Chapter 7

The Power Primate was weakening. He could sense it. He didn't know what to do. He was the next target for those fish creatures. The silver simian sat down in the med bay. What could he do? He had to find a way to keep Chiro safe. But what if Chiro needed him? The boy was injured and a bit sick right now! He couldn't leave! But if he stayed, he may get taken over. What would happen to Chiro then? How could he protect his son?

Antauri sighed and began to meditate. Although the power primate was weak, he was still able to float. There had to be an answer. Suddenly his mind went somewhere new. It was a dark void. There, he saw a similar figure. It was Master Xan.

"Hello Antauri…" The face was hidden by a mask once again.

"Master Xan…what are you doing? You were dead!"

"No, we are always alive in the Power Primate. So, you defeated the Skeleton King…"

"Yes, we did! You and the others were wrong!"

"Or were we? There is a way for him to come back and then he shall rule!"

"No…he's gone…"

"For now, but once we have all the Power Primate corrupted, he will return once again!"

"You will not succeed…"

"Oh yes I will…"

Suddenly a jolt of pain went through Antauri's body. He went out of meditation and found that something was sticking to his face! The koi fish, with a white spot on its back, was trying to fuse with him. Antauri struggled and tried to break free, but suddenly everything began to go black. The silver simian's eyes went blank as he walked over to one of the med bay tables. His claws came out and lifted into the air. Chiro was on the table unconscious. He had no sense of the nearby danger. Suddenly Antauri screamed as he placed his hands on his head.

"NO!" He cried out in pain. His body began to glow and lifted into the air! Then his blue eyes turned green as energy released from his body. The koi fish lay on the floor dead. Antauri began to pant as he was lying on the floor. Even though he was completely robotic, he still felt pain through his body. He closed his eyes. Finally, it was over.

Then he heard a noise. He snapped one of his eyes open and found the koi fish was changing shape! The silver simian gasped as the fish turned into what looked like a combination of all the transformations of the other monkeys! It was a tall thin figure with long sharp claws (if anyone has ever played/heard of the game Left 4 Dead, they are like the claws on "the Witch") and spikes on its back and tail. It didn't really have fur but seemed to be formed from ooze, which dripped from its huge fangs. It growled and began to leap onto the table Chiro was on, but Antauri jumped over and grabbed the boy first! Then the monkey carried his son and they zoomed through a nearby vent to escape!

Eventually he made it to his own room. He set Chiro down in the corner and used his telekinetic powers to seal the vent they came out of. He ran over to the door and slammed it shut. Then Antauri stopped to catch his breath. What could he do? His body was almost crushed by Gibson's transformation, Chiro and the rest of the team were out cold, and this last creature was on its way to get Chiro right now! He pulled out his ghost claws and sensed where the monster was. It was walking out of the med bay. The silver simian tried to think of something. He phased out of his room and climbed up the walls of the robot.

The enemy creature made a weird gloopy noise as it walked down the hall. It sensed that the source of power primate was close by. Slowly it walked toward one of the rooms when suddenly…

BANG! A pipe fell from the ceiling! It fell onto the monster and stuck to the creature's head. It looked up and saw Antauri. Then it removed the pipe and tossed it back up at the robot monkey. It made a gurgling screech as Antauri dodged the attack. Then the silver simian jumped down and spun, using his ghost claws to make the creature spurt ooze everywhere. As it began to regenerate, he ran from his room and the enemy followed him.

Antauri formed crescent shaped energy attacks and threw them at the enemy, but they just went through its blob like form. Then the creature pounced and used its claws to slice Antauri's robot body open! The silver simian kicked and struggled until the creature was sent back with a hit in the jaw. Antauri got up and ran as quickly as possible toward the room with the neutron generator. There was oil leaking from his body and his energy began to run out. The creature ran into the room and lunged at him.

Antauri leaped out of the way and pressed all four buttons on the neutron generator.

Danger! Neutron Generator overload! Commencing detonation sequence! The computer said. Then the generator began to beep. The monster suddenly grabbed Antauri and used its claws to slash him open even more. It tore at his wires and other electronic parts as he cried out and tried to break free from its grasp! The silver monkey used his ghost claws to slash the monster away once more! Then he sealed the door to the room of the neutron generator and leaped through another vent. The generator exploded, but Antauri wasn't injured by it due to the vent being disconnected from the large pipe that had fallen on Gibson earlier. A large puff of smoke came from the room and a muffled screech.

"Finally…it's over…" Antauri sighed. But then he looked up at the door and saw the ooze creature break it down. The silver simian couldn't believe it! How did it survive? Then he heard another noise from the back of the room.

"Antauri?" Chiro was supporting himself on the wall and he was in hyper mode.

"CHIRO NO! YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Antauri exclaimed. But the monster saw the boy and immediately jumped over to attack. The robot monkey tried to get up but he couldn't! There wasn't enough energy left in him.

"MONKEY FU!" Chiro released the power primate from his body and stopped the monster in its tracks. It began to dissolve.

NO! Antauri could've sworn he heard Master Xan cry out. But the creature was gone. Chiro, still weak, ran over to Antauri.

"Antauri, are you alright?" He looked as if he was about to cry.

"I'm fine Chiro…" The silver monkey said. He was glad that it was over. "Are you alright?"

"I've been better." The teen wrapped his arms around his dad. "We have to get you fixed…Antauri?"

However, Antauri had become very dizzy. He ran out of energy, most of his robotic parts were ripped apart, and oil was spilled out of his whole body. He began to black out.
