"We can get you a new one, but you have to calm down first."

Nova dodged something hard that Magma threw.

It started when Sprx threw out a broken pencil. Ever since then, Magma started throwing a tantrum that nobody could believe. He burned bright red and he was almost on fire. Nova, Otto, and Gibson had to be brought in to help Sprx out. Antauri was in town so they couldn't ask him for help. It would be appreciated if he was there, though, Antauri would've calmed Magma down by now.

Otto tried to pick him up, but Magma smacked his hands. The mechanic quickly withdrew his hands from him.

"That wasn't nice, young man!" Gibson scolded.

Magma only screamed louder. Otto walked away to find a pencil that could be a good replacement. Chiro walked in the room, having heard the commotion from outside.

"Okay, what happened, I-"

Everything in his body tensed up. He looked down to see Magma threw a communicator at his toe. Chiro looked up at Magma. Internally, Chiro was screaming in pain.

"What the fuck."

Everyone looked at Chiro before looking at Magma, all of them speechless. Magma kept going like he didn't just throw something at Chiro.

"Did. Did he just." Sprx started.

"I think he did."

"He threw a communicator at Chiro."

Nova looked at Gibson. "Okay, go see if Chiro's okay, Gibson. Sprx, Otto and I will handle this from here."

Gibson nodded and immediately ran to Chiro. He got him to sit down before he looked at his foot. The start of his second toe was bruised purple. Gibson looked up at him.

"How does your toe feel?"

"It hurt really badly at first, but now I'm just annoyed." Chiro responded. "What the hell is going on in there?"

"Sprx threw out a broken pencil Magma wanted, now he's throwing a tantrum."

Chiro sighed. He didn't know what he was expecting. Magma always got pissed at the tiniest of things, and this wasn't any different. Gibson sprayed the toe.

"I know this is a primitive way of treating it, however it still works." Gibson said. "It should no longer be purple within an hour. If you can, keep your feet out of the way of anything that could injure them."

"Gee, mom, wonder how I can do that with ten kids running around." Chiro smirked.

Gibson rolled his eyes. "Gee, wonder where you can get five monkeys and a couple of robots to help you out."

Chiro playfully shoved Gibson. Gibson laughed. Sprx walked out of the room with darkened, burned fur. He coughed out a puff of smoke. Gibson put out the flame on Sprx's chest with his finger and thumb. Sprx groaned heavily.

"Spat out fire?"

"Yep."

Gibson put his hand on his helmet. "Time to call Antauri?"

Sprx sighed. "Might be."

"There's no need."

Everyone looked in the same direction. Antauri laid the bag of groceries down as they looked at the three.

"Just tell me where Magma is and I'll calm him down." They added.

Everybody pointed at the room Nova, Otto, and Magma were in. He went inside and everyone else looked in from outside the room. Antauri lifted Magma in the air with telekinesis and Magma quieted within seconds. He moved Magma towards them, held him in their arms, and started rocking him. The red and black monkey became much calmer, as shown through his fur turning back to normal coloring, but he still grumbled.

Otto gave him a colored pencil. Magma yanked it from his hand and held onto it. Antauri looked him in the eyes.

"Don't take things like that, Magma Cloud." He calmly scolded. "I expected you to behave much better than this."

Magma looked away in shame. Antauri turned towards Chiro.

"And I'm disappointed in you, Chiro. Don't swear in front of the kids again."

Chiro's mouth hung open. "How did-?"

"Power Primate," they answered. "When Magma hit you, you accidentally contacted me for a couple minutes. I saw and heard enough to come back."

Chiro could only blush and look away. He thought he mastered it completely, but it seemed like accidents like that could still happen. Antauri looked at Nova.

"Have the other kids been acting up as well?"

She shook her head. "Nope. Jasper and Dactyle are hyper as always, but they've been behaving."

He smiled. "Good. However, I believe we should start cooking soon."

Nova nodded; she and Otto went to the kitchen to get everything ready for dinner.

"Gibson, until dinner is ready, we'll be keeping an eye on all the kids." Antauri continued. "Sprx, clean yourself up. I'll help you and Chiro relax later."

Sprx nodded. "Will do."

Sprx walked away while Chiro took care of the grocery bag. Antauri quietly sighed. He couldn't leave the Super Robot for a few hours before everything went awry.

Next time, he was sending Otto and Gibson out.
