# Finding the Megas {% file src="" %} **Doc Gibbons** *Do you see that light up ahead? I think we've made it.* **Mega Gold** *Oh, literal light at the end of the tunnel. Are you ready for what lies ahead, Doc?* **Doc Gibbons** *As ready as I'll ever be. Are you Mega Gold?* **Mega Gold** *With every metallic fiber of my mega mutant being.* *Let's do this.* **Doc Gibbons** *We don't know what's waiting in there, so stay sharp.* *Let's get our friends back.* **Mega Gold** *Ready when you are Doc.* **Doc Gibbons** *Into the breach.* *We are here Megas, hang tight. We'll get you out of here.* *Mega Gold. How is it looking over there?* **Mega Gold** *Not good Doc. Noise and Electric over here are severely weakened from the custom dampeners on these cells and Robot seems offline.* **Doc Gibbons** *Same here.* *The Megas do not look good.* *We need to get them out of here as soon as possible.* *What? Oh Zombie has been ever so strangely estranged from his brain. Heavens to Megatroid, This is both cruel and unusual.* **Mega Gold** *Is there any sign of Mandrill?* **Doc Gibbons** *No. I don't see him anywhere. You?* **Mega Gold** *Nothing here, but the transponder indicated he was here.* **Doc Gibbons** *We need to find him.* **Veil** *Who...me?* **Mega Gold** *Doc. Look out. Materializing right above you. It's Veil.* **Veil** *Why hello, Avila Pires. Oh, is it Mega Gold now? Hello Abbott.* **Doc Gibbons** *Hey.* *What you have done will not stand. We will not allow you to hold the Megas any longer or use their powers for whatever your nefarious purposes may be.* **Veil** *You and what army, Gibbons. It would appear to me that any of the reinforcements you would require are conveniently incapacitated here in this facility.* **Mega Gold** *Enough of this. Where's Mandrill? What have you done to him?* **Veil** *What have I done to him? Why, nothing at all. It was he who did all the doing.* **Doc Gibbons** *What are you saying monster?* **Veil** *I am Mandrill.* **Doc Gibbons** *You...are Mandrill? That's impossible.* **Veil** *Didn't you learn anything in my classes Abbott? Nothing is impossible, especially when we can use magic in summoning to bend and shape our perceived realities and to whatever we desire.* *But I don't expect you to understand. You never understood anything you couldn't back up with calculations or formulas. My love for Esme pushed me to the edge. She was dying Doc. I was helpless. So I made a choice.* **Doc Gibbons** *A choice to lose yourself.* **Mega Gold** *You made a deal with a devil Madrill.* **Doc Gibbons** *You traded your hominimity for this twisted shell of the great ape you once were* **Veil** *A shell? I found something far beyond what any of you can imagine. Through the original veil. I didn't just seek a cure. I found immortality. I saved Esme and myself in the process. We found a life eternal. A love that even death couldn't touch.* *Through my research into the arcane I discovered a life force without exploration. Unlike all the other life forms in our world, one that came from the metaverse. A realm that is forever.* **Mega Gold** *Look at what you're doing now. What is the point of all of this? Why have you imprisoned the Megas?* **Veil** *Like any living form, magical or material, sustenance and energy is required to survive.* **Doc Gibbons** *You are fooling yourself Mandrill. This isn't life. It's a nightmare. You sacrificed everything for what? To not only feed but to become a metaversal succubus?* **Veil** *Sacrifices must be made for greatness, Doc, and now you'll pay for standing in my way. I have been slowly absorbing the power from these megas. The mutations you've all experienced have bestowed you with incredible gifts.* *While this form had once had to imbibe a Koda a week, one Mega will last for years. You cannot have them back. No. In fact, I think it's best you two join them.* **Mega Gold and Doc Gibbons** *Never!* **Veil** *I'm afraid you don't have a choice. What's also great about the Mega Mutants is not only do I absorb their energy, but I also assimilate their power.* **Mega Gold** *Doc! Watch out! He's turning blue like electric* **Doc Gibbons** *Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!* **Mega Gold** *Doc. Now Veils turning purple.* **Veil** *I've had enough of your feedback. Here's some of mine.* **Mega Gold** *Uggggh no.* *Doc, Doc, are you okay? Yes. We need to fight back.* **Doc Gibbons** *Yes. I had hoped it wouldn't come to this.* *AZUL! NOW!* **Veil** *What, a Mega Koda? Not their magic. You fools!* **Doc Gibbons** *Yes. Azul, that's perfect, exactly as we planned.* *Bring us away from here.* *Mega Gold, stay here and liberate the Megas, then join us.* *Azul and I will hold off Veil as long as we can, but we will need all of your combined strengths to defeat him.* *I'm not sure how long we'll be able to hold him ourselves.* *Hurry!* *For All Ape Kind!*
