The beginning

It was around twelve o'clock when Natalie called. Spike was sleeping in his room. It had been almost a year since Specter tried to change history but it was finally over. At least...that's what they thought. Spike was sprawled out on his bed with a thin trail of drool coming down his chin. He was woken from his sleep when the phone rang loudly. The red head jolted out of his deep sleep and fell off his bed. He got up and rubbed his head, and picked up the ringing phone.

"Hello......"

"Spike! Something terrible has happened!"

"Natalie...? Do you know what time it is?!" Spike yelled.

"Spike you and Jake have to come to the Lab! Quickly!"

"What's going on over there?" Spike asked worriedly.

"There's no time just come on!" Natalie yelled franticly.

"Natalie...? Natalie?!" Spike asked frightened, only to realize she hung up.

"Curse that girl..." Spike said dialing Jakes number.

Spike waited for Jake to pick up. When he heard Jake answer the phone he started.

"Jake it's me Spike"

"Spike? Do you know what time it is?" Jake asked sleepily scratching his head.

"Yeah, but this is kinda important. Natalie called up and sounded really worried." Spike said getting dressed.

"She's always like that. But what did she say?"

"She said that we had to come to the Lab, that it was important"

"......wonder why......? Should we go?"

"Who knows, but let's go and see"

"Alright, I'll meet you at the Lab."

"Got it"

The now dressed Spike climbed out his window and started towards the Lab. If this was a joke Natalie was dead meat.

Natalie was cleaning the lab. The Professor had gone on vacation and asked Natalie to watch the Lab. Natalie had agreed of course, honored the Professor would pick her for such a big responsibility. She couldn't sleep so she came to the Lab. Noticing how dusty everything was she began cleaning. She had been there for at least an hour. Then it happened. Monkeys burst through the door and surrounded Natalie. On each Monkey lay a Peak Point Helmet. Then he came. Specter came through the door smiling with is hands behind his back. He too sported a Peak Point Helmet. Natalie gasped. The white monkey walked over to the red head, still smiling.

"Y---you're supposed to be at the Monkey Park!" Natalie yelled.

"Yes but as you can see I'm not. So let's get down to business" The monkey said.

"What do you want?!" Natalie asked backing away from the smiling saru (monkey).

"Dimension X. That's where my base was, wasn't it. So would you kindly step aside so I can get there" Specter (I think that's how you spell his name) said smiling.

"What ever you have planned it won't happen!" Natalie yelled.

"Ite! Must you talk so loud?" Specter said rubbing his ears.

Natalie stood her ground, determined to keep the chimp from the main computer.

"Oh well, if you won't move I'll have to move you" Specter said and snapped his fingers.

The monkeys around Natalie closed in and grabbed her by her arms and legs. They dragged her out of the way and Specter instead of going to the computer put a phone to Natalie's mouth. She looked at it confused.

"Call Spike and tell him and Jake to come here" The saru said now serious.

"Why? Shouldn't you be afraid of Spike?" Natalie asked angrily.

Specter scowled and motioned for one of his monkeys to go to the computer. The monkey put his finger directly over the key that said X.

"If you don't call him we'll open up Dimension X and throw you into it. Is that understood?" Specter said threateningly.

Natalie gulped; at least with Spike here he could protect her and the Lab. She took the phone and dialed Spikes number. It was better than being thrown into another dimension where she could come out God knows where.

"Hello.....?"

That was before Natalie had told Spike to come.

Spike and Jake both ran into the Lab just in time to see a monkey finish tying up Natalie. The monkey saw the two in the door way and its helmet flashed red. All the monkeys in the Lab started to look towards the two and their helmets turned red as well. The monkeys started to close in on the two when Spike spotted the Time Net sitting on the desk only a few feet away. But several monkeys blocked his way. Suddenly he got an idea.

"Jake...I want you to scream as loud as possible." Spike whispered into Jakes ear.

"Nani?! Why do I have to do that?" Jake asked confused.

"Just do it!" Spike yelled.

"Why?"

Spike growled in frustration and stomped on Jakes foot as hard he could.

"ITE! ITE! ITE! OWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!" Jake screamed holding his injured foot and hopping up and down on the other.

As if on cue all the monkeys looked at the screaming boy holding his foot. Spike took off towards the Time Net, while the saru's were busy with looking at Jake and blinking. Natalie sweat dropped. That was his ingenious plan? Natalie thought. While the monkeys stared at Jake, Spike took a few swipes, catching two monkeys before the rest caught on to what just happened. The monkeys started running around like crazy trying to avoid the flying Time Net, and failing miserably. Specter looked at Spike frustrated. If he didn't stop the boy, Spike would beat him before he even got to Dimension X. He signaled for the monkey by the keyboard to hit the X button.

XXX was typed and Specter signaled for the rest of his army to take Natalie and go through the portal.

"Spike! Jake! You idiots don't just stand there save me already!" Natalie said as she was being taken towards the portal.

Spike frowned, how could she call them idiots and then expect them to help her! Oh well Natalie was always like that, it was stupid to think she would ever change. He raced after Natalie who was almost thought the portal. But it was too late she was already through the portal, and it was closing behind the saru's and kidnapped girl.

"Natalie!" Spike yelled just barely getting through the portal.

Jake stared after them wide eyed. Knowing the war between humans and monkeys would soon take place right here in their home town, and also all over the world.

Everything that had happened had just been.......

The beginning

Well that was the first chapter. This is my version of the second game. I had come up with it way before the real second game had come out. Well I don't own any of the people from Ape Escape or PipoSaru; choose your pick of names. I only wish I could own Ape Escape (starts sobbing). Well until next time JA ne!

Extra information

If you don't know this whenever you raced Jake in Ape Escape you should notice that there are stars and things like that in the background. This is Dimension X, also where Specter's base was. You can tell that it's Dimension X if you look at the top in the level select screen it will say the time era as well as the levels name. Also I just made up the thing to open the portal to go to Dimension X. This takes place about a year afterwards around December. Everything in italics is their thoughts. When you see brackets its me interrupting. PipoSaru is the name for Ape Escape in Japanese. Pipo has to do with the sound the helmet makes, and saru means monkey.
