Chapter 3: Far beyond reality

Cold winds hit against the albino's white hair, his red eyes glaring at a certain yellow haired monkey. Three other monkeys on his left also gave angry looks at him. Then Monkey Yellow broke the silence." I said I'm sorry for farting! What else do I have to apologize for?" he cried as a old white haired monkey wearing a lab coat came back with wood." For eating all the food last week and breaking all the windows with your burping! When Specter said get rid of your habits, he didn't mean do it literately! Because of that, we're out here freezing!" Monkey White yelled at him as Monkey Red nodded in agreement, icicles hanging from his ears and nose.

Monkey Pink and Specter were huddling together to keep warmth from the chilling winds. In Specter's arms with a dark pink blanket was a female albino monkey. Her crimson eyes looking around, filled with curiosity with her thumb in her mouth. She had hair covering her right eye just like her father. This second child was born three months ago before this incident. At this point, Specter decided that two kids would be enough. On the day she was born, he and Pink weren't sure what to name her till she burned Red monkey's poster with flames. It was agreed that her name was Ember, known for her ability to create flames.

Suddenly it hit Specter when he looked around at everyone. Where's Saru and Blue tail? They were playing in the sand a few minutes before everyone went silent after arguing about Pink's habit of texting on her phone." I'll be right back, honey. Gotta find Saru before he does something stupid!" he whispered, gently put Ember in Pink's arms and ran off.

Meanwhile...

The gray tom watched the pebbles floating in a circle from above. Saru kept his focus on his psychic powers to the minerals, ignoring the waves crashing on the shore. Ever since he helped his father escape from that zoo, Saru knew that the event would happen again. That's why he needs get strong before that day comes. Each minute, each second, the event seems to get closer to the present." Very impressive. To think Specter passed his powers down to his son...well, not one of them," a familiar voice, but bitter. He jumped, causing the pebbles to fall to the sand. At first, it sounded like his father, but turned to find a black haired monkey in a brown coat. Blue tail jumped on its paws, his fur bristling with warning." Who are you?" the small albino asked with fear. The monkey snickered as a spark of electricity charged at the tip of his finger." You'll know soon enough after your daddy gets here. But since he's not here, I think I'll have a short warm up on you before I have to deal with him," he sneered and punched him.

Saru was sent tumbling in the sand and Blue tail tried pouncing on him, but ends up crashing on the ground, face-plant! The little albino monkey looked up as the dark creature aimed at him with the charged hand." I'll make this quick and painless as possible. Don't worry about your father. He'll be joining you...after I give him a long and painful death," he snickered once more and shot the bolt of lightning at him. Saru quickly shut his eyes and waited for the pain to come.

Nothing happened.

Saru opened his eyes and sees the electricity avoiding him, hitting the sea. The monkey chuckled, glancing from his shoulder. Standing few inches away from behind was an albino wearing a suit with hair covering his right eye. It was his father, Specter! Blue aura on his hands glowed as a tentacle of sea water tried to whip the monkey, but missed." Just in time, Specter. I would have wasted my energy on your pitiful son by then!" he muttered as the tentacle disappeared." Listen here, you bastard! I'm not letting you kill my son and get away with it! Who are you and why are you here?" Specter growled as the monkey to five steps toward him." My reason here involves you and this damn planet. My name is Storm and its time to settle this once and for all, you faker!" he replied angrily as the albino flinched. * Faker? Sounds just like me? Who is he?* he thought and asked," Faker? What are you talking about?" with narrow eyes.

Storm's smug grin faded with a scowl." Its obvious that you hadn't sense it, but I'm not from your world. I come from a parallel universe similar to here. Everyone you know has different personalities compared to mine. But there's something that seemed...too similar. And that's where you get in the picture," he paused for a moment and continued." Your personality is too similar, causing the two dimensions to be more then just parallel and its becoming a nuisance!" he explained. Saru and Blue tail tried sneaking off, but a spark of electricity popped as warning. Specter stared in disbelief," I see that their opposite and all, but how is it that an 'anti-me' stays the same? I thought bad becomes good? But most importantly, how do you know about me?" he questioned, trying to dig further into this.

The monkey grunted with fury in his amber eyes!" How do I know all of this and about you? Because I am your anti version!" and with that, he shoot bolts at his shocked dimensional self. The albino deflected it back, but countered it to the air. Specter lifted boulders in the air with his psychic and launched them toward Storm. His eyes widen when the monkey vanished in to thin air! " You gotta be more quicker if you want fight me," a cold voice whispered from behind, making a chill crawl down his spine. Storm's left hand was charged with electricity and punched him, sending Specter flying and landing on the ground harshly. Specter got to his knee, breathing rapidly with blood on the edge of his mouth. Storm approached once again and laid another hit, causing the albino flying again, only farther.

Back with the others...

Monkey Pink gazed at the direction her mate left hours ago." Specter hasn't been back with Saru for hours. What's taking him so long?" she said worried for their safety." Probably Blue tail is dragging them down again as always," White suggested, keeping the fire burning. Monkey Red was throwing rocks at the sea as Yellow was fast asleep. The female monkey spotted two figures running toward them. It was Saru and Blue tail...but where's Specter? Pink gave Ember to Red and ran toward the two with White following." SARU! Do you realize how worried I was? Where's your father?" she cried as her son glanced the direction Specter was fighting with Storm." Dad is fighting with this monkey who wants to kill him," he explained, still remembering his words about him.

Suddenly lightning began hitting the sky and waves began rising higher." This stuff reminds me of that movie where this monster was going to end the world, but the hero couldn't beat him the first time. On the second time, the villain was on his side and they defeated the monster!" Red muttered as White glared." Does this look like a movie? Our leader is getting beaten to a pulp and your here blabbing about a stupid movie! This is nothing compared to it," he growled as they spotted Specter landing hard on the ground. The struggling albino got up, his right arm hanging with his other arm supporting it. Blood was racing down his forehead and arms, his red eyes scanning around him. Before Pink could call out, Storm appeared in front of the leader and grabbed his neck. The group watched in horror as they watched Specter getting choked by his anti self." Now we'll see who's the real one after you're parasitic life is terminated! Sayonara, Specter!" he hissed as Specter glanced at everyone faces and looked into the monkey's eyes.

I guess this is it...

I've should have guess stealing that stupid helmet was a bad idea...

Makes me regret all the things I've said to everyone...I'm sorry for everything..a-and,

I love you, Pink. You meant to me more then I expected back then...

Specter could feel tiny amount of oxygen left and glanced one more time at everyone with sympathetic eyes.* goodbye* was the only thing in his mind till...

WHAM!

Storm got separated from Specter by a blue stun-club! The albino gasped for air as he looked up to find his arch-enemy standing there to help! He chuckled at that." I didn't expect you to save me...," he rasped as the spiked-haired teen looked down with a grin." Your lucky that I saved your ass since Jimmy ran into this freak earlier," Spike chuckled back as everyone got relaxed that their leader survived. Storm glared at the two, his amber eyes burned in rage." You dare interfere my plots of preventing the monster to consume our worlds! I'M GOING TO-!" but cut off by blue flames from a purple haired monkey balancing on a palm tree.

She wore a purple long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. Her short purple hair was blown gently from the wind as her pink-reddish eyes gazed at him." Dammit, Crystal! Why the hell did you stop me for?" he yelled as the monkey sighed calmly." We'll deal with these fools later! I can sense him growing stronger and this world is beginning to grow dark energy from the effects. We have to check our world if its doing the same thing!" she replied as Storm grunted and pointed at his dimensional self." Don't think you're free from here. Sooner or later after I return to this world, I WILL KILL YOU!" he sweared as he disappeared in bright blue light. Before Crystal could teleport back, she narrowed her eyes at Monkey Pink, who was watching as well with wide eyes." You in the pink dress, Monkey Pink if I presume. You better watch your back because I'm here with a similar reason! You and Specter better be prepare for that, one on one!" her voice echoed as she teleported with evil laughter.

Everyone stayed silent, looking from Pink to Specter like as if they knew something about this nonsense. They ignored the stares and kept their gaze at where their antiselfs left from. They, too, want an answer for this mystery.


Me: Holy shit that was a long chapter! Four will be coming up shortly and yes there was another character.
