Chapter 4: Colors of the rainbow
As Sector V made their way round Moonbase they observed the Rainbow Monkey priestesses singing the Rainbow Monkey song. Kuki hummed the tune with them as they walked by. Numbuhs Two and Four dragged Sticky Beard as Nigel walked up front. Abby just looked at the way everything seems to have changed; it all seemed more secure.
“How are things on the Earth, Nigel?” Asked Numbuh 362, as soon as they came into the bridge. “I take it you saw the natives of Rainbow Monkey island in the hall.” She then said, looking at their confused faces.
“Why are they here, Rachel?” Asked Nigel “Did something happen?”
“Rainbow Monkey Island is-” She paused and looked at Kuki. “It’s empty; the Rainbow Monkeys have gone into hiding: I can only think that the adults making us eat them and the recent crimes committed against children have offended their deities.” She added pointing at a girl in native clothing dancing a woeful dance with a branch of colorful leaves.
Kuki just looked appalled. “They can’t have left! Don’t we give them enough Rainbow Monkey love?!” She asked in exasperation.
“Whatevah, it’s not like we care, anyway, I just wanna know why they’re here.” Said numbuh four.
“We had to get them to leave, they were going on and on with ceremonies clamming the Earth will come to an end of some sort. We need to know what is going on. And what about you? Why are you here?” asked Rachel.
“Just delivering a prisoner to you.” Answered Nigel. They handed Stickybeard to a pair of guards and he was on his way.
Minutes later sector V was on their way back home and everyone was very talkative on the trip: They talked about many things, about how odd it was that the Rainbow Monkeys had gone into hiding, if they were still there at all, about how moonbase had chainged, why they didn’t see too many familiar faces, about the priestesses in the base… Yet Abby wasn’t talking much: More like she was thinking.
“Guys” Everyone quieted down, she was too quiet to be about to say something unimportant. “numbuh Five’s gonna leave as soon as we get home” Alarm.
“What do you mean leave, you’re not quitting are you!?” Asked Hoagie in an immediate terror.
“No, no, Numbuh Five just needs some cool air.”
