Adeline fought off the formless as best she could with all the techniques she could….her powers weren't much help, even though she had been practicing with her family to master her abilities; she still wasn't experienced enough to understand or use them. Formless came at her form every angle; she found a table leg and tore it off using it as a staff to beat them up with.
As she fought off 3 formless at the same time, but she was hit by one formless and three reached down to grab her when she heard, "Claw Disruptor!" The formless around her were destroyed falling to the ground in a puddle of Ooze. She was gasping for breath as her father came rushing up to her, "Adeline are you alright!" she looked around to see her family fighting for her…
"Yeah…I'm fine….but…why is Chris doing this….this isn't like him…" she said looking at Chris wearing an evil smirk; she had a tear in her eye
"I sense that something is very different with Chris…like he is a different person…" Formless surrounded her and her father, "but now is not the time to discuss this…"
He jumped and yelled "Monkey Mind Scream!" and the formless were thrown back against the wall into a black puddle.
After about 10 minutes of fighting the monkey team and Adeline were backing up as more and more formless came forward, but Chris and Scrapperton came forward first.
Adeline was the first to react; she was extremely hurt so she said in a sad tone "Chris…. Why…..?"
"Ah yes…I would expect you not to know….your primitive primates were always quite stupid" they stood there watching amazed as Chris's head started to slowly open to reveal a small monkey by the name of Sauko
-----------
Adeline stood there watching the whole thing from the sidelines; she knew that this was defiantly wasn't her boyfriend but still didn't know who the monkey was
"You!" Chiro yelled
"Silence boy! This does not concern you!" he yelled back
"What do you want?" Sprx yelled
"I am on a mission to retrieve a very valuable jewel…." he said with a big smirk
Adeline felt sick to her stomach remember she had kissed the robot earlier in the night, but she was taken from her thoughts as something grabbed her from behind covering her mouth and dragging her back. Her family was too busy paying attention to the small monkey that they did not notice her being taken away
Gibson was amused, "Well you will be extremely disappointed you will fail at your so called 'mission'…."
Sauko gave a small laugh; he was watching everything that was happening in the background, "Oh but you are wrong..." he watched as a formless dragged her into a portal that headed straight to the Citadel of Bone, "You see I have successfully retrieved the jewel as we speak right under you noses…."
Nova turned around; Adeline was no where in sight, but she saw a portal behind them and Adeline's hand disappearing into it…, "ADELINE!"
The whole monkey team turned to see Nova running toward the portal to stop her niece from being taken but failed as the portal disappeared as she got not ½ ways away from it.
Antauri was overtaken by fear and worry; he turned around to see Sauko, Scrapperton, and the rest of the formless missing….
------------
Adeline fell into the darkness of the portal; she was extremely cold for only moments when she felt pain as she was thrown down onto the rocky floor and heard an eerie voice call out to her, "Welcome girl…."
She looked up to see she was in a thrown room with lots of formless, the small monkey and mechanical head was there, a monkey with the form of a body builder, and sitting in the thrown was a man appearing to be a skeleton. Adeline gasped out of shock and tried to back up but ran into a formless who threw her back. She started to stutter, "Wha…Wha…What d…d…do…you want?
"Just you my special little child…." he replied with an emotionless look
"Huh?"
"You my dear are a very specially gifted girl….It would be wise to stand by my side…and have the honor of being my queen…"
She remembered her father telling her about this man and that he called himself Skeleton King. He was an evil force who sought on nothing but to destroy anything and everything in the universe. "It would be wise to not even consider it….not to mention it's the grossest thing I've ever heard…." she mocked him with a look of determination and disgust
He gave a chuckle, "Ah but you see you don't really have a choice in the matter; you can either join me by my side by choice or by force…."
She just stared at him, "That's no choice at all….you already know my answer…"
He put on a look of not only surprise but disappointment and amusement, "Very well girl….Mandarin!"
Mandarin stepped forward, "Yes my lord?"
She looked at this Mandarin and noticed he had a similar head to that of her family; she started to ponder, and obviously Skeleton King noticed, "Yes child, you may see a similarity to that of your wretched father….you see your Uncle Mandarin was wise and joined me by my side…you should follow his example…"
Adeline simply stared at the monster called Skeleton King as he took on a slightly angered face, "Mandarin…take young…" he thought for a moment, "What is your name child….?"
Adeline simply stared once again but Sauko stepped forward, "My lord, from what I collected at the club, her name is Adeline…." he said bowing
"Ah…..good…" he gave an evil smile, "Mandarin take young Adeline to her room…"
Adeline was confused…a room….didn't he mean a cell….she was pulled from her thoughts as she was grabbed by the orange headed monkey and taken out of the thrown room. All the way to the door, he said nothing; he opened it to reveal a giant bedroom with a vanity, canopy bed with velvet drapes, and a lot of other furniture that made it have an evil sense to it. She looked at his face, it was full of determination and sureness; he gave her a slight push forward and let go of her arm, "I shall be back soon, young one…with your dress and engagement present" he said with a cold tone.
Adeline didn't say anything as she watched him close the door and lock it; she immediately started to cry as she thought about her horrible fate being forced to be Skeleton Kings queen…….
