Hey yet again...sorry for not updating sooner…but power outage during the big hailstorm in Mich. Was horrible…thanks for the reviews...I really appreciate it. Sprnten is a protector. So... if people were thinking the other way around...
Sprnten: ZAINTAR! ZAINTAR! GET YOUR DRAGON BUTT OVER HERE AND GIVE ME BACK MY COMICS!
Zaintar :( taunting) Ooooo! It's a...whoa Sprnten! You actually have these ones! Oh man! HAHAHA!
Sprnten: Yeah...well I at least don't collect posters of Mike from Linkin Park!
Zaintar: At least there better than these stupid comics!
Sprnten: Bionicles aren't "stupid"!
Chiro: They so are man.
Sprnten: Really...not as dumb as Sun Riders!
Chiro: (yells angrily) I DON'T WATCH THEM ANYMORE!
Sprnten: Oh then...what about these Sun Rider underpants I found in your drawer mean?
Chiro: GIVE THEM BACK!
Sprx: What's up? (Sprnten comes up and puts the underwear over Sprx head) Sprnten!
Sprnten: MUHHAHAHAHAHAH!
Me: Oh...people...here's the next chap...SPRNTEN! PUT THAT CHAINSAW DOWN!
When the two came back, Zaintar saw they team was really worried about her. All of them, including Antari, hugged her, which shocked her and surprised her more than ever. She gave the team an odd look.
"Why...did ya hug me? I'm that type of person who doesn't liked to be hugged," she told them. Sprnten, coming from behind her, gave her a huge hug. Zaintar gave a little scream and wriggled out of his grasp. They all laughed, but for Sprnten, he was dealt with the mighty wrath of Zaintar (and trust me, you don't want to know the experience). He was lying on the floor, twitching and moaning after Zaintar was done with him. She dusted her hands and looked at the others.
"Who's next?" she challenged. Everyone stepped back, including Nova. Zaintar gave out a laugh again. Suddenly, her world started to spin, very slowly at first, but then faster.
What...her thoughts slurred. She blinked as she suddenly felt her legs buckle and fall. Her vision blurred and she felt her body fall to the metallic floor. The last thing she saw was a hand extending down to her.
Blackness.
Zaintar woke up in med. bay. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. A man was standing near her bed, smiling at her. He had one red eye and one blue eye. He was wearing a dark blue robe that had a hood and it covered his feet.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked. Zaintar stretched and yawned.
"Could of slept better," she replied, rubbing the back of her neck. The man chuckled.
"I tried to keep them quiet, but, you know monkeys," he joked. The two laughed. Zaintar leaped from the table and grasped hold of the man's hand. He stood also and walked with her out of the room. She looked up at the man's face. His smiling expression was now a serious and sad face. Zaintar rubbed the man's hand.
"Are you alright?" she asked him. He stopped and sighed.
"I am troubled somewhat of an incident I have later regretted," he said, looking down at the dragon. "It's torn me apart and I have made a huge choice. Whether to save you or let you die." Zaintar looked away from the man. He squeezed her hand.
"Now, I don't want this to trouble you," he said. "Today is a special day. So, why don't you run along and get ready. I'll be with you in a few minutes." Zaintar released his hand and ran off. She heard the man sigh and walked off. She turned around to see if the man was alright when Mandarin, in his robot monkey form, was standing there.
"Come on," he said, grabbing her arm. "We have to get you ready." Zaintar followed him. She looked over her shoulder. She saw no one. Sighing, she turned back around.
"Gibson. Antari. I have to tell ya somethin'," she heard Mandarin say. She looked at him oddly. Then the voice changed into Sprnten's.
"This is very important. And I do know this is true," she heard him say when she hit consciousness. She rolled over on her side, away from the three, just so they wouldn't stop talking and see if she was fine. She was in med. bay, which she had seen many times before. "Since I was on Bone Bags team...I knew all of his future plans for ShuggaZoom...and Zaintar." She froze. Fear crept up her throat.
Why's he after me? What did I do to him? She ran over her past encounters with him, but only her one battle before she blacked out came. She didn't remember anything else past that. She heard Antari give out a sigh.
"I was afraid you were going to say that…Zaintar's been having 'odd' things happening to her. Very odd," Antari replied.
"Like what?" Sprnten asked, concerned about his former partner in bad guy fighting.
"She's been acting all sick…when she coughs, blood comes out…she's been not getting a whole lot of sleep…"
"Well, I believe it's just a phase," Gibson said matter-of-factly.
"No way…this isn't phase. I was…kinda scared that you would kick me out…if I told you this…" Sprnten sighed. "I gave Zaintar a virus…a type of virus that has you-know-who written all over it." Silence. Zaintar curled up in a ball. She closed her eyes, but the image of the world exploding to millions of pieces and Skeleton King laughing over it flashed across her eye lids. She reopened her eyes and rolled over to the three. They turned to her.
"How ya doin'?" Sprnten asked, his voice changing back into its old self.
"Ah…can't complain…nice nap…you guys watchin' me…I bet any girl would kill to be treated like this all the time," Zaintar joked.
"Now that's the ol' Zaintar I've been waitin' for to pop out!" Sprnten exclaimed, giving the dragon a hug. Zaintar let him, even though she didn't actually enjoy it. Antari looked her over with a concern look on his face.
"How am I doc?" Zaintar asked the blue monkey, who seemed to be looking at an image of her body on a screen. "Did ya ask?" Gibson looked at her.
"I…need to look at your body to make sure nothing bad happened to it…" he paused as he stared at her body image. "Huh…that's impossible!" Zaintar looked to the screen. She saw that her insides weren't insides at all. It was a pulling mass of black and white, with robotic parts here and there. In the middle, was a glowing white and black ball, attached with some odd vein like things. She gasped as she looked at her own body. Sprnten sighed.
"I think I'm goin' to have to explain this…odd body thing to ya," Sprnten said. "Well…me and Zaintar…aren't like you guys…we have powers…big powers…maybe stronger than the Power Primate…especially Mrs. Virus-containing Dragon. She has…powers even she doesn't know about…and I know this for a fact, since Rock for Brains…SK I'm referring to…told me everything. Anyway, I was told Zaintar isn't a normal dragon…she's more of a rare species of dragons…actually the only type of her kind. That's why SK wants her so bad. She's a dark and light. A demon and angel. Scary, yeah. Danger, a whole lot. Bad guys wanting her, you better believe it. But…the virus will make sure she's on his side…oh yeah."
"Then how is it activated?" Gibson asked.
"The only way to have it activated…is to keep her long enough on the dark side or near somethin' evil which then will trigger the virus to take hold of her core…which is the ball right here," he pointed to the thing in her middle. "The only way to get her there long enough is that if Skeleton King has her securely in his grasps…and if we can't save her in time…then it's over." Silence circled the cyborgs. Zaintar was having a tough time believing that "she", a mere dragon/robot, trying to survive the harsh conditions of the world, and Skeleton King, the evilest guy she could ever imagine, was chasing her.
"So…does this mean I can't fight?" Zaintar asked anxiously.
"I…I'm not so sure, yet," Antari replied. "I think, if only something that is not from Skeleton King, like an alien or something, then its all right. But, anything associated with him…no. Not until we find a way to help you with what you got." Zaintar grunted.
"What ya goin' to do with me? Hide me some place till the threat passes, if it's Bone Bags?" she questioned. Gibson and Antari were silent. "You do have a place then?" They nodded. "Great, perfect," Zaintar mumbled.
So…freaky about Zaintar inside…I couldn't think of what to do, so I decided to do that.
Next, 10!
