Dawn of a New Era
Chapter11: The Fight That Might End it All
Jasmine's Point of View:
Our vacation didn't end as badly as I thought it would have from a few months ago. After Mandarin and Mandy flew off, Gabriella fixed my foot to the point where I didn't have to be in bed all day, but I did have to wear a cast and use crutches. I still like that better then being forced to be in bed all day. I was able to be with the others for the rest of our vacation, which did continue after they searched the area where those two deranged monkeys came from.
It's been a month since then, and my foot is fully healed. I'm back to my old schedule of making the team breakfast every morning and taking classes with the team, becoming stronger in every way that they taught me.
There is one problem though, Gabriella has been a little more on edge lately, and I think I might know why. Ever since that day during our vacation when Mandy was there, Gabriella went ballistic. She was jealous that Mandy was trying to make a claim on Rover when all she felt for him was lust, where I know that Rover and Gabriella love each other, but they're just too stubborn to admit it. She's been extremely angry whenever Rover is around any of us. And I know that it's the fact that Rover isn't her's and she can't admit her feelings to him. I think that it's starting to get too out of hand. I'm going to have to talk about it to her.
After I had gotten dressed, I headed down to the kitchen and started up breakfast. I made up some pancakes and the normal sausage for everyone that wanted it, mostly Midnight, seeing as it's all she likes to eat. She never eats the cat food we buy for her; all she eats is the meat, which isn't really a bad thing. I also set out the syrup and drinks for everyone, but I gathered a couple plates and drinks for Gabriella and I. I headed down to her lab, which was where she was all the time now. She slept in front of her chemicals and stayed in her lab most of the day. She only came out to eat, and even that was rare, she only ate twice a day now. I needed to talk to her, now.
I knocked on her lab door and got no response at first, I knocked again and the door gently opened and I saw Gabriella and Rover in her lab. As soon as the door was open now, I could here the yelling that earlier I couldn't here. I snuck into the lab and shut the door quietly and watched from behind a table as the two of them yelled at each other.
"You're not making any sense Gab!" Rover yelled at her. "What is your problem? You're yelling at the others and hardly coming out of your lab except to eat and yell at them if any of them talk to me! Why won't you talk to us?"
"Why do you care?" She yelled back at him. "It doesn't seam like you seam to be caring about much other then yourself and what you want!"
"What are you talking about? I've been helping the others for days in fixing up things and doing the things that you're ignoring!"
"Me ignoring? This is the first time that you have gotten off your ass along with the others and worked for the first time in your lives!"
"What's wrong with you? You're nothing like the Gabriella I knew or cared about!" Gabriella froze at his words. He breathed deeply before he turned around and walked right out the door. I knew better then to talk with him at the moment so I think its best that I try talking with Gabriella now and Rover later.
I got up from my spot behind the counter and walked over to Gabriella. I placed the plate of food I made for her on the table next to her and tapped on her shoulder. "Food?" I whispered to her. She looked away from me and grabbed her food and slowly began to eat it before she placed down her plate after a few bites and sat down next to her counter. She was still, and there was nothing I could do to help her. I left her lab and hurried back to the kitchen and saw the others in there eating, all but Rover, who was still missing after the fight between him and Gabriella.
"Is something wrong Jasmine?" Annabel asked.
"Nothing, other then the obvious problem." I sighed. Olivia looked at me puzzled.
"What do you mean?" She asked. Rose shook her head.
"She's talking about my brother and Gab. The two of them have been raring up for a fight since we left Sunni, and even then she seemed a bit upset, but it's gotten worse here I think by a lot." She said.
"Key word had Rose. They just fought and it ended badly, like really really badly. I'm worried that something extremely bad is going to happen. I tried to talk to Gab, but she was really out of it. She didn't even eat more then a bite of her food I gave her before she sat on the ground, still as board. I'm going to talk to Rover now and see if I can get threw to him." I told them while fixing him up a plate.
"I don't think that's a good idea Jazz, you should just let him be." Rose said sadly. "He wants to be alone, he's a guy, there more stubborn then a pig headed bull at times. Just let him be."
"I can't do that Rose; you know it's not in my nature to let someone suffer, especially if its one of my friends. I'm going to give it a try, and if he still won't talk, I'll let him be, but I'm going to give it a hell of a shot before I give up."
"Don't say I didn't warn you." She called as I walked out of the kitchen with Rover's breakfast in hand. Walking up to his room, I worried about him after having that fight with Gabriella. He looked so hurt and broken, was he even thinking strait?
I knocked on his door and received no reply the first time. I tried a second time and I could just barely hear him muttering to himself 'go away'. I opened his door on my own by hacking it at the side and moved in his room. He was over by his punching bag, hitting it as hard as he could. His fists were bruised badly from what I could see, but he didn't stop. The tears were just rolling down his face, it was the saddest thing I ever saw, and the first time I ever saw a guy cry.
"Rover." I said to him. "Calm down." It was like I wasn't even there. My words went in one ear and out the other, Rover either was ignoring everything around him, or he's lost his mind. His fist were becoming even more bruised and it looked as if they were turning purple, little bits of blood were starting to seep out of his knuckles. "Rover stop!" I yelled at him, grabbing his hands in my own and bringing in front of me.
His eyes were blood shot when he looked at me, filled with the utmost rage I had ever witnessed. "Leave me alone kid, I want to be alone right now." He ripped his hands out of my own and turned around, starting to punch his bag again.
I sighed and grabbed his arm right as he was about to punch his bag. "Rover, I saw the fight between you and Gab." He turned around, but didn't look me in the eye.
"You saw our fight?" I nodded. "Then you agree with me that that blue monkey out there is not Gabriella. She's nothing like her, and..and.."
"You want the real Gabriella back." I said for him. He nodded and sank to the floor. I pulled him into my arms and brought him over to his bed, sat on it and set him next to me. "I know what you mean; I've noticed that the monkey with us is Gabriella's body, but not herself. Almost as if, she's possessed. But you are right, she's not Gab."
"What'll we do kid?" He asked me. I looked at him sadly.
"I don't know Rover, but I will do everything in my power to bring her back." I took the bottom of my shirt, which was over another shirt off and ripped it up into long pieces.
"Kid, what are you doing?" I hushed him and took the long pieces of cloth and tied them around Rover's knuckles on both hands. Then after I wrapped up his hands, I took the other piece of cloth I had and tied it around my wrist.
"This is what I'm doing." I said to him. "I'm making a bandage for you and a reminder cloth for me. This cloth is the same color as you, so when I see its bright color on my wrist, it'll remind me that Gab still needs to be fixed. As long as I have this cloth on my wrist, Gab still needs help and I'm going to give it to her."
"You mean that kid?" Rover asked me, looking hopeful.
I rolled my eyes. "Rover, when I have ever let you guys down?"
He let out a single chuckle and game me a small smile. "Thanks kid."
"You're welcome. I brought you breakfast, take all the time you need to eat it and don't worry about your duties for a while. I'll take care of them with the others." He thanked me and started eating as I left. I headed out to the command center where the others were now that they had finished breakfast.
"So how badly did my brother beat you up?" Rose asked me.
I snorted at her comment. "He didn't even lift a finger against me. We talked it over and we came to a compromise, but I need to deal with Gab now and see what's going on with her." It was then that the alarm went off, cutting off my sentence.
"Looks like Gabs going to have to wait. We got enemies showing up in numerous areas in the robot, the bed area, the kitchen, and near Gabriella's laboratory." Olivia yelled over the alarm.
"Alright, I'll head down to the bed area and help out Rover. Annabel head over to the lab and help Gab, Rose and Olivia, you two head over to the kitchen and deal with what's there. We'll meet up here when we're finished with the enemies. Hyper Force, Go!" The team ran off in the directions I told them to go and I ran off to the bed area to find Rover.
I ran into his room where the door had been ripped off its hinges and throw in the back of his room. His room was trashed beyond belief, punching bag ripped and cut to pieces, his bed thrown off in the side of his room. But no one was here.
"Rover!" I called out. It was then that I felt the walls shake around me and saw piles of ooze swarm in around me. From the piles of ooze formed the Skeleton Queen's formless, their weapons all aimed at me. I ran at them and hit them with my Lightning Kick and Thunder Punch. They oozed away in seconds. It was after I defeated them that I heard a scream, low pitched, and male.
I ran from the room and into the hallway of our living area in the direction of Rover's scream. I turned the corner toward the back of our living area and saw the purple creatures surrounded around Rover, who was one the floor, gasping for breath and barely able to stand. I lashed out my newest move 'Monkey Mind Scream' that Annabel had taught me and destroyed all of the creatures around. When they were gone, I hurried to Rover's side to see if he was ok.
"Rover?" I whispered to him. He turned his head to me and gave me a stupid smile like he always did.
"Hey kid." He said. "What took you so long?" I gathered him up in my arms and hurried to find the others.
"You're going to be okay Rover." I told him, more for my own satisfaction then his.
"Don't worry kid; I've face things way worse then this." He tried to move in my arms, but stopped short when the wound in his side forced him to back down. "But not this painful. Can you fill me in on what's going on, besides the fact that we're being attack?"
"After I left your room and headed back to the command center, I was talking with the others about Gab and then the alarm went off, I split up the team and hurried to help you. Annabel went to help Gabriella at her lab, while Rose and Olivia headed off toward the kitchen; all places were filled up with the Skeleton Queen goons. How they got on the ship however, none of us know. We planned to meet up when we were done at the command center." I explained to him.
"Let's get going then." He said. I carried him to the command center, but when we got there, I didn't see any of the others. The command center was a bare as my kitchen was back on Shuggazoom before I left. Empty and lifeless. I placed Rover down in his chair grabbed my black wool jacket from around my waist and wrapped him in it.
"Kid, what are you doing?" He asked me as I covered him with the jacket.
"Rover, you're in no condition to fight, and I have to help and find the others. Please stay here and keep as quiet as possible while I find the others and help them, then we'll tend to your wounds." I told him. He squirmed in my jacket and tried to get up, I pushed him back down. "Rover, don't argue with me, I'm ordering you not to move from this spot until we come back or unless you're attacked again. Is that understood?"
"Yes ma'am." He muttered, turning his face away from me. I sighed and looked at him sadly.
"Don't give me that look Rover; it makes me feel really guilty."
"Good, I'll stop if you let me go."
"Let me see… yes, no, yes, no, yes, no." I emphasized on the end to him. He slumped in his chair. "I'll be back soon, and don't you dare disobey my orders." I didn't hear his reply as I ran out of the room toward the kitchen and the lab. The kitchen was empty as I passed it, but I just loved the new décor. Food was caked on the walls in everyway possible; the fridge was thrown against the wall, smashed into pieces, the oven was scorched over, singes and coals still lingered on the top and sides of it, and the microwave door was blown off and smoke was flying out of all of these items. I sighed at the fact of all the money it would cost to get this all repaired.
I moved as fast as I could down to Gab's lab, it was the only place that I imagined that the others would be at since the bed rooms and the kitchen were clear. It was then that I heard a large crash down the hallway and I ran faster to see the others facing off against more of the servants of the Skeleton Queen. They were surrounded on all sides. I rushed toward them and fired off a 'Monkey Fu' at the ones on their left sides and jumped next to my team.
"Where's Rover?" Rose asked me, giving a right hook to a formless that was right behind her.
"I left him back in the command center." I gasped as I raced to kick two creatures into the back wall. "He had been injured so I hid him in there and ordered him to stay until we came back or he was attacked."
"Was he gravely injured?" Annabel asked, clawing her way threw multiple formless and creatures surrounding her.
"I think so, I had to carry him all the way back, but at least his still had his sense of humor."
"Well, at least we know that nothing too important was broken." Rose said blasting the last formless that was running at her. It turned into a pile of ooze and gathered with the rest and slithered its way outside of the robot.
"Was that all of them?" Olivia asked. I looked around and saw no others and there was nothing on our scanners anymore.
"I think so." I answered her. I turned back to my team, but stopped short when I saw that there was only three behind me rather then four. "Where's Gab?" I asked them.
"That is where our problem begins." Annabel said. "When I came to aid Gabriella, she was allowing herself to be tossed around like nothing when the formless came. I had to fight on my own until Rose and Olivia showed up to help me. If I am correct, she should still be in the same place she was when I last saw her, thrown into the wall in a barren spot in her lab." We all hurried into Gabriella's lab that stood next to us and saw that Annabel's description was exactly right. Gabriella was against the wall, looking at the empty space in front of her. It seamed as if she had not been harmed that badly, but I saw no movement from her, I feared that she wasn't breathing.
"Gab?" I called out to her. She slowly moved her head up to look at me. She looked so lifeless, it hurt on the inside. "Gab I need you to get up, we need your medical knowledge to help Rover." It was at the moment I stopped talking she looked up sharply with fear in her eyes.
"Rover's hurt?" She whispered. I nodded. She jumped from her spot on the floor and grabbed her first aid kit and ran down the command center with us right behind her. As we just passed the kitchen, we all heard a male scream echo threw the robot that almost stopped our hearts.
"There are more creatures in the robot!" Annabel shouted. "They're in the command center!"
"That's where Rover is!" I shouted, we ran as fast as we could after Gabriella, who was sprinting in front of us. When we reached the command center, we saw a horrific sight before us. Rover had been thrown against the floor, my jacket no longer covering him, without it, we easily saw the blood that was just pouring out of his abdomen. I could even tell if he was alive anymore. He looked even more lifeless then Gab had been when we found her in her lab. One of the creatures stood right in front of his and raised its claw above its head for the final blow.
"NO!" Gabriella shrieked, charging into the creatures and slicing it and a few others with her 'Laser Criss Cross'. She ran to Rover's side and quickly started to tent to his wounds in the best way she could with only the help of her first aid kit. The rest of us quickly ran up to the rest of the creatures and destroyed them. With them out of the way, and Olivia making sure that we had no more enemies on the robot, we all hurried over to Gabriella and Rover, to assist in any way possible.
"Annabel, can you levitate us to my lab please?" Gabriella asked. Annabel nodded and floated all of us to Gabriella's lab. She had Annabel place Rover on a table and then Gabriella shoved us all out of her lab. From here on, we had to wait on Gabriella and hope that Rover would pull threw.

We wait for nearly a few hours, all of us worried for our friend. But the two of us that were worried the most were Rose and Gabriella. I could understand Gabriella because I pretty sure that she loves him. As for Rose, I bet it was hard for her, because she was his twin, which meant they were closer to each other then anything, and I bet she could feel the pain he was going threw, being connected top each other.
The red light on top of Gab's lab finally turned off with a quiet ding sound. All of us jumped from our spots and watched as Gabriella appeared from the lab, her hands saturated in blood.
"He's stable, but in need of a blood transfusion. Normally we would have Nova give him blood, but since she's not here and Rose and the rest of us don't have the same blood as him, I need Jasmine to give a donation." Gabriella said.
"I'll give as much as it takes to save him Gab." I told her, standing up from my seat and following her into her lab.
Gabriella's Point of View:
Jasmine followed me into my lab and I quickly set her up on a machine to give as much blood as Rover would need. She sat quietly as I dealt with the thoughts that were running threw my head as we waited. I realize my mistake now; I know what happened to me.
During my fight with Mandy, she had placed a small bug on the back of my head. One that was programmed with a virus that had me mess up the team with my out burst to break them and ruin us as a team and family. Thankfully though, when Mandy placed it on me, she threw it too hard which forced it to forget half of it programming, which if it still possessed it, would have had me destroy the team. I was able to remove the bug and become normal again, but then I remembered what happened between Rover and I when I was still under the influence of the bug. It hurt me to no end to know that now he hated me.
During the time that Jasmine was giving him blood, I told of what I had figured out and what had happened to me. She listened carefully to me, and had me recall every detail that I knew. When I finished with my story, we realized that the machine give Rover blood from Jasmine had shut off and stopped taking her blood.
"Is that enough blood?" Jasmine asked. I nodded and unhooked everything, there was nothing else I could do for him, and all we could do was wait. I couldn't help but feel the tears slip down the side of my face as I looked at him. It was the first time since we were kids that he looked so defenseless.
I walked over to his side and took his hand in my own, rubbing the back of his hand against the side of my face. "Please wake up Rover, I can't lose you. I'm so sorry for what happened, Mandy placed a bug on me that made me act all mad at you guys and almost had me hurt you all, but I got ride of it after you got threw to me with those words you told me. They hurt, but they brought me back to my way of thinking, breaking the bugs control on me because of my strong feelings. Please come back to me Rover, I love you too much to lose you." It was then that I felt one of my tears land on his face and I felt him move his finger. I sat up shocked at this. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me.
"Is it you Gab, the real you?" He asked me. I gasped and threw my arms around him. I felt the hand that I had held grip my own to show his own happiness.
"I love you too Gab." He whispered to me. I felt the tears come down my face even more. I just barely noticed threw my happiness that Jazz left the room. I was thankful, but surprised because she had left behind a ripped up piece of cloth on the table.
"What's this?" I asked allowed to really no one.
"I guess the kid came threw with her promise after all." Rover said, looking at the cloth.
"What do you mean?" I asked him.
He laughed softly as to not reopen his wound. "I'll tell you later Gab, but for now, let me rest, I can hardly keep my eyes open."
"Of course. Sweet dreams Rover." I whispered to him as his eyes closed again, a smile on his face and one on mine too.
I sat for the rest of the night to watch him, happy that our fight didn't end it all.
