Chapter One:

Clingy

Gibson slowly opens his eyes the next morning and felt something light on top of his head. He groans, knowing very well who it is, and looked up to see a small dark blue wing hanging just above his eyes.

He shifted till he was lying on his back and let the sleeping little dragon roll off his head and onto his chest. Without even opening her eyes, Isis yawned, curled up into a little ball and fell back to sleep.

Gibson sighed (Every night, why did Otto even made her a bed in the first place) He thought as he sat up.

A month passed since Isis's owner left her here to live with the Hyper Force and Gibson was the monkey who had to take care of her, whether he like it or not. He's only doing this because Antauri told him this temporary visit wasn't going to be a short one after the things he told him about Isis being a danger to her own planet and the fact that the little blue dragon only trusts him. Gibson still finds that hard to believe, but he did what he was told, no matter how many times he told Antauri, he wasn't fit to take care of a baby.

Gibson scooped up Isis into his metal arms and walked over to her little light blue bed and laid her down. He covered her with her blanket and snuck out of his room to enjoy a few minutes of peace without the little thing bothering him.

(The Clingy little thing) he thought.

The first week of her staying with them, he learned that the little dragon was clingy, very clingy, she wouldn't leave him alone, for not even a second. Everywhere he goes, she was right there on top of his head, telling him stories about her days back at her planet or sleeping.

Working on some new experiments in his lab became somewhat of a phobia to him. He starts up something then Isis appears complaining about Sprx not leaving her alone about wishes then something blows ups. He yells, she cries while apologizing til finally Gibson told her not to bother him in his lab for now on. Oddly enough, Isis obeys him and his lab was now the only place where he can find peace.

(At least she listens) Gibson thought as he started bringing things out for breakfast. He's usually the first one up followed by Antauri then the others.

"Morning, Gibson"

Gibson turned around to see Antauri taking a seat at the table. "Morning, Antauri" he said

"I see Isis isn't with you" He said

"No, she's still sleeping, her training must've been exhausting"

"It would have been easier if you were there" Antauri said "you know how she is, she only listens to you or Otto. Nova had a hard time trying to make her jog a few laps."

"I had to do something in my lab" Gibson said (or in my case get some peace)

"You're always doing something in your lab, I see her standing next to the door for hours, waiting for you to get out til she falls asleep or when Otto takes her to the training room" Antauri said, calmly.

Gibson sighed, Isis still doesn't get along with the others, mostly Sprx and Nova, saying they were crazy (Sprx) and scary (Nova). And when Antauri banned her from sweets, after the second time she had some and thought he was chocolate again, he wasn't on her "likeable List" either.

Gibson still remembers the first time she started training to try to control her powers.


Isis held onto Gibson tightly as he tried to yank her off. "Please Gibson, don't leave me alone with him, he's mean" She said

Antauri rolled his eyes, thinking this is going to be a long day.

"Isis, he's just going to help you mastered your powers a little more," Gibson said. "So, your wish-making powers will be easier to control"

"He's just going to yell at me for eating sweets with Otto again" Isis said

"I promise you, he won't" Gibson said, but Isis still wouldn't let him go.

"Gibson, perhaps you should stay to keep her comfortable" Antauri asked

"Please Gibson, Please" Isis begged

Gibson sighed and sat down while holding Isis in his lap. Isis looked up at him and smiled then listen very carefully to Antauri's teachings. Isis has the power to control her orb to grant wishes or not; she just have to concentrate really hard.


It's been that way every single day for the last month. Gibson would be there, watching Isis building up muscle with Nova, target practice with Chiro and Sprx which leads to an argument between Isis and Sprx that end up with Sprx being treated with burns. Then about an hour of concentrating her powers with Antauri and as long as he was with her, she didn't complain.

The two monkeys heard someone talking while coming down one of the tubes and knew very well who it was. Otto came out of his green tube, holding Isis in his arms, talking about the adventures the Team was in back when Skeleton King was alive.

"Then the weird guy came out of nowhere dress up like Chiro and wearing a Chiro head and started to hypnotize us in to thinking he was Chiro" Otto said

"Then what happened, Otto" Isis asked

Gibson was very thankful that Otto is here to help him out with the little Clingy. Otto was really the one taking care of Isis, would play with her, feeds her and make sure she takes her baths or naps. Otto grew very fond of the little dragon, and didn't mind being hugged every five minutes. Gibson didn't like it very much when Isis invades his space with hugs.

Too much in deep thought Gibson didn't hear Isis shouting out his name then the next thing he knew he was tackled, spilling the cereal he was about to eat and crashed to the floor. Nova's training was paying off because he could feel his ribs crushing from the Clingy's hug.

"Morning, Gibson" she said, while Otto laughed..

He sighed again "Morning Isis"

Gibson got up from the floor, place Isis on the table next to him and gasp for air but that only made the pain worse "Isis, how many times did I tell you not to hug me so hard"

"Um . . . three times an hour" She said

(She is hanging out with Otto too much to have that sarcasm) He thought, then looked at the mess on the table. "I wish this mess was clean up" he said

Isis smiled as her orb glowed and made the mess disappear. "Can I have some pancakes, I wish for a stack of pancakes with maple syrup" Otto said

A stack of pancakes appeared in front of him, soaked in maple syrup that made Otto drool as he dives his fork into the fluffy food.

"Otto, stop making useless wishes" Antauri said, he was afraid that the others would take advantage of Isis's wish-making powers.

Otto was too busy gobbling down the pancakes while Isis made a bowl of cereal appear next to Gibson followed by a glass of orange juice. Antauri stared at the little dragon, who was smiling at Gibson as he ate, and knew how fond she was toward Gibson but he also knew that Gibson didn't seems to know or care.

Gibson flinches a bit when Isis sat on top of his head and made a blueberry muffin appear to eat.

"You want her to fix you up something, Antauri"

"I'll just make my own cereal" He said. Antauri didn't want to admit that he fears her magic powers. It's very unpredictable, silly and dangerous at the same time.

Another hour passed before the rest of the team came down to eat breakfast and Isis was "kindly" enough to make them breakfast. Cereal, toast, and juice and as always Sprx's breakfast would appear above his head.

"Thanks, Isis" Chiro said, being thankful that he was on Isis's good list as he ate some cereal.

Nova was holding back her giggles as she stared at Sprx, who sat there, soaked in milk when his breakfast fell on him. "Thanks" he said sarcastically, spitting out some milk.

Isis giggled and took another bite of her blueberry muffin, she loves living here with Gibson and the others.

A small ship floated near the planet of Shuggazoom with the new and improved, fully robotic orange monkey pondering over how to deal with the team once he meets them again. With the boy as their leader, he doesn't know what to expect or how powerful they have gotten.

He cursed his predicament, yes he was alive and was thankful to have his youth and weapons back and was even given a few powers from the Dark Worm but . . .

(It not enough, I need more power) He thought. (But how)

He shook his head and decided to think about power later, right now, he needs to put the first part of his plan into action. (Making a dramatic entrance) he thought.

He opened a hatch and walked up to the roof of his ship, being fully robotic, he didn't need air to breathe. He cupped his hands together and slowly pulled them apart, forming a small purple, glowing energy ball. "Whatever absorb this energy will be tainted and will go on a destructive rampage and won't stop til its bitter end"

He laughed as he shot the energy ball to the city and watched it enter the atmosphere. "This is a good way to see how strong my brothers gotten during my absences"

He just has to wait til something absorbs his tainted power before he could make his next move.

The purple ball of energy flew down into the city and down into the corner of a dark alley where it was covered in spider webs. A spider crawled around then the next thing it knew the dark energy started to absorb into it causing it to glow a dark purple as it started to grow.

Tainted.

"Do you have to do your lab experience" Isis frowned "I thought we can go to the park"

It was high noon and everyone went off to do their daily things, which mean Gibson will be cooped up in his lab again. Isis, on the other hand, wanted to spend some time with the blue monkey. She laid there on top of his head, begging and pleading for him to say yes, but only getting no or an excuse.

"Not today Isis, can't you make Otto take you" Gibson asked

"But I want you to go with me" Isis said "It will be fun, please"

"Don't you have training to do with Antauri or Chiro" Gibson asked

"Yes, but I want to be with you and since you don't let me into your lab anymore I thought a day at the park would be nice" Isis said, leaning over too far that made her fall, but Gibson caught her and she laughs.

Gibson sighed, "look Isis, we need to talk"

"Is this one of your science lectures like the one you explain to me about wormholes" She asked.

"No, this is about you and me"

"Ok, what is it" She asked, smiling.

(You can do this, Gibson, just tell her you don't like it when she's around you all the time and didn't even want the responsibility of taking care of her when her owner is gone. And might as well tell her that her owner isn't coming back) His brain said, but he did have to remember that Isis's powers have been increasing and he could easily be burn to a crisp like all the times Sprx was.

"Well, now I don't want you to be offended but-"

He was interrupted when the alarm went off "We'll talk about this later" he said, running off to the command center.

"Can I come this time" Isis asked

"No, it's best if you stay here and out of harm's way" Gibson said

Isis frowned and sat there, Gibson never wanted her to fight in the battle like the rest of the team . . .
