Yo, guys!

Chapter 5: A Real Crazy Weirdo

Adams Tech Co.

Emily hurried back to the building as things had calmed down a bit. "Emily, there you are!" her mother yelled, running to her. "Where did you go??"

"Hehe, relax, Mom!" Emily blushed. "Just thought I'd, monkey around a bit and catch some monkeys." They looked to the containment capsule where the 10 monkeys were held.

"But... How did you-"

"With my T.E.L.A.-N.E.T.!" Emily held the net up. "I locked on the containment chamber so the monkeys would be transported inside! Or anything else I felt like catching, he he he."

"Well... great job, Em!" Kim smiled. "'Course there's still a bunch more that escaped from the lab, but we can track down the last few in town easily. Come upstairs, want you to meet someone."

Kim guided her to a laboratory on the highest floor of the building. A brown-haired woman in a lab coat was speaking to an employee before he walked away. "Emily, this is one of our leading scientists, Rebecca Jake. Professor Rebecca, this is..."

"Holy cow!" Emily perked. "I know you! You used to be in the Amish Sector!"

"Hm hm hm... did I?" Rebecca smiled. "I've been surrounded by technology so long, I can hardly remember ever living on a farmland."

"Hu hu! You became the KND's best scientist after you transferred to the Aquatic Lab! Hardly any experience and you were a natural! I gotta have your autograph!"

"Hm hm, maybe later. We have a feeling who's behind all these escaped monkeys. No doubt, it's the work of Specter."

"Who's Specter?" Emily asked.

"Specter was one of many test-subject monkeys we had here in the lab." Kim explained. "11 years ago, we created the Peak Point Helmet and placed it on him. It was a helmet that could grant artificial intelligence, and we created hundreds. But those were Pipo Helmets, lesser variants, and Specter's was the core helmet, which granted him artificial psychicbending. Using his powers, he broke out of the lab and stole the other helmets, giving them to all sorts of monkeys. He tried to take over the world, but we managed to stop him. I don't see how he-"

"Why, with my superb planning, of course." They all jumped when a TV came on, displaying Specter's image. (Cue Specter's Theme from Ape Escape.)

"Specter!" Kim gasped.

"Though I will confess, I couldn't have done it all on my own. Mr. Mogul, for example, provided great assistance in duplicating these Pipo Helmets. As for how I escaped myself..."

"HE HAD HELP FROM I: Mmmooojo Jojo," A green-skinned, black-furred monkey appeared, with a purple cape, white boots and gloves, and a white, purple-striped helmet over his head, "who has heard of Specter's miraculous designs and sought to make an alliance with him, which is what I did, after I rescued him, due to my ingenious planning, because I am smart, and you imbeciles are-"

"Okay okay, I think they-" Specter tried to speak, but his mechanical collar sparked, reverting to his nasally voice. "DAAAH this voice-modifier will be my bane! Cut the camera, cut cut-!"

The screen switched to a picture of a monkey shrugging sheepishly and holding a potato camera. Next to him read, Technical difficulties. Sorry about that.

The screen soon cut back to Specter, back in his cooler, echoey voice. "Ahhh, that's better. Now without any need to go into all the details, I have successfully assembled my army of over 500 apes, and as we speak, they are producing more Pipo Helmets and hunting more apes to add to my army. And commanding those monkeys are the five most intelligent apes in my army, next to Yours Truly of course. Sadly, my Freaky Monkey Five cannot be here now. But if you are wise, you'll stay where you are and not have to meet them."
