B: Sorry for the wait, After my mom saw the "D" on my report card for English she cut down my computer time to about an hour a day.
Isis: not so loud those cookies gave me a headache
B: Now for my all time favorite monkey, Gibson
Isis: finally, why did you have to save him for last
B: didn't hear that one saying, or was it a song, "save the best for last"
Isis: I guess
B: I'll take that as a yes, so here the next chapter, if hitting Isis's orb makes her lose control of her powers for a second what happens when it breaks?
Chapter Six:
Gibson's Wish: Magic Malfunction
Gibson stood there stunned as the last beaker rolled off the counter and hit the floor, smashing into little pieces. He didn't even know or care what fell from the ceiling, he just fell to his knees and tried so hard not to cry.
"Why does everything happen to me" he whined in frustration
Isis sat up and rubbed her head. The sugar rush left her weak, a fuzzy memory, and a pounding headache. She looked around and noticed she was in a different room and didn't see the sliver monkey anywhere. She looked down and stared at the blue monkey crying over the broken beaker . . . wait a minute, BLUE!
Her blue eyes shined as she flew down to Gibson "It's really you" she shouted
Gibson looked up to see a small dragon in his face "my word, how are you" he asked
"I'm Isis and you wouldn't believe what I had to go through just to see you" she said smiling.
The blue monkey looked confused about what she said "I'm lost here" he said
"I fell from space and this red crazy monkey found me and then I met this temper yellow monkey then Otto, who introduces me to sweets then I didn't remember anything after that but it did involve another monkey that looked like candy foil"
"Wait a minute, you were that "rock" Sprx was hiding behind his back this morning"
Isis nodded "and the one who gave the crazy one's dent on his head" she said, but smiled "but I'm so glad to see you, blue is my all time favorite color and it means lucky and hope on my planet. I feel so, so-" she couldn't finish.
"Well, I'm flattered that you like my color, but I do need to know where you came from and why haven't the others told me about you and-" He looked at her "are you ok"
Isis was a little pale and felt something coming up her throat "I don't feel good" she said. The sweets and the jumping around didn't mix well for a little dragon's stomach.
"Did you injured yourself or was it something-"
Gibson couldn't finish when Isis threw up on his chest and all over the floor before sitting on the counter with her arms wrapped around her stomach. He stood there stunned and disgusted "great this just add more to my mess" he said
"I'm sorry" She said, tearing up, she didn't want to meet the blue monkey this way.
Gibson sighed "it's ok, that what happens when you eat sweets instead of a proper diet"
Isis cried anyway, she couldn't believe that just happen and it wasn't on the crazy red one or the temper yellow one it had to be on the blue monkey.
"No, no need to cry" He said, picking her up "we'll just have to clean this mess up"
Gibson took her to a sink and since she was very small she fit in there perfectly and turned on the water. "I'm sorry again, blue monkey, this was the first time I ever tried sweets" she said, blushing from embarrassment.
"Nothing a little soap and water could clean up" He said.
"Thank you, blue monkey" She said, she forgot his name.
"My name is Mr. Hal Gibson, but everyone calls me Gibson" he said
"What's with the full name" she asked, but he was too busy to cleaning her up to answer her.
He noticed a few cuts here and there, but didn't know that they came from all the weird events that's been going on and a few pieces of glass from the beakers and glass cups he had in the lab. He could tell the little dragon was tired since she was slowly dozing off in the sink.
After cleaning up Isis and himself, he sighed when he stared at the mess and the hole in the ceiling "this is going to take me all night to fix" he said to Isis, who he was holding.
"Um . . . I can help" she asked smiling.
"Oh really and what can you do" he asked doubtfully
"If you find my orb I can take care of this whole mess" she said
"Orb?" He asked
"Yeah" she said "it's a round ball with a light bluish color"
Gibson scanned the room and spotted it on the counter nearly hidden by broken glass and rubble from the ceiling. "Is that it" he asked
Isis looked and nodded then Gibson walked over, making sure he didn't step on the glass and the "mess" Isis made and grabbed it. "What is it, your toy" he asked
Isis grabbed her orb "no, it's my magic orb, without it I'm nothing more than a little blue dragon"
Gibson laughed "please, there is no such thing as magic, there is always a logical explanation"
"You don't believe in magic, I'm ninety percent magic, ten percent elements" Isis said happily
"Ninety percent huh?"
"Yeah, my power is wish-making, don't you have powers like that other unstable monkeys around here" she asked
"Yes, I do have powers but they're not "magic" like yours are" he said
"Just make a wish" She said
"There is no such thing as magic, so sorry for not wishing" He said
"Please Gibson" she said, giving him sweet puppy dog eyes "please, just say I wish my lab was fix, please"
The blue monkey stared at her big eyes and sighed "fine, just don't do that thing with your eyes again" he said "I wish my lab was clean and fix up" he said
Her orb started to glow and he was blinded by the blue light for a few seconds. When he opened his eyes, he dropped Isis when he was his lab clean up and fixed up so well as if it was brand new. "How on earth did you do that" he asked
Isis rubbed her back from landing on the floor and looked up at Gibson "I told you, I'm a wish-maker and it's magic" she said
"But this is impossible, it's not logical" he said
"Since when did all things have to be logical" she asked
"Everything is logical, there is no such thing as magic" He said again
"So, if there is no such thing as magic does that mean I'm not real" she asked
"If you weren't real then that means I'm talking to thin air" he said
"But like I said before I'm ninety percent magic but you said magic isn't real so does that mean I'm not real yet I am real" Isis said, getting a headache from this whole conversation.
"Who told you, you were made up by magic" He asked
"My owner told me" She said
Gibson still wasn't satisfied "how about I check this for myself"
"How" Isis asked as Gibson place her on the counter.
"With this" he pulls out a weird gun-like machine.
"What are you going to do with that" Isis asked, shaking in fear.
"Nothing to worry about, I'm just going to scan you to see what you are really made of"
Isis raised an eyebrow as a small thin red line ran up from her feet to her head. Something beeped and she saw Gibson looking at a t.v. screen and smiled "see you are one hundred percent elemental dragon" he said
"That can't be right, then how would you explain the wish you made" She asked
"I'm still trying to figure out that one but I'm positive that you have no magic in you what so ever"
"That can't be right"
"Well it's true, in fact the only high source of power is coming from that ball you have your tail wrapped around" He pointed at the orb.
"It's not a ball, it's an orb and I guess you're right since without it I can't use any of my magic" She said
"Do you mind if I take a look at it" he asked
Isis looked at him, unsure "ok" She said, handing him her little orb.
Gibson examined it "what source of power does this ball have inside" he asked him.
"It's an orb, and it has magic for wish making" Isis said
"I'll be the judge of that" Gibson said, smirking at the little dragon know he wasn't going to stop til he was proven her wrong. He walked away with the orb and Isis could hear him searching around then suddenly she blew out some bubbles follow by bits of sparks. Isis covered her mouth when she felt fire coming up her throat and swallowed it.
She quickly flew over to where Gibson was and started to panic when she saw him trying to crack open her orb with a strange laser stick. "Is this thing unbreakable" Gibson said then tried to open the orb again with a different machine muttering to himself "I wish this thing was easier to open"
When he was muttering those words, Isis flew in and grabbed the orb away from him. The orb started to glow and little did both of them know Gibson's wish was granted.
"Oh my, the strange ball started to glow, how is that possible" he said, reaching out to grab it but Isis pulls it away.
"Leave my orb alone, if you keep hitting it I can't control my powers" she said
"Fine, but I just want to look at it again" he said, grabbing it but Isis still wouldn't let it go.
"Please, just leave my orb alone; I don't want to lose control of my powers like the last time." she said, pulling it away, but she found herself playing tug-o-war with it with Gibson.
"I just want to take a quick look at it, I won't use any tools to harm it" he said
She pulled and he pulled with neither of them giving in til Gibson yank it away with all his might only letting it slip out of his metal hands and cause it to fly across the lab. The orb hit the wall, smashing it into five pieces with a cloud of blue sparkling smoke floating out and disappearing.
"Ok, how did that become unbreakable to breakable" Gibson wondered.
"Gibson, I don't feel good" Isis said groaning
Gibson turned around to face her "don't tell me you're going to throw up again" He stared at her as she started to shake with sparks coming out of her little body that grew bigger and bigger. "Are you ok?" he asked, backing away a little
Isis felt the fire coming up again but this time she couldn't hold it. Gibson's eyes widened as a ball of blue fire headed toward him.
----------------------------
Antauri wiped the last bit of chocolate off his face with a towel then stared at the other three after they explain what been going on.
"So let me get this straight, Sprx, you found the little thing and didn't tell us because you wanted to make your wishes"
"Would it help if I told you they backfired on mine, BIG TIME" Sprx said
"I wouldn't have done that if you didn't out a spell on me" Nova said with signs that she was getting a little cold from being trapped in a room full of ice and snow.
"Well, at least I didn't feed the little monster sugar and wished for an endless storm of sweets" Sprx said and all three stared at Otto.
Otto was happily eating a cake "wow, swimming in a pool of sweets was weird" he said. He noticed the others giving him a death glared, especially Antauri who was still a little twitchy form his experience with the blue little dragon.
"Otto, thanks to you, I had the worst, weirdest experience in my life" Antauri said
Otto gave Antauri a weak smiled "cake" he said, holding up a piece of cake.
Sprx smacked the cake out of Otto's hands "I saw enough sweets already coming out of the tubes, we're trapped in here"
"Hey, where's Gibson" Nova asked
The four stared at each other "you don't think he found . . . " Sprx asked
They panicked and rushed over to the tubes that were clogged up with sweets and started digging through it with great disgust.
---------------------------
Gibson scoffed as his lab was being destroyed again while he was dodging for his life from the baby dragon's attack. Isis floated in one spotted, trying so hard to cover her mouth but the longer she resists, the stronger her fire, ice, lightning and bubbles' attacks were.
"Isis, why are you attacking me!" Gibson shouted from behind a desk.
Isis covered her mouth again but bubbles burst out, filling the whole lab from floor to ceiling. Gibson had his chance to escape and rushed to the door and open it. He was stunned to see that the exit was blocked by tons of sweets and junk food.
"I...can't stop . . . Gibson!" Isis tried to say without blowing out fire.
Gibson groans from disgust and started tossing the sweets aside for him to get out of there before he burns to a crisp. Isis couldn't hold it much longer and facing the direction Gibson was at, she blasted a large tidal wave of fire toward him again. Gibson screamed and fell over, just missing the fire by less then an inch and fell to the floor. He looked up and saw all the sweets floating in the air or flying around. With a heavy heart, he quickly shut the door before lightning could've hit him and crawled away from his lab.
A large storm cloud started to appear at the ceiling with lightning flashing and the sweets didn't help much when they were hitting him in his face and body. Large dents were forming on the door of his lab "the door won't hold very long" he thought, til a brownie hit him right in the face.
As he wiped the brownie off of him, he heard the sounds of screaming and turned around and through the storm and the flying sweets saw the others falling down the same tube.
"Guys, what's going on here" He shouted
Otto crawled out from the tangle piled and exits the yellow tube "cool, my wish is still on" he said
Gibson crawled over to the others, who were lying on the floor to avoid getting hit "can anyone tell me what is going on!" he shouted
"You wouldn't happen to see a blue dragon, have you" Sprx asked
"Yes, she was with me, but after an accident she started acting funny and started attacking me with her powers" He said
"What are we going to do, no doubt she the one causing this mess" Nova shouted.
The cloud above them grew thicker and for some reason bluer then another lightning stuck down and nearly hit the monkeys.
"We need to find a place to hide" Gibson said
"We can't, the whole robot is covered in sweets" Nova said
"Wait, did you just said you locked the dragon in your lab ,Gibson" Antauri asked
"Yes, why, I had to get away because I was nearly burned to death"
"Don't you have explosives chemic-"
Sprx couldn't finish when Gibson's Lab blew up sending wave after wave of fire, ice, and bubbles and a stronger force of wind. The monkeys looked up and saw Isis, her eyes were pearl white and she was glowing and shaking as she tried to hold back her powers.
"Nice going Gibson that was a great place to hide her" Nova shouted
"This is odd" Sprx said
"What" Gibson asked.
"I thought Isis couldn't use her powers without holding on to her orb" he said
Another wave of fire flew across the floor, causing the monkeys to fly up into the storm of the sweets.
"Isn't this fun guys" Otto said, opening his mouth to catch a piece of cake.
Nova pulled him down as they hid behind a large piece of metal that was torn off from the wall. "We need a plan, quick" Sprx said
"What Sprx said about the orb is true then where is it"
Gibson looked away to hide the embarrassment but could feel the others staring at him "all right, it smashed into pieces" he confessed.
"How can that be, I hit the orb a few times and all it did was made her lose control of her power" Nova said
"Well I don't know what happened, she said that she could grant wishes and I told her that there was no such thing as magic and I just wanted to see what power source the ball had. So I tried to open it and it was solid as a rock then I said I wish this thing would be easier to open. Then when she grabbed it, it started to glow and I wanted to see it again so we started playing tug-o-war with it and it slipped out of my hand" Gibson explains.
"Thanks a lot Brain strain, with the orb broken she'll never going to stop" Sprx said
Another wave of fire flew toward them but the giant metal piece block it from hitting them with the help of them holding it up. "Any ideas before we are destroyed" Nova asked
"One blast with my magnets could finish her off" Sprx said
"Dangerous indeed, but she is still an infant, Sprx, we need to trap her somewhere til her powers weaken" Antauri said
Gibson thinks and got an idea "If Otto could build some type of cage we can place her in there till we fixed that ball of hers"
"But my building room is filled with sweets from the wish I made" Otto said, smiling from embarrassment.
"You can use this metal piece, Otto, all we need is something to distract her" Gibson said
Before another word could be said, Antauri phased into the floor and the others peeked behind the metal piece and watched and waited til he appeared again. Antauri appeared behind Isis and tackled her to the floor. Isis's face was pushed to the floor to block her from unleashing another blast of fire. Antauri held her down with all his strength but could feel the little dragon powering up for one final blow.
"Hurry Otto, I won't be able to hold her down" Antauri shouted
"You guys, make a cage, I need to get that ball from my lab" Gibson said
With the instructions from Otto, Nova activated her giant hands and crushes the large metal piece into a round ball then Otto quickly started fixing it up by adding hinges for it to open or close. Sprx helped Gibson trying to collect all the pieces but they were running out of time.
Isis glowed even brighter and was shaking so hard that the floor was vibrating, little did Antauri know that with her face pressed against the floor was cutting off her air supply and making her angry.
(Silly mean monkey) she thought, as she was compelled to charge up and blasted him with a huge shot of electricity.
Antauri screamed, but still didn't let go. Large lightning bolts run across the room, hitting the walls, the ceiling, the tubes and some even blew a whole to the other side. A lightning bolt flew pass Sprx and struck the large computer screen causing it to explode with pieces of glass falling to the floor.
"No, not the computer screen, I haven't gotten past the last level to my favorite video game!" he whined.
"Sprx, stop whining like a little baby and help me find the last piece." Gibson shouted.
"It's done!" Otto shouted
"Gimme that" Nova shouted, as she picked up the solid metal ball and ran over to Antauri. "Move Antauri" she shouted
Antauri phased through the floor again and in a split second before Isis could release another attack, Nova flew the ball down and locked Isis inside. Otto rushed in and locks it by melting it opening shut. They jumped back when another blast of power was unleashed but it was protected by the metal ball.
Everyone sighed in relief til Otto spoke up "uh . . . guys, whatever you do, don't look up"
Sadly the others looked up and their eyes widened when they saw the sweets that were floating before fell toward them in one big splat.
-------------------------
Jinmay spotted Chiro walking around with a little girl and ran over to him "Chiro, something is going on at the Robot"
"What do you mean, did something happen to one of the monkeys" He asked
"I don't know, but I tried to contact them to see how they were doing and didn't get an answer and all I heard was screaming and things crashing" she said
Chiro looked down at the little girl name Bechill "Bechill, do you mind if we stop at the Robot really quickly then we'll continue looking for your friend"
"I don't mind, but please, can we hurry, I have a feeling she's in danger" Bechill said
Chiro nodded and picked her up "hold on tight, we're going to fly" he said
Bechill held on tight as the three flew up into the air and headed toward the robot.
----------------------------
The monkey sat at what's left of the table and waited for Gibson to glue back the orb. The whole command center and other parts of the Robot were either destroyed, filled up with sweets or both. The place where all their bedrooms were at was filled with icy cold water from when the snow melted. They sat there, exhausted and completely covered in chocolate or frosting from when all the sweets feel to the floor.
Antauri twitch or jump when Isis releases another blast of power from inside the metal ball cage. Sprx tried hard not to move due to the soreness and the multiple injuries on his body. Nova kept on sneezing and shivering from the cold she caught and Otto was suffering from a really bad upset stomach from all the sweets he's been eating here and there.
Gibson tried to stay calm even through his precious lab was completely destroyed as he glues the last piece together. "Finish" he said, but the others just groan except for Sprx.
"Well then let's open up that ball and give the little monster a well deserve spanking"
Gibson rolled his eyes and walked over to the metal ball with the others right behind him. He activated one of his drills and drilled a hole in it that is big enough to look inside. He peeked inside and saw that Isis had fainted from the whole event. He took her out of the metal ball "seems that she had fainted from exhaustion" Gibson said
"Oh no, she is not getting off that easy" Sprx said and grabbed Isis as if she was a doll and started to shake her a bit "wake up, you have a mess to clean up"
"Sprx, don't shake you that hard or else-" Nova couldn't when Isis woke up and blew fire into Sprx's face. That made Sprx's even madder "now you're going to get it" he shouted and brought out his magnets.
Isis flew out of Sprx's arm and flew into Gibson's arms for protection "leave me alone, you crazy monkey"
"Sprx, you're just scaring her, do you want to start another explosion" Nova shouted
"Well look at this mess, we spent all morning cleaning up and thanks to Gibson and his stupid wish the Robot is worse than before"
"My wish, this wouldn't have happened if you told us that you found her in the first"
"At least I didn't break her orb and cause all this mess" Sprx shouted while pointing his finger into Gibson's face. Isis growled and smacked Sprx with her tail but that only added to Sprx's rage. Without thinking Sprx threw a fist, but Isis crawled up to Gibson's head only leaving Gibson to take the blow.
Everyone was stunned as Gibson's rubbed his eye then glared at Sprx "that wasn't very bright Sprx"
Next thing they knew, Gibson tackled Sprx to the ground and they started fighting with Isis still holding on to Gibson's head.
"Knock it off you two" Antauri shouted
"Stop fighting" Nova shouted and grabbed hold of Sprx who had a hold of Isis by the tail. Otto pulled Gibson away, but Isis was holding on to Gibson by the head.
"Let go of my head" Gibson shouted at Isis
"Make him let go of my tail" Isis screamed in the pain.
"Everyone, just calm down" Antauri said
"Sprx just let go of Isis's tail, she's yanking my helmet off!" Gibson shouted.
The whole room was full of screams, shouts and bickering that they didn't hear a little girl's voice shouting "leave my Isis alone" Suddenly, a gust of very cold wind flew against them and they were all frozen stiff in a small block of ice . . .
