Grunty: Hillary's busy, so she told me to type the story. Bear with me…

Zaintar: (Standing in the doorway, clears her throat) Excuse me?

Grunty: (hugging the computer monitor) Mine! Back off!

(Zaintar lunges at Grunty. They roll across the floor. I come back in, wiping my hands on my pants. I see the two fighting on the floor.)

Me: Did I just miss somethin'?

Zaintar & Grunty: This isn't concernin' you!

Me: O.k (looking uneasily at the two characters)…Ch. 11!

Sprx suddenly woke. He looked at his radio clock. The green numbers read 3:15 a.m. Mumbling, he tried to go back to sleep, but nothing happened. Finally choosing to get up, he slowly got out of his bed and walked sleepily out of his room. The main room was dark, except for a little bit of light from a lamp. Sprx was heading for the kitchen, when he suddenly ran into someone. The figure grunted. Sprx fell backwards, landing on his rear. He glared up at figure, but then his face turned into horror. He screamed and ran, waking up Zaintar. She looked down and saw the figure. Happiness ran across her face. She leaped down.

Nova was curled up in a warm ball, smiling as she dreamed. Suddenly, she heard Sprx pound on the door. She groaned and threw a pillow at the red monkey as he ran in.

"Go away! Or I'll make you!" she threatened. He didn't budge. She said something under her breath and got up. When she looked at Sprx's face, her mind started worrying. His face was full of horror.

"Sprx…" she whispered uneasily.

"SOMEONE BUSTED INTO THE ROBOT! THEY'RE IN THE MAIN ROOM!" Sprx screamed hysterically. She put her hands in front of her.

"Alright, jeez, calm down…" she didn't finish. The red monkey ran off toward Gibson's room. She ran after him. When everyone was awake, they followed Sprx to the main room. Chiro rubbed his eyes tiredly, looking down at Antari.

"What's he talkin' about?" the boy asked. Antari shrugged. When they went into the main room, their expressions changed. Someone was squeezing Zaintar really hard and she wriggled and struggled. They took it as an attack.

"Zaintar! We're here!" Otto said. He launched at the "attacker". But the saws did little effect to the brute. Nova went next.

"Knuckle Dusters!" She punched the figure. Her hand vibrated, which then rippled through her body. She yelped out in pain and hopped around, holding her hurting hand. Zaintar finally got out of the thing's grasp. She threw her hands up.

"Whoa! Monkey Team! He's good! HE'S GOOD!" she yelled at them. The team stopped in mid air. They came back down to earth. The brute kneeled beside Zaintar.

"They always like this?" he asked, his gruff voice shaking the other's bodies. Zaintar shook her head.

"No…well, not always," she replied. Then she looked around. "Hey, 631, where the others?" she asked. 631 stood up.

"Outside," he replied, walking to a tube. Zaintar followed. The others, except Sprnten, stayed back. Sprx leaned over to Antari.

"Do you think Big Guy will fit inside that tube and not get stuck?"

"Yes, I believe he might," he said, following Zaintar. The others gathered up the courage and went to the tubes. When they were outside, their jaws dropped. In front of them, two big ships were standing there, with beings unloading things off them. One in particular walked up to them.

"You mind givin' a hand here? There's a bunch more stuff to unload," she said. The voice was familiar from the one on the communication. Nova nodded.

"Sure 007," she replied, grasping hold of Sprx hand. The others walked over to the ships. A small alien was at the top of the ramp, handing things to the unloaders. The alien saw Otto walk up. It smiled and handed the green monkey a rather big container.

"Here ya go, monkey," he said, throwing the box to Otto. He caught it, but then got squished underneath the immense weight. Sprnten laughed and picked up the box from off the green pancake that was once Otto.

"Never trust a Grunt with handin' things to you. Especially that one," he laughed, thrusting a thumb over to the Grunt. Otto turned back into his normal state and went back to unloading. Nova was carrying two boxes, Sprx complaining about one small box he seemed not to be able to pick up.

"It's too heavy!" he whined. One Spartan walked over to him and picked up the box herself.

"Fine," she sneered at him. "Be a wimp and go whining about things, you hopeless case they call a hyperfocre member." The Spartan laughed and walked off, leaving Sprx in his anger. Soon, the ships were emptied and the allies were filled with the friends. They all introduced themselves. Zaintar was busy with something when a little Grunt walked over to her.

"Zaintar?" she asked, shyly. Zaintar nodded. "You know about healin'?" Zaintar looked oddly over at the Grunt.

"Well, er, not entirely, but, somewhat, yes," Zaintar replied uneasily. Lia, seeing Bubbles over by Zaintar, hurried over to them.

"Sorry, Zaintar, but it's really important. Bubbles, this little Grunt, has had a tummy ache ever since we left Earth. It's starting to get worse every day, and, well, I was wondering, could you help her? Please?" Lia pleaded. Zaintar looked at Lia, then at Bubbles.

"Sure…I have just the thing." Zaintar stretched out a hand to Bubbles. She hesitated before grasping the hand extended to her. Before their hands touched, Gibson called for her. Sighing, she walked over to him, promising the Grunts she'll be right back, if the blue monkey released her before Bubbles bedtime. The two went into the robot, alone, and then walked into the lab. Gibson took out things that looked like coverings to wings of some sort.

"Wings," he said flatly. Zaintar looked at him surprised.

"Excuse me?"

"Wings, Zaintar. My word…wings. Your…"

"I know what you're talkin' about, but, why?"

"Zaintar, please," Gibson sounded annoyed. Zaintar finally let them out of their compartment. She looked at them in complete shock. They were torn and useless. She thought about the battle with Sprnten, how that monkey shot her wings. She didn't know that they were "that" damaged. He grabbed one part of the coverings.

"It'll take a few minutes…and it wouldn't hurt you," he reassured her. She nodded and let him tamper with her wings. Soon the repair was done and Zaintar flexed her new and improved wings. She smiled in satisfaction. She thanked the blue monkey and hurried out. The Rouge team and the Monkey Team were seated around in a circle, each telling their tales. Zaintar chuckled and shook her head. Lia was seated near a tent, with Bubbles playing jacks near by. Zaintar waved and trotted over to them. Bubbles leaped up excitedly. Zaintar winked at the Grunt.

"Ready to go?" she asked, motioning her to grasp her hand. Bubbles grasped it without hesitation. Zaintar nodded to Lia and the dragon's new wings popped out of their compartment. Bubbles eyes widened with joy. With one flap of her wings, they were up in the air. Bubbles squealed with happiness. Zaintar flew up in the clouds, making Bubbles laugh as she was being tickled by the fluffiness of them. Zaintar stayed up in the clouds for a while before dipping toward the water. Bubbles hands clutched harder onto Zaintar's shoulders. Zaintar then zoomed over the water, almost touching it. Bubbles stuck her finger in the water as they flew over. Zaintar decided to do her little "healing". She hummed and dipped her wing into the water. A white streak tailed behind the wing. Bubbles looked down at it and, hesitating, she let her finger go into the white. Suddenly, the white streak went to her arm then to her chest. Bubbles screamed in surprise. Zaintar hushed her, telling her that it was o.k. Then Zaintar felt the pain in Bubbles body disappear. Then Bubbles fell asleep. Zaintar caught her before she fell into the water. Zaintar then went back to the make shift camp of the Rouge team and dropped Bubbles back over by Lia. Lia smiled, relief running across her face. She heaved the small alien in her arms.

"You know," Lia said. "This was a wonderful thing for you to do…helping her out and stuff. Thanks." Lia laid Bubbles down on a cot. Zaintar put a hand on her shoulder.

"Lia, I'll do anything to help you and the others with anything, they just got to ask me." She laughed. Lia laughed along with her. Then they exited. Zaintar glanced at one of their ships. Huge parts of metal were replaced and long gash were found near the front. "Well…what happened? Looks like you were in war before you got here." Zaintar looked at the Grunt curiously. Lia sighed.

"Everything was goin' great until…"

Grunty braced himself as another rocket hit the ship. He propelled into Tukri, making both fall. The explosions did little effect to Tweedledum and Tweedledee. They looked at each other then back to the front, where Ali-Koti was driving, trying to get the thing that was chasing them off their butts. Lia was cradling Bubbles, who was screaming and crying, who was holding her Booboo, a stuffed Spartan toy. Ali-Koti then yelled over her shoulder.

"Grunty! Get the Hunters and get that thing off my tail! It's killin' us with these mines!" she yelled. Grunty saluted and motioned the two Hunters to follow him. They went into the gun room, where 631, 342, and 801 were shooting at the enemy. 801 saw them come in.

"Boss, nothin's damaging that! We're using the powerful blasts we got!" she shouted over the gun fire. Grunty rubbed his neck.

"Well, Ali-Koti told me to deal with it! You guys get out of here and help up there! The damage is pretty bad!" he shouted back. 801 told the others and they left. Grunty then brought the Hunters over to the guns. "Alright, here's what ya goin' to do. Stick you guns into these and blast away at the thing that's hittin' us and the others!" Tweedledum and Tweedledee nodded and did as the Grunt said. They aimed and fired at the thing. It hit. Grunty leaped up in the air happily, but Tweedledum snarled.

"Dang, it didn't do a thing," he growled. Suddenly, the Phantom did an unexpected halt. Grunty flew into Tweedledee. He regained himself and hurried to the driver's compartment. The others, except Lia and Bubbles, were standing around the communicator. The trio made their way over to it too. Ali-Koti was looking like she was about to exploded.

"We want to get through here without any damage or harm done to us! It's not your galaxy! Now let us through!" she yelled into the communicator.

"And I want to know what you are doing around in these parts," an all too familiar voice replied. "You seem a little far away from home." Grunty growled and muttered 'Skeleton King' under his breath. Ali-Koti clenched her fists.

"And I told you, none of your business, Bone Bags! It's our business, not yours!" SK chuckled.

"Oh, but it is my business, if you are going to foil my plans," he said coolly. Grunty yanked the communicator from the frustrated captain's hand.

"Listen, Wing Head," Grunty said as calmly as possible. "We got little ones and ones on the way on the ship. Now, let us through and…maybe we'll let you go without hurting you that much." At that, Lia screamed.

"Bubbles is having it again!" Lia cried. Grunty dropped the communicator and went over to Bubbles. She was thrashing around, hands on her head, screaming in agony. Grunty went over to her, grasping her. Tukri knew what was really happening. He took the communicator.

"SK, leave Bubbles alone! She ain't part of this! If I have to, I'll go over there and go whoop you butt!" he snarled. Skeleton King yet again chuckled.

"But, it is fun to see your reactions toward things that happen to the little ones. Fine, I'll stop." Then Bubbles stopped and sat up. She glared angrily at the communicator.

"I hate you," she growled, clenching her hands into fists. SK suddenly started laughing. That's when Ali-Koti smashed the communicator with her fist. 631 snorted.

"You know, I was goin' to do that myself. That Bone Bags is dead meat when I'm through with him," he snarled.

Zaintar flicked her tail around.

So…Bones knows about the plan…wonder how? She looked over to the big circle. It was thinning out, most the Monkey Team was back in the Robot, catching some Zs. Only Antari, Sprnten, and her were out with the Rouges that were awake. Most of the team was in their tents. 007, 801, 342, and Ali-Koti were the only ones talking to the ones awake. Zaintar made her way to them. Antari was the first to notice her.

"You still are awake? I'm surprised," he said. Zaintar nodded and plopped down by Sprnten.

"It ain't that easy to put me out for a long time," she said with a wink. Ali-Koti sat beside Antari.

"Well, we're here. So, what's the plan? Or…do you need sometime to yet think of it?" the black Elite asked. Zaintar nodded.

"Yep, it's formed and ready. But I think we should rest and get our energy ready for it. Come on guys! Night!" she said, grabbing hold of Sprnten's shoulder and started dragging him away. He was kicking and screaming. Antari rolled his eyes and got up.

"NO! I AIN'T GOIN' TO BED! I AIN'T TIRED! I'M…I'm…" was all that was heard from Sprnten as he fell asleep. Snores erupted from him. Zaintar heaved him over her shoulders and walked on, Antari close behind. 801 looked at her friend and laughed hard.

"That's a big un, Zaintar. Nice trophy!" she called after her. Zaintar laughed along.

"I better hurry so it stays that way! I still need to take a picture and hang him up!" 801 laughed harder. Antari chuckled. Zaintar made it to the Robot, with no problems at all, not at least from Sprnten. But her arm exploded with pain. She held a yelp and went inside.

Sorry it took so long…and that it is long…reviews please! Zaintar loves 'em! If you are wondering what the world Grunts and Elites and Hunters and those guys that are listed in the story that you have no idea what they are, they are from a game called Halo and Halo 2.
