A Monsters Jealousy
Last time on Martin Mystery. "Wow, the ultimate creature" Martin said as he sat down on a piece of ruble. "Ya and we totally beet it, together" Diana replied as she knelt down and started licking herself like so kind of green cat. "Though your still sort of a ultimate creature yourself" he exclaimed, diverting his eyes. Diana jumped when she realized what she was doing "Eu grouse, OK first priority getting me back to normal".
"So MOM have you found a way to turn me back to normal" Diana pleaded still looking as green as ever. "Yes and a way to fix that poor evaluation of yours." "Really how?" MOM pulls out a pair of tweezers with something small on the end. "Do you remember that chip we designed for Billy so he couldn't transform?" "ya what about it" Diana replied a little confused. "We modified it so that when given to you, it will not only turn you back to normal, but allow you to change back and forth from human to creature."
The room went silent, you could hear the gears turning in Diana's head, trying to way out the pros and cons of becoming (regardless of her hatred of comic books) a super hero. As if MOM could read her mind she pushed a button on her desk "The device is controlled by this watch" and at the word watch a small platform raised out of MOM's desk, with a watch that was similar to Martins U-watch but sleeker and much more feminine. "Every time you want to transform you just need to press this button." MOM pointed to one of the larger buttons on the watch. "So what do you think" Diana was still O struck at everything MOM had said she almost didn't notice her jay hanging in shock. But then she gathered her self and began to think if she took MOM's offer she would become a greater agent then Martin, and anyways she did find her new ability's helped when she was fighting Octavia. "All right" Diana stands up looking as dedicated as ever "Ill do it, for the Center" Diana's tail still waging behind her. "good" MOM replied dropping the chip into a solution and then sucking it up in a syringe. "This shouldn't hurt a bit" sticking the syringe into Diana's left arm. "Ouch" Diana cringed. But then she started to feel strange, her skin slowly faded from lizard scale green to her normal fleshy white. Her tail began to shrink too, smaller, and smaller, until it was gone. While Diana admired her ones again normal body MOM fitted the watch to her wrist. "Just remember a push of this button will change you from human to creature and back again, understand" MOM said with a stern look on her face. "Absolutely" Diana replied with a hint of excitement in her voice. MOM smiled as Diana's checks turned red from embarrassment. "Oh and one more thing keep this a secret from Martin, you know how he can brake practically anything." "Shore thing MOM" Diana said as she turned and strutted out of MOM's office feeling more existed than she'd felt in years.
The next week started like any other. Diana went to her classes and like every other day, did better than average. But this time when Martin tried to bug her or set her off with his eccentric plans to get girls attention. Diana just shrugged him off. This didn't sit well with Martin "Diana what's gotten into you, your not your everyday up tight perfect self" Martin asked on the way to their next class. "Nothing Martin, I'm feeling better than ever." Before Martin could continue, his watch started ringing. "The Center" Martin exclaimed "Finally" Diana muttered under her breath so no one could hear. Martin held his watch up to his eye and saw one of the panels in the wall, glowing, he lowered the watch, to find Diana half way through the portal already. "Are you coming" Diana asked. After Martin had finished reeling his jaw off the ground, he followed.
"Hey Java where've you bin all day" Martin asked as Java walked on to the moving platform to join them. "Java, got stuck cleaning sports locker room." He said with a look of discussed on his face. "Uh, smells like T-Rex poop" He exclaimed holding his nose. At the words T-Rex poop, a chill went down both Martins and Diana's spines. "Hi guys" Billy greeted as he came floating in on his hover chair. "Hi Billy" everyone exclaimed. After Martin and Billy exchanged their signature hand shake. They all rose in to MOM's office. "So what's our assignment today MOM" Marin asked. "Shhhh" MOM exclaimed. "MOM what's that" Diana asked, pointing to the creature sitting across from MOM that she seemed to be playing chess with. "Its a species we have just discovered, its a cross between a yeti and a mountain gorilla, its intelligence is quite close to a humans, and its also a quite experienced chess player, but their extremely easy to spoke." MOM whispered. "Wow, an actual yeti hybrid" Martin exclaimed with a bolt of excitement. Luckily Java grabbed him before Martin tried to get a better look. "Your mission is to investigate some sittings in the southern rain forest" MOM replied. That's when Java lost his grip letting Martin run right up to MOM "I bet its those swamp people I've been reading about in Monsters Monthly" he explained, leaning a little to fare over the table, causing one of the chess pieces to tip over and fall off the table. MOM inhaled deeply as the piece hit the ground. At that instant the yeti jumped up flipped the table and howled as loud as it could. The yeti then went silent as a tranquilizer dart sunk deep into the back of its neck. After about seven guards hauled it away, MOM's head looked like it was about to explode on Martin. "This way guys" Billy said hastily opening a portal. Before MOM could say anything, Martin bolted through, followed by Java. But before Diana could step through the portal, MOM gave her a stern look and tapped her wrist. Diana nodded and left to join her brother and the cave man.
After trigging through the forest for what felt like hours the group came to a dead end. "So maybe all those sightings were faked." Martin said. "That's a first Martin Mystery is thinking of a logical explanation." Diana smirked. "I'm not saying that…." But before Martin could finish his sentence he was interrupted by a loud rumble noise and then silence. "Maybe it was just an elephant." Diana insisted. But then they all froze for about ten meters away stood a huge creature on two legs and covered in feathers. The thing cocked its head, gave them all a quick glance, roared and ran away. "After it!" Java yelled. In a dead sprint they ran after it. Eventually they came to a deep cave "it must be in there" Diana stated. Martin activated the light on his U-watch and they entered the cave.
After an hour they came to a huge cavern and in the middle lay the beast. It was like a giant bird, beak and all. "Everyone be really quiet" Martin whispered, but as he turned around he tripped on an exposed tree root and fell flat on his face "Ohh". At that the bird got up and roared again, and began to charge. Diana gave a quick leap to dodge the creatures attack. And then like it was choreographed the light in Martins U-watch went out. The cave was reduced to pitch darkness. Diana then took her chance and hit the button on her watch.
Diana suddenly felt that same strange felling she had felt in MOM's office a week ago. But everything happened in reveres her skin, her eyes, her tail, all returned to its creature form. Suddenly everything in the cave became clear and visible, she had night vision. She could see the bird creature shaking itself off after hitting the cave wall after missing her. She could see Martin still on the floor were he had tripped. Java was still standing were she had left him, for to him it was still pitch black. Diana then turned around to see the creature staring right at her, it must have night vision too, Diana thought to her self. It slowly walked closer and closer to her till their noses were almost touching. Diana continued to stare at it, wondering what it was planning to do. But as she looked deeper and deeper into its eyes she saw something else a sense of sadness and loneliness. Diana slowly reached out her hand, and like a scared kitten it took a step or two back, and then came to rest its beak on Diana's palm. She slowly coaxed it into lying down, and it fell asleep. Diana then pressed the button one watch again and slowly turned back into her regular self. She then walked over to where Martin lay and shuck him back to consciousness. He then got up and hastily turned his light back on. "What happened?" Java exclaimed "Diana did you do that?" Martin asked pointing to the sleeping creature on the other side of the cave. "Maybe. I guess I might be a better agent then you first thought, Martin" Diana replied looking quite proud of her self.
