Pairings:

Gibson/Antauri

SPRX/Nova

Chiro/Jinmay

Otto/Mandarin

~~…~~

"How dare you?" Gibson shouted, "We trusted you to help us!"

Mandarin smiled shyly, "And trust me you should"

Gibson slammed against the door, "When I get out of here, you're the first thing I'm going to kill! You traitor! We trusted you!"

Mandarin sighed, leaving quickly, towards the Super Robot.

~~…~~

Antauri paced the common room, panicked, "Where could he be? He's nowhere in the City, and he's-"

"Antauri, calm down." SPRX tried to console him.

The silver monkey growled.

SPRX held his hands up, "Whoa, man, don't try to kill me, I'm just trying to help."

Antauri blinked, "Ah… I'm sorry, SPRX… I don't know what got into me."

Mandarin entered the room via Chiro's (It used to be his…) transport tube.

"I know where Gibson is."

~~…~~

Gibson threw himself on the door one last time, getting the same result as always. He fell to his knees and groaned.

"Antauri… please… come save me."

Dominic laughed, hearing this plea from the blue monkey.

"Soon he will be mine, and nothing can save him."

He yelped as he was tackled to the ground, purple ghost hands holding him to the ground by his throat.

"Hal is mine! Not yours!" He switched one hand back to its normal form and punched him as hard as he could.

"Gibson?" Otto asked.

"Otto?" The monkey slammed against the door again, "No! No, don't come in here! If I stay here, I won't be able to hurt any of you!"

Mandarin laughed, "Come on, Gibson."

"You traitor!"

"Traitor?" otto asked.

"Oh, that hurts. And after all the trouble I went through to find the perfect place to lock up Dominic until we can kill him."

Otto and SPRX pulled the door open. Antauri lifted the vampire up and threw him in before grabbing Gibson and pulling him close.

"I love you."

Gibson's eyes widened. He slowly lifted his hands, claws arched.

"Antauri…"

Mandarin and Nova grabbed the blue monkey, pulling him back. Chiro grabbed his hands, holding him back.

"Antauri, you can't forget that he's been infected." Mandarin told him."

Antauri sighed, "Right… sorry…"

Suddenly, laughter was heard from inside the cage.

"Oh, this is rich! I can't believe it! It survived! Even through death, it survived!"

Otto glared at the door, "What's so funny?"

Dominic caught his breath, "Even through dying… Antauri… still has the possessive mentality of a vampire!" He laughed.

"Liar!" Antauri barked, "It's impossible. This body possesses no blood, nor does it bear any remnants of my old form."

Dominic laughed again, "So… you wouldn't mind if Gibson left you for another?"

Antauri snarled, "Never!"

Dominic's laughter got worse, "He's still under my control! This is hilarious!"

"Let me go." Gibson growled, "Let me go!"

He pulled out of the grips restraining him, threw open the door, and quickly shut it behind him.

The laughter quickly ceased… replaced with horrific screams.

~~…~~

"Hal, you have to come out of there some time."

"Don't wanna. It's nice and dark in here. I can't see a thing."

Antauri sighed, "Come on. Maybe you're cured."

"Don't want to take that risk."

"I made cookies." Nova tried.

No reply.

"Otto and I are gonna turn your lab into an arcade."

"Have fun." Gibson told them.

"Dang…" Mandarin whistled.

"There you are!"

The orange simian yelped and hid behind Antauri.

"There who are?" Otto asked, turning around, "Oh… there Valeena are…"

The sorceress growled, "Come, mandarin, we have work to do."

"I'm not going back with you!" Mandarin snapped, "I'm finally free of Skeleton King! I'm going to stay that way!"

The Team all moved in front of the orange monkey.

"We're not going to let you take him." Chiro told her.

"Mandy's part of our family again." Otto smirked, "There's no way I'm going to just let you take him away from me."

~~…~~

Cliffhanger time!

Gibson killed Dominic!

You don't wanna see the inside of that cell… it's scary…

Gibson: -innocent smile-

Antauri: I'm officially scared of pissing you off now.

Mandarin: Thanks to EvilAntauri, srmthfgfan2009, Jasper Dragonfly, and Skaternova for the reviews!

Otto: I LOVES YOU ALL! :D

Chiro: Please review!

Otto: We love you opinions!

Mandarin: They bring Reza great joy!

SPRX: We hate your flames, though.

Nova: And I kill you if you send them.
