Chapter 7

"What do you mean?" Harmony asked.

"I've been looking for you, Harmony." The strange purple girl said with a grin.

"How do you know my name?" The blonde haired girl raised an eyebrow.

"Harmony…get away from her!" Gillian said. At this, Harmony moved back a little and went to Gillian.

"Who are you?" Harmony growled.

"Why, I'm Rubella." The girl said. "I'm here for you, Harmony! I know almost everything about you! Come with me, and I'll explain everything."

"I don't trust you." Harmony replied. Rubella just frowned and got ready to fire another attack, but Chiro blocked it with one of his own.

"Stay away from her!" The teenage boy shouted. Rubella attacked again, and Chiro and Harmony jumped out of the way.

"Get Gillian inside!" Chiro said to his team. "Harmony, you need to get in there too!"

"No way! I'm sticking with you, Chiro!" Harmony put up her fists and got into a fighting stance.

"I'll help too, Chiro." Antauri got out his ghost claws. The other monkeys helped Gillian get inside the house. Rubella launched a purple beam at Antauri, who phased through it and used his monkey mind scream to stun the purple fox girl for a brief moment. Chiro used a Chiro Spearo that Rubella easily jumped over. The villain immediately turned to Harmony and launched a purple ring around her, making her trapped. Chiro used his thunder punch to keep Rubella from getting any closer.

"Whirling Destructo Saws!" Otto yelled as energy saw slid by Rubella.

"Ha! You missed!" She replied, but then the saw sliced the ring that was around the ring that trapped the blonde haired girl and Harmony gave Otto a smile. Rubella cried out in frustration and launched an attack at the green monkey. Otto was hit and flew backwards. Nova jumped out and used her giant fists to cause a rumble that made Rubella lose her balance. Then Sprx used his magna tingler blast and almost fried the enemy. Gibson finished it off with a spin shocker, and Rubella screamed as she was hit with the powerful attack.

"Thanks guys!" Harmony said. "You really are heroes!" But then they heard an evil laugh. Rubella got up and launched an energy ring at the ground, causing a powerful sand twister.

"I'll be back soon, Harmony! And don't forget it!" The fox girl said as she used another energy ring to summon a thick cloud of purple smoke to hide her escape.

"Hang on, guys!" Harmony dug her feet into the ground. The twister was very strong though, and all of the monkeys ended up being pulled into the vortex and blown away to different parts of the planet.

"No! Monkey team!" Chiro cried out, but it was too late.


"We have to find them!" The young boy said inside of the house.

"Chiro's right! Gillian, can I please help him?" Harmony asked her master. "Rubella badly hurt your arm. You need to stay and rest; besides, Chiro doesn't know the planet as well as us!"

"You know how I feel about you wandering off in that desert area." Gillian said to the young girl. Then she sighed. "But I guess we don't have much of a choice."

"Yay!" Harmony dashed off. "I'm going to grab some supplies!"

"Chiro…" Gillian said, "I have a bad feeling about this. Please protect Harmony."

"Of course, Gillian. I'll bring her back safely."

"You be careful too! This planet is a desert with two suns! It gets really hot during this time of day!"

"Oh no! Some of the monkeys are sick!" Harmony shouted when she walked back in and was carrying a backpack. "Otto, Gibson, and Nova have fevers. If they get too hot, then…"

"We have to hurry!" Chiro said. Harmony grabbed about four water bottles and the two teens ran out the door. Gillian was filled with worry.


"Ugh, what happened?" Sprx rubbed his head. He looked around. All he could see was sand for miles. He stood up and gazed at the desert.

"Oh great." He said. "I'm lost and alone on the hottest place ever." He could feel sweat running through his fur. "I have to find the others!"


Otto saw his brother, Gibson, laying down on a pile of sand up ahead.

"Gibson!" He called out. No reply. "Gibson! I'm coming!" The green monkey ran and rolled Gibson onto his back.

"Otto?" The blue simian slowly opened his eyes. "Where are we?"

"I have no clue! We're lost in this desert area! We have to find the others!" The green monkey looked around. Gibson slowly got up, but he had a bad headache, and he felt really hot.

"Come on, Gibson! My instincts are telling me to go this way!" Otto headed off into one direction, and Gibson slowly followed.


"Nova." Antauri gently shook the yellow monkey awake.

"Antauri? What's going on?" Nova asked as she sat up. "My head hurts."

"It appears that we were launched into a different part of the planet. We have to hurry and find the rest of the monkey team. The power primate is telling me that someone is close by."

"Well, let's hurry. I feel I'm sitting in an oven!" Nova wobbled a bit as she got up. Then she let Antauri lead the way.


"So, where should we head first?" Chiro asked. Harmony put on a blue visor with a wide brim.

"Hm…I think we should go…left!"The girl pointed into the direction.

"Why left?" Chiro asked.

"I like left! But I'm right handed." The blonde sighed in disappointment. Then the two teens headed into that direction, hoping instinct and luck were on their side!
