Thanks for the reviews! I luv you guys! Here's chapter 17! Mew :)
Chapter Seventeen: Enter Kevok
"Come on! Faster before she figures out where we're going!" Cielle said as she spirited down the halls of the castle followed by the hyper force.
"Does it really matter? Aren't we headed straight for her!" Chiro asked panting.
"No, we have to got to the computer room and disable the Valencia in the castle otherwise we won't stand a chance!" Cielle said.
"No we don't!" Antauri said. Cielle stopped and Gibson ran into her, Antauri ran into him and Chiro ran into him.
"Why in the name of Shuggazoom did you stop?" Gibson asked irritated.
"What did you call me?" Cielle asked.
"Shuggazoom is the name of our city..." Chiro explained.
"Oh..." Cielle said.
"We don't need to go to the computer room, I can stop them," Antauri said.
"But how?" Cielle asked.
Gibson cleared his throat. "When Antauri uses his attack, it emits a frequency that disrupts the Valencia's signals," he explained.
"Well that's great! And it saves us time," Cielle said. She led them down the hall and back to the castle directory, from there they went through the main lobby and up a large stair case. At the top there was another large door. Cielle pushed it open and they went in. It was the throne room and it was being guarded by the Valencia.
"There they are! Alert the master!" one of the Valencia yelled.
"Get ready Antauri," Cielle said. Antauri nodded as they headed towards the center of the room.
"Princess!" a Valencia said appearing in front of the Princess and Ryo.
"What! What!" Princess Tsuki snapped.
"The outsiders and Cielle are in the throne room, they're trying to get to you!" the Valencia said.
"Excellent, you know what to do!" Princess Tsuki said. The Valencia nodded and disappeared.
"What are you going to do?" Ryo asked.
Princess Tsuki glanced down at Ryo, "Do you think I'm ignorant enough to tell you?"
Ryo sighed lowered his head.
"Monkey Mind Scream!" Antauri yelled. The Valencia ran right through the four and they walked on ahead.
"All we have to do is climb that flight of stairs and it should lead us right to that tyrant," Cielle said. Before Cielle could take a step the ground shook, then stop, then shook again.
'What is that?" Chiro asked.
"I don't know, sounds like the footsteps of something very large," Gibson said.
"Do you know what it is?" Antauri asked Cielle shook her head.
The ground began to shake harder and a large rumbling noise caught their attention. They turned to the front of the room just to see the wall in front of them smashed to the ground. Cielle started coughing from the flying dust and debris, "What happened?" she asked.
"I can't quiet see at the moment," Gibson said trying to navigate his way through the dust.
"Someone knocked down that wall!" Chiro said.
"You mean something," Antauri pointed out. There was a low rumbling growl as the paw of something large stomped down in front of them clearing the dust. Cielle and hyper force looked up to a huge cat like monster with bright red eyes, gleaming silver fur, ferocious fangs and massive paws and four thrashing tails.
"Oh my...So this is what Princess Tsuki was working on another computer program," Cielle said.
"You knew about this?" Chiro asked.
"I heard a couple of weeks back she was working on a new program to help the Valencia, I thought it was her Stallion, but I guess was wrong," Cielle said.
"Obviously," Gibson said. The creature roared again and lifted it's paw.
"Run!" Cielle said. The Massive creature stomped it's foot down and the hyper force and Cielle jumped backwards.
"Looks like we're going to have to take this 'thing' down! Let's go Hyper force!" Chiro said.
"If it's a computer program like Valencia your attack should have the same effect on him , Antauri," Gibson said.
"It's worth a try," Chiro said.
"Go on," Cielle said.
"Monkey Mind Scream!" Antauri said as he unleashed his attack on the creature. The creature blinked a few times then narrowed it's eyes and roared.
"It didn't work," Gibson said shocked.
"Then we'll just have to defeat this thing to get to Suki! Echo Cannon!" she said as she jumped into the air and shot at the creature in the eyes. It screeched in pain and thrashed it's tails against what remained of the wall behind it.
"Chiro Spear-o!" Chiro said as he ran towards the creature and through his bolt of lighting at it. It let out a pained growl and opened it's eyes and pounced towards Gibson.
"Ah!" Gibson said surprised about how fast the massive creature was able to move. It roared ferociously and lifted it's paw to swat Gibson. Gibson jumped into the air in the knick of time and landed near Antauri.
"We can't underestimate this creature," Antauri told him. Gibson nodded and readied himself for attack his drills spinning rapidly.
"Thunder Punch," Chiro said trying to attack from behind. The creature saw Chiro coming, he turned and leapt over him nearly landing on Cielle. Cielle fell back and looked up at it. The creature began to glow a bright green and it looked like it was being hurt.
"She's duplicating it!" Cielle said.
"You can't do that! If you duplicate it now you risk losing control over it!" Ryo yelled to Princess Tsuki who as enjoying having playing around on the computer.
"Silence! I can't lose control over anybody! And that includes Kevok here!" Princess Tsuki said.
"But if you duplicate him it'll just make two smaller versions," Ryo warned.
"Who cares, they'll still be big enough and powerful enough to stop those fools. Thinking they could destroy me by themselves, please," Princess Tsuki said.
Kevok let out another roar. There was a flash of bright light that blinded them all, when they looked back there was two smaller versions of Kevok but still equally large. One leapt over to Antauri and Gibson while the other cornered Cielle with it's menacing fangs bared.
"Stay back you," Cielle said as she narrowed her eyes.
Chiro ran over to Kevok and kicked him in his side. He spun around knocking Chiro over with it's powerful tails. Kevok pounced on Chiro and held him down underneath his paws.
"Chiro!" Cielle said as she got up. Kevok turned his head and snapped at her as she ran beside him. "Get off of him!" Cielle said as she jumped back and growled, "Twisting Tornado!" she yelled once again turned into the purple tornado except this time much bigger and with greater wind strength. Cielle rammed into the side of Kevok, but he only pressed down harder. Causing Chiro to let out a gasp as he was slowly being choked.
Cielle stopped and landed on Kevok's head. "If I don't do something he'll be choked to death!" Cielle thought. Cielle jumped onto his muzzle and shot one of her cannons in Kevok's eyes. It roared in pain but didn't move a muscle. "Get off! Get off! Right now!" Cielle yelled firing at him continually. Chiro who was slowly losing oxygen and was being crushed underneath Kevok, managed to lift his head, "Antauri! G-Gibson!" he yelled softy.
Gibson and Antauri who were wrestling a Kevok of there own were too busy to notice.
"Take this!" Gibson said thrusting his drills into the Kevok's paws.
Antauri who was about to attack, stopped and shook his head, " Something not right...Chiro's in trouble," he said out of no where. He turned to Chiro and the other Kevok and gasped, "Gibson! We have to help Chiro!" he yelled.
"I'm kind busy right now! You'll have to do it!" Gibson said. The Kevok had Gibson tangled in his four tails and was thrashing him around endlessly. Antauri turned from Gibson and ran over to Chiro and Cielle.
"Let him go Now!" Cielle yelled angrily as she opened her mouth and bit into his flesh with her fangs. The Kevok had enough of her annoying antics and lifted his paw off Chiro and tried to swat Cielle off. Before Cielle could move she found herself in the clutches of Kevok.
Antauri reached Chiro, who was breathing heavily and taking deep breaths.
"Are you alright?" Antauri asked him.
"I-I think so..." Chiro said. Antauri tried to help him up but Chiro fell back down. "I think...that thing crushed my ribs..." he said.
"Don't worry Chiro, I'll protect you," Antauri said.
All of a sudden there was a ear piercing scream. Antauri looked up to see Kevok snap it's jaw shut with Cielle inside. His eyes widened. Gibson's cry was heard next and the Kevok was doing the same thing the other had done to Chiro.
"Antauri! Help me!" Gibson yelled from underneath it.
Antauri looked at Gibson, then down at Chiro, then up at the Kevok that had just devoured Cielle. They all needed his help but he was only one monkey. "What am I going to do?" he asked himself closing his eyes shut trying to think as hard as he could.
