"Where am I?" She asked herself glancing around this strange place that surrounded her. She couldn't see very well since it was very dark, but could tell for some reason, that she was in some kind of dark tunnel that was made out bricks. Stone bricks. Just like the floor her bare feet trod on. She could also hear sounds of rats squeak and water dripping. Whatever this tunnel she was in, must have be around for a long time. Perhaps a hundred years or so. But where was this tunnel taking her? The question kept playing in her mind as she for some reason kept walking through the dark. Just then, a sudden sound of a stone being rolled over made her stop and stood perfectly still like a solider would do in the army. It took her a few seconds before she could find the courage to use her voice.

"Hello?...anyone there?" But there was no reply. At least not for a few moment until she heard what seemed to be a dark chuckle.

"So…you have finally returned…I have been expecting to see you again". A dark, sinister voice spoke as a couple of red eyes appeared from the darks that seemed to be glowing. Joelle quickly took a step back, she wanted to run, but couldn't find the strength too. She knew one thing though. That whoever's voice it is, it was not skeleton king, her old nemeses.

"Who are you? What do you want?" she croaked out feeling scared for she didn't know what to expect from his new dark villain. The two glowing eyes just stared at her. "You will find out soon enough…but as for now…wake up".

"Joelle….wake up, you need to get ready for collage". Joelle heard her mother call as she opened her eye tiredly. She then gave out a loud yawn and stretched her body making a strange yawning noise that seemed to sound similar to a cat's growl. Joelle then turned to her clock and saw that it was 6:55am. Joelle quickly got up and put her clothes on. She was only ten minutes late from waking up, but it would mean she'd have to skip breakfast…again. Joelle pulled up her dark blue jeggins and placed a long sleeve purple shirt that was covered by another shirt, only that it didn't have any sleeves and that it was black with a picture if a fantasy world on it. It made her look very dressy since it covered her bum and top legs. She then straightened her wavy, reddish brown hair that reached down to her shoulders while playing some music from her laptop. Joelle loved listening to music in the morning. Once her hair was nice and straight, she put on her make up, face cover up to cover some spots up, some purple eye blush, black eye liner she drew around her hazel brown eyes and last at least, mascara to make her lashes stick out more. She then put on her purple, black and silver sneakers she got from Camden Town since she loved all the cool patterned stuff they do there and headed down stairs with her bags. Joelle had two different bags. One was for all her school work that she carried on her back, and another was a handbag for her much needed things like her purse, phone, ipod, hand cream, est. Joelle looked at the clock and saw that she still had time to watch the news on sky.

But as she watched the news, her mother came in. "Joelle, I need you to finish off those six paintings for your collage interview".

Joelle looked at her mum slightly annoyed and tired, she still felt a little sleepy from her nightmare. "Yes mum…im ganna do that today." She replied in a slightly moody way. Joelle's mother gave her a serious look.

"Seriously Joelle, if you don't get into that collage, then we're back to square one of looking for another collage for you".

Joelle sighed. "I know mum…I told you, im ganna do it". She then turned back at the TV as it was showing a news report about something rather odd.

"And in today's top headlines, we talk about the strange events about some people who have sworn they have seen some kind of strange portals…where are these portals coming from and why do they keep disappearing for…find out next".

Joelle wanted to watch this, but then she looked at the time in the corner of the screen and knew that she had to get to collage. So she turned the TV off, put on her purple coat, grabbed her bags and headed outside with her mother so that she could drive her to the train station. On the way to the train station, Joelle was listening to the radio, but it only seemed to be playing, "I gotta feeling", by the black eyed peas. Joelle then turned to her mum who was keeping an eye on the road. "Hey mum, did you hear about those portals appearing?"

Joelle's mother looked at her with a questionable look on her face. "No I haven't…where have you heard this from?" she asked.

Joelle was about to answer, but then a yawn took over. "…On sky news…don't you think that's kinda odd?"

Joelle's mother then stopped the car as they were at a red light, she looked at Joelle. "Well, you cant always believes everything you hear Joelle, it was probably a light reflection or a delusional object. Something like that".

Joelle gave a thought about it. She had heard some strange news before, like a man who was caught in a fire ended up living and finding his badly bunt frying pan had a picture of Jesus on it. And the time she saw on the daily mail website of a strange spiral object in the sky in Norway, that actually turned out to have been a missile launch gone wrong. Perhaps this whole portal think really was another hoax, but then there's always the wonder of, perhaps it WAS real. But Joelle didn't really know what to choose or decide.

Once they arrived outside of the train station, Joelle kissed her mum on the cheek like she does every time she says goodbye to her mother. She then took her bags and watched her mum leave while heading inside the station to catch a train.

When Joelle arrived at her collage, she looked at the time on her purple blackberry phone and saw that she still had fifteen minutes till her textiles lesson started. So she went across to road to Tesco express where she often goes for lunch breaks, though she does sometimes go to the Chinese restaurant that was only a few shops down, or the café that was right next-door to her collage that she could sometimes smell the nice cooking. Joelle bought herself a chocolate muffin with a news paper and a bottle or Ribina. Once she paid for it, she headed back across the road and into her collage where she sat down on chair and began to ready the Daily mail while eating her muffin. After about 15 pages of dull, doom and gloom news, she then spotted the same news that she had seen on sky news about the strange portals. There wasn't an exact image of what the portal looked like, but there were quite a few different witnesses who seemed to have described the portal in the exact same ways they have seen it.

As she read through this, she didn't notice her friend, Hannah come into the room. Hannah was about a year younger then Joelle and had long, wavy red hair that looked so beautiful as it grew down her beck and just reached her bum. She had blue eyes that could be easily seen though her pale, freckly skin. She didn't look beautiful or ugly, but just pretty much normal. "Hi jojo, how are you?"

Joelle looked at Hannah and was about to reply when another yawn hit her. "…Tired". She replied to Hannah.

Hannah placed her bags down. "Did you go out last night?" she asked her. Joelle wiped a tear from her eye from the yawn, being careful not to smudge her make up.

"No…another bad dream". Hannah sat on a chair next to her.

"Really? What sort of nightmare was it?" She asked curiously.

Joelle gave a thoughtful look and shrugged. "Its just really strange…I find myself standing in a dark old tunnel and there are these scary red eyes that stare at me and a dark voice telling me that he's been expecting me".

Hannah glanced at Joelle with fascination. "Really? Did you see who it was?"

But Joelle shook her head. "No…but what's really weird is that I been dreaming about this dream every night for the past month, only that it changes a little every time". She gave a thoughtful look about this.

Hannah also gave a thoughtful look. "That really is weird…maybe its something you have eaten or maybe you've watched something you cant quite get out of your head, like a scary movie".

Joelle did give a thought about it, but it didn't seem to be the right answer for why she was having all these strange nightmares. Just then, the rest of the students came into the room and so did her textiles teacher.

"Alright everyone, place your bags underneath your desks so that we can get started…Emma, put your phone away now".

Joelle placed her bags under the table and took out her pencil case ready for another days work at collage.

By the time collage was finally over, Joelle felt knackered and tired, all she really wanted to do was sleep in her bed for a good long time, but then remembered the daunting memory of the nightmare she'll have to look forward too. As she headed up the pavement that lead up a hill towards the station, she suddenly felt a strange feeling, like a sense and glanced over her shoulder, but didn't see anything there. Perhaps all of this tiredness was getting to her. She shrugged and continued her journey. Not aware of a short figure following her.

Once Joelle finally arrived her, she headed straight up to her room, not bothering to see Henry, her pet dog she would usually give cuddle and kisses too, but not tonight. Joelle closed her bedroom door and dropped the bags. She then just took off her coat and changed into her pyjamas which was a simple black pyjama bottoms with a blue shirt that said "I heart BBYO", which was the name of a tour group she went with for a month's tour around Israel for the summer holiday that was a few years ago. It was a great experience for her.

Joelle pulled the blinds down over her windows and switched the light off before jumping into her nice, soft warm bed, which she snuggled up in, keeping warm, not wanting to get out. She quickly felt her mind drift off into a sleep of darkness.

Bonk

Joelle opened her eyes hearing the sound of something that had hit one of the windows of her bedroom. Perhaps it was just her radiator making its annoying banging noise when it gets hot or cold. Joelle then closed her eyes again thinking it wouldn't happen again, when…

Bonk

…That same noise again, only this time, Joelle could tell it was coming from outside. She looked at her alarm clock and saw it was about 7:30pm. She had been asleep for a few hours.

Bonk

Once again. Joelle got up from her head and headed over to her windows and lifted up the blinds a little and peeked through her window to see what was going on. Because it was dark wince it was nighttimes, Joelle couldn't see very well and was about to turn away when she saw the stone hitting the window. That's when she decided to open one of her windows and stuck her head out to take a glance down. "Hello?" she called out to whoever it was. Suddenly, the garden lights were activated revealing the shirt figure that seemed to be wearing a cloak.

"Pssst, hey, are you the one called Joelle?" The figure asked her. Joelle was about to say yes, but knew that she had to be careful to whoever this stranger was.

"Why do you want her for?" She asked the figure.

But the figure just replied in an annoyed way. "Just answer the question, are you her or not?"

Joelle knew that she had to give him the answer, so she replied, "yes, I am, but what do you want with me?"

The figure immediately leaped into the air and scaled the wall until the figure landed on the window right in front of Joelle who quickly stood back feeling scared. The figure jumped down from the window and landed on the floor and stood in front of Joelle. The two figures stared at each other for a moment before the short figure, that seemed to only reach up to Joelle's waist, reached for it's hood that covered its head and slowly removed it to reveal who and what it was. Joelle's eyes widened once she saw the figure.

"Le…Leo?"

The yellow bio cybernetic monkey with black eyes glanced at Joelle studying her up and down. "Jo…joelle? Is that really you? But…you look so….different when I last saw you".

Joelle could tell by his voice that the monkey was a teenager, but sounded very similar to spark's voice. "Leo…what are you….how did you….?" Joelle wasn't sure how to really respond since she was still shocked and surprised by this.

Leo just gave a sparks grin. "its good to see you too. As for the questions, I came here to find you, and second, I came here by portal travel, it wasn't easy finding you in this huge messed up planet".

Joelle couldn't help but smile at this. Yep, he was defiantly like his father. "Hey, don't hate the planet, and why were you looking for me exactly?" she sat on her bed as Leo stood where he was.

Leo then gave a serious look with a little sadness in his eyes. "Shugazoom is in huge trouble Joelle…and you're our last hope to save the city and the people."

Joelle couldn't believe what she was hearing; it was as if she was told that her parents had a car accident. "But…what about the hyper force…and their allies?"

But Leo gave a sigh as he looked down towards the ground. "They've been defeated and captured by…". He then stopped his sentence as Joelle listened curiously.

"Captured by who…its not skeleton king is it?"

Leo looked up at her. "Chiro will explain it to you, but you need to come with me now, there isn't a lot of time." He stood up and pressed a button of a device he was holding that suddenly made a small portal. Joelle suddenly remembered the portal for where she used to end up in shugazoom city and turn into her hyper force form.

"Uh…Leo…im not sure about this". She suddenly spoke.

Leo looked at her confused. "What do you mean your not sure? The team, your friends are in trouble, you have to help defeat da….the evil force".

But Joelle looked down, "but…I promised mum I wouldn't leave her again,…and I got collage and a life to look forward too…". Joelle then suddenly found herself confused with her feelings. She did like collage and she loved being with her family, but apart of her wanted to leave this life and go to a place where she felt she belonged too as she always felt. But which could she possibly choose.

Leo could tell she was unsure and took her hand gently. "Joelle…please, everyone is counting on your help now…without you…this could be the end of all good things….please, come with me".

Joelle went quiet. She then took a glance around her room, she knew that she couldn't just spend her life wanting to do everything her parents told her…and that she had to follow what she felt was right. "Just give me a few minutes". She quickly grabbed some paper and a pen and began to write on the piece of paper a letter to her mother explaining to them where she was and why she was going.

Leo watched, eager to get out of here and get home. "Are you done yet?"

Joelle nodded and placed the letter on her bed, "lets go". Leo smiled and took Joelle's hand as they both faced the portal.

"You ready?" he asked her.

Joelle smiled at Leo and nodded. "Let the ride begin".

Leo nodded. "Just keep hold of my hand and don't let go".

Before Joelle could ask why, they both jumped into the portal and the portal disappeared, leaving only Joelle's note on her bed.

This is a story i have also put up on DivientART. Now for those of you who have no idea who Joelle, Cherry, Leo and Alex are, let me fill you in:

Cherry is Spark's and Nova's daughter and first born child. She had red fur like her father and pink eyes like her mother. Her weapons are claws that obsorb electricity and can electricute anyone and anything with a touch. Ever since she's been a small child, Cherry has always wanted to be a pilot like her father, and does so later in life. Even though she's into flying, she does have alot of her mother's personality where she tries to act tough and gets angry when someone she cares so much is hurt. She also carries her mother's power heat...um...thing, you know, from snowbound, lol, she hates the cold as well. She has a lover who is her childhood friend, Alex, who she's known since they were little monkeys, but then as they are young adults, thier feelings really start to show.

Leo is Spark's and Nova's second child and only son. He has yellow fur like his mother and black eyes like his father. For weapons, he has giant yellow and red fists with silver spikes on his knuckles which he uses to make holes or shoots spikes at his enemies. Leo enjoys driving his mother's tank rather then flying and tries to be tough like his mother, but he often ends up making mistakes and can be slightly clumsy. He does have Spark's flirty personality, however as his character developes, his talent of building things, like Otto, start to show, which is probally one of those things where someone in the family carries a gene from another family member thing. He's also funny like otto, but he's not dumb like him. Leo hasnt got a relationship with anyone...yet.

Alexander (Alex) is Joelle's (me) adopted son who was found by Mr. Gapslapper one stormy night as a lost, little monkey whose parents were killed by wolves. Alex had managed to get away from the wolves, but was still in danger of dying since he doesnt know how to work his weapons yet and is small and helpless. But then he ends up running into Mr. Gapslapper who decides to take him to the monkey team where he meets his new family. Alex is scared and shy at first, but then starts to feel relaxed and happy when he gets to know the team better. He has a closer relationship with Joelle and Cherry, since Joelle treats him like a son and Cherry has been a very sweet, helpful friend for him to rely on. Alex has black fur with two different coloured eyes, green on the left and blue on the right. He also has a small shooting star on the tip of his tail, which are his mystic powers he finds out off later in life. Alex has a very similar personality to Antauri, wise, patient and loves the peace and quiet. He shares a special reletaionship with Cherry when they are young adults, although he's always had a secret crush on Cherry since he was a youngster, but also felt too shy around her.

Joelle's story starts off about a few years ago where she is a typical teenager girl with a large imagination and has always wished for adventure, dont worry, my character isnt a nutter like Krinkle. One day, she ends up getting kidnapped by Skeleton King who wants to use her imgination to create an army of her imaginary characters, which are half human and half animal like creatures. When Joelle wakes up after being pulled into a portal, she finds that she is no longer a human, but is a purple and light blue robot monkey with green eyes and has a star-like symbol on her forehead. Just as Skeleton king is about to brainwash her, the monkey team come to the rescue after sensing another power primate presence. Once Joelle is rescued by the team, they quickly become great friends and since Joelle is no longer human, she decides to stat on Shugazoom city, knowing that going back to earth in her new monkey form would would probally have her end up in some labratory. After a few years with the team and countless adventures, skeleton king is finally defeated, and so Joelle decides that she is no longer needed and wants to go back to earth, to start a normal life as a human again since she misses her old home. The team somehow discover a way to end Joelle into a portal home where she can change back into her human form. Of course this meant that she had to make the hard decision of leaving her other family behind, but feels the need to be back on earth. After a few years of collage life, Joelle begins to have nightmares of a dark evil haunting her and Shugazoom city being in huge trouble. And well...you know the rest, so far.

Joelle isnt like any of the members of the team, she has her very own stand out personality. She is sensitive, careing, tries to help others in need and tries to be brave for the team. She have claws like Antauri's and Alex's, only they are purple and blue. She also carries a hidden star power ,which she later finds out off.
