Chapter 1

It…was…puzzling…

Why was it so hard to figure out?

Gibson had asked himself one question. What were the formless made out of? Such knowledge to the team would be fantastic. Taking a good sample, Gibson began his analysis on the thick black ooze. But after examination after examination it was no use. He never found any resemblance between chemicals he had seen and the formless. It just wasn't something scientific. Gibson sighed and went to pour the liquid down the drain. He gave up.

But then Otto walked in.

"Hi Gibson!" The mechanic said in his usual cheerful tone.

"Hello Otto." Gibson replied.

"Whatcha doin?" The green simian asked.

"Nothing important. I was just trying to figure out what Skeleton King's formless are made out of."

"Oh, okay!" Otto stepped closer to Gibson's view, and the scientist realized there was something stuck to Otto's fur.

"You're fur is…"

"Oh this?" Otto tried to brush it off. "It's cat hair! While Chiro and I were walking through town this girl's cat got stuck in a tree so I had to climb up there to get it down. It was so soft and fluffy! I wish we could get a cat."

"Be careful Otto! Stop brushing the fur off in here! I can't let cat hair into my chemicals!" The blue monkey tried to wave the flying cat hair away from his test tubes, not realizing one of the hairs floated into one of the nearby beakers.

"Sorry!" The green simian stepped back.

"And don't forget about the incident with Thingy. We could never keep a pet in the Super Robot."

"Oh yeah…" The mechanic said. "Well, I'll leave you alone now, Gibson."

"Alright." Gibson turned back to his work as Otto left the room. He brushed any of the lingering cat fur off of the table.

The green simian went to clean the hair off, but he wasn't two steps into his room when a large BOOM was heard in the robot.

"What was that?" Otto asked. He ran into the hallway and met up with Nova and Chiro, who were running to the source of the noise.

"I think it came from Gibson's lab!" Nova said. Chiro nodded and they followed her. She was right. The door was closed, but smoke was slowly flowing out of the room.

"Chiro, stand back. We don't know what that stuff is! Otto, get him out of the robot!" Nova put a mask over her face to keep from breathing the smog. The green simian grabbed Chiro's hand and they went outside. Sprx and Antauri ran out behind them.

"There was an accident in Gibson's lab?" Antauri asked.

"Yeah, I hope he's okay." Chiro looked up, hoping Nova would come out with the blue simian soon. After a few minutes Nova stepped outside.

"Well, Gibson's okay. I opened some of the back windows to clear the fumes. But…Gibson is…different." She said. The others stepped inside and followed her.

"Gibson…" She crouched down and looked under one of the chairs. "Come out please."

Slowly out from the dark shadows came a small blue robot cat. It had a white patch of fur on his chest, the usual robot monkey ears became pointed cat ears at the top of the head, and the legs had now been made for walking on all fours. The front legs were still robotic.

Sprx immediately fell to the floor laughing as Chiro and Antauri stood speechless. Otto ran over right away.

"Gibson! You look so cute!" He wrapped his arms around the cat, but Gibson just growled at him and broke free from the hug. Then he hissed and ran back under the chair.

"The lab accident did this." The yellow simian stretched her hand under to stroke her brother.

"So…so now he's a cat?" Sprx got back up still chuckling.

"No, he's a turtle." Nova said sarcastically.

"Well, we have to get him back to normal." Chiro walked over to see Gibson.

"Yeah, but how?"

"We need to search for an antidote." Antauri said. "Perhaps we can find one in his lab."

"I'll go look." Otto turned and Antauri followed. Gibson gave a slight growl in response before finally coming out from the chair. Sprx stifled another laugh, but didn't find it so funny when Nova let the blue feline sit in her lap.

"What are you doing?" The red simian asked.

"I'm holding Gibson. What does it look like?" She raised an eyebrow and began rubbing Gibson under the chin. The cat rolled around in her lap and purred. Sprx narrowed his eyes.

After a few minutes, Antauri and Otto came in.

"We couldn't find any way to turn him back." The green monkey said.

"We're going to have to research this ourselves." Antauri added.

"Well, we better hurry. Gibson can't stay this way forever." Chiro picked up the blue feline, who had been sitting on the floor at the moment.

"Indeed. I suggest someone head to the store and get anything necessary for Gibson to be comfortable in this situation." The silver monkey said.

"Okay." Chiro put Gibson back down. "Come on, Otto."

The green simian excitedly ran out the door with the boy. The blue feline let out another growl before Nova picked him back up.

"Are you alright Gibson?" Nova asked. He just looked up at her wide eyed. It was obvious that if he tried to speak she wouldn't understand him. The cat just flattened his ears and turned to the door where the two teammates left from. He was mad at Otto. He knew that somehow some cat hair had flown into one of his chemicals and done this. It was his green companion's fault this had happened, and who knows how long Gibson was going to stay like this? Possibly forever?

After an hour, Chiro and Otto walked back in carrying dozens of bags.

"He nearly ransacked the store getting stuff." The boy placed his bags on the floor and pulled out all the things they got. Mainly cat toys. Otto put his bags down and pulled a large book out of one of them. It had a title that read All You Need to Know About Cats. Then he pulled out a small bed, the color blue, a scratching post, some cans of fish and chicken, and a small bag containing catnip. Gibson flattened his ears again.

"Well, at least Gibson will be…" Antauri cleared his throat, "…entertained. Let's put these things where they won't be in the way of our duties as heroes." The others nodded.
