Chapter 7

Of course the green simian's curiosity eventually got the better of him. But you have to admit, if you saw some suspicious purple powder on the floor in the garage, you'd want to check it out, right?

Otto was working on the aircraft diligently. He arrived with Chiro and Jinmay only an hour ago, when suddenly he saw a violet substance on the ground. He leaped down and went to check it out. There was no smell to it, but the color was a bit familiar. He scratched his head and saw another spot of purple powder on the floor…and another…and another… Where was it coming from? He wasn't sure if he should check it out or not, but he wanted to know what it was, so he followed the trail of spots to the corner of the garage. The path stopped and led to a couple footprints made in the purple powder.

"That's weird…" He said aloud. Suddenly there was a bang and the green simian fell unconscious with a visible dent in his helmet. Then someone picked him up and escaped the building through a vent.

"One down…two to go…" The figure said.

"We're done!" Harmony cheered. "Yes, we're done! We're finally done!"

"The fist rocket 4 is up and running again!" Gibson placed all the tools back into the tool box and went with Harmony to put the container away.

Suddenly a crash was heard in the robot's main room.

"Talk about perfect timing!" Harmony said. The two ran into the main room to meet up with Antauri, Sprx, and Nova, who also heard the noise.

"What's going on?" Nova asked.

"Harmony, be careful! We don't want you to get hurt!" Antauri said.

"I can protect myself, you know." The girl revealed the crystals she grew onto her arm as proof. A thick cloud of purple smoke appeared from one of the pipes above and they stepped back.

"Someone's infiltrated the robot!" Gibson pointed at one of the rooms in the robot. The intruder stepped through the doors and revealed themself.

"YOU!" Harmony exclaimed.

"Yes, I see you remember me." Rubella stepped into the main room. The robot monkeys got their weapons ready. The villain just smirked and swished her purple tail back and forth.

"Why are you here?" Antauri asked, but he already guessed what the answer was.

"I'm here for her of course." Rubella pointed a hand at Harmony. The girl just stepped back.

"Well, you can't have her!" Sprx answered. "So you can leave, or you can prepare to have your butt kicked!"

"We'll see who's the one with their butts kicked in a second…" Rubella formed purple energy attacks with her hands and threw them. The team and the girl just dodged and got ready to send some attacks of their own.

"MONKEY MIND SCREAM!" Antauri sent the energy wave at Rubella. The villain shook it off and blasted the silver simian with an energy beam.

"LADY TOMAHAWK!" Nova landed a punch in Rubella's side, but then she kicked the yellow monkey across the room.

"MAGNA BALL BLAZER!" Sprx sent a ball of electricity at the fox girl, who slid out of the way.

"SPIN SHOCKER!" Gibson zapped the enemy with a wave of electricity. Rubella cried out and fell to the floor, but then she formed another energy wave and tried to hit the blue simian. Harmony snuck up from behind and slammed Rubella in the back with a red crystal covered arm.

"YOU'RE MINE!" Rubella growled and attacked the blonde. The two broke out in a fist fight, but Harmony had the upper hand using her crystals as armor. Then a wide grin spread across the villain's face. She formed an aura of purple energy around her body and grabbed Harmony's arms. The two different powers caused an explosion being so close and Harmony was thrown across the room unconscious. Rubella ran over to grab her, but was slashed by Antauri's claws. She stepped back but was cornered by Nova, Sprx, and Gibson. She sent a large attack that threw them all away. She dashed over and grabbed Gibson and then Harmony and ran out of the robot.

"No! She got away!" Sprx exclaimed.

"We have to contact Chiro!" Antauri transformed his ears into communicators. "Antauri to Chiro. Come in Chiro."

"Antauri!" Chiro said. "What's going on?"

"It's Rubella! She's returned and she took Harmony and Gibson!"

"What? But we beat her! She was gone!" The boy shouted.

"Chiro!" Jinmay ran over. "We can't find Otto! He's not working on the aircrafts and we can't find him anywhere else in the building!"

"But we can't leave without him!" Chiro said.

"Leave?" Jinmay asked.

"You remember the story of how we met Harmony and how we got rid of that purple fox girl?"

"Yeah?"

"She's returned and we have to head back. She kidnapped Harmony and Gibson."

"Oh no!"

"We'll be over there in a bit Antauri! We just have to find Otto!" Chiro turned off his communicator and helped with the search, but after a few minutes, the results were that Otto was gone. He was nowhere to be found in the building, so Jinmay and Chiro ended up running back to the robot without the green simian.

"You're not gonna like this, Chiro." Nova had pulled a large image up on the screen. It was a colossal pale green structure floating far out in space.

"The Citadel of Bone!" The teen exclaimed.

"Something weird is going on." Sprx said. "I don't think this is a coincidence that the bone bag's ship magically appears the same time Rubella comes and attacks!"

"Sprx is right." Antauri added. "Something is very wrong. I sense it in the Power Primate."

"We have to stop Rubella." Chiro said.

"One of our beacons picked up Gibson's location." Nova replied. "The Citadel of Bone is where Rubella took them."

"Then let's go team! Monkeys Mobilize!"

Pikuro: Sorry it took so long. Please review! And remember, this is the sequel to "Monkey Flu"! ^w^ So we will come upon references to that story soon (other then Rubella)
