Violet Eyes

Disclaimer: I hate this disclaimer thing! (stamps on disclaimer) AHHH!

Ok, sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I've been really busy, school work, annoying my little sister, trying to overcome insomnia and so on…anyway, chapter 4's here, hope you enjoy it, but first (drum roll) REVEIWS!

4Evermonkeyfan: hehe, poor Mandarin…NOT! He shouldn't have switched sides!

Violet: he better pray I don't kick his butt!

Astral: you will, the whole monkey team will, I'll make sure of that!

Beastfire: Violet: I have sympathy for you Ivy, I really do!

Astral: (grinning) it's always fun to torture the little OC's hahaha!

Violet: put a sock in it, Astral

Astral: Ok! (Puts a sock in her mouth, then spits it back out) urgh!

DayDreamer9: oh you can bet she'll slap him, it's her fav pastime, along with kicking and biting, and unfortunately, she's too dumb to think of an escape plan…

Violet: WHO ARE YOU CALLING DUMB?

Astral: take a guess!

S.S: Sprx: I hate you Crystal…

Astral: Infra, huh? It's cool. One of Violet's attacks has something to do with Infrared, but it's a killing move so she doesn't use it! She learns it soon though… in a few chapters or so,

Navy2blue: Astral: (faints from all the questions)

Violet: dude...that's a lot of questions...(looks at Astral and drags her off) anyway, lets start the story...

Chapter 4: in chains

After much biting, kicking and screaming, Mandarin had finally managed to chain Violet up in one of the cells. She hung there, with only one barred window next to her to see outside. She was pretty tired from having a tantrum with Mandarin, all the screaming at him, calling him a traitor and such, had taken a lot out of her.

She wondered if the monkey team realized how long she'd been gone; she wondered if they were on their way now.

Back at the Super Robot, Antauri and Chiro noticed that Violet was nowhere to be seen. In fact, no one had seen her since training. Maybe she was upstairs somewhere, so Chiro tried to call her…

"Hey, Violet? Are you up there?" he called up the stairs. There was no answer, so he made back to the main room. He pushed open the door; the other monkeys were all in here. Everyone looked pretty care free, apart from Antauri, who was just as worried as Chiro. "Hey, Antauri, she's not answering me,"

Antauri frowned and Sprx turned back to them. "Maybe she's sulking?" he suggested.

"For what?" asked Chiro.

"Oh, I don't know…" said Sprx, rolling his eyes. "Maybe because she never got a real crack at the training course? Didn't you see how upset she looked?"

Chiro folded his arms and thought. "You have a point…" he said.

Nova looked around at everyone, who appeared to be deep in thought, even Sprx! (My god! He's actually using his brain!). "What if you guys try calling for her?" she suggested.

Everyone agreed and went back to the stairs.

"Hey, Violet, if this is about that water balloon I put in your bed, I'm sorry Ok?" called Sprx, trying to keep the atmosphere cheery.

"Oh, yeah, I'm sure she'd sulk with you just for that," said Nova, folding her arms.

Gibson tilted his head and seemed to be in the world of brainstrain right now. Then the old light bulb clicked on. "We could try her communicator? She'll have to answer to that,"

Chiro nodded and Antauri turned on his own and called for Violet.

Violet, however was nowhere near the Super Robot, but it seemed her signal for the communicator was still there. It started beeping and Antauri's voice buzzed at her. It must have been a miracle they'd called her, because she hadn't been able to reach the little comm. before.

"Violet, are you there?" asked Antauri.

"Antauri!" she gasped. "I'm at the Citadel Of Bone!"

"Why in god's name are you there?"

"Take a good long guess," she said, sarcastically. "Ok, fine, it just so happens that someone forgot to tell me Mandarin was a bad guy, and I got jumped!"

Antauri was silent for a minute, and then Otto said exactly what he'd just thought.

"Oopsy…" muttered the green monkey.

"We're coming right now!" said Antauri, stopping communication. "Come on," he and the rest of the monkey team followed him to their places

They headed as quickly as they could for the Citadel Of Bone. Antauri was cursing himself, saying he should have kept an eye on her, as she would have been an easy target.

"It's Ok, Antauri, we'll find her," comforted Nova.

"I know, but… I…we should have been more careful…we should have explained to her about Mandarin…" he said to himself, and then Sprx came on screen.

"We'll never find her if you keep moping, get a grip!" he snapped.

"Quiet all of you!" shouted Gibson. "We're approaching the citadel, do you want Skeleton King to hear us over the silenced rockets?" (I totally made that up)

"Preparing to land," whispered Otto.

"LETS JUST SMASH THROUGH THE ROOF!" shouted Nova at the top of her voice.

"SHHH!"

They got out of the Super Robot and Chiro hopped down the hole that Nova had punched through. One by one, they dropped down silently. Nova peered around the corner, the hallways where empty, no formless or anything.

"This sure looks like some kind of trap," she stated. The others nodded.

"If we want to get Violet back it's sure worth walking into one," said Otto.

"Oh really?" asked Sprx, raising a brow.

"We should split into teams of three," said Antauri. "One looks for Violet, the other keeps Skeleton King busy,"

"Right," Chiro nodded. "Sprx and Otto go with Nova, Antauri and Gibson come with me,"

They headed off in different directions. Gibson made it to the throne room to find no one was there either, what a surprise. Chiro looked around before going in, this just screamed 'trap'.

"Looks like someone went on holiday," said Chiro. Antauri stepped in after and shook his head.

"I believe he is just waiting for us," he said.

Like Skeleton King had heard him, the doors all closed with a bang, trapping them inside. There was a dead silence for the first few moments, but then a deep, rumbling laugh echoed around the room. Chiro wheeled around and saw the towering skeleton was behind them.

"This time, there is no escaping me!" he said. They jumped back as he shot at them with his sceptre. The shot's followed repeatedly and they had to take cover behind his throne.

"Ah! We can't stay here forever!" said Gibson, covering his head from the falling bits of rubble and dust.

"What do you suggest? We wave the white flag?" shouted Antauri above the noise. Chiro looked up.

"That's actuallynot a bad+idea," he said. He pulled out a tissue from his pocket and made a small flag. He waved it over the throne so Skeleton King could see it.

"Huh?" Skeleton King looked sceptically at the flag, then resumed firing.

"Ok that didn't work," said Chiro, throwing the little flag over his shoulder.

Gibson looked thoughtful. Then with a gulp, he got up and activated his drills.

"SPIN SHOCKER!" he shouted, releasing out one of the energy draining darts, hitting Skeleton King square in the chest.

Skeleton King cursed badly and Antauri had to cover Chiro's ears. It was safe to go out for now, Skeleton King was exhausted, at least until he got his energy back.

"Give it up Skeleton King, you're finished this time!" proclaimed Chiro.

SK stumbled to his feet, but then started shrinking away into the floor. Chiro ran forward in attempts to stop him, but was too late. As soon as he went the doors reopened, leaving Gibson, Antauri and Chiro alone again.

"Well that certainly is a new trick," said Gibson, sighing.

Down in the dungeons, Mandarin was having a very hard time keeping Violet under control. She'd kicked off and started screaming again once she'd seen the Super Robot on its way.

"Keep still!" Mandarin shouted, while moving in to try and re-attach the shackle that she'd managed to escape from.

"Get stuffed!" she shouted and kicked him in the shin. He hopped around clutching his leg in pain.

That would buy her some time, at least until the monkey team got here. Then all her hopes of ever getting out of the citadel were dashed as Skeleton King dropped down slowly from the ceiling.

He smiled at whatever fear he could see in her eyes. She didn't like that look.

"Ready to take down the hyper force?" he asked.

Astral: DUM DUM DUM! My first cliffy (I think, did I do one before now?)

Violet: what exactly are you going to go with me? Throw me around like an old doll? Oh, and of course, how could I forget? TORTURE ME?

Astral: hey, just a little, be calm girl, be calm, take deeeep breaths!

Violet: you and your therapy, reviews please, no flames, you know the drill!
