B: (sleeping)

Isis: the report wore her out a bit so I'll be the one introducing the next chapter, so like always thanks for the reviews and here's the next chapter.


Chapter Five: Fed Up!

Isis slowly opened her eyes to a blurry vision of green and groan. Her entire face was throbbing in pain in the part where Mandarin smacked her. Her vision started to get clearer and she saw Otto standing above her, smiling.

"Isis" Otto whispered "can you hear me"

Isis groaned again and tried to speak but her mouth felt like it was being blocked. Then the event that happened just an hour ago started to pour back into her mind. She started to panic and tried so hard to speak but it only brought more pain in her mouth. This was probably the worst pain she ever experienced since the day she started teething when she was just a few days old.

(Otto, Otto! Mandarin attacked me. He's dangerous!) Isis thought.

The words were screaming in her mind but her mouth was too swollen to speak. Otto just gave her a blank stare then place his metal hands on her little shoulders and made her lied down in the Med. bed she was on.

"You need to take it easy, that bruise on your face is really swollen" Otto said.

(No kidding) she thought.

"Good thing Mandarin found you in the training room" Otto said "you really need to be careful with those machines"

(Otto, Mandarin is a lair, he's the one who did this to me) Isis thought and tried to talk again.

"How's she doing?"

They turned to see Gibson walking into the room with a cup of water that had a blue straw in it.

"Her face is really swollen, she can't talk" Otto said.

(Gibson, Mandarin, he's up to something, he been telling me you hate me) Isis shouted in her mind (I wish my mouth wasn't swollen shut)

Gibson raised an eyebrow from Isis's paranoid behavior "calm down Isis, and drink this" he said.

Isis looked at the cup with curiosity in her blue eyes and looked up at Gibson "its medicine mixed with water, this will help ease the pain and the swelling" he said

"Are you sure she can drink that" Otto asked

"That's why I brought the straw" Gibson said then lower the cup to Isis's lever "now, just open your mouth just a little bit"

Isis, as always, obeyed the blue monkey and opened her mouth just enough for the straw. The pain subsides as the coolness, not to mention the awful taste of the medicine, of the water filled her mouth.

"Lucky for her, she didn't get her teeth knocked out by the way that bruise is forming on her face" Otto joked.

"This is no time for you jokes Otto" Gibson said.

"Sorry" Otto said, frowning and feeling a little guilty for not watching Isis carefully while Gibson was working in his lab.

After Isis was finish drinking all the water in the cup, her eyes started to get heavy causing her to lean against Gibson's chest.

"It looks like the medicine is kicking in" Gibson said.

(What's kicking in) Isis thought as her mind started getting foggy.

"Drowsiness is one of the side effects, this will help her sleep while she's healing" Gibson said.

"Then that's good then, right?" Otto asked.

Gibson nodded while Isis started to get a little scare (I can't fall asleep, he'll come after me!) Isis shouted in her mind (I must stay awake . . . I . . . must . . . stay . . . awake) Isis's closed her eyes and was fast asleep.

Gibson gently pulls Isis away from him and laid her down on the bed "she'll be out for a couple of hours"

"She's going to be ok right" Otto asked

"Of course Otto, it just a bruise on her face" Gibson said. "Come on, it's time for portal duty and this would give the little Clingy some time to rest" Gibson said.

"What about Mandarin, Chiro still doesn't trust him alone"

"For some reason Mandarin went off somewhere to meditate again, he's not in the Robot"

"Oh" he said then realizes something "Clingy?" Otto asked as they walked out of the Med. Room.

"Don't tell me you don't know the definition of cling" Gibson asked

"I know the word, but I don't think she's a Clingy" Otto said

Gibson looked at him in disbelief and wonders why it's only him that the little dragon is so attach too. Frankly, he can't stand her being so close to him and bothering him all the time, but for now while she is resting he can have some time alone during portal duty.

The two monkeys walked down the hall to the command center, not knowing that Mandarin was leaning against the wall of another hallway and waited til they were gone to appear.

"Now that they're gone, Isis and I can finish that little "chat" we had" Mandarin said, walking over to the Med. Room. The door opened up and Mandarin walked in to see Isis sleeping on one of the Med. Beds.

He walked over to her and smiled at her in sweet mocking way "ah, look at her, probably dreaming sweet, sweet dream" he said, as his hand started to glow an evil purple "that's about to be a living nightmare"

With that, he places the tips of his claws on top of her head to turn her dream in to a nightmare.


She was in a dark black place, alone and confuse. What happened to the dancing blueberries she loves to chase and eat.

"Hello?" she called out, but only heard her voice echoing back.

A white light appears behind her and she turned around to see a woman, dress in a pure white dress with little bits of light blue color holding a pure white orb. The woman stared at Isis with her pearl non-pupils white eyes and shook her head.

"Poor little one, the prophecy is about to begin" She said.

"Who are you" Isis shouted.

"The only way it will end is when the orb you carry breaks" she said then disappeared.

"Wait, wait, what are you talking about, what prophecy are you not telling me" Isis shouted and chased after her.

The white light faded and she was all alone in the dark when suddenly something purple jumped out of nowhere and nearly tackle her to the ground. Isis tumbled a couple of feet away from the attack and got up to see the foul orange creature staring at her with an ugly grin on his face.

"There's nowhere to hide, you will join me and make the prophecy come true" The foul orange laughed.

Isis crawled away from him til she managed to get back on her feet and run as far away as she can. The black world seemed endless as the orange thing started to gain up on her. Tears started foaming in her eyes as she tried to get away and spotted something blue up ahead.

"Gibson!" Isis cried out to him.

Gibson had his back turned and started to walk away.

"Gibson, wait, wait, don't leave me!" Isis cried out.

Gibson stop and turn around and stared at Isis with an expressionless face. Isis smiled and jump into the air hoping Gibson would catch her and fight off this orange monster what was coming closer by the second. Instead she was push away by Gibson's own hands and fell to the floor with a thump. She looked up and saw anger in the blue monkey's eyes.

"Gibson?" She called to him in a worry tone.

"Don't you dare come near me" Gibson shouted at her.

"W-w-what?" Isis stuttered.

"I am tired of you being around me all the time, you little annoying clingy thing" He said.

(This isn't Gibson, Gibson likes me) She thought. "But I thought you like me being around you"

"Like you, LIKE YOU, I don't like you, I never liked you, never had never will. I HATE YOU!" Gibson shouted at the top of his lungs and started walking away leaving Isis stunned and crushed.

"Gibson wait!" Isis shouted

"I HATE YOU, GO AWAY!" Gibson's voice echoes in the dark world.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as the orange monster grabbed her by the tail and started to surround her with a foul orange color. More tears pour down her cheeks and was about to be engulfed when she screamed "PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!"


Isis woke up to see Mandarin grinning at her and digging his claws deeper into her head. She struggles to get away and flew up into the air only to be slammed down to the floor. Her mouth saw still a little swollen so Isis couldn't call for help as she continues to struggles to get awayfrom Mandarin's grip. "Come down, didn't you like the nightmare you were having, I thought it was a good way to reveal the truth" Mandarin said.

Mandarin's eyes widened when he saw vision of memories that were Isis's playing like a film in his head. He saw a memory of Isis helping Gibson collecting purple goo after they defeated the spiderhe created. (This can't be good)

He was too distracted to see his tail swinging over to Isis's reach. Isis grabbed his tail and bit it as hard as she could causing him to scream and letting her go. She crawled away, still feeling a little dizzy from the medicine and the pain, and headed for the door.

A line of red dots appeared on Mandarin's tail and he walked over to her "so Gibson is doing tests on the purple goo am I right" He asked, smirking "unless those samples are gone, he won't know anything about my plans"

His eyes turned a deep dark purple color as he grabbed Isis by the tail and lifted her up to his eye view. "I'll deal with you later, I have a lab to destroy" he said, then toss her like a doll to the other side of the room. Isis slammed into the wall, nearly crushing her little dark blue wings as Mandarin headed out the Med. Room.

(he's going to destroy Gibson's lab) Isis thought as she struggles to get up (I must stop him)

She stretched out her wings and flew as fast as she could to catch up with Mandarin. She flew down the hallway and into the Command Center hoping anyone was around and was shock to find everyonewas gone. (Where is everybody) she thought.

She opened her mouth to say a word "Gibson?" she called out, ignoring the pain from her swollen mouth.

"On patrol duty, I'm afraid" Mandarin's voice echo her surroundings.

Isis jumped when he appeared a few yards away with his sword activated "so it's only you that keeping me from getting to that lab"

Isis was powerless at the time, her orb was still in Gibson's room and without it for powers were like a flame on a matchstick. (I have to try) she thought as she blocks the hallway that headed toward Gibson's lab.

Mandarin laughed "you actually think you're going to stop me, you little lizard"

Isis stood her ground so Mandarin shrugged and charged toward her with his blue sword. She flew up into the air before Mandarin could strike her and landed on top of his head. She unleashes her claws and scratch him in the face causing him to scream and banging his head on the walls to get her off of him. Isis stayed on his head for only a minute when she banged her head on the wall bring more pain to her bruise. But before she could hit the ground, she was grabbed by Mandarin's tail and was slammed again into the wall again.

"Puny, weak, thing" Mandarin said. "Why must we do things the hard way, if you would join me like I said you wouldn't be in so much pain" He ran off.

Isis struggled onto her feet (I won't let him get to the Lab)

She flew off but instead of following the orange monkey she flew off to Gibson's room.

Mandarin walked over to Gibson's Lab and grin despite the fact that the scratches on his face were now drawing blood. If Gibson did the test on the purple goo from the spider monster he created, they will know that the power came from the last bits of the dark worm. And frankly he will not let that happen when the team is starting to trust him.

The Lab was lock up tight to prevent anyone from getting in so using his sword Mandarin started cutting through the metal to make his own door. He was half way through when he heard growling from behind him and turned around to see Isis with her tail clutch tight on her orb that was glowing a bright blue color.

They stared down at each other for a minute til Mandarin spoke up "does he mean that much to you for you to fight me" he growled.

Isis only response was disappearing in thin air and reappearing above Mandarin and grabbed hold of his head again. Mandarin reached up and grabbed her wings and started pulling so she would let go. "Get off of me!" he shouted and started hitting himself against the wall.

Small blue sparks started to form on Isis's body and blasted Mandarin with her electrical attack. Mandarin screamed from the pain that his whole body started to glow purple of the dark power and blasted Isis with it. Her eyes started to burn when purple energy felt like acid and let him go. She fell to the ground and didn't get up this time. Mandarin fell to his knees, the power he unleashed was painful since his body was still getting use to it. He looked around and noticed the spot he was standing was slowly dissolving like... (Acid) Mandarin wondered (is this another power I have in this new body)

He grinned and got up to test out his new power. His hands started to glow purple and he touched the Lab door and watched in amazement when the door started to melt. When the door was completely melted enough for him to walk in, he looks around the blue lab to find the samples of the purple goo.

(But why look when you can destroy the whole thing) Mandarin thought.

But before he could start Isis attack him again with enough force for him to fall to the ground. Rage build up in the orange monkey "I said get off of me" he grabbed hold of Isis and threw her to the other side of the lab. She crashed into a cabinet of test tubs causing them to hit the floor and shattering into pieces. She let go of her orb and watch it helplessly rolled over to Mandarin.

He grabbed hold of it and smirked "it's too bad for you that I found a little secret about this orb when I was looking though your memories" he said causing Isis to shiver "if your little orb is abuse, you lose control of your powers am I right"

Isis gulped "please" she mange to say though her swollen mouth.

He made an evil grin as his hand started to glow purple and place it on the small orb. The orb made a sizzle sound, it wasn't melting it but the burning feeling could be felt by Isis. She felt her fire coming up causing her to cover her mouth from releasing it. Sparks started to fly off her blue scales but she holds them back.

"Come on don't hold it back" he said, hitting the orb against the counter repeatedly with more force then that last.

Isis couldn't hold it back any longer and with a heavy heart she lost control of her powers. Ice, fire, bubbles and lightning flew across the lab destroying everything insight while Mandarin stood there, dodging every attack.


Outside the city Antauri and Chiro were flying in the air on portal duty when Antauri stopped when he heard a low thump.

"What's a matter Antauri" Chiro asked

"I don't know, but I'm sensing something wrong back at the robot" He said

Chiro nodded and contact the others "Monkey Team, head back to the Robot immediately" he said.

The team gather back at the Robot a few minutes later and went inside. The first thing they noticed right away was the smell of smoke. They raced to the command Center and looked around but found it undamaged.

"Funny, I smell smoke but I can't see any" Chiro said

"It's coming over there" Nova pointed to one of the hallways.

Thick, black smoke was now pouring out from the hallway and into the command center.

"Hey, isn't that where Gibson's Lab again" Otto asked.

Gibson went pale and gritted his teeth as he ran down the hallway with the others following him. (Please be in one piece, please be in one piece) he said to himself over and over again.

He turned the corner and into the room that had his lab in it and stopped dead in his tracks. His whole lab was damage, destroyed, caput, gone. There was nothing left but black dust, twisted metal, a couple of things burning here and there and right in the middle of all this sat the dizzy little dragon, covered in black smoke. In her little hands was one tube she saved from being destroy that was filled with the purple goo. Mandarin was no where insight.

(Stupid foul monkey, running off thanks to some hidden door) Isis thought then looked up to see Gibson, staring at her with wide shocked eyes and she could've sworn she saw one of his eyes twitching.

"Gibson" Sprx called out "is everything all right-" his sentence was cut off when he saw the lab. Soon everyone was crowded around the door and stare at the lab til Otto walk push everyone aside and walked over to Isis. "Isis, Isis are you ok"

He picked her up and she didn't have the strength to hold on to the tube so it fell to the floor, smashing into pieces. The sound of the his last thing he had of his lab cause to blue monkey to snap deep inside. "What did you do to my Lab!" He blurted out, not caring if the others were here.

Isis's eyes as Gibson stormed over to her "Haven't I told countless, countless, countless times not to go near my lab and look what happens I leave you alone I come back to THIS!"

"Gibson calm down" Antauri said, but the blue monkey ignored him.

Isis shivered so badly she lost her voice to speak the truth. It was like her dream, Gibson was yelling at her. "Gibson, you don't have to yell I'm sure she didn't mean-"

"Stop protecting her Otto, you would be upset too if she's always destroying your thingsif or never leaves you alone or never lets you have a minute of peace every single day of the week" He shouted and looked over at Isis "Frankly I'm fed up with all this and I'm fed up with you always ruining things for me. I regret the day your stupid owner abandoned you in my care if I knew I have to live with this. You annoying, little...Clingy!"

Tears form in Isis's blue eyes as she stared in the eyes of the monkey she cares most about. Isis struggled out of Otto's hands and ran over to her orb. "Isis, where are you going" Otto said walking over to her. "Gibson didn't mean what he said"

Tears pour down her beat up face as she grabbed her orb and before Otto could reach her she disappeared in thin air. Otto frown and turned to face Gibson with an angry face "Gibson, how could you be so mean?" he asked

Gibson stared at him then over at the team, they were in total shock from him yelling at Isis. He avoids their stares and started picking up some pieces that use to be his lab.


Isis appeared outside the robot, crying from Gibson's harsh words that made her realize what the foul monkey said to her was true. She started running, to gethar away from the Robot as possible and headed to the outskirts of the city.

It started to rain and she didn't know someone was following her . . .


Coming up next. Chapter Six: Tainted: Alone and crushed, Isis face another battle with Mandarin to prevent herself from becoming his mindless puppet.

I'll update much earlier.
