Making those Dang Repairs
Beastfire: Chapter 5 is here! YAY!
So, everyone began working on the Super Robot. Gibson was in charge of planning, using his genius intellect. Antauri and Chiro were supervising. Ivy and Nova were taking care of weapons, while Frus and Otto were repairing the parts for the Super Robot. Sprx was just being lazy.
"Sprx!" Nova and Ivy yelled. "If we gotta work, so do you!"
"But you've all got it under control!" whined the red monkey.
"Hey, Ivy, care to light a fire under him?" Nova asked.
"Love to," responded Ivy with a smirk.
She started a small fire right under Sprx's butt. He screamed like a girl, sat right down, and scooted around on it. The girls both laughed. Sprx finally began to help Gibson, but really wasn't helping much at all. All he did was contradict all that Gibson said. While they argued, Otto and Frus were just about finished fixing the parts. To experiment, Frus had an idea. He summoned some metal and made a clockwork mime.
"I wonder what would happen with it," he told Otto.
"Are you sure you wanna do that?" Otto asked.
"I just wanna try it, to see what would happen."
He activated his creation and watched the results. It walked over to Ivy and Nova and did the old "Trapped in an Invisible Box" routine. Ivy saw it and her eyes widened in fear. She had no idea that Frus created it, and she screamed at the top of her lungs. Nova could feel her brain about ready to explode. Although Ivy was also afraid of mimes, snakes were her biggest fear, second only to mutant hunters. As she was screaming, she nailed the mime with a really big wave and it rusted. At first, she thought it was Sprx that had created it.
"SPARKY!" she bellowed. "WHAT THE (bleep) DID YOU DO?"
"What are you talking about?" Sprx asked, completely confused.
Frus could sense her anger and, quite frankly, it scared him like nothing else could ever do to anyone else. He tried to play it innocent until he felt someone poke him on the shoulder. He slowly turned around and found himself face to face with Ivy. She'd apparently figured out it was him and wasn't overly pleased. She was hovering so that she was looking down on him and her eyes were glowing intensely. A low growl was released.
"Oh, um…hi, Ivy…what a surprise?" he offered nervously.
"You have three seconds to start running," she growled menacingly enough to even make Antauri wet himself in fear.
Frus knew how to take a hint. Three seconds later he was being chased by a mutant on the warpath. Luckily for him, he was really fast. Heck, if he wanted, he could probably run the Boilermaker and win. He was able to outrun Ivy easily, as she ended up getting an asthma attack and fell to the ground. Frus turned back and stopped to see if she was okay. She pulled out her inhaler, took a couple of hits from it, and let him know about how it was just her asthma flaring up again.
They went back to the others, Ivy contemplating revenge, and saw that they were just about done fixing the robot.
"And where have you two been?" asked Antauri.
"They were probably making out somewhere," teased Sprx.
He was hit with a large chunk of metal and got something that Ivy had created known as an "Aquatic Atomic Wedgie", where she used her hydrokinesis to give Sprx an atomic wedgie (how she did this, I don't know…c'mon, just work with me here!). Before they could congratulate each other on getting back at Sprx, Ygrene flew down for a landing.
"Ygrene?" Frus asked. "What happened? I thought you were headed for home."
"I was," explained Ygrene. "But I got sidetracked. I met up with another dragon and he said that he crashed into something large and made of metal. I think it's that thing that we found."
"So that's what sent the Super Robot flying!" Ivy exclaimed. "What's this dragon look like? What color is it?"
"How should I know? I'm colorblind."
"So, what about any distinguishing characteristics?"
"Well, he doesn't have a tail. I think he lost it in an accident or something."
"Okay, so we gotta keep an eye out for a tailless dragon."
"Oh, so Frus is going with you?"
"I don't know. But, the Monkey Team would wanna know about this."
The team was introduced to Ygrene as well, and then Frus asked, "What happened?"
"Well, he said that he was headed for a planet for some evil overlord," Ygrene explained. "He said that he knocked the Super Robot out of contr-"
"Wait!" Ivy interrupted. "Did he say the name of this evil overlord?"
"Yes. He said the name was Skeleton King."
"What about the planet?"
"I think he said it was, um…I know it began with 'S'…Shugga-something…"
"Shuggazoom?" Chiro asked.
"Yes, that's it! Shuggazoom! How'd you guess?"
"That's where my team lives."
"That's what I call a problem."
Chiro looked around at the monkeys and they all decided that it was time to head back.
"Okay, then," began Ygrene. "Now that I've let you know this, I'll just head back home."
Ygrene flew off again, heading for his home planet. The Monkey Team headed for the Super Robot. Nova looked back.
"Hey, Ivy! Ya comin'?"
"Yeah! Hold on!" Ivy replied. "Hey, Frus, wanna come with?"
"Ivy!" Gibson shouted.
Frus thought about it for a minute and made his decision.
"Sure!" he replied.
"Score! C'mon!" Ivy said, leading him into the Super Robot.
Beastfire: That's it for Chapter 5! In the next chapter, we see what the trip to Shuggazoom is like!
Frus: Why do I have a feeling that no good can come of this?
Ivy: Because Beastfire enjoys torturing people and taking shows like SRMTHFG and making them into her own personal playthings.
Beastfire: That's so much fun, though!
Frus: I still have that feeling of impending doom…kinda like when Ivy gets mad. That's the scariest thing ever!
Ivy: Oh, have I ever told you of Beastfire's sick fascination with having me get grabbed and/or beaten within an inch of my life?
Frus: Well, you just did now! Thanks, now I'll have multiple nightmares!
Ivy: Please review!
