Chapter Eleven

Breakable

Isis woke up only to find herself floating in a white empty space. "Where am I" she asked herself.

She saw a white cloud floating near by with a young woman on it. She turned around and smiles at the little dragon with great gentleness.

"Who are you" Isis asked.

"I'm you" The woman said.

Isis raised an eyebrow, "How can you be me when I'm a dragon and you're a human"

"It's call reincarnation" She said

"Reincarn-what" Isis asked.

"Reincarnation" She said, "it's when a free soul is reborn again in a different body"

"Oh, kind of what my friend Antauri is" she said and the woman nodded.

"Yes, long time ago when our planet was young, a demon took control of the planet and turned everyone into slaves. The summers were harsh and the winters were bitter but one day I led an army to fight the demon and won our freedom. To our people I was a hero and known as the Legendary Warrior Isis. And like you, I was the master of the Wish-maker orb as well as three other powerful orbs: Life, Future and Elements"

"So you were the first one to be cursed with the wish-maker orb," Isis asked.

She nodded, "I never thought it would be a curse til one day I saw in the orb of future the grim prophecy that will take place in my time. I didn't want it to happen to I took my own life and I thought I prevented the prophecy from happening till you were born with my soul. That's why the Wish-maker orb chose you as its master. It just shows you can't stop the prophecy from happening only delay it for a bit." She said, frowning.

"That's awful" Isis said, "but not as awful as the stuff I did to my planet as well as many others. I just wish it didn't have to end this way"

"It doesn't have to be" The Warrior said.

"It doesn't" she asked.

"No" she said, kneeling down in front of her and hold up the wish-making orb. "This "curse" as you call will also be your savior if you know how to use it"

"What should I do" She asked.

"The only way everything will turn back to normal is for this orb to break" She said.

"Break" Isis asked, "but it can't break, it's unbreakable"

"Did you forget someone can wish it to be breakable"

"No, but I don't want it to break. My powers will leave me in a very painful way til I'm dead"

The Warrior chuckled which Isis found to be very offending, "what's so funny"

"Isis, you're forgetting one thing" she said.

"And what is that"

"You're not like everyone else on our planet. You weren't born with the power. The power of the orb was given to you. In other words, you'll lose your power but you can't die"

"I'll lose my powers but my orb gave me my intelligence and my ability to speak, my element powers and human -like traits. If I lose that then I'll be-'

"Just a normal dragon, but Isis would you make that sacrifice to say the ones you love"

Before Isis could answer her, Isis woke up and found herself in a pile of rubble that was two rooms away from where the main room was. She was badly scratched up and bruised and the blood from her stabbed wound on her hand smeared all over her upper body. She spotted her orb glowing beneath the rubble but what brought horror in her eyes was when she spotted Gibson a few feet in front of her . . . not moving.

She pulled herself out of the rubble and rushed over to him. "Gibson, Gibson, please, wake up, please.

A tear rolled down her cheek and fell on Gibson's face. His eyes started to flicker as his system started to reboot itself. He started at Isis and smile a little bit. "Hey, Isis" he said in a weak, scratchy voice, "are you ok"

She nodded, "I'm fine" she said.

Gibson sat up and rubbed the dent in his head only to be hugged by Isis, "I'm so sorry Gibson, I couldn't stop myself. Part of me didn't want to hurt you, I'm so sorry I cause you so much pain and suffering" she said, crying in his chest.

Gibson patted her head, "it's ok, Isis"

"How can you say it's ok, how can you ever forgive me after all I did" she asked.

He wipes her tears away, "do you know why because the same thing happened to me a while back"

"It did" Isis asked.

"Yes, a while back I was possessed by a computer virus thanks to a very disgusting, very annoying, blue little Thingy. I transformed into a hideous monster and trapped my teammates in their tubes and force them to help me destroy my city. But thanks to the little Thingy, I was able to return to normal and had to listen as my teammates told me about what I have done. I've never forgiven myself for it but my teammates did and that is what I'm doing to you."

"Just a normal dragon, but Isis would you make that sacrifice to say the ones you love"

Isis turned around and grabbed her orb out of the rubble and stared at the orb. Her ball and chain yet the only thing that was giving her all her abilities.

"What's wrong, Isis" Gibson asked.

She made up her mind, she'll give up her powers in order to save Gibson's life and bring everything back to normal. She turned around and looked at Gibson, "Gibson, wish for all the orbs on this planet to be breakable"

-------------------------

Pieces of metal floated into the air and flew over to Mandarin and quickly repaired himself so he can be able to function again. Once his body was fully repair thanks for the orb of Life, he spotted the small girl at the corner of the room and used the orb of telekinesis to pull her over to him. He dropped her next to him without even caring about her weak condition.

"Where's my other brother, Otto" He demanded.

Bechill looked at him and shook her head, "I don't know, he and my friend were separated from Gibson and me"

Mandarin closed his eyes and found them outside of the castle trying to fight off the village's people. "That's no way to kill someone" he said, and made them disappear using the orb's powers.

They appeared right beside Bechill and slammed to the floor with a thump. "What happened" Telen groan.

"Where's Gibson and Isis" Otto asked Mandarin.

"They're dead just like you're going to be" he said, smiling.

----------------------------------

"You want me to do what" Gibson asked.

"Wish for all the orbs to be breakable" Isis said.

"Don't you remember what happened the last time I made that wish" He said.

"I know but it's the only way we can defeat Mandarin" She said.

"It is"

"Yes, all the orbs are connected to him so if one hits another one they will all break and he'll have a power malfunction and will be destroyed."

"And so will you and the other people" he said.

"No, they won't, he has all the orbs so no harm will come to the people and I won't die, I'll just lose my powers"

"Isis, I don't know"

"You have to trust me, please" She begged.

He sighed, "I wish all the orbs are breakable"

The wish was granted and Isis smiled, "Now here's my plan"

------------------------

"Now how am I going to kill you, ooh, there are so many ways" Mandarin said, grinning.

Otto, Telen and Bechill were pressed up against the wall with the help of the Orb of Magnetism.

"So this is how it's going to end" Telen said, "killed by an insane monkey"

"Hey" Otto said.

"I wasn't talking about you" He said.

Bechill said nothing.

"First of all, I'll killed my good for nothing brother before getting rid of the little children" Mandarin said, smiling evilly at Otto. He activated his blue sword and pointed at Otto's chest. "Any last words before I stab you"

"Yes," Otto gulped, "please, don't stab me"

Mandarin rolled his eyes and was about to strike when he heard a voice from behind him. "MANDARIN!"

The orange monkey turned around and was stunned to see Isis standing there with her orb in her hand. "H-h-how did you survive!" he shouted.

"Um...luck" she said.

Mandarin growled and walked over to her, "well, your luck had just run out"

"Wait, wait, I don't want to start a fight" she said.

Mandarin stopped and let her continue, "I just want to give you this" she said, holding up her orb to him. "It's yours, take it"

He laughed, "Please, you just told that I can't grant my own wishes and that I needed you to control all these orbs. Why the sudden change"

"Simple" Isis said, "I lied. I would say anything to make you mad but I didn't expect to be over possessed by your former Master who order me to kill you because you were taking too long to kill the Hyper Force" she lied again.

It didn't look like Mandarin was buying it, "just think Mandarin, all the magic powers of the universe in one small little orb. It could be yours"

"I could be mine?"

"It could be yours" Otto and Telen said.

"Shut up!" He yelled at them.

"Well, it could" Otto said, playing along with Isis's plan.

Mandarin couldn't resist, "Fine, I wish your orb belongs to me and only me"

Isis smiled as her blue color faded in an ugly gray color when her orb and power floated over to Mandarin's hands. He snickered, "At last, the great power is all mine."

"And Mandarin one more thing" Isis said.

"What" He asked.

She stared at him for a second, "Bye"

A blue laser flew out of the hole she came out of and struck a few of the orbs that were floating in the air. There was a huge explosion and dozen of orbs shattered in to tiny sparkling shades.

"What the!" Mandarin shouted.

Gibson crawled out of the hole and lean against the edge of the wall with his drill out. "You fell of it"

Before Mandarin could say a word he heard something cracking in his hand. He looked down to see small cracks appearing on the Wish-making Orb then noticed all the orbs were cracking.

"I told you it was bad to control every single orb on the planet," Isis said.

"I wish you would stop this" He demanded.

"I can't do that, you control the orb now not me and like I said before it takes many years to master the ability to grant your own wishes."

The orbs started to shatter all over the room and Mandarin felt something erupting in his body. His eyes glowed a dark purple and he hit Isis in the face. "YOU TRICKED ME," He said, activating his sword and was about to slice her into pieces til he was hit by Gibson's laser. He let go of the Wish-maker orb and it smashed into pieces when it hit the floor. A small shard fell next to Isis as she tried to get up from the hit. Gibson rushed over to her as fast as his injured body can and picked her up along with the shard.

More orbs started to shatter.

Otto, Telen and Bechill were released from the wall and fell to the floor. Telen grabbed hold of Bechill and helped her up from the floor. Otto ran over to Gibson, "what's going on" he asked.

The room started to shake and Mandarin started screaming from the pain he felt in his body. More and more of the orbs started to break causing the tainted purple aura to leave the orange monkey.

"He's malfunctioning" Gibson said, "We need to get out of here before this whole place explodes"

Telen rushed over to the monkeys while holding one to Bechill, "Quick, grabbed hold of my jacket and I'll teleport us out of here"

They grabbed on to his jacket and Gibson held Isis close to him and they disappeared in thin air.

Mandarin growled and his body was engulfed of the tainted aura and started to glow a blindly purple light. "CURSE YOU ALL" he shouted.

------------------------------

The group appeared on top of a small hill that was a few miles away from the castle only to duck and covered their eyes when the castle blew up in a earth shaking explosion. Then all went quiet.

Gibson opened his eyes and while holding Isis in his arms, got up and turned around to see what was left of the castle. He was stunned to see nothing left but a black spot with smoke floating into the air.

"Is it over" Otto asked.

"I think so" Gibson said.

Telen turned around and help Bechill up so she could see what was left of their planet. "Are we the only ones left" she asked.

Telen was about to answer when a bright ball of light started to form at the center of the black spot and started to spread all over the lands.

"What's going on" Otto asked.

They were blighted by the bright light as it spread through them. They opened their eyes and Bechill gasped. "Oh my goodness"

"Wow" Telen said.

The land was back to normal with the Village and castle fully repaired as if nothing had happened to it. The blue color plants, trees and grass started to grow again and the people were suddenly appearing in the Village.

Millions of tiny shards started floating out of the castle and forming back into orbs and floated back in to the hands of their rightful owner. A bright blue orb floated over to the four and landed into Bechill's hands. It started to glow causing the little girl's dull gray color to turn back into her bright blue shades. She smiles and sat up to test her new found energy and looked over at Gibson.

"You saved them" Bechill said.

"I didn't" Gibson said, "it was Isis"

They looked down at her and noticed Isis didn't say anything. "Isis, what's wrong, why aren't you saying anything" Bechill asked, taking her out of Gibson's arms.

Isis just made a small playful growl and just cuddle in her owner's arms.

"You said when Isis had her orb it gave her the ability to talk, have human traits, intelligence and her powers"

"Yeah"

"Well, she sacrificed her powers to save the planet as well as our" Gibson said, "she'll never be the same again"

"But why didn't it form back together like the rest" Bechill asked.

"I guess the Wish-maker orb was never meant to be use in the first place" Gibson said.

Bechil didn't want to cry but she held Isis tighter, "I'm so sorry, Isis" she said.

"Well, we better go to the village and explain what happened" Telen said.

----------------------

"We are forever thankful for saving our planet" The King said. The whole village was gathered around a small ship to say their good-byes to the two robot monkeys.

Gibson, who was wrapped up from head to toe in bandaged and covered with a few bruises and scratches smiled as the Queen handed Otto a small bag.

"What are these" Otto asked.

"Power orbs" The Queen said, "It will increase your weapon powers tremendously when you hold it"

"Cool, I can't wait to try it out" Otto said.

"I just wish there was more we can do for you two" She said.

"It's ok, we were glad to help" Gibson said, then flinch in pain. "Ow"

The King and Queen back away and let Bechill walk past them to say good-bye. She held Isis in one arm and use the other one to hug both Gibson and Otto.

"Thank you so much . . . for everything" She said.

"Is Isis staying here now" Otto asked.

"Well, the prophecy is over so she's allowed to stay here on her home planet" Bechill said.

Gibson frowned and stared at Isis who was staring back with her big curious eyes. "So this is the last time I'll see her" he asked, and Bechill nodded.

She handed Isis over to Gibson and he gave her a tiny hug, "well, Isis, I wish things were different when you were living with us. You probably don't even understand me but I just want you to know that I'll never forget you and I want you to take care of yourself and well . . . I hope I'll see you again one day" he tightens his hug and gave her back to Bechill. Otto patted Isis head, "I'll save you a cookie whenever you come and visit" he said.

"Oh, I forgot to give you this" Gibson handed Isis a small shard.

"What is it" Bechill asked.

"A piece of Isis's orb I found before the castle exploded. I think she should hold on to it" Gibson said.

Bechill smiled, "Thanks, Gibson"

Isis looked at Gibson and snapped the shard into two one inch pieces and handed one to Gibson. "I think she wants you to keep a little piece as well"

She placed the piece in Gibson's metal hand and he stared at it for a second before closing it to a fist. "Thanks"

---------------------

Otto started up the ship as Gibson and he waved good-bye to the Isis, Bechill and the whole village. "Let's go home, Otto" Gibson said, collapsing on one of the seat from his injuries.

"Okie dokie" Otto said, "we should be at Suggazoom in half a day in hyper boost mode with the help of these power orbs" He said smiling.

Gibson continues to stare at the small thin shard in his hand as they exit the planet's atmosphere and went home . . .
