Violet Eyes
Did you miss me? Ok, I'm really sorry I haven't reviewed in a while but I was on holiday, Glastonbury fest. And stone henge, great! No computer or anything, torturous… evil lumps of rock…
Disclaimer: no! Evil disclaimer! Reviews!
Beastfire: heh, um…(is very embarrassed) I thought it might be cancer or something… I'm dumb aren't I? Yes, thought so (hits head on keyboard and it falls to bits) nooo!
Violet: Ivy, what was the wedgie for? hehe,
S.S: Astral: hehe, now Jade; let's keep the chasing to a minimum…(Jade comes after me) ahh!
Violet: ha! And I think it was Novafangirl, who had a sib for Sprx. Don't worry Infra, I'll beat Sprx up later (gets a glare from Me) heh, heh, or not? (The new bunny is cool! Lol)
NavyNinja Beach: don't worry about it, and your new name is cool! Me being on holiday too, but outside camping in a field in a thunderstorm, nastiness, the weather couldn't make its mind up, either smothering hot or raining.
DayDreamer9: Violet: (having overconfidence) you right! I can do it! (Marches forward but trips over her own feet, bumps into Gibson, he drops the chemicals in his hand and the whole place goes up in a bang. Now the entire monkey team's faces are black bright) cough owie…!
WF: Astral: lol cliffys are evil! But fun! And we'd love to come to your wedding Ichigo! When is it?
4Evermonkeyfan: Violet: (big grin appears on her face) why Adriana! You like Antauri? Cool! Well I hope you enjoy this chapter, and no, us monkeys don't go down so easily!
Chapter 6: New Found Ability
Violet looked around at the throne room. The other monkeys were beaten, lying on the floor, mostly unconscious. Chiro was trying to stand up, balancing on the one knee that was holding up better. Violet heard Skeleton King laugh and shivered. Not with fear, but with anger.
Mandarin stepped up to the others, gazing at them. He held up Antauri's head, then dropped it and poor Antauri hit his head on the floor. Violet turned around at the sound, activated her gun and aimed it at him.
"You keep away from them!" she shouted. A nasty smile curled around Skeleton King's mouth. He lifted his hand, also lifting Violet with his telekinesis and took her out of the cage.
"What do you have left to fight for, Ultraviolet?" he asked. "The Monkey Team is no more, and you are soon to be too…"
"Oh yeah?" came a voice, Mandarin, SK and Violet all turned to see the rest of the team trying to stand again, struggling, but succeeding. SK dropped Violet and faced his enemies. Otto got his saws out and glared up, the rest followed suit. "Think again Skeleton King!"
"Nobody takes us down so easily!" shouted Chiro confidently.
"And it'll take more than a sack of bones to do that too!" said Sprx.
Violet grinned and looked back at Skeleton King, who looked dumbstruck. He scowled deeply, with a look of utter disgust for the Hyper Force. "You filthy, persistent fools!" he growled.
The Monkey Team glared but stood their grounds in front of the towering skeleton. It seemed like an eternity until SK decided to strike. (I'm no good at fight scenes so bare with me!)
He made to hit Gibson, but the blue monkey jumped, avoiding being sliced in half and ran up Skeleton Kings arm. Once reaching a good vantage point, he shouted and aimed his drills at the overlords face. "Robovac Drills!" he shouted, scratching SK.
The skeleton glared at him and tried to go for Nova. "I don't think so!" she said with a growl, thumping his clawed hand out of the way. SK resorted to Sprx, who hit him in the side of the head with "Manga Tingler Blast!"
Mandarin was making his escape, but Antauri jumped down in front of him, blocking his path. They both glared at each other. (A/N: now I don't know if anyone else has, but has anyone noticed that Mandarin and Antauri have a sort of rivalry? I have. Tell me in reviews if you've noticed too)
"Challenging me Antauri?" hissed Mandarin, his eyes narrowing and a slight smirk slipping across his face. "You really are the fool I always took you for!"
"A fool is one who overestimates himself, betrays his friends," said Antauri as the two circled each other. "I am no fool! And if I have to prove that in battle, then so be it!"
Mandarin's ugly face coiled into a horrible grin and he jumped forward, ready to strike. Antauri did an impressive back flip to dodge it, kicking Mandarin as he jumped back. "Claw Disruptor!" he shouted, jumping back and scratching Mandarin across the chest.
Antauri, being the honest fighter he was, gave the ex-leader time to recuperate. Mandarin was wailing, then when he'd pulled himself together and growled at the second in command, he whipped at him with his holographic tail thing but Antauri didn't dodge it as easily, and fell to the ground with a thud (sorry Jade). Mandarin tried to strike again, but something whizzed in front of him and threw him back.
"LADY TOMAHAWK!" shouted Nova as she went on the war march for Mandarin. Violet pulled Antauri out of the line of fire by his tail and the battle went on.
Chiro hit the Skeleton King for the last time and the overlord keeled over, exhausted. The Hyper Force stood down and waited. SK snarled at them. "Mandarin…" he growled. "Attack…them…"
Mandarin was smart enough to see he was outnumbered seven to one. He didn't want to get near the Monkey Team and provoke more pain for himself, Otto's saws were whirling menacingly and Violet and Nova seemed ready to take down anyone who got in their way. Sprx gave Mandarin an uncharacteristic sneer.
"Go on, I dare you Mandarin, hit us!" he said, Mandarin shook his head and made to run for it. Sprx grinned. "Was it something I said?"
Violet sighed, aimed her gun, "static launch…" she yawned, shooting him in the rear and making him speed up. He ran from the throne room wailing and shouting insults at the pink monkey.
"Bulls-eye!" laughed Otto
Nova was grinning ear to ear. "Nice shot," she said. Violet smiled.
"It was nothing," she said, and then looked around. "Guess we're cleared up here,"
"What about Skeleton King?" asked Chiro.
"What? He's a whimp, we got better things to do!" said Nova, dragging Chiro along by his sleeve.
SK's pride was badly bruised. He stood up, his staff raised. "So I'm a whimp am I?" he questioned with a growl.
"yep, you guessed it!" shouted Violet over her shoulder.
SK was shaking with anger. "I…will…not be…defeated!" he muttered. Holding out his staff, shooting at them. They weren't quick enough, and Sprx, Gibson and Violet were shot.
Gibson glared back, nursing his arm. His condition was better than Sprx's, who'd taken it in the side and Violet had managed to avoid being hit directly in the face. She clutched her cheek as Nova ran over to Sprx (who was playing the dying swan).
"Sprx! Are you ok?" she asked, panicking a little. Sprx had his eyes closed (no he's not dead!) he smiled and reached out his hand.
"Nova? Is that you?" he asked, melodramatically.
"Quit fooling around!" she snapped, slapping him.
"Ouch, gee never knew you cared!" he mumbled, opening his eyes and rubbing his cheek. "Yeah, I'm fine…" he tried to sit up but winced and laid back again.
"I think I've had enough of this," said Gibson. "Shot in the back twice in one hour, it's a new record!"
"Then I've got something you'll all love…" said Violet. "Or something you might hate, it could kill me…" she added as an after thought.
Otto looked up in a half glare that didn't match his face. "Kill you? Have you got completely crazy?" he asked. Violet shook her head, and then ducked as Skeleton King tried to attack them with his sceptre. The Monkey Team split up and carried on discussing while Chiro tried to hold SK off for a while.
"What's your plan Violet?" he asked.
"Well," she started, jumping out of the way of SK's foot as Chiro knocked him back. "I'll charge up an attack, then you guys give a quarter of you power primate, it'll take him down, hopefully for good…"
The monkey Team, though struggling to comply with such an awful burden, charged up while Violet jumped up into the air, her eyes glowing yellow and red. "Alright now guys!" she called. With massive amounts of reluctance, they pooled the power primate into her attack, creating a massive ball of energy. Violet held it above her head and looked down on Skeleton King. "Say goodnight SK!" she called. "INFRARED MIRAGE!"
There was a massive explosion as the radioactive ball hit Skeleton King, but nobody saw anymore as a blinding light filled the room. Antauri gasped as a figure appeared before him. He squinted through the light and saw it was walking towards him. He stepped back. "Who are you?" he asked.
"You forget that easily?" it asked. Violet's voice.
"No I don't," he said softly. "What exactly are you doing Violet?"
"I'm making sure SK never comes back, I probably wont either," she said.
"No Violet, you can't!" he said.
"I'm just here to say goodbye," she sighed. "See you and the others around I guess," she turned and walked away.
"No!" he said, making to run forwards but the white light changed to red as she disappeared, then there was another explosion and Antauri had to cover his ears and close his eyes.
When the light cleared away, Skeleton King was nowhere in sight. The hyper force opened their eyes and saw in the centre of the room… … … (Ha! Not gonna tell you!)
Later that night, the monkey team sat in the main room, waiting for Gibson to come out of the med bay. Chiro was visibly upset and Nova was staring at the floor. All were silent, until Sprx once again broke the silence.
"So…is she ok?" he asked, referring to Violet, who was the one in the med bay.
"Dunno…" muttered Otto, just like the last time Sprx had asked. The red monkey sighed and looked around at his teammates.
"What time is it?" he asked. Nova shifted irritably.
"Five minutes since the last time you asked, shut up!" she scolded. Sprx huffed again and then looked around, only to see Gibson walking out of the med bay. Antauri, who had been silent the whole time, got up instantly.
"Gibson what news?" he asked quickly. Gibson smiled warmly.
"Well you'll be glad to hear she's going to be fine," he said, the entire robot suddenly brightened considerably. "But she's very tired so you'll have to wait to see her,"
"Well stuff that!" cried Nova, running past Gibson, followed by the others and spinning the blue monkey around.
After getting stuck in the door for several moments, the team fell in and Violet, who was laid down in a bed, raised her head weakly off the pillows. "Guys…?" she questioned. "What are you doing?"
The team scrambled to their feet quickly with big grins on their faces. "Come to see how you are!" said Chiro.
"Yeah," added Otto, taking a seat along with the other monkeys. "So are you feeling ok now? Err…Violet?"
It just so happened that Violet had fallen to sleep and was now snoring slightly into her pillow. The others sweatdropped. "VIOLET!" they all said in unison, waking her back up.
"What? What? I'm up already!" she said quickly, the monkeys and Chiro either sighed or rolled their eyes.
Antauri looked up with quite a serious expression on his face. "Now lets get something straight Violet, what you did almost killed you," he said, his arms folded. "Now brave attempt to stop Skeleton King or not, that was incredibly unwise,"
"So what?" asked Violet moodily, "worked didn't it? Gibson filled me in, SK's gone now,"
"Yes, and you almost were too," he argued, though not raising his voice, Violet's eyes shifted away from everyone with guilt.
"Ok, sorry if I worried you," she muttered.
"It's quite alright," said Antauri resting back into his chair. "One more thing, I've never seen that attack before, what was it? Infrared-?"
"Mirage, Infrared Mirage," she said. "And none of you would know about it, it's new, but I'll never use it again, it kills people, it almost killed me too," she put her head in her hands. "A killing technique, and I used it on SK, I'm just as bad as him,"
Nova looked up. "Your nothing like him, don't even begin to compare yourself to that monster!" she said. Violet nodded, though didn't look back at her teammates.
Antauri smiled weakly at her. "I think you should get some rest Violet," he said.
"Yes, but you'll have to stay in here tonight, you still need to recover!" said Gibson.
She smiled and pulled the covers around her. "Yeah, I could go for some sleep," she said, grabbing an old knitted monkey plushie that was lying next to her.
The monkeys and Chiro smiled as they walked from the room. Chiro was last out and he turned back to Violet. "Night UV, and welcome back to the team!" he said. Violet smiled and gave him thumbs up as he switched the light off and left, leaving only the moonlight to illuminate the room as she fell to sleep.
Astral: right, that was the last chapter, and probably the longest, again I'm sorry for not updating in two weeks!
Violet: they heard you the first time!
Astral: I know, reviews pretty please, my next story (if only a friend at school would cooperate and let me lend his character, damn him!) should be up in about a week or so, depending on how much spare time I have, ah well, I'm off to the dentist now to get bloody braces! (Sobs uncontrollably) oh by the way, Beastfire, is it still ok if I borrow Ivy?
