Ha, next Chapter on the next the.

Antauri: Impressive. I'd say you should keep that up.

Sean: Yeah, you really should.

Antauri2: I agree.

Chiro2: Me too.

Gibson2: Indeed.

Ahwwww, thanks guys. I (Portal opens above everyone) WTF!

Midnight: What is happening.

(scream from the portal, then Chiro and Jinmay fall out)

Chiro: What the hell...Jinmay i said, don't mess with Gibson's Spell-Book.

Jinmay: (grinns sheepishly) Sorry.

Antauri: Chiro! Jinmay!

Chiro: Antauri! Sean! (runs forward and hugs both)

Sean: EvA what the...

I didn't do that, really! It's as confusing to me as to you, not to mention strange.

Antauri2: Strange, indeed.

Chiro: WTF...Why are there two versions of Antauri...and me too.

Sean: Long story. But for now. SRMTHFG doesn't belong to EvA.

Antauri: The OC's do.

Gibson2: Read and Review please.

"Shouldn't we start worrying?", asked Midnight?

Antauri looked up from his mediation and checked the time. The boy had been gone for about an hour. He too started worrying. Looking around he found worried expressions on everybody's faces.

"Have you tried to communicate with him?", asked Antauri's Counterpart Gibson. Gibson nodded as answer, then Antauri murmured: "I seem to recall…do you have a special frequency to reach Chiro? He should be able to answer us then." Everyone looked at him and he answered: "Just a suggestion. Our Jinmay has a special frequency. We just use it in urgent emergencies, but sometimes we use it."

It was silent shortly, then Gibson answered: "I believe he has. But I have to find it."

"Just try it", urged Antauri's counterpart. The other black monkey nodded. Gibson nodded back and started to type in different codes. Antauri swallowed a nervous sigh, when he suddenly felt panicked waves from the Power Primate.

What the...that's…Sean! Darting up he dashed to the med-bay. "Sean!", yelled the black monkey. Strange sounds reached him from the med-bay and he tried to open the door. It wouldn't budge. Dammit, Sean! Thinking fast, Antauri activated his ghost-mode and tried to phase through the door. But he got electrified and thrown back .Turning back to normal, he crashed against a wall with a scream. His counterpart helped him up and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Something's happening in there", answered Antauri with a growl.

"What?"

"Something is happening. I can't say what. Sean's Power Primate is sending out strange waves."

His counterpart closed his eyes and frowned. "That most certainly is strange." Both jerked into the air when something broke apart in there.

"Why doesn't the door open?", asked Antauri.

"Gibson blocked every door where anyone is resting."

"And why is a force-field around it?"

"You know that?"

"It shocked me."

"How come?"

"That's not the time to ask about my powers. I need to get in there!"

"I can shut down the force-field for about five minutes."

Antauri stared shortly, but decided not to ask how at the moment. "Do it." His counterpart nodded and a computer appeared out of a wall.

"Strange", muttered the yellowish-green eyed monkey at what happened. Antauri swallowed an explanation while he watched the other typing in a few codes. Suddenly he stated: "Alright, don't forget, five minutes or you can't get out. I can't open the doors."

"Doesn't matter."

"Alright…three…two…one…go!"

Antauri leaped forward, his ghost-mode flashing on in less than a heartbeat. Leaping directly through the door, he almost screamed. Sean floated at the ceiling, gasping heavily. Blood and sweat dripped to the ground. And under him was… Antauri almost screamed at the feeling of déjà-vu he had. Sprx stared up at the green eyed monkey. But not the normal Sprx, but in the form Antauri feared. His black eyes held red pupils, his fur was pale and greyish and from his fangs dripped sticky greenish salvia. The red monkey seemed to have smelled him, since he spun around and roared at him. Antauri took a step back, then leaped to the side since Sprx leaped at him.

"Father", exclaimed Sean and was about to dive down, when Antauri shouted: "Stay up there, no matter what happens, don't come down until I allow it!"

Sean froze and stared at him. Antauri felt guilty for using such a hard tone on his son, but the younger monkey had to understand what this situation was about. Spinning around, he caught Sprx magnets and kicked the red monkey in the gut. Sprx groaned, however stood his ground and tried to get forward. Antauri grunted. He couldn't remember Sprx having so much strength.

Is it the infection?, wondered Antauri while he tried to push Sprx away. The red monkey's salvia got to close to him for his liking. Gathering his strength, he unleashed a Monkey-Mind-Scream. Sprx got thrown back and crashed into a corner. Immediately Antauri blocked his way, then something landed atop him.

"Gah!"

His arms were pinned over his head and he screamed when he looked up. Sean's eyes held a reddish shine and he saw a little bit of the green salvia on his son's fur.

"S-Sean snap out of it!", yelled Antauri while he heard Sprx, banging against the blockade. His son blinked and his eyes returned to their normal green.

"F-Father?" Immediately Antauri took action and pinned his son down. "Father what the…"

"Hold still", hissed Antauri and activated his claws. "I need to get this stuff off of your fur!"

"Stuff?" Antauri ignored the question and carefully removed the salvia from Sean's fur. "Sean listen carefully." His son nodded, seriousness in his eyes. "A monster is roaming Shugazooms streets. Its gaze turns everyone into minions, like Sprx. The salvia can infect as well. You had a bit of it on your fur. So you might partly have reactions and thoughts you wouldn't have normally, do you understand?" Sean nodded and Antauri pulled him up. "I'll phase us out, we don't have much time…AH!"

Antauri screamed when fangs dug into his tail. Glancing back he gasped. Sprx loomed over his tail, his salvia dripping into the wound. The black monkey groaned in pain when the infection rushed through his body with his blood.

"F-Father?", whispered Sean.

Antauri grabbed his son's arm and whispered: "Sean…whatever you do…make sure the force-field around the med-bay doesn't give in. And…don't give into the infection. They'll...need you."

"Father…what are you talking about. You…"

Sean broke off when Antauri activated his ghost mode and whirled him out of the med-bay. Then the black monkey pulled his arm back and all his Powers somehow deactivated. Slumping down he groaned at the pain he felt. It was worse than last time, since the salvia was truly inside off him. I…I can't give up y-yet, thought the black monkey while he tried to fight the infection down. The…five minutes aren't up yet.

He had no idea if his ghost-mode would work when he lost the fight, but wasn't ready to take any risk. As long as the force-field was deactivated, he wouldn't allow himself to give in. Groaning at the pain that surged through him with every movement, he managed to sit up and leaned against one examination table. Sprx stared at him and Antauri smirked weakly.

"I'm…not down y-yet", whispered the black monkey to the red one. The red monkey seemed truly confused. He surely had expected that Antauri would turn immediately.

That makes me…wonder. How…did they infect Glenny back there anyway?, thought Antauri. He tried to distract himself from the pain and his slipping control. Suddenly he heard breathing nearby and groaned. How many of them were in here? Otto had shown up as well, staring at him too. "How...did you even get…in h-here?", asked Antauri confused. Against to what he expected, Otto grunted and pointed to the ventilation system. The black monkey laughed weakly. Ironic that what helped him, Chiro and BT to flee, now helped them to get in.

Unfortunately they were stuck in the med-bay and the moment the force-field was activated, Antauri wouldn't be able to get them out either. He groaned when pain rushed through him once again. Barely managing to keep his eyes open, he glanced to one of the healing tubes and a weak laugh escaped him. His body seemed stuck somewhere in between.

His eyes already glowed red and he saw long fangs in his mouth. His fur had paled a bit and gotten a greenish shine. Gasping hard, he allowed his head to fall back. He stared up to the ceiling while his vision became blurry. Suddenly he heard something and smiled. The force-field had powered up again. Then pain rushed through him once again. A strange feeling spread through him as well.

He felt…Power.

An incredible Power surged through his whole body. What...is happening?, wondered the black monkey and thought back to when he almost lost control in the past and when the eyes finally turned him. He remembered what he'd felt until the transformation was complete and he'd never felt such a Power. "What…what's happening?", wondered the black monkey. Suddenly something glowed in the room and he weakly focused his gaze on it.

Then he growled.

The Alchemist grinned at him, his red eye was missing. Well, that explains where the eye comes from.

"What…what is h-happening?", asked Antauri.

The man grinned and answered: "Let's just say…I prevented you from being infected completely."

"W-w-w-why?"

"Simple, I need your mind to still work. You'll just become more savage, not to mention under my control."

"Why?", repeated Antauri.

Grinning the coated man explained: "I know that you won against evil in your dimension, which means you have to be strong, stronger than these pathetic monkey and…"

He was cut off when Antauri growled loudly and hissed: "Y-You created them!"

"Ah, so you do know?"

Antauri froze. Why had he given away that he knew?

"I see…it won't be long until I got you under my control. And you won't turn back like the others when the eye gets destroyed."

Staring wide-eyed, Antauri barely winced when a new wave of pain struck him. "To your question why I need especially you. First, you are strong. Second, you are experienced. Third, you know where the other two are." Antauri froze, then growled and hissed: "I would never lead you to them!"

"Well, you won't have much of a choice."

The next second Antauri felt numb. It felt like slow-motion to him, when the ground came closer. He collapsed.

Antauri worriedly eyed the son of his counterpart. He would've sent him to the other kids, but a few things kept him from it. First, the young monkey had admitted that a bit of Sprx' salvia had been on his fur and that he had attacked his father. Second, he was older than Antauri himself, though he was still in the end of his teens at the same time. Third, Antauri wanted to have an eye on the young monkey, especially since he'd seen how Sprx had bitten his father.

Swallowing a sigh, he walked up to his chair and opened up the security files. He needed to know what was going on in the med-bay, and be it just for his own peace of soul. Bringing up the security cameras, he gasped. His counterparts eyes glowed red and with narrowed eyes he spotted long fangs in his mouth. The others fur had paled a bit and gotten a greenish shine. With the Veron Mystics, thought Antauri. Then there was a glowing and his counterparts gaze directed on it. Bringing up another video, he saw what was happening from a new view and gasped.

The weak outlining of the Alchemist stood there and talked to his counterpart, who answered with bared fangs. Often he saw shock in the other's eyes. Fast he activated the sound-system. With the force-field activated, it would only last for not even a half minute, but maybe he could find out what they were talking about. Activating the sound-system, he heard their voices.

"…not to mention under my control", ended the Alchemist.

"Why?", pressed Antauri's counterpart out.

The Alchemist grinned and answered: "I know that you won against evil in your dimension, which means you have to be strong, stronger than these pathetic monkey and…"

Antauri had barely swallowed a growl, but his heart skipped a bit at what his counterpart snapped.

"Y-You created them!"

"What?", whispered Antauri while the Alchemist answered: "Ah, so you do know?" Antauri saw how his counterpart froze. Was that what he didn't want them to know? But…how could the Alchemist have created them when…when he fought them? And did Captain Shugazoom know about it? "I see…", continued the coated man. "…it won't be long until I got you under my control. And you won't turn back like…"

Then the sound-system stopped working. However Antauri had no eye for the happenings in the med-bay anymore. One question repeated itself in his thoughts. How? The hissing of transport tubes snapped him out of his thoughts and then Chiro came in, followed by Nova. The yellow monkey looked terribly frightened.

"Nova are you okay?", asked Midnight.

Nova collapsed into her arms and whispered: "That…was terrible. T-those things were everywhere and…and…" She broke off and clung to Midnight like it was for her dear life. Then she looked around and asked: "Where is Antauri…I mean the other one." After she'd added the last part everyone smiled shortly. Antauri was about to answer her, when a soft voice said: "In the med-bay, together with Otto and Sprx."

Everyone looked up at Sean. He looked bad. His black fur was ragged and fluffed up, his eyes glassy. His cheek-fur was soaked, showing he'd cried.

"Sean?", asked Nova. "What do you mean with med-bay. And how can Sprx and Otto be here?" T

he black monkey frowned, then whispered: "Sprx came through the ventilation system while I was still half asleep. He tried to…I really don't know what, I guess bit me to inject his salvia. I managed to safe myself to the ceiling. Then father came. He and Sprx fought for a while, then he managed to push him away for a while and cleaned my fur form the salvia that was on it. We were about to leave when Sprx bit his tail. Father flung me through the door and well…he stayed inside."

"What?", exclaimed Nova.

Sean sighed, then suddenly winced and grabbed the fur over his heart. "No", groaned the smaller black monkey and clenched his eyes shut. Nova tried to come closer, but Antauri pulled her back.

"Antauri he needs help!"

"He is infected Nova. Even that salvia touching your fur can do that", argued the black monkey back. The yellow monkey stared, then looked at Sean, who was still struggling with himself. Suddenly he relaxed and went to stand straight again. His eyes were even glassier from exhaustion, but he stood his ground.

"How much longer do you think you can hold it?", asked Gibson.

Sean shrugged with a sigh, then Antauri walked closer and silently asked: "Is it true?"

"Huh?", asked Sean. Antauri glanced back and saw how Nova, Midnight, Gibson and Chiro were in a discussion. "Is it true that the Alchemist created the Monkey Team?" Sean froze and Antauri repeated: "Is it true?" The other still made no move to answer and Antauri grabbed his shoulder. "Sean is it true?" Sean winced and cried out: "Stop, you're hurting me!" Antauri pulled his arm back and felt the other's gazes on his back.

"Is it true?"

The other looked at him pained, then closed his eyes and answered: "It…it is."

A shiver ran down Antauri's spine and he looked to the ground. What did just happen to the Alchemist to become evil.

"Antauri?", he looked up to find Gibson, looking at him. "What is true?"

"Something utterly disturbing", answered the black monkey and walked up to the main-computer. He brought up the video of the med-bay and heard Sean whimper at the sight of what happened to his father. Then the alchemist appeared and everyone gasped. Automatically the sound came in the right moment and they heard what had been said.

"…not to mention under my control", ended the Alchemist. "Why?", pressed Antauri's counterpart out. The Alchemist grinned and answered: "I know that you won against evil in your dimension, which means you have to be strong, stronger than these pathetic monkey and…"

Antauri heard growls from everyone, except for Sean, who looked nothing but guilty. The growls stopped abruptly when Antauri's counterpart hissed: "Y-You created them!" "What?", exclaimed Gibson and Nova while the Alchemist answered: "Ah, so you do know?"

They saw how Antauri's counterpart froze.

"I see…", continued the coated man. "…it won't be long until I got you under my control. And you won't turn back like…"

The sound disappeared and Antauri stopped the video. Everyone was frozen in place, then they heard chocked sobs. They turned around just in time to see Sean, running off. He shot up Antauri's tube, tears streaming down his face. Everyone continued to be silent, then Nova suddenly asked: "Is…that true?"

"Sean said yes", answered Antauri. Glancing at the video he continued: "And I doubt any of the two of them would lie in such a situation."

The others nodded, then Midnight asked: "Sh-shouldn't someone talk to Sean? I mean, he just got to know that the Alchemist all along planned to gain control over his father."

"I can't understand why", argued Nova. "I mean, how much stronger than you can he be?"

Antauri shrugged, when a voice softly stated: "Much."

Everyone turned and Nova screamed when she came face to face with herself.

Yay, Nova joined in again.

Nova: What happened to Mandarin?

It's a surprise.

Sean: You have no idea, not?

I have. I just don't wanna blow it.

Midnight: Oh common, please tell.

Nova and Sean: She has no idea.

Nova2: You sure?

Nova: Yeah, i know her.

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! I JUST DON'T WANT TO TELL!

Nova: Wow, i almost believed you.

(growls, then smirks and snaps fingers - keyboard appears) So, let's see...oh yes. (types in...Nova in a pink princess dress, unable to move in fornt of a video camera)

POOF!

Nova: WHAT THE HELL, EvA!

Revenge is mine! (evil laugh)

Nova: Get me outta here!

Sean: No way, she still has the keyboard.
