Chapter 9
The devil and the monkees
After being taken prisoner by the devil himself, the four monkees were locked away in a jail cell with restraints around their ankles. While the other three monkees complained about being locked up, over in a lonely corner sat their leader who for the first time in a long time felt like a complete and total failure.
Feeling broken because of how easily they had gotten caught by the devil,Mike knew that he had to get them out of there some how,which he was usually good with coming up with a plan that almost always worked but,had some how gotten better the day his sister came into their lives.
That was what was missing, his sister who he may or may not ever see again depending on what Mr. Zero had planned to do with them whenever he got his chance to carry out his revenge towards them for ruining his plan to take away peter's soul.
Growing bored with listening to micky and davy complain about being locked up, peter dragged his heavy chain with him as he walked over to where Mike had been sitting ever since they had arrived.
"Mind if I joined you?"asked Peter
" No."Mike sighed " Have a seat shotgun. "
" So this is like deja vu all over again huh?"said peter as he looked around the cell
"Sure does."said Mike
" I wonder what Mr. zero is planning to do to us because,of the last time we met him."said Peter
" I don't know peter, maybe im the one he wants since I probably pissed him off way more than y'all did."said Mike
" But why would he go after you more than us? What do you have that is different than giving him my soul? "Asked Peter
" That's easy."Micky said as he walked over to them "What's the one thing different from the last time we dealt with the old hot head?"
" Stephanie. " said Davy " Its Stephanie, she's what's different. "
" But what does steph have to do with it?"asked Peter
" Simple,steph is what makes Mike happy and happiness is the one thing that Mr. Zero cant stand."said Micky
" I get it."said davy " He wants Mike to suffer so,that's why we're here he must be planning to get to Stephanie some how."
" He aint gonna lay a hand on her, the only way he's ever gonna get to my sister is over my dead body."said Mike as he turned around
"Careful there Mike, that could probably be arranged. "Said Micky
While they were talking, they were suddenly joined by Mr. Zero and one of his minions. Pointing to Mike as the minion growled at micky, peter and Davy, Mr. Zero suddenly had a sinister smile upon his face as he watched all but mike trembling in fear.
Standing there as Mr. Zero unlocked the cell door, Mike didnt even flinch as the minion entered the cell and punched Mike hard in the stomach. Coughing as the blow took him by surprise, Mike remained standing as the others looked on.
" What's the matter smokey?You gotta send one of your goons to do your dirty work for ya?"Mike said as he tried to hide the pain
"Oh no Nesmith, im only just beginning. "said with a evil grin
" You know what you are smokey,i think you're nothing but a coward. "Said Mike " Know what that is exactly what you are,nothing but a big ol coward."
" So,you think I'm a coward is it?" Asked Mr. Zero "Perhaps I should show you just how cowardly I can be."
Whispering something to his minion, Zero then released mike from his chains and then the three of them disappeared. Worried about whether or not Mike would survive whatever was about to happen to him,Micky decided that they needed a plan to get out of there before its too late.
