The True Sixth Monkey

Chapter 11

Jinmay let out a grunt of pain as she and Chiro both fell through the  portal. As she looked back at Chiro's unconscious form she also noticed  that the two of them were still n the forms of monkeys.

Gibson  was the first to reach them as he quickly began scanning the two of  them. His eyes widening when the scans showed the results of liquid bone  in Chiro's system.

"Antauri, I need your help in the sickbay if  we are going to save Chiro!" Gibson yelled as he gathered Chiro in his  arms and ran for the stated destination, the silver monkey right behind  him.

Nova came up behind Jinmay, placing a hand on her shoulder. The younger monkey looked up at the older, worry in her eyes.

"Chiro will be fine." Nova said. "He's a fighter and won't give up without a fight."

Jinmay gave Nova a small smile before turning back to look towards the sickbay with a worried frown.

Gibson  rushed around the sickbay gathering different chemicals to counteract  the liquid bone while Antauri stood to the side using his own Power  Primate to help buy them some time. Gibson quickly began to carefully  mix the chemicals that he had gathered into a small cup before running  back to chiro and Antauri. He carefully began to pour the mixture down  Chiro's throat before activating the scanners and ran to the computer to  see the results before sighing in relief.

"I was able to cancel  out the liquid bones physical form and effects so Chiro will live but  there's nothing that I can do about the mental effects." He said turning  to look at Antauri. "It's up to Chiro to fight off those effects."

Antauri  nodded. "I will do what I can to help his Power Primate abilities fight  against that. We should head back to the others and find out more on  what is happening as well as with Sparks."

Gibson nodded as he followed the silver monkey out of the sickbay where the others were waiting for them.

"We were able to stable Chiro's condition physically but the rest is up to him." Gibson said.

"Now  we need to know what else happened before you returned Jinmay." Antauri  said as he turned to the smaller monkey. "And where Sparks is."

Jinmay looked at the others before looking back at Antauri.

"When we first entered the world it did take us to a Power Primate signature, but it wasn't Chiro's."

"What do you mean it wasn't Chiro's?" Otto asked from his place by the machine. "Who else could it belong to."

"It was Mandarin's." Jinmay said.

There was a shocked silence going through the room as the others stared at her in shock.

"There  are many things that the Power Primate is capable of," Antauri said.  "But it cannot be wielded by those that are evil. If the machine latched  onto Mandarin then there is something that we don not know going on."

"What about Sparks?" Gibson asked.

"When  we found Chiro we were attacked and separated. When the bands activated  Sparks told me to activate mine to get me and Chiro back here while he  stayed behind with Mandarin."

"What was it that attacked you?" Nova asked, placing a hand on Jinmay's shoulder.

"We  were attacked by Vallina, but she had been turned into a demonic  version of you guys. she was saying how Skeleton King sent her there to  torture and destroy those that skeleton King sends to her."

Once  again the others stared at her in shock. So much was goin through their  minds with this new information but they couldn't find out more unless  Chiro woke up or whenever Sparks returned.

Vallina  groaned as she came back to consciousness. A quick glance around her  and she remembered the fight against Sparks and Mandarin. Her eyes  narrowed as she stood up with a growl, raising her right hand as dark  energy swirled around it. Formless in many shapes and sizes appeared  around her.

"Find the simians." She snarled. "And bring them to me alive."
