Author's Note: Just a few chapters to go. I do not own "Blurry" by Puddle of Mud

Chapter Ten

Reaching You

A sense of anger and hurt flooded the possessed dragon as she stared at the blue monkey and her dying owner. Bechill was still out cold and Gibson was too afraid to move as he stared into the bright purple eyes.

"Isis?" Gibson said.

Isis grinned, showing her sharp teeth that were stained with Mandarin's black oil.

"What happened to you" Gibson said, slowly getting onto his feet without taking his eyes off of the dragon.

"The orange weakling was starting to annoy me so I tore him into shreds" Isis said, in a demon sort of voice instead of her sweet, high pitch, happy voice. "But I wasn't the only one"

"What do you mean?"

"Skeleton is still alive" Isis said, her voice filled the giant room. "You didn't killed the worm like you thought you did. As a last resort, he brought back Mandarin to finish all of you off"

(So he was reborn just like Antauri) Gibson thought.

"Of course, even he can't do a single little job" Isis said, "the thirst of power overthrow him and I told him what will happen if he didn't stop and he smacks me right across the face. And that's when I snapped, he hit me so many times that I couldn't' take it anymore. Then this strange voice appeared in my head, an evil voice that told me he was the one who created him and with his help he will help me destroy him."

She took a few steps forward as Gibson kneels down to the knock out ten-year-old and started shaking her. "Bechill, Bechill, please, wake up" he said.

"I think you might have known him after all if was your team's fault for his death." Isis said, grinning. "But Skeleton King can never be killed, he can never be killed, he lives on in this tainted power I have"

"Bechill!" Gibson shakes her even harder.

Bechill opened her eyes and looked up at Gibson then noticed she was on the floor. "What's going on" she asked.

"We're in the main room of the castle," Gibson said, "and . . . and . . . Isis"

He couldn't finish as his eyes went away from the girl and over to the dragon again. Bechill picked herself and looked up only to suck all her air in when she saw a ten-foot dragon staring at her with great bitterness.

"I-I-Isis" She said, trembling.

"Isis, listen to me, you need to give Bechill her orb back or she'll die" Gibson said, holding Bechill up in case she fainted again.

Isis just stood there and Gibson thought she didn't hear him. "Did you hear me, she needs her orb or she'll die"

The dragon started to laugh, "you have some nerves, monkey, to ask me that" she said.

"What do you mean?"

"Did you honestly think I would help her after all she did to me" Isis asked. "After all the pain, loneliness and betrayal she caused"

"Please, Isis, I can't go on much longer" Bechill asked.

"NEVER and if you die, it's your fault because you couldn't be honest with me. Because you were the one who abandoned me into the hands of a heartless monkey" Isis growled causing the orbs to glow an angry color.

"Isis, you know that's not true, you love your owner very much, you never stop thinking about her and always wished she would return one day for you" Gibson shouted.

A sense of realization brought sadness in Isis's eyes.

(Don't listen to them, Isis) A familiar voice was heard throughout the room.

"Skeleton King" Gibson whispered.

(Don't listen to them. They hated you and wanted you gone so why show any mercy toward them)

"Please, Isis, Bechill only got rid of you because she knew about the prophecy and she knew your King and Queen wanted you dead. That's why she did it to save your life"

(See she admitted that she abandoned you like trash)

"Why didn't you tell me" Isis asked "why did you keep it a secret from me"

"I didn't want you to feel guilty about what you were going to become" Bechill said.

(She is nothing but secrets and lies. She knew what you were going to become and didn't want you anymore. She hates you)

"I do not hate you" Bechill shouted.

(Yes, she does, she lies to you, abandoned you, she hates you, why do you think she never contact you)

"I love you, Isis" Bechill said, "I didn't want you to get kill, you were my best friend"

Isis growled and roared, "LIAR, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. YOU HATED ME THAT'S WHY YOU LEFT ME. YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME"

Everything's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's so empty
And everything is so messed up

Pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

"I do care about you, please, please" Bechill begged, as she slowly slump against Gibson's shoulder. "I need my orb"

"See, you're just saying all those lies so I would give you your orb. BUT THERE'S NO WAY I'LL EVER GIVE YOU THAT KIND OF MERCY"

She released her claws and swung them down to strike the ten-year-old but Gibson grabbed hold of Bechill and flew to the other side of the room before the blow was struck.

She sharply turned to her left, literally hearing her bones cracking, to see Gibson placing Bechill against the wall and turned around to face Isis.

"Isis, stop this, this isn't like you" Gibson said.

Isis sucked in all her breath, "You" she said, coldly.

The thousands of orbs started to glow a dark angry color as Isis started powering up. "You, you are much worse then that little lair and the weakling combine" She hissed.

(Kill him, show him how much pain he caused you)

"Isis" Gibson said.

"I don't want to hear your lies either, monkey, I just want to get rid of you" She roared and before Gibson could react, he was swatted with Isis's mighty tail and flew clear across the room.

He slammed into the wall and slid to the bottom. His jet pack crack a little from the hard thrown as he tried to pick himself up.

"Why didn't you like me" Isis asked, "What did I do for you to hate me"

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what your doing
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far

"Isis, listen to me, Skeleton King is controlling you because you would never hurt other people unless it was Sprx" Gibson said.

(Lies, I'm just helping you Isis to get back at those who hated you)

"I did everything for you make sure you were happy" Isis said, "I did everything you told me so why did you cause me so much pain"

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it my face

"Why would I cause pain when what I said was true" Gibson said, but quickly regret saying that knowing that wasn't going to help him with this situation.

Isis growled and opened her mouth wide to gather up the power for her fire attack. She blew a huge ball of fire at the blue monkey but he flew up into the air with his jet pack. He didn't fly enough to escape when Isis smacks him with her claws sending him to the ground.

(That's it, show him how much he hurt you)

Gibson crawled out of the shallow hole and activated his drills and pointed one at Isis, "listen to me, Isis, you're being controlled, you need to fight it instead of me" Gibson said.

"What did I do for you to hate me!" Isis shouted, "TELL ME"

The orbs started to glow and sent huge bolts of power to the ground. Gibson tried to dodge them all but some of them struck. He cried out in pain as some of his fur started to turn black from the burns. He was hit again with Isis's claws sending to the wall again.

"Isis, please, stop this" Gibson said, in a very weak voice.

Isis back away from him and her eyes started to tear up, "why, I'm just showing you the exact pain you cause me. Did you know that when my owner abandoned, I didn't feel that alone because of you. The minute I saw you something told me that you would be the one who would take care of me and love me like my owner did. I thought you care about me but all you did was ignore me and called me names "

Everyone is changing
There's noone left that's real
To make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

"Isis" Gibson called out.

"You yelled at me for something I didn't do then you said you regret ever meeting me," Isis said, as her pain and anger increase. "I thought you were different but you were just like the rest of the monkey team and the people on this planet.

(THEY ALL HATED YOU)

"So I don't care if you begged for your life" She said, grabbing his little body with her claws.

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I will save you
From all of the uncleanI wonder what your doing
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far

Isis screamed and dropped Gibson to the floor. When she picked him up, he stabbed her with one of his drills. With blood leaking out of her claw, Isis roared and used the powers of the orbs to attack the blue monkey.

"Isis, you have to fight it, don't let Skeleton King control you" Gibson called out.

"Shut up!" Isis shouted, and stuck his back with her claws.

Blood from her stabbed claw smeared all over Gibson's back as three deep cuts started to form. He let out a scream and fell to the floor. He jet pack was torn off and was abandon in three pieces on his right. He didn't have time to get up when he was pinned painfully to the ground by Isis's claw.

"It's time to finish you off" Isis said.

Gibson's arm bent backward and shot a laser from his drill eye into Isis's eye. Isis screamed in pain and with all her strength she swatted Gibson causing him to crash into the wall again. Leaving deep cracks in the wall, Gibson fell to the floor and didn't move.

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it my face

Isis stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed Gibson wasn't moving.

(Haha, foolish monkey)

Gibson cracked open one of his eyes and knew what he had to do. He picked himself up and leaned against the wall. He looked over at Bechill and was glad to see no harm came to her . . . yet. His heart skipped a beat when he heard the ground shaking from Isis walking over to him. He was quickly picked up and slammed into the wall.

(Any last words before she kills you)

Gibson started into Isis's anger yet very hurt eyes. He coughed a little bit, tasting blood in his mouth and said, "I'm sorry"

The grip tightens and Gibson couldn't breathe as he felt his body being crushed.

"WHAT!" Isis shouted.

"I said I was sorry" Gibson said.

"I will not fall of an empty sorry" Isis said, throwing him a few meters in the back of her.

Gibson skidded on the ground before coming to a complete stop. He felt his body was about to shut down from all the abuse it took but he had to tell what was on his mind. He got up only to fall to his knees and stared at the dragon.

"It's not an empty apology, Isis, I'm truly sorry from the bottle of my heart" Gibson said as Isis started to advance over to him. "You were right, all you ever did was to make sure I was happy and all you ever wanted was to spent time with me and you always listen to me and all I did was ignore you and toss you aside like an old experiment."

Isis slow down from Gibson's words. (Don't listen to him)

"Yes, you were a little clingy and annoying but I should be use to that since I'm live with Otto and Sprx for crying out loud but that was all I was looking at, all the bad stuff about you instead of the good."

(FINISH HIM, SHOW HIM HOW MUCH PAIN HE CAUSE YOU)

"Shut up, it's all lies!" Isis shouted and grabbed hold of Gibson.

"I have to admit I love how you always stay awake during one of my scientific speeches, or when you sleep on my head during nap time, and I even like it how you chase Antauri around thinking he was a chocolate bar when you were on your sugar rush. Or when you do pranks on Sprx or burn him to a crisp, I actually could never stop laughing at that."

Isis tightens her grip.

"Please forgive me, I wasn't thinking, I forgot that you were left by your owner and all I did was shoo you off when all you wanted was a friend and someone to care about you. I should've been there for you and guide you through the sad times and tell you that everything is going to be alright. Deep down I really did care about you and love you like the way I love my siblings and Chiro."

Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you where to runaway
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you where to runaway

Isis loosens her grip, "Did you just said you love me"

Gibson nodded, "yes, I'm sorry, Isis, please forgive me"

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
When ya shoved it my face

Tears began to roll down Isis's cheeks as she lower Gibson to the ground and took a few steps back. Gibson collapsed to the ground from his injuries but didn't take his eyes off of Isis. More tears fell down her cheeks as the purple evil aura started to exit her body in a smoke like form.

(What are you doing, Isis, finish him)

She ignored Skeleton King and stared at Gibson, "That's all I ever wanted to hear from you" she said, as she started shirking down to her normal size of one foot. Her little orb she held with her tail was release as she curled up into a little ball and started to cry.

"Oh my word, what have I done" she said, sobbing from shame. "What have I done"

"Isis, Isis" Gibson called out to her as he crawled over to her. "It's ok, don't cry, it wasn't your fault, please stop crying"

But she couldn't stop crying and she cried even harder when she felt Gibson's arms wrapping themselves around her for comfort. "It's ok, I'm here, I'm not going to leave you." He said.

This pain you gave to me

You take it all
You take it all away...
This pain you gave to me
You take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away

"Aww, isn't this just lovely"

Gibson turned to his left to see Mandarin hanging onto one of the floating orbs. "It just makes me sick and ashamed that I have to kill you both"

The orbs started to glow and release a huge blast of power toward the blue monkey and dragon. Gibson's eyes widened and the first instinct that came to thought was to protect the child. He wrapped Isis with himself and took the blast full force. He didn't have time to cry and scream as he smashed right through the wall and black out . . .
