I DO NOT OWN MONSTER ALLERGY
"Holy spit," Elena said in awe. It never ceases to amaze her to see the Suspended City of Bibbur-Si just hanging over the city of Big Burg. Held up by a series of ropes and bridges, supported by Big Burg's tall buildings. It is without a doubt, truly an engineering marvel. Now there are only three ways to enter the Suspended City. One is to fly there, the other is to climb up the sides of the buildings, the final (and most common method) is to use the Monster Elevators conveniently located at some of Big Burg's most busiest intersections. While either method wouldn't be much of a problem for invisible monsters, it does present some difficulty for a totally visible girl and cat. "Come on girl we are in a hurry," Jeremy instructed as he directed her to get on the elevator.
"You know don't you find it weird that no one has reported seeing flying humans every time one of us uses the elevators. Not even in the tabloids." Elena commented. Even though she's made the trip several times, it still worries her that someone would notice and blow the whole secret about monster to the world.
"That may have been a problem in the old days, but now humans are so fixated on their cell phones that nobody ever bothers to look up anymore." Jeremy laughed. As the elevator lifted Elena off the ground, she could see that no one was paying her any attention because, just as Jeremy said, they had their eyes glued to their phones. Completely unobservant with what was happening right in front of them. Once they reached the Suspended City, Jeremy directed Elena to Mr. Uzka, the architect who designed the city, who was more than happy to work with Elena on reconstructing the sunglasses. While they worked, Jeremy proceeded to the main council hall to inform the other Maximum Tutors of what has transpired.
Meanwhile Zick, Teddy, and Bobby were walking down the streets of Old Mill Village, looking for some sign of Char. Following up on rumors about a new ghost gobbling up monsters left and right lead them to this area of town. "This is hopeless, we've been searching for hours now and we haven't seen a trace of Char." Teddy complained.
"What did you expect to find? Foot prints? Bread crumbs? A sign saying Char is here? The guy's a ghost, or at least half of one. You can't expect a trail leading up to him." Bobby reasoned.
"Still there must be something," Zick groaned in frustration. When suddenly he sense something, and it wasn't just him. Bobby and Teddy sensed it as well.
"What was that?" Bobby wondered.
"Someone is calling for help," Zick recognizing this sensation. Looking around he picked up a round object from the ground.
"What are you saying that marble is asking for help?" Teddy ridiculed.
"It's not a marble, it's an eyeball." Zick corrected him.
"So there's Snyakutze somewhere around here losing body parts. Nothing unusual about that." Teddy commented. Bobby nodded in agreement.
"Yeah except that this one was calling for help," Zick reminded them.
*SIGHT DOM* Normally the power of sight is used to give Tamers and Keepers the ability to see the invisible world; but for more advanced Tamers, it can also be used to give premonitions or see things through the eyes of another monster. Using the eyeball as a focus, Zick started to see what the other eyes of the Snyakutze were seeing. "Alright, I see a dark room, with other monsters. In cocoons." Zick informed his companions.
"That means he got caught by the Dark Phantoms," Bobby figured.
"Great we don't have time for this," Teddy complained. They already have to deal with a ghost witch, they didn't need additional problems with Dark Phantoms as well.
"Wait there's something else," Zick trying to focus in on the monster's surroundings. "It's Char! He's making some kind of deal with the Dark Phantoms!"
"Quick do you know where they are?" Teddy asked.
"Uh," Zick looking around to get his bearings. "There!" he pointed to an abandoned building that closely resembled the one he was seeing through the eye. In order to keep the element of surprise, the three young Tamers put on their teleskates and warped right into the building.
"TAMERS!" the Dark Phantoms cried. "WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?" another said. "Never mind that, I hear that Tamers are a lot tastier than monster." a third commented. Soon all the Dark Phantoms were drooling at the prospect of eating three Tamers.
*ENERGY DOM* All three Tamers started blasting their energy beams at the Phantoms. Luckily they were all level 4 Tamers so now their blue energy can dissolve ghosts. Still the Dark Phantoms won't give up without a fight. They all started flying around the room trying to dodge the Dom energy beams, while shooting their own red webbing at the Tamers hoping to restrain them. The Tamers in turn started using their teleskates to teleport all around the room in order to outflank the ghosts.
"What is going on here?" Char roared as he entered the scene.
"Teddy, Bobby, you free the all the monsters. I'll take on Char." Zick ordered as he put on his glasses.
"Right!" the two boys acknowledged. Teddy immediately started to use his Dom energy to cut the monsters out of their cocoons with Bobby covering him. Zick could feel his Dom energy surging within him thanks to his glasses. Upon building up large ball of energy, Zick shot it straight at Char. Char stood his ground, raising his arms in a defensive position, taking the full force of the blast, which knocked him back to the wall.
"I knew it. I was right. Never before have I felt such power. You really are quite the surprise young Tamer. It would seem that fate has brought us together." Char laughed.
"Yeah, because it's my destiny to kick your ghostly butt!" Zick yelled firing more Dom beams at Char. Char counters by shooting mystical bolt at Zick as well.
"Hey Boss their stealing our food!" one of the Phantoms reported. Char looked over to Teddy and Bobby and saw that they had freed almost half of the monsters.
"Save what you can. This place is lost." Char ordered. The Dark Phantoms manage to hang on to three of the cocooned monsters before Char regurgitated some kind of pink powder on to his hand. "This isn't over Tamers!" Char ranted as he threw the powder creating a pink fog around himself, the remaining Dark Phantoms, and whatever monsters they still had, teleporting them away.
"Hey where'd they go?" Teddy wondered.
"Somewhere far from here," Zick said ominously.
Miles away at an old cemetery, Char and his minions appeared inside the funeral home. "Not quite up to my standards but it will do." Char commented as he explored his new surroundings.
"Hey I know this place, it's where we celebrated my best friend's funeral." one of the Dark Phantoms said.
"It's also where you got your funeral," another joked.
"Enough," Char said calmly silencing them all. "With the Tamers on our tail we need to move up our time table. Any progress on my little errand I sent you on?"
"Oh right, that's what I was going to tell you. We found one of those coffins you wanted. The with one of those symbols you asked for." one of the Phantoms reported.
"Where? And how soon can you get it here?" Char demanded.
"About that," the Dark Phantom hesitantly handed Char a pamphlet showcasing some of the museum's newest acquisitions. One of which was a coffin excavated from some old tomb with the exact same marking on Char's coffin.
"Why haven't you brought it to me?" Char asked rather impatiently.
"But Boss, if we stole it, it could alert the Tamers." the Dark Phantom reasoned.
Char considered this and the Dark Phantom had a good point. While he didn't fear the Tamers, he couldn't risk them ruining his plans like they did all those centuries ago. It would seem that he would have to waste what precious little magic he had, but if his plans succeed then it might be worth it. "Give me one of those monsters," Char ordered.
"But Boss you said that these were ours," the Dark Phantoms argued.
"Don't worry, you'll get your fill and more soon enough," Char promised grabbing one of the monster and ate it whole. He then took out a small packet lunch and ate the carrot sticks and broccoli. Afterwards he took a nearby flower vase, discarding the flowers, and regurgitated a cyan colored liquid in to the vase. "Here take this and spread it over the coffin. It will create a duplicate so that no one will know you've stolen it." Char instructed. A pair of Dark Phantoms took the potion and flew off.
"Hey Boss I think I found another one." a Dark Phantom said excitedly.
"Where?" Char demanded.
"Oh man you're going to laugh at this, it's right here in this very cemetery." the Phantom laughed pointing out the window showing a nearby tomb with the same architectural design as the one Char was in. Decorated with the markings on his coffin.
"To find two of my brothers in less than a day. It would seem that fate truly is on my side." Char laughed.
Back at the abandoned building. The young Tamers were just finishing up freeing the other monsters. "Oh thank you. Thank you." The only Snyakutze thanked.
"It's out pleasure. In fact we never would have been able to find you without your help." Zick said handing the monster his missing eye.
"My favorite eye! Oh thank goodness. I thought those Dark Phantoms ate it." the Snyakutze cheered putting the eye back in its place.
"I think it's best if you monsters quickly get out of here," Zick advised.
"Yeah who knows when those Dark Phantoms will come back," Teddy warned. Heeding his advice, the monsters all scattered as fast as they could.
"So now what? We're back to square one." Bobby groaned.
"It's getting late. I think we should go home and start fresh in the tomorrow." Teddy suggested after checking his watch. The other two nodded in agreement, but as they were about to leave, two monsters came running at them as fast as they could. One was a large orange monster with a big mouth, the second was a baby version still in diapers.
"Zick, Bombo is so glad to have found you," Bombo huffed.
"Bombo what are you doing here? This place is infested with Dark Phantoms." Zick scolded.
"That not important, Bombo have terrible news. Something horrible happened!" Bombo said in a state of panic.
"What is it Bombo? Did Timothy put you on a diet again?" Zick joked.
"Yes, but that not it. Much worse!" Bombo shaking his head. At this point Zick gave Bombo his full attention. Whatever the news is, it must be serious if Bombo says it's worst than him going on a diet. "Bombo was up at the Suspended City with Bombolo when Bombo saw it. The Tutors arresting Elena!" Bombo cried. The baby Bombolo crying as well.
"What? Why?" Zick asked.
"Don't know, something about her causing the biggest trouble in history of Bibbur-Si." Bombo summarized.
"Oh no, what has she done now?" Zick groaned, activating his teleskates so he could warp to Bibbur-Si. Unfortunately he drained the power of the skates during the battle so now they won't work. The same with Teddy and Bobby's skates. Since they can't teleport, the three of them ran as fast as they could to the Suspended City. With Bombo and Bombolo following right behind them.
