Miss Queen B: Hey all, not much to say in this chapter but one little note. Thanks to some suggestions from Dark Fox Tailz, I added an extra part in my last chapter so if you like go back and check it out. I'll leave the other notes at the end. Enjoy.
Chapter Nine:
Crazy Visit to the Crazy
"Tell me again why we're at the park" Lili asked.
After a large fight and shouting at the Skating place, Jade told them to take the fight somewhere else so Antauri suggested some quiet time at the park. So right on the grass in a straight line sat Lili, Tiku, Zin, Midnight, Haya, Xel, Misty and Blackrose while Antauri sat in front of them in his mediation form.
Kai and Ruby were using a water hose near by to wash the brown spice off of Eclyps's fur. Kai couldn't help but giggle a little bit because the water was just making his fur more brown than white.
"We're here to release some tension in the air and hopefully enjoy the rest of the evening"
"I need to visit Erik Krinkle, today is support group day" Haya said.
"Shhh" Antauri said, "now everyone close your eyes for a second"
"What did he say" Tiku asked.
"He said close your stupid eyes" Zin said.
Everyone close their eyes, "now take a deep breath and let's all be mature people and talk out our problems" Antauri said.
"What did he say" Tiku asked.
"Shut up, Tiku," Lili said.
"He said, take a deep breath then we'll finish the fight" Midnight said.
Everyone took a deep breath and opened their eyes. "Lili, don't ever ask me to help you with your school work again" Misty said, crossing her arms.
"I said I was sorry, but I didn't want you to tattle tell on me and ruin my plans" Lili said.
"You didn't have to lock me in the bathroom!" She shouted, "do you have any idea how embarrassing it was when Jade opened the door and I saw a group of people looking at me like some fool"
"I said I was sorry" Lili said.
"She's only saying that because she still needs help with that upcoming Algebra exam" Tiku said.
"Shut up, Tiku" Lili shouted.
"Well, you can forget it" Misty said, getting up from the ground and stormed off, "I'll call you later Haya"
"Bye, Misty" Haya said.
"Misty, wait," Lili shouted, running after her, "I said I was sorry, but more do you want"
"Please, let us bump into Bronze again" Tiku prayed as he followed the two teenage girls.
"That was weird," Haya said, getting up from the ground and stretch out a bit. "Well, this is fun and all, Aunt 'Tauri, but we really need to get going and head up to Ranger 7"
"Wait, just one minute" Eclyps said, walking over to the group, soak to the bone. He shook his body to dry up and puff up a bit, "Xel was about to tell us something about you that involves me somehow"
Everybody looked over at Xel, who was getting up from the ground as well, "what thing about me" Haya asked.
"Yeah, I want to know too since after all, it's your fault that we got run over and piled on back at the Roller Blade Center" Kai asked, crossing her arms.
"And turning me all brown and spicy" the white tiger said.
"Well, now that you're here as well as everyone else, I wanted to keep this a secret, but I saw something on your website that roughly changed my mind" Xel said.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this" Zin said to Midnight.
"Are you still mad about that whole fork thing during our lunch outing" Haya asked.
"Yes and that video you put on your website" Xel said.
"So much for meditation," Antauri said, and got between the sliver monkey and the blue cub, "please, it's getting late and I want to rest of the day to be peaceful"
"Fine, come on, Xel, let's have a little chit chat" Haya said, walking away from the crowd with Xel following her.
Finally when they were twenty feet away, Haya was the first to speak, "look, if it will make you stop crying like a little baby, I'll take the video down, ok" Haya said, (beside it's been up for a while for people to burn and send to other people) she thought.
"Thank you, that's all I just wanted" Xel said.
"Hey, what do you expect, if you're going to threaten me with a secret that gives me all the rights in the world to do the same"
"I just didn't want you to give Antauri a hard time, that's all"
"I think it's a little too late for that" Haya said.
They stared at each other for a second with a slight grim face. "You know, maybe when you're a little older and stop being so proud and prideful you'll see that falling in love is a very wonderful thing and no doubt the love will be return" Xel said, plain and simple.
"Doubt it," Haya said, pushing Xel back to the crowd.
"Is everything cool" Kai asked.
"Yes, I guess" Xel said, "come on, if we leave now and get Eclpys dried up and groom we'll be able to get a good spot to watch the fireworks"
"Alright," Kai said, "see you later Antauri"
"Hope to see you again, Haya" Eclpys smiled, causing Haya to blush cheery red.
At the Super Robot...
"Are you sure you don't want to go" Antauri asked Adriana
"You know I would help you with babysitting Antauri, but I don't think can handle going to a mental hospital" She said, with a small pity smile.
"Yeah, that goes ditto with me, beside I already asked her if she wanted to go to the BBQ party at Shuggazoom Park with Ruby and me" Blackrose said.
"Well, I guess I'll see you all later and thanks for hanging out," Antauri said.
Blackrose gave her brother a huge metal-bending hug, "when you're done visiting the nuthouse try to find us at the BBQ, we'll save you a seat"
"Alright, alright, quit crushing me," Antauri said, gasping for air after Blackrose release him.
Blackrose grabs Ruby's hand and Adriana's tale, "Let's go kite flying, YAY" she said, running off while dragging the female monkeys from behind.
Antauri waved good-bye then let out a big sigh as he walked into the Super Robot with his tale dragging on the floor. He flew up to his Brain Scrambler to find it filled from corner to corner with the junk food and prank equipment Haya bought this morning.
"What's going on" Antauri asked.
Haya popped her head out of the pile of junk food and smiled. "What does it look like, since it takes about an hour to get to ranger 7 I thought we could hang together and talk"
"So what's with the junk food and pranks things" He asked.
Zin and Midnight popped their heads out of the pile of junk food right next to Haya, "You can't have a hang out without junk food" Zin said.
"Plus, we wanted to do our pranks after we leave the mental home" Midnight said, opening a bag of chips.
"And all you have to do is hold on to this tray of cookies" Haya said, giving Antauri a tray of cookies.
"I have to drive in order to get there" Antauri said.
"Please, Antauri, we all know you have that Auto pilot robot, just use that and hang with us" Zin said.
Antauri sighed and the next thing he knew he was sitting on the ground, surrounded with junk while holding a tray of cookies. Zin, Midnight and Haya hold up their cups full of soda for a toast.
"A toast," Haya said, "to the greatest friends I never, ever, wanted in the first place"
"Same here" Zin and Midnight said and they clang cups together and took a sip.
"I said the same thing when I met Zin, that was the worst day of my young life" Midnight said.
"You're not exactly a picnic at the beach, it's hard to do things because you're boring" Zin said.
"Will you stop calling me a Stick-in-the-mud" Mid raise his voice.
"I didn't call you a stick-in-the-mud," Zin yelled.
Haya splashed the rest of the two liter soda in their faces and smiled at Antauri, "Aunt 'Tauri, would you like to hear how I save these two idiots from nearly tearing each other apart"
"You got soda all over my sour candy . . . or what's left of it" Midnight said, glaring at Zin.
"Shut It!" Haya said, "well, do you want to hear it, it's also the tale how all three of us met" Haya said.
"Can I put down the tray of cookies" Antauri pleaded.
"No" Haya said, plain and simple, "Anyway, it's all started the morning after the Hyper Force's Slumber Party." (MQB: Read Tiger Priestess's "It's Party Time")
Flashback
Haya exited the Super Robot after she told her babysitters, Moron and Clueless, she'll be back around noon to bug them. She smiled and let out a small yawn while admiring the megaphone she found in Otto's room.
"I'm so keeping this" she said.
When she left the Robot it was about to be 7:00 in the morning and that would mean Bronze and Grandfather Scrapperton would be up by now and no doubt cooking breakfast. The thought of a big stack of blueberry pancakes covered in powder sugar made her little tummy growl. She was about to zip her way home when she heard voices.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you can't take a little joke" a male voice said.
Haya ran by to the nearest tree and peeked out to see two monkeys yelling at each other. One was the dark blue monkey she just shared a few little words with during the slumber party and the other was the black monkey with red eyes that had red market all over his face.
"A joke, you call drawing all over my face with permanent market a JOKE" the black monkey shouted.
Zin stared at him for a second, "yes and you don't have to spit in my face, Middy"
"I can do a lot worse if you don't help me get this crap off my face" Midnight shouted.
"Why should I help you when you're acting like a little sissy baby" Zin laughed.
The shouting was getting on Haya's nerves and so Haya thought it was up to her to do something about it.
"If this is payback for the time I beat you in that wrestling match then that's just low" Midnight said.
"I was just helping the girls out and beside you cheated during the match and-"
"ATTENTION YOU MORONS, IT'S SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, SO STOP SHOUTING LIKE IDIOTS BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO WAKE UP THE ENTIRE CITY!!!!" Haya shouted in her megaphone.
The two monkeys scream from the high pitch volume and could of sworn their antenna like ears were about to bust. They turn around to see the small little cub laughing up a storm while holding the megaphone. "Robot monkeys, they come in all shapes and colors, but they're all as dumb as a sack of dirt" she said.
"Hey, don't compare us with Sprx and Otto, little kitty" Zin hissed.
Haya's face darken, "what did you call me" she asked.
"What, you don't like it when I call you kitty, you look like a cat" Zin said.
"Stop picking on her, it's not her fault she's nothing but a house pet" Midnight said, smirking.
"Unlike you two robotic pieces of trash, I'm a full bred rare tiger that's worth more than all the money in the cosmos" Haya bragged. Her gem started to sparkle.
"You still look like a house cat to me" Zin said.
"I do admire that hatred and rather childish personality" Midnight said.
"House cat" Zin said.
Haya kicked him in the knee causing Zin to lose his balance and landing bottom first to the ground. "Don't you ever call me a house cat" Haya threatens.
"Oh and what are you going to do about it, scratch me" Zin said, "I'm twice your size and have weapons that can easily crush you"
"Now this is a new low, killing a little, tiny kitten" Midnight said.
Haya grabbed her megaphone, "I AM NOT A HOUSE CAT, PLANET OF THE STUPID APES!!"
"DON'T YOU CALL US APES, YOU FURBALL" Midnight shouted back.
"Metal, tin can, piece of crap" Haya said.
"Royal, sorry, pain in the butt" Zin shouted.
"Banana-loving, trash can" Haya hissed.
"Rotten, ugly, little blueberry" Midnight said.
"Tomato eyes, fun-sucking, marker covered, rusty metal junk" Haya said.
"Hahaha, that's a good one" Zin said, while smacking his forehead.
"Shut up, you googled eye, don't-know-nothing-about-anything, moron" Midnight shouted at Zin.
"Who are you calling don't-know-nothing-about-anything, moron, Bots for brains"
"Both of you are probably the dumbest, stupidest, sorry excuse for both robots and monkeys that when compared to Moron and Clueless, they're rocket scientist" Haya said.
"Why don't you participate in a hunting game and get stuffed" Zin said.
"Or get your head chopped off and mantel on the wall" Midnight said.
The three glared at each other for a couple of seconds til Haya spoke up with a smile, "so you guys want to be best friends and settle this with a all out fight"
"Sure" Midnight and Zin said,
"Great" Haya said, smiling till she unleashed her claws, "DIE"
Haya tackled them to the ground.
Zin, Mid, and Haya laughed as they fell backwards in the pile of junk food. Sitting back up, Zin grabbed a bag of chips and opened, "It took nearly three hours for police to split us apart"
"We spend a day in jail" Midnight said.
"Bronze had to bail us out then I got grounded" Haya said, taking another sip of soda.
"Can I please put the tray of cookies down" Antauri said.
"No, we need that for the bribe." Haya said.
"What bribe?"
"Yeah, see I was banned from the mental house for scaring some of the patients but I work out a little deal with the fat man that works at the front counter. He'll let me in with supervision in exchange for a tray of cookies" Haya said.
"There is no way I'm going to bribe someone just to see some insane person," Antauri said.
"Too late, we're here" Zin said.
The three looked out the window to see one of the semicircle buildings opening up to allow the ship to land. There was still a giant hole in the roof that was blocked off by a thick piece of glass.
"Looks like they haven't fixed the damage Erik did the last time he was here" Midnight said.
"Not yet, his parents are still appealing that in court because they don't see why they have to pay the damage since it was clearly not their fault their son went insane" Haya said.
"They're right, you know, they should blame Hyper Force for that" Zin said.
"Why are we to be blame" Antauri asked.
"Well, if you didn't destroy those robotic bugs, Erik wouldn't have snapped and crash the bus into your Super Robot" Midnight said.
"We didn't even know the young boy til we found out he blamed us for making his Uncle insane"
"Stop, stop, stop, hold on, let's not bring up that day," Zin said, "the last time we did I nearly choke to death from laugher."
Midnight laughed, "oh yeah, it was ever better when we saw the DVD, that one part when Sprx and Antauri-"
Haya punched Midnight hard right in the stomach causing him to kneel over and cough a little. "They don't know about the DVD" Haya whispered.
"Gotcha" Midnight said in a high pitch voice.
Once they landed, the four went inside the building and went up to the front counter to find the fat guy Haya was talking about. The fat man spotted the little cub and the three monkeys and shifted his eyes around to make sure there were no doctors and nurses and stroll over to them in his rolling chair.
"Cookies" He whispered.
"Chocolate chip, your favorite" Haya said, nudging Antauri to hand him the tray of cookies.
For once, Antauri didn't argue, he had already broken out of jail so he couldn't reach a new low. He handed over the cookies and the guy handed them a card key, "he just finishing group therapy and will be in his room. Be carful, they took the straight jacket off and put him on some pills"
"Thank you" Haya said.
Using the card key, Midnight swipe it in the door that lead to the patients' room and group therapy sessions. The hallway was quiet with one or two moments of someone screaming or laughing or shouting, "I don't belong here."
Haya walked ahead while looking at each room number. "Wow, there are so many rooms" Antauri said.
"Yeah, this one is my favorite" Zin said, pointing at one of the group therapy room. The door was slightly ajar and they stop to see who was in the group. Inside were six teens, four boys and two girls, and their doctor sitting in chairs in a circle. The six teens were wearing light blue-green shirts and pants with a name tag on their wrist. Erik sat there with a grim face, crossed arms and slouching while listening to one of the teen boys spill his sorrow.
"I guess the best advice I was given was when I was seven years old. This old, old man live next door to us and would pay me a nickle to listen to his tall tales or advice he learn from his youth. I sat there one time in his front yard while he sat in front of me in his old rocking chair. He calmly placed his ugly loose skin hand on my head and said, "Trevor, you should never eat raspberries," then he laughed and rush off to the nearest bathroom"
The rest of the group stared at him with a raised eyebrow as he sat there rocking back and front while biting his nails. The doctor just smiled, "that's nice Trevor, you're showing real improvement"
"How is that showing improvement" Erik asked, brushing some of his grayish-blue hair out of his face. From the looks of is, he hasn't cut it in a while.
"Well, he said raspberries is very bad for the stomach and that's good advice I guess since I grew up with heartless foster parents." Trevor said, who was now biting his fingers til he left teeth marks in his flesh.
"Calm down, Erik, you'll get your turn," the Doctor said, "who's next." He turned his attention to a red head girl who had her face buried in her hands.
"Seven, Seven, does anyone find this wrong," The red head asked, "Seven, my name is Seven, why am I named after a number" she whined then started to cry.
"Because you're the seventh child out of the ten children your parents had" Erik laughed.
Seven cried ever louder.
"I sense something evil" Another girl whispered to the doctor, "she's near by and came back to finish the job!"
"The stupid lion cub isn't here now shut up, Cindy" Another teen boy shouted.
The Doctor sighed and placed his notebook down, "I think we talk enough for one day, now I want you all to go back to your rooms and get ready for bed"
Everyone got up and walked out of the room except for Seven, who was still crying on the floor. The four that were spying stood next to the wall and waited for the teens to leave. Erik was the last one to come out and spotted them right off the back. "What are you doing here" He asked Haya.
"What else?" Haya said, "to visit and I brought a few friends."
"Where's Bronze," He asked.
"Out doing errands so she send me and these stupid heads to visit" Haya said.
Antauri noticed Haya winking at the disturbed teen and grin as if she was up to something but that was quickly forgotten when Erik stared at him with his big, black eyes. His eye started to twitch and he started to grind his teeth.
"Why don't you show us your room, Erik so we can talk," Haya said, grabbing him by his pant leg and tugging him to move. The two walked but Antauri didn't move.
"You should not look at him in the eyes, Antauri" Zin said, "that's the worse thing to do"
"Why," Antauri asked.
"Dude, are you that dumb, it was you and your team that made him snap and go all crazy and now every time someone mention robot monkeys or if a robot monkey looks at him in the eyes he'll lose it and beat them to a pulp" Midnight said.
"How do you know about this" The black monkey asked.
"He was about to attack me on our last visit till the doctors tackled him and he ended up with three shots in his butt" Zin said.
"But ironically ever since he went all looney Haya seems to like him more now than ever." Midnight said.
"Erik is use to us, but we're just giving you fair warning in case you're beaten up" Zin said, as the three walked down the hallway to catch up with Haya and Erik.
They enter a small room that had nothing, but a drawer and two twin size beds. Erik was sitting on his bed with his legs cross on the left side of the room. "Make yourself at home, but try not to talk to loud my roommate is a little jumpy." Erik said.
On the right side of the room was another teen boy playing with some popsicle sticks, he turned his attention to the four guest, "DO NOT DISTURBED THE ARTIST AT WORK, I DON'T KNOW" the teen boy shouted causing everyone to jump onto Erik's bed.
"He's getting ready for Arts and Crafts therapy" Erik said, rubbing his face then his messy hair, "It's his favorite class because it reminded him of his freshmen art class before the stress and pressure of being a honor student took control of him. Now every time he finished a sentence he ends it with 'I don't know'" Erik said.
"No way" Zin said and whispered at the teen boy, "Hey, what's your name"
The boy torn a small bit of a popsicle stick off with his teeth and started to eat it, "Johnny, I don't know"
"How old are you," Midnight asked.
"15, I don't know" Johnny said, "you want to go to art and crafts with me, I don't know"
"Sure, why not, I'm in a painting mood" Zin said, dragging Midnight by the tail as the three headed out the door.
"Don't go too far we'll be leaving soon" Haya said, winking.
"No problem" Midnight said.
"What's going on" Antauri asked but Haya ignored him and now it was only Haya and Antauri alone with the other crazy messed up teen.
"So how are you holding out here" Haya asked.
"Terrible, the first week they wouldn't get me out of the straight jacket then the second week was nothing but group therapy and pills, finally I got a room and a roommate and look how that turned out. The food stinks, I losing a lot of sleep, my parents don't visit and I don't know why I'm here in the first place, I'm not crazy" Erik said, he noticed Antauri was staring at him, "STOP STARING AT ME, YOU ROTTEN PIECE OF TRASH"
Antauri jumped and fell off the bed but quickly got back up. "I wasn't looking at him" he whispered to Haya.
"Don't disagree with him" Haya whispered back.
"But I wasn't looking at him, tell him that" Antauri asked.
"I can understand you, you know" Erik said, while staring at the bed sheets.
"You can" Antauri asked.
"That's what I forgot to tell you, Bronze made him a small communicator so he can understand you guys as well as any other language in the cosmos" Haya said, "she made a more advance one by copying the basic chips from the one she stole from the Sun Riders"
"So smart" Erik said, sighing like a love sick puppy,"she made two small chips that you place one in your ear and attach the other one in the back of your wisdom tooth"
Erik opened his mouth and the two can see the small chip inside his mouth. "Bronze had to sneak it in the last time she visited. It was her way to say sorry for being in here for the next two years"
"That's sad" Haya said.
"But look at it this way at least it will help you get bet-"
"I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU!" Erik shouted causing Antauri to fall off the bed again.
"Aunt 'Tauri, where are your matters" Haya said, looking above him from the bed. "You know how big of a nerve he gets from you talking to him"
Antauri sat up and tried not to twitch a bit as he stared at the disturbed teen who was shaking and running his hands through his hair. "Haya, can I speak to you alone, please"
"Ok," Haya said, jumping off the bed and walking over to the hallway with Antauri not too far behind.
"Haya, I want you to gather up your friends and I want to get out of here, this place is crazy and for some reason, I just have this bad feeling something is going to happen'
"Will you relax, my babysitter, just a few more minutes and then we'll leave to do our pranks" Haya said, "You got to understand that Erik doesn't have any friends and just visiting him will help him through these things"
"It sound like you really care about him" Antauri said.
"I don't, I just find this a good excuse to come here so I can scare a few of my babysitters on the third floor" Haya said.
"Well you listen to me, we're leaving and we're not going to do pranks, we're going home and stay there till Bronze come back"
"But I want to do pranks" Haya said.
"No we're not" Antauri said, putting his foot down.
"I WANT to do pranks" Haya said, firmly.
"Pranks" Erik said, standing just an inch from Antauri. The sudden closeness made Antauri uneasy. "I always wanted to do pranks, oh, the dream to get out of here and seek revenge on all those who did me wrong" Erik said, while making a small twirl and walked down the hallway.
Haya followed him as well as Antauri as they enter the room where they just had group therapy. "All my life was nothing but one misery after another and being in here did kind of change me for the better" Erik said, "I mean, there are teens in here that are a lot worse than I am"
Antauri noticed Erik was hiding something by the way he was kneeling over with his back facing them. He leaned a bit to the left and saw a small suitcase, "Haya, I think we should leave" he whispered.
"Relax, Antauri, he's just spilling out his sorrow."
"I mean, I was good enough to get out of my straight jacket and good enough to get my own room with a roommate, but I did have my episodes like the time Uncle Gyrus mention the monkey team and I nearly claw his eyes out. Now I hardly see him anymore since he's been building some strange machine that no one knows about" Erik said, opening the suitcase and started to laugh, "Pranks, pranks, pranks, pranks, how I wish I can leave and play pranks with you guys"
"Too bad you can't because you're here" Haya said, laughing a bit.
"Haya, let's get out of here, I think Erik had enough visitors today" Antauri said, gently pushing her to the door.
Suddenly Haya was grabbed by the teen boy and with one swoop was in a tight arm lock with a needle pointed at her next, "You're not leaving without me" Erik said, grinning like a mad-man.
"Oh this is just great, if he doesn't get what he want I'm going to get a legal injection of a unknown and probably poison substance" Haya said.
"Let her go" Antauri said, releasing his claws.
"Don't come any nearer or this little tiger is going to die" Erik said, "now shut up and walk, we're getting out of here"
"Just do what he said Antauri, once we're out of here then you can beat him up" Haya said, "and hurry up, my neck is bend in a weird way"
"Erik think what you are doing, this will probably make you be here much longer and-"
"Shut up, monkey, I know what I'm doing I'm not crazy now WALK" Erik ordered.
Antauri slowly walked out of the room and noticed a few of the patients peeking their heads out to see what all the commotion was about. "Erik, why are you doing this" Seven asked.
"Don't start with me, Seven" Erik said, "do I have to bring up that story about your seventh birthday party"
Seven started to cry and slammed her door. Antauri tried desperately to find Zin and Midnight, but for some reason, they disappeared and he didn't want to risk harming Haya if he contact the team. As they enter the main room, the only thing keeping them from the exit door and bunch of doctors and nurses stop what they were doing and back a way a bit.
"Back off everyone or I'll poison this little demon" Erik said.
"Erik" a doctor said, "put the needle down and let's talk about this"
"I'm through talking, I don't belong here and there's no way my parents, the court and YOU are going to make me stay here a minute longer now get out of my way"
"Please people, it's just a cub, she'll be better off dead" a nurse said, crossing her arms, "she's the reason a lot of people are here in the first place"
"Well, I might as well tell everyone you've been switching patients' medication out of boredom" Haya said, hissing from the needle slightly digging into her skin.
Some of the doctors stared at the nurse, who blushed and slowly walked away. Erik kicked Antauri to move to the door while slowly walking backwards to make sure no one tried anything stupid.
"Oh please, help" Haya said, sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
"If anyone try to follow me I'll drive and crash my transportation into this building and make you all suffocate in space" Erik laughed while exiting the door.
As everyone stayed still, Gyrus Krinkle walked out of a room with a glass of water and two pills in his hands. He turned his attention to the exit glass made doors and saw Erik yelling at the black monkey to get in the Brain Scrambler Polit. Gyrus just chuckled, "He didn't get that from my side of the family" he said, while swallowing the pills.
Antuari was literally shoved into his own vehicle and fell to the floor. As if things couldn't get any worse, he heard two familiar voices shouting at each other once again. He looked up to see Zin and Midnight yelling and fighting over a bag of candy.
"That's my candy, you idiot, give it back to me" Zin said.
"Reach for it and you'll get a punch in the face"
"BOYS, Hello" Haya shouted.
The two monkeys turned to their left to see Antauri on the floor and the crazy teen holding Haya hostage. Haya was angry, "you sorry excuses for metal, I'm about to die here and you're in here and fighting over junk food!!"
"Well, Johnny was getting all crazy on us and I was still hungry and was going to get some candy" Zin said, "then Midnight chased after me saying that the last bag of candy was his"
"EVERYONE SHUT UP" Erik shouted right into Haya's ear, "ok, now, do you have any rope around here"
"How the hell should we know" Zin said.
"Don't get smart with me, monkey" Erik said, and looked down at Antauri, "I'm sure you have rope now where is it"
Antauri kept his head down he could easily attack the boy and be done with it, but with Haya in the way he didn't want to harm the cub. Bronze would skin him alive if anything happened to her. So while staring at the ground he pointed to back of the Brain Scrambler to a small door closet.
Erik walked over there and open it and grabbed the rope that had some lettering on it. "Unbreakable," He read, "perfect"
He tossed the rope over to Zin and Midnight, "you two are no threat, but tie up the other one, he sickens me" Erik said.
"Sorry, Antauri," Midnight said, making the black monkey to sit up.
Antauri didn't more while his tail and arms were tied up tight against his body then tied his legs together. "No problem, I just don't want Haya to get hurt"
"That's so sweet of you, Aunt 'Tauri" Haya said, smiling, "it just makes me feel bad"
"Feel bad about what" Antauri asked.
"Is he nice and tight" Erik asked.
"Yes" Midnight said.
"Good" Haya said, kicking Erik in the stomach before landing on the ground, "I do admit, Erik, I'll give you an A for your acting but an C for making my neck hurt."
Antauri literally heard a record scratch, "huh" was the only thing that escape from his mouth.
"Relax, Antauri, it was all a big act to help Erik escape" Haya said, "that's why I felt bad about you saying all that sappy crap about my safety and making sure I didn't get hurt"
"Can we get out of here" Zin asked.
"I so wanted to drive this" Midnight said, grabbing the gears and turning on the engine. As the others cheered for joy for leaving the mental house, Antauri sat there, tied up, dazed and confuse.
Miss Queen B: wow, I actually got this chapter done early, I hope you like it. I wanted to bring Erik back for a bit because I felt like I was neglecting his character.
As for all the Oc's, don't worry they'll be back soon around the last two chapters. They will all be there for the big fireworks show. Hehehee.
Please review and see you in chapter ten.
Chapter Ten: Pranks: With Antauri tied up, Haya leads the others into a prank war on the city of Shuggazoom.
