Zaintar looked around her. She saw a some sort of mebrane surrounding her. Also, she was rolled up in a ball. Zaintar tried to unroll, bu she quit and saw some shadows. Curiuos, she watched as they moved. One, which was closer and more destinct to see, was huge, dragon like shadow. Zaintar saw a tail unwrap from around her body and whip out at other shadows.
Humans. Zaintar snarled. The dragon roared and reared. It came back down with a thundering crash. Zaintar bounced up in the air and landed softly. Half the humans were gone, but the dragon was being overpowered. The dragon did one last desprate move to protect herself, but was piled on top of. Then she went still. Zaintar felt like something sliced off her arms. She yelped out in pain as it came shearing through her body. One of the humans heard her yelp and said something in a frantic voice. Other humans ran over. Zaintar started to get scared and closed her eyes. Suddenly there were screams of pain then followed by thuds. She opened her eyes. She saw no more shadows. Nothing. She thought it was over, but saw one shadow come out from some place. It came over and picked her up. Zaintar started to move and wriggle. A hand rubbed the mebrane like a cat.
"It's alright little one. Sleep, just sleep." Zaintar felt her eyes droop and soon she was sleeping.
"Alright. Your all fixed up," Gibson's voice woke her up. Zaintar sat up and looked at him.
"Thanks," she said. Zaintar leaped from the table and walked with Gibson into the main room. Before any one could ask how is she, Nova grasped her hand and sat her down.
"Now, tell all of us what happened this morning?" Nova said, staring straight into Zaintar's eyes. Zaintar looked at the others. Their faces were all facing her. She sighed and told them of her morning "inccedent".
"Oh wait till me and Martria get into a fight. She'll wish she never turned to the dark side," Nova growled, moving a fist in front of her face. Zaintar looked nervously at her. Nova saw what she was doing and smiled.
"Hey now I don't want you to get all worrying about me or anything..." Nova was cut short by Zaintar shaking her head.
"No, I'm worried also, but also afraid of you, all of you." Zaintar dropped her gaze on her turned up claws.
"I know you all were wondering why Martria decided to turn on me," she continued. "We...got into an argument..."
"About what?" Chiro blurted out.
"SHHHH!" Nova hushed.
"...and never forgave each other." Zaintar let that day flow in. "Eventually, we forgot about it till ol' Bone Bags brought it back up. He told her he would make her stronger than me. So, she took it and turned. She swore she would make my life miserable, destorying the little friends I had." Zaintar paused. Nova felt a little guilty about the whole thing and was going to say: Hey forget about it, but Zaintar kept going.
"And if she is chasing after me, then that means SK is still alive."
"No way," Chiro butted in. "We watched him be destroyed. He couldn't possibily live through that."
"Maybe she's just P.O about her master being gone and wanted to get revenge on us and saw Zaintar was back. She probably decided that Zaintar was a bonus kill and was trying to kill her and then get to us." Sprx reassured, making himself believe that Skeleton King was gone for good.
"But all Skeleton King needed was a sacrfice of some kind," Antari stated. "Maybe he was given a sacrfice before and the effect didn't fully work. Maybe he wanted us to destroy the Dark One worm so he could live again." Everyone shuddered. Zaintar suddenly felt odd. She felt like she hated him for being alive, yet was also glad he was back. Her head started to pounded.
What the heck is happening? Her thoughts screamed. Suddenly, the alarm went off. Gibson looked at the screen.
"Unbelievable," he gasped. Everyone turned toward the screen.
"Formless attacking the east side of ShuggaZoom," Gibson replied. The team looked at each other. Zaintar morfed her hands into machine guns.
"Now for some pay back," she whispered to herself.
