Zaintar: Oh right...but what about...
Me: Clamps hand over Zaintar's mouth On to ch. 2!
When Chiro got back from his "shopping", the team was sitting in the main room. Gibson was the first to speak, slightly embrassed.
"Sorry about not telling you earlier about the store..."
"IFOUNDTHEPARTYOUNEEDEDANDIALSOFOUNDTHISROBOTDRAGON!ITHINKSHECANBEFIXED!" Chiro blurted out, sounding like it hurt him to hold it in any longer.
"Whoa...kid," Sprx said. "Slow down. Say that sentence again, calmly." Chiro inhaled before saying:
"I found the part you needed, Gibson," Chiro handed Gibson the box of screws.
"And I also found this dragon. I think we can fix her." He extended his arms to show the monkey team the dragon. There was silence between them, like the beauty of this dragon had no words to be put into, or it was just absolute surprise. Sprx was the one who broke the quietness.
"Now...are you, Gibson, goin' to stand there, with that big mouth of yours hanging open, or fix this dragon?" Gibson snapped out of his trance.
"Of course. Otto...your coming with." Otto jumped for joy.
"Now I get to see what this baby is made of."
The team gathered around the table. Gibson and Otto were finished repairing and the team was getting excited, even Antari, as calm as he is, felt the spark of excitment. Gibson carefully attached a cord to the back of the head. He typed something onto the computer. There were a few beeps, whirs, and hisses before Gibson removed the cord.
"Now I want you at to step back, just in case," he replied. He switched her on. The body began to shake. Suddenly, the eyes flashed on. She leaped to a standing position.
"Alright, you numb-skull good for nothing...what the heck?" The dragon exclaimed. "Where the Formless?" Her voice was almost angelic, yet had the ring of something demonic. She tapped her foot impatiently.
"Question. Who the heck is that? Why are you out of you tubes? And...why the heck am I out of mine?" She pointed to them till her finger landed on her chest. Gibson, who was the closest, spoke to her.
"Who are you?" The dragon snorted.
"The name's Zaintar. Any way, I asked you...who is the guy in the white and orange?"
"I'm Chiro. I woke the team up, but..."
"We never heard or seen you in any of the records," Antari finished. Zaintar slowly calmed and sat down.
"How long have I been out of date?" She asked, the words seemed to pain her as they came out.
"Umm...a couple of years, I believe," Gibson replied, a hit of fear in his voice. Zaintar growled and hit her fist on the table, leaving a dent.
"Great..." she said, saractically. "How lovely." Then she turned to the team.
"Now, tell me what's been happening in my absence." Chiro was to speak.
"Well...we've been fighting Skeleton King, but haven't saw him since..."
"Since what?" Zaintar asked curiously. Chiro explained about the defeat of the Dark One worm and how SK was attached to it. Zaintar gave a face of disgust.
"That's sick. Sick...and wrong. But, continue."
"Antari's the Silver Monkey."
"He looks awesome."
"And we found you."
"Uh...DUH!" She snorted. Nova was starting to like this new friend.
"What happened? You know...when you were...cut off." Nova did a motion slicing the neck.
"Um...let's see..."
Zaintar dodged a blow from an upcoming Formlesss. It got a taste of her claw and blade. She morfed her blade hand into a machine gun and shot for her life. Suddenly, a noise from behind her caught her attention. A black robot hovered above her, pointing a laser cannon at her. She dodged the 1st blast, but ran into a group of Formless. They grabbed her and held her with vice like grips. She stuggled to free herself, but her escape seemed futile. The screen on the root came to life and Skeleton King's face was leering down at her. Zaintar knew all too well what he was going to ask.
"I know what you want, but I still wouldn't join your side even with the penalty of death," She snarled. Skeleton King chuckled.
"Still playing hard to get yet. Well, then we'll just have to do it the hard way." The robot aimed a cannon at her head. She flipped up and sliced the Formless holding her. Then she turned to the robot.
"I will never join," were her last words before a blast hit her and sent her flying. She felt glass, then wall. Everything went black.
"That's all I remember."
"So, you have no idea how or where your tube went?" Chiro asked.
"Nope."
"And you have no idea why Bone Head was..." Sprx began.
"Or is..." Gibson added.
"...trying to get you." Nova finished. Zaintar shook her head. Otto was completely not listening to the conversation. He dozed off in his chair. Nova gave the chair a hard spin. He jerked awake.
"So...she part of the team then?" She asked. Antari answered that.
"Well...I believe the Alchemist had a reason..."
"Who the heck was the Alchemist?" Zaintar butted in. Antari explained that the Alchemist was the good side of Skeleton King. He got too close to evil and made the monkeys to stop him from his evil gripping hold of ShuggaZoom. But, they didn't know that there were others made by him. She was the first they had seen.
"So, I decided that we should have you on the team, for certain reasons."
"Sweeet!" Otto exclaimed happily. "We have a dragon on the team. I was wanting a stronger team member for a long time." Zaintar smiled. Joy filled those weird grey eyes. She finally had people she could finally call her "friends".
