Author's Note: I'm finally back! I've been gone for a really long time! Sorry for the extremely long delay people. I also need to update my other story 'The Secret Magical Paintbrush' too! I'll also work on that too. I downloaded episode 7 of Harukanaru Toki no Naka de and it was sooooo cool! I'm now in love with Yorihisa (a character in the series)! He's soooooo cute and hot and brave and I don't know what else! I also downloaded episode 5 of Air and it really shocked me. Why would someone burst into tears whenever she tries her best to make friends? I would've done the same thing! I better get started now. Here's chapter 5! Read & review! NO flames! Enjoy while you read!

CHAPTER 5: Meet Bloodstone

Lapis and Lazuli froze to see Bloodstone standing in front of the team with Mandarin, Sakko, Tenma and a few of Bloodstone's soldiers. Gibson wondered why they were here so he cautiously walked up to Bloodstone and gave a stern look at him.

"May I ask why you are here?" Gibson asked sternly. He knew that Bloodstone could be dangerous but he tried to be brave. Bloodstone stared back at him.

"I am here to capture Lapis and Lazuli" Bloodstone replied but that was bad news for 5 of the members.

"WHAT!" Otto, Yuri, Sparks, Chiro and Michiko screamed in horror but Michiko stomped over to Bloodstone.

"No! That's not going to happen! You're just trying to catch them so that you could have all the evil you want! Is that right? Michiko snapped but Nova was surprised. She had never seen Michiko this brave since she was born but Bloodstone looked mad and looked down at her.

"You're wrong. Once I deliver those two to my father, he will welcome me home with honor and restore my rightful place on the throne" Bloodstone said and Michiko stomped back to the team and hid behind Antauri. Bloodstone now shot fire out of his hand but Lapis managed to block the attack with her airbending. She looked mad at him. Lazuli too.

"Let me capture you, now!" Bloodstone snapped and shot more fire out of his hand. He could do firebending but Lapis and Lazuli both blocked all of Bloodstone's attacks. Otto had gotten his saws out.

"Let's fight! Right here right now!" Otto said and almost attacked Bloodstone but he got blocked and knocked out. Sparks and Nova ran to his aid and stared angrily at Bloodstone. Lapis and Lazuli stood in front of the team.

"We'll make you a deal Bloodstone" Lazuli said but the team looked at the two blue female monkeys. Gibson was scared about what they were gonna do with this deal.

"If we go with you, will you promise to leave our team alone?" Lapis said and the team were shocked.

"WHAT! Are you MAD woman!" Sparks, Shinju, Nova and Gibson screamed (I got that mad woman line from an episode of Jimmy Neutron). Chiro and Gibson would not let this happen to them but tried to stop them but couldn't. Bloodstone's soldiers took Lapis and Lazuli in their ship and now the door closes with Lapis feeling sad and the door now closes up and the ship now leaves. The team were sad but Michiko was the saddest of them all.

"No! Why would she do this? Why would he do this?" Michiko cried.

"They sacrificed themselves for the sake of our lives young one. I do have a feeling that they will escape and come back safe" Antauri said looking at the purple monkey. Yuri noticed someone was missing.

"Uhhh...can I ask you all a stupid question? Where's Gibson?" Yuri asked and the whole team noticed that Gibson was gone too! A third blue monkey gone!

"Gibsooooon!" The whole team cried as they went looking for the blue monkey. Now as the ship was floating away, a blue dot was on the back part of the ship. It was Gibson!

He drilled a hole in the ship so that he would get in. He managed to squeeze through the hole he made into the ship and he got in. He found a few soldiers guarding the door so he blasted them with his blue lightning attack knocking them out. He smiled and bursted through the door but more of Bloodstone's guards found him but he got his drills ready and shocked them with his attack again. Now he ran through the hallway and found another door so he got through the door and scurried off to find the two monkeys he loves.

As for Lapis and Lazuli, they are locked up in a cage with no way out. Lazuli kept thinking that the Monkey Team would come to their rescue but nobody has arrived so far. Lapis thought they were gonna be locked up forever...when suddenly a burst of blue thunder blew out a few of Bloodstone's soldiers. Lapis wondered if it was someone they know when the blue lightning headed for the cage. Lapis hugged Lazuli to keep her safe but the thunder only blew up the bars. As Lapis and Lazuli now looked to see who it was, they were really happy to see that the blue monkey, Gibson came to the rescue! Lapis and Lazuli were happy and hugged Gibson as he changed his drills back into his hands.

"Oh Gibson! I knew you were gonna come back and save us!" Lapis said happily as she hugged Gibson.

"We thought you'd never come!" Lazuli said happily.

"I couldn't stand to see you get captured by that Bloodstone so I came to rescue you two" Gibson said but now Lapis and Lazuli were confused.

"But how did you manage to get inside the boat without any of the guards knowing?" Both Lapis and Lazuli asked and Gibson still smiled at the two female monkeys.

"I managed to sneak to the back of the boat and drill a hole in the back without the guards or even the Monkey Team knowing!" Gibson said.

"The Monkey Team never knew either?" Both Lapis and Lazuli asked.

"Yes. Now let's get out of here before anyone finds us" Gibson said.

As for the Monkey Team right now, they wanted to find a way to catch up to Bloodstone's ship but don't know how to get across the big lake that the boat sailed through. Otto was sad.

"How the heck are we gonna get across?" Otto asked when Sparks came out with Fist Rocket 3 out in flying Mode. He smiled down at the team.

"Get in team! I'll help you all get across! The easy way!" Sparks said courageously. Nova was annoyed but agreed with the plan anyway.

"Now we gotta get to them slower because we don't want Bloodstone, Mandarin, Sakko or his soldiers spotting us. Can you put this in a boat mode?" Nova said and the Fist Rocket now turned into a boat.

"Ya happy Nova? We can catch up to them better now!" Sparks said and the boat quickly swam away into the foggy lake.
