I changed Val's outfit design slightly; now she two guns attached to each side her belt, and one gun attached to the hip of each boot.
Nightshade tracked Valentine down to a large room, Nightshade quickly hid in the upper corner of the room, hidden in a shadow. A purple swirling portal sat on a higher platform. Skeleton King walked out of the portal as Valentine and the Mandarin Clone bowed down at the base of the steps.
"Valentine, you have done well…" Skeleton King spoke eerily
"Thank you my king…" Valentine responded with a slightly proud tone.
"Though Mandarin has informed me that you have not caught the pink haired robot, why?" Skeleton King hissed the last part of his question.
"She abruptly left the night I arrived at the robot, she will be back tomorrow and I will find her and fool her into a trap. I will fake saving her life and she will trust me, with that trust I will trap her." Valentine responded with a slight quiver in her voice, earning a snicker rom the clone.
"Very well, see that you do. If you fail me...there will be consequences." Skeleton King stated evilly.
The King of Corruption left back through the portal, leaving Val and the clone.
"Like I said, don't get too proud…" The Mandarin clone snickered.
Val promptly slapped him.
"How dare you!" The clone growled in her face.
She growled back viciously, feeling threatened.
"Stop it you two!" A figure of a monkey called out of the dark hallway.
The figure walked forward, reveling a yellow monkey with bright orange optics. He had a few black strips on his fur, his cybernetic arms were black metal. He had a black belt and black knee high boots with a slight heel on them, possibly because he was a bit short.
"You don't tell me what to do, Wasp!" Mandarin Clone hissed
"Wasp, just stay out this!" Valentine snapped, though with a slight hint of protection in her tone.
As the monkeys argued with each other, Nightshade saw a perfect opportunity to strike and take them down. But Antauri told her to spy, not attack, and though she trusted him she couldn't pass up this chance. Nightshade got into a position to strike; a bullet suddenly whizzed by her head and hit the wall. She stood perfectly still, unsure if she was found out. Val had pulled out one of her guns and was threatening Mandarin; the pink monkey was unaware of the cat's presence. Nightshade got ready once again and slowly stretched her wings.
She jumped and with a flap of her wings she was striking into a middle of the group, taking them by surprise. She landed on her hands and kicked the yellow one in the stomach, sending him flying back a few feet. She then switch to standing on her legs and grabbed the clones arm, flipping him onto his back. Val had out her gun and aimed it at Night, but she moved out of the way and knocked Val to the ground. Nightshade was suddenly tackled, landing several feet away from her targets. She quickly got up and saw a monkey of white fur with red eyes, he was a rather large fella, clearly build for strength. She took out her whip and whipped it around the monkey's neck; using leverage she swung him into a wall, causing a loud boom. A loud boom that Nova and Antauri most certainly heard.
In a few minutes the room had about 20 formless pouring in, along with Antauri and Nova who phased through a wall.
"Nightshade! I told you to spy!" Antauri shouted as he ran over to help.
"I thought I could knock them out and end this quickly." She shouted back at him as she whipped a formless into another one.
Valentine pulled out her other pistol and now was duel wielding guns, making her very dangerous. She quickly headed towards Antauri, he saw this and quickly turned his attention to her. She stopped a few feet in front of him and the two began circling around each other;
"It's too bad you couldn't join our little team, but at least of this will be fun…" Val purred coolly.
Antauri remained silent and suddenly lunged at her in his phantom form, trying to claw off one of her arms. (their arms are metal and have no pain sensors, remember that) Without her arms she wouldn't be much of a threat. But she quickly dodged to the side and back kicked him, knocking him to the ground a few feet away. She put her hands on her hips and walked towards him sassily. As she got closer he noticed purple, heart shaped gems on her boots; they were the same gems from earlier.
"Like the boots? They are Anti-phasing boots, functional and stylish!" Val smiled sarcastically
Antauri unleashed a monkey mind scream, sending Val flying back a quite a few yards away. She landed on her feet and slid on the ground until coming to a stop, she had lost a gun in the blast, but she just pulled out one from her left boot holster.
"Ok darling, let's dance!" Val charged at him.
The clone charged at Nightshade but she side swiped him and used her leg to sweep him of his feet. He landed on his back and she went to punch him in the face to knock him out, but a hand grabbed her wrist and stopped her. It was Wasp, he attempted to slash at her with an orange energy blade attached to a wrist brace, but she moved out of the way and jumped back. Now she had to fight both of them, she cracked her whip and charged towards them.
Antauri managed to get Val down to two guns, he was weaving around her barrage of bullets trying to get close to her. Luckily he was too fast for her to hit; he got in close and was about to unleash a mind scream to knock her out, but he was tackled by something silver and red.
Antauri used his claws to screech to a halt, he looked at the figure who tackled him. Antauri's eyes widened at the monkey in front of him; A fully metal silver monkey that was clearly made to be a copy of the Silver Monkey, but with a few visual differences. Instead of legs and feet, below the knee the leg turned into the common cylindrical robot leg. His helmet was bright blood red with two black stripes down it. His chest mark was red, his neck and arms were black, and his eyes were also red. He had ghost claws like Antauri, but they were red instead of purple.
"Chrome, take him down, I need to handle a certain yellow lady…" Val ran off to fight Nova.
Antauri quickly prepared for an attack.
