Final Chappie! WAHOO!

Beastfire: Here's chappie 13…the final one!

The whole city looked upon the mound beneath which the Monkey Team had been buried. They all doubted whether or not they survived, and various people began to cry, silent tears streaming down their faces. The team was just about to be declared dead, when some of the debris began to move. Everyone watched as a large golden fist penetrated the surface, and the monkey attached to it emerged. Next came a drill and its owner, as well as a saw, plasma claw, magnet, and a hand with an orange glove along with the ones who possessed those. It was the Monkey Team, all with various injuries. Then, a silver mongoose-like creature with a smaller, badly injured black and blue furred meerkat emerged, the latter leaning on her bigger counterpart's shoulder for support. The Hyperforce, Frus, and Ivy backed up a bit and looked upon what could have been their grave. There was silence for a moment or two, then the whole of the city cheered, glad to see their local saviors alive.

All went into the Super Robot to attend to their wounds. Ivy was taken care of first, as she was the worst off. Gibson brought her into his lab, and first ran a blood analysis on her. The venom that she'd gotten when she was in the Citadel, fighting the Shindanese Warui that she'd been "introduced" to before she and Frus became separated, was still in her system and would be for a few days. This meant, of course, that the venom would also hinder her healing power for that long, but she didn't even realize it until Gibson told her.

"I thought it was just because it was Wednesday!" she exclaimed both shocked and dismayed.

"No, I'm afraid not."

"Oh, you're just one (bleep)in' ray of sunshine, aren't you?"

"Glad to see your sense of humor survived as well."

It had become Sarcasm Fest in that lab at the time. The gashes that were in various places on Ivy's body had bandages applied almost immediately, and her broken tail was being bandaged when there was a knock on the door. Gibson finished with her tail and went to answer the door. Frus was standing out there, fresh from Med Bay. He'd come by to see how Ivy was doing.

"I'm almost done," Gibson explained, as Frus came in and sat down.

"Really?" he asked. "Great!"

He watched as Gibson took care of the broken ribs, intrigued. As this was happening, Ivy flinched a few times, because Gibson had accidentally touched the area that was most tender. When he finished, he set her down on the floor and she almost fell down. Luckily for her, Frus was there to prevent it from happening. She was still in so much pain she could barely walk, or fly, for that matter.

"So how bad is it?" Frus asked.

"Pretty bad. My healing power won't be working for the next few days, but what else is new? But it could be worse…I could be Sprx after insulting a feminist group."

Frus smiled at this comment and let out a small laugh. He didn't know Sprx very well, but he had a pretty good idea of what could happen.

"I had no idea you were such an optimist," he quipped.

"Yeah. Only for me it's more like bitter optimism."

The rest of the team came out of Med Bay and over to Ivy and Frus.

"Hey, Frus," said Chiro. "You want us to give you a lift back home?"

Ivy and Frus looked at each other, and there was silence for a moment or two. Then, Frus had something to say.

"Um, Chiro? If it's all the same to you guys, I'd like to stay here. Please?"

The team stood there thinking about it until Ivy decided to put in her two cents, using the "Bambi Eyes" approach, in which she'd make herself look as cute as possible to get her way. She, too, didn't want Frus to leave. He was one of the very few that understood her and didn't become insanely annoyed with her. Slightly annoyed, maybe, but not on an insane level where physical harm to her was imminent.

Finally, the team came to a decision.

"Are you sure you'd like to stay here?" asked Antauri.

"Yes."

"Well, I suppose Ivy could use someone here to keep her out of trouble."

At this point, Ivy began to snicker, as did the rest of the team, knowing that it was just not possible for her to stay out of trouble.

"I don't know if that can be done," Frus remarked with a smile.

"Really? Welcome to the club!" joked Sprx. "We have t-shirts!"

Ivy smirked and set Sprx's butt on fire once again, and again he scooted around on the ground to put it out. Everyone laughed as they witnessed this happen. All was right with the world again…or was it?

Out in space, the Citadel of Bone reassembled itself and Skeleton King took his place on his throne.

"Let them remain content for a while," he said, talking to nobody in particular. "One day, Shuggazoom will be mine. And those filthy primates along with their little pets shall feel my wrath."

Of course, as soon as he said this, a piece of his Citadel wasn't completely reattached to the rest of it and it fell and hit him in the head like plaster.

Beastfire: And that's the end of the final chappie. Hope you enjoyed it! I'm already in the process of writing my next story: "The Invasion of the Mary Sues", for which I've borrowed other peoples' characters. The characters involved (other than Ivy, Frus (guy who reads too much fantasy), and any SRMTHFG characters (Ciro Nielli)) include Jet (Twister91), Senya (Animefangirl11), Ichigo (Whitefairy), Liam (Lmann), and Shorty (another of my OC's)

Frus: I don't even know who half of those people are, apart from Jet.

Ivy: The only one I don't know is Ichigo.

Beastfire: You'll meet her. Don't worry. Please review!
