For Beastfire, and it's extremely late. -_-;
For the sake of each and every member of the Hyperforce, there were a few rules set that everybody had to follow. You know, make sure the bathroom has toilet paper when you leave... don't leave the training machine set at a high level...
Don't go into Otto's room when he's working.
This was not a rule set for or by Otto. On the contrary, he had no problem with people talking with him as he built something. The rule was for the sake of everybody else. See, when Otto got into inventing something, he had this... laugh. A crazy and disturbing laugh that rivaled in creepiness with that of Skeleton King himself. Actually, Skeleton King didn't stand a chance if the two went head to head in a laughing contest. Therefore, for the sake of the rest of the team still seeing Otto as the sweet, innocent member of the Hyperforce, Chiro made the rule when he walked in on the monkey one day and learned his secret. After all, there had to be at least one childish member on every team, or it creates a madness that could warp all life as we know it.
But the next day, the laugh of Otto's creativity would be so loud, that Chiro would spend what's left of this story putting duct tape over the growing hole in the time space continuum. Thank goodness he remembered those T-shirts that talk about it holding the universe together.
The rest of the team, meanwhile, went down to Otto's room and opened the door slowly. “...Otto?” Nova asked, putting a foot in the door, unable to see the green monkey in the dimly lighted room.
“You okay pal?” Sprx asked, also poking his head in. “How does he work in this light anyway?”
“I don't know,” Antauri replied. “I doubt he usually works like this. Actually, I sense this is all a poor attempt by the writer of this story to create a frightening atmosphere.”
And that's how Antauri ended up stuck helping plug the hole that would otherwise absorb the universe... with his head.
The remaining members of the Hyperforce, who can actually appreciate poetic license for the sake of humor, walked into the room, huddled together. They found Otto at his desk on the other side of the room, chuckling to himself.
“What's going on?” Nova asked. She and the others blinked in surprise when the lights suddenly came on.
“Finally, after weeks and weeks of work, it is,” Otto turned to face them, and held up a familiar, plastic coil, “complete!”
“...Isn't that a slinky?” Gibson asked.
“It's not just a slinky! It's a super slinky!”
Otto smiled proudly, but the others just stood there dumbfounded. The green monkey obviously didn't care though, because he went to his desk and placed his invention down, pushing the top coils over the edge. The others watched it fall coil by coil to the floor.
Sprx looked up at Otto. “So... what makes it sup-” Suddenly, Sprx screeched and fell face first to the ground in red light.
“It shoots lasers!” Otto said, smiling proudly.”It can also explode, fire anti gravity beams, and fix holes in the time space continuum!”
In fact, up in the command center, the slinky had done it's job. Chiro sighed in relief. Perfect timing; he had just run out of duct tape. A second later, something fell on his head, and he screamed upon realizing it was a silver robot monkey, but just the body, arms, and legs of it.
“Monkey Team!” Antauri's head yelled as it floated through the booger world it had landed in. “Chiro! Sprx! Gibson! Somebody, help!”
