Chapter 1:

Transported

Donna's Point of View

I can do this.

I kept repeating those words to myself as I watched my stuck-up rival did the Vault perfectly. A lot from my team were cheering for her and gave her a group hug when she walked towards us, smiling oh-so perfectly. I was the only who didn't hug her. Not that I don't respect her but I need to keep my mind clear, try to relax. Unfortunately, my stuck-up rival and her entourage were walking towards me, smiling.

"Donna, don't you think my shot on the Vault was perfect?" She said, smiling innocently. But her eyes told another story. Her hazel green eyes told me something I'm too familiar with: she was better than me.

I was resisting the urge to punch the daylights out of her face. Sure, she is the number one gymnast in the Daybreak Elite Gymnastics Club and Coach Gonzales' favorite gymnast and the Queen of the Vault. But that doesn't mean she is better than everybody else.

I'm only second best to her in the Daybreak Elite Gymnastics Club and Coach Santos always gives me double training sessions. But that doesn't mean I don't like them. I kinda enjoyed my double training sessions with Coach and her son, Mark, who is also a year older than me, unlike the other gymnasts. And Coach even praises me every time I do the Floor and the Uneven Bars! So I guess me and my stuck-up rival are neck to neck in who's the best gymnast in the Daybreak, the very reason why we resent each other and the cause of our rivalry.

"Yeah, your shot on the Vault was perfect, Andrea." I said, sarcasm sticking to my voice.

But apparently, she didn't seem to notice it. She beamed at me. "Wait till the end of the Divisions and you'll see that I'm the best gymnast around, especially better than you. Come on, Valerie, Anna, let's go see who's next on the Vault."

Then she and her entourage walked off.

This time, I was so steamed that I wanted to punch that ridiculous look off her face. I clenched my fist and walked towards her when a strong grip held, restraining my movement. I calmed myself down and looked up to see Mark, looking at me with concern.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked me, releasing his grip.

I nodded. "Yeah. But if she dares say one more time that she's better than me, I'm gonna have to punch her in the face and there is no one who could stop me from doing that."

Mark smirked. "Feisty as usual, Donna."

I laughed bitterly. "I mean it, Mark. I mean it."

"Okay, I'm not holding you back anymore." Mark said, holding out his arms like he was surrendering.

I playfully punched him in the arm. "Yeah, thanks."

"Oh, I've got you something." Mark said, getting something out of his pocket. "Close your eyes."

I was confused but I did what he said. I felt something dangling around my neck and something slightly cold, too. When he told me to open them, I was shocked at what was dangling in my neck. It was a necklace with a silver butterfly dangling on it.

"Mark..." I said softly. I turned to him and hugged him, surprising him from my sudden act. "Thank you so much! I love it!"

He laughed. "Hey, no problem. Anything to show your optimistic side!"

"Paging: Donna Sade of the Daybreak Elite Gymnastics Club to the Vault. Again, Paging: Donna Sade of the Daybreak Elite Gymnastics Club to the Vault." The PA rang out the area and I sighed in frustration.

Mark smiled reassuringly. "Hey, don't worry. You'll do great."

"Thanks." I said as I jogged towards the Vault. A lot of my teammates were watching on the sidelines as someone set up the dimensions on the springboard. I started inhale and exhale slowly like I was doing meditation with Alex. As the person was done with setting the dimensions on the springboard, I took my place and relaxed myself. Then I ran through the runway and jumped on the springboard. I sprang onto the vault and placed my hands on it before I released my touch and did several twists and turns before I landed on the floor in the precise area of the landing zone, nearly out of the line. I regained my composure and smiled as the others clapped and cheered at my performance.

I looked up the scoreboard and my eyes widened in surprise. I scored a 9.8! That score was higher than Andrea. I was so stunned that I didn't noticed that Mark hugged me from behind and my teammates, excluding Andrea, Anna and Valerie, hugged me. When I finally returned to my senses, I hugged my team as Coach made her way through me, smiling with pride at me.

"Good job, Donna. I knew you could do it." Coach said with pride.

I smiled proudly. "No problem, Coach."

Then, the judges decided to announced the Top Four in the Divisions.

"Ahem, may I have your attention, please?" Therese Velez said and the everyone quiet down. "Thank you. First of all, I wanted to thank all of those who competed here tonight. Your performance was absolutely amazing but I, along with Francis Stone and Frederick Olson, we are proud to announce the Top Four."

Therese accepted the envelope from Frederick and opened it. "In fourth place, Courtney Rivera from the Emera Grove Gymnastics Club."

There was cheering from the Emera side and Courtney stepped out from her team, smiling with pure joy, as she went up the stage and accepted a bouquet of yellow roses.

"In third place, Lisa Brown from the Silver Dragon Gymnastics Club."

The Silver Dragon were cheering and clapping hard as Lisa made her way to the stage and accepted the bouquet of green roses.

"In second place, Donna Sade of the Daybreak Elite Gymnastics Club."

I was stunned as my teammates engulfed me in a group hug until I can't breathe, that was when they released me and let go up stage to get my bouquet. When I got up stage, Therese smiled at me proudly and gave me a bouquet of pink roses. "Congratulations."

"Thanks." I said breathlessly as I joined Courtney and Lisa.

"And finally, the moment you've all been waiting for. In first place, Andrea Brito of the Daybreak Elite Gymnastics Club." Therese said as my team cheered and clapped as Andrea made her way to the stage and accepted a huge bouquet of red roses. Of course she'd win first place. I thought bitterly as she went to my side. The four of us smiled and bowed before we went to our respective teams.

"Congratulations, both of you. You guys keep making me and the team proud!" Coach said and hugged us both.

"Don't worry, Coach. We'll make you proud of us always." Andrea said with pride.

I hate to do this but I also nodded. "Ditto."

After Coach released us from the hug, Andrea gave me a mocking look before she head out with her 'secret' boyfriend, Jaff. I felt like I wanted to puke as Andrea kissed Jaff passionately. I quickly ran outside to breathe some fresh air. Then, I fished out my cellphone.

To: Alex Reyes

Hey, I won second place! Though stuck-up rival did first but at least won second, right? Oh, I'll meet you and the gurlz later at your place. Seven-ish like you promise, k?

I pressed 'Send' and placed my cellphone to my pocket of my jogging pants as I walked on the sidewalk to Alex's place. The starry sky was beautiful and the cool breeze was relaxing. Then something was vibrating. I fished out my cellphone again and I saw that I have received a text message from Alex.

Fr: Alex Reyes

M'kay. Invented a new invention. U gotta come here and see it! Euliel and Rachelle r here. Congratz by da way.

I smiled and continued my pace. For about fifteen minutes, I made it to Alex's place. When I opened the door, I heard Alex and Euliel yelling over something upstairs. I sgihed and went up to see what they are yelling at.

"I'm not crazy! I'm sure this would work!" Alex yelled at Euliel the moment I entered the room.

"Oh yeah? I'd like to see try!" Euliel retorted back.

"I know this would work! Trust me!" Alex countered back.

"What are they all yelling about?" I asked Rachelle.

Rachelle shrugged. "Euliel says that Alex's invention wouldn't work 'cause it uses a lot of complicated Math problems and you know that Alex is terrible at Math -"

"Hey!" Alex said, angry. "I'm doing better y'know!"

Rachelle ignored her comment. "- but Alex insisted that her latest invention would work and they kept yelling at each other and then you're here. Oh, by the way, congrats for winning second place, although I hated the fact that Andrea won first."

I beamed. "Thanks. So, Alex, what's your latest invention?"

"Behold! The Dimensional Transporter!" Alex said dramatically as she remove the sheet covering the weird-looking machine.

"Whoa..." The three of us whispered in awe as we stare at the machine that look like it came from the future.

"How does it work?" Euliel asked.

Alex smiled. "Simple. I turn on the switch and the vortex in the middle starts swirling in a bluish light color and that's the time we can go inside and travel across the dimension."

"But where do we get transported?" I asked her.

"Somewhere in Earth. Although I'm working on a few kinks." Alex said nonchalantly. Then she turned on the switch and she smiled in satisfaction as the machine began to work.

The three of us still stared in awe until I noticed something.

"Euliel! Rachelle! Alex!" I yelled for their attention. The trio stared at me before they looked at their feet and that's when they noticed that the vortex is sucking us in. They looked at me again and the four of us all think of the same thing. "RUN!"

We tried to run but it was too late. The vortex sucked us in.

Third Person's Point of View

It was months after the Hyper Force defeated Skeleton King. The sun was shining brightly and everyone in the city of Shuggazoom were doing their usual bussiness. Chiro smiled as he glanced at everyone in the city, all looking happy and cheerful. Everything was going back to normal or if not, has changed for the better! Chiro thought until he made it to the lake and saw a weird-looking bluish circle above it, glowing brightly.

Chiro just stood there, staring at it until a girl popped out of it and fell face first to the lake.

I'd better call the team. Chiro thought as he attempted to use his communicator but all he got was a static. Well, whoever made that thing must be interfering with the signal.

Then, something else fell from the portal, as Chiro decided to call it. Three robotic monkeys fell from it and landed on top of the girl.

"Get...off...of...me..." The girl said as she struggled to get off the robotic monkeys that were lying on top of her. When the robotic simians noticed that they were suffocating the girl in the water they slowly get off of her and made a circle around her.

"Where are we?" The first robotic simian, the one with silver fur and raven black eyes, said, feeling quite dizzy. "Well, this place doesn't look like anything from Earth."

The second robotic simian, the one with cerulean blue fur and dark green eyes, pointed at the first robotic simian, looking awfully furious. "Alex! You transported us to another dimension! I can't believe that you-"

She broke in mid-sentence and took a look on her reflection on the lake then she screamed. "Ah! We've got turned into robotic monkeys!"

The third one, the one with golden yellow fur and crimson red eyes, shrugged and pointed at the girl. "Well, except for Donna over here."

The girl shrugged. "I don't even know why I didn't get turned into like you guys."

The blue simian placed her hand under her chin and think. "Well, maybe we could reverse the effect once we go back the portal again."

The rest of them nodded. "Good idea."

But once they looked up, the portal slammed shut.

"Alex!" The blue simian yelled at the silver one, completely furious. "That was our only way back home!"

The one named Alex blinked. "Sorry. Maybe I could build another one. I mean, it's not so hard and-"

The blue simian glared at her. "And where are we going to get the parts for your portal generator or something?"

This time, Alex looked furious. "First of all, it's called Dimensional Transporter. Second, we can raid from the garbage for some spare parts. This is a high-tech city! Don't be so pessimistic Euliel!"

This time the one called Euliel and Alex began fighting, with the yellow simian and the girl called Donna holding them back.

Okay, this has gone crazy enough! Chiro thought and decided to intervened. "Hey! You two, stop fighting!"

At that moment, the four of them turned to Chiro.

"Okay, who are you?" Donna asked. "And where are we?"

"You guys are in Shuggazoom City and my name's Chiro." Chiro said.

"Chiro, huh? That's a unique name." Donna said thoughtfully.

"Chiro!"

The five of them looked up and saw a group of five robotic simians landing a few feet from them. There was a red one, a green one, a blue one, a yellow one and a silver one respectively.

The silver one looked from Donna, to Alex, to Euliel and to the yellow simian then back to Chiro. "Chiro, who are they?"

"Holy shit!" The yellow one exclaimed in shock.

"Really Rachelle." Donna said dryly. "Do I have to remind you to mind your mouth.

"Sorry." The one called Rachelle blushed slightly.

And from the looks on their faces, the four of them were thinking the same thing. Where the heck are we?

~o~o~o~o~o~

"This is not happening!" Euliel said furiously and turned to Alex. "If you hadn't turned on the switch, none of this would have happened!"

Alex looked offended but she didn't showed it. "Hey, I said I was working on a few kinks! Besides, it's not like you could build a Dimensional Transporter!"

The two of them began bickering then began shouting at each other until they have an all-out fighting with Donna and Rachelle looking at the sidelines until someone decided to intervene.

"Will you two stop?" Nova yelled, catching the attention of everyone.

"Um, Antauri."

Antauri looked at Chiro. "Yes, Chiro?"

"This may sound crazy but they came out of this portal thing."

Antauri considered this for a moment and looked at them. The girl was maybe around Chiro's age. But the three robotic simians, he is sure that they weren't simians before.

"Where are you three from?"

Donna crossed her arms. "Earth."

Antauri nodded. "What are your names?"

"Donna." Donna said with no emotion.

"Alex." Alex said warily, looking suspiciously at him.

"Euliel." Euliel sighed and gazed at the sky.

"Rachelle." Rachelle shrugged.

Antauri looked at them again. "Chiro said you four came out of the portal, is this true?"

Donna nodded. "Yes."

"How did you exactly built it? A spell of some sort?"

Alex laughed bitterly. "No. I built it myself."

Euliel scoffed. "Yeah, and you turned it on and got us all sucked in here."

"That's it!" Alex yelled and pounced on Euliel resulting to fight.

"Cat fight!" Sprx called out while Donna and Rachelle tried to pull them out.

"Okay, we're taking them to the Super Robot for interrogation, which Gibson here would have to question them." Chiro said, pointing at Gibson. "Alright, let's head out team. And also you four."
