I hope you like it.

Chapter 1: Vile

The day was quite in Shuggazoom City, giving the monkey team a well-deserved break.

Antauri was meditating, Otto was being Otto playing with his gadgets, Gibson was working in his lab, And Nova and Sprx were fighting again.

As for the monkey team leader, Chiro was laying back in his chair watching the two bright colored monkeys argue it out. Normally he would intervene, but this time he felt it was something they both needed, after all the fight only began because Sprx hit on Nova. It was sad how much Nova refused to date the other, but then again weren't they brother and sister? Maybe it was best if she did refuse, but at the same time they were animals, and only the animal kingdom can really get away with incest.

Chiro stopped thinking about it before he gave himself a headache and went back to just watching them, making sure nothing got out of hand with them.

"Gang look at this!" Gibson announced barging into the room with enthusiasm. "I have found a new chemical!" He held up a blue vile for all of them to see; Antauri the only one missing from the room. "I believe this chemical can change the lives of many. It still requires more testing, but if I can pull this off we will have a possible cure for cancer!"

Chiro jumped out of his seat with an over joyed expression. "Really? That's amazing!"

Gibson nodded pleased with himself when Otto reached for the vile.

"Don't touch Otto!" he snapped. "There is no telling what could happen if you spill this."

"Aw, you never let me look at anything, I won't hurt it, I promise." Otto whined.

"Absolutely not!" Gibson scolded. "I'm putting this vile in the fridge to keep it cool, don't touch it…it's not stable yet Otto." He replied placing the vile next to the juice.

Otto gave a frown but backed away from the fridge.

"So how long do you have to keep it in there?" Chiro asked.

Gibson beamed as his leader asked. "Two days exactly!" Otto was still hovering over the blue monkey. "And until that time no one can touch it." He glared at the green monkey who quickly stopped hovering.

"As long as we can keep Otto away from it I'm sure we'll have nothing to worry about." Sprx remarked sarcastically giving Nova a playful smile, but she took it differently and socked him in the arm. And it started once more with the two of them bickering.

"Hey, where's Antauri?" Chiro suddenly asked breaking the fight up between the two.

"His still in the back room, meditating." Otto remarked putting up air quotes around meditating.

"Maybe we should see if he wants to go with us to the market place." Nova said. "it's better than staying here all day."

Chiro nodded and walked into the back room.

"Hey Antauri…want to come to the market with us? You never know when you might get another chance." He smiled.

"No thanks Chiro…You go ahead, I'll stay here, besides we never know when Skeleton King will attack."

Chiro gave a sigh; he was looking forward to Antauri coming along. "Well okay, see you in a bit then." With that Chiro left the room.

Sprx looked at his leader as he walked back in. "So is old meditater bot coming or what?"

Chiro gave out a disappointed sigh and answered, "No, he wants to stay here."

Sprx nodded in understanding. That was the older brother for ya. "Well there's no point staying here today on such a wonderful worry free day, shall we?" and Sprx lead out the door, the others following close behind in agreement.

Walking down the street the group began their trip to the market store.

Time passed and soon Antauri got up leaving the room he was in most of the day and headed to the fridge.

"Hey Chiro," Otto began, "you did tell Antauri not to touch the vile in the fridge right?"

Chiro stopped in his tracks thinking. "Well no, but its Antauri right? He knows everything, I'm sure he won't touch it." He grinned sheepishly.

Soon the group found themselves back home Gibson going straight to the fridge.

"Well let's see how our little test is going shall w-" Gibson stopped once he opened the door eyes wide in horror.

Everyone looked at him in question. Something wasn't right, that much was clear, but what?

"The vile! Its empty!" He cried.

Suddenly a hard breathing was heard in the back room where Antauri was.

"Monkey Team Go!" Chiro commanded evidently, the team obeying at once.

Running into the back room the team stopped, either by shock or fear one may never know. There in the room, laying on the ground in the fetal position was Antauri. He was gasping for breath, his tail was in a twist and fur seemed to be growing from his back ripping apart the original metal.

Looking over at the gang with pain filled eyes he cried in agony. "Chiro!"

The said boy was about to run to his aid until he heard him cry again, "Leave!"

"What? No! We aren't going to leave you like this!" Chiro yelled pained to see the black monkey like this.

"YOU HAV AHH!" he cried and fell more into his previous position.

Chiro froze at what happened next. Antauri began to rapidly change. The fur coming out of his back had spread to his whole body breaking though his metal body. His small form becoming that of the size of a gorilla and maybe bigger, and his teeth growing the size of Chiro's head.

"Watch out!" Sprx yelled as the new Antauri lunged at them.

Quickly getting out of the way the team realized quickly Antauri was after Chiro.

"Look out kid!" Sprx warned from above.

Chiro turned behind him to notice the huge monkey coming right at him, and tried to escape but was a few seconds to slow. Antauri had grabbed his foot and pulled him all the way into his grasp.

"Oh no you don't!" Nova snapped and got ready to punch what was once her brother but missed as the black monkey jumped out of the way, and exited though the window, Chiro in hand.

"HELP ME!" Chiro cried.

But the monkey was too fast and the others lost sight of him before they could even get outside.

"Chiro!" Otto yelled out hoping for an answer.

Sprx being next in command, spoke. "Come on team, we have to save Chiro…and Antauri…"

Please tell me what you think of it. Personally I think my writing style sucks and I'm always trying to find a way to improve it, but it seems this is just the way I can write-but it would be nice to get some feedback. ^_~
