FrankandJoe3: ...okaaay, *smiles nervously* and breath...X-D, thanks anyway lol
Alapso: I know, teens are just so unpredictable. Yeah, Maurice is just a dude, I loke people with afros, I have an obsession!
KNDnumbvuh007: Haha, just thought that that's the kind of thing that Wally would do. Awesome! Woo, now we're youtube buddies! How did you find my account? Lol
KNDFANGIRL: I love any type of ¾ fluff, I just have to add it in. And I adore fics with major fluff
"Right, I overheard that you went to read something...what did it say about the crystal?" Chad asked.
Wally shrugged. "It just said that the heart of rainbowtopia lies in the eyes of their king."
"Maybe it's time we made a royal visit then." Chad grinned evilly.
They stormed into the King's cave, the king was alone on his throne. Chad walked up to the king.
"Right King Louie! Where's the crystal chamber?"
The gorilla made vicious growling noises. Chad looked over to Kuki.
"What'd he say?"
Kuki replied reluctantly. "he said that you'll destroy yourselves if you find it."
"Maybe I'm not being quite clear!" Chad said, booting the gorilla right in the stomach. The gorilla yelped in pain and fell to the floor.
"No!" Kuki screamed.
"This wasn't part of the plan Chad!" Maurice spat, rushing to the gorilla and checking it's wound.
"Plans change buddy." Chad shrugged. "Toughen up a little, you're too soft. Now I'll count to ten and I want little kingy to do as he's asked...one...two."
Kuki sobbed as she tried to break free from Nathan's grip as Chad pulled out a real gun from his boot.
"...Nine...Te...!" He looked at the book, then at the pond in front of him, the stones formed the same shape.
"The heart of rainbowtopia lies in the eyes of the king!" He recited. "that's it!"
Wally followed Chad as he walked into the pond, Cree grabbed Kuki's arm and pulled her along.
"Chad! You don't know what this crystal can do!" Wally warned.
Cree shrugged. "Yeah, but I know a few places that would pay anything to find out."
Chad stood on what he thought was a rock, it began to de-levitate (is that even a word? Well it is now.)
"Get on!" He ordered as he dragged Wally onto it, Cree jumped on, pulling Kuki with her.
"Jackpot!" Chad said as they came to a halt, it was a large cave (I like caves X-P)
there was nothing in it, other than a large glowing crystal floating near the ceiling, it shone the seven colours of the rainbow and reflected in the water. Around it, orbited five carved stones of different rainbow monkeys.
"Okay Beatles, get it down!" Chad commanded.
Wally scoffed. "And how the crud am I supposed to do that? It's floating over 100 feet over our heads and is surrounded by water...what am I supposed to do?"
Chad sighed and looked around.
Kuki stared at the crystal and soon became mesmerised. It drew her forward, she walked towards it, her eyes now fully dilated and changing colour from red, to orange, to yellow...
Wally and Chad argued, they silences as Kuki walked past them. Wally tried to grab her arm but Chad, intrigued by her strange behaviour held him back, observing Kuki, who was now walking on water towards the crystal.
"Beatles, what's happening?" Chad asked.
Wally yelled. "I'm telling you I don't know! I'm doing the best I can here to understand!"
"Well do better!" Chad commanded.
Then Kuki turned to face them and began to speak, her face was blank and expressionless, it wasn't her normal voice, it was more of a mystical, eerie voice of a woman. She also spoke in another language other than English. Wally recognised it, it was aboriginal.
Do not be afraid Wallabee Beatles, all will be well.
"What did she say?" Chad asked.
"I...I don't know." Wally lied.
Kuki then turned around again and then walked under the crystal.
A multicoloured light shone down and Kuki levatated up. When she was inside the crystal, the carved stones that were orbiting it began to increase in speed until they were going so fast it was impossible to see the crystal.
When they slowed down, Kuki's body then slowly came back down, it was glowing different colours. When she reached the water the body was still.
Wally began to walk forward to get her but was pulled back by Chad.
"Hold your horses lover boy!" Chad said, Wally glared at him, then looked back at Kuki.
"Numbuh 3?" Wally said.
Her eyes suddenly opened and she stared right at them, her eyes were pure blue, she had no pupil or iris, it was simply glowing a crystal blue. She began to walk forward, as she did so the stones fell from their levitation. Making Wally, Chad and Cree jump.
She came to the land in front of them but continued walking instead of standing next to them, Wally was about to take her arm but Cree stopped him.
"Don't, don't touch her!"
The three of them stared at her, her whole body was now multicoloured and she had no idea of her surroundings or actions.
"We'd better get her back." Chad said in astonishment.
They returned up the way they came in, careful not to touch Kuki in the process.
When they reached the top, everyone gasped at Kuki, the next thing that Wally knew, they had put her in a container and were now sealing it shut.
"What are you doing?" He asked running forward, trying to stop them. Abby, Nigel and Hoagie stood back helplessly, not knowing what to do.
"We're leaving, taking her back to the museum." Nathan told him.
Wally gasped and looked at Kuki, she seemed to freeze the contained, forming a giant block of varicoloured ice around her, filling the encolosure she'd been put in.
"You can't do that! She's a human being!" Wally shouted.
They all ignored him as they got ready to leave, setting up Hoagie's M.I.N.I.B.U.S.
"Please don't do this!" Wally tried to reason. "She's my best friend!...but what do you guys care, you'll be rich!"
He saw some of the teens hesitate as they got ready to leave.
"Great work Jody, you and your dad can open up that second garage you wanted...and Larry, you can start a whole chain of flower shops, you're granny will be real proud! That's what this is all about right? Money!" Wally spat.
"Let's go!" Nathan called, unphased by Wally's speech. He turned to see that Chad and Cree were still stood behind Wally. "Well?"
"This is wrong even past our belief!" Cree stated. "I'm not taking my sisters best friend to a museum!"
Chad nodded in agreement. "That's just inhumane! Giving up a teammate for money!"
"Fine, stay here!" Nathan shrugged. "I'm surprised at both of you...anyway, what have I forgotten? Crew, transport, crystal...Oh yeah I remember!"
He spun around, thumping Wally so hard in the face that he fell over. Everyone gasped.
Wally glared up at him and held onto his bloody lip. Abby, Hoagie and Nigel ran to his side.
"That was for being such a shrimp! You say you hate rainbow monkeys yet if you didn't care about them at all, your little girlfriend would never be crystallised!...Let's move people!"
He walked over to the M.I.N.I.B.U.S and jumped in, he then stared out of the window at Jody and Larry who were stood gazing at Wally with guilt.
"I said let's move it!" He ordered.
Jody looked over to him then sighed, storming over to Wally's side and helping him up.
Larry followed, standing behind Wally and placing his hands on Wally's shoulders.
Cree and Chad stood closer to the group, showing their defiance.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Nathan scoffed, looking back at his four teammates.
"This is wrong and you know it!" Jody shouted.
Nathan scoffed as he jumped out of the bus. "We're going toward our biggest pay day ever and you choose that now is the best time to find a conscience? You guys are pathetic!"
He stormed back to the M.I.N.I.B.U.S where Lauren was still sat.
They sped off.
Wally began to run after them. "We can't let them do this!" He yelled.
"Wait a minute!" Larry yelled as he grabbed his arm, holding him back.
Next, a loud explosion was heard as the bridge blew up.
"Okay, now you can go." Larry replied.
Wally sobbed as he looked up to see that the bridge had been blown up, there was nothing yet.
"We can't let them get away!" He sobbed. "They've got Numbuh 3!"
"Hey Numbuh 4! You'd better come see this!" Maurice called, who had remained tending to the old rainbow monkey monarch throughout.
Wally went in to see the gorilla lying on the floor in pain.
"There's nothing more I can do, it's internal bleeding." Maurice told him.
Wally sat down next to the gorilla and petted it gently.
"This is all my fault." He whispered.
Maurice shook his head. "Don't beat yourself up. Nathan's never been much of a team player, he wanted that crystal ever since Plum told him about it."
"Plum never told me about it?" Wally said, looking up.
Maurice shrugged. "That's because he thought that you'd find it yourself, which you did. You're a lot smarter than everyone gives you credit for...I'm sure you'll think of something."
