew that Otto was a lot smarter than he let on.

"Yeah. I was studying all night, and I still couldn't follow anything from science class!" Chiro complained.

"Maybe you should ask Gibson!" Otto suggested. This idea was rewarded by a groan from Chiro and Sparx.

"Come on Otto! You know how Brainstrain is! If Chiro asks him, he'll get a three-day lecture in words that only a rocket scientist could understand!" Sparx said.

"He's not that bad, Sparx. I'm not saying that it's a good idea, but you're exaggerating," Chiro said. Sparx just 'hmphed' at Chiro, which earned a grin from said boy. Gibson and Sparx were twin brothers who couldn't have been more opposite if they tried. Sparx was a hot-tempered, egotistical flirt who lived by his instincts, detested science, and was really quite popular with the girls.

His brother, however, was quite level-headed, always approached things from a logical, scientific view, couldn't live without his home lab, and was actually kind of shy about things that weren't science-related. He also detested being called by his first name of Hal, making everyone call him by his last name.

"Who exaggerating what?" Speak of the devil. The blue-haired genius had just entered the classroom. He maneuvered his way through the desks to his friends.

"Nothin' important," Chiro answered. "'Sup Gibson?"

"Nothing interesting," Gibson replied. "Just checking on some of my projects before coming to class."

Sparx rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything. He had been distacted by something, or more accurately, someone. Two beautiful girls had just walked in and had sat down on the other side of the classroom. One of them had pink hair that was always kept in two pontails and bright green eyes, and was well-built. This was Jinmay, Chiro's girlfriend. Being the daughter of a very well-off family, Jinmay had been raised as a polite and courteous young lady. Because of this, and her looks, she was probably the most desired girl in the school.

The other girl was the one Sparx was staring at. She had long, golden hair, fiery pink eyes, and a body that could kill. This was Nova, the girl that Sparx had been longing for since they had met her in fifth grade. Though she was stunning, Nova was a tomboy, flat and simple. She didn't like waering skirts, she was a black belt in no less than four styles of martial arts, and could be very blunt when she wanted to. Her attitude made her considerably less popular than her best friend Jinmay, but she didn't care. In her opinion, "the less idiot males to annoy her, the better." This, however, did nothing to discourage Sparx's affections, and the poor guy seemed to constantly be sporting a bruise or black eye.

Before Chiro could get up to say hi to Jinmay, the final bell rang, signaling the start of homeroom. All of the students took their seats quickly, before their "ogre" homeroom teacher came in. Ms. Shenko was the meanest teacher in the entire school. She's assign dentention if anyone so much as dropped their pencil, so no one dared to misbehave around her.

Ms. Shenko walked into the classroom, adorned in her usual all-black gothwear. She looked around the class once, then took role call. After this, she said, "Before I let you speak, there is something important I must announce." She turned to the door. "We have a new student joining us today."

The door opened and a yound man walked in. A handsome young man. A very handsome young man with black hair that was about mid-back in length and tied in a ponytail, tranquil green eyes that seemed to take in everything around him at once, and a pale complexion that many girls would have killed for. If they dared, the girls would have immediately started to whisper amongst themselves. As it was, they were all staring with love-smitten expressions on their faces. Even Jinmay and Nova had to admire how handsome this guy was.

Ms. Shenko ignored them and said, "Tell us about yourself."

Clearing his throat, he said, "My name is Antauri. My family just moved here from Koraladol City. I have an older brother, and I'm a vegetarian. Other than that, there's really nothing to tell."

"Very well. Take a seat."

Antauri looked around before spotting a vacant seat next to Otto. As soon as he sat down, Ms. Shenko said, "Very well. That is all, so you may now be the little miscreants that you are and talk amoungst yourselves." She sat at the teacher's desk while the other students got up and moved to be with their friends. Most of the female students crowded around Antauri.

"Antauri, is it?"

"He's so handsome!"

"You have a brother? Bet he's not as gorgeous as you!"

"Oh, do you want me to show you around?"

Sparx watched the attention Antauri was receiving rather huffily. After all, Sparx was supposed to be the popular boy. He didn't like that the new kid was stealing his thunder without even trying. Noticing this, Chiro grinned.

"What's wrong, Sparx? Girl trouble?" he teased.

"No. New kid trouble," he responded.

Nova gave a short laugh. "Hey, it's not his fault he's way more gorgeous than you could ever hope to be." Sparx didn't reply. He just sat there, pouting.

"Instant popularity aside, he does seem rather intriguing," Gibson said.

"Yeah. I bet he's really cool!" Otto said cheerfully. "Maybe we should be friends with him!"

"No offense, Otto, but you want to be friends with everyone. We don't even know anything about him," Nova pointed out.

"We know he's from Koraladol, and he's a vegetarian!" Otto replied. Nova shook her head, smiling.

"Well, at least, let's try to get to know him. Even with all that attention, he's probably going to feel lonely in a new school," Jinmay suggested.

"I agree. Let's invite him to sit with us at lunch," Chiro said.

Sparx just 'hmphed' again.

Eliyora: Just a taste. I know it's completely boring right now, but I promise it will get better!

Kitalia: Stop making promises! You have a hard time keeping them.

Eliyora: Well. . . yeah. . .

Kitalia: While she's on her guilt trip, make sure you hit that nice little button in the corner there and leave a review. ARIGATO!!
